Quartz Composer Files not opening

Hi, I am new to Quartz Composer. I hope I am posting this query in the right area.
Browsing the net to get info on doing motion detection with QC, I have come across a number of downloadable sample compositions. However, when clicked on, the following message appears -"the downloaded composition is unsafe and cannot be run inside webkit".
Control clicking allows me to download the file anyway but on launching QC a message reads that the file was not restored successfully, listing the problems (eg. > Macro Patch Cannot create node of class "QCQueue" and identifier "(null)"etc.)
From discussions on the pages that these compositions are posted on, it is clear that others have downloaded and used these files without problems.
I have QC Version 2.0 (16) running on a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.4.11
Any ideas?
Many thanks!

In Quartz Composer, some of the patches are deemed as "unsafe" because they could potentially be used for malicious purposes, such as the video input or audio input patches. I'm pretty sure that Kineme ( http://kineme.net/ ) has a plugin that lets you work around those limitations, though.

  • Can't get a quartz composer file to play via applescript.

    I'm trying to create a script to play a quartz composer file full screen.
    I do the following:
    tell application "Finder"
    open POSIX file "/Users/wesM/Desktop/colorbar audio.qtz"
    end tell
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
    activate
    play front document
    end tell
    I get an error "document 1 doesn’t understand the play message". I tested and can play a .mov file, but not a .qtz file? Any help/ideas?
    Thanks

    Try this:
    tell application "Finder" to open POSIX file "/Users/wesM/Desktop/colorbar audio.qtz"
    tell application "QuickTime Player" to activate
    delay 1
    tell application "System Events" to key code 49 -- keyboard shortcut: space bar
    Or better yet:
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
    launch
    activate
    open POSIX file "/Users/wesM/Desktop/colorbar audio.qtz"
    end tell
    tell application "System Events" to key code 49 -- keyboard shortcut: space bar

  • PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

    Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
    it always open in browser
    I have already made following changes but didn,t work
    Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
    Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
    Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
    Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
    Installed Adober eader in client machine
    Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
    It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

    It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

  • Pdf file not opening on pushing fdf file with F key in Adobe  Reader

    Well i am a novice developer in case of PDF Development.
    The problem which i am facing is:-
    In our application a PDF document submits the data to server and server sends back FDF to client with f key as http path of PDF which is present on web server.
    This all works well in acrobat professional 7.0 but in abobe reader 8.0 the PDF file doesn't open up on pushing FDF.
    On debugging the problem i found out that if server sends response within 480 milliseconds then reader is showing the pdf otherwise it don't shows up.Since in our application it will always take more than this time because of several operation performed to serve the request posted to server,So the
    PDF will never show up in case of reader.
    I was unable to understand what make it special in acrobat professional that session lasts more than 480 milliseconds whereas in reader the session doesn't last that long.
    I really need uregent help on this.
    Thanks in advance for help.

  • Quick Time file not opening

    Suddenly QuickTime 7.5.5 stopped opening the movies stored in one Hard Disc.
    Here are descriptions of how problem occurs:
    1) The preview in finder +column view+ shows only blank space, but not a movie.
    2) Instead of opening the file QT claims that "This is not a movie file"
    3) Not all the movies in the disk are injured but about 80 % of them. There might be in same folder movies that behaves normally and movies that behaves as described above.
    I have restarted the machine few times and repaired the disk with disk utility, with not any couraging results...
    If there were any ideas what the problem might be, and how to fix it, advices would be very much appreciated.
    Screenshots of the problem:
    http://koti.welho.com/tsuonio1/File-not-open.jpg

    Two possibilities spring to mind. One is that the HD itself has been damaged somehow. Try copying one of the "bad" video files to your boot drive and opening from there. If it won't copy, your HD is clearly bad, if it copies and plays then something weirder is going on with the drive.
    The other possibility has to do with the h264 codec you used. Apple's implementation of the H264 standard is a work in progress, they've been gradually adding features that are part of the full standard and may have broken something. If you recently upgraded QT that may be the problem. If you created the files using a third party H264 codec that might explain the playback problems. Also, you should install Perian (www.perian.org) and see if that helps, their codec plays back many formats that Apple doesn't support out of the box.
    You may need to upload one of the bad files to an filesharing website of some kind so that other folks here can download and look at it themselves.

  • .indd files not opening with recently installed Indesign CS3

    The .indd files don't have the Indesign icon next to them, instead they have the win32 icon. When I double click on one of the files an error message appears telling me that...
    "this file is not a valid win32 application"
    Even when I right-click on the file and choose to open with Indesign, it tells me the same thing. Also in this options menu, Indesign is not shown with the Indesign logo next to it, but rather the windows generic 'unknown file type' logo.
    If I open Indesign first however, and then choose file>open and choose the file. It opens fine.

    Exactly my situation yesterday, with the icon disappearing and INDD files not opening within InDesign from Explorer.
    I'm using an early XP Pro, which I guess qualifies it as 32 bit.
    The steps to rebuilding everything using the Folder Options in Windows Explorer are:
    Tools > Folder Options > File Types
    If INDD is not listed, click the New button to creat an entry, otherwise select it and click the Advanced button.
    You have an option to change the icon, so navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 and select the InDesign icon.
    Then under actions you need to create four actions that will relate to the context menu choices when you right click an INDD files, so click New and add actions for edit, open, preview and print.
    In the Application used to perform action box enter "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\InDesign.exe" "%1"
    Those quote marks are important. Just browsing to InDesign.exe will fill the box for you, but for some reason - for me at least - it creates the %1 indicating to open the file you selected, but it doesn't wrap it in quotes. And without those quotes (at least on my machine) InDesign will start but won't load the file.
    There is also a check box to use DDE. I don't know what's appropriate here, but I ticked the box and it works OK.

    Quartz Composer wasn't built correctly, it needs you to install Xcode into /Developer (the default). If you install it anywhere else, it'll crash with the log you mention.

    installnametool -rpath /Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks "<your install path>/Library/PrivateFrameworks" "<your install path>/Applications/Quartz Composer.app/Contents/MacOS/Quartz Composer"

  • Software Updates Missing and File Not opening in Final Cut Pro

    Hi Experts,
    I am having trouble with Final Cut Pro. Here goes:-
    I tried to load up a FCP file called "Overview" in Lesson One of the Apple Pro Training Series book called "Color". The file would not open and I got the following message alert in FCP:
    "File's format is too new for this version of the application".
    I am running FCP 6.0.1 and so went to check for software updates. I could not find any listed for FCP. I did a quick internet search to make sure and found there were indeed updates to 6.0.1.
    So I guess I have 2 problems:
    1. Why won't a file from a book that was published before I bought FCP work on my app?
    2. Why can't I see updates for FCP in the Software Update application?
    I am mega stuck with this. I have read of similar problems to mine on the internet but have found no solution. I hope that you will be able to help me out.
    Thank you all,
    Bob

    Hi Nick!
    Thanks for your reply. I feel kinda silly now but I have been continuously checking Software Update for 24hrs and I just got a new addition to the list which was called "Pro Applications Update 2008-05".
    Seeing something new, I installed it and it upgraded my Final Cut Applications including FCP to version 6.0.5.
    The file then opened.
    I am truly sorry to have taken your time up. As when I posted last time Nick, you were very prompt and helpful.
    All the best,
    This problem is solved for me and I hope all the other people having this problem find this update as luckily as I just did.

  • IWeb "Domain" File Not Opening in Mavericks

    I just bought a new Mac Pro and converted everything over from my early 2008 Mac Pro.  However, my iWeb Domain file will not open in the new Mac.  It defaults to the start up iWeb page asking me to choose a new template. 
    Facts:
    1- Both systems are running same version of Mavericks.
    2- Both systems are running same version of iWeb.
    3- In the Early Mac system, when I open iWeb, the Domain automatically opens.  In new Mac it opens to the "choose a template for your webpage" option.  Same result if I double click on the actual Domain file.
    Troubleshooting already done:
    1- Confirmed this is the only Domain file on the system
    2- Opened same file on old system to ensure it is a valid Domain file
    3- Re saved in old system and transferred over to new system.  Same result when opening.
    Thank you in advance for any insights on this.

    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:

  • .pdf file not opening in Illustrator CS5

    All of a sudden, I cannot get ,pdf files to open in Illustrator CS5. what would cause this?
    Thanks

    Jeremy,
    Or you may go further down the list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
