QuickTime/WMP/RealPlayer - ALL BUSTED

So it seems that after the new Quicktime update, I'm having some pretty serious issues. My problem is that while QuickTime will still play (though it takes about 4-5 minutes for a video to open), other videos in RealPlayer or Windows Media Player no longer have sound! The videos in mention all previously played with sound, but after the update something seems to be lost.
Any idea what the reason for this could be? Or how to change it? I've tried re-installing both applications which has not helped. (Also - how in the world do you trash the entire Windows Media Player file???)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks-

Just solved my own problem with just a little research - and here's an answer for anyone else with a similar problem:

How can I stop QuickTime from streaming all internet videos?

HI
When I updated my ITunes all the media file associations were changed to QuickTime. I want the Windows Media Player to keep the associations.
What I did so far is:
I have disabled all associations in QuickTime player options (except .mov) and turned on all associations in Win Media Player (which I prefer for streaming internet videos) however QuickTime still opens all onling videos. How can I change that. Is uninstalling QT the only solution to this problem?

Changing the the file associations from within QT and WMP settings may not be enough if there are current files on the hard drive that have been previously associated with that media player.
Try right clicking on one of those files, Where it shows; Opens With: click on the Change button, and choose what media player to handle it

Quicktime Player opens all past viewed videos

As I opened my first video in Quicktime it played fine, then I closed Quicktime Player and opened another video. At that point the new and old videos opened. The more videos I viewed the more that opened. I cannot close individual windows I must close Quicktime to close all windows. I can no longer just open one video.

Here are the Terminal commands:
to disable Resume in Preview and QuickTime Player X:
defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
Quit the apps before you run the commands. Again, swap "true" for "false" to reverse your change.

URL opens in Quicktime, Expected Realplayer

This script on another computer successfully opened the target_URL in RealPlayer. On this computer it opens it in Quicktime and gets an error message 403. The same version of Realplayer is installed on both in the application folder and .ram and .rm open with Realplayer. What could be the difference? How can I change this from Quicktime to Realplayer?

How do i disable QT so that WMP plays all mpeg files?

I continue to play with the preference under "file types" for both players, but I cannot fix this. Whenever I click on an mpeg link, it plays in quick time. I want it to play in WMP without having to uninstall QT everytime.
Does anyoen know how to fix this?
Thanks

Whenever I click on an mpeg link, it plays in quick time.
In your QuickTime Preferences, click on the "Browser" tab, and click the "MIME Settings ..." button. Expand the MPEG ... entry and uncheck all the MPEG entries.
Is that of any help?

Quicktime Logo on all website videos i.e. youtube, myspace

Please help. I have Quicktime Pro. Any website that has video on it wont let me play it. It always has the quicktime logo on the screen where the video should be!!!! I tried changing the MIME settings in quicktime preferences. I unchecked the box next to miscellaneous as i read on youtube to do this. Im new to apple mac so Im still getting used to it. This might sound like a stupid question but when you change settings and just close the box using the x button does this apply the changes or how do I apply the changes after changing settings?? Please if anyone has a solution for me please tell me as im going mental trying to work it out. Macbook is going to have itself a little fall from top floor window if I cant fix it LMAO. Cheers people. Tracy

Dear QuickTime Kirk or may I call you QuickTime,
Thanks for the suggestion which I executed as soon as I read it a day or two ago. Unfortunately, it made no difference and I can only get Q?-free flash stuff on my old G4 with Tiger, to whose stability and reliability I have now sadly entrusted all mail and web related work.
Leopard is in my view simply a cosmetic upgrade and clearly has some BAD QT and web problems. Removing (on another correspondent's advice) the QT webplugin helped a little, so at long last I could run the otherwise unviewable Leopard demo on Apple's own website (ironic or what?); but opening, for example, Epson's website presented me still with loads of Q?s which are beginning to undermine my confidence in the new OS.
But thanks for your kind interest!

How to keep Quicktime from hijacking all graphic settings?

In the past when I have been brave enough to install quicktime player it has always screws up my registry.
Since Apple, in all its wisdom, has not made a plugin for media player, in order to view .mov files from my son's Kodak camera I have to install quicktime on my machine. When I do it hijacks virtually all programs that display or edit graphics and makes Quicktime the default program. I never noticed an option to NOT do that automatically.
Where do I find those options in the quicktime setup program?
Also, if I forget to uninstall quicktime when I am done with it, it tries to do daily (or maybe hourly) updates, constantly demands access through my firewalls, does it all again every time I try to play a .mov file, and constantly intrudes upon my use of my own computer. How can I turn off these objectionable "features" and still leave quicktime installed on my computer?
Any ideas?

I found it. By default Apple, in all its wisdom, sets Quicktime as the default viewer for a bunch of non-quicktime filetypes. When I start quicktime from the start menu and select Edit>Preferences>Quicktime Preferences it gives me the option of unclicking boxes that do the hijacking and it presumably returns control to the correct programs.
I also find there a box to turn off the incessant updates and the tray icon.
Problem solved. The last time I had to install it I could not find these options. Too bad they don't offer the options at the beginning of the setup process - it would give a lot more confidence in their product.
Of course, the perfect thing would be to offer it as a plugin for Windows Media Player so we would not have to have so many competing (and registry space hogging) programs on our machines.

Referenced quicktime movies crash all www browser quicktime player plugins?

About a week ago I noticed all the referenced quicktime movies on my site began to crash my WWW browsers (chrome,firefox,safari,IE7) only on Windows 7 64-bit. On Mac OSX 10.6 & iPhone the movies played as expected. As soon as I stopped using the referenced movies, my Windows 7 browsers stopped crashing.
I'm using referenced movies so users are displayed a movie which is appropriate for their bandwidth and device.
Has anyone else run in to this issue recently?

I had the same experience recently. I wanted to watch videos on the Apple in Education page, and after clicking on the video it crashed Safari. I tried different browsers (Chrome, Firefox Opera) and had the same result.

ITunes not working. Quicktime not deleting-all happend after computer virus

please help. my iTunes has been down for months. ever since my computer was attacked by a virus, it doesn't work. some other programs such as my photo program doesn't work either. what should i do? ive tried everything!!!

Have you tried this:
Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime
(Compiled from the collective wisdom of toonz and Da Gopha)
If you want to guarantee a successful upgrade and be proactive about minimizing potential install issues, do the following:
1. Completely Backup your music and iTunes library files.
2. Virus check / spyware scan your machine.
3. Completely remove / uninstall the current version of iTunes and QuickTime from your system.....
3a. – Do a Stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes
3b. - Then download and install the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility
.....And make sure iTunes is really gone.
4. Delete the contents of your temp folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp
5. Reboot the PC
6. Turn off all security software such as Norton, McAfee, SpySweepers, any TSRs, etc. (exit via the system tray)
7. Start with the QuickTime standalone installer run from the PC (not directly from on-line)
8. Reboot the PC
9. Turn off all security software such as Norton, McAfee, SpySweepers, any TSRs, etc. (exit via the system tray)
10. First completely download, then run the latest iTunes Installer from your PC
11. Reboot the PC
The majority of problems out there on the discussion boards are caused by viruses or other system corruption — sometimes self-inflicted by the user (i.e. - people who turn off necessary Windows services) — or out of date drivers.

QuickTime installation breaks all Java programs.

There is a bug in the QuickTime installation program for Windows that causes all Java programs to fail whenever QuickTime is installed or updated. As part of the installation, QuickTime updates the system environment variable CLASSPATH to reference a Java .jar file needed by QuickTine in order to run properly. This reference is C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_01\lib\ext\QTJava.zip.
The problem is that in Windows, any file path that contains whitespace characters must be enclosed in quotation marks. This is because on the command line, Windows interprets any whitespace character to be a parameter seperator. So when Windows tries to resolve the file path, it resolves to two seperate paths, "C:\Program" and "Files\Java\jre1.6.0_01\lib\ext\QTJava.zip". This causes all Java applications to generate the following error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Files\Java\jre1/6/0_01\lib\ext\QTJava/zip.
The solution to this problem has been well known for years, is widely published, and is very simple to implement. Enclose the file path in quotation marks, so that the CLASSPATH entry is exactly as follows (including quotation marks) "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_01\lib\ext\QTJava.zip". This tells Windows that everything inside the quotation marks is a single parameter, which then lets all Java applications run properly. Everytime there is a new version of QuickTime I have to field numerous complaints from co-workers that they can no longer run our Java applications. This bug has existed for at least two major release versions, 6.x and 7.x.
Please fix this bug.

A jar file does not have to be an installation program. The jar file can be your entire program neatly encased into one file. If you mess around with the manifest file, the jar file can be executed by double clicking on it.
Example: You have a program that you execute from the command line using: java Program
First, write a text file that has:
Main-Class: Tagssave it as manifest.txt. Make sure to put a blank line at the end of the file. Then, on the command line, type:
jar cvfm Prog.jar manifest.txt *.class
Done! Double click on Prog.jar and let me know if that is what you were looking for.

Opening preview/quicktime etc opens all recently viewed items. how do i turn this feature off?

since upgrading to Lion, I've noticed that when opening programs such as preview and quicktime it opens up a slew of recently viewed items. i can imagine how this could be a nice feature for one that is referencing said items, but i find it to be a nuisance and i dont like the screen clutter that comes from this. id like to instead open WHAT I want to open vs what my MBP thinks i might want to look at. is there a way to turn this off? its driving me nuts.

Quicktime hijacking Realplayer files but can't play them...

Every time I click a Realmedia Streaming media file, an .smil file, Quicktime opens instead of Real Player, and then errors on trying to play the .smil file. How can I stop Quicktime from opening instead of Real Player?
Quicktime Pro 7.1.2 OS 10.4.7, Real Player 10

Highlight one of the downloaded .smil files and "Get Info".
Change the Open With from QuickTime Player to Real Player.
You may also want to remove the check mark for .smil (QuickTime sys prefs/Advanced/MIME Settings) to allow the Real Player plug-in to handle the extension.
