Quartz Composer isn't on my mac

I have Mac OS X 10.7.3, and I have installed numerous developer tools, including Xcode, Quartz Composer, Dashcode, and Instruments. I have used all of these before; several months ago, and they worked just fine. I recently wanted to use Quartz Composer, and I can't find it anywhere on my computer. The only place that has any reference to it is in the LaunchPad, which shows a question mark over the icon. Same for Dashcode and Instruments. How do I get these onto my Mac?

Mac Mini Intel Duo - Quartz Composer - Unsupported Configuration ?

Hello Group,
Mac Mini Intel Core Duo 1.66 with 1GB RAM
I cant seem to be able to get Quartz Composer to open a qtz file. When I try to open the RSS visualizer screen saver file, Quartz tries to open iot, and then displays a message saying that I need an Nvidia or ATI card and 16mB of VRAM or more.
System profiler doesnt have any info on graphics/displays below the display line on the roght side.
This Mini is accessed using Remote Desktop/VNC/SSH only.
It does not have a monitor attached (only the DVI-VGA adapter is attached).
Would this be the reason Quartz Composer will not open the qtz files ?
Thanks in advance.

Keynote and Quartz Composer

I am fairly new to Quartz Composer, that being said I have built several animations that I want to add to Keynote presentations, but everytime I try to add them into Keynote they only last :30 sec. I have tried exporting as a .mov file and each time I do I am prompted to give the file an end time, I have tried several different times, and yet Keynote still gives it a :30 sec runtime. I have looked at the exported file in Quicktime and it also says the file is only :30 sec. I have been searching forums for some time now with no luck, but I have found that I am not the only one with this problem.
How can I get the QC file to last longer than :30 sec? Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated as this is really starting to wear on me. Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions, agentdavo.
I don't think it is. I tried the same thing (to try to get around QuickTime's 3 second limitation) and Keynote isn't allowing access to the video hardware.

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.
You can fix it with the following command (in Terminal)
installnametool -rpath /Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks "<your install path>/Library/PrivateFrameworks" "<your install path>/Applications/Quartz Composer.app/Contents/MacOS/Quartz Composer"
In Nathan's case, <your install path> is "/Users/nathanbriggs/Developer".

Screensaver crashing when made with Quartz Composer using Asynchronous Mode?

Hi all, I made a screensaver using video in Quartz Composer but the playback was choppy. I went into settings and used Asynchronous Mode, which sorted this out. It was running fine at first. Runs well in viewer and runs when I select test screensaver. I powered the mac up this morning and any of the screensavers using Asynchronous Mode they start for a second and then the screensaver stops suddenly. Again they work fine whilst test screensaver button is used and in the QC viewer but suddenly not when I use hot corners or when the Screensaver activates???
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

I downloaded his pre-built version and fiddled with it a bit, putting in a .mov file. The saver crashed System Prefs. Discovered that the quartz composition would only open in QT7, not QTX. I tried a quartz composition that did not have a movie in it, and that worked as a screen saver. I tried the movie saver, replaced the movie with one that did open in QTX, which would work in the Finder and QuickLook, although it ran only in QT7 (as do all my old qtz compostions), but it still crashed System Prefs. Unfortunately I haven't installed Developer Tools for Snow Leopard, so don't know if you could get it to work using the latest iteration of Quartz Composer and rebuilding the composition there--don't even know if there is a new Quartz Composer.
I suspect there is a problem between 32bit and 64bit things, although exactly what that might be I don't know, since the straight qtz compositions, without a movie, seem to work in screen saver mode.
Using the QT7 only movie produced a slightly different crash report than using the QTX compatible movie. I have seen other reports of non-Apple screen savers that will not run in Snow Leopard, with the statement that the savers must be re-compiled to work in 64bit. My quess is that really simple quartz compositions use the quartz engine available in Snow Leopard, and thus even though built with a 32bit Quartz Composer do run as 64bit, by calling only Snow Leopard functions, and thus will work, but that the movie saver has something inherently 32bit in it and so causes a conflict.

Quartz Composer - Effects of Other Cards? Any New Ideas?

I have read the discussions here about Quartz Composer, and noticed a mix of difficulties:
1 hardware restrictions (G4 or video card)
2 can't get preview (white screen), but can get render
3 can get preview, but can't get render (white screen)
4 can't get either preview or render
5 get greyed or coloured results in renders
I'm suffering 4 - no preview or render - but not 1 - I have a G5 2G Dual Processor, with an ATI Radeon Pro 9600. (I see ripples when widgets launch.)
In this context, are there any new ideas?
One observation: to find out the name of my video card, I ran system profiler, to be reminded that I have:
- an old ATI card driving a second monitor in a PCI slot
- an Alchemy TV card also in a PCI slot
I know it's tempting to blame the cards for the iMovie difficulty, especially since we are talking about a video problem, and both are video cards, so I want to ask:
- are there any people with these kinds of cards having no problem at all?
- are there any people with similar cards experiencing similar problems?

"I know it's tempting to blame the cards for the
iMovie difficulty, especially since we are talking
about a video problem"
Have you tried pulling out [Alchemy TV and second monitor] cards, just to rule
them out as a source of the problem?
No... my thinking is that I'm an amateur iMovie user, and in the end I would feel more comfortable with my second montor and (very occasionally used!) TV than with a fully working iMovie. Hence my questions were directed at finding out whether others had:
- these problems without cards being fitted
- no problems despite cards being fitted

Quartz Composer Visualizer crashes.

Hi, I'm a great fan of Quartz Composer, and would like to start playing with multiple screen composition. I can successfully run a composition fullscreen on my own mac with QC visualizer. However, whenever I try to start one of my compositions in Quartz Composer Visualizer with an external screen connected, I just get a black screen. If I try one of apple's prebuilt compositions in the same 2 display configuration, my computer freezes (and I have to restart). I get the error log from console below:
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Many thanks.

I had the same error message and removed the 'Quartz Composer Visualizer' plug-in. iTunes seemed to load faster afterwards. Bt now the console gives me the error message that the 'Quartz Composer Visualizer' plug-in could not be found. So any way to remove references to the 'Quartz Composer Visualizer' in iTunes or a way to install a working version of the plug-in.

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 open Quartz Composer on new updated OS 10.8.3

Hello,
After upgrading yesterday from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion OS 10.8.3 on MacMini early 2009, I today downloaded correspondent new XCode app from Apple Store to my Application folder.
Tried to open old Quartz Composer.
No way. Error Message:
An exception was raised:
+[QCImageManager registerImageBufferConverterClass:priority:]: "BackdropsImageBufferConverter" is already registered
Then I found Ralph Johns's post on archived thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2373658:
"If the timings went Snow Leopard Install then 10.6.2 update the Developers Tools I would try running the COMBO version of the OS Update over what you have.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosxv1062updatecomb o.html"
So, I downloaded OSXUpdCombo10.8.3.dmg and installed that update.
Then deleted all items from my Developer folder and downloaded new Quartz Composer app, through xcode46graphicstools6938140a.dmg and tried to open it.
-> Same error message.
What can I do?
Thank you for helping,
Michel

Quartz Composer crash when opening library only in 64bit

Hi,
I experience the following error only when I try to open the Library of Quartz Composer launched in 64bit:
0x86cbae20: -[NSView _drawRect:clip:] 0x86cb9938: -[NSView _recursiveDisplayAllDirtyWithLockFocus:visRect:] 0x86cb9ca2: -[NSView _recursiveDisplayAllDirtyWithLockFocus:visRect:] 0x86cb9ca2: -[NSView _recursiveDisplayAllDirtyWithLockFocus:visRect:] 0x86cb9ca2: -[NSView _recursiveDisplayAllDirtyWithLockFocus:visRect:] 0x86cb9ca2: -[NSView _recursiveDisplayAllDirtyWithLockFocus:visRect:] 0x86cb9ca2: -[NSView _recursiveDisplayAllDirtyWithLockFocus:visRect:] 0x86cb9ca2: -[NSView _recursiveDisplayAllDirtyWithLockFocus:visRect:] 0x86cb9ca2: -[NSView _recursiveDisplayAllDirtyWithLockFocus:visRect:] 0x86cb800a: -[NSView _recursiveDisplayRectIfNeededIgnoringOpacity:isVisibleRect:rectIsVisibleRectFor View:topView:] 0x86cb7b2c: -[NSThemeFrame _recursiveDisplayRectIfNeededIgnoringOpacity:isVisibleRect:rectIsVisibleRectFor View:topView:] 0x86cb43de: -[NSView _displayRectIgnoringOpacity:isVisibleRect:rectIsVisibleRectForView:] 0x86c2dc0e: -[NSView displayIfNeeded] 0x86bf5c3b: -[NSWindow _reallyDoOrderWindow:relativeTo:findKey:forCounter:force:isModal:] 0x86bf57d2: -[NSWindow orderWindow:relativeTo:] 0x86bf3154: -[NSWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:] 0x0001aeaa 0x8719aa6b: -[NSToolbarButton sendAction:to:] 0x86e0a205: -[NSToolbarItemViewer mouseDown:] 0x86cf73a7: -[NSWindow sendEvent:] 0x86c2cafa: -[NSApplication sendEvent:] 0x0000a994 0x86bc36de: -[NSApplication run]
If I run a composition it render perfectly but as soon as I try to open the library it give me the error and the library does not show any patches.
In 32bit mode everything works good. I deleted the "com.apple.QuartzComposer.editor.plist" file, but I still get the same error.
I'm running a MacPro with Mac OSX 10.6.8. Quartz composer 4.0 and Xcode 3.2.6
Any help?
Thanx

Same problem for me.
This happens only on Mac from version 13.0.4 Photoshop.
It doesn't works with mx:Windows and s:Windows.
I tried with Extension builder version 1.5.0 and 2.0.0.4 but the problem persists.
Thanks.

Quartz composer...mb vs mbpro

i went to the apple store here in dallas to test the macbook vs macbookpro on this very topic.
i have been learning quartz composer recently and decided to write my own patch that would allow me to test the gpu capabilities of each machine. i wrote a patch that while not pretty graphically, was nevertheless pretty taxing on the gpu. it has a 3d rotating cube with an image mapped to it and a guassian blur applied to the whole scene. i also included a fps counter which would allow me to compare different hardware. the gaussian blur really taxes the gpu. on my powerbook g4 12" before the blur i was getting 5% rendering loads and 60 fps and after it was applied i got 1 fps and 99% loads.
i loaded the patch on my girlfriend's shuffle and took it to the apple store, then ran the quartz composition in quicktime 7 on each machine. the macbooks were getting roughly 6 fps. i tested it on a macbookpro and was getting 30 fps and the same on a 17" iMac. that made the decision easy for me....i will be getting a macbookpro. thought this might be helpful to people that might have been on the fence like me. i

I had my drive done on my MBP. I bought it off a reputable etailer, zipzoomfly (http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=101520) and took it to a authorized mac service center (microcenter) and they did the install for $50. I did the reinstall of OS X. I eBayed my old drive and got $90 for it, so all in all I saved $50 over buying it directly from apple.
In your case however, there's no option from apple so this is the only route. Also the MacBook seems to make it fairly easy to replace the drive versus the need to totally take apart the macbook pro. So you could do it yourself since it seems as easy as removing the battery and a couple of screws.
If you're wondering why I chose the drive I did it's because that seems to be the drive apple uses when people purchase the 100GB 7200 RPM upgrade, so I wanted it to be as compatiable as possible.

Quartz composer - Can't get a structure to work inside an iterator

I'm playing around in quartz composer (leopard) trying to make a photo slideshow type composition. I have a directory scanner hooked up to a published input of an Iterator, which connects to a structure key member selector, with the index coming from the iterator index. The idea is to have each iteration chose a different structure member. For some reason this isn't working. It's only choosing the first member for each iteration. The number of iterations is the same as the number of structure members. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? If someone could check and see if it's not just my computer, that would be great. any suggestions on fixes as well. If it is a bug, where can I report it to Apple? It seems like a feature that should be available. Thanks!
here's a text diagram of the composition for clarity (or possibly confusion):
Directory scanner(outputs structure)-to-Iterator{
-to-(structure from scanner)(index- taken from iterator index)structure key member(outputs substructure)-to-structure key member(to get the path) (outputs the image path)-to-image downloader-to-sprite}

Hi there. I'm trying to do something similar and have encountered the same problem. If I use the movie loader in an iterator and load a bunch of movies it all works fine, but as soon as i use the image downloader all the images are the same. I've tried rendering the url that i'm passing to the image downloader onscreen and they are the correct filenames, but the image downloader is just outputting the same image for all instances. Did you find a solution to this problem?

Quartz Composer isn't on my mac
