Quicktime only opens minimized and won't maximize

This started happening after I installed Skype. I uninstalled Skype, but QT only shows up as an icon in the task bar, and nothing I do will make it maximize. Any ideas?

I have the same problem. Nothing that I have done works so far.
I had Skype on my computer before installing Quicktime and had no problems with until after I updated my iTunes application.
What I have found to work is to force it to pop up. What I did was selected a song, right-clicked it and selected open with. I then looked for the quicktime icon on the list and selected the icon. It should pop up with the song ready to play.

    I have an Airport Extreme, the light is only flashing amber and won't go solid green. I use my ipad 2 to try and setup the Airport and I keep getting "an unexpected error occured, try again." I've tried my iphone 4 with the same result. I've tried the utilty on my pc and same result. The airport is producing a great wireless signal and working to all devices. I really just want to get in and set the password.

    When you did those resets, did you continue to hold in the reset button until the status light blinked several times?  If you didn't, then you didn't do a full reset.
    Here's what I do to reset an AirPort base station:  I unplug it, press in the reset button, then, while continuing to hold in the reset button, I plug it in.  (Yes, doing this can be easier for people with more than two hands!)  I then watch the status light and wait until it flashes rapidly several times.
    I have a Time Capsule that I couldn't configure at one point.  To recover from that I had to unplug it for many hours.  You might try unplugging your unit overnight.

  • IPhone plays only one playlist and won't others

    Hi guys,
    can anyone help me; I have my iPhone for so long time, always updated with latest version of software, but recently after latest update 3.1.3. iPod plays only one playlist and won't play any other. Also can't enter any other artist file or videos. When I try to, Ipod closes! The rest of phone works fine.
    Could it be problem with latest update? How can I reset latest update?
    Thanks!

    The latest update works fine for most people, but your's might not have been applied correctly for some reason.
    Try the standard troubleshooting steps in order:
    Restart your phone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset your phone: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Quicktime hijacks file types and won't relaease them

    Have to have it for Ipod but I really hate Quicktime. It's worse than AOL on my computer. For God's sake let me decide what files you open. The only way I can see MPG files is to uninstall Quicktime.

    Ok, this one is fairly simple:
    1. Go to a/the file in the filetype that u don't want quicktime to open (in your case a .mpg file)
    2. Right-click it and put your mouse over "Open with", when the thing pops up, hit "Choose Program..."
    3. Find the program u actually want to use (i'm presuming its Windows Media Player)
    4. Click it and then check the box below that says "Always use selected program to open this file type"
    5. Hit ok and u should be all-good
    Well, hope it works out, post back here and if it dosn't I'll run through some more complicated stuff

  • Home page set to folder does not open links in multiple tabs. Only opens one and only partially.

    Hi there,
    In 'Tools / Options' my Home page set to a folder but does not open multiple links in tabs. It only opens the first link and only partially opens the page.
    The 4 pages I am trying to open are:
    http://www.live365.com/index.live
    http://www.facebook.com/login.php
    http://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=10&ct=1193340789&rver=4.5.2130.0&wp=MBI&wreply=http:%2F%2Fmail.live.com%2Fdefault.aspx&id=64855
    http://webmail.123-reg.co.uk/index.php

    Hi this did not work either.
    Also when I tried to log into this forum the browser just kept taking back to the login page. There were no errors, it was as if it was stuck in a loop. The page refreshed but moved no where. My user name and password were there but nothing happened. It took a reboot to allow access.
    This seems to be something I have noticed. When a page reopens on start up or from a link it will not load the page properly causing errors.
    Also on a similar note the new Firefox is not remembering passwords. Specifically to hotmail.
    Cheers,
    Ash.

    This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.

    I haven't yet tried the safe mode but I can.
    I did the Windows update in the earlier reply and there were some updates. Those were installed and the computer restarted.
    I have had Flash player crashes for some time. In my Plug-in Add-ons, I have two versions of Flash player, the newest one and an older 15 one. I have the older one set to never activate. The problem is the new one also keeps going disabled.
    When I have tried to just update the Flash Player, I am never able to exit Firefox. I try closing the tabs and going to the Exit icon. It will keep telling me Firefox is not closed and it can't continue.
    I tried to Uninstall the flash player in that program, and it is the same thing. It will not uninstall with Firefox open and nothing I try will allow it.
    It is interesting that I tried to import my bookmarks to IE since this problem and it doesn't even recognize there being a Firefox browser.
    Please tell me step-by-step how to do the two other suggestions in the earlier reply. These are regarding the Flash player.
    Firefox is still crashing.
    Thanks,
    Karen

  • ICal is not completing its update when I open it and won't sync

    I have been using MobileMe and iCal with my devices but since yesterday something is wrong.  It's not synching but I think this is iCal on my Mac that has the problem.  I have Snow Leopard. I changed a subscription and I was downloading some calendar events from a website (that converted them from outlook to ical automatically).  I started getting a server error which I thought was related to the subscription so I deleted the subscription and added it from scratch.  That seemed to get rid of the server errors but it still didn't fix the sync issue.  Then I deleted the subscription to eliminate it as an issue but it keeps re-appearing. Why won't it delete for good? 
    In addition, all the calendar items I added from the other download (into a regular calendar) had floating for the time zone so I changed all those to Eastern Time (my iCal is set to CET right now but the conf is EST so I want to have the appts show up in the time zone I will be in next week). 
    Ever since the problems started, the spinning wheel next to my calendar never quits, which means it isn't synching to MobileMe or anything else.  I'm no longer convinced this has anything to do with the subscribed calendar since the server error went away but why does a deleted calendar re-appear?  I've used my iCal in different time zones so I don't see why this would be an issue but I am at a loss.  I've been going through all kinds of troubleshooting on the website and I don't see the problem or a fix that makes any difference. 
    Can anyone help?

  • Why does iphoto stay in the background off screen when I open it and won't stay on screen?

    Since yesterday every time I try to open iphoto it stays out of sight. I can bring nto view using mission control but I cannot work with it.
    I have downloaded mountain lion and iphoto but I still have the problem

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Plotter says 36" paper is only 35.97" and won't print 36x24 prints in landscape.

    I have an HP T1100ps plotter. Loaded with 36" roll of paper. I continually have to "force" the print on the ARCH C paper becasue the plotter thinks the paper is 35.97" instead of 36". Sometimes it will print the 36x24 in the portrait fashion and thus forcing me to cut and wast 12x36 pieces. It wouldn't matter other than I have 800 prints, do the math.

  • My 2nd gen. ipod touch won't get off the 'slide to open' screen and it won't slide... Shows lock symbol at top.  What do I do to fix it???

    My 2nd generation ipod touch won't get off the 'slide to open' screen and won't let me slide to open.  It shows the lock symbol at the top.  This is my first time to have one so I'm a little lost... Is it fried or is there a trick to unlock and get it open?  Yes, I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff and I have no manuel to read and learn from.  Someone please help!!!!

    - First try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults.
