Quicktime player issues

When I open my quicktime player it automatically opens all the previous videos I've watched. How do I make it stop?

When I open my quicktime player it automatically opens all the previous videos I've watched. How do I make it stop?
This is a relatively new OS feature which seems to be causing no end of problems for Mac users who have developed poor work flow habits. By default the latest Mac operating systems will "remember" which project/application windows are open when an application closes. Basically, you have three options with the QT X Player:
1) You can close each movie after viewing it. (I.e., this is my normal work habit based on years of using the application and is what I normally recommend other users do on a routine basis.
2) Users who have developed the habit of letting the QT player close all open movie player windows when the QT X Player app is closed can continue to close all open players by simply holding down the the "Option" key when closing the app as depicted here...
3) Users who don't like this feature can turn it off system-wide by going to the "System Preferences... > General" window and ticking the "Close windows when quitting an application" option. However, as I use this feature extensively in many applications to restore projects "in progress" to the same status as when I last closed them, I don't usually recommend this option.
In any case, use whichever option best suits your current application work flow habits.

  • ITunes & QuickTime Player Issues

    For the past few days I have been unable to load iTunes. I have tried to reinstall both iTunes, but have encountered many problems. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes with QuickTime Players from the iTunes website, and followed the installation procedures but when I click on the desktop icon I get the following error messages…
    QuickTime failed to initialise Error # - 2095
    Please make sure QuickTime is properly
    installed on this computer
    I have tried to uninstall both iTunes and QuickTime using various methods including:
    Control Panel>Add or remove programs
    Cleaner>Tools>Uninstall
    But am convinced neither of these methods has been successful as every time I attempt to uninstall and re-install from scratch I am unable to run iTunes and encounter problems with QuickTime Player.
    Has anyone else encountered similar problems, and could anyone assist me in where I am going wrong and how I can get iTunes up and running again.
    This is the last throw of the dice for me, as I have spent the best part of an afternoon and evening trying to sort this problem with no joy whatsoever.
    Thanks

    Thanks, it working now. However, I am getting a new error message now when I want to make iTunes as my default media player. Here is the error message:
    It's similiar to my previous issue. This time I need to create permission for iTunes. Where would I have to go this time to gain permission? Please let me know and thanks again.

  • Quicktime Player Issue (Can't find appropriate forum)

    What should I do in order to get sound playing off .avi files? My Quicktime Player (Pro) says I should go download a codec, but it just brings me to the web site and never says which. There doesn't seem to have any codec suitable for the purpose. What should I do?

    I would start with Perian.
    Here is a link to the Quicktime for Mac OS discussions.

  • QuickTime Player Issue

    Am unable to open QT Player. Prompt sys "QuickTime Player requires Windows 2000 or later". I made sure that compatability mode was disabled in QT and iTunes. I am running Vista 64bit. Any suggestions?

    The Display setting boxes when checked will produce the error QT requires 2000 or later on a XP computer. So don't know why it didn't work for you but I believe your using Vista which could be the difference? Or possibly permissions, are you the computer administrator? Also does your video card software have settings, that's about all I can think of

  • QUICKTIME PLAYER BUG on 30" ADC

    This is a new thread continuing a thread which someone wrongly flagged as having 1 "Solved" answers available.
    For reference the previous thread is here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6101938#6101938
    The issue affects Fullscreen video (and some resized video) in Quicktime Player in Leopard (all versions of OS & QT up to of 14 Dec 2007)
    It occurs on Resolutions higher than 1920x1080 but more specifically 2560x1600 on 30" Displays
    It affects PPC & Intel with either ATi & Nvidia Graphics cards.
    The video playback can be "choppy" (especially HD content) and some people like myself are experiencing a shearing of the video vertically just left of centre.
    All other software (Quickview, iTunes, Final Cut, et al) seem to play the same video correctly indicating that it is a Quicktime Player issue.
    Also when any overlay (AV control, Adjustments, etc) are present over the Quicktime Player it plays back smoothly and then reverts to choppy and/or shearing when the overlay is cleared.
    A few work-arounds are to use QuickView or iTunes, or to lower the resolution of the display to 1920x1200. However this is absolutely unacceptable as many of us will have paid 1000s for our setup including an 30" Apple Cinema Display to run at 2560x1600 and use Quicktime Player because of its video adjustment features.

    I think all you need to do is Reset your iPhone (press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo, then release).  My iPhone 5 on 7.1.1 does not do this, so it is not an iOS bug, just a quirk in your particular installation.  Worse case, you may need to do a Restore of the iPhone, but try Reset first.

  • Quicktime Player play mov issue

    Hi
    Why Quicktime Player play mov have wave line?and MPlayer play is look fine.

    a very old version of Final Cut, Final Cut Express HD 3.0 ... I bought a Nikon D3100 DSLR
    The Nikon D3100 records video as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.   This is not usable in FCE.  You will need to convert the video to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec in order to edit the video  in FCE.  Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the video clips from your D3100.  Also, before importing the converted clips into FCE, select one of the FCE Easy Setups that matches how you shot your video ... 1920x1080i60 for example ... create a new sequence and then import the converted clips.
    That said, I think you may still run into some issues with such an old version of FCE.  FCE 3.0 only supported DV and HDV video, neither of which exactly matches what your D3100 can do.  You will be better off upgrading to Final Cut Pro X, the current version of Final Cut.

  • Audio Hijack pro quicktime player audio sync issue

    I am trying to record youtube videos using quicktime player (screen recording the game) and Audio Hijack Pro (recording the game audio and skype audio). The problem is, when I edit the video, the comentary on a cirtain event very gradually gets further and further from the event in the screen recording. Is there any solution for this? If so please tell me. Thanks.

    Yes. I own it. I solved the problem. I had a trial version of another sound enhancement program called WOW. I removed it and the problem is solved. It was obviously running in the background even though I thought I had uninstalled it.
    All is well now.
    Thanks!

    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:

    /edit
    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 Error Message: "QuickTime Player quit unexpectedly"

    Error Message:  "QuickTime Player quit unexpectedly"
    From the error report (sent to Apple):
              QuickTime 10.2 (603.6)
              Operation:  Launch
              Application Specific Information:  [565] stack overflow
    Hardware and software configurations:
              MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display
               Mac OS X 10.8.2
    Affects ALL .mp4 files (double-click and attempting to open file from within QuickTime)
    Occurs when attempting to launch QuickTime by double-clicking an .mp4 file, or attempting to open an .mp4 file from the QuickTime menu.  Attempting to open ANY .mp4 file results with this error message.
    QuickTime is the default application for all .mp4 files.  Reseting this option via the Finder "Get Info" had no effect.  Changing the option to another video player (e.g., MPEG Streamclip) allowed the .mp4 files to play.  Returning to QuickTime as the default player resulted in same error message (i.e., "QuickTime Player quit unexpectedly").
    The video files (.mp4) are not the problem; ALL of the files open within iTunes, MPEG Streamclip, and other video players.  The problem appears to be limited to QuickTime or something that is interfering with QuickTime.
    Note that no external drives or other peripherals are connected to the computer when this error occurs, except for a Wi-Fi connection via an Apple Time Capsule (disconnecting the Wi-Fi did not resolve the problem; same error message occurred when attempting to open an .mp4 file).
    No 3rd party QuickTime plug-ins have been installed.
    QuickTime was working fine and playing ALL videos until the last week.  No discernible usage pattern is evident for diagnosing the reason for the error message.
    Note the exact same problem is occurring on two separate MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display systems, both running Mac OS X 10.8.2
    Mac OS X 10.8.2 software is up-to-date.
    Rebooting the system did not rectify the problem.
    Two separate computers, both exhibiting the same problem with different .mpg4 files.
    Any ideas?
    The consideration of a reply is appreciated.

  • HT201290 why is QuickTime Player not working when i try to open this files i got in a external hard drive some one els lend me ???

    i have a macbook that was resantly upgrade we running Yosemite 10.9 OS and the external hard drive is fairly current brand name WD capacity 500GB with 147GB free lots of its contents are QuickTime Player videos that will like to open some other media is available in different format and is working properly, i have download a more current version of QuickTime Player and it sound better at list sound like it is going to star playing but it don't... so please if some one can help me with some answers will be real appreciate , thank you kindly looking forward to hear from you is my first time asking questions about apple it feels a bit like a shoot in the dark !

    Is the friend's external drive where you said these files are, correctly formatted
    for use with Mac OS X, or is it set up for use solely with a Windows format?
    If you copy one of the QuickTime files into a folder, in your computer and try
    to run it from there, does it work at that point? It may not. Could be the drive
    you borrowed from a friend has some other issue; perhaps creator account
    and permissions may also be limited by how the content was added there.
    There is way too much missing information for me to guess, but I wonder about
    how the hardware was set up and if the files are actually available to your Mac.
    The QuickTime support page itself should be a portal to more information...
    QuickTime
    The above link is part of this larger section:
    http://www.apple.com/support/mac-apps/
    Perhaps someone will see this ASC discussion thread later in the day (2AM here)
    and maybe can offer a more direct reply. There are several articles in Apple Support
    database for applications and other items (such as QuickTime) & the support site is
    searchable. Sometimes the database is hard to find exact articles or topics, though.
    Hopefully the issue is not too difficult to determine the cause...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Quicktime Player not playing from USB drives

    Throwing this at the Gurus out here,
    Got an interesting issue going on with my USB drives. I have media that won't open with Quicktime on two 3TB USB drives, but if I move the media to Macintosh HD it runs. I checked permissions on the drives and am able to run the media (photos, audio or video) with Quicktime Player 7, but not with the normal Quicktime Player.
    Any hints? Thanks.

    Never mind. After I had uninstalled, reinstalled, updated everything...
    it still needed one more reboot. Then it worked again.

  • Context menu oddity: 2 "QuickTime Player" items on OSX context menu?

    Hi,
    This pertains to QuickTime Pro 7.0.4. I never noticed this before I upgraded to QuickTime Pro 7--when I right-click on a file that can be opened in QuickTime, I see two QuickTime Player items on the context menu. Either one opens the movie.
    More specifically--when QuickTime is specified as the default application for a file, QuickTime Player appears at the top of the context menu as well as in the list of other applications that can open the file. When QuickTime is not the default application, two QuickTime Player items appear in the list of other application that can open the file when right-clicked.
    I looked through the Contextual Menu Items folders, but couldn't find any duplicate files. This affects both my G5 desktop system and my PB G4; both are runnning the latest version of Tiger (10.4.6) as well as the latest version of DivX. On my G5, I have Final Cut Studio installed; but not on the PB.
    Anyone else experience this oddity? Any idea how to get rid of the duplicate item on the context menu?
    TIA
    M

    The contextual menu "Open With..." command uses data from the Launch Services app (part of the system software).
    Having duplicates in the menu is a very old issue and there are dozens of reasons why multiple apps show up. It could be reading a "backed up" duplicate app or multiple copies (I have 4 versions of the QuickTime Player app installed) of the software.
    Cleaning out the Launch Service list can be done with some third party software (I don't know the names) or with some Terminal commands (don't know them, either).
    Maybe a Google search or a search at http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx can help you out.

    In what file type and compression format did you download the YouTube content? I.e., to avoid such issues, you would normally download the source files as content that is natively compatible with your target player or convert incompatible file type/compression format combinations to files that are compatible with your targeted media player.
