QT playback delayed after upgrade to 10.6

Just upgraded MacPro Dual Quad to 10.6.
Ran all the updates - everything is current.
Something happened to QuickTime playback, both V10 and V7 Pro have problem playing regular mp4 or m4v files, same ones that my MacBook Pro with 10.6.2 plays just fine.
In short - click on Play button in QT 10, and nothing plays, after a while "application is not responding" will appear in Force Quit window.
Using QT 7 Pro is a bit better, but it takes about 5 seconds till it starts. Sometimes I get a rainbow ball till it start playing....
I ran Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner, then four utilities programs - Disk Utility, Drive Genius, TechTool Pro and Disk Warrior from MacBook while MacPro was in FW Target mode.
No luck.
Downloaded QT 7 to reinstall, but it doesn't let me as QT is "already installed on this drive." And would it help QT 10, that's another question.
I am not new to computers, but seems like a hit a wall.
Am I the only one "lucky" with this ot somebody else had this issue as well?
Any thoughts on what to do next?
Anything will be greatly appreciated!

Hello David,
Thank you for your reply!
I was not clear enough first time, sorry. QT 7 was installed originally during the 10.6 upgrade, I wanted to have it as I have QT Pro license and use its editing features. In my case, QT 7 had a bit less of delay then QT 10 Player. I wanted to reinstall QT 7 hoping it will wipe out some old prefs or other files that may be were left from 10.5... That's when I couldn't install it again, as it was already there.
At this point I crossed the threshold of patience and wiped everything clean.
I had a backup of 10.5.8 of this drive that I made right before 10.6 upgrade (which I recommend to anyone to do), and now I run my MacPro from that drive.
I installed 10.6 after I erased the main drive completely, and will reinstall all the apps and plugs again. It is a massive pain, as I have many audio plugins and video applications, but once it is done the result is usually worth the time and effort.
My friend at APPLE Store always tells me - upgrades are for those who has no patience or on the road Well time for me to have patience.
Thank you for reply - you were the only one out off thousands on this discussion board!
All the best!

  • Time Machine says Backup Delayed After Upgrading to Lion

    Time Machine says Backup Delayed After Upgrading to Lion on both my Macs. It backs up fine when ever I connect to the USB drive but now seems to want to back up hourly when before weekly was OK. When it does not compleye an hourly backup it reports a delayed backup - failure on both machines. How do it revert back to it reminding me to do weekly backups?

    I'm having the same issue with Time Machine on OS X Lion!
    According to this webpage:     http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/LionChanges.html
    Backups (i.e., Time Machine, SD, CCC, etc.) will only save the current "Version" of files.
    The above statement sounds like the issue @iJRB and myself are having after upgrading to Lion where Time Machine shows the following error message below within "System Preferences > Time Machine"
    @iJRB: Is this the error message you are seeing?

  • IPhone 4 Camera Autofocus Delay after Upgrade to iOS 5

    I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and now I noticed the camera auto focus is severly delayed, and constantly searching for focus.
    I compared it side by side with my son's iPhone 4 which I did not update to iOS 5 and there is a distinct difference in speed both in picture taking and video when it comes to focusing.
    Anybody else seeing this?
    Apple, can you please fix this, as it is now impossible to take a quick pict of my kids due to the constant focusing attempts.

    I just can;t beieve this, I would never have bought the phone if I knew updating it would make it unuseable for any
    thing other then complete novice use. I have done everything to make this work since the upgrade to IOS5 made the "bottom line" quality rubbish. Has anyone zoomed into the image and looked at the quality? If not check it out and you will see it is unuseable.
    I'm sick, I use the phone exclusivly for photographic applications and I've spent a fortune on specific photo apps and hardware, I'm a Beta tester for GoPano (360 video) and I wish I had never invested in the iPhone. If Apple can't get a basic thing like focus on the camera right after an upgrade then I don't want the phone..it's useless to me.
    Can anyone please let me know how I can get a refund on the phone, or who I talk to to cease ownership, as far as I'm concerned the phone dosen't work to it's specifications.
    Please reply as I feel like a fool for buying the iPhone 4. Can anyone tell me how to revert my phone to IOS4? It worked then, not fantastic, but it worked, Seems to me when you upgrade the op system that its ireversable.
    HELP PLEASE!

  • Music app doesn't remember last title or playback position after upgrading to iOS 8

    Hi!
    Since upgrading to iOS 8 (and now 8.1) Apples music app on the iPhone 6 won't remember which title it was playing or the playback position.
    I use to listen to music or audiobooks before going to sleep and I always set the timer to stop playing after some time. But when I get up in the morning and open the app again - it starts from scratch. I have to search for the title again and guess the time where I left off. This is really annoying and it worked just great in iOS 7.
    Anyone having the same problems?

    I went to the apple store to try to see if they could fix my i-pod. They were not aware of this problem. Did not know if any work around.  Said they would report it and it would be fixed with one of the next upgrades.  Did suggest I delete all books and music on my i-pod, since it is backed up on my computer and reload it.  That this may work...it did not.

  • Playback delay after creating in/out points

    Hi, I'm editing with Premiere CS6 on a 2008 Macbook pro in OSX 10.6.8.  I'm using Multi Camera Source Sequences (with two camera angles) and having an issue when setting In and Out points in the Source Monitor.  Playback works fine, but as soon as I set an in or out point, the playback immediately has a delay.  So the audio is completey out of sync with the video, by a large degree.  In fact, I can't even tell as it's so out of sync.  If I remove the in and out points, then playback returns to normal.  Any ideas as to what may be causing this issue?

    You need a Mac user to come along and give you better advice, but meanwhile, Goggle

  • Preparing Backup delay after upgrading to Mavericks

    Just upgraded to Mavericks. Time capsule/machine backup has been churning "preparing backup...." for quite awhile now.
    Is this normal?

    The first backup after a major upgrade will be a very big one. And it has to check all the files in the existing backup with what is now on the hard disk.. if you use wireless.. this will take a biblical period of time.. an age, plus 2 ages plus half an age.
    Use ethernet at least.
    Almost easier I think to save (archive off the TC) the old TM backup and start anew..
    But still do it over ethernet.
    This happens on every upgrade.. but it does seem to get worse as we go along.

  • Video stutters and audio is delayed after upgrading to iTunes 11

    I'm having a major issue with video playback.  The audio is about 10 seconds behind video playback.  The audio also stutters.  Is anyone else having this issue. SO ANNOYING!!!!

    Solved it.
    I had a program running in the background, which did not get picked up by MSCONFIG.
    I looked at the services on CCCleaner and there they were, many instances of this program, slowing the
    computer down and preventing other programs (including iTunes) from functioning.
    Turned them all off, and iTunes and all other pgms work again.

  • Mass storage issues (does not play in car on home stereo) after upgrading to V4.5

    I am having issues with Mass Storage after upgrading my 8130 to V4.5.  I can no longe hook the device to my home stereo or car stereo to play music. My computer does read the device.  It is not my media card.  I still have my old blackberry: the card shows up on both phones and computers.  It is not my cables as they work with my old phone.  I have also done all the obvious things like pull the battery and play with the media card setting
    This guy had the same issue though i never saw resolution:
    Any idea is appreciated! After upgrading the device software to version 4.5 earlier this week (BlackBerry 8800 with v4.5.0.69 (platform 2.7.0.72)) as proposed by T-Mobile and RIM Germany something has changed with the behaviour when connecting via USB as a mass storage device:
    Using a micro-SD card with 2 GB for some months now as a storage for MP3-Files which can be played with my Blue&Me system in my car. This is some kind of Microsoft Windows mobile platform (Automotive) providing playback of MP3-files etc connected via USB. This was never a problem with the previous software. It behaved as it should. Here is an example of what it previously did (taken from http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=BlackBerryDesktopSoftware&thread.id=3...):
    "On your Blackberry device, you may or may not first see a message about insufficient current. It just means you can't charge your Blackberry with that PC USB port. Hit the escape key once (on your Blackberry device). You will be prompted a question : do you want to activate USB Mass Storage Mode. You can answer YES or NO. Answer YES."
    The message about insufficient current is important here because the Blue&Me system does not provide the current as proposed by USB-standards. Anyway after clicking this message/warning away the Blue&Me would recognize the mass storage and start playback.
    After upgrading to v4.5 there is no warning about current any more and the mass storage can't be recognized. I've checked both components: The B&M works fine with any other USB-devices connected, and the BB works fine with Windows after connecting via USB (presumably because there is enough current!). All standard settings in Options/Media card for enabling mass storage have been tested but without success.
    Hopefully someone whose genius far exceeds mine will help me with this.  Thank You.

    I have exactly the same issue with my car stereo equiped with USB and my 8130 device. OS 4.3 works fine (and displays the "insuficcient current" message) and after upgrading to 4.5 mass storage mode not works anymore. And of course it works with regular desktop/notebook computers. I've made many experiments with different storage cards (now I use SDHC 8G from SanDisk). The card works fine if I attach it through card reader in my car, it even see multiple drives which cardreader creates.
    Even more I wrote the small blackberry application in java (i'am professional programmer) and ordered BB keys for $20 to deploy it to device. The program uses the RIM api call Device.requestStorageMode() which in my opinion should turn on storage mode of device. But the result was the same - car audio don't see the mass storage with OS 4.5.
    Interesting fact that in OS 4.3 the message about "insufficient current" appears BUT the device CHARGES via this USB without a problem. The same case with OS 4.5 - charging device is possible.
    Also, I can't switch to OS 4.3 because it have the serious problem with bluethooth connections - it suddenly lost my handsfree link and its very bad if I get incomming call during driving and my handsfree not work.
    Forgot to mention - now I have the OS 4.5.0.127

  • ITunes movie playback, audio and video not in sync after upgrade to Mountain Lion

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion I have problems with iTunes movie playback, and the audio/video at times stalls/delays, or skips a few seconds, or even gets out of sync.  I feared this problem was isolated to my machine until I saw an article online: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57489874-263/sound-stuttering-after-mountai n-lion-installation/.  I have 2011 iMac 27" with 16G RAM and am running the latest iTunes and Mac OS X software, and shutting down extra programs doesn't help.  Please let me know of any solution.

    I also have this problem, and some videos will no longer play in iTunes.
    I get a message that this video is not compatible with this version of iTunes. I have to open the video in Quicktime to watch it.
    Unacceptable! This hardware and software is too expensive to have these performance issues.

  • IPhone 5 music playback issues (after iOS 8 upgrade)

    Hi,
    After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 I have had many playback issues with my Music. Songs randomly skipping or stopping without even doing anything are some of the issues. Also sometimes when I am listening to a song it would fast forward the music.
    P.S. I don't sync my music, I just manually add content.
    Is there any way I can fix this problem?
    Thanks

    My wife had something like this happen with her iPad. The problem was that the device had not been synced and so some file were not loaded on the device.
    The way to correct the problem is to plug the device into the computer and tell it to sync.

  • Video playback control won't show after upgrade to 3.1

    Hi,
    I have a iPod Touch 2nd Generation. After upgrading from 2.2 to 3.1, when I tap the video during video playback, the playback control won't show. I have to tap it many many times in order for the playback control to show. Does anyone have the same problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? It is upsetting to pay for an upgrade that would break existing behavior.
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem and the reset didn't fix it. In fact I went in to the store and the Apple Genius saw the issue and replaced my ipod with a rebuilt ipod that had ipod 2.x software. I upgraded it to 3.2 and once again the playback controls don't show up. Called support and they think it's a bug ... hoping for a fix.
    Any ideas?

  • Choppy playback after upgrading to iTunes 11

    I am still on OSX 10.6.8 so I can still use Front Row on my laptop. I just recently upgraded to iTunes 11 and now playback of video will become choppy and sometimes stalls and the sound will also become choppy and unsynchronized with the video. This occurs when playing video on iTunes or Front Row. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, have you come up with a solution?? Thanks in advance.

    I was also having this issue on my iMac running OSX 10.6.8 after upgrading to iTunes 11.  Clearing my user Library Cache seems to have solved the issue.
    In case you're not sure how to do that, open a finder window, hit Cmd-Shift-G to go to a folder, then enter "~/Library/Caches". Select all the contents of the Caches folder, and hit Cmd-Delete. You will be prompted to enter your password in order to delete these files.  Restart your machine and empty the bin when you log back in.
