Quicktime 7.6.6 under 10.6.8 too long to open only on one account

I have a Mac Proc with OSX 10.6.8.
I have downloaded Quicktime 7.6.6 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923 and installed it in the Applications-Utilities folder.
The application works fine when opened from my User account.
But, when I open Quicktime from my Admin account, the application takes 3 to 5 minutes to open, finder says that the application is not responding and the dock moves laterally signaling that there is a problem.
I should be most grateful if you could please help me to solve this problem.

Really no one?

How many Apple devices can connect to one account? If I get 2 iPads for my home can they get apps under the same account or different accounts?

I am wanting to purchase an iPad for myself and kids but I am wondering if they need to be setup under a different Apple account or just one. What about my iPhone that is under that account? So how many devices can be linked to an account before it is maxed out?

I'm not sure what the total limit is (or if there is one), but two iPads and one iPhone is no problem - you only need one account and you can have the same apps on all three devices if you want without any issues (I have an iPad, iPhone and iPod without problems). There was a thread a few weeks ago about a newspaper app (though it could have been a magazine), where the issue could only be downloaded to one device, but that is the only time I've heard about that limit.

I have two separate itune accounts under two different email accounts and would like to combine them under one account. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?

If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs. Can I merge them into one account under one ID?

I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs. Can I merge them into one account under one ID? I have purchased music and video in both.

No, it is not possible to merge accounts. Choose one as the primary account and keep a local backup of all purchases so you don't get into the mess where you encounter a 90 day freeze on re-downloading past purchases from multiple accounts.

I ended up having two id's, one being my original when first getting into itunes and the other came when I opened a me account. I have purchases under the original id. How do I merge the old account into the new account

Sorry, but it is not possible to merge two Apple IDs/iTunes Store accounts.

Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

It should be in the Users/ Shared folder.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Note the option to check and repair Library Permissions

I have two Creative Cloud accounts, occurred by accident, I wish to merge them and have all my details and licenses under one account, how do I do that?

This is due to the different changes Adobe has gone through and unfortunately I used different emails at certain times.

Under one Adobe ID you can have one CC only,if by accident you have purchased two CC under one account, it needs to be cancelled & refunded, please contact Adobe Support at

I don't know of there is anyone than can fix this age old Apple problem. Does anyone know how to retrieve apps under an old Apple ID when the email used for that account no longer exists & I can't remember the password? After speaking with Apple Acct. Security, I got the security Q right but my birthday was wrong! They wanted the serial number from my phone that was 3 iPhones ago! Seriously??!!
Any updated way to work around this? No Apple people can correct it.
Thanks,
Joe

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

They cannot be tracked unless connected to WiFi.

There is no problem about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and another for iCloud and its email and syncing facilities. This way you can all use the same iTunes account but have separate emails and calendars etc.

My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem. I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all her apps with my apps on my iPad. I then set myself up as a new user on our computer and tried to sync. I now get the error that my iPad is synced to another library. How can I start over without erasing all my data on the iPad?

Go back to her login. Unless you deliberately erased apps, they should all be there, both yours and hers! Then, you need to set up each iPad separately. You will notice that they have separate names for that very purpose.
There is no problem with multiple Apple IDs on the same iTunes on the same computer except... Apps are permanently associated with the ID that was originally used to obtain them. If you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and you're logged into the "wrong" ID, you must log out and back in again.
On the bright side, you can configure either or both iPads to sync with apps and music and movies, etc. from either or both IDs. Further, if you choose to update the apps from the iPads themselves, there is no need to log out/in. The device handles that. All you need is the correct password. In my case, I use the same password for both IDs to make things easier.

Quicktime only play one file at a time

I would like to use QuickTime player to play mp3s. when I play a file and then open another it opens another instance of Quicktime and both files play at the same time.
Is there a terminal command to only have one instance of quicktime at a time?

Is there a terminal command to only have one instance of quicktime at a time?
Not a big Terminal user, but as far as I know, the answer would be "No!" Nor does the QT Player (QT X) have any preferences that would help here.
I would like to use QuickTime player to play mp3s. when I play a file and then open another it opens another instance of Quicktime and both files play at the same time.
With the QT Player (QT X) the specified media player, you have three basic options:
Create a reference playlist or pseudo-playlist,
Create a standalone "album" file, or
Create a an Automator script that will play any group of folders and/or individual files dropped to it.
For instance, if you have QT 7 install on your system and is is keyed for "Pro" use, then you can use it to create a "reference" (pseudo-playlist) or "standalone" (album" file that will play the content you add in the order you add it to the player. The "reference" file is very small since it only tells the QT Player to play the source files located else where on your system but is not, generally speaking, "transportable" since files are easily "orphaned" by inexperienced users. On the other hand, the "standalone" contains all of the original data stored internally and can be move or shared across systems and media devices having compatible media players. Both types of files are fixed with respect to both the content and its playback order.
An automator "drop" script works like the playlist or pseudo-playlist file described above but has the advantage of allowing the user to grab and combination of files and/or folders and play them sequentially in the order (I believe) in the order they are selected. Its major disadvantage is that the user must select, drag, and drop the set of files and/or folders each time he or she wishes to play the content whereas playlists, "pseudo-playlists," and "albums" play the same files in the same order each time they are opened.
Most users prefer an alternative solution—that of using an alternative player. Most use iTunes since it also "manages" the media content. Music albums are, in and of themselves, playlists. However, users can also create smart or manual custom playlists as desired. These playlists are "reference" playlists by nature but can be exported, burned, streamed, or sync'd to mobile devices if desired by the user and thus, to my mind, offers the most available options to the average user.
Another alternative would be to use a third-party media player having "playlist" capabilities. One popular example would be the VLC media player. Folders, files, albums, etc. can be dropped to the app player window and automatically begin playing in the order dropped. Further, the playlist can be saved as an M3U playlist file that can be recalled by VLC (or iTunes) later if desired. Unfortunately these M3U files are not QT X or QT 7 compatible. (NOTE: The M3U file, like the QT 7 "reference" file mentioned above, merely contains pointers to data stored elsewhere on your system and any change to the relative navigation path can orphan the resource data.)
