New QT file is corrupt??

Just finished a 5min video for the web in QT, saved it to a flashdrive for my PC which is connected to INternet. But it won't open on my PC even though I have QT7.1, msg says file is corrupt and unreadable??
I used QT6.5 to create on my Mac and don't know why the PC won't read the file. I have to upload it to a website today and as usual, don't really know why it won't play on the PC.
The QT file plays perfectly on the Mac.

It has a .mov extension, odd thing is I went into the "play as" option and found 2 QT programs, I clicked on the 2nd one and the file played perfectly on my PC. Only thing I can think of is that two days ago I upgraded my PC from QT6.5 to QT 7.1.
Other than that, I'm not sure why I'd have 2 QT programs. Does the new QT 7.1 play 6.5 but not the other way around??

I had to install a new hard drive because my old hard drives boot files became corrupted, and i want to get all of my music files off the old hard drive and regain all my play counts/ratings/playlists

Greetings everyone
as the title says, ive had to install a new hard drive and i want to transfer my old itunes library onto the new drive, maintaining all playlists/play counts/ratings etc, album artwork if possible. The old hard drive is installed as a slave drive and is completely acessible, but due to the boot files being corrupted i cannot use it as the main drive and therefore operate my old itunes. Also, my ipod no longer contains my music library as itunes synced without my permission and wiped it.
The only thing i have tried is copying all of my old music files from the old drive by selecting 'add folder to library' and then the old drive, then replacing the new itunes library.itl file with the one from my old itunes. This restores all my playlists and playcounts but when i try to play any of the songs it says that the files could not be found, and i dont fancy locating 8500 music files individually!
Thankyou for taking the time to read my post, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ah, my reply was based on the assumption that you had a default installation of iTunes.
i.e you had all your music in the iTunes media folder inside your iTunes folder.
If your iTunes folder is so small compared to the amount of music you have, you must have a different arrangement.
This complicates you situation considerably.
iTunes can cope with moving around as long as all the music is in the iTunes media folder, not not if it isn't.
Your first step should be to get iTunes working on the old drive. This will involve editing the xml library file so that the drive letter is correct and then rebuilding the library from the xml file.
Then you will need to consolidate your library which moves everything into the iTunes media fodler. After that you will be able to use my first suggestion.
Step 1
Find the iTunes folder on the old drive and copy the two library files somewhere else so you can find them again. That's iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml.
Now open the copy of iTunes Library.xml with WordPad.
Look for lines starting:
Location
These contain the paths to tracks.
You will need to use a find/replace to change the drive letter so that it is correct.
Make sure that you include enough in the "find" so that you only change the right thing.
Maybe /c:/ and replace with /d:/ or whatever.
After that, tell iTunes to use the library on the old drive with a shift key start.
Hold down the shift key and start iTunes, keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose a library. Navigate to the iTunes folder on the old drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
Then use the method in the following article to rebuild your library;
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
Unfortunately the date added will be today for all tracks.
If iTunes works correctly after this, consolidate your library
File>>Library>>Organize>>consolidate
This copies all tracks into to iTunes media folder and could create a problem if you do not have disk space so don't do it if you are unsure about free disk space.
Check that iTunes works OK and then use the first method.

I can't download firefox. When I click on run, I get a window saying that the author is unknown. When I click on run in the new window, another window says the file is corrupt. What can I do about this?

I want to have firefox as my default browser. As this is a new laptop, I hasve to download firefox. As per the instructions, I click on "run" to complete the download, but instead of completing the download, a window appears which says that the author is unknown. If I ignore the window and click on run, I get another window which says the file is corrupt and I can't finish the download and have firefox as my browser.
I have windows 7 and explorer is the default browser and I want to change to firefox, but so far am being prevented from doing so. How can I successfully download firefox?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

New Text File Action Does Not Output Correctly (Corrupts)

I posted this in here by accident. I reposted it in the 10.5 Automator forum...
I have a simple automator script that uses "Get Specified Text" that contains some arbitrary shell script text, and I pass that to "New Text File" which has the location selected from a variable called "Temporary path" of value "/tmp". The output of 'New Text File" will not contain the text I specified. Here are steps to recreate:
New automator script
Get specified text action with the following text:
#!/bin/sh
cd "`dirname \"$0\"`"
if [ true ]; then
echo 1
fi
New variable called "Temporary path" with the value "/tmp"
New text file action
--- Save as: test.txt
--- Where: "Temporary path" (drag Temporary path to the drop down box)
--- Replace existing file: checked
I run the script. New text file result shows "/private/tmp/test.txt". Then from the "Terminal" I try to view it ("cat /tmp/test.txt") and the contents are:
if [ true ]; then\"`"
fi echo 1
So the specified text was corrupted. If I create the new file in Desktop or Documents (tried those) it works correctly. What is so special about /tmp? Is there a reason why this shouldn't work?
Regards,
John

Alas, my example does work... In hopes of narrowing the problem I tried to narrow the text.
Anyway below is the full "script" that I'm trying to write to the file that does not work, although if you copy it from here directly, it does work. So to reproduce, I can copy it from here to TextWrangler (that will fix the extra blank lines) then from TextWranger to Automator and the issues remains. The result of "Get specified text" looks correct, but the output still is not.

Downloaded new itunes...corrupted file

I tried to download the new 6.0.5 itunes version and it downloaded completely and asked if i wanted to run the program. i clicked run and it loaded a bar that said itunes + quicktime but when it finished loading it said that the file was corrupt and that i needed to download a fresh copy. I delete the file from my computer and try redownloading. this time it takes seconds because it was loaded once before. Still i get the same message that it is a corrupt file and that i need to load a fresh copy...how can i get it to work?

Well, before installing a new download, you would
probably need to uninstall the old version at this
point, or it will probably continue to give you the
corrupt file message.
if you have issues in uninstalling and reinstalling,
try some of the things in this link...

When I try to update or download a newer version I get a box that says file is corrupt, why?

Everytime I try to download a newer version of Mozzilla Firefox it starts to download, then displays a run box, and when you push the run button, a box appears and says file is corrupt. I recently installed windows 7 and I have slow internet.

Any apps that she downloaded onto the device are tied to her apple ID. They cannot be transferred to another account. To update those apps, you would either need her password, or you could delete the apps and download them using your own apple id.

I am new at this. Cannot send out pdf's from my computer. They receive message that says "cannot open this file" or corrupted file. I can receive just fine. Any suggestions?

Everytime I try to send out a pdf file, on the receiving end it shows they cannot open it or it shows corrupted. I send to large companies so I know it is not on their end. I can receive them fine. Don't know if this could be an adobe issue or a Norton's issue. Any ideas I can check out?

Print>Save as PDF - uses Preview (part of OS X), so Adobe Reader should have no effect on that at all.
As to the "damaged file" error, simply uninstalling the Reader app won't affect it. Do the following:
Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Mac HD/Applications
Trash the Adobe Reader app
[user]/Library/Preferences
Trash the com.adobe.Reader.plist file
To access the [user]/Library, hold the "Option" key and click "Go" from the FInder menu.
Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Reader folder (the whole folder)
Empty the Trash.
Download the FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Quit your browser and reinstall Reader.
Launch it from the Applications folder and accept the license agreement.
You should have no problems downloading PDFs with Safari.
Unfortunately, ANY PDF that says it's damaged.... is. You'll have to trash them.

Corrupted New Transformation File - IFRS_SP1

We're running IFRS_SP1
When selecting 'New Transformation File' we get the following corrupted file. When doing the same thing in a different environment the correct template for a new transformation file is displayed.
When running UJA_DATA_CHECKER for the IFRS_SP1 the folloiwng warnings are displayed:
The concern we have is that later down line ther could be additioonal issues which we may not be aware of at this stage causing re-work or even worse having to strat over.
Any advice or assistance, please.

Thank you for the reply,
The basis team did the install again, we still got the same issues. Upon further investigation an additional note had to be applied, this has corrected the errors.
It looks much better now.

New itunes download says file is corrupt and to reinstall

I KNEW I shouldn't upgrade, but I've been getting the notice to upgrade my iTunes for so long I finally went ahead...Well, since I did it over an hour ago I've been getting pop ups (I mean like a hundred of them by now) telling me that the copy of iTunes is corrupt or installed incorrectly and to re-install it. I know NOTHING about all this stuff, but I imagine I'm getting that pop up every time it runs into what it considers a corrupt file.
I have music and covers that I've downloaded to computer then transfered them to my iPod (can you tell I know nothing? I suspect I'm using all the wrong words), PLUS tons and tons of pictures and videos and I'm pretty sure the videos, and even some pictures I've edited, are being considered to be corrupt. So it could be a huge number of files that it's seeing as corrupt.
I'm afraid to re-install iTunes, and I'm afraid to remove it for fear of losing my pictures and videos from my computer. Is that possible? The pictures and videos are in My Pictures on my computer.
The problem could also be the covers I've downloaded--through iTunes, mind you.
My questions, to boil it down, I think are:
What will I lose if I uninstall iTunes and reinstall it? Will I lose what's in my computer, or just what's been downloaded to the iPod?
How can I find which files are corrupt, and once (if) I find them, can I just remove them from iTunes but leave them on my computer?
I hope this all makes sense. If it doesn't, please ask me and I'll try to clarify. Really appreciate any help you can offer.

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

How do I install a new system file to replace the damaged one

'the preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings' - cs4 Mac

greetings!
every time i start illustrator i encounter a new error.
"the preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings."
"the corrupt file will be backed up as Adobe illustrator Prefs.err"
this problem manifested after i added some more .ai and .ase files to my swatches directory. i do not believe anything else changed.
not sure how to diagnose the problem. is there a debug mode or something? perhaps an offending file.
an option would be to try remove each added swatch file or folder individually, but this would be a very very time consuming process for me.
i use cs4 on a Macbook pro running Snow Leopard - 10.6.2 and would appreciate your advice.
thank you

s,
Every time you close down Illy, the current preferences (which may have been changed while you worked on files) are saved, and every time you start up Illy, those preferences will be used.
Usually, preference corruption probably occurs randomly, caused by the OS, but if something in your files change the preferences to something that is not viable you will get an error like that.
You may press Cmd+Option+Shift during startup, which will replace the current preferences with the defaults, and probably you will get rid of the error message. It is probably not a cure, though.
If the error is persistent, the cure would be to get rid of the offending things in the files you work with.

I'm trying to restore my phone from back up but am being told the file is corrupt or incompatable with the device, but it's the only device I have! Am quite desperate as I lost all my photos and have no idea where they went or how to get them back.

I was trying to copy the photos from my iphone onto my laptop, had them selected and then the laptop froze. Was also doing a software update on iphone (which I thoughi had finished). When I went back to the phone the photos were gone. I was also unable to find them on the laptop :-( (they were all of my new little baby)
On trying to restore from previous backup, I got a message that the file was corrupt or not compatable with the current device, but I only have this phone to use and no other devices.
I am unable to find any appropriate help topics on apple support. Any advice would be really appreciated

Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.
