No QT icon in Sys Pref for QT Pro registration codes

New Macbook Pro, no QT icon in Sys Pref for entry of registration codes.  Need to flip mirrored Photo Booth vids and was told QT Pro was only way to do it.  Regardless, need to get icon in sys pref for reg codes.  Thks

There is none in Mac OS X 10.6 and newer. You're supposed to use this download, open the older player, and apply the key there.

  • What are Sys Prefs for View desktop on TV monitor

    I have the cable connected to the computer and a flat screed TV.
    i get the startup display on the monitor, the mouse tracks and the screen saver works but the screen saver pictures are not the same.
    I cannot get the computer desktop on the TV monitor so that I can use the computer super drive as a DVD player to watch a movie.
    Is there a specific setup fot the system preferences?

    I am assuming you have a mini-displayport/thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and of course a HDMI cable.
    Set the TV to the input you connected the HDMI cable to.
    On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection.  Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection. Check your cables and make sure the mini-displayport plug is pushed firmly in so that essentially all the metal part disappears inside the socket.  Mini-displayport plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in their socket.
    If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image.  Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p).  Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown.  You should see a picture at this point.  I  recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled (more about this below).
    You may have to play with the underscan/overscan settings on your TV and the displays prefs for the TV if the picture is too small or larger for the TV screen.
    Also, you need to set your Sound preferences to output to the HDMI connection.  If the MBP doesn't support audio through the mini-displayport then you will need to connect your stereo audio out to your TV (3.5 mm  stereo jack for the compter to usually RCA jacks on the TV).
    Arrangements, Menu Bar, Extended Displays, and Mirrored Displays
    When you have multiple monitors (and the TV is considered just a monitor) only one monitor is designated as the "main" monitor.  That's the one with the menu bar.
    If you look at the Arrangement tab in your Displays preferences you will see both monitors.  One will have a little white "menu bar" on it.  That's your main monitor.  You can drag the little menu bar to the other monitor if you wish to make it the main monitor.
    You cannot make both monitors main monitors.  However there is a third party app called MenuEverywhere that allows you to do that (it has mixed reviews).
    Your two monitors can be spatially arranged with the Arrangement in Displays as well.  Drag the monitors around each other to define their relationship.  Then you can drag the mouse or windows across with in that "space".  This is extended desktop mode and I recommend that to be able to use all the available screen real estate.  However there is a checkbox in the Arrangement to run in mirrored mode.  Now the two images are identical on both screens albeit the max screen size is determined by the smallest screen in the mirrored set.  You would of course have the menu bar on both screens since they are mirrors of each other.  But I think it's a waste of good screen real estate.

  • MBP is missing the "Display" icon in Sys Pref, Display PrefPane file needed

    Hi,
    I noticed that my "Display" icon under >Hardware, in the System Preferences is suddenly missing. It should be between "CDs & DVDs..." and "Energy Saver" icons. I think I need the Display Preferences Pane. Can anyone send me a copy, I don't have another Mac to copy it from (except a really old 10 yr imac running System 9). I don't know why it is missing, but I can't calibrate my display without it. The "display.prefpane" file is located under system>library>PreferencePanes. My email address is: melissa (at) melissatobiaart (Dot) com
    If anyone can send me a copy I would greatly appreciate it!

    The file is part of the OS X system therefore it's proprietary to Apple. Furthermore, it's a violation of the Apple Software License to install OS X on more than one CPU at a time (for a single-licensed copy. The Family Pack allows up to five concurrent installations.)
    As the AD belongs to Apple it would be against the Terms of Use for us to enable any of the above. Thus, it's both inappropriate to ask as well as to send.
    That's my interpretation of the software license. You may choose to interpret it differently or even ignore it, but such actions are best left off of the forums.
    I would be more than happy to inquire of the moderators and report back what they suggest.

  • Weird Speech Icon in Sys Prefs

    I've noticed that the icon for the speech settings in my sysem preferences is all weird. I've tried restarting, repairing permissions, and reinstalling the 10.4.6 combo updater but it's still the same odd icon. Here's what it looks like:

  • How Do You Get the Apple Trackpad Icon to Show Up in Sys Prefs?

    Just upgraded to 10.6.4, did all software updates, and bought the Trackpad. Trackpad works, but there is no icon for it in the Sys Prefs to make adjustments. Suggestions?
    Thanks
    Tom

    Thanks!
    Yeah I saw it last night on the Apple website, and ran to the Apple store today to get one, All Things Apple Fanboy that I am
    It really looks cool, and is very responsive as you would expect, but after decades with a mouse, will take some getting used to. I've been using it all evening and starting to feel a bit more comfortable with it. Quite a change though. I do love not having the space it saves in not having to move the mouse around....thanks again..

  • Lost sys prefs Icons

    I have lost most all of my correct Icons in my sys prefs. window.
    Is there a pref file that I can just trash and get them back or is it more serious ?
    did permissions so far.
    thanks
    OSX 10.4.11, G4 MDD.

    Go to the main level of your computer (not your user area but above that). Check System > Library > PreferencePanes Are the missing items to which those icons relate still there? If not then for some reason they are disappearing from your computer which is definitely reason for concern. Even their not appearing in your System Preferences window is an issue for concern but may be linked to other things.
    Boot from the installer disk, select language if applicable, choose utilities, run Disk Utility and verify (and repair if necessary) the drive. You can verify a drive from DU on your main drive while booted but I have found this can result in incorrect reporting of errors. To repair your drive you have to run it from a drive other than the boot drive anyway.
    Next, boot from your drive in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and repair permissions. You can repair permissions while booted from the installer disc but this uses the permissions configuration on the installer disc which may be out of date if you have run any updates on your computer. Booting your computer to Safe Mode restricts the number of things running on your computer while permissions are being run and done a bit of spring cleaning at the same time.

    From BDaqua (couldn't have said it better):
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes."

  • OS X Updates Avail Banner - How to stop, I don't want to install Mavericks.  Did Apple Sys Pref Notifications: None for iTunes, Safari, Mail but still popping up.  Thanks for any help.

    IMac Desktop computer >OS X Updates Avail Banner - How to stop?  I don't want to install Mavericks.  Did Apple>Sys Pref>Notifications: None for iTunes, Safari, Mail but Banner still popping up.  Thanks for any help.

    I have tried unchecking the "Automatically check for updates" in the Software Update control panel. Of course, then you have to remember to check manually periodically for security updates etc. So far, the annoying banners seem to have stopped, but maybe just because I have not waited long enough for them to come back.

  • Firewire HDD -recognised in sys pref but can't access

    how do i get access to this ext firewire drive?
    are there other issues that I should look for?

    Check the settings in the Finder's preferences, and whether the Disk Utility is able to see or repair the drive. If it still won't show up and doesn't need repair, click here and follow the instructions.

  • Hotkeys to bring up sys prefs?

    My Pismo screen flaked out & I'd like to mirror the screen to an external monitor. When I boot up the Powerbook & plug in the external monitor, I see only blank bg...no way to access the menubar (except blindly hunting around...which is futile).
    Is there a way (hotkey, keyboard menu navigation, etc) to bring up the System Prefs for display & turn on mirroring? Or get the menu bar over to the other monitor?
    Thanks,
    -G

    Thanks jpl,
    As I tried your first idea, I came up with a variation - used cmd-N to make a new Finder window, which had more area to blindly grab & drag over to the viewable part of the screen than the HD icon.
    At that point, it was easy to open the Sys Pref application & turn on mirroring.
    Thanks for the inspiration!

  • Help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

    help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. Make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
    7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. If not, the machine needs to be serviced. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/Audio
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • ITunes does not sync with sys.pref.

    Mac Pro. Mt. Lion, iTunes 11.0.2. When I insert music CD iTunes does not launch. Started wiith last upd. for iTunes. All apps are greyed out
    in sys. pref. but not greyed out in main HD app folder.  hat to do to get all in sync as before update?

    You don't say what exactly you moved.  You don't tell iTunes to use a previous library with preferences, you do it by holding down the option/alt key while starting iTunes and guiding it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder you want to use.  A library is everything in the iTunes folder.  Hopefully you copied the entire folder and not just the media files or else you will have to rebuild the library structure from scratch (and erase the phone).

  • In large PDF files my cursor moves around the page at warp speed. It does not seem to make any difference if I slow it down with Sys Prefs. This is not only in preview but also other programs to open PDFs.

    In large PDF files the cursor moves at warp speed with a mind of it's own, I've tried slowing it down in Sys Pref with no luck. On small files cursor action is normal. This happens in Safari, Preview and other programs that use PDF files. Sorry to say this does not seem to be a new problem with 7.# I've had it with prvevious versions of operating system Right now I'm using a Apple wireless mouse and key board. Using the USB keyboard and mouse the same problem does not go away.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • User accounts have disappeared from the Sys prefs and log-in screen!

    When upgrading to 10.4 from 10.3, I used Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable copy of my hard disk to an external (La Cie) drive. After performing an erase and install, the Migration Assistant would not recognize the installation on the external drive. After numerous attempts, I finally re-entered all my settings and transferred most of my files by hand into the new OS. Everything seemed to be fine until I attempted to update the user settings on one of the standard accounts. When I went to the Limitations window for this account in System Preferences the computer froze completely, necessitating a forced shutdown. When I rebooted, the account I was modifying had disappeared from the log-in screen. When I attempted to restore it in Sys Prefs, the Accounts window was blank, and clicking on the resulting items in a Spotlight search gets a preferences error message. I repaired the disk and the permissions with Disk Utility to no avail, and DiskWarrior says the directory is too damaged to rebuild. I re-installed Tiger using archive and install, also with no success. I can log in as Root and access all data, including all user accounts, but still no user accounts in the log-in window or sys prepfs. Does anyone have any thoughts on this before I (aauuugghhh) erase and install again? Any idea why the Migration Asst. can't see the clone? Did I move something into the new OS I shouldn't have?

    When upgrading to 10.4 from 10.3, I used Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable copy of my hard disk to an external (La Cie) drive.
    Did you boot into the clone to ensure that it was working just like the original? If so, can you still do that? If so, I'd boot into the clone, use Disk Utility to erase and reformat the internal HD. Then, clone the clone to the original and install Tiger on top of it using the upgrade earlier version option. Then, you won't have to change or migrate anything. IMHO, it's the best way to do it.

  • System prefs for kids- Question

    I have just created a user account with parental settings for my young child learning to read/write. without giving his account admin privileges, can I, as admin, create specific system prefs like a larger pointer and slower mouse/trackpad settings that work only on his account? I don't want to have to constantly go in ad set them back after every time he uses the computer. If not, Is there a quick way to toggle on/off of universal access?

    thanks for the fast reply, however I am now experiencing even more problems.(not your fault, mine) It seems no matter how i set up the account ( simple finder or not) I cant block system prefs, and show the apps I want shown. Currently have prenatal monitoring on for the new(kids) account, and specified per the checkboxes what i want to give him access to. When i log out of my admin account and into his (Managed with parental controls) every thing is still accessible. I have also went into sys prefs and made sure that parental monitoring is turned on for that account. I never thought it would be so hard to do this
