Quicktime launches, appears in taskbar but nothing on desktop

Each time I launch QTPro, it appears in the taskbar but there is no application open on the desktop. When I right click the taskbar icon, there is no option (grayed out) for Restore or Maximize, just Close and Move. When I select Move, I get the 4 arrow cursor which jumps to the upper left of the desktop as if QT were there. When I left click as if to move the 'ghost' application, nothing happens and the cursor returns to normal arrow. I check the Task Manager and it shows QT running. The only way I can launch QT is to click on an actual movie file.

if you connect the drive to your AEBS, it cannot show in DU because there is no direct connection to your machine.
you should see an icon of your AEBS under the shared header in a finder window. you can mount the airdisk by clicking once on that icon, then on the folder representing your Seagate and it will mount on your desktop.
you can have the drive mount automatically @ startup by adding it to your *startup items*. go system preferences > accounts > login items and add the drive (it must be mounted to be selectable) using the little "+" sign.

  • Quicktime loads, shows on taskbar, but nothing displays on screen.

    To add more detail to this, I am having problems with Quicktime.
    I have a single display system. Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit..
    I have an 8800GT set to single display mode. I have never run a second monitor on it, and have made 0 recent changes to that configuration.
    So when I load Quicktime, I see it showing on the taskbar, Quicktime shows up for a brief moment.. and then completely disappears. I do not have an auto hidden taskbar, it has not been minimized anywhere, it does not minimize to the system tray, etc.
    I have also used programs and features to completely remove it, restarted the pc, then reinstalled it only to have the exact same issue. I have also used the quicktime installer to remove it, which also removed the registry entries, and then rebooted and reinstalled, yet I have the same issue!
    I have no other issues with my pc at all. I'm a tech, so I know these things, but something is escapting me here..
    I have also used the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility as well, but that also did not resolve the issue.
    Quicktime was originally running just fine, but some people in a game called Secondlife which has streaming videos in it by going through Quicktime were having issues seeing a certain musician stream a video from his location. So I tried reinstalling to see what would happen, and ever since I have been having this problem.
    Any guesses? Anyone have the same issue?

    I am having the exact same problem.
    Not only does QuickTime show up on the taskbar, I can select it as the current app. I can use keyboard shortcuts when it is selected (i.e. Ctrl+O for open). But the QT app is never visible on my screen (except for a split second during startup). Interestingly, and dialogs bring up by way of keyboard shortcuts are visible, but the actual QT window is not.

  • Hello, this might be a basic question, but how do you open QuickTime to record a new webinar? I have a new MacBook Pro with Yosemite and can only get QuickTime to appear in Finder but not actually open to allow me to record something new. Thx.

  • Phone appears under "devices," but nothing else shows up

    Hi,
    I restored my 3g iPhone after having difficulty upgrading to 2.1. Now, the phone works fine, but I can't do anything with it in iTunes 8.0 (such as sync it with my old backup). The phone appears under "devices," but nothing happens when I click it there.
    What do I do?

    Googling for the du vs df gives a lot of links. Here is some info from ext3 FAQ (I guess it applies to ext4 too):
    The standard cause for this is some user process keeping a deleted file open. When this happens, the space is not visible via 'du', since the file is no longer visible in the directory tree. However, the space is still used by the file until it is deallocated, and that can only happen once the last process which has the file open either closes its file descriptor to the file, or the process exits. You can use the lsof program to try to find which process is keeping an open file. Usually it's some log file, or some large data base file which gets rotated out, but some older process are still keeping the log file open.
    This is a longer article giving some more reasons, and says that du is more accurate than df.
    EDIT: But the difference is seriously huge in your case!

  • After Snow Leopard 10.6.2 TM appears to backup, but nothing has changed

    I went to find a backup copy of a file and noticed that all hourly backup times are available but nothing has changed or actually backed-up since OS upgrade. Console error log says this.

    I moved this /Library/Plug-ins/DiskImages folder to the trash and TM is working again. What is that package for and can it be safely deleted? Why did it get corrupted?

    this is not part of OS X. this is a plugin installed by some 3rd party app you have. I don't know which. google indicate that it could be Norton AV. do you by chance have Norton?

  • IPod appears in iTunes, but disappears from Desktop

    Just recently, whenever I plug my 3G 20GB iPod into my dock connect via Firewire to my iMac, it launches iTunes as normal, appears on the Deskop, syncs with iTunes and then disappears from the Desktop.
    Then if I eject my iPod from iTunes and leave it connected to my dock to charge, and later relaunch iTunes it freezes and takes a force quit and a log out to get things working again.
    I tried resetting and resyncing the iPod last week and have also trashed the iTunes prefs, but nothing seems to have worked as yet.
    Any ideas?

    The first part of your description sounds normal when using Auto updating and having disk mode DIS-abled. Mine shows up in iTunes when connected, then I eject it from iTunes and it does not appear on my desk top.
    Try going into the iPod setting in iTunes and enabling disk mode and see if that works any better. You will have to manually eject the iPod from the desk top though, before unplugging it.

  • Firefox icon appears in taskbar but everytime I open a new webpage another Firefox icon appears behind the first. I've had as many as 10. How can I stop this?

    Don't know what else to say except that I've tried every suggestion to stop the multiple tiled icons in the task bar as I could find. When I say tiled I mean that the second and third (etc.) icons are slightly offset to the right of the top one. If there are several there and I click on the top one every page I visited but did not close before going on to another website will appear in a small window just above the taskbar.

    This looks normal to me, I tend to have several windows open at the same time. I get the same tiling for other applications, such as MS Word and Adobe Reader. There might be a Windows-wide setting for this.
    If you only have one window but multiple tabs in the window, you should be able to turn off the separate display of tabs on the Taskbar in the Options dialog.
    I'm sure Fred would have directed you here for that:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
    Uncheck the box for "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar"

  • Wifi Canon Camera launches iPhoto (in Mavericks), but nothing shows to import?

    Prior to upgrading to Maverick, I had no troubles connecting my Canon S110 wirelessly to my neatork, computer, and into iPhoto.
    Now, when I connect the camera to my computer,  the computer detects the connection, and even launches iPhoto, so it's being detected
    - but that's it,   no options to import anything,  so I had to remove the SD card and do it the old fashioned way.
    I don't see any updates, but assume something broke, but wondering if anyone has experienced the same or if there's something I might have missed.
    Thanks

    I have the same issues with updated OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17). To me it seems it is iPhoto problem, since if it was Canon firmware problem, the camera would not be visible in Image Capture either, right? And besides WiFi connection to computer + iPhoto import worked like a charm before update. I Also sent the feedback via iPhoto.
    Any news on update from Apple??
    p.s. IMHO it is sad that Apple remains to my eyes always silent in these forums with the problems I've googled now or in the past.

  • An icon for an iBank file appears to open but nothing shows! Why??

    I have been using iBank for a couple of years and suddenly the file will not open.  The program opens and all appears to be as it should except the info file does not open.  Where did it go?  How is it hiding?

    Try the support area of their website >  http://www.iggsoftware.com/support.php
    And click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen. From the drop down menu click Recent Items > Documents
    It may launch from there.
    And try using Spotlight. Click the Spotlight icon top right corner of your screen. Type in the name of the file.

  • TS3274 Apple logo appears on iPad, but nothing else happens.

    Earlier today, I downloaded some updated apps - about 13.  I deleted a newspaper app, then did a sync.  Since then, all I get on my iPad is the Apple logo.  It isn't recognized in iTunes, and there is apparently no recognition of the iPad when I connect the USB to my computer.  I'm running Windows7 Enterprise, and have had no problems in the nearly 3 years I've owned the tablet.

    Start with this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If that doesn't help, and the device is still showing the Apple Logo only and is not being recognized in iTunes, read this about restoring via recovery mode.

  • Bridge issues:  Bridge does not open.  It can show multiple times in TaskBar but nothing to user

    Issue 1 Bridge does not open.  If you click on the application multiple times in trying to get it to load... it shows the app multiple times in the TASK BAR Manager. 

    Sounds like you may need to restart the computer Braswels.
    Try that and see if it resolves the issue.

  • Some images don't appear in iPhone, but do on desktop.

    Can someone download this PDF and let me know why the jpg images appear fine when viewing with desktop browser, but some images in the same document don't appear when viewing in Safari on the iPhone? Vector artwork and text show fine. Shows white space where JPGs should be.
    Specifically, pages 1 and 4:

    I just heard about this day before yesterday at the InDesign Print and ePublishing Conference in Washington, DC. When using display on an iOS device JPEG 2000 is not supported. There are two flavors of JPEG: JPEG & JPEG 2000.
    Here's a Wikipedia article about JPEG 2000:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_2000
    If I go to page 1 and 4 in your PDF and use Output Preview in Acrobat Pro (in Acro 9 > Advanced Print Production > Output Preview). Click on the Object Inspector tab and click on the image. It uses a JPEG 2000 filter.
    Since I don't know how the image was created and saved, I'll leave it to you to resave it as normal JPEG.
