Quicktime 7 is finally fixed in Safari

Thank You Craig Seeman!
I have been puzzled by the behavior
I noticed in Safari since I upgraded to Tiger (Craig's article can be found here: Craig Seeman, "QuickTime 7 bug (logo w/question mark) - workaround", 01:59pm Jul 4, 2005 CDT ) I followed the instructions and everything is fine now. I was wondering if alot of other people had had or still have the problem, so I thought I'd put this in the Safari Discussion.
Hope this helps anyone that might have this problem,
TC

It has helped some who have had this problem. Try dragging the QuickTime webplugin folder to the desktop in case you need to put it back and see.

Quicktime "plug-in failure" in safari 8.0.5

I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 and get a quicktime "plug-in failure" in safari 8.0.5 when playing mov files at http://www.time-science.com/timescience/timelapse.asp

So it's something unique to my setup
I wonder how to fix it.
Tried uninstalling adobe flash, restarting and reinstalling as I noticed that idea in some web searching
This is what I get for the "Flowers":
Sorenson Video 3 is a legacy codec that is only passively supported under Yosemite. QT 7 and the QT browser plug-in can still play this content. However, QT 7 Pro can only export to this compression format if the codec is turned back on by the user. (I.e., active QT export support of the "legacy" codecs was turned off under Lion.) Further, Sorenson Video 3 is neither QT X or QL "playback" compatible but can be converted natively by QT Player v10.4 if desired.
Not sure if your error message is supposed to indicate that the QT browser plug-in is missing or is simply corrupted. Problem could also be in the way the web site is coded to play the files but I am not a site programmer so it would do me little good to examine the code use. On the other hand, I do already have a "Test" web site set up for a user trying to get his files to play in an older version of Safari so I added test pages for the Sorenson files from the site you referenced. See if you can play them from my alternate test pages. If they play there, then the problem may be site, otherwise, if they still don't play, you may need to reinstall the browser software.

A FINAL FIX
Posted: Oct 16, 2006 7:45 AM in response to: Tagliente Reply Email
After much arguing on the phone with apple support, I got a straight answer. The problems are due to old iTunes software and virus protection.
1) Uninstall iTunes, Apple Update, and Quicktime using the 'Add/Remove' software option in the control panel.
2) Open your program files folder (Found in My Computer in the C: drive)
3) Delete any folders that may be left such as iTunes, ipod, Apple Updater, Quicktime)
4) Download the iTunes 7 install package from the apple website (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/). Be sure to save the file to your desktop.
5) Exit your web browser
6) Turn off all virus protection software. This includes firewalls, spyware protection systemguards, etc. The “how” to do this depends on your virus software. For example, with McAfee open the Security Center and click Computer and Files. Click configure. The new window has the options to turn things off. Turn everything off.
7) Install iTunes 7 (includes Quicktime [needed for iTunes])
8) Restart
9) Turn virus protection and firewalls back on
10) Plug in iPod and you’re golden!
This worked for me and I no longer get any messages about iPod in recovery mode or unable to update iPod.
Good luck.

By the way, I think I clearly stated in my post that when trying to update my nano from version 1.2 to 1.3 (after being prompted to do so from launching itunes 7.0.1.8) it will not perform the suggested update offering up a cryptic message about the files on my ipod being in use by another program.
Now, if you have any constructive ideas, it would be appreciated...

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

Safari will no longer open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files.

Safari will no longer open. It just goes back to my desktop. When I right click on the safari icon in my dashboard it says it is open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files. Some of my emails from trusted sites won't open and does the same thing.
I upgraded my original system from 10.4.11 to I believe 10.6. something about a year or so ago. I thought about re installing my safari app but when I go to open anything connected to safari my screen goes back to the desktop. I cant open any files that I have on my desktop that I set up through safari, like my banking program. Prior to changing system preference to safari default I was able to open those files and now I can't get into change it back. Can you guide me through this?
Thanks,
Betty

Try running the 10.6.8 combo update.
10.6.8 Combo Updater
System Preferences or Safari Preferences?
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

How to Link equipments(PM) in a Settlement from AUC to Final Fixed Asset

Hi All,
I need your help with an integration problem between AA, CO and PM.
This is the scenario:
We are buying equipments that should not be capitaliazed until deliver them to the customer so to support this we do the following flow:
1. Create an sheduling agreement for the whole year with and AUC and a statistical Internal Order.
2. We create a 'Good receipt' for purchasing equipments(PM) againts the scheduking agreement. At this time we store the equipments in a specific storage location and those equipments are not capitalized. The equipments are create automatically.
3. We deliver the equipments to the customer, not necessarily all purchased equipments.
4. Monthly we have to capitalize the equipments that were delivered to the customer so we create a final fixed asset and execute the settlement of the AUC againts that final fixed.(First AIAB to create settlement rule and then AIBU to distribute)
Problem:
When we execute AIAB for the step 4 we can not link the equipments with the final fixed asset, in the settlement rule we have to calculate manually the percentage or the amount that shoul be settle according to the equipments that were deliver to the customer, but we would like to:
1. Link the equipments to the final fixed asset.
2. Update the material and quantity in the FI posting line item.
3. Update the quantity field in the final fixed asset master record automatically.
Do you have any idea?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please check in the screen layout for Asset Master. I think the equipment field is available.

Mac OSX NOT GETTING IP ADDRESS BECAUSE OF THE DHCP(FINAL FIX)

You may get some errors when trying to connect to the wireless connection.
LIST OF PROBLEMS:
-Auto-Assigned IP with 255.255.0.0 Subnet Mask and a 169.x.x.x IPV4 Address
-Unable to renew the DHCP beacuse the DHCP doesn't send the IPV4 address to your iMac/MacBook
-No IP
FINAL FIX:
-Log to the Router Configuration page inserting the default gateway address in your browser bar(It should be 192.168.1.1 though my default gateway is 192.168.0.1.....nevermind).
-Go to DHCP tab and make sure that DHCP is ENABLED
-Go to Wireless Settings and set Channel to "1" and the Wireless mode to 802.11 bg(In some routers it's 802.11 bg mixed)instead of 802.11 bgn or 802.11 n.(IN SOME ROUTERS THERE'S ONLY .11 and not 802.11....that's the same s**t though!)
-Reboot your router
-Shut down your machine and unplug the power cables
-When done press once the power button
-Re-Plug the power cables and turn on your MacBook/iMac
-Go to Network Settings,Advanced settings,TCP/IP and set IPV4 address to DHCP
SOFTWARE FIX(FIREWALL CONFLICT):
-Disable ANY non-Apple firewall or network management application such as mDNS responder,etc..

Great work, nice info, thanks!

Codec help needed - Quicktime to Final Cut

I am having a problem in my workflow using Keynote, QuickTime and Final Cut Pro.
I’m trying to create some presentations in Keynote, export them to Quicktime, then import them into Final Cut Pro and then export them into various formats.
I want to have the ability to export these to DVD in the highest quality possible. I will also be exporting them for web streaming, downloading and to play on iPods in the future.
My understanding is that bigger at the top is better and then I can always export them into smaller formats. Correct? Which leads me to believe I have to use either of the first two options below.
Keynote slides can start in 1920 x 1080, 1680 x 1050, 1280 x 720, 1024 x 768 and a few small formats. These will export in the same resolution to Quicktime.
After I import them into Final Cut I believe I have to (1) adjust the Sequence settings and (2) in the Audio/Video setting, adjust the Capture and Sequence presets.
I originally was trying to work with 1680 x 1050 but was then told that makes it more time consuming when rendering and exporting my video.
The proportions are fine with me at 1920 x 1080. Should I use that?
But whatever you recommend to start off with, then what do I adjust in my Sequence Settings and in my Audio/Video settings for Capture and Sequence presets?
Thanks!

Thank you!
I did what you said, exported at 1920 x 1080 in Apple Pro Res 422. I had to increase the fps back to 60, as the transitions were jagged at 24fps.
The above looks great when I view it in Quicktime.
I imported the above Quicktime file into FCP. FCP did select the settings as above.
When I exported with "current settings", the quality wasn't good.
I tried exporting with Apple Pro Res 422 60i - this wasn't very good.
I tried exporting with Apple Pro Res 422 24p - this wasn't very good.
I tried exporting with Apple Pro Res 422 30p - this was the best. It wasn't as good as the original export from Keynote, pretty good, but noticeably different from the original export.
Is this normal, that I will loose resolution even at the same settings? Or am I still missing something?
I also tried the same thing starting with Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) 1920 x 1080. I had similar results.

Airport Drops and Freezes---- Finally Fixed!

Ever since I bought my MBP in July, 2009, I have had trouble with total freezes and airport drops.
The fixes by Apple:
1. New hard drive, battery, keyboard, logic board
2. Problem persisted-- new logic board
3. Problem persisted-- heat sensor was missing the sensor part
4. Problem persisted-- Genius said it was 3rd party software
5.Problem persisted-- local Apple certified repair shop had no idea
6. Problem Persisted-- in the meantime I had done several erase and install. It froze up every time I installed SL
7. Problem persisted and I took it to Apple Store last week in one last final try. After hours of testing, it froze for them. They ordered new hard drive and logic board. Then the tech noticed it freeze and dropped the internet. He checked one of the logs and saw that the airport card had lost power just before the freeze.
He replaced the airport card and it is finally fixed-- the first time since July, 2009.
So if you have freezes and airport drops, be sure to check the airport. The airport was never changed when the logic board, et.al. were replaced.

Wow! I would think replacing the airport would be the first step in this madness.

HOORAY!! Apple finally fixed QT!!

Just downloaded and installed the latest software update for QuickTime and it fixed the previous update issues. The problem was that the video would stall a few seconds into a movie but the audio would continue on.
So if you had this same problem due to the previous QT software update [and I know that there are more than a few here] the fix is 'IN'!!
Download & install the latest QT update and you're back in business
QuickTime™ PRO, Version 7.2.0, Player Version 7.2 (7.2)

Vista - Sleep FINALLY fixed, still annoying Random Shutdowns

Ok, they FINALLY fixed it so the Mac Pro wakes from sleep in Vista RC1 with the recent EFI update, now they need to fix the Random Shutdowns. These occur as if you were telling your system to shutdown, I do not suspect the power supply because it is not an abrupt power loss, it gracefully shuts down, but of-course is annoying as h3ll...
Here's looking forward to the Leopard/Vista releases when all of this should be worked out!
SH
Does Vista RC2 run any better? Have better Bluetooth support?

... well... that was really a (slap in face) help ??
I never tried sleep or hibernate, but I read the latest RTM had some fixes in there regarding better support now for laptops and sleep.
Ignorance is bliss perhaps? or, it is a mixed world? or, there is still software that is not available...
How about, curiosity? that's always been man's greatest strength, too.
Being able to run Windows Vista on Mac Pro must be something even Apple engineers are keep to do and improve on.
Every release for OS X takes a couple updates to be "ready" for use. Long-term that has meant 2-3 updates for the last three+ releases, and each release meant more work for everyone, developer and end user, while "rules" change and hardware and software has to be updated to accommodate those changes. Even good changes are still costly, and some have been costly.
I've lived and survived FIVE releases, $600+ for one machine license, and over a year of that was "1.0" issues all over again. And the same story will get played out next year, too, bet on it.
Some people like to explore linux and alternatives. I have, and while I've never felt linux offered the desktop experience I want, I thought SuSE 6.4 gave OS 8/9 a real run for the money at the time.
Things to Love/Hate about Vista
I can now help my Dad 1200 miles away with his PC Windows w/o needing a PC. I can run multiple VMs. One computer, multiple OSs. VMware, Parallels, CrossOver, as well as native installs.
And maybe, just maybe, a more secure desktop PC will help everyone. However, a really good balanced review might actually be one from ComputerWorld - Vista may make Mac converts of IT folks!
IT folks can support XP/Vista and be running Mac OS X

ACR 4.4 *FINALLY* fixes magenta reds under tungsten light! Yeah!

Adobe has FINALLY fixed the ugly reds that were always too blueish when shooting in tungsten light and correcting the WB! Hurray! Took them 5 years almost! Before 4.4, no matter how much I calibrated by shooting a CC under tungsten and doing it via the book, it never looked correct.
Now can they please do this for the daylight profile as well? 1/2 way there!
I know all about the calibrations and have done them with the CC card, but the reds were always a problem in ACR. Obviously Adobe realized this as well when fixing it in 4.4 for tungsten - they said extreme ends of the color temperature scale.
So IMO, they can also fix the reds (without having users do ridiculous calibrations that ALWAYS yield negative hues for red and a LOT of saturation for RED) in daylight!
Pretty please!

Hi Thomas,
I went back to look at the tungsten/available light photos, and most are in the mid 2000Ks. The reds look spot on to me with the 4.4 profiles.
Here's a shot (saved/embedded as sRGB) of a CC taken with a 1DMKIII and then processed in ACR (just WB correction) with the 4.1 and 4.4 profiles. Look at the difference. I'm going by look - not numbers. The 4.4 looks better/more accurate on the reds and other patches too. This is very apparent when shooting clothes, real life objects, etc. that have those hues. 4.4 looks great. In this example it's 2400K +3 (the only ACR adjustment was to WB click on the 2nd patch on the bottom row - 2nd from left). Is this not what was meant by the fix at the extreme ends in the 4.4 release notes? But I also understand the each camera has a 2 profiles - one of which is tungsten. And until now, I had to fuss with the reds. Now I don't! Love it!

Here's another example from the 5D. I know the hue of the pillows since I own them :) 4.4 looks accurate and 3.3 way off. Look at the EXIF to see the differences. Again, only correction in ACR was click WB.

Exporting from a quicktime from Final Cut Express HD

Can anyone tell me the best settings to export a Quicktime from Final Cut Express HD maintaining the best quality but getting the file size as small as possible?

It depends on what you want to export to/for. iDVD, streaming web ... what's your target use?

When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes!

When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes about 3/4ths the way through the 12 hour process. I'm saving it to a La Cie 500 GB disc by fire wire. It's worked before but after I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence, I haven't been able to export it and it won't play straight at anything bigger than 25% size. Please if you have any advice I won't forget it. I'm trying to export as ProHD 1060i.

I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence
How, exactly? And what were the settings of your new HD sequence? DVCPRO HD 1080 60i?
