Launching Quicktime always opens multiple files

After upgrading to Lion, Quicktime always re-opens all of the movies I've opened in previous sessions. For instance, if Quicktime has already opened 15 movies, it will re-open those 15 plus the new one. The only way I've found to open a single file when launching QT is to manually close each file I've opened and clear the 'Open Recent' list before quitting the porevious QT session. If the 'Open Recent' list is empty upon launch, it doesn't open the previous movies. It is happening with every file type, including WMV via flip4mac. And it's happening on all three of my Macs !!! I did uninstall flip4mac and SliverLight but QT still behaves this way. Seems to be a problem with QT itself. QT isnlt having problems playing the files, though. It's working fine in that regard, including playing WMV files via flip4mac (which I reinstalled). VLC and other media players still open files at they should. I'm quite surprised to not see any discussion on this anywhere so maybe it's a problem unique to my Macs. Anyone have any ideas? What am I missing here? Thanks, folks.

Is there some way to prevent this stupid prctise?
There may or may not be. If there is, I have yet to find it. (I'm still in the "familiarization" stage.) If there isn't, it would make a good enhancement request, especially if it could be turned off/on by application.
I often open several files, then quit the app rather than closing each individual file. This is counter-productive.
I tend to close players after use, so this doesn't really bother me. (On the other hand, I make a lot "what if" saves and am not really fornd of the idea of a new "auto-save" feature confusing me between my project saves and its saves.)
Oh, well... To each his (or her) own.

Itunes is not opening but Quicktime is opening.

Hello,
I have been searching these discussion boards for a solution to my problem. I went through all the troubleshooting tips and still found no solution.
Itunes won't open either manually or when I plug in my iphone 3GS. Quicktime always opens though.
I have Windows 7 and all my drivers are up to date. I've shut down both firewalls and antivirus software. I've discovered it is a system wide problem as creating a new profile and trying to open itunes does not work. I have deleted itunes configuration files. I have turned off everying in Startup but itunes and quicktime and turned off all non Microsoft services in msconfig. I've removed all temp files from the computer and internet caching (over a gigabyte of info removed). None of it has fixed the problem.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to go next? Thanks in advance.

Any help would be appreciated.

"Always Open with" check box forces you to use quicktime player, can't change it to VLC. Any help or Apple is really trying to take over???

When I Open an .avi movie with VLC and check the box "always open with", a dialog shows up saying that I can't change the item "...avi" to always open with the selected application. The item is either locked or damaged, or in a folder you don't have permission to modify (error code - 54)
So in summary I can't use VLC to always open .avi files. The file is in a folder that I created in my desktop with all permissions and working perfect (not damaged) I am the admin and owner of the Laptop and file.
The same happens when I check the box for .mov or .mp4 files but with them I don't even get the dialog box with the massage, it just opens directly with vlc and when you think it went through, I double click to open the file and it opens with quicktime. No matter how many times I check the box "Always open with" It will always open with quicktime.
On my other laptop, an old Sony Vaio with Windows 7 I never had this kind of stress. Why does this kind of thing only happens with Apple?
Can anyone help?

Cant get quicktime to always open media files

I'm a very new Mac OS user so forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere or I'm just dumb and don't know what I'm doing.
I'm trying to get some media files (WAV for example) to always open with QuickTime instead of iTunes. When I do Open With, Other, and select QuickTime and check Always Open With, it only changes that files association, not every WAV file.
When I right click and do Get Info, the Change All button never un-grays. As before, I can only change the association of that one file.
The QuickTime panel is set properly but I believe that only refers to the plugin. I've looked thru iTunes but can only find a button to make it the default player, not a way to un-make it the default.
Any suggestions??
Zach

Hello Zach:
Rather than me put you through hoops, I suggest you post in the Quicktime forum:

There are people there that are expert (I am not one) with the QT application.

P.S. There are no dumb questions, but many dumb answers.

Quicktime Player opens off center and to large

Hello,
The QuickTime player always opens to large and off center on my screen. I have changed preferences in the options to every setting possible but nothing works. Using Windows 8. My windows 7 machine behaves exactly the same. I am running the Free version of QuickTime. I do video editing so I must have QuickTime in order to do my work. I have many videos with transparency created with the Animation codec. The Windows player cannot play them, if it would I would not need the QuickTime player at all.When I click the fullscreen button at the top right hand corner of the player it corrects itself but I must first slide the player to the left to get access to the button which is offscreen .I should not need to do this. Thanks to anyone that can help. This is a very irritating thing to deal with.

"Always open with" option for VLC not working

I like to open my .avi files with VLC, but the default is set to Quicktime. So when I right click a .avi file and choose open with, then change the default settings by clicking on 'always open with' and then selecting VLC, it opens with VLC, but the next time I try to open the file, the default application is still Quicktime and it opens in Quicktime.
It's getting frustrating
Didn't have this problem with 10.5.
Thanks.

Somehow certain file types will no longer work with this method, the only software update recently having been the one for Safari 4.0.5. After I did that update, almost all of the file types that I use "Open With... >Change All..." get kicked from QT 7 (what I select) to QT Launcher, which launches any video file in QT X.

Adobe Bridge Always Opens CS2

Recent thunderstorn activity caused several rapid cycling of power on and off to my computer. Now have some change in behavior as how Adobe Bridge and PhotoShop CS2 interact. Previously I could open Bridge (ver. 1.0.4.6) as a standalone app and make my raw edits. Now upon trying to open Bridge, CS2 always opens first and then Bridge. CS2 always remains in the background. I am not able to open Bridge as atandalone. While this is not a major problem, it is certainly different from the workflow to which I was accustomed. I reinstalled Bridge and ACR 3.7 but same symptons present. Should I reinstall CS2? Any ideas??

I never had CS2, but in CS3 open PS and in the preferences section there is an option to "start Bridge on login". I don't recall an option to start PS at startup.
Might check the OS startup preferences.
If all else fails you can reset the preferences for Bridge and Photoshop. Believe for CS2 you have to press and hold down the ctrl + alt + shift while clicking on icon to start program.

How can you get your homage address to open when you open new tabs? My homepage is Google, but my new tabs always open with Yahoo.

On my old computer, all my tabs always opened to what my homepage was set to: iGoogle. Now with my new computer, my homepage is set, but all new tabs open with Yahoo! I've tried looking at tab setting but don't see a place to set it. Help!

The behavior that you have is not the default Firefox behavior, which always opens a blank tab. You will have an add-on that is causing this. Check for any Yahoo related add-ons to see if they have this option. The freeze net assistant add-on is another one that opens Yahoo in a new tab.
There are add-ons that allow you to specify what should appear on a new tab, but these may conflict with the add-on that is opening Yahoo.
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

I have two screen on my PC. Adobe always opens on the second screen. I would like to change this. Ho

I have two screens on my PC Adobe always opens on the second screen. How do I change this to open on the first screen.

It should (should) stay where you close it from, especially if you have it maximized on that monitor. I can't guarantee that because I'm having the same problem with Firefox this morning. I always open it on my secondary montior, and today it will only open on the primary.

Bridge CS4 always opens in the same folder

Since I upgraded to Photoshop CS4, Bridge always opens in the same
folder. It used to open up whatever folder I was working on last.
There must be a setting somewhere to tell Bridge to open the last
visited folder but I can't seem to find it. Any ideas?

Thanks Curt. That helped. I do have Bridge set to automatically start with Windows. I thought that shutting down Windows would cause Bridge to remember the last visited folder since Bridge was closed but I need to right-click on the Bridge icon in the system tray and exit before shutting down Windows. At least now I know why this was happening!

Adobe 9 always opens in a Maximized window

Hi
When opening a link in Internet Explorer 6 that opens a pdf, the pdf file opens in a maximized window. When clicking on a pdf file on the computer it will always open in a maximized window.
I have gone into the properties for Adobe and made sure that it is run in a Normal Window.
I have gone into edit > preferences and have not found any options where you can select whether to open in maximized window.
Is there a way to specifiy whether to open the files in a maximized window or, as in this case, to open the window in normal/restore down view.
Thank you
Charlotte

Charlotte,
I'm having the same problem using IE 8.
Did you ever get a resolution for this? I see no one ever responded to your post.
Thanks!
