Quick Time Pro will not launch

10/04/10: I downloaded Quick Time 7 and purchased a key for Pro. I can open video files with QT7Pro but I cannot launch Quick Time from either the short cut that was created or from the All Programs. The only thing that happens is that the Apple Quick Time logo and name appear in the bottom of the screen as though the program was shrunk down. It will not launch. Right clicking on the icon only provides the capability to "move" "minimuze" or "close." Maximize is grayed out and so is "restore."
I'd like to use the software I purchased to edit my videos and use some of the other features of Quick Time Pro.
What could be the issue? HELP.

That sounds a bit like a blown-out QuickTime preference file, Bill.
First we'll try rebuilding the QuickTime.qtp file, to see if that helps with the launch.
Quit QuickTime if the button is currently showing in your Taskbar.
We'll now have to set you up to view hidden files and folders.
(1) Quit Safari if you have it open
(2) Go Start > Open.
(3) In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
(4) Click the View tab.
(5) Make sure that Show hidden files and folders is selected.
(6) Click OK.
Now look for a QuickTime folder in one of the following two locations (where "UserAccountName" is the name of the user account in which QuickTime isn't launching correctly):
C:\Users\UserAccountName\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\QuickTime\
... or:
C:\Users\UserAccountName\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\QuickTime\
Drag the entire QuickTime folder out onto your Desktop.
Now launch the QuickTime Player again. (This should rebuild the folder and contained preference files.)
Does the Player launch properly this time? Or do you still get the same trouble?

  • When I load Quick time Encore will not link to Photo shop Why??????

    When ever I try and load Quick time to my production Premium Package and use Encore I am not able to link to Photoshop. It goes right to a quick time file.Do I have the wrong version of QuickTime or what.(QuickTime version 7) I am using windows 7 professional and I have Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production premium. When ever I uninstall QuickTime it works fine but then it ask's me for "quick Time". Is there a special version of Quick time that I have to load and where do I find it. I am not that computer "savie" so please be detailed.
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Jack

    Jack,
    As Stanley says, your PSD file association has been changed by QT. If on a PC, go to Control Panel>Folder Options>File Type, and wait for the screen to populate. Scroll down to PSD and choose Photoshop (should be in the little list of programs, but if not, just navigate to it).
    QT was once horrible about file associations. Upon install, it would go into the system, and just grab almost every file type for itself - even if it could not actually open that file type. Just flat horrible behavior. That changed about version 7, but if one is not careful, they can turn over the file associations to QT and it will do the same - mark most (it now only seizes image and AV file types) to be opened in QT, by default.
    I manually set QT for just MOV and MP4's, as I have other programs, that I want to have those other associations. I just use the method above. Same for JPEG's, and GIF's - Photoshop will grab those associations, but for them, I want other viewers as the default, and not PS. If I want them into PS, I use use File>Open.
    Once you have changed the file association(s), test Edit in Photoshop from En, again.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Time Capsule Will Not Launch

    HELP! My Time Capsule (TC) does not mount on to my desktop. When I try to "back up" manually, I get an exclamation point and a failed notice. I can hear the TC disk spinning, but it never mounts. The only way I can get it to mount onto my desktop is to go to System Preferences, click on Time Machine and press "Change Disk". When I do this, my Time Machine name appears. I then click, enter my password, and then the TM mounts. This seems wrong to me. I thought the beauty of TM is that it works independently. I should also tell you that I always turn off my computer when it's not in use. I'm not sure if that is part of the problem or not. Anyway, whatever help I get will be truly appreciated.

    Quite a few are having this particular problem with time machine that backs up to time capsule, that simply does not appear to mount automatically and some go into finder others go into time machines pref's to mount it manually.
    I might be wrong in this, but I believe that Time capsule will only mount to the desktop automatically when time machine does it stuff, providing of course that your time machine pref's are set correctly to backup at a certain time. If not then I stand corrected as I have not thoroughly tested this.
    A lot of these glitches that appear to be happening is interruption to the auto backup, where one stops the backup in process or the computer is switched off or there is a loose connection to the time capsule, either deliberately or accidently.
    When you or accidentally stop Time machine backing up to the Time Capsule and cause an interruption, then Artdirect is right, that you can start off from the previous backup when you start manually as it continue to progress to the end.
    Though at least one I know found that this did not work for them and the back-up started from the beginning.
    One suggestion it to delete the sparse folders that is created on the time capsule and start over again with the back-up and let Time machine continue its work right to the end, unfortunately for some this has been a nightmare as the backup just suddenly stops for no apparent reason and does not complete it's backup..
    Question is now that because of interruptions, and there will be some, especially when ones Time machine is taking forever to backup, and that time machine stops working properly you have to manually back-up again because of the dreaded exclamation mark because it cannot find your time capsule that appears not to be mounted. At least one says that he puts the time capsule as a login item, but this does not work for me.
    I hope someone comes up with a solution to this or a work around, but until then you will have to put up with this until Apple perhaps will bring out a firmware update to automatically start the back up after an interruption.

  • Quick time Pro does not allow me to download files after unlocked.

    In a website there are some audios in QT that I want to download. I right clicked and it gave me the option to download them. After a new screen apperared inviting me to purchase QT Pro. I did it and got the registration code to unlock Pro features.
    Well, now I go to the same website and right clicking on the objects does not work anymore, hence I can not download anything and I just purchased the license to do it.
    Windows Vista.
    Regards,
    Juan

    I think I killed myself. In the QT preferences I had choose Enable kiosk mode in the browser tab, which disables the option to save movies and change preferences from within the browser.
    Now I have another problem, but I will open another ticket. I download, but it only downloads 1K files, but not the whole contents.
    Thanks, Juan

  • Time Machine will not launch

    I have a client who has a Ready NAS for Time Machine backups.  Everything has been runing fine until recently.  Althoguh it appears backups are operational, when she clicks on Time Machine in the dock, nothing happens.  The application icon doesn't even bounce.  I've tried launching from the Applications folder as well but the results are the same.  She can go in to the time machine preference pane and select a local disk for back up and everything works that way. 

    This is not the answer you or your client wants to hear, but that device is unsupported and unsuitable for use with Time Machine. I know the manufacturer claims otherwise, and I know it sometimes works. Search this site for reports of data-loss disasters resulting from the use of third-party network devices as TM backup destinations.

  • Logic Pro will not launch

    Hello everyone. I just tried launching my Logic Pro application and a window popped up that said:
    This version of Logic Pro requires Pro Application Support 4.0 (687.0) or newer.
    ProKit: 589.0
    I'm currently using Logic Pro 8.0.2 I've tried updating and now I'm wondering if I should just uninstall and reinstall? If so, I'm wondering how to approach the task? Thanks for the input take care.

    One other thing that is interesting, is that I launch Soundtrack Pro not sure if you guys use it or not but all the loops and samples are highlighted red not sure what that would mean in FCP it means that the files are off line but as far as Soundtrack not sure what it means and what to do to fix it.

  • Quick Time pro does not start at all  and gives an error "Fehler 46: K"

    I installed QT pr0 without problems. But QT does not start. After doubleclicking there is a short message with the above error code "Fehler 46:K" No movie can be played is thera any support for pro customer`? Is the Problem known? Installing and uninstalling does not help. Procedures recommanded from apple - empty temp etc. did not help either. Google did only find 2 posts none with valuable information.

    As I'm sure you are already aware, that HDD has failed to the point it cannot find a bootable volume.
    If you have a backup, no worries.
    If you do not have a backup, you could try to reinstall the operating system and get the disk to a state in which it will at least mount. Then, copy whatever information remains intact to another disk. I would be inclined to replace the drive now, install the failed one in an external enclosure, and attempt to extract whatever information you need from it.

  • Final Cut Pro Will NOT Launch

    Everything was fine yesterday. Now it quits after the FCP launch screen. It goes through loading all the plugins, then when the graphic disappears, the program quits and you're back at the finder.
    Any suggestions on how to remedy this? I'm using version 5.

    Have you tried the Sudo Shuffle (although I believe this is usually a solution when FCP isn't even getting as far as the plug-ins.)
    1. Save any files or work you may have open, because you'll need to restart the computer after these steps.
    2. Open Terminal (found at /Applications/Utilities/).
    3a. In 10.3.9 or earlier Type: sudo update_prebinding -root / -force
    3b. In 10.4.0 and later sudo update_prebinding -root / -force -debug
    4. Press Return.
    5. Enter your password when prompted.
    6. The prebinding operation may take a few minutes. When it is complete, a new command-line prompt will appear. When this happens, please quit Terminal and restart your computer.
    (Don't forget to Restart.)

  • Upgrading to Quick time pro does not recognisse my key

  • Quick Time 7 and Quick Time Pro Functionality Issue

    I purchased Quick Time Pro a few years ago when Quick Time was another version. Quick Time is needed for Premiere Elements. With the current  Quick Time 7 comes an issue: my Quick Time Pro will not function in Quick Time 7 because the Quick Time Pro I only functions in earlier Quick Time versions. I either have to purchase a new Quick Time Pro product key to run in Quick Time 7 or run an earlier version of Quick Time to have my current Quick Time Pro function properly. Does anyone else have this issue?

    I have not. Historically, the Pro unlock will work for all versions in a series, i.e. Pro version 6 will work in all versions in the 6 series. I got my Pro version 7 at about 7.2.x, and it has worked fine with all through version 7.5.5, where I am now. The current version is 7.6.6, and I have heard of no issues with a Pro version 7 unlock not working in any versions later than my 7.5.5.
    Seems strange, but then maybe Apple has departed from history?
    Good luck,

  • I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

    i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
    my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
    i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
    i am sure there is a simple way round this?
    thanks guys!
