Quicktime causing weird FINDER problems

Still running TIger 10.4.11
I downloaded 7.6 Quicktime and now my finder keeps flashing every few minutes. Everything on the Desktop AND the menu bar disappears for a second then comes back.
Anyone else having this problem?
G4 Laptop

It was my stuffit with the quicktime update.
The following link/info worked for me (so far). It wasn't an issue with my users "loss of home directory' as apple suggests - don't mess with that!

Finder constantly quitting and relaunching A few users have reported an issue in which the Finder constantly relaunches after the QuickTime 7.6 update.
If you are experiencing this issue and you have StuffIt installed, launch System Preferences and then open the Stuffit AVR pane, click the Stuffit AVR tab, then click the "stop" button.

Weird Finder Problem

G5, 10.4.11
I was dragging several thousand jpegs off of an SD card to the trash when my finger slipped and I released to the desktop where the finder said "copying 4,123 files to desktop"
Immediately, I tried to stop it, clicking the X did not work so I tried Opt-Command-Escape to force quit the finder, that did not work.
My only option I thouhght at the time was to force shutdown by holding the power button down.
Now, the computer works fine but there are no desktop icons.
If I go to thew desktop folder directly and try to highlight the Jpeg files and put in the trash, it says "some of the items are in use by another application....are you sure you want to remove these" with stop and continue buttons available.
"continue" doesnt work, and "stop" just gets me out of the process.
I have trashed the finder prefs already but that does not have any effect.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks for any and all help

Let's assume all these image files have the same extension - .jpg or .jpeg. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter or paste the following commands:
cd /Users/yourusername/Desktop
sudo rm -rf *.jpg
You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed. Press RETURN after each command line.
If the extensions are .jpeg then change this command to "rm -rf *.jpeg".
This should erase all the image files in the Desktop folder.

Hi, sorry that I don't know how to post image directly, so you have to click the link to go to the picasa site to see the screen captures.
Am having weird display problem with my Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on Macbook Pro 4,1. It's only in Finder item so far, things are randomly mis-displayed, or wiped out completely. If you see my screen shots you will have a clear idea.
Is this a know problem? I don't even know how to search this problem on the web, or in this forum. I never seen such problem on my iMac with Leopard 10.5.7.
Any solutions will be appreciated. Of course, right now restart seems to be the only solution I have.

he general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.

Weird internet problem / ssl connection error, site loads in safari not in firefox or other way around

I really can't figure out this problem. Search the internet tried all kinds of things, nothing help so far.
I have a Macbook Pro (Lion originally installed) running on Mavericks (all latest updates). SSD installed and the DVD tray is replaced by the original HDD.
The laptop wasn't running very smooth anymore so decided to give it a fresh Mavericks install (even though I know it's not really necessary for mac, it helped, everything is much faster except a weird internet problem came up).
After freshly installing Mavericks I couldn't get into my google account anymore, just wouldn't load. Tried Safari (use this normally) and Firefox and Chrome, this last was gave a SSL connection error, both Safari and FF said the website couldn't be loaded because the server didn't respond. For Gmail I use Mailplane which is just stuck on a white page. I tried repairing the keychain, repaired disk and disk permissions, cleaned browsers, turned off firewall and antivirus (Shopos) started in safe mode, checked time settings which were all good. Nothing of this helped. I even ended up creating a usb bootdisk for Mavericks, formatted the disk and reinstalled from the start just Mavericks and nothing else, started Safari, still the same problem. As even this didn't help I figured it's not worth reinstalling all software so put back my backup.
Now I ended up somehow only being able to use Gmail normally in Firefox, Chrome still gives SSL error and Safari can load the inbox, but I can't open any messages. I get the error there is a problem with the connection. If I try in Basic HTML mode it surprisingly does work.
You would say, just use Firefox, finished...but the thing is that sometimes random websites won't load in Firefox, when I load the same site in Safari it works perfectly.
O yes, I also tried the connect to my iPhone and use the Cellular data network, then it's no problem using Gmail in Safari normally. You would say it's a router problem, but I have another Macbook Pro (just one model later running Mountain Lion) this one works perfectly with every browser. Also my iPhone does everyting logged into the WiFi network.
You can understand I really have no clue what's going on here, I don't see any logic. I can only think of a hardware problem in my Macbook, but don't see how that could cause these problems.
I hope someone is ably to help me ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Quicktime 7.5 has problems..... no really

If you look at the number of posts in the forum regarding the problems with 7.5 and the reports from people (such as myself) who fixed the problem by reverting to 7.4, its easy to come to the conclusion that yes there are problems with the latest quicktime (especially on ppc).
generally people are saying their computers played video fine (especially DV) until they installed 7.5 via software update, after that the video became jerky. It seems like lots of the replies to the posts say something like 'it can't be quicktime', 'your machine is too slow' etc.
Obviously it is quicktime (in 99% of cases at least).
I formatted my hard drive and the problems went away, I then installed 7.5 they returned. I then downgraded quicktime via pacifist and the problems went away
Please, please the people who are replying with non-helpful 'your machine is too slow' stop.
Apple messed up, 7.5 obviously wasn't tested properly.

Considering the huge user base for Quicktime and the fact that only a few dozen users have posted here, the problems described in these forums do not appear to be confined to users of either Leopard or Tiger, or either PPC or Intel Macs, but relatively speaking they are few and far between. I have had no problems at all after installing QT 7.5.
it is therefore reasonable to assume that something in either your pre-existing setup or your method of installing updates, are the root causes of whatever problems you are having with QT 7.5 particularly with choppy playback. Out of date plug-ins and add-ons could also be playing a part.
A few things to try but in each case first close all applications and repair permissions.
1 Try opening then closing GarageBand, or launching then quitting the "Audio MIDI Setup" application located in Applications/Utilities. Failing that, go back to Audio MIDI Setup, and under the Audio Devices tab, make sure the Audio Output Format is 44100.0 2ch-16bit.
Restart your Mac.
2 Go to the Library on your main hard disk and find the Internet Plug-Ins folder. Try removing the following files:
QuickTime plugin.plugin
Quicktime plugin.webplugin
Restart your Mac.
Re-install the Quicktime 7.5 update
Go to Home/Library/Receipts and delete the file Quicktime 7.5 pkg.
Download from the Download page on the Apple site the correct version of Quicktime 7.5 for your Mac.
Install it and restart your Mac. Repair permissions.
3 If still no luck, it is time to look carefully at your plug-ins and add-ons. The safest way is to download and re-install all of them. The ones you need in order to see and hear virtually everything the web has to offer are:
RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from (you may need a different site for the US):
http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of all recent Security Updates.
(N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
If none of the foregoing worked, then you should consider and archive and install before repeating all of the above.

Is XML Publisher causing shared memory problem..?

Hi Experts,
Since this week, many of the Requisition/PO are erroring out with the below errors or similar to these errors:
- ORA-04031: unable to allocate 15504 bytes of shared memorny ("sharedpool","PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1APPS","PL/SQL MPCODE","BAMIMA: Bam Buffer")
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called.
-Error Name WFENG_COMMIT_INSIDE
3146: Commit happened in activity/function
'CREATE_AND_APPROVE_DOC:LAUNCH_PO_APPROVAL/PO_AUTOCREATE_DOC.LAUNCH_PO_APPROVAL'
Process Error: ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
Few days back we were getting heap memory error for one of the XML Publisher report.
I heard that XML Publisher requires lot of memory for sources/features,So I want to know whether XML Publisher can be one of the cause for memory problem to occur or this shared memory is not related with XML Publisher sources at all.
Please advice.
Many thanks..
Suman

Hi Robert,
Thanks for your quick reply...
Apps version: 11.5.10.2
database version: 9.2.0.8.0
As I am a beginner in this so dont know much about this.. Can you please guide me on this.
DBAs has increased the shared memory and problem has resolved but here I am more concrened whether the XML Publisher was or can be one od the cause for shared memory problem. Is there any way to check that or this occurs randomly and we can not check this.
Please advice something.

Weird mouse problem (clicks not being performed, -)

Recently I am suffering from a really weird problem.
The middle mouse button shows a really strange behaviour:
I'm using KDE from [extra], and middle clicking e.g. a link in a webbrowser (no matter which toolkit it uses) instead of opening one tab, opens the link in several tabs.
Also middle clicking on a tab, normally should close *one* tab, while here it often closes more than one tab. Since this happens in every application I use, no matter which toolkit is used, this cannot be a KDE/Qt problem, since e.g. Firefox is affected by it too. I also doubt that GTK is the cause of this problem…
[The middle clicking problem has been solved, by cleaning the mouse wheel]
[The problem below, still persists]
Furthermore, sometimes my laptop looks like it enters a "state", where my clicks are not "performed" the normal way:
E.g. I had a media player running, when my laptop got into this "state". No matter where I clicked on this app, the clicking action was performed on the Play button. Using Alt+Tab to focus another window/bring it to the front, and clicking in this window anywhere again resulted in the Play button getting clicked.
After quitting the media player app (through a keyboard shortcut) my clicks still did not work normal. They still simply were not performed. In order to "re-gain" the ability to click, I had to log out first.
Since I've setup my Arch Linux not to automatically start X/KDM after logging out, I found myself in the terminal, where I ran startx, in order to run KDE.
The terminal still had some output of my X session, but it wasn't displayed with normal characters, but rather with some weird characters, looking all scrambled and stuff, as you can see on the screenshot. http://imagebin.org/100067
I currently use the packages from the testing repo, but IIRC this behaviour was there even before installing the testing repo packages.
Extra information:
kernel26 2.6.34-1
xorg-server 1.8.1-1
nvidia 195.36.24-2
xf86-input-evdev 2.4.0-1
I run Arch Linux x86_64 on an Acer 5741G Laptop, with a NVidia Geforce GT 320M.
Interestingly, another user who suffers from the same bug is running a computer with intel graphics, so it probably is not the nvidia driver causing the problem either.
Originally the bug was reported as a rekonq bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238987
Thank you

Hello,
I seem to suffer from the same problem. Sometimes (perhaps triggered by amarok, but I have to investigate this further before blaming this app) the left mouse button stops working. I can not perform left-klicks anymore. Everything is fine with the right button. If I log out and in again the mouse if fully back. In this loop X has not been restarted.
My setup:
KDE 4.4.5 (official packages)
X: X.Org X Server 1.8.1.902 (1.8.2 RC 2)
kernel: 2.6.34-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT
architecture: x86_64
mouse: Logitech MX1000 Laser (Logitech, Inc. MX-1000 Cordless Mouse Receiver)
If s.o. will ever work in this I will be happy to provide any information I can come up with.
Cheers and good night.

Weird install problem with OS X, please help!

I've been upgrading a friend powerbook firewire 400Mhz G3, we installed 1GB of memory and put in an 80GB HD. I partioned so that OSX can be on the first 8GB, put 9.1 on the second parition of 7GB, upgraded the firmware, and i think i have tried just about everything i could find here on the discussion board.
I have several versions of X including the first version, panther (retail), and tiger (borrowed, on DVD). tiger and the original version get as far as installing, then go into kernal panic (you must restart right now.....etc). 10.2 just gts to the apple screen then a white jagged bar pops up.
i'm at a loss. i really don't know what i try to make this better, any help is greatly appriciated!!!!
oh, and the memory seemed fine when her original 6GB drive was in there, which had tiger installed.
j

jhw1,
I will just run by you some potential causes for your problem and hope that one hits the target.
- I will ask, out of curiosity, why you are making an 8GB partition for OSX? This limitation applies only to the older Wallstreet powerbook. There is no need to partition the HD unless you have a specific reason.
- Since the HD is new, and you still want to run Classic and also boot 9.x, make sure you install the MacOS 9 HD driver, an option in OSX's Disk Utility when erasing an HD, or go ahead and install OS 9.x first...this will automatically install the OS9 HD driver. If you install OSX first on a clean HD without installing the OS9 HD driver, MacOS 9 will run fine in Classic under 10.x but 9.x will no longer boot.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107285
- The Pismo has a history of failing DVD-ROM drives and usually the CD-side starts acting up first. If you have access to another Pismo or Lombard, swap drives and try the install. If you have access to a FireWire CD-RW, you can also boot OSX CDs using it.
- Reset the PRAM if you have not done so.
- You may have dirty or bad CDs; carefully clean or try others.
- You mentioned the 'book ran fine with 1GB of RAM and running Tiger on a 6GB HD, but probably the 1GB was installed after Tiger was on the HD. There is the remote possibility that the RAM is problematic when running the installers. A Wallstreet, for example, often has problems installing with 512MB, but if one 256MB module is removed, the install goes fine, then the RAM is reinstalled.
If this were my 'book, I would try this:
1. Disconnect all peripherals and reset the PRAM.
2. Boot to the 9.x CD > use Drive Setup to repartition the HD (if you wish) > install 9.x to make sure the HD, RAM, etc, are good-to-go.
3. Boot to your OSX CD and see how the install proceeds. If it fails, it may be a problem with the optical drive and/or CDs. Try the options I mentioned earlier.
4. If you wish, remove the top memory module and try the install again. If successful, reinstall the module.
5. If there is no workaround for the optical drive, you might try installing via FireWire Target Disk Mode. The 'target' will be the Pismo's HD on the desktop of the 'host' computer and you will boot the host computer to the OSX CD and select the Pismo's HD as the destination.

Finder problem or LaCie HD problem

How do I tell whether my external HD (LaCie d2 quadra) used for TM failed or if the trouble is with my Mac (Finder)?
Today I had trouble saving a pages document. The Finder showed the spinning beach ball When I typed the 1st few letter of the destination folder. I checked Activity Monitor & it showed “Finder not responding.” I force quit the finder & discovered I could not restart since no menu bar. I could not access the application folder & I also did not know any keyboard shortcut to bring up terminal so I could not use
“sudo shutdown -r now” or “sudo shutdown -h now”
I gave up & Manually shut down with the On/Off button.
I probably should NOT have force quit Finder! I should have just restarted.
When I booted up again everything worked OK except the LaCie HD icon was missing from the desktop & the TM would not work (since there was no mounted volume for TM). I repaired permissions, I restarted, I shut off & turned on the LaCie HD --no joy.
I am not certain but, suspect that the Finder problem CAUSED the LaCie/unable to mount problem. I just don’t check constantly to verify that the LaCie volume remains mounted. It may have preceded the Finder problem but if so, not by more than a few hours.
The LaCie HD is connected by FW800. I tried to use FW 400 cable & USB cable & same result. The LaCie power light goes on but I don’t hear the HD noises. I don’t know but suspect that the HD must 1st mount before it makes HD noises.
The LaCie is only 16 months old & under warranty. I hate to send it in especially if it is fine & my Mac is the problem.
Under Disk Utility the LaCie is not shown. Under System Profiler/Firewire it shows up as “Unknown Device.”
Is there a way (log?) to find out When the last TM backup completed? Is there a definitive test to tell if It is the Mac software, The Mac Hardware - (doubtful unless FW 800, 400 & USB ports all failed ) , or the LaCie that is the problem?
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the replies.
Pullman,
I looked in Console & did find a backup failed but I had been getting occasional TM backup failed messages for months & usually if I manually backup or just wait , the next one works.
I think that is a TM problem as I checked the forums When it 1st happened.
I did not save the Pages document to LaCie. LaCie is used only for automatic TM backups.
I bought LaCie 11-2007 & used exclusively for TM since. I don’t recall anything about “Mac OS Extended Journaled or GUID partition” but, I followed instructions & it went smoothly & has worked very well so I really doubt I set it up incorrectly.
Thomas, Can you point me to any documentation or even anecdotes about the failure of an external drive causing Finder problems? How can I take your very good suggestion to repair the external (LaCie) disk when Under Disk Utility the LaCie is not shown. Under System Profiler/Firewire it shows up as “Unknown Device.”
When you discuss erasing the drive, you are talking about erasing the External drive, right? But if it is not mounting how can I do anything with it? When you say “If the external disk is connected, turned on and not showing up in Disk Utility, then you've got something more serious going on, probably a hardware failure.” You are referring to a failure of the LaCie hardware not the Mac, right?
Update/ more symptoms:
Keyboard shortcut to switch Spaces stopped working. So did mouse buttons for Expose & Dashboard.. So did Hot corners. Repaired Permissions, no help. Trashed Finder plist, no help. Tried to restart & could not. Had to open Terminal & use “sudo shutdown -r now” & Then it restarted with everything working fine except still no LaCie External TM HD mounting.
Something is wrong with my Mac. Probably the LaCie is just fine.
I will use disk Utility to Repair disk with Leopard DVD.

Weird Finder Crash?

I hope someone here can help me. I've owned this 13" Macbook for about 1.5 years and it's my first mac ever. I've never seen it do this before and don't know what's causing it. I'd like to get a logger to record what happens, but don't know how to do that.
Starting yesterday, my computer randomly (it seems) stopped p allowing me to fully switch between programs from time to time. What happens is that I am in a program (so far it's happened while in Skype, Calculator, InDesign and Preview) and suddenly Cmd-Tab to switch between programs does nothing. The only way I can get to another program is to go to my hot corner that makes all the windows of all the open programs display and clicking on the window of a different program. But when I am in that program, I only have limited functionality. For example, I can not save a document nor can I type in a document or editable field on a web page. I can however follow links in a web page or click and get a cursor in a document. Additionally, the menu at the top of the screen is still the one from the program I was in when the problem started. So if I was in Skype, it's only skype menus at the top and they are unusable.
This can happen whether or not I quit the program I am in and even if I choose force quit in the Apple menu (the only one which works when this happens) and force quit a program, it doesn't help. I have tried re-launching Finder through the force quit window and it doesn't help. After a few minutes, even this menu stops working and the only thing I can do is hold the power button down till the computer shuts off. When I turn it back on, the same thing keeps happening. If I restart from the Apple menu, the computer is fine when it re-boots until the problem re-occurs.
I should say that the ONLY change I have made to my system is telling it to stop using the external drive I was using for Time Machine for that purpose and then re-formatting that drive. I also put all of my pictures onto that drive and deleted them from my HDD (a new Time Machine drive is on the way because the old one was too small).
This is a really frustrating problem and I don't even know what to search on to try and find solutions. If there's any help or solutions or suggestions you can give, I would appreciate it. This is concerning because, although I have been saving more often while this has been happening, there is more of a chance that work is going to be lost.

Well I am having a issue with finder also. I get Finder quit unexpectedly window and it keeps popping up making things a real pain in the... I can not use any apple programs only firefox works right now. Because finder wont open I can not try and re install snow leopard from disk. My computer started freezing up today so I upgraded to 10.6.4 and I got the finder problem. Any help would be nice.

When I receive word documents via my yahoo on my mac, the format always come up as a TEXTEDIT doc. This is causing me serious problems. How do I enable my documents to open in the original format it was sent?

Do you have Microsoft Word installed on your Mac? If so, you can reassign all .doc files to Word by selecting the file in Finder and choosing "File > Get Info" from the menu. In the window that opens look for "Open with" and change the entry to "Microsoft Word".

Weird audio problem during calls

I have a weird audio problem and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or could help...
My wife and I both have iPhone 5's and sometimes (not all the time) when she calls me (or I call her), it connects, but no matter which audio input I choose (phone, bluetooth, speaker, headphones), I cannot hear her, but she can hear me... I hang up, call back (and when I call, there is no dialing sound, nor any other phone sounds) and it's the same thing. Sometimes restarting the phone works, other times I have to restart it 3-4 times before it'll work again. I try different things during these calls, like turning on/off bluetooth and/or wifi (pretty much anything I can think of that would make a difference), but nothing seems to help.
The (other) weird part is that after the last time of this happening, I tried calling my iPhone with my office phone and it worked fine, so then I immediately call my wife back with my iPhone and it was doing the same thing again. I called her back using my office phone and could talk to her fine...
This problem has been going on for a few months now and I have tried restoring the phone a couple times (and I am on the latest iOS) and sadly, that hasn't done anything to help... Does anyone have any ideas what is going on? I'd make an appointment for the problem, but since it doesn't do it all the time, I don't know what good it would do... But it is getting very frustrating!
Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the response! It happened again yesterday... It seems to be happening more frequently in the past few weeks now.
I checked the link and have tried all of the things listed at one point or another over the past few months. I did just check my Carrier settings and it said it had updated (it's on 14.1), but I am not sure when that happened (could have been today, could have been after my last restore last week, not sure). I'll keep my fingers crossed that maybe that fixed it...
If it continues to act up, would you recommend that I bring the phone in to an Apple store or an AT&T store? I bought the phone through Apple, but my carrier is AT&T (and if you suspect that the problem may be with the cellular conection), maybe the AT&T store would be the better choice?
I really wish the problem would be more consistant or go away, cause trying to get the problem solved is driving me crazy!

Fcp quicktime conversion export colour problem

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, i have noticed that whenever i want to export a file using Quicktime Conversion from Final Cut Pro 6, the output file has lost its colour depth and seems flat.
For example, i have a DV-PAL timeline and want to export a mov file using QT Conversion and the DV-PAL setting, the file's colour is different to fcp.
What could cause such a problem? i never encountered such a problem running on an older system.
Please help!

i have tried checking and unchecking 'Enable Final Cut Studio color compatibility', and i do not see a change. i have even tried opening the file using the old Quicktime player, but both the new Quicktime x player and the old one look identical.
i appreciate your help!
