Quicktime 10.1 Previously viewed files show up on launch

Since upgrading to Lion, when ever I launch quicktime, a file that I previously viewed opens up again. This happens even when I close the file prior to quitting quick time.
In fact I have to close the file 2 or 3 times for it to stop. What am I missing?

Thank you Kirk,
I noticed it for shut down and restart, but was not aware that it applied to apps as well. Now I know.

Preview opens previously viewed files

I highlight just one file on my desktop and double click it to see it in Preview. I get a second image from a PDF I view yesterday. Went through Preferences in Preview, but can't seem to figure out how to get to only display one image I select. It's done this before too. I highlight the image and double click and it shows me the highlighte image and the last one I viewed.

Which turns this feature off for all applications. What if you want only to disable it for one or several, but not for all?
leroydouglas points to a cnn article that talks about locking directories under ~/Library/Saved Application State or by creating a 'template' (predefining a startup state) and then locking the saved state directory created when you quit, but apparently Preview doesn't save its state that way, at least I don't have a Preview 'saved state' directory in ~/Library/Saved Application State.
I found how to do it in the Terminal here

HT2506 Why does Preview also open previously viewed files when I double click on a file to view it?

Trying to figure out how to stop it from doing this - finding it irritating - or is it a 'feature'?
Already checked the preferences menu, but no luck

Ha! Just figured it out, thanks to checking the discussions - in the System Prefs, under 'General', unchecked 'restore windows when quitting & re-opening apps' & that seems to have done the trick

I have previously viewed movies and TV Shows on my IPHONE that I want to delete and free up space so that I can buy new movies/TV show to watch. How do I get them off my IPHONE and my ITUNES account?

Previously Firefox would show a number at the end of the file name (renaming the file by adding a number) showing that I had already downloaded a file at least once before. Recently that isn't happening. How do I get that feature back?

I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Hi Pusman,
While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
Does that helps with your query?

Rahul

Hi rdfnra,
Please check the Page Display preferences (File > Preferences/Acrobat > Preferences) and make sure that Show Large Images is selected. If sounds as though this PDF may have been created from a scanned document, and this preference is disabled.
Please let us know how it goes.

Dreamweaver 2014.1 Live view is showing old version of file

I'm running Window 7 (64-bit) and upgraded from Dreamweaver CC 2014 to 2014.1 a couple days ago. Since I'm using fluid grid design view is not available, so when I view my files in Live view Dreamweaver (DW) is showing very old versions when I edit some files (not all). When I use split view the code is correct, but it doesn't correspond at all to what I'm seeing in Live View. The code window shows the current version of the file and the live view window shows an old version. Any idea? Also, live view in this new version seems to be extremely slow.
Another question is, how can I re-install the old version (CC 2014)? I tried to uninstall and re-install, but the install automatically installs 2014.1 and doesn't give an option. Thus far, I am very unhappy with what I've seen so far in 2014.1 and would really like to back off 2014 to speed things up.
Thanks much

Hi Preran.
I seam to have the same problem on a Mac. Also Live view keeps crashing and linked to Adobe BC.
If the live view crashes then the live view is showing an older version on the CSS file until I do a refresh. Its been driving me Nuts!
Also the CSS file is no longer automatically uploading to Adobe CC...
So I really could do with a solution for me to run on CC 2014.0 Please.
I am a subscriber to CC.

Quicktime doesn't open AVI file with Perian installed

I have installed Perian but Quicktime X doesn't open AVI files for a week. I have repaired permissions. But Quicktime only plays the AVI file if I reboot the Mac. VLC always plays the file. The AVI codec is XVID. Quicktime doesn't play other formats such as FLV. I have deleted .plist files, com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist. I have found other files(com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.0GH3f31, com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.0h9MBzV...) that I deleted also. Any idea? Thanks

And now ... surprisingly I view AVI files in Quicktime without Perian.
QT has very limited AVI support (file type and a few older codecs) built in. Most common codecs use by Windows users, however, require the additional support provided by Perian. If the AVI files are now playing in QT without Perian, then simply check the Inspector, Properties, or Info window to see which codecs are in your AVI file and you should be able to tell if they are among those supported "natively" by QT. Also note that this regaining of the ability to play your files may indicate a component conflict of some sort may have existed previously.

Quicktime will not open video files - QuickTime couldn't parse it: -2048

I just purchased a new Sony handycam so that I can make movies using iMovie. However, iMovie will not import the files from my camera and although the files show up on the drive as Quicktime MPEG files (with suffix MPG) neither Quicktime or iMovie will open the files. iMovie gives an error message saying "Quicktime couldn't parse it: -2048"
Can anyone help - I really want to open the files in iMovie so that I can make videos and I'm worried that my expensive new Handycam is a worthless purchase!
Thanks in advance...

Your files are MPEG-2 and you need additional software to view them in QuickTime:

and a different application than iMovie to convert the audio portion:

Renderfarm error: Pre-Flight Error: Unable to import previously rendered file

I have an error message I am receiving during network rendering on a renderfarm, and was hoping for some help. The error is this: "Pre-Flight Error: Unable to import previously rendered file."
Here is my setup and some details:
The user makes a comp, and adds it to the render queue set to render as a quicktime movie file. Then they run a script which precomps everything and sets it to render as a image sequence with "Skip existing files" checked. This comp also has a post-render action set to import & replace usage. After this comp is rendered, it gets pulled back into the project and the original render item starts rendering the movie file using the previously rendered image sequence as it's only layer.
This project gets saved to a server where our render nodes are watching the folder. All the render nodes pick up the project and proceed to render the image sequence. Then, after they are done, 1 machine will pick up the second render item and begin rendering the image sequence into the final quicktime movie.
All of this goes smoothly about 90% of the time. However, in some cases an error shows up in the watch folder html page for the 2nd render item (the one converting the image sequence to the movie). The error says "Pre-Flight Error: Unable to import previously rendered file." After the error occurs, no machines will start rendering the project.
My first guess is that the render engine on one machine somehow skips rendering the image sequence comp, and then tries to render the quicktime movie comp and fails because the image sequence has not yet been rendered. However, I can't figure out why After Effects would skip rendering the first comp.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks for the help, and let me know if you have any more questions about the setup,
Adam

Well, you should get used to the fact that it's simply gone... Just looking at your screenshot makes me grind my teeth. From delayed writing of files to fragmentation in user folders to Windows doing obscure things this could be anything, but seriously, saving important files on the desktop? That is simply sloppy data management. There is no other way to say it. Read up on what proper file naming, incremental saving and backups are good for and why keeping work files separate and away from your user home directories is actually a quite simple, yet effective concept to avoid exactly that kind of issue.

QuickTime using PlayList with OMF file

I have a OMF video file. It is composed of many individual video clips combined together as a OMF video file.   I could get a playlist from our video creater that has the information of each of the video files (like the timestamp information where the start and end of a video file).   I am sure I am using the correct terminology, but I think the idea is there.
I will be given a playlist for a different filtering of the OMF video file.   I want the ability to tell the video player which video clip to show.
I believe Quicktime is able to view OMF files, but I don't know if it can handle playlist, etc.
The OMF video file will be download to the iPad and I was planing on using power point to show a video for each of the slides.   Each of the slide is part of the playlist that I want to show.   So for Slide #1, I will program in the power point the controls to start the iPad player and instruct which playlist to play.
I appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks,

QuickTime version 10.3 found in Mavericks drops support for dozens of legacy formats and codecs.
The same files will work in the free version of QuickTime Player 7 without the need of a Pro upgrade.
If your registration shows as "invalid" then 99% of the time the name and number fields did not exactly match that found in the email.

ITunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved? What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?

Many people have the same problem. However, there is little or nothing readily available to users. This problem has existed for two or more years. Does anyone have anything to offer about this disturbing problem?

Thanks for the suggestion kcell. I've tried both versions
9.0.115 and 9.0.124 and both fail with the policy permission error.
I also tried with and without your crossdomain.xml file but
with the same result. It looks like this file is intended for URL
policy, instead of socket policy. Recently Adobe separated the two.
When I run with the files installed on my dev PC, it does
work, which makes sense because the flash player isn't loaded from
an unknown domain.
I did get one step closer. If a crossdomain.xml in the server
root exists and the socketpolicy file is loaded from the app folder
then the first two warnings disappear. The logs now show:
OK: Root-level SWF loaded:
https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf
OK: Policy file accepted: https://192.168.2.5/crossdomain.xml
OK: Policy file accepted:
https://192.168.2.5/trunk/socketpolicy.xml
Warning: Timeout on xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:843 (at 3
seconds) while waiting for socket policy file. This should not
cause any problems, but see
http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files
for an explanation.
Warning: [strict] Ignoring policy file with incorrect syntax:
xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993
Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993 by
requestor from https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf is denied due to
lack of policy file permissions.
Which basically says, everything is okay, but you stay out
anyway.
PS: I found the XML schema files here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_02.html
and the socket policy schema:
http://www.adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFileSocket.xsd.
UPDATE: When serving up the policy file on port 843 using the
example perl script then the socket connection seems to be accepted
and the connect succeeds. After that flex hangs trying to logon to
the IMAP server.

How to locate quicktime screen cap temporary save files?

I've been using Quicktime's Screencap option, and saving the finished products to an external hard drive, but when i began to record another screen cap, the video stopped at 13 minutes and claimed there was not enough storage left on my macbook. Firstly i was confused because I had only been saving the videos to my external hard drive, and secondly because I had run out of space. After checking the storage space left on my macbook pro, there was now about half of the space taken up by "Other", i could only assume that Quicktime had been making quicksaves while recording. If that is the case then I would need help finding the quicksave files.

In safari, go to the top menu and select view, then show downloads. The window that pops up has a magnifying glass by eacy download to show it's location.

Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep?

Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep? Regardless of whether I am using iMessage from my iPhone or iPad, when I open my MBP, I get attacked by Messages notifications for iMessages I've obviously already seen or responded to. Is there a way to change this? Are others having this issue?
Additionally, previous iMessages sent or received from those devices sometimes don't populate into the Messages window on the MBP. I haven't been able to identify when or what causes this; sometimes it just doesn't seem to work (and I verified that the messages sent/received were, in fact, iMessages and not SMS).
Thanks - any help or insight would be appreciated!

First you need to determine what laptop model you have; then we can help you. A Mac Book Pro cannot run OS 9.1.
With your Mac booted up, click on the  at the far left of the menu. Then click on About This Mac. It will show what version of OS you are running. What is the version?
A MBP will be running something like version 10.x.
If you are running version OS 9.x, you don't have a Mac Book Pro.
 Cheers, Tom
