QT Pro won't allow "subtitles" to open.

iMac, OSX 10.8.5 
I bought QuickTime Pro from the Apple Store, received their registration code in my email, copied and pasted both the user name and the code into my QuickTime 7 registration panel, checked and it was identical. It took, sorta. The QT Pro icon appeared on the registration panel but while it was promised, it DID NOT activate any of the greyed out "options". In my computer, QT 7 and QT Pro are identical.
In particular, I need to turn On "Subtitles", which stubbornly shows only a grayed--out Off.
Three very nice/patient Apple Support Team members, with screen sharing, explored my computer, all assuring me that though the Pro icon appears only in the registration pane, the Pro functions have been turned on. QuickTime 7.6.6 now shows in "get info"
I only bought QuickTime 7 and QuickTime Pro for the subtitle feature to add text to  QuickTime movie's, I cannot turn it on and I need it very much.
Thanking all of you in advance.
Bob

Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:

  • My iPhone 5 won't allow me to open pictures from text messages.

    My iPhone 5 won't allow me to open pictures from text messages. I tap the picture, then it just goes to a "thinking" screen and says "Restoring..."
    I tried restarting, but it still won't allow me to open pictures.
    Please help!!

    My iPhone 5 is also having this problem. I just received it2 days ago and it would let me open mms messages, but ever since yesterday it will have a loading screen and never let me see it. I've just been having to save my picture into my camera roll and view it that way

    Actually, it may be more to it. I just wasted good 7 hours on the issue: I transferred a big external drive from old WinXp system to my new W7 system, and faced the ownership mayhem ever since.
    No matter what I did to the Volume Owner, Files Owner and attributes, recursive Directory Ownership jobs enduring tens of minutes at a time, nothing helped really.
    Because you might have one more issue:
    Use "Folder Options", either from Tools menu in Explorer, if menu shows, or via Control Panel.
    Click on View tab, and find the box for "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)". Ignore that recommendation, uncheck.
    Go now to the root directory of your troubled drive and you will see a hidden file "System Volume Information". This can be the "bad guy." Ensure that you have access to that file using the Properties / Security tab in a customary fashion! In my case that file was "padlocked", a small lock icon was placed over the folder icon to indicate that.
    Only once I changed that, I was able to access the LR catalogs as a regular user. And only than LR was finally able to access existing previews and to display the grid image icons!
    Ugrh.... Windows, the "personal computer system" is a mess, a labyrinth of convoluted intertwined dependencies, maybe created in competing departments and piled up atop of each other in an unseemly fashion. Compared to Unix and its derivatives it is a nightmare, which is a part of our lives for decades already.
    I think that all the Apple users are now double-happy to have made the transition, when they see such "problems."

  • I just received this message: "*** Collection __NSArrayM: 0x610004449540 was mutated while being enumerated."  and it won't allow me to open or place any documents FROM photoshop but.......

    I just received this message: "*** Collection <__NSArrayM: 0x610004449540> was mutated while being enumerated."  and it won't allow me to open or place any documents FROM photoshop but I can open files from finder into photoshop. HELP! I just recently got a new iMac and have faced this problem before, we thought it was a permissions error from where we rebooted the computer from. Because of this we just wiped the computer and recently re-installed everything. Now 2 days after re-installing all programs including photoshop I'm receiving these errors. Why is this happening and how can I fix it!?

    ok, i've just run a specific test.
    1 - Online, ensure that mail is sync'd
    2 - Disable network connection, confirm that mail has moved to offline mode
    3 - Delete 20 messages in a folder
    4 - Conifm they have been deleted (whilst still offline)
    5 - Re-enable network connection, leave machine alone for 5 minutes
    6 - Confirm that messages haven't been deleted and are still in the folder untouched
    7 - Whilst still online, try to delete one or more of the messages, they vanish for a moment, then re-appear
    8 - ***
    Can replicate this at will......surely this isn't just me?
    Seems I'm back to Outlook again

  • Macbook Pro won't sleep when lid open

    My 2011 Macbook Pro won't go to sleep if I leave the lid open. I have checked System Preferences>Energy Saver and the display/computer sleep is set to 10 min for both Battery and Power Adapter settings. Even if I close all the applications down, my computer will still not go to sleep. The battery just gets completely drained if I forget to close the lid. Help?

  • I am getting a runtime error message that won't allow itunes to open when I plug in my ipod.  Any suggestions?? I already rebooted my computer.  It worked fine yesterday.

    I am getting a run time error message that I've never seen before, it won't allow me to connect my ipod touch with windows.  It says:  An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    I have no idea what this means but it was working fine yesterday when I connected it. 
    I have rebooted my computer and nothing has been fixed.

    Did you do this:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • My Macbook Pro won't allow me to update from Quicktime 10.2 to 10.7

    I need QuickTime 7 on my mac to play some files for work, and already have QuickTime 10.2 on it, which my Mac won't allow me to uninstall. And when I try and install 7.7, I get an alert telling me that 'This version of QuickTime 7 can't be instralled on this disk because QuickTime X is already present. Please use Software Update to install the appropriate version of QuickTime for you Mac.'
    Yet when I use Software Update, there is nothing to update.
    Any ideas?

  • Acrobat Pro won't allow to save with Reader Extended Features

    I've saved forms this way before because all the users of our forms only have the free Reader version. For some reason it now won't allow me to save with the extended features. When I save as and hover over "Reader Extended PDF" it shows my 3 options but none of them are clickable. I don't know why it has saved before, but it won't now.
    I also have a secondary issue. A form I previously, successfully saved this way is now not working for one of the users. It won't allow her to save the information she inputs. To my knowledge it has not been changed and it has only been used by a few people. Why would it suddenly stop allowing her to save?
    I am working on a Mac, but the users are all on PC's. I've never had this be an issue before though.

    Be sure you're not in form editing mode when you attempt to enable the document.
    Regarding not being able to save with Reader after initially being able to, this has been reported before many times but the casue is often elusive. The document has somehow changed in a way that prevents the usage rights from being validated. This is not supposed to happen, but it does.

  • My MacBook pro won't allow me to double click to open files or select the music I want to play, how do I fix this?

    When going to open a file or select a song to play in iTunes or opening links I used to be able to double click on my track pad to open files or links, now I have to tap once with two fingers to open the "right click" option on a normal mouse pad to be able to select it. How do I fix this in order to be able to just double click the track pad to open the folder or link?

    Hi kylec4544,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your MacBook Pro. If you are having issues opening things by double clicking on them, you may want to double check to make sure the double click speed hasn't accidentally been set too high, as noted in the following article:

  • I downloaded a book through iBooks on my iPad and it won't allow me to open in. Any suggestions?

    I downloaded a book through iBooks on my iPad and it's not allowing me to view it, any suggestions.

    If the book won't open then try deleting it from the bookshelf and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app and see if you can open that.

  • MacBook Pro won't allow website to use camera

    Hey fellows.
    So, I've been trying to use a few different websites, the likes of www.6rounds.com and www.stickam.com, that allow you to video chat with people. Whenever I try to make sure my camera is working, though, it refuses to acknowledge it. I have the macromedia settings set up properly, and I can open photobooth, and immediately the green light opens. As soon as I switch screens, though, it disappears, and even with it open in the background, the camera can never be accessed.
    Any help? It would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Elandruss,
    Did you reach out to Stickam's support group?
    http://stickam.com/about/faq.do#MAC_Users
    Sounds like the software's ability to access the hardware is the point of failure. If the camera works in Photo Booth, it's not an OS X issue.

  • Application Manager won't allow me to open programs

    I uninstalled and reinstalled everything per Adobe's suggestion.  I am still having the problem.  I bought a hard copy of the software and installed it after uninstalling Creative Cloud.  This worked fine for a few months.  Now, however, when I try to launch an Adobe program, the Application Manager opens and asks me to renew my subscription.  If I close that window, my program won't open.
    Adobe tech help suggested I try uninstalling App Manager, and if that didn't work to reinstall CS6.  So I uninstalled App Manager, but when I went to uninstall CS6..... guess what program I needed?  So I had to download App Manager again in order to uninstall and reinstall CS6.  But now I'm right back in the same situation.
    Does anyone know a fix for this?
