Quicktime gamma consistency - still unresolved. Any solutions ?

Hi,
I am having issues with Quicktime an inconsistent gamma with exported footage. Quicktime player makes the footage appears washed out compared to my NLE.
I have tried the fix using the movie properties and quicktime pro 7, and saving or exporting the footage again. This corrects the problem for quicktime 7, and also in the latest quicktime player (though I have to re-export for this), however with quicklook (which I believe uses the latest quicktime X engine) the footage still appears washed out.
This is a massive problem for delivering footage and previews to clients, since 90% of them will be viewing them on their macs using quick look or the default player. Some threads have suggested color correcting in the NLE to compensate. This is a really hacky solution and not practical at all, since once the footage is uploaded to youtube or vimeo, it won't be correct anymore (once uploaded to a tube site, footage comes out normal. VLC also displays correctly. It seems odd to me that everyone else can display video correctly but not Apple's major video player).
Does anyone know a definitive way around this problem ? its driving me nuts...

In QuickTime 7, have you set your preferences correctly?

Ipad2 now unable to get LaserjetPro 1520 to eprint from Safari.Laptops can still eprint.Any solution

Until today ipad2 could eprint from Safari to LaserjetPro1520. Mine and my wife's laptops can still eprint wirelessly to the LaserJet Pro1520. The ipad2 had a recent software update to iOS5 which caused the ipad2 to reboot to the new software.Any suggestions on how to get the updated ipad2 to eprint again?

Hi RedWolf72
I'm sorry to hear that you are unable to AirPrint from your updated iPad 2. Make sure that the iPad 2 is still on the same network as the printer. Also, make sure bluetooth is turned off on the iPad 2. Try power cycling your router, printer, and iPad2 (in that order). Basically, unplug the device for 15 seconds and then wait for it to boot all the way up. Then do the same for the next device. After all the devices have been power cycled try AirPrinting from Safari again.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

If you are using the iPhone camera zoom then remember that this is a digital zoom not an optical zoom. The zoomed in area will have fewer pixels and not appear as clear. The more you zoom the worse it gets. It's like cropping a picture after it has been taken.

Google 'Perian' and 'Flip4Mac' — these are the extensions that will make QT play other file formats.
However, a simpler solution is just to abandon QT in favour of the free, open-source player VLC, which plays just about everything natively without further downloads.
Download the free VLC Player from here:

Plays just about everything, including avi & mpg, without add ons.

restore your iPhone with back up and then if required as new

Most likely, you have an iPhone 3GS not a 4s. See this to identify your model:

I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve any application crashing or misbehaving.
As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...
