Quicktime doesnt always work

some movies on my MacBook wont play properly. they either play with no sound or the video starts to skip. then a pop up box says that i should download some more componants for quicktime. it then sends me to a componant link screen but i dont know which ones to download?
i have already downloaded Divx, On2 and Zygo video but they dont make any difference. im getting tired of this guessing game now. does anone know a codec that just makes Quicktime WORK?!
cheers
MacBook Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) Using Quicktime Pro

There are dozens (maybe 30) different codecs that are used by QuickTime.
Microsoft (the AVI files you're having trouble with) has about 100 different combinations.
Use the Movie Info window of QT Player to view the codec used in the file. A Google search should help you find what you need.
BTW, you've posted your Mac troubles in the Windows side of these QuickTime Discussions pages.

Removing object from kodo datacache doesnt always work.

Hi,
We're using a very old version of kodo - 3.4.1 but it seems to work well.
We seem to have come across an intermittent issue where if we remove an object from the datacache using the DataCache.commit call, then the object doesnt actually seem to get removed. So the application continues operation with the out of date cached object. We get no exception or error though.
Has anyone see anything like this before? I can't seem to find any available known issues list or bug database for kodo, I guess this isnt available?
Thanks,
Dan

The size will refer to individual DataCache size.
KodoPersistenceManager.getDataStoreCache() or getDataStoreCache("myCache") will return the default or named datacaches respectively.
You can evict the L2 cache content on the returned DataCache instance from the previous methods.

HT1476 Iphone wont recharge unless I hold the phone down and have it at a certain angle so the phone charger works...but it doesnt always work

Iphone 5 wont recharge...the only way it works, sometimes, is if I hold the phone down while the recharger is in the phone, and the phone has to be at a certain angle for the charger to work....any ideas whats wrong?

Do you want to know what's wrong, or do you want your phone fixed?
Bring your phone and charger to Apple. They're under warranty. If either of the devices is malfunctioning, it will be relplaced.

Setting aspect ratio to landscape doesnt always work correctly.

I am building an app for both Android and iOS... I am testing on an iPad2 and a Nexus tablet (for iOS and android).
In my -app.xml, I have <aspectRatio>ANY</aspectRatio> and <autoOrients>true</autoOrients.
I allow the app to auto-orient to any position. There is an exception... 1 part of my app I need to be "LANDSCAPE" only, and then when leaving that part I want to resume the "ANY"
Depending on the current orientation, telling the app to "stage.setAspectRatio(StageAspectRatio.LANDSCAPE)" yield different results.
When my apps orientation is "default" or "upsideDown", it works correctly. (basically its going from portrait to landscape)
When my apps orientation is "rotatedRight", it works correctly (even though the "rotateRight" state is already landscape).
When my apps orientation is "rotatedLeft", it does NOT work correctly. It does indeed make the app landscape (even though its already landscape), but it forces the app to do a 180 flip, and my content is upside down.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I have a feeling this will get no replies and fade away into the interwebs

I found my own answer!!!! apparently even though I am using AIR 3.6, I still needed to include a compiler argument...
-swf-version=18
without this, not only does the landscape not behave correctly, sometimes calling the "stage.setAspectRatio(StageAspectRatio.ANY)" will throw an error.
WHEW

Quicktime Will not work

Hi, I recently got Photoshop CS3 which requires Quicktime for video editing. So, I instaled quicktime but when I tried to run it, a window popped up saying that 'quicktime has stoped working'. It never realy opened, though. I've tried re-installing it a bunch of times, repairing it, completely removing it and puting it back on, and it always says its installed just fine. but then it will not run. An alert always just pops up saying 'quicktime has stpped working'. I would really greatly appreciate it if you could help.

i just figured it out. i was on myspace and i right clicked and went to plug-in setting and looked under browser and i clicked on MiMe setting and then i clicked on use defaults and that worked

Fan always working, trying to find out why

Hello everybody. My MacBook Pro has been recently behaving strange in regards to its fan. It is always working, often on really high speed. The monitor doesn't really show any extreme process CPU activity except kernel_task from time to time or safari "Web-Inhalt" (not sure what this is in English). Here is my recent EtreCheck. Maybe someone could take a fast look at this for any culprits that might trigger the fan. Thanks a bunch!

My apple is not recognizing my ipod nano G4, has always worked in the past. Need to charge it, but it won't charge. please help. have read troubleshooting, checked connectionsp

my mac doesnt recognize my ipod nano G4, its always worked before. read the trouble shoots, checked all connections. it needs to charge and wont do it.

Try the suggestions in article - iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop. If the suggestions do not work, more than likely you need a new battery. Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

My quicktime does not work at all on my iMac with Lion

Razer Lachesis not always working on MSI 790FX-GD70 - needs to be replugged

When I boot my new system, my Razer Lachesis (gaming mouse) doesn't always work directly, it doesn't more or click. I need to unplug and then plug it back in to get it to work.
First I thought it had to have something to do with the driver, so I installed the Vista x64 drivers for my Windows 7 x64 OS, but no luck.
I've had this onces before on my old MSI K8N-Neo2 Platinum board with a Razer Copperhead. A biosupdate fixed the issue back then. Are there any known issues with my mainboard in this matter?
Would be nice if someone knows how to fix it. I'll also report this @ Razer.
Thanks for the help guys :D

Yep, I had same problem too, as well as on several other motherboards too. Guess what? I don't use Razer mouse again!

I have similar problem, my apple tv which has always worked properly with my Samsung tv will no longer play any audio after the latest 5.1 upgrade. Very frustrating as it was working perfectly before. I am starting to not trust apple upgrades until proven for example ios6 on iPhone with that stupid map app instead of google maps.
I just want to buy and hear my iTunes music and videos on my apple tv, could before cant now. Thank you apple. Time to pack up the apple tv and start torrenting without the ios-bs.
Disheartened apple fan.

Welcome to the  discussion forums.
Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

HT204088 The directions you provided above doesnt even work! when I selected "Click to open your account", there is an ERROR message and takes me to no where! when I try to access my itunes account, it says I have no history?

Web Intelligence is not always working well

i found web intelligence is not always working, sometime, when i try to open a document, it takes so long, sometimes, it is fast, sometimes when i try to refresh the report, it gives me error, i am wondering if someone knows what could cause this kind of issue? is it proxy? or something else?

Tara,
there are many factors that can cause slow performance. In those cases where it is sometimes fast, it may be due to caching -- another user recently requested the same report and the report is in the server's cache, so instead of running the report from the start it sends the cache to you. In other cases there may be no cache built up so you get stuck waiting for cache and your report comes up slowly. There are a couple of techniques for tracking down slow performance, but mostly it happens due to either a database problem or an overworked applications/web server, or poor communication/LAN/Network lines. Depending on your expertise you'll gravitate to checking that aspect out first and investigating one of the aspects to see where a bottleneck is getting produced. Another technique is to add -trace to your service startups to add more verbose messages to your logs. Adding trace will help you to see more of what is going on in the background. I guess it's a matter of digging in and following your instincts until you can nail down the culprit.
Thanks,
John
