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.

  • 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.

  • Can I/should I use Mail on my MacBookPro or do I just use iCloud mail?  My Mail won't even open like it used to...Tool bar shows up top but nothing else on screen!

    Hi.  I've recently been given a pc tablet to enable me to always be connected to my boss since some of what we do is only pc compatible.  He's a big Outlook lover and intended to use Windows through Paralles to have all this on my Mac.
    After my Mac died and I had to buy a new one, I'm a little leary of doing so and thus investigated the Mail program again.  I am confused about it at this point and would love it if anyone could answer some questions i have.
    1.  If I have an icloud account which I currently use for my .me mail, can I even use Mail anymore?
    2.  My Mail program hasn't been the same since i upgraded to Lion - which is when I started my iCloud account.
       When I open the program all I see is the toolbar - no actual mail or screen even!
    3.  Can Mail be set up like Outlook in that I could have all of the email accounts I must manage for work (mostly gmail accounts) feeding into one location?
    Sorry if this all sounds silly!  I really never had a use for Mail when it worked, other than for my personal emailing so I'm afraid I never really learned enough about it!
    Thank you,
    Christine

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    Howdy there Nick,
    Greet
    I would recommend these 2 troubleshooting steps.
    First, reset the Apple TV with this process:
    Restarting your Apple TV without a remote
    You can also reset your Apple TV by unplugging it from the power source for thirty seconds.
    From: Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): How to restart your Apple TV

    I came home and attempted to power on my iPad2. I can see the backlight but nothing on the screen. When I try to reset by pushing the off button and the power button at the same time I can sometimes see the characters briefly but the screen has lines. Can someone tell me if there is anything else I can do before a trip to the repair shop?
    Will

    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • TS1717 Apps store updates badge shows 3 updates but nothing appears in the window...??

    Apps store udates badge on my iPhone indicates 3 updates available but nothing shows in the window......anyone had this issue and what is the fix..?

    I have the same issue start yesterday. I called Apple as I believed the issue was with the App Store app update server. An Apple support rep confirmed I was correct. The issue now seems to have been resolved.
    I told Apple support rep that they should have issued an email to their App Store customers or placed a note on there website so the customers wouldn't waste their time trying to figure out what happened and/or waste time trying to fix an issue that they could never fix.

  • Firefox can access the website but nothing displays yet google chrome works, what gives?

    i can access the login page and supply my id and passwd and then it appears to be going well according to the info bar at the bottom but nothing ever displays. if i let it sit long enough for my session to expire the expiration warning box pops up. i click okay but nothing ever displays. firefox vers 3.6.10, google chrome vers 6.0.472.63 works without issue. i've deleted all my history and cookies and no change. any help or suggestions appreciated.

    i had already did this but in the spirit of cooperation i went thru it again. funny thing is, firefox in safe mode won't even display the log in page yet regular firefox will. so safe mode isn't buying me anything. so for now i google chrome my netzero mail and firefox everything else. very frustrating. as a side note this issue is mirrored on my windows 7 enterprise laptop for work. i use the same "workaround" there too. additionally all other webmail accounts are fine(yahoo, hotmail, etc...). thanx for the reply though. any help is appreciated.

  • Macbook turns on, but nothing on the screen

    I had my macbook pro last september for my birthday, and until last night it had been working properly. but just tonight it won't start up! when i held the power button, the screen stays black although there is this normal sound when mbp's starting. I blind my way and click randomly (hoping to choose the username like i used to) and then the screen's all white-and-gray thing. Any idea why, and how, to fix this? also how much would it cost? thanks

    nothing, my mouse just stops at the edge of my screen. but i have it mirrored. when i turn mirror off then my mouse goes of the screen but nothing happens on the display. i am going to take it in to the store tonight and see if they can send it back and fix it.
    thanks

  • My one month old laptop turns on but nothing appears on screen...help

    MMy laptop turns on but nothing appears on the black screen

    Try to launch your Mac in Safe mode by taking these steps:
    - Click on the Apple sign() at the upper left corner of the Desktop, select 'Shut down' from a drop-down menu;
    - Wait until your computer turns off, then press the Power button(⌽);
    - Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift(⇧) key. It should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone;
    - Release the Shift(⇧) key when you see a grey Apple sign() and the progress bar below;
    This will force the system to perform several maintenance routines and load essential system software.
    Once you've seen the Desktop
    - Open Disk Utility application:
    1. Click on Finder at the bottom of your Desktop;
    2. Select Applications folder from Finder's left sidebar and then open Utilities folder (or press Command(⌘)-Shift(⇧)-U), double-click on Disk Utility icon;
    - Choose your main hard drive from the left sidebar ('Macintosh HD', usually);
    - Click on 'Verify Disc' at the bottom right corner, your Mac will perform a diagnostic test. Click on 'Repair Disk' if prompted to fix problems, or follow instructions given on the Disk Utility window;
    - Once the routine finished, click on ""Verify Disc Permissions"", after it's done, click on 'Repair Disc Permissions';
    Wait until it will finish and restart your mac

    If you've downloaded it on the iPad then it should be in the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :
    If you can't find it in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

    Try booting the Recovery Partition.  Power off (hold the power key down for 7 to 10 second).  Boot and hold down the Command and R keys.  Is the screen still black?  If so it is not a software problem so take it in for diagnosis and repairs.  Make a Genius Bar reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country .
