Multiple versions of QT and iTunes on control click's "Option with"

When I control click on an item, the open with menu populates two choices of QT 7.2.1 and 7.3. The same is true for iTunes and Safari. When I select the older version, a new QT icon appears in the dock. Is this normal behavior? Strangely enough, when I select "other" application and a new finder window comes up, the duplicate applications are not listed. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Anyone?

Deleting previous versions of iPod and iTunes software

I'm trying to clean house. Is it safe for me to delete the older versions of iPod and iTunes software that are on my C drive? I would probably die if I lost or misplaced my music files! Thanks.

HT1343 On my 4 1/2 year old Macbook I could select multiple files by highlighting a file and then moving cursor over a file lower in the list, and pressing shift-control-click. I can't do that in now with Mac Pro. What am I doing wrong?

ghlighting a file and then moving cursor over a file lower in the list, and pressing shift-control-click. I can't do that in now with Mac Pro. What am I doing wrong?

Holding down the control key will invoke "right-click."
Depending on the View, holding down Shift will with either toggle the selection (Icon View), or it will make a continuous selection from the previous selection (List View or Column View).
The only way to make a continuous selection in Icon View is to drag out a selection marquee around or through the icons.
I can't remember the behavior of previous OS's.

When i tried to sync my new iPhone to Itunes, I accidentally clicked on sync with my ipod, instead of creating a new one. So now my iphone is the replica of my ipod, deleting my contacts and pictures etc. Is there a way to get it restored?

Only if a backup of the iPhone with all that data on it exists. If one does, restore the iPhone using that backup.

My iTunes is creating duplicates of playlists and hanging up. running latest version of lion, and iTunes using match and iCloud. please help. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. deleted all library files and is doing same thing.

I am runing lion and latest version of itunes. I have match on, home sharing on and using icloud. my itunes started hanging up and required me to force quit. then upon restart of itunes and restart of computer itunes would take upwards of 15 minutes to open and was using >90% of CPU and would be lagging in response if responding at all one of the playlists I had created on my ipad had over a hundred copies of the same playlist. after repeated restarts I uninstaled itunes and reinstalled. this didnt rectify the problem. I assumed library file had somehow become corrupt so I deleted library files, reimported all my music and synced with genius and match. and let the computer go over night. when I woke in morning all my music was back but I had all the extra playlists again and itunes is hogging all the cpu and was minimally responsive and hanging up after each click.
I thought this might be a virus or something but installed ESET cypersecurity did a complet scan with no threats found. I am at a total loss and do not know where to go from here. I hope one of you can assist. Thanks!

I had this exact issue. Spent over an hour on the phone with apple support, they couldn't resolve. Here is what I ended up doing, that worked.
1. Turned iTunes match off on all my iOS devices
2. Deleted the offending playlists from the iOS device they originated on
3. Started iTunes, let it run (literally) for an hour before it became responsive. First thing I did, before clicking anywere else was disable iTunes match. If I clicked anywhere, it would clock for another hour.
4. Let iTunes run overnight, by morning it had cleaned out the repeating play lists. This got my Mac/iTunes back to an operable state.
5. Restore iPhones from backup in iTunes.
What was causing my issue was a single playlist that was created on an iPhone, then suddenly showed up with several thousand duplicates on my other iPhone. The culprit playlist did not, for some reason, duplicate itself on my two iPads. Apple support seemed to think it was because the problem iPhone tried to sync the playlist to iCloud over and over again unsuccessfully, then it finally went through and populated the thousands of blank/failed playlists which then tried to propigate to iTunes and my other iOS devices. Seems like a reasonable theory.
I have not yet re-enabled iTunes match. So, no idea what will happen if I decide to go back down that rabbit hole.

Multiple versions of Apache and PHP

I'm setting up a new Xserve with Apache2 and PHP5. I understand that Xserves ship with Apache2 and Apache 1.1 already installed and when I do
httpd -v
it reports back the older version of Apache. When I do
php -v
it reports back version 4.4.1.
At the time I investigated this, I didn't know Apple had pre-installed Apache2 so I installed it via Fink and FinkCommander. When I installed it originallyl from the entropy.ch files, asking httpd for its version reported the older version even though the System Preference pane said that Apache2 was up and running. What is going on that both are running simultaneously?
After installing Apache2 via Fink, httpd now properly reports its version as 2.0.55... which is what I would expect after properly updating Apache from 1 to 2.
I'm experiencing something similar with my PHP5 installation via Fink. Asking terminal for php -v reports version 4.4.1, however when I query PHP through a web script running phpinfo() it reports back in the web browser as being version 5.0.4.
So, what triggers the command line to report back different versions of installed web services than other methods? Why does my webpage through phpinfo() report back 5.0.4 where terminal says php -v is 4.4.1? Does it even matter? Does this mean two copies of PHP are running? What turned on the old version? I thought PHP had to be triggered by a PHP request. Why does Apache2, when insttalled through one method still report the older version when queried through terminal, but installed a idffererent way report the new version? Why did that not seem to afffect the ability for Apache2 to run properly? What does the version, as reported through terminal, of a given web service even mean if multiple versions of web services can run simultaneously and multiple reports of those versions can return different results? For that matter, how can I then truly verify that the version running is the version I installed? It wasn't until terminal reported my version of httpd as being 2.0.55 until I felt like the Apache2 installation was truly successful. Was I overthinnking the problem? Is there even a problem? Aaaagghghgh!!!!!!

Ahhh!!!! OK, that makes a ton of sense. I checked the PATH environment variable and see what you're talking about.
This kind of leads to a follow up question . If I do a
php -v
and I get back some information about some version of php installed at some path referenced in the environment variable, how can I tell what path OS X found the php command in? Is there any way to say, "Hey, computer, tell me where you think php is located." Because there are seven or eight paths I could search in, but it seems like a trivial matter for the computer to just tell me where it's looking, rather than me hunting for the command file.
It also seems that fink has installed /sw paths into my environment variable for me and that my apache httpd command is located in one of these but my new installation of php5 is not. That's really what was tripping me up was that I hadn't modified the environment variable for $PATH myself and some things were reporting properlly and others were not. Fink did most of the work I expected, but not all, leading to a confusing version report.

Dell Vostro and iTunes [+media control buttons]

Hi everybody!
Well, I have a Dell Vostro 1310 laptop.
It has media control buttons, as you can see in these images:
http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=moto0388ha4.jpg
http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=moto0389iu3.jpg
http://img91.imageshack.us/my.php?image=moto0390ep2.jpg
The fact is: the control buttons work properly IF, and only IF, iTunes is the active window.
If it is not, they simply don't work.
Is there anything I can do to solve it?

Hi espectral,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I'm fairly sure you'd need dedicated software to interface with the keyboard and iTunes, most often 'media' keys only work by coicidence. Therefore, you'd need software from Dell (or other 3rd party software to link iTunes to the keyboard.)
I don't think Dell specifically support Apple Software, but I know some other brands like Logitech do.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Peter.

I installed the new version of IMovie and it took control of my camera, how do I get it to run on my old version again?

I installed the newer version of Imovie 10.0.1 and it took control from my camera so that I can not record my image on the older version imovie 8.0.6 which I enjoy using. How can I retrive the camera from the newer system?

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

HT204266 I used several apple and iTunes gift cards on my account with relevant codes. How can I verify all cards have been used when total purchases don't line up?

I have used several apple app and itunes gift cards to purchase apps and music with no problem. Codes were entered as required. Is it possible to get a printout of the card amount and codes to check against purchases. My total is not jiving.

No, you can't see a list of card redemptions, nor how items were billed - all you can do is view your account's purchase history via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.

My computer won't sync with my iPhone all of the sudden.. iPhoto and iTunes, My computer won't sync with my iPhone all of the sudden.. iPhoto and iTunes

i try to unplug and re plug and my iphoto says theres no pics to upload and calls it "apple iphone" when my iphone has a name and itunes says"the iphone'___my name____'s iphone' could not sync because the sync session failed to start."
it just started doing this today.. i dont want to restore my phone because i will lose my pictures..

Sometimes resetting the phone and rebooting your computer will fix this. Reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. You will not lose any data doing this. Now reboot your computer and try syncing again.

Turned my iphone 4 off now I turned it on again and stuck on apple logo, after this i put it in recovery mode but it failed and itunes says there is something wrong with my iphone any ideas

My iphone 4 stuck on the apple logo then it wont work in recovery mode. My iphone then wouldnt work in recovery mode, itunes said there is something wrong with my iphone. On my iphone it says connected to itunes any ideas what could be wrong

You might have to get it serviced, or visit an Apple Store to get it looked at.

Control click to "open with"

Can anyone shed light as to where to find the file that contains the list of applications that come up when you Control Click an icon and select Open With?
When I do this I get a list with dozens of seemingly inappropriate and irrelevant apps (including .exe apps from who knows where). Can this list be edited?

Do you or did you have a Windows drive connected to your machine or are you running Windows on it?
If so that would explain spotlight finding those exe files.
If you do, be sure you have them excluded from spotlight search and then follow VK's instructions.

Multiple Airport Express Units and Itunes

I have two Airport Express units, each is hooked up to a seperate stereo in the house. I tunes will connect with one or the other, but not both Airport Express units at the same time.
When selecting multiple speakers from the drop down box...the following error message is encountered..."The remote speaker "xxxx" does not support playback as a part of a group. Do you want to switch playback to it?"
Any help would be appreciated...when this is complete, the system will be doing exactly what I want.

The three most common problems encountered with mutiple AX's:
Itunes software (need 6.02 or better)
AX firmware (need 6.3)
Firewall (you must ALLOW UDP traffic)
If all these items are met then usually what remains is configuration and/or a range problem. Since it sounds as though it works singularly, range is not the issue. Check the three most common and if they are right you are left with re-configuring the network or possibly (but unlikely based on the post) a bad unit.
