Mime file "hyjack" by Quicktime

Installed Quicktime Pro 7. Have fax system on network, faxes in tiff format (must be mime encoded).
When I first open a fax, Windows ask if I want to associate Mime files with Quicktime. First time I said yes. Big mistake because the file comes up in Internet Explorer and I can't find a way to make it open with the preferable picture and fax viewer. Tried to find option to turn off that association, but can't.
Uninstalled Quicktime Pro, rebooted, reinstalled. Opened a fax this time clicking no to the file association and checking the never ask me about this again. Well, low and behold, I go to open a fax and there it is in Internet Explorer.
What the heck is going on? How can I fix this permanently? If there isn't a simple fix, please consider adding a file association option for mime files to Quicktime.
Thanks
P4 Intel 5160 chipset Windows XP Pro

QuickTime Control Panel Browser tab. Click MIME Settings, remove file formats and restart QuickTime and your browser.
It's been a part of QuickTime since version 3.

~Can't open "noname" MIME files in Gmail~

I've searched for this topic, but can't understand all the tech-speak! I'm in my 20s, so I'm not dumb, just not in the loop. Someone break this down for me in layman's terms.
I use Gmail for my primary email. Lately, I've been getting attachments from family members who use PCs. These attachments are always called "noname." When I hit "download," I get a message saying that it is a MIME message and asking what application I should open it with. I always get a bunch of nonsense no matter what I open it with! It looks like it's trying to be HTML, but opening it with Firefox doesn't work. Neither does opening it with the StuffIt Expander.
Even when I hit "View as text," it doesn't make any sense. I'll paste a copy below. Can someone please tell me what application to open up MIME files in?
This is only part of the message because it was too long to post. Here we go.... close your eyes!!

It sounds like gmail has serious problems with MIME data. That isn't something it should have trouble with. It has been solved for a long, long time now.
Even when I hit "View as text," it doesn't make any sense. I'll paste a copy below. Can someone please tell me what application to open up MIME files in?
Ordinarily, your e-mail program.
I have a program I used to sell years ago when people started sending MIME e-mail messages that AOL couldn't understand. Perhaps I should update it if all the world is switching to gmail and gmail doesn't handle MIME either. 1996 is here again.
Anyway, click here to download it.
Technically this is a shareware program and technically I could make money from it. But very few people need this program anymore and it should work just fine for you in "demo" mode.

I recently upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and cannot open up .avi files now in Quicktime. These same files opened up with no problem prior to my upgrade. Additionally, I had upgraded to the Pro version of Quicktime recently, but it appears I've retrograded back to the basic version, unexplainably.

Hi,
I had exactly the same problem & found the answer here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3219982?start=0&tstart=0 . Download a program called Perian, very easy to download worked a treat. I wish all fixes were this easy - Debbie

I'mtrying to upload my photos to shutterfly I've gone to file and export then the window gives me the option of file export webpage quicktime and slideshow . on my macmini I have shutterfly on there also how do I get this on my new mac

I go to file and export then a window appears with file export, webpage,quicktime and slideshow. On my mini I have shutterfly as an option and don't remember how to do it. What do I do to input this info so that shutterfly becomes an option

Hi Barbara
Are your photos in iPhoto or are you using some other Photo Software?
The latest version of iPhoto is a lot different than iPhoto 6 for example. In iPhoto 06 you could burn the Originals from your User Picture Folder using Finder, while in iPhoto 11 it is best to burn them from within the iPhoto Application.
Open iPhoto and select the Event(s) that you want to burn onto the CD, then select Share on the menu bar and click Burn in the drop down.

Then again, maybe you got a bad batch of blank CD's and need to try another?

Need to create a MIME file to FTP to customer

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to generate a MIME file that will consist of am XML file and 1 to many attachments. This file will then be sent via FTP to a client. Searching within the SCN community has proven very difficult because I am NOT looking to do anything with the MIME Repository. I just want to create a file with a .MIME extension and having the appropriate tags. We are not wanting to send this file via email.
I have found several queries on similar topics but they do not appear to have a solution. Does anyone know of the proper Functions, Class methods or procedure to accomplish this within ABAP?
Best Regards,
Terry

$props = @{"FirstName" = '';
'LastName' = '';
'UID' = '';
'Site' = '';
'Description' = ''}
New-Object PsObject -Property $props | Export-Csv c:\powershell\myfile.csv -NoTypeInformation -Force
that's the closest i have been able to come, but it seems to put the columns in a random order..
$props=[ordered]@{
FirstName=''
LastName=''
UID=''
Site=''
Description=''
New-Object PsObject -Property $props |
Export-Csv c:\powershell\myfile.csv -NoTypeInformation
Formatting is important down the road.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How to read a mime file

Hi gurus,
is possible to read the attachments of a mime file ? The file is located in the file system and after read the content of the file and store it in a string I would retrieve the content like this :
MimeMultipart mm = MimeMultipart(theMimePartString) ;
BodyPart bp = mm.getBodyPart(1);
but the body part is null here.
Anyone has suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

What exactly is in the file? Is it an entire MIME message? If so, use the MimeMessage constructor to read it.

I have a Macbook Air (july 2012) with OS X 10.8.3 installed. I have dvds with .vob files and have Quicktime Version 10.2 (603.12). I can't play the DVDs. There are some features of QT that I like, e.g. precise frame selection and save as .png file-help. Am I missing some Apple software? I thought QT for Mountain Lion could convert the .vob files - is there some setting that I have missed?
Any suggestions that preserves a simple workflow much appreciated.

Iphone 4G syncing stalls with Info and Status files. File type is QuickTime Preferences. How do I fix this?

iTunes syncing won't complete. I monitored the backup file and it stalls at the Info & Status files. They have a File Type of "QuickTime Preferences". How do I correct the problem?

1. There is no iPhone "4G" model. Do you mean iPhone 4 or 4S?
2. Try deleting the last backup before syncing:

Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?

Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
I've followed instructions with success until "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?
I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed. (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac) Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app. It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one. Streamclip played the video with the sound. so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion. I'm exporting the first section now. I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie. I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame? If it can, what size should I select when I export?

Exported File Opened in Quicktime looks bad, but looks fine in Final Cut

I'm working on a DV/NTSC sequence. Original footage captured from DV/NTSC, so there is no recompressing happening in the timeline. I've exported the sequence as a Quicktime Movie, using current settings, not recompressing all frames. I've also tried this exporting as a self contained movie, but get the same results.
Once the export is complete, I open the file in Quicktime, the quality is blurred and degraded compared to the canvas in Final Cut. I then open the same exact file in Final Cut and view it in the viewer, and the quality is perfect! I have no idea why this is happening. If I take my exported Quicktime file, and run it through Compressor to create different formats, they all produce the low quality, blurry results. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on how to get around this?
So far, the only fix I've found is to go into the sequence settings as select "None" for compressor instead of the default "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC" setting. The problem with this is that then the whole timeline has to be rendered. Once the rendering is complete, then I can export to Quicktime without any quality loss when viewing the file in the Quicktime Player.

From the menu bar:
*QuickTime Player* > Preferences > General > Use high-quality video settings when available.

After installing version 7.5.5, all FLV files loose their QuickTime icon

Hi,
Just installed the new update for QuickTime, and noticed that an FLV file on my desktop lost it's QuickTime icon - and now has a VLC icon instead. However, the defaults are fine and it still opens in QuickTime perfectly.
Minor bug, but not nice.
How can it be solved?
Thanks,
Rudi

Yeah, you're right - though you can download something to append nice icons to files unknown to QuickTime. You'll also need Perian.
You can find it here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/25243
It's a nice little script that works on both Leopard and Tiger
It adds icons for AC3, A52, DIVX, FLV, MKA, MKV and VOB
Good luck

Every time I am trying to open Quicktime files with my Quicktime it wants to convert the files. Why?

Every time I am trying to open Quicktime files with my Quicktime it wants to convert the files. Why?

QuickTime version 10.3 will "convert" older legacy codecs into a more modern version. You can save this newer version and delete the older one.
This can only mean that support for those codecs will be removed completely some time in the future.

Quicktime Pro won't open an MPEG movie file with the Quicktime icon

What am I missing? Not getting? I have several MPEG movie files that proudly sport the Quicktime icon, but the Quicktime app tells me they're not movie files.
If Quicktime won't open them, is there conversion software I can use?
So much for productivity.

Didn't even consider it. I thought that because the file displayed the Quicktime icon and because I have Quicktime Pro, that Quicktime would play the file.
Unfortunately, this is a common misconception. However, now that you understand the problem, you can work on a solution. Basically, if by MPEG your are referring to common MPEG-2/MP2 content 'multiplexed" to an MPEG container, these can be played in the QT Player (or Front Row or iTunes) if you install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($19.99). However, be advised that this is a video only component, so it does not make "muxed" AC3 MPEG-2 files playback compatible with the QT player. Luckily, if you do decide to install this component, the free MPEG Streamclip application will allow you to play or convert such files to any QT compatible audio and video format for which you system is configured. Or, if all you want to do is play MPEG-2 video files without investing in the QT component, then you can view them with VLC but may have trouble converting them to a QT compatible format. HandBrake will also convert them without investing in the MPEG-2 component, but greatly limits your conversion possibilities. I personally would recommend buying the component as Neil recommended since it offers the greatest flexibility for playing without conversion, as well as, the most conversion options for all normal MPEP-2 Program and Transport Stream files you are likely to encounter using QT 7 Pro and/or MPEG Streamclip depending on the specific source content what you want to do with the final files.

Malformed mime file and Symantec AV SMTP Gateway

Hi
We are running 2 versions of JES at the moment, 2003Q4 and 2004Q2, both fully patched. We have just discovered that any messages with attachments that are directed through our AV ASPAM gateway from these systems are dropped with the following error.
Scan Status: 56 - Malformed MIME file
The AV product is Symantec AV for SMTP Gateways 3.1.2.35
On further examination of the AV logs it appears that e-mail from other institutions also running iMS
are also being dropped.
The response from Symantec is as follows
"This error indicates that the scanned email message did not conform to the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) standards as set forth in RFC 2045 - RFC 2049. Strict adherence to this standard prevents incoming email with virus payloads encapsulated within malformed MIME headers and form."
See
http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-gate.nsf/docid/2002112109330754?Open&src=w
I have also discovered that similar problems are being encountered by a user trying to send HTML messages via Sun Java Mail.
So, has anybody seen this beforeand know of a fix? It is a rather frustrating problem.
I can provide a copy of the full message text if required.
Many thanks in advance
Bernard

Bernard,
We are using Symantec AV SMTP Gateway with Messaging Server 6.1 and are not experiencing the problems you mention, though we did see a few such issues with an older rev (we're currently using 4.0.0.59). Some of the fixes Symantec lists with ver 3.1.7 are:
# Some multipart MIME messages with nonstandard boundary markers incorrectly parsed
# Some multipart MIME messages with numerous plain text attachments not parsed correctly
# Some multipart MIME messages containing two terminating boundary markers for the primary (outer) boundary generate a false positive malformed mime error
You might consider upgrading your AV SMTP Gateway to see if this fixes the problem.
Regards,
Brian
