Quicktime Pro will not export - it hangs with 'initializing'...

I got a new iPod video for Christmas. I downloaded iTunes (7.0.2) and then upgraded to Quicktime Pro using the quicktime installed on my Windows PC (7.1.3). I fired up quicktime and tried to export several different AVI files to ipod format. Every time, it starts the process, shows 'initializing...' and then hangs indefinitely. I noticed my computer is running at around 60% cpu. I've seen this same problem shown in a number of different posts - but no one has found a solution to this problem yet. Since I'm new to quicktime/ipod, I can offer only a very limited viewpoint, but it seems to me based on my experience and the number of other unanswered posts on this same issue, that there may be a bug in the software. I'm really excited about my new ipod video, but I'd enjoy it much more if I could actually get my videos on to it.

Converting to iPod settings takes a long time.
Try this as a test:
View and save any online video (a movie trailer for example).
Open this file, note it size and time, and export to iPod.
Time the export so you know how long the conversion takes.
Multiply this two minute (or whatever) conversion by the time of your AVI and you'll know about how long it will take.
My Mac and QuickTime converts while I sleep.

Quicktime pro will not export movies

Last year, after I updated to qt 7.X I and bought the pro key, it would no longer export movies correctly. It was a common problem and the fix was to uninstall it and reainstall 6.X. Since then it has been updated several times and is required for itunes. So, I finally reupdated to 7.X (7.2 as of this morning) and what a surprise, qt 7 still does not export movies correctly. It takes hours to export and then fails. Just like when qt7 first came out. Now, I cant even find the link to uninstall the crap and reinstall 6.X

Ok, let me see if I can clarify some. What I want is for the quicktime pro 7 that I payed for to work. I do not want to have to uninstall it and go back to qt6 (which I already know works properly because I had to resort to reinstalling it once before). Yes, I was irritated that I could not find the link to revert to qk6 as a last resort. But, I would rather not take that last resort. I would like the product I bought to operate correctly. Especially since itunes and other apps will no longer work with qk6. QT7 has been update around half a dozen times since it was released and still does not operate correctly. And I certainly don't want the hassle of reinstalling the entire operating system.
The two problems I am having with qt7 are... (1)It takes hours to export the same files that qt6 used to export in minutes. (2)With qt7, when I export an mp4 video, only quicktime on Macs will play the video. Any other player, even quicktime on windows, can only play the audio. Wmp does not play it at all. This did not happen with qt6. Any player could see the entire movie with no issues. Now, I can avoid the second problem by exporting it as a quicktime movie instead of an mp4, but it is nowhere near as efficient as an mp4. The file sizes with a qt movie are much bigger, yet the quality is much lower. I don't believe I changed any settings that could have caused the mp4s to suddenly stop working correctly on other players.
And i'm currently at work on another computer, so if teh problem doesnt sound familiar to anybody and I cant be helped without knowing the codecs i'm using, I guess i'll have to wait until I get home to look that up. But if you can suggest codecs in the meantime that maybe I have not tried, I could try those while I wait to see if the codecs I am using are wrong.

I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Forgive my ignorance but I have never hear of iTunes Document Manager Pro. If you mean Document Manager Pro, i was able to find that. Back to your problem, have you tried opening one of those files in the iOS iWorks apps? Form the quick read that I did about this, .cwk files can be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote, depending on what type of document that it is and those files can be read by Document Manager Pro, after properly saving them. I don't see that you can go directly from the .cwk file in Document Manager Pro without converting them first.
I took a very quick look at the app, so I may be a missing something about its capability.

QuickTime Pro will not open .wma (Error #2048)

I have a few .wma movie files that I have created in (the horrible) "Windows Live Movie maker".
I wanted to be able to play these files on my iTunes, so I foolishly purchased QuickTime Pro after reading the description. "QuickTime 7 Pro can convert your media to different formats, so you can watch a movie or video on your iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV..". But it refuses to open any .wma files so that I can convert them. I keep getting the error message #2048. I read somewhere that installing new codecs might help...? If so, please treat me like 5 year old and explain to me where to start with that. Or should I just give up on it altogether?
It is really frustrating... I've ripped my hair so much I have bald spots and they are growing by the minute
Any solutions for this problem will be very much appriciated! Thanks!

I was afraid of that.. :-(
Yeah... well, I've tried to import the files to iTunes, both through drag'n drop and by Files/Add to Library but nothing, zip, zero happens. Not even an error message appears. I have no problem with adding mpeg4 files but I get no reaction when trying to add the wma's...

Quicktime Pro will not open

I recently purchased Quicktime Pro v.7 for the PC. After installation I was able to access the program ONCE. Now when I attempt to open the program, it appears to be opening then drops to the bar a the bottom of the screen (minimized). It will not expand / restore, so it's really quite useless. I re-installed it several times, even got a clear download and removed the old file. It simply will not work. I spent what seems like a lifetime looking for help on this site, or (imagine this concept) some sort of actual interactive support option here at Apple.com.
If anyone can help or knows the secret handshake to actually talk to someone at Apple, please share.
HP PC Windows XP

Resolved! I used some of the KB info on the Apple site and gleaned that the problem may be with the user identity. Don't know why, and don't really care at this point. What I did was create a new user on my computer, then using that identity, opened QT Pro. It worked! Then, I switched back to the other ID and QT Pro opened for that user as well. (Note the word 'switched' may be related to the message 'switching' on the QT Pro opening window.)
I hope this works for you too. After I got the app to open for my original identity, I was able to delete the new one and it continues to work fine.
And finally, yes, I was able to get the app to open by opening a .mov file. Good luck!

Macbook Pro will not boot up / circle with line in it

Mid 2012 MacBook Pro bought brand new
OS X Yosemite
Core i7
16Gb memory (upgraded shortly purchase)
500Gb SATA
About a month ago my laptop started running really slow then locked up, I had to hard power down and every since it will not boot up, all I get is a circle with a line through it.
It will not boot to restore DVD
It will not open safe mode
it will not boot to USB
I have removed the memory (2 x 8gb) and tested one at a time did not help
Removed the HDD and tried to boot to DVD did not help
like I was saying above this all happened at once one min it was good then it locked and I have never got the OS to boot up again

I was going to say try single user Command/ S. but you tried that. You say you tried a dvd. What OS was on it. The 2012 Macbook Pro does not come with a bootable dvd, unless you make one . And it has to be an OS that is the same on newer than the year of the Macbook. Will it start to the recovery partition by Holding the option key or Option/ R at start. Also your machine is suppose to be able to boot to internet recovery using Command/Option/ R. Did you try that. Need to find out if it's the hard drive or something else. Having some kind of USB external boot drive would help. There is also internet hardware diagnostics by holding down Option/D at start up.

Help Quicktime Pro will not Activate

I purchased the full version of Quicktime Pro 7 on December 28th last year, and I wish to reinstall it on a fresh new iMac, but every-time I enter the activation codes and my name (which are exactly as Apple supplied them in the original sale receipt email) it comes back as "Invalid Code"
I have tried cut and pasting them in, inputting them manually (making sure that the correct case is used) all to no effect.
It is driving me absolutely nuts, and I cannot find any where to contact Apple for help on this. It would appear that Apple are of the opinion that "...we have the money - sort it out yourself..."
Can anyone here please help or advise me on this as I am really fed up with it.
Kind regards
Drusus

Sorry I should have explained better.
The key was purchased for the Mac version on Dec. 28 2005 when I bought my iMac which is a PowerPC version.
I should have said I was installing it on a freshly formatted iMac (I was having a few problems with Adobe Creative Suite and decided to do a fresh 'erase & Install of OS X on the iMac to help clear out some of the crud that had accrued) and seeing as this is the same machine it was installed on prior to the reinstall of the O/S, it should still work.
Everything else works just fine, in fact better now that I have done the 'Erase & Install'.
I cannot find anywhere for the telephone support for Apple in the UK, and even then as I understand I have to pay £35 for the pleasure as it is over 90 since I registered it.
I cannot say that I think Apples support is very good at all - everywhere I look it just points me back to the Discussions forums.

Quicktime Pro will not upgrade on Windows 8.1

Purchased Quicktime Pro via Apple Store- applied the the registration key and the app reports "invalid registration". Quicktime version 7.7.5.
TOSHIBA Satellite P75-A
WINDOWS 8.1
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU@ 2.40GHz 240GHz
8GB RAM
64-bit OS, x64-based processor

Duhhh...needed to change the "registered to" name field- it had previously defaulted to my email address...when I applied my Apple Store ID name, in the "registered to" - the upgrade worked.
This should be noted in the email with the license key/upgrade sent to the purchaser.

After last uppgrade, Quicktime Pro will not play audio on my avi movies.

After last update, I will not get the audio on my old .avi movies. Does Anyone else have the same problem?

That actually did the trick. Well played. It would be nice if that were in *any* of the support documentation for AirPlay.
Many thanks.

My 20 minute video in Pro will not export

When I try to export my around 20 minute trip video it will begin to encode the video but will stay at 0% - I have let it load for 2 days now and no progress has been made. I have restarted it many times and it does the same thing. When I try to cancel the video export the entire program crashes.

I was trying to export the video when the error occured
This has never happened before
I am also running After Effects and Photoshop
I have no third-party effects or codecs installed
Computer Hardware:
Intel i7 4770 CPU @ 3.4GHZ overclock to 4.0GHZ

I am not using Mercury
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated - THANKS!

First off, in case you haven't already done so, the most basic troubleshooting step: reboot the computer.
Next, I would start by creating a new project, creating a very simple sequence--like just a Universal Counting Leader or a Bars and Tone--and seeing if that exports successfully. This is just to test whether exporting is completely broken on your system or if the scope of the problem is limited in some way.
If the minimalist sequence succeeds, then I would use the divide-and-conquer approach to try & isolate what part of your sequence is throwing the exporter a curveball. You can do this several ways:
disable first all the video tracks, then all the audio tracks
If there are multiple video +/or audio tracks, then disable one track at a time. Or if you have a lot of tracks, disable half of them, then the other half.
Use In/Out points to divide in half by time.
Select all>Remove Effects.
For all these test, use a copy of the project so you don't run a risk losing any work.
By this approach, you should be able to zero in on the problem area in a few tests.
If encoding fails no matter what you do, I'd disable overclocking. I have a rather dim recollection of reports that overclocking introduced problems with exporting.

Acrobat X Pro Does Not Export to Excel with Proper Format

I just upgraded from AA8 Pro to X Pro because 8.0 didn't run well in Windows 7. It was much easier to export a report from a PDF to an Excel table and in 8.0 I never had this issue with the formatting.
Sorry for all of the screen grabs, but I don't know else to explain what is happening.
The the original PDF of the report I need to convert to a table in Excel:
Using Save As... > Spreadsheet > Excel Workbook, here is the resulting table created by AAX. Note that the date is displayed correctly the format is "Custom":
Note the "Custom" format displays the date using the standard U.S. English convention, but when you change the format to "Date" it switches to the Chinese convention.
When selecting the cell containing the September 4th date, it recognizes it as a "Date", but it thinks it follows the Chinese convention, hence believing September 4th is actually April 9th.
If I select all of the cells and set the format to "Date" and "English (U.S.)", the dates where the Day value is below 13 and could be interpreted as Month, switch with Month and September 9th becomes April 4th.
Now here is the kicker, if I export the report PDF to a Word doc, the data appears as a table in Word, as it should. I can copy of the table from Word and paste into Excel and the dates are formatted properly. I am frustrated that in AA 8.0, I could select the data, right-click and send to an Excel doc that automatically opened. It now seems that I have to export to a 3rd program and copy and paste the data. Please tell me this is a known issue and there is a fix coming soon for it.
Again, I never had this issue with AA 8.0 and other than upgrading to AA X, there has been no other changes to my system.

Hello,
i am having exactly the same issue with Acrobat X Pro - with linked Excel 2010 tables in Word 2010.
Has there been a resolution to this eissue - it is potentially very time consuming to work around this issue for me.
I would post my files but I don't know how to attach them to the thread - only my second post .
Cheers,
slobbering_dog
This is the Word File - the table is an Excel 2010 spreadsheet linked (via Paste Special >Link) .
This is the resultant PDF file:
Thanks in advance - again !!

Final Cut Pro will not export

I have finished my project, no errors, all rendered and ready. When I go to export it it wont export. When I press command + e, it doesnt do anything. When I try anythin else, I get this error message: (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1). What do I do?

You probably need to update the software.

Premiere will not export Uncompressed or DV compressed video files

Working with CS4 with all current updates...
I have no issue exporting any other format (that I know of) including flv and wmv and m2v.
I am using PCs with Windows 7 Pro 64bit on a Desktop with 8GB RAM and Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on a Laptop with 4GB RAM. I've had nothing but problems with CS4 since I cleanly installed my Desktop and purchased my Laptop. Adobe Premiere will not export DV compressed with video, only audio, and will not export uncompressed at all! I have a system with Vista Pro 64bit at work, and none of these problems are there.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the whole suite (plus removed all preferences files and went in to the user profile and manually removed any traces) to no avail. As I am experiencing this same issue across two totally different systems, is it a known bug with Windows 7 64bit? Is there any way to fix the issue?

Sorry it's taken a bit to get back with you... I've been busy on another system. My assets are R3D files at 4k resolution under the Red 1080p preset. I have a Core2Duo with 8GB RAM, 2TB HDD, Running Windows 7 Pro 64bit and CS4 Production Premium. What other system specifics do you require?
I do have a Matrox RTX2 card; and did not uninstall and reinstall it when I uninstalled and reinstalled my CS4 software.
As for Export:

Quicktime Pro will not export - it hangs with 'initializing'...
