Quicktime Player Has Suddenly Started Recording My Videos Fast

All Of A Sudden Quicktime Player Has Been Recording My Screen Really Fast, It Does It Whilst Playing Games And My Normal Desktop Too.
If Someone Can Help Please Reply.

Hi RhysF78,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
What version of Quicktime Player are you using?  Do you get the same behaviour in a different user account on your iMac?  Here are a few suggestions to address this issue.  I'm including some articles from our Knowledge Base with more detailed information:
1) Quit all open applications and restart the computer ... often times this "refreshes" your system.
2) Try and SMC / PRAM reset
3) Uninstall the Quicktime application and redownload it.  This will not affect any movies you've already created.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • Hello! My MacBook Pro has suddenly started running slow.

    Hello!
         I've had my MacBook Pro for since 2011 and it has suddenly started running slow. This has been going on for a month. I've restarted my MacBook several times and even shut it down when I know I will not be using for the remainder of the day. I've tried numerous things to make it run faster including deleting useless files like text documents, pictures, videos, etc. I currently have 92.67GB free of 500GB . I've noticed that when it gets hot it starts running slow or when I play a video game and sometimes when I play videos online.

  • My iMac Mid 2010 Has Suddenly Started To Slow Down.

    Hello,
    My iMac has suddenly started to slow down. It was fine just a week ago.. Login time has increased, Applications take a while to start and they can sometimes make my computer unresponsive.
    Finder freezes and so does safari.
    I have deleted ALOT of old files and things i don't use anymore. I deleted my Windows Partition. I have also tried my options in disk utility but it seems to have not no effect. I also re-installed Mavericks.
    I don't know what else to try. Please let me know if there is anything i haven't tried.

    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?

    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.*

  • QuickTime Player has stopped working

    On my Vista machine, I can not run Quicktime since I get the error "QuickTime Player has stopped working" so it basically crashes. If I run Quicktime from other user accounts it works fine. It also works fine if I run it "as administrator". I have uninstalled and reinstalled it with no success. I have also followed suggestions in this forum to erase some hidden quicktime related files with no success. Does anyone have any other ideas???

    Many thanks. Best to print off a copy of these instructions, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
    Preliminaries
    Switch "Run as administrator" off in the QuickTimePlayer.exe compatibility tab.
    Download and save a fresh copy of the QuickTimeInstaller.exe (installer file) from the following page. Get the option that doesn't mention iTunes. Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Now quit all of iTunes, Safari and the MobileMe control panel if you have them installed and open. (They all use AAS, and may interfere with the uninstall if left open.)
    *Uninstall phase*
    Head into your Uninstall a program control panel. Uninstall QuickTime. Uninstall Apple Application Support.
    (From this point, none of iTunes, Safari or the MobileMe control panel will launch until we reinstall AAS, which should happen when we reinstall QuickTime.)
    Next we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
    In "Computer" open "Local Disk C:" (or whichever drive you have your program files installed on).
    Open the "Program Files" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Open the "Common Files" folder.
    Open the "Apple" folder.
    Right-click on the "Apple Application Support" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    In "Computer" open "Local Disk C:" (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "System32" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" and "QuickTimeVR" files (if they still exist) and select "Delete".
    Empty your Recycle Bin.
    (If you got any error messages on the uninstalls and/or deletions, let us know what they say. Precise text, please.)
    *Reinstall Phase*
    Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the reinstall by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier. (This should also reinstall Apple Application Support.)
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    ... does QuickTime launch without the error this time? Or do we still have to do the "Run as administrator" thing?

  • QuickTime Player has encountered a problem...

    Hello,
    After speding a better part of the day to install iTune 6 and QT7, I am out of ideas.
    Each time the "QuickTime Player has encountered a problem..." occurs. The specific problem is with "QuickTimeAudioSupport.qtx"
    Here are the highlights (none worked, virus scan disabled)
    -installed iTunes wtih QT
    -installed stand-alone and the iTunes
    -installed alternative QT, iTunes still did not work
    -renamed QuickTimeAudioSupport.qtx, QT began to work but of course without sound
    -updated video driver
    -updated audio driver
    -numerous other variations
    So, based on the reported error and the fact that QT does not work stand alone, I believe the first problem lies with QT. If there any way to correct this problem?
    Thanks a million in advance for any help.

    I'm afraid there's a serious problem with the Windows version of QT7 being released. A week ago, I convinced a friend coworker to download QT in a pair of brand new PCs running Windows XP, in order to view the skinned example in Apple's site.
    It crashed both Internet Explorer and Mozilla, with no apparent reason.
    Remedy: we had to install QT version 6.x ...

  • My iMac G5 has suddenly started to run slowly and I don't know how to fix it. I've run utilities which says it's working fine.

    My iMac G5 has suddenly started running very slow. I've already gone through all the tricks I can think of, including reinstalling Snow Leopard and running a hardware test, which tells me my computer is OK, which it most definitely is not. Every little thing I try to do causes the beach ball to spend for 30 to 60 seconds. I'm typing this on my older computer, which is running fine. It would take me an hour to do this on the iMac that is affected.

    First, you do not have an iMac G5 - they can't run Snow Leopard.
    Have you checked the available disc space? For smooth running you need at least 5GB and preferably nearer 20GB free space.
    Look at the bottom of any Finder window and see what it says is available.

  • Quicktime player has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    Hi, I'm having real problems running QT on my pc. I've tried several combinations eg- 7.02 with Itunes, 7.02 without itunes plus also the last 6.? version.
    Each time,the programme is fine until it reboots. Then it is unable to open either programme- bringing up 'Quicktime player has encountered a problem and needs to close' screen.
    I'm guessing its quite a common problem but I don't have enough time to trail through all the posts.
    Please can someone offer me some advice, Its driving me crazy!
    Thanks

    Can someone please help me with this??
    I can't reinstall quicktime or uninstall
    it says i am missing quicktime/installer.msi and then it closes

  • My pic 3 has suddenly started draining the battery in only a few hours even when I am not using it. Might this mean something is running all the time? I recently downloaded Dropbox. How do I check? What do I do about it? Or is battery faulty? Tim

    My ipad 3 has suddenly started draining battery in only a few hours. Even if not in use. Might this be because a programme is running in he background? I recently downloaded Dropbox. Might my photos still be downloading after a few days? How do I check? What do I do about it? Or might my battery be faulty? Thanks, Tim.

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon.  The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A."  The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC.  Do NOT use an iPhone charger.  Do NOT use an iPod charger.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
    According to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

    Hello Nazer_502,
    I would be concerned too if my iPhone was acting this way.  It sounds like it is overheating and not holding a charge. I recommend following the steps listed below when experiencing an issue like this:
    Battery life seems short
    Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
    If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
    When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
    Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.

    Looks like a bug somewhere in PS - would be interesting to find out if it's happening to more than just us.
    Actually this looks a lot like a bug with a GPU driver.
    Has the issue reoccurred since you turned off GPU usage?
    My trouble is I just use PS and expect it to work.
    Well, as Adobe did not make your computer, OS, GPU, … you have to do your own trouble-shooting to verify if the issue is actually with an Adobe application or with another component.

  • Portege A100 has suddenly started freezing

    My Portege A100 has suddenly started freezing for no good reason.
    It also has trouble powering on sometimes in that the blue light comes on the harddrive spins up but not a lot happens and the screen remains blank.
    Other times it will get into windows and allow me to use it then all of a sudden stop responding completely.
    It does this in safe mode as well ad from a cold boot.
    The odd thing is that it seems to be triggered physically sometimes but I couldn't swear to this and it may just be a coincidence.
    any ideas?

    Hi
    You description sounds very strange because the issue what you have described happens sometimes. Possibly its only a software malfunction???
    How long does the OS runs on the notebook???
    What do you think about the reinstallation by using the Recovery CD?
    Such reinstallation and fresh OS could sometimes solve the frizzing issues.
    But if the notebook will not power up so you should test other suggestion.
    You should remove power pack and ac adaptor from the notebook. Then wait several time (10-15min). Put the power pack into the notebook and connect the AC adaptor.
    Then start the notebook.
