QuickTime runs poorly on iBook G4

I'm writing about my old iBook G4, which is running 10.4.11. No QuickTime movie will run well. Running Safari 4.0.5 and Quicktime 7.6.4.
Any thoughts?

bajoro,
You don't specify the CPU speed and the RAM that your iBook has. Generally speaking downloaded QuickTime movies will run better than streamed videos.

Win 7 x64 Itunes and Quicktime Running in Task Manager nothing seen! Help

Ok I'm running out of ideas- I' I have uninstalled multiple time various version of itunes. It upgraded to 10 automatically then a few days ago it wouldn't run. Looking in task manager itunes and intones helper are running. Thought a simple wipe and reinstall would solve it alas no. Been trying all week various reinstalls of different versions, all the same thing occurs, It appears to be a system wide fault. Disabled Bonjour enabled- no difference. Disabled all windows services aside form the apple ones - no difference. Started in safe mode- itunes refused to start. Gave up and reinstalled 7 and it worked until a reboot (and also it itunes store and ipod drivers for Win 7 x64 are not there) where the same probelm occured. Installed airport seeing if it would update the relevant dodgy files in Bonjour.
Getting sick of finding why this is happening and I can't;t find where this bug is, and I've spent far too long trailing through the web trying to solve this and not one single one has worked so far!
Please Help!!

Sorry, Itunes+Quicktime the intaller neither of them will open (they appear to be running in task manager however). Downlaoding the sperate intaller for Quicktime, the installer on its own, then quicktime runs and opens.

QuickTime runs .avi-file with black screen

I've recorded my little daughter with our new digital camera and have loaded it on the computer, but QuickTime run it with black screen and without any sound. clips recorded with my mobile phone are running without any problems.... what can I do?

I tried to open GSpot.exe, but it says:"Error opening Data file C:\Dokumente und.....\emp\wza58c\GSpot27.dat: (where i downloaded it) This file must be available in the current working dir or the .exe dir. Please ensure you are not attempting to run GSpot from inside a ZIP file."
When I click "ok", it says Invalid gspot.dat file:"
sigh
What next?

Why does quicktime run like crap?

Why does quicktime run like crap, skips frames like crazy? If I install xvid codecs instead and play the movies in windows media player they play without a glitch. Why is that? I'm must say I'm not impressed with the first apple software I've tried. Also another annoying thing... I don't want iTunes and all the other crap with it! Just quicktime. Also almost all the menu's are blocked with pro upgrade.... do apple customers have to buy quicktime pro as well?

Impossible to say, "allp", without knowing anything about your system, the version of QT you're running, nor the movies you're trying to play and from what medium you're playing them. QT movies work just fine on my Dell Dimension 8200 (specific specs on request).
You can download QuickTime alone, without iTunes, here.
And yes, the menus involved with editing and exporting will almost all be nonfunctional until you buy the Pro upgrade. And it's the same with Macs as with Windows; we all have to purchase the Pro upgrade to get that functionality.

If your version isn't 10.0.6 or later it won't work correctly on Mavericks.

My iPad still runs poorly on iOS 8.0.2

My iPad 2 with wifi + AT&T data was severely impaired by iIO 8, and later iOS 8.0.2. I have communicated my problems directly to Apple tech support, visited with the genius bar on two occasions and followed the forums carefully. I have tried everything suggested on the forums, including wiping the iPad completely and setting up as a new iPad. It still runs poorly, has cut-and-paste issues, jerky scrolling, dropping AT&T data every time I close out, etc. Does anyone who IS NOT Philly_Phan or Star Traveler HONESTLY have a solution that works?

My Windows programs on VM Ware Fusion run poorly on Yosemite. Can I change back to Mavericks OS?

My Windows programs on VM Ware Fusion run poorly on Yosemite OS. Can I regress to the Mavericks OS?

Yes.
Your options depend on a few factors, like:
if you made a backup of your Mavericks installation (like with Time Machine) before you upgraded to Yosemite
what the original OS was that came on your Mac when it was new
if your Mac is capable of internet recovery
if your Mac originally came with installer disks (like DVDs), and if you still have those disks.

Will GargeBand run on an iBook G3?

Hi everyone, I'm thinking of getting an iBook G3 but I'd like to use it for recording. Has anyone tried running Garage Band on an iBook and if so what's the minimum RAM and processor speed needed?

It looks like GarageBand 3 came out with iLife '06:

It's probably too new to work with a G3 processor, and, if I remember correctly, even with earlier versions of GarageBand, it took a G4 processor to use GarageBand Musical Instruments with it.

ITunes 7- runs slow, makes ibook run slow

hi,
ever since downloading itunes 7, i've been having a lot of issues with it and my ibook. my computer has been running insanely slow and itunes, if it decides to open at all, takes a few minutes to open. most of the time it just says "application not responding" and i have to force quit even though itunes never even opened. it's gotten to a point where my computer is pretty much unusable. can anyone help?
thanks
ibook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Try to download iTunes 7.0.1 via Software Update. If iTunes is still unstable, then the best way IS to re-install the previous version. Most people are doing that.

Macbook starts up with quicktime running...won't close.

My macbook is booting up with quicktime and safari running and won't allow me to open any applications or allow me to shut down. I have to re-boot several times before it finally cooperates. It goes into this mode whenever I try to open a video file on youtube or facebook. Any suggestions out there?
OS X 10.6.8
Thanks,

Hi ccronic4,
If you are able to boot your MacBook Pro using a safe boot - that is holding down the shift key during startup - successfully, that indicates that the hardware is functioning normally, and therefore that the issue is because of software. The good news is that a hardware repair will not be necessary.
See this article for information about what to troubleshoot further -

Illustrator CC Runs Poorly on Fast Windows 8.1 Machine (Laggy Movement etc)

Illustrator CC runs very sluggishly on my Windows 8.1 machine.
Computer specs:
i7 3770k
32GB Ram
Installed on Samsung EVO SSD
GTX 780 ACX graphics card
It feels like at the very core of the program it is simply poorly optimized. I can draw a shape as simple as a square and just moving that square has roughly a quarter second delay that Adobe Illustrator CS6 doesn't have. This makes everything about the program feel extremely laggy and sluggish in comparison.
I have both the Tahoma and Verdana fonts installed. I've also tried re-installing the program with no success.
CS6 continues to run flawlessly. Any idea what could be causing this?

Did you figure this out?
If not, have a look at your cores... see if Illustrator is only using one. I think it's badly "optimised" as I see many different things only using one core and causing delays in OS and Illustrator.

All Internet Browsers Running Poorly

My MacBook Pro has a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2 GB of RAM, but lately my Internet browser have been running very poorly. It's not an upload/download speed problem, but rather my Internet browser (whether I use Firefox or Safari) will take use nearly 100% CPU. The only solution I've found is to disable Java and Javascript, but that obviously can't be a permanent solution on today's Internet. I only have Mac OS 10.5.8, so will upgrading to 10.6 fix this problem?

In the event it's an operating system-related problem, download the 10.5.8 combo update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866 . Using Disk Utility, repair permissions, install the combo update, then repair permissions again afterwards. Run Software Update in the event it's needed after the install.

Will Aperture run OK on iBook G4?

Hi everybody! I am new to this forum, and I'm hoping for great answers!
Well, I've had a brief look at Aperture, and it looks perfect for my every-day photography. The only "but" is that I'm running an iBook G4. I am not a professional photographer, but I am going to use RAW files in Aperture. I know that it will install in the first place, but will it run OK? It doesn't have to be supersmooth, but a certain speed is required.
Will Aperture run OK on an iBook G4?
Thanks for all answers!

Aperture a waste of money: absolutely not!!
I think you are looking at the issue at end for the opposite end of the telescope.
As I said there are many things you can do with it even on a modest configuration, as long as you are not dreaming about doing real-time 16bits/color image adjustments.
10 megapix RAW images are tough files to handle. They are a new frontier. With my trusty copy of Graphic Converter it took 35 seconds to get a simple preview on my PBG4 15". Unusable. Nikon capture ran slow, so did DxO. Even photoshop ran slow on large images.
Aperture is interesting precisely for that kind of files. It solves the problem of handling those pesky RAW files that I had completely given up on because of the software and computer end. I shoot RAW again, and the result is often way better.
But up until yesterday, you needed a powerful desktop machine to handle serious photo work, or had to restrain yourself to 8bit/color images (jpeg) which are often inferior looking (especially if the picture was not exposed perfectly and you needed some exposure compensation afterwards).
Recent mac laptops are levelling the playing field and allowing laptops to be a viable alternative to a desktop again.
Of course with a slower machine you can always "develop" RAW files one at a time, with this or that. but the true magic of Aperture is to manipulate RAW with as much flexibility, comfort and long-term anticipation of future needs as if it were JPEGs. I think that's priceless but it does cost more CPU cycles....
So this is why I'm saying you might be looking at this from the wrong end: the G4 is basically a 5 years old processor. It won't get any better soon, and it will never get up to the precise challenge at hand here...
Aperture (and other tools emerging now such as Dxo etc) need us to rethink our approach to computer processing of photos, and this is not just a marketing gimmick, it's real...
Hope this helps putting things in the right kind of light..

Kill QuickTime running in the background from my iphone app?

Is it possible to send a kill or stop or pause quicktime command from within an iphone app? I would like to add a button to kill music playing in the background from streaming radio in safari/quicktime so user does not have to launch safari to stop the background music. Example: if I have a painting app the user can press a button in the app that will stop the music. Thanks.

If you're talking about closing running apps, they changed it up a bit from iOS6. Now you just double click the home button to bring up the running apps, side scroll to the app you want to close, then just swipe up.
