Quicktime Instruction Fail?

In the QuickTime7UserGuide.pdf, there is this on page 22:
"Preventing Users from Changing QuickTime Settings
If you’re using a computer in a public setting (at a kiosk, for example), you can prevent users from changing QuickTime settings and saving movies from the Internet.
To set up QuickTime for use on a public computer (in Mac OS X):
Open System Preferences, click QuickTime, and click Advanced. Select “Enable kiosk mode.”"
So I open System Preferences and see Personal, 7 entries, Hardware, 7 entries, Inernet & Wireless, four entries, System, 8 entries and Other, six entries...
None of them is QuickTime.
Nor does this Kiosk mode exist in QuicTimes own Preferences.
What's wrong?
Similarly, this instruction a few paragraphs later seems flawed:
"With QuickTime Pro, you can adjust memory options for a QuickTime movie track.
To adjust memory options for a track:
1 Choose Window > Show Movie Properties.
2 Select the track you want to adjust and click Other Settings.
3 To put the track into memory, select “Preload this track.”
4 To keep track data in memory, select Cache.
Use these options only with tracks that contain very small amounts of data; too much data in memory may cause poor performance, system errors, or unpredictable results."
There seems to be no such thing as "Preload this track."
When I add a subtitle track to a QT movie, it opens up a big ugly black space below the image. Is this normal? All the instructions imply a title OVER the image. Page 36.
Is this QTP instruction set as mistaken as it appears to me?

Ahem. When I open the Quicktime Pro 7 program, it has its own Preferences under the bold "QuickTime Player 7" in the top left of the header bar. Also accessible via Command + comma.
And where, other than this, would one find the "QuickTime Preferences" you are referring to?
The COMPLETE list of items under the QuickTime header is:
About QuickTime Player 7
Preferences
Registration
Update Existing Software
Services
Hide QuickTime Player 7
Hide Others
Show All (grayed out)
Quit QuickTime Player 7
Now back to my original question. OBVIOUSLY some sort of bug is afoot. That "QuickTime Preferences" item you are so exasperated to direct me to simply does NOT exist.
My question is: Why?
What's wrong? How do I fix it?
I appreciate that you're trying to help, but I am reading your words, and am aware that "QuickTime Preferences" should be in there, but please be aware that it isn't.

  • Error message when opening itunes, quicktime streaming failed to load...

    I downloaded itunes, installed it, and when I try to open I get the message "quicktime streaming failed to load because it was already loaded" Then it closes. Anyone know what's going on?
      Windows XP  

    okay ... let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • "Quicktime Streaming failed to load because of an unknown error"

    iTunes and Quicktime will not load, install, or uninstall because of at some point the popup message "Quicktime Streaming failed to load because of an unknown error" appears. Succesive reboots and removal of SpyBot (which may have denied access to Quicktime because of a registry setting, which of course may still be the cause of the problem...) have not fixed the problem. Any ideas?

    I have struggled with the same problem for the last few years and could not find any adequate answers. Being a person who likes to run his PC clean and mean, I had stopped all those Apple Itunes / Quicktime applets and deleted Itunes application as I preferred other Media players & converters. Recently my Nokia 6300 phone suite would send me the same error every song I moved from PC to phone. The clue was that I had chosen Optimised AAC format instead of stock standard MP3. Working on this hunch, I re-activated Apple's Software Update from the Scheduled Tasks items of Control Panel to update Quicktime, Itunes and Safari. Now I have AppleMobileDeviceService.exe, iPodService.exe, iTunesHelper.exe all running and I do not get the error anymore. There is also the Bonjour (DNSResponder.exe) service to be considered. See:-

  • Quicktime export failed - out of memory

    After I managed to open AVCHD (MTS) movies with AE CS4 I just tried to export a 2 min movie. I export as H264 1280x720.
    I keep getting this error "quicktime export failed - out of memory"
    It also happend when using SD movies
    I have 2GB ram and a dual core inter E6550.
    Does anyone encountered such problem ?

    Are you rendering and exporting using the render queue, or are you using the Export command in the File menu? You should almost always use the render queue.
    See
    "Rendering and exporting movies using QuickTime components" and
    "About rendering and exporting".

  • After Effects error: Quicktime export failed - Out of memory (-108)

    I am using CS3 After Effects and have been receiving this After Effects error: Quicktime export failed - Out of memory (-108).  Can anyone help with this issue?
    I am using a Mac Pro 6-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz with 6 memory slots at 1GB DDR3 ECC at Speed 1333MHz.

    Sounds like one of those many "old version of AE on new hardware" issues... You may need to fiddle with Rosetta or install it in teh first place, if you haven't already and you may also require a specific older version of Quicktime...

  • Keynote export to Quicktime still fails after upgrade to iWork 09.1

    After the update to iwork 9.1 the export to quicktime still fails with 'there is not enough disk space or there was a problem with the file Error - 108'
    I bought a Mac for my use at home, (got a strong one with work in mind) - keynote with embedded FCP movies in some slides made one great presentation for work. Planned to deploy it to sales and our clients and develop more. but it does not run on quicktime so after 3 months the plan has taken a nose dive.
    Its tough times, Keynote style presentations with live demos of our software (embedded movies) can make a difference. But it will have to run on a PC because that is what our clients and sales force have.
    With export to quicktime not working and removal of export to flash i iWork 09 , there seems to be no way to deploy a Keynote presentation to a PC dominated corporate world? and I would be very interested to know if there is a way.
    I have followed all the posts and even narrowed this issue in my case to hyperlinks
    but none of the solutions solve the problem
    The more complex the presentation in relation to embedded movies, hyperlinks etc sooner or later triggers this problem.

    I'm also trying to utilize Keynote for the PC world and NEED the export to Quicktime. I also don't notice any improvement in Keynote '09. I think the workaround has to be to export the Quicktime files - which I'm now accepting will always have mismatched timings and other problems into another program for "fixing". This weekend I plan to test various. I hate to say I will have to revert to PowerPoint because it accepts audio and video files longer than 99 seconds. FYI, I just read on another post that manually clicking through your Keynote while having a screen capture program record a Quicktime may be a solution, although I'm concerned for audio/video quality. I just downloaded a free trial of Snapz Pro to see if that works today too. Let me know if you find a solution.

  • Quicktime would fail to write/export to server windows share with "Error -43: file not found" errors

    Summary:
    With the combination of Windows 7 and Quicktime 7.x, Quicktime would fail to write/export to server windows share with "Couldn't create output movie storage" and "Error -43: file not found" errors
    Steps to Reproduce:
    Trying to render to Quicktime files using network shared folders as a destination:
    Unable to open file. (-1610153459)
    The funny thing: it only happens when there are at least two shared folders mapped on the workstation, and the destination folder used for the rendered movie is not the first one.
    If we have only two mapped drives, F: and G: for example, and we try to render something to F:, everything works fine and no error is showed. But, when the destination is the G: drive, rendering never works, the error is showed, but a zero-byte file is created in F: (!!). ODD! If we remap F: drive with a different letter, but a letter BEFORE G:, the problem always happens. If we remap drive F: to any letter AFTER G:, making G: the first available network drive, rendering works. Also, simply unmapping F: and leaving G: as the only connected network folder makes render to work.
    We do not have a D: drive in our Windows 7 workstations, they are all C: only.
    It is a 100% reproducible problem. We tried with three different Active Directory networks and workstations. It has all of the features of a software bug.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers!
    Expected Results:
    Error -43: file not found
    Actual Results:
    The workaround seems to be to use the full path to the servers instead of the mapped mount point (ie //server/z/... instead of Z:/...
    Regression:
    All versions of quicktime 7 in combination with windows 7 client and more than one smb share point mapped in a letter.
    Notes:
    All software that uses quicktime movie exports showed this error.

    Not sure what file your are referencing?  Thanks for your suggestion, however, it's not relavant.
    It renders fine if you render to either the UNC path or the first mapped drive.
    i.e. If you have two mapped drives G: and H:
    they both point to \\fileserver\share1\folder
    If you render to H: it will fail, if you render to G: it works!  Same path, same user, same permissions.
    The only difference is H comes after G, so it fails... BUG.  If it was to do with anything else, underscores, permissions etc, it would fail on both.

  • "QuickTime Streaming Failed to Load. . . . ." error pop up

    Hi all,
    I recently did the automatic upgrade for QuickTime after it asked if I wanted to download & install it. Ever since that time, whenever I load a program that requires QT, an error pop up comes on the screen that says "QuickTime Streaming failed to Load Because it was Already Loaded".
    This error pops up even though no other program is using QT and QT has not been started separately. Now if I click on the pop up's "Okay", the program will go ahead and start. It's just a pain to have that popping up all the time now.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Jerry

  • QuickTime Installation FAILED!! "Error Code: -1"

    Hello. I think I've just wasted 5 hours downloading the new iTunes 6. When I install iTunes 6, it installs fine. But when it reaches the part where it downloads QuickTime7 there is an error code message- "Quicktime installation failed: Error Code : -1" I don't know what to do. Now my iTunes won't pop up. Then when I close the error screen, it says this- "1628: Failed to complete installation". I keep on trying to install iTunes 6, but the same thing happens again!!! Please, I need some help to solve this problem, without iTunes, i can't update my iPod Mini!!!
    Thanks.

    This might not be exactly the same problem but lots of people (myself included) had problems after installing iTunes 6.0. I did the following and it finally installed correctly.
    I went to
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
    and downloaded the Cleanup utility near the bottom of that page. When it installs on your machine it will scan your computer for every installer every ran on you're machine. Only select iTunes and Qtime and delete those 2 installers. Then I went to add/remove programs and removed iTunes and Qtime. Prior to this Qtime would not unistall but now it did. Funny thing was there was no prompting by windows once I hit "remove/repair" in the "add/remove programs" function.
    Then rerun the iTunes 6.0.1 update. That had been failing to install Qtime prior to this but now it installed and I see all my music again and iTunes works. Let me know if this does the trick, I hope so.

  • QuickTime installation failed: Error Code : 1607

  • Itunes and quicktime both fail to launch, giving error reports

    Getting a little ticked because ive been trying to get itunes to properly work.
    To clarafy, i've done the following to try and fix this problem
    Uninstalled itunes and quick time
    Re-installed
    Uninstalling just quick time and it almost loaded until it gave me the audio codec issue(i know i need quicktime for itunes to even work)
    I've installed older versions of itunes (same issue)
    I've tried loading up itunes on a different user account
    Now i don't know what left to do (besides trying the msconfig, im in the process of doing that right now)
    I need help guys
    I'm really close to just taking back the ipod nano and getting something more windows compatable

    Have you ever installed any of the following:
    ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter.
    They are known to cause crashes with Quicktime. If you have one of them, you need to uninstall it.
    You can get a clue to the presence of a problem codec by trying to run QUicktime preferences from the control panel. If you get an error message like this:
    "An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_runDLL "C:\Windows\system32\QuickTime.cpl"
    You could have a problem codec, QUicktime does not install Quicktime.cpl in the system32 folder.
    Then try the following method for removal of iTunes and associated components and Installer cleanup:
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes

  • Quicktime installation failed - error 1312

    Can anyone please help me? I'm trying to install Quicktime 7 (on Windows XP) but I keep getting the following error message:
    Quicktime error
    Error 1312. Cannot create the directory C:\program Files\Quick Time\QTSystem\Quicktime MPEG4.Resources\fr.lproj. A file with that name already exists.
    I've tried locating the file, but it doesn't seem to exist.
    What should I do?
    Thank you very much in advance.
    M.

    okay. the initial trouble with the QT component of the itunes may have left dodgy program files/folders/installation-configuration-information on the PC, which is interfering with the subsequent attempts at the QT install (even though nothing is currently showing on the PC).
    working on that theory, here's what we'll try first.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    next use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstall instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of any leftover QuickTime program files and folders.
    Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
    once we've got any existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try another careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    does it go through properly this time? if so, does your itunes launch properly?

  • Quicktime Installation Failed: Error Code : -3

    Whenever I try to install Quicktime 7.03 and iTunes for Windows, I always get this error. iTunes appears to install, but iTunes won't run. I really need to get quicktime installed. Someone PLEASE help me.

    Yes, so helpful. Like we haven't been told the above solution many times over before and it DOES NOT WORK.
    Called Apple today, apparently they don't even monitor the 'Apple Support Discussions' so we're only talking to each other, not Apple.
    However, to call Apple support you need an i-pod serial number in order to recieve any support. I'll be calling back later today with a serial for them. After an hour of going round and round in circles (a manager even hung up on me) I was able to get someone to look through their knowledgebase for this problem. They pulled up the 'windows install cleanup utility' solution and nothing else. Said I'd need a serial no before they take it any further.
    When they're pushing this software to replace things like Winamp, Windows Media Centre, and when non-ipod owners have issues and receive no support at all... is it really worth running I-Tunes?
    Every other previous experience with Apple support has told me they're absolute retards. Like a warranty claim on a failed hard drive which lost its entire contents... apple service centre said it wasn't faulty. I guess Apple are keeping to old standards.
    Here are some links to other threads describing the same problem... but remember, its not a major issure right?

  • Quicktime Player failing to initialize properly......

    When trying to open Quicktime its quoting - The application failed to initilize properly - Although I have reinstalled the app several times. I use it with itunes and when i attempt to open itunes it says that Quicktime is not found, reinstall Itunes. I have done both of these things and still these two errors messages appear - Any suggestions??

    QT does not support the export of sound from muxed mpeg files nor the editing of such filesQT Mpeg Limitations
    This freeware will allow some editing of mpegs without re-encoding and will allow you to export both sound and video to other formats, such as DV steam for iMovie.Mpeg StreamClip
    To find the codecs (video and audio) open the movie in QT Player and then open the MovieInfo window or press Command-I.
    If you open a muxed mpeg and then use "Save" the icon will say it is a movie but MovieInfo will reveal that it is in fact a muxed mpeg and subject to the QT mpeg limitations The same thing will occur if you display a muxed mpeg in a browser window and then use "Save as Quicktime Movie" in the controller dropdown menu. To be sure that the format is not altered always use "Save as Source". That way foreign file formats not native to QT will not be saved with a QT wrapper around them. That kind of wrapper may not interfere with playback in QT but can foil attempts to open the file in other applications.
