Problem with Quicktime controls and commands

I'm finding the best way to put a video together is to edit individual pieces with QT Pro. Problem is that it's pretty darned annoying because mouse and keyboard controls don't always work as they should.
Sometimes I'll press the space bar and instead of playing, the volume mutes/unmutes...there is a blue glow around the volume controls and until I click around and unlodge it somehow, it stays that way.
Other times, I'll click on the timeline and instead of the playhead moving to where I click, it will move forward a little bit....or it won't move at all.
And on top of that, I still haven't found solid documentation on when the playhead turns dark, as opposed to staying "hollow"...or whether or not that's relevant to the problem.
I've found plenty of resources that have shortcut keys listed, some of them "undocumented." But I feel as if I'm missing something...is there anything I can do to avoid these problems, or at least is there a rhyme or reason as to how they happen?
Thanks.

DVCPRO HD footage problems with Quicktime 10 and MacBook Pro

I am trying to open DVCPRO HD footage in Quicktime 10 on my computer and just get black screen with no video. Cannot get these files to play yet can get other ones to play, just not the DVCPRO HD footage shot with Panasonic P2 cards. I can play the same files in Quicktime 10 on other computers with Snow Lion and on my tower with Lion. These will just not work on my MacBook Pro 10.7.5 Everything is up to date. Can anybody trouble shoot this for me? HELP!

I have the same model as you with the same upgrades (8GB RAM, high-res screen) and began to experience similar problems around the same time as you. And like you, I managed to work around the problem with gfxCardStatus for awhile. It was less than ideal though, since my email client, for example, uses the discrete graphics card. After a week or two, the problem got worse and my computer became virtually unusable. The screen would start to flicker at the log-in prompt, forcing me to reboot again. I could only make it to my desktop 1 time out of 10, if that. The Apple Hardware Test (both regular and extended) revealed no problems. I removed some software that I had installed the day before the problem started on the off chance that was the cause, but still it continued. I also tried to boot with a Linux LiveCD to verify that it was, in fact, a hardware issue and not software related, but never managed.
Finally, I brought the machine into my local Apple reseller (there are no Apple Stores where I live) for repairs. It was easy enough to demonstrate the issue, and they ended up replacing the motherboard, since that's the only way to replace the discrete graphics card. The turnaround time was about a week. All covered under the standard warranty (I don't have AppleCare). I've had my computer back for a couple of days now, and it's been running smoothly. No problems with the screen, and I feel confident enough to remove gfxCardStatus.
I hope you've managed to solve your problem by now. Even if your computer passes the Genius Bar hardware diagnostic tool, surely you should be able to demonstrate the issue to the technician and they'll see something is clearly wrong.

Problem with custom control and focus

I've a problem with the focus in a custom control that contains a TextField and some custom nodes.
If i create a form with some of these custom controls i'm not able to navigate through these fields by using the TAB key.
I've implemented a KeyEvent listener on the custom control and was able to grab the focus and forward it to the embedded TextField by calling requestFocus() on the TextField but the problem is that the TextField won't get rid of the focus anymore. Means if i press TAB the first embedded TextField will get the focus, after pressing TAB again the embedded TextField in the next custom control will get the focus AND the former focused TextField still got the focus!?
So i'm not able to remove the focus from an embeded TextField.
Any idea how to do this ?

Here you go, it contains the control, skin and behavior of the custom control, the css file and a test file that shows the problem...

Problems with remote control and user accounts - error 1759?

We're running:
-XP Pro SP2 clients with Zen SP1 IR3a agent, 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
-We are NOT running Middle Tier.
-Novell servers are running Netware 6.5 SP7, E-directory 8.7.3.10b or 8.8.
-Zen server is also SP1 IR3a.
We have no problem using remote control on workstation objects. We are having intermittent issues with remote controlling user objects. When the issue occurs, we receive the following error, "Error 1759: The selected user is not logged in on any workstations" even though the user is in fact logged in. After some more research, it appears that the "networkAddress" attribute of the user object is blank so we feel that this is the root cause. My question is what would cause the networkAddress attribute to randomly not update? For instance we had a user (verified his login) who we could not remote via the user object (workstation object worked). We checked his networkAddress attribute and found that it was empty. User rebooted and logged in again and his networkAddress attribute populated, and then we could remote control him via the user object. Now this isn't always the case after a reboot. There doesn't appear to be any pattern to when the networkAddress attribute does or does not update. In fact, this particular user has a laptop so he boots it up fresh every morning yet he was not showing a network address when he logged in initially today.
We've followed the troubleshooting steps in Novell Documentation without any success. Is there anything else that we might be missing, especially with respect to getting the networkAddress attribute to update? We ran a DSreport on that attribute and found about 500 out of a total of 1500 users had no networkAddress. Some of those are sure to be legitimate but that number is much too high for the number of people that should be in the office.
I've read some older threads on the subject but none of them really provide a firm solution. Also most of the older threads reference Middle Tier which we are not using.
Thanks in advance.

> 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
You could try this TID:
"A user will no longer have an entry in their "Network Address" attribute
even though they are logged into the eDirectory Tree."
http://www.novell.com/support/viewCo...1262&sliceId=1
"Resolution"
"This was fixed in the 4.91 SP3 client. NWFS.SYS was modified so that it
will check the monitor connection on a reconnect and if it is not connected
close the connection and try and get a new monitor connection to the tree.
Prior to the 4.91 SP3 client, the solution is to have the user login again
so that it issues the NDS Finish Login request again that will populate
Network Address again."

Problem with remote control and Windows 7 - HP Pavilion 6301eu

I installed Windows 7 32-bit and my remote control does not work. I have tried all possible drivers and still nothing ... Photo driver attached. Does anyone have a link to the current drivers for the remote control and Windows 7? thank you

Hi John:
Thanks but, I had already done this. I was having THAT problem with Encore (could not even initialize before tanking) when I first installed it and that's when I updated the Roxio engine. I don't know what else there is to update or correct at this point.
There was one thing that occurred to me: When I was using XP, I had to disable Open GL in order to get Encore to stabilize. I've heard one recommendation for Encore that one must disable graphics acceleration. I would like try that here except I can't figure out how to do that in Windows 7.
I've been Googling "Windows 7 Disable Graphics Accel" and have come up with nothing useful.
Thanks for your help though and if you have any other ideas, I'm all ears.

Problem with Quicktime 7 and Vista Business

I am trying to run Windows vista business with Quicktime 7 Latest and can not run. I get this dialog box
saying
Quicktime player requires windows 200 or later
please make sure compatibility mode is disable in the compativility tab of the properties for QuickTimePlayer.exe
I did try to change compatibility to set as Windows XP SP 2
but that did not make a diference I am still in trouble.
I did unistall the program and installed again but still the same problem. Please I need help! Thanks!

Thanks for the answer. It seems I left some other check boxes from the compativility menu on. So I realize I was running iTunes without problems so I uninstall Itunes and quicktime and did a full install of both and then it worked.
My problem was that I try to upgrade quicktime to quicktime pro and when I click on the quicktime player icon nothing will come up but if I drop a file on the icon it actually opens the file. Anyway the problem is solve. but is not intuitive to me that when you double click on the quicktime player icon nothing will happen.

Types problem with rowset control and generated pageflow

Hello,
I made a rowset control from a flat table. Some of the columns where DATE type.
In the associated pageflow, it generated a Databaseform bean and for the dates, it used a timestamp type.
Which format should I use in the input of the form field ??
each time i submit, the value in the action form is null ...
what to do ? what should I modify in the rowset control, if I want to deal with string values til the real insert ?
Thank you indeed

Problem with quicktime again and Safari - part II

1. Move this file onto your Desktop and then quit Safari (via File -> Quit) and restart Safari:
Hard drive -> Library -> Internet Plug-Ins -> QuickTimePlugin.webplugin
This was the solution some months ago for Quicktime stops working under Safari.
Now the "Quicktime symbol with the question mark" returned to Safari and I don´t have the "QuickTimePlugin.webplugin" file to trash. Just one called "QuickTime Plugin.plugin".
Any help. please

I have both. BTW, for whatever reason, I posted the wrong link. Use http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923 AFAICT, the webplugin's no longer needed.

Since upgrading to Lion I have Quicktime problems, it will not let me export files to iTunes, it is telling me file maybe damaged this is with wmv and quicktime formats, I also have problems with quicktime freezing and no sound on some files

Anyone got any ideas?

OK, I did as you suggested, the first step didn't seem to do anything, I selected to download it said immediatly "thankyou for downloading" but didn't ask permission as normal downloads do and it was also instantanious, no download time waited.
So I went onto the second step, downloaded and ran the free trial, showed lots of errors as I'd expect something selling a service to do. I have no idea what the registry does but am wary not to mess with it as if its damaged it makes things very very difficult. I don't know what to do with the results on that one. The messages all seem the same:
The Default Value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/App paths/Your App exe contains an invalid path...etc and then goes on to specify a file or someters and numbers and semi colons. There are 388 like this. Again, I have no idea what to do with that information or how essential a registry clean is. About 5 years ago I had a Sony Ericsson mobile which would not transfer pictures to my computer. I called Sony up and they did a registry clean for me. It did nothing, I was still unable to transfer pictures and made a mental not to never ever get another Sony Ericsson handset. I can't help feeling a sense od deja-vu with this so am reluctant to do anything to the registry unless someone is there to pick up the peices on the other end as I can't just afford to go out purchase another computer hard drive.
Then I went back, re-downloaded the itunes again, this time it did actually try to download something.
I got an error message:
Error writing to file: C:/Config.Msi\2b8263.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory
To which I said I did and to "retry"
It seemed to download fine! I have no idea what was different this time. Nothing I did was any different other then going from your link rather then the pop-up link I normally get. Maybe its just better to use a different link?
Thanks again!

Problem with m3u files and Quicktime

Hello:
I have made one update with Quicktime software (version 7.6.9 1680.9). The problem is that Quicktime player reproduces mp3 files but when I try to play m3u files the sound is very bad. It sounds like gargling.
For example: This files play ok:
http://www.telefonica.net/web2/sevarra/Sarabande.mp3
It plays ok when the previous link is introduced as URL address in Quicktime player, but the corresponding m3u files sounds like gargling
http://www.telefonica.net/web2/sevarra/list0.m3u
I think there a problem with m3u files and Quicktime.
Tank you very much and best regards.

I have discovered that when the URL is playing (with gargling sound) if I open the A/V controls in QT menus and I move the Jog Shuttle or the Speed level then the sound becomes good.
Yes! Great catch, ttfrank. I can replicate that too.
Interesting ... if (after getting the sound working properly again) you then pause play of the m3u, and start it again, you get the gargling/dalekish sound quality back again.
Bug reporting ... there's a couple of ways you can go about doing this. You can use the QuickTime product feedback form:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/quicktime.html
... but if you want to track progress on the bug, try instead registering as an Apple Developer (for free):
http://developer.apple.com/programs/register/
... and then you'll be able to submit the bug via the Apple Bug Reporter:
http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/
In the meantime, there's also a restricted forum available to level 4 and 5 members ("Notable New Technical Issues") where we can report this sort of thing. I'll try to get a post written up on the topic there later today.

STILL no real answer to problems with QuickTime and Flash Player

The reply to Problems with QuickTime really didn't answer or solve the basic problem. Some sites to work at all require you to have working Flash Player 8 so when I try to use these sites I get the QuickTime logo with a question mark and then nothing. For all you experts on Apple and Mac; what is going on? Apple is the parent of QuickTime and I assume they want their customers happy with their work. So why is it so hard for these apparently small updates to their programs causing entire sites being blocked off? I have OS x 10.3.9 on a G4 iMac 855mHrz .... It seems that even though we, the customer by default become Apples program testers;the actual programers are never given the go ahead to actualy look at these problem posts. Has anyone ever gotten a solution for a problem they posted here from one of the programmers of the product? It would be nice to know we aren't left to our own devices when it comes to program gliches from the source. If the powers that be in apple are watching and willing to help; any time now is a good time to just but in on the conversation and help solve some of the problems us little people keep on running into.--------------
While online I run into sites that will NOT work without Flash Player 8 (which costs over $150.00) which is told to the viewer with a QuickTime logo with a question mark in it.
This leads the web surfer to try to upgrade or at least investigate Flash Player in their computer and it's version.When said web surfer looks at Flash player upgrade for bucks and the fact that in some way it is tied to QuickTime, web surfer gets real curious. Do the web masters for those sites know that their site is now blocked off? If any major portion ( say 30 or 40 % ) of the web surfing crowd is required to purchase an upgrade to Flash Player even though it doesn't look like Apple is the parent of said Flash Player; those web masters are going to be upset with Apple. Their income is tied to actuall access and browsing of a site, even if it is only to actually just get the Home page. With no access to the site due to no Flash Player 8, the web master is going to find those all important Hits going down to nil. -------
This post is way to broad for any one answer so I don't really expect one. But for you people who have run into similar problems with other programs and sites; I would love to hear if you got any help from other web surfers or from the parent people of those programs and/or sites. I know that my isp earthlink has helped out with problems faster than other groups involved. Anyway.. Any help or comment on this post ( or gripe if you prefer ) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry, but you are completely misinformed. Flash Player 8 doesn't cost one red cent; it's only the Flash creation package that you have to pay for. You can download the free Flash Player 8 here.
QuickTime can natively handle some Flash content, which is why with the lack of the Flash player the browser defaults to the QT plugin. But Flash 8 is a relatively new format from Macromedia and I'm not sure QT supports it yet. Install the Flash 8 player and things should work just fine.
And just FYI, for questions about the Mac version of QuickTime, you'll be better off asking them in the QuickTime for Mac forum.

Is there a problem with the itunes and quick time download pages or is it my internet.

Is there a problem with the itunes and quicktime download pages or is it just my internet.

Some more developments ... the issue appears to be browser-specific. I can't see the download controls at the moment in either IE 8 (I'll get your message) or Safari for Windows 5.0.5 (I'll just get the blank box). But I can see the download controls in Firefox 4 and Chrome (whatever version I have of that).
So it might be worth installing Firefox and seeing if you can get the downloads via that:

Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop

I'm surprised that there isn't an Active X control that can do this more
easily? Would
be curious to find out if there is - although we aren't really embracing the
use of
them within Forte because it locks you into the Microsoft arena.

Subject: Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop
I am just curious as to other people's experiences with the ListView
widget when elements in it are set to be draggable. In particular, I am
currently trying to design an interface that looks a lot like Windows
Explorer where a TreeView resides on the left side of the window and a
ListView resides on the right side. Upon double clicking on the
ListView, if the current node that was clicked on was a folder, then the
TreeView expands this folder and the contents are then displayed in the
ListView, otherwise, it was a file and it is brought up in Microsoft
Word. All this works great if I don't have the elements in the ListView
widget set to be draggable. If they are set to be draggable, then I am
finding that the DoubleClick event seems to get registered twice along
with the ObjectDrop event. This is not good because if I double click
and the current node is a folder, then it will expand this folder in the
TreeView, display the contents in the ListView, grab the node that is
now displayed where that node used to be displayed and run the events
for that as well. What this means, is that if this is a file, then Word
is just launched and no big deal. Unfortunately, if this happens to be
another directory, then the previous directory is dropped into this
current directory and a recursive copy gets performed, giving me one
heck of a deep directory tree for that folder.
Has anybody else seen this, or am I the only lucky one to experience.
If need be, I do have this exported in a .pex file if anybody needs to
look at it more closely.
Thanks in advance.

Problems with the richTextEditor and quotes

Hello
I'm having problems with quote chars and the richText
control's htmlText. When users enter quotes into the richTextEditor
control. The quotes breaks the HTML text, meaning it's no longer
well formatted. Is there an escape char that I need to use. Or do I
need to force some kind of refresh on the control prior to using
the htmlText string?

I have been using RTE in a content management system and
found a need to replace non-standard quote characters with proper
UTF-8 character counterparts. Curly quotes in particular are
problematic. Use a replace function to substitute non-standard for
standard characters.

I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

Hi David-
The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:
