"Loading. . .", then "Switching. . ." when I open QuickTime Player

I just installed updates on QuickTime Player 7. I don't know if this is a problem, but when I open QuickTime, it reads "Loading. . ." then "Switching. . ." and then seems to freeze on the "Switching. . ." screen instead of going to the QuickTime page that has links to videos that can be downloaded. Also, if I go to File > Open Recent>, it does not show recently viewed files. Is there a problem with this software? If so, please give advice to troubleshoot.
Thanks,
Dave

The same thing is happening to me. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it doesn't work. I'm not concerned about recently viewed, but am about Quicktime minimizing after "Switching..." and isn't allowing me to go to it's home window. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

When trying to send a link from firefox it opens quicktime player

when sending link from firefox it opens Quicktime Player, it opened Skitch before this??

Did you try to change that file action in Tools > Options > Applications
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
If that isn't possible then try delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.

Can't open Quicktime Player

Every time I try to open Quicktime I get this message: "The last time you opened QuickTime Player, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?" Whether I choose "Don't reopen" or "Reopen", the application doesn't work.

In c:\documents and settings it shows a default user folder and an owner folder. When I turn on the computer it shows Owner. I'm the only one who uses the computer, so I don't need to sign on or anything. Do I need to delete the default user folder? Thanks for taking the time to help me!

Video blinks when I use quicktime player?

When I use QuickTime PLayer to watch videos the video stops for a very little time (blinks) No matter if a movie, music video or ads.

It is blocked due to licensing, in order to mirror it would need to break DRM copy protection and this isn't legal.

Can't open Quicktime player after installing

Hi, I did a search and couldn't find this problem being directly addressed so hopefully someone can enlighten me. I had an older version of Quicktime on my computer that just stopped working properly (it may have been after I upgraded Internet Explorer), so I uninstalled it from my computer, downloaded the Quicktime installer for 7.1.5.120 and went though the installation process. It seemed to install OK, said to click the finish button, and there was an icon on my desktop (though nothing in the system tray).
When I tried to double click on the Quicktime Player icon I would get the window hourglass for a few seconds and then nothing. It won't open the player (and the same thing happens if I try to open through the program menu). I tried to double click on a .mov file, which then opens up the internet browser for some reason, followed by warnings from Windows that it has restricted the page from running active scripts, and if I overide the warning it opens a page with a broken quictime logo, then says there's been an error and explorer needs to shut down.
I've done complete uninstalls, even manually deleting left over files and then reinstalled with no luck. If anyone has any suggestions I would be appreciative! Thanks

Why does a loading bar appear when i open pages? it does not go away and does not allow me to close the app while it is up.

when i open my pages app a loading bar appears and cannot be removed. i have waited two and a half hors for whatever it is to load and i finally just had to force the program to close through the activity monitor. But this problem persists... every time i open the app the loading bar haunts me. i can still edit the document but the loading bar is still "layered" in front of the open app. my final question is, how do i get rid of this loading bar and what is it for?

Gabe,
It sounds as though Pages is trying to resume editing a bad document, or a very large one. Quit Pages, Force Quit if necessary, and then start it up again while holding down the Shift key to prevent reopening formerly open documents.

Volume 100% whenI re-open flash player...

Hello.
After installing the latest flash player for windows I get volume 100%, too loud.
In the previous builds I have selected volume 20%. f-player closed (in FF3.6). When I have re-opened the player the volume was still 20%. super!
but now I get 100%. this is strange.
how to do to set the volume definitively to 20% ?? I'd like that the default volume of flash player were 20%.
thanks a lot in advance.
best regards.

Hy Chris,
Now I have enabled the option "store data on your pc" 10KB data can been storend now...(in the past I chose "Never store data" => this was my error!), and now the volume settings has been successfully mantained!.
set volume at 5% > reload the page > volume still 5% (instead of 100%). ok!! very good!
[I think I cannot save cookies from 2o7.net from here
http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Browser/FlashCookies/Default.html
because the antivirus alerts me on "tracking cookies" and it blocks them! 2o7.net is reported as a bad site if I have understood the warnings of my antivirus...].
...but I have still problems with the AR for youtube, even if the flash player stores data on my pc now, and even if I have UNCHECKED the box "switch automatically to HD (maximun resolution) when full screen mode is selected" or so...
This happens with FF only!
Example:
video 360p.
I switch to full screen mode>
IE 360p > 480p : ok! good.
but in FF (only in firefox!)
360p> switch to full screen> 1080p: this is bad!
how to do?
thanks a lot!
best,

Music skipping when a webpage is loading up or when I open a new tab

This has been happeing for about 3 weeks. Never had this problem before.
So when I open a new webpage it'll skips, it's gets stuck for about 2 seconds. Just really annoying.
Don't know how to fix this. Don't know if it's to do with the lastest Safari or iTunes update.
Any help would be great. Thanks
P.S. Also I can't copy an image into iTunes. It just goes blank so I have to drag it. When I do that the picture is always stuck on the cursor and the only way to get rid of it is to go back on the page the picture originally came from.

Error message when trying to open Quicktime player 7.2 in Windows Vista

I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the Q Player a couple times but I still cannot get the player to run. This is the error message that pops up:
Microsoft Visual C + + Runtime Library
Buffer overrun detected
Program: C:\Program Files\Quicktime\QuickTimePlayer.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program’s internal state.
The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated
Thank you in advance for any help you might have for me.

Let's try swapping out your QuickTime one more time, taking a few additional precautions this time.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. In the Start menu, click "Computer".
2. In "Computer", open "Local Disk".
3. Open "Program Files".
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime and QuicktimeVR.
7. Restart your computer.
Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

HT201412 App starts to load then immediately crashes before opening.

I have an iPod Touch 3G. When I try to load Facebook from either the app or Sarfari, it immediately crashes. Also about a week ago, my photos were no longer availale through Facebook. I can't up grade to a new version of Facebook as I don't have the proper opertion system. Does anyone know what's happening?

See:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
Restore to factory settings/new iPod
It appears you really have a 2G iPod. those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
CAUTION
Before you restore the iPod make sure that your iTunes library has the version of apps that are presently installed on your iPod. Many apps have been update and the update apps are not compatible with the 2G iPod. I would do that by deleting the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer them to iTunes. See:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Delete all apps that are on your iPod from your iPod and then transfer then from the iPod to the computer by:

Art Works and Effects not loading in PSE5 when I open the program

Can someone tell me how I get the ArtWorks and Effects to load when opening the program. It was working fine one day and now I get no tags due to program error message.

Just to let you know that this worked. I opened the Editor from my icon on my desktop by right clicking, holding down the shift key, I clicked open. As soon as the program began to open the "building Artworks and Effects" started right away. I continued to hold the shift key until all my effects appeared.
One thing I did not do, per the instructions was to put my effects in another folder. They were already there. I did not have to delete anything.
To be honest, I don't know which of the two suggestions were the sole solution to my situation. Possibly the combination of both is what put me back to where I needed to be, since both were used.
I want to thank you both for taking the time to guide me through this. I thought I was in for a long drawn out situation, but it turned out to be easier than I thought with your help.

No matter what I do FF 3.6 always loads 8 tabs when I open it. I do not want these loaded (they were the first 8 I had opened. I have even deleted and resinstalled the app, but get the same result. PLEASE help me. Thanks

every time I open ff 3.6 it loads the same 8 tabs I had opened the first time I used the program. I have deleted and reinstalled the app, but that has not helped. I have tried to remove history etc. But these same 8 tabs keep coming back. How can I get rid of them? Many thanks for your help.

You may have those 8 tabs saved as home pages. Firefox can store multiple home pages, for details of how to change them see [[How to set the home page]].

Constant "Error" Audio Sound when I open Quicktime

Hi,
Every single time I open a .AVI File in Quicktime I get a constant and repeated "Error" audio sound from Windows. There are no pop-up error messages or any other indication of what Quicktime is doing that Windows does not like....except for this constant and repeated "Error" audio sound from my PC.
It is obvious Quicktime is doing something Windows does not like.,...but I have no idea what. Can anyone help clue me iin on what the problem might be?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me crasy...!!
Thank you.
Rich

Have you tried completely uninstalling and re-installing the current version of QuickTime?
You could also see if there's any related error messages in the Event Viewer which might help to pinpoint what the problem is.
