Quicktime player enable to close the window. How to force the closure?

Something happened in the quicktime player....it don't want to close anymore and the windos still remain open....command Q dont work.
what can I do?
thanks

Do you have Module level When-Window-Closed or Key-Exit triggers?  If yes, what is your code in these triggers?
If you only want to exit the form when the cursor is in the 3rd Data Block, you would check the :SYSTEM.CURSOR_BLOCK system variable in a When-Window-Closed to see if the cursor is in the 3rd block and call EXIT_FORM().
It would be very helpful to know what you are actually trying to accomplish...since performing this type of check may not be appropriate for what you are trying to accomplish.

  • How can I make Quicktime Player 7 appear in the "Open With" menu?

    Well, the subject says it all, I think.
    I have installed SL, and now I want Quicktime Player 7 to appear in the right-click menu "Open With".
    I have tried to rebuild the launch services database like this:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    But to no avail.

    I got curious and checked a couple of things with right click. Some items show QT7 as an option, some don't. One .mov file that didn't had as the default ( ! ) something called "QuickTime Player Launcher" so I went ahead and used that to see what would happen, and QT7 did indeed launch and play the movie. Yet another .mov file that showed "QT Player Launcher" and no QT7 turned out to open in QTX. The first one was made in Leopard, the second was made in Snow Leopard using QTX screen capture. Other older .mov files with the "QT Player Launcher" default open in QTX. I remain baffled by a LOT of the behavior with QT7 and QTX.

    Hello everybody. I am trying to reinstall my Quicktime 7 Pro after having my MacBook OSX 10.5.8 cleaned out following a hacking. I have Quicktime player and I reregistered with the purchased registration code for Quicktime 7 pro. It seems to be successfully registered with "Quicktime 7 Pro" appearing under the inserted registration code but it is not showing in Applications folder and I do not know how to access it or what to do. Thanks for reading this. I hope you can help me. Aidan from Dublin, Ireland.

  • QuickTime player won't close and won't allow me to shutdown

    I Have a MacBook Pro 11,1 - 2.6 GHz i5...IOS 10.9.5...8 GB memory...1600 MHz DDR3.  My QuickTime v.10.3 won't shutdown and won't  allow me to shutdown my MacBook pro.

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, select the QuickTime Player, and press the Force Quit button. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can and use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit the loginwindow process.

  • New quicktime player:  can I move the play buttons off the video?

    Can I organize the Quicktime player like the old version?  With the play buttons / time line on the bottom, outside and away from the video?
    E.g., I do not want the play buttons / time line to "float" over the video window. It's distracting for times when I need to pause and scroll over video to find certain spots.  It is really in the way.
    Quicktime 10.1
    Mac OS 10.7.3

    Wow, that is unfortunate.  It's really annoying to have that in the screen.
    Do you know if Quicktime Pro has the same thing?  If so I won't spend the money for it.
    thanks

  • I need the quicktime plugin, but everytime I want to install it, the whole quicktime player is downloaded without the plugin.

    quicktime plugin from aplle can only be installed with the whole quick time player.
    I download it but nothing happenes, videos still cannot be streamed in firefox.
    I tried to install the plugin manually out of the quicktime file, but it seemes as though the plugin was not downloaded with the player.
    Did I do everything right? what is going wrong?

    I see that I have the QT plugin 7.6.6 in my 'installed plugins' list.  I was wondering if this was a carry over from previous versions of the OS and perhaps this is screwing everything up.
    No. Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    (Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
    The page loads fine for me, but it takes a ittle while before it does so after the Quicktime icon shows.

  • I  can control quicktime player files only from the dock, my mouse does not not close it, and when selected the window fades below the finder or other opened apps.

    Does anybody have encountered this problem, and if so, do you have a solution I could benefit from?

  • What version of iTunes can I download for Windows Vista, with a QuickTime player that won't crash Windows Explorer?

    I have tried installing both iTunes 10.4.1 and iTunes 10.3.1 for 64-bit Windows Vista.  They both install well, but my Windows Explorer crashes as soon as I open either of them.  I have to 'hit the emergency brakes' and hold down the power button on my laptop to stop the meltdown.  After reading other people's threads, I realized that the problem is QuickTime 7.  I still need to find out, however, if there is a 64-bit Vista version of iTunes with QuickTime 6 or lower that can still be downloaded from the Apple website.  I really like iTunes, and I have done without for about two years now.  Please help!!!

    You can try installing the free Flip4Mac
    https://www.macupdate.com/app/iphone/17787/flip4mac-wmv-player
    or alternatively download VLC Player which plays many more formats than Quicktime.

  • I am unable to open "Quicktime Player Document" files. The extension is .mkv.

    I can open them in VLC, but I want to open them in Quicktime so I can convert them to iPod.

    I can open them in VLC, but I want to open them in Quicktime so I can convert them to iPod.
    The MKV file container is not nativelly supported by QuickTime. And, even if you have third-party support for the container, the data formats may or may not be compatible with your system depending on your QT codec component configuration.  You might be better off opening the MKV files in the free HandBrake app and using one of the mobile device conversion presets depending on which iPod model you are targeting. Like VLC, Hadbrake contains its own built-in support for both the file container and most of its common data compression formats. The Perian codec component package and QT 7 Pro might also be a viable alternative but many Lion users are reporting configuration problems.

  • Making applescript to batch shorten MP4's using quicktime player- 95% done

    Hey guys, soo this is my first post and I'm hoping someone here could help me..
    I downloaded a short script from someone, here it is:
    +with timeout of 86400 seconds+
    + +
    + display dialog "Before beginning batch processing, make sure QuickTime Player is set to the desired export settings, and all videos to be processed are in a folder named ‘Input’ on the desktop." with icon note+

    + +
    + beep+

    That script is meant to export files as MPEG4. That is not what I want to do, I just want to shorten the video to -1 second, or 99% or something like that, then save it into the output folder. I would imagine doing this just takes 1 line in the right place but I am lost, I searched google but I can't find anything
    can anyone help me please.. Here are the lines I think I need changed
    + tell application "QuickTime Player"+
    + activate+
    + open the_file+
    + export front document to output_file as MPEG4 using most recent settings with replacing+
    + close front document+
    + end tell+
    how can I change that to trim the video???

    That isn't working for me. When I hit 'compile', I get 'Expected end of line, etc. but found "from".'
    Here is the code I have so far, I have changed it a bit. However my problem now is that it *never trims*
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
    activate
    try
    close front window
    end try
    open the_file
    delay 3
    set time_scale to get the time scale of the front document
    set movie_length to get the duration of the front document
    set time_original to movie_length / time_scale
    set timetotrim to amounttotrim
    set new_time to (time_original - timetotrim) * time_scale
    select at 0 to new_time
    trim
    delay 1
    export front document to output_file as MPEG4 using most recent settings with replacing
    close front document
    end tell

  • I have quicktime player 10 installed on my mac and it is considered the (default) player.  How can I get my Quicktime 7 Pro as my default player?

    I have quicktime player 10 installed on my mac and it is considered the (default) player.  How can I get my Quicktime 7 Pro as my default player?  When I downloaded video from my phone, I couldn't hear the sound because Quicktime player 10 automatically opened the file and there was no sound,  When I opened the file in quicktime 7 Pro, the audio was fine.  I would prefer to have all movie files open automatically using my Pro version.  Any suggestions?  When I trashed the QT player 10 and clicked on the .3g2 movie file, it didn't automatically open with QT 7 Pro.  Instead a window opened wanting to convert the file to Flash.  I don't want that to happen.

    Try This...
    Highlight the file you want Quicktime 7 Pro to open -
    Goto File > Get Info or (CMD I)
    In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
    Select the player you want to open the music file.
    Click the "Change All..." button if you want to 
    "Use this application to open all documents like this.”

    This problem is same as reported here and hasn't been solved:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1370493&tstart=1397
    I have seen this problem appearing on Windows 2000, XP SP2 and XP SP3 with all QuickTime 7 versions (can't tell about iTunes since I don't use it), it didn't bother me because I have no use for QT/MOV myself.
    but.
    I have just installed your latest QT Player 7.60.92 and it craps out with the same error whenever I want to open .mov files.
    And I have downloaded few trailers ranging from small resolution up to highest "HD" resolution from your own Apple website to make sure it is not some encoding compatibility issue.
    I know it is a bug in QT Player itself, so don't tell me please that "my QT got fragmented" or such BS (like the replies suggested in the other thread) or ask about any QT alternative corrupting "official" QT Player since I have no such thing. I am trying to make it work on my mother's computer with freshly installed WinXP (prior updated up to latest patches), machine has standard 32bit intel single core CPU (2.8GHz, 2GB of RDRAM).
    I am really sorry I bought her camera that take those stupid .mov QT videos.
    Apple folks, what's the catch?
    With every crash it creates in user temp directory files like:
    QuickTimePlayer (2009-03-15 16.06.49).dmp
    + folder like WERf743.dir00 with files inside:
    appcompat.txt
    manifest.txt
    QuickTimePlayer.exe.hdmp
    QuickTimePlayer.exe.mdmp

    Yes, same as in the other thread from year ago, the QT/.mov files play fine in the browsers (I have just check on IE7, Firefox, K-Meleon).
    Message was edited by: -888-

    Look, I had it running _few times_ too until it crapped out and gives the error since (on my own other computers - which I don't care since I have no use for any QT/.mov myself, but I repeat from post 1: I need it working on my Mother's comp).
    And talking about 'bad drivers' - yes, I know that the drivers are sometimes at fault and bad drivers can make entire windoze pc unstable or crash; but how can you suggest this as a cause in this case when I'm telling you that the same error appears on completely different machines? And wouldn't this error appear from begining, from very first use of QT Player if it were bad drivers? Sure it would if it was faulty driver, but since it didn't that's not the case obviously.
    Another pointer that it is NOT drivers related problem is that all other audio-video programs work fine, without errors and problem-free on the same machines, including playback of some of the .mov files with Media Player Classic or VLC - while they crap out with QT Player. If it was any of the drivers for audio or video, directx acceleration, etc - the faulty driver(s) should and would affect other programs as well. Yet all of them work fine and as I said - some even play QT files too (the ones capable of).
    /edit:
    Just to test it I "caved in" and I have installed entire iTunes 8.0 garbage (as suggested by foobula earlier) since I couldn't get just QTPlayer part of it to install separately, and what do you know:
    LO & BEHOLD! same .mov files play fine with QT7, no errors, no problem! (I have opened/closed same .mov files many times).
    Then I uninstalled iTunes and all of its junk,
    removed any traces of it (because it left out - in a Microsft style - plenty of garbage in registry, user appdata folder etc),
    rebooted,
    installed the "standalone" QT Player 7.60
    and hello Apple my darling! - same error is back after just 2 playbacks of very same .mov files!
    (I used Apple's own .mov trailers for testing just to make sure I have "right" quicktime files:
    http://movies.apple.com/movies/weinstein/inglouriousbasterds/inglouriousbasterds -tlr2_1080p.mov
    and
    http://movies.apple.com/movies/weinstein/inglouriousbasterds/inglouriousbasterds -tlr2_480p.mov
    - and I repeat: both played once each fine (haven't play till the end though, but I'm sure that doesn't matter since the problem appears from the start)
    What better proof you need that the problem is only with QT Player in a "standalone edition" (or whatever Apple calls it) and not with any drivers etc?
    As previously, both play fine when links opened in a browsers (so the QuickTime whatever-components responsible for audio and video rendering WORK FINE and its not any "bad drivers" problems, it is just QT Player application's problem)
    Again: (I hate to repeat myself)
    *I don't want any itunes or other junk,*
    *I just want .mov files to open with quicktime player - no more or less.*
