[OT] Re-authorize Quicktime Pro after new install

Hi there,
I just had my Mother Board changed. I successfully re-authorized Logic, but Quicktime Pro is not authorized any more. Logic Studio serial number doesn't work as a Quicktime Pro key. What is the process to get the Pro functions back, since Quicktime Pro activation should be included in Logic Studio?
Thanks.

Finally, after using Final Cut Express, Quicktime was re-authorized automatically.

My Apple TV is not mirroring my Macbook Pro after I installed OS X Mavericks

My Apple TV is not mirroring my Macbook Pro after I installed OX X Mavericks?

Installing Maverick does not change the hardware requirements.
Did it work prior to installing Maverick?
Does the device meet the hardware requirements?
Supported Macs
AirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Hardware video encoding allows AirPlay Mirroring to efficiently deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models have processors that support AirPlay Mirroring:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)

Can I run a windows software program taht is on a CD on my macbook pro after I install bootcamp and windows xp home?

Can I run a windows software program that is on a CD on my macbook pro after I install bootcamp and windows xp home?

genepaquin,
the last MacBook Pros that supported installing Windows XP in a Boot Camp partition are the Mid 2010 models. If your MacBook Pro is newer than that, and you don’t have a newer version of Windows to install into a Boot Camp partition on your MacBook Pro, then you might consider an alternative such as running Windows with the help of programs such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop rather than through Boot Camp.

Installing Quicktime Pro on New Computer

I purchased Quicktime Pro through the online Apple store several months ago. I recently bought a new computer (Windows 8 PC) and downloaded Quicktime, but now only have the basic, free version. How do I get my Pro version installed on this computer?

Log in at the Apple Store using the ID used in the purchase and then into your account page to view order history up to the last 18 months.

Premiere Pro 2014 new install - can't queue exports to AME

I just installed the new 2014 applications today. Whenever I try to export media by sending it from Premiere Pro to AME it never gets there. The app launches but the job never shows in the queue (even after a very long wait). This process has worked fine for me with the CC apps Premiere/AME until this new install. Also, if I Queue a file while checking "Match Sequence Settings" it works as expected. And, if I directly export from the Export settings dialogue in Premiere, it works fine, even for customized settings (like quicktime/h.264). But, I can't do that using AME.
Not sure if this is an install issue, an AME issue, or related to the permissions issue I had when installing Premiere (had to change permission settings in the Application Support/Adobe folder.
Suggestions?

By the way, the tech support phone call did the trick. The person on the phone had me delete the old prefs folder and start with an entirely new one. That did the trick. He said it was likely an issue with the dynamic link manager and permissions.

Why does time machine make a second/different backup after new installing a hard drive?

Hi all,
Long time reader, first time poster...
after having to install a new hard drive on my MacBook Pro, the new Time Machine backups are not recognising the original/older backups on the external hard drive connected via network router and has created a new/second backup caller 'xxx Mac Book Pro 1' instead of updating/reading the orginal 'xxx Mac Book Pro backup'?
Does anyone know why it did this? and more importantly how do i make it recgonise the original and stop making the secondary copy?
Thanks!

Uninstall quicktime pro and re-install

I have a problem with FCP quitting "unexpectedly" every time I try to export a H264 file, regardless of the original timeline codec.
I downloaded a program which analyzes the error logs and IT thinks it is QuickTime that is causing the "quits"
So my goal here is to remove quicktime and re-install.
Is there a way to do this short of reinstalling FCP completely?

Quicktime is not likely to be the problem, regardless of your IT wonks' opinions.
But if you're dead set on the attempt, try google for starters. This is hopelessly out of date but might help:

Another possible culprit of your Final Cut Pro problems could be an issue with QuickTime, which is a major component to the workings of Final Cut Pro. One problem could stem from a bad installation (update) of QuickTime. Another reason to re-install QuickTime is if the current version is not compatible with the version of Final Cut Pro you are running and if you need to install an earlier version of QuickTime. The instructions next cover both scenarios.
1. Before installing the same (or older) version of QuickTime on your computer, you will want to delete certain receipt files first. This Apple article covers which files to delete: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
2. Then navigate to your user Home directory > Library > Preferences.
3. Delete these QuickTime preference files:
com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist
QuickTime Preferences
4. Repair permissions on your main hard drive.
5. Install QuickTime from Software Update or by downloading it from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mac.html . For an older version of QuickTime, go to http://www.apple.com/support/ and do a search for the particular version you are looking for.
6. After the install and subsequent computer restart, repair permissions again.
Try this:

Can't open Logic Pro after having installed Mountain Lion

After having installed Mountain Lion I can't find Logic Pro (the latest version) back in my programs. I do still find all of my sessions. Trying to open a session a "Basic Content Download" starts. Just before the end of the download the computer asks for my password. After I've typed it and pressed enter the download stops.
This means I can't open any of my sessions.
What should I do?
Thanks for any advice.

If you used the Mountain Lion installer it will have "migrated" your iWork software to the new system.
Unfortunately that doesn't always work properly. I had to reinstall mine from the original DVD.
If you can't find your DVD then you will have to purchase the iWork software individually from the Mac Store.
Just make sure to completely uninstall your existing iWork from your System first:

Please if anyone can help!

While I was updating the update manager said I need to close the ''Dynamic Link Media Server'' or something like that while the update manager was the only programm that was running, could something be going wrong there? Are there known problems with the dynamic link media server''?

IPhoto won't open after new install and restore of back-up

Hi guys
My hard drive just died (for the second time in 6 months!) so I have just gotten the computer back with a new drive. I did a new install of Tiger from my original install CDs, did the download thing to get all the updates, and ran a "restore" from my external drive using iBackup (http://www.grapefruit.ch/iBackup//index.html) to restore all my previous system settings, documents, etc. So far this seems to have worked well, a couple of 3rd party applications didn't re-install - specifically Neo Office and WiFind - but I was able to manually install those and everything seems to be working fine.
Except iPhoto. It won't open. When I click the dock icon it bounces once and does nothing. No little arrow under it or anything. Nothing at all happens when I click the icon in Finder (in the Applications folder). When I searched it in spotlight it told me there was a file called iphoto.crash.log, so I went and had a look at that hoping it would tell me the problem, but I don't understand it. I'm not particularly good at the behind the scenes stuff with computers.
Wondering what I should do now - if someone can perhaps interpret the log file and find the issue if that would help, or if I should uninstall and re-install iPhoto by itself (and if so, how?), or if there is something else that may be causing the issue. I noticed there are a few files relating to it when I search with spotlight but I don't know which of them might be relevant. I could post a screenshot if that is allowed, or post the log file if it would help?
Thanks in advance for any advice or help!
Regards,
Chloë

400 Updates???
Did you Repair Permissions before & after each one?
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Restore files from time machine after new install

In my office one of my iMac's suffered a complete system crash. I am reinstalling OS X Lion as I write this post. The iMac was backed up to an external hard drive using time machine. After the new install of Lion how do I grab my user files from the machine backup?
I appreciate in advance your help.

When you complete the installation and boot into the Setup Assistant use the opportunity to restore from a TM backup which will appear in the Assistant. Just have the backup drive connected. You can then restore from the most recent backups of your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences.
Restore will take a while, but when done just restart.
