Quicktime 7.6 won't open at when clicking on a file.

I have Windows XP with Quicktime 7.6. My Quicktime has worked on this computer just fine for ages. I just played a .mov file literally less than 2 hours ago. Then, ten minutes after it worked I tried a different movie by double-clicking the file and nothing happened. I tried a different movie, and then I tried the movie that worked originally today - nothing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled - nothing.
Just to clarify, when I say it does nothing, I mean I double-click the .mov file, I get the hour-glass for a second or two, and that's it. After about 5 minutes I'll finally get a "...encountered a problem and needs to close..." box. If I try to restart my computer during that 5 minutes, I get a "!!QTOCONTROLWINDOW!!" encountered a problem. Click 'End Now'... AAAHHHH!!!
I have found that if I double-click the Quicktime icon on my desktop, wait for a blank Quicktime window to open and THEN double-click the .mov file, it will open... and likewise if I double-click the Quicktime icon and browse for a .mov file it works, but I don't want to have to do that every time I want to watch a movie.
Someone please help. Thanks!

You are using either the built-in Mozilla PDF Viewer or the built-in Chrome PDF VIewer and have a LiveCycle Designer XFA form being viewed. You need to configure the web browser accordingly.

There are are probably registry entries available for setting this up in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry hive for both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, but I don't know them and have not seen them posted on any vendor site. Then again, I haven't looked either.

Thumbnail pics won't open up when clicked on in Firefox. This is happening on more than one website.

When you click on a small picture on a website (i.e. Facebook) a new page opens up with the comments showing but the picture does not show. This has also happened on some other websites I have been on too. This problem has been happening for months to me and I downloaded Google Chrome to get around the problem.

You may have accidentally clicked the 'Block Images' item in the right click context menu while trying to save an image.
Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content >Load Images >Exceptions
* See: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Content+panel Options window - Content panel]
A way to see which images are blocked is to click the Site Identification icon (favicon/image on the left end of the location bar) and click the "More Information" button.
*The Security tab of the Page Info window (also accessible via Tools > Page Info).
*Go to the Media tab of that Page Info window.
*Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove the check mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Adobe Reader won't open automatically when clicking on online form link

I created a form in LiveCycle Designer, reader-enabled it, and then it was uploaded to a university website for students to access to apply for graduation from an advanced degree program. However, when students click the link, the dreaded "Please wait...If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. [...]" appears. In the top right corner of the browser, a little button that says "Open with different viewer" is also displayed, which has to be pressed and then Adobe Reader has to be manually selected to open the form...the problem is that students are not aware of the button in the corner and simply believe the form is not working properly. To avoid the many frantic student calls as they get the "error" message, I was wondering if there is a way to upload a form to default to the Adobe Reader, without having to set this on every machine individually. I don't know much about the website portion of this project, so any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. If this is something that could be set on the form end itself (although I am not sure how you would), please also let me know. I have attached the screen shots with the first error message and the button in the top right and the selection for the viewer that comes up after pressing the button (once you select the reader in this step, it opens just fine). If there is any additional information I should provide to solve this problem, just let me know.
The form is linked online at http://www.uccs.edu/Documents/graduateschool/CORRECT%20Application%20for%20Admission%20to% 20Candidacy%208_22_14.pdf
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the issue.

I am trying to install a trail for InDesign CC to finish a project soon. I downloaded Creative Cloud, the app is in my folder, but it won't open and when I try to download InDesign an error pops up saying Adobe is trying to install malware.

I just installed Creative Cloud in order to download a trial for InDesign. I have the app icon for CC, but it won't open. When it was in my toolbar (on a mac) it just sat there loading for about 15 minutes. I tried restarting it but it won't open at all now. I also tried downloading an InDesign trail and it won't open at all. When I click for it to download an error message pops up saying Adobe is trying to instal malware and asks me if I want to continue. When I say yes, it doesn't do anything. I have a brochure that needs to go to the client by 4pm today! EEK!

Sydneybling it does sound like your security software is interfering with the process of installing and utilizing your Adobe Creative applications. I would recommend that you try temporarily disabling your security software and utilizing the directions listed at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html to install InDesign CC.

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it does then your current library has been damaged and should be repaired: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

My iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon nothing happens

My iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon nothing happens. It doesn't bounce or anything. When i plug my iPhone into my macbook nothing happens either. I recently updated my operating system to the Yosemite. Everything worked fine until i updated it. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?

Program folder? In general backing up and restoring application folders is not going to work. Windows programs should be installed using the appropriate installation programs.

Hey KEBENNETT,
It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally.
I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:

OK, fixed it. Found that iPhoto is now BACK in the App store.
Found iPhoto app in Finder and dragged it to Trash.
Downloaded iPhoto from App store and all now back working again.
Didnt expect to find iPhoto in App store as last time I looked it wasn't available.

InDesign files won't open with double click

InDesign files won't open with double click on my MacPro with Snow Leopard although they do open from external hard drives when I double click.

Thank you very much,you were correct, it appears the mouse clicks were set too fast. Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to answer my question.

CS3 InDesign won't open a CS2 In Design .INX file

CS3 InDesign won't open a CS2 In Design .INX file.
I sent my graphic designer an .INX file created on CS2
and he got an error message and said he could not open.
He said it is not possible.
He lost the job - because he didn't want to investigate further.
I can't imagine ADOBE leaving this problem unsolved!
What do I do??

I don't recall that. I can visualise the situation, but then I would expect it to create the same lost feature problems as encountered in opening with an earlier version. So there would still be a risk that the file would lose something in translation.
And then again, if a CS2 plug-in has been used and is required to open the file, I would expect the translation into XML to ignore anything that can't be translated, and for the depleted file still to open in CS3.

Acrobat X won't open pdfs by clicking on link

After Acrobat X has one or two files already open in it, clicking on additional files, they fail to open. I have to do a "file open" then search for the pdf file then click on it to get it to open. This is time consuming, especially when the pdf is an attachment. You have to go through the steps of saving the attachment someplace (maybe I don't want to save it after reading it) then open the file.
I also am having problems printing to a pdf. Most of the time after saving, the pdf will open it so I can see what it looks like. Other times it saves it and then I have to manually open Acrobat and then open the file.
These two problems have only begun occuring since installing Acrobat X. Previous versions worked fine.
