Quicktime x play newest opened mp3 first and silence other open mp3s in background

In previous version of quicktime when i had an mp3 playing and opened a new mp3 the mp3 in the one that was playing would move to the background and be silenced until clicked again to bring to the front.  The new mp3 did not automatically start playing, until i would click it.  In quicktime x when i open a new mp3 while one is playing that one that is playing continues to play until i close it out.  How can i make quicktime x play only the instance that is in front and not all the open mp3s?
thanks

You can't with the QT X Player app. The "Play sound in the frontmost player only" and "Play sound when application is in the background" are "Preference" options. Since the QT X Player has no preference panel, you cannot access these options with it. You can however, download and install the QT 7 v7.6.6 Player app which is compatible with Mountain Lion. In fact, both players can be installed/used simultaneously on the same system.

  • I was making a movie on iMovie, and was trying to use the green screen to make a split screen. I pressed on the green screen button, but the second clip didn't play next to the first, and only the audio played.

  • Cannot download Mp3 files and some other format

     Hi people,
    I cannot download Mp3 files and many other files. I cannot update my Ovi Store app and pretty much everything else. I can download pdf and zip using opera but almost everything else (including mp3 and sis files) redirects to Nokia browser which just freezes no download. I have tried another same model phone E72 and no problem.
    It seem my browser is corrupt and can't find way to reinstall.
    Also why don't nokia let us download with browser of our choice? I would rather use opera than inbuilt one

    Hi evstevemd
    Apart from loss of data issue in the circumstances you may have to either "hard reset" or re-install existing firmware to eliminate possible software corruption.

  • A520 Speaker is only playing sound on the subwoofer and 2 other speakers

    My A520 Speaker is only playing sound on the subwoofer and 2 other speakers i tried every thing I could, but cant seem to find the problem (win 8.1)

    I checked on Creative's support site and search for A520 and this is what I found http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowA...aspx?sid=64705
    I think because your source is stereo that's why you are only hearing sound from 2 speakers and the subwoofer. You will need to enable virtual surround in your sound card to be able to get all the speakers playing I think.
    You can do a speaker test by going to sound, playback devices and click on configure to test the channels in Windows.

  • My macbook is loaded with microsoft work and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    my macbook is loaded with microsoft word for macs and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open. This is what it says:
    The application Microsof Word quit eunexpectedly.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    The joys of Microsoft!
    Maybe the preferences file is corrupted.  You should be able to find the Word preferences file in the folder:
    your user name/Library/Preferences
    Its name is com.microsoft.Word.plist
    I suggest you drag this another folder and try Word again. 
    If that doesn't work then you might find clearing the cache files will fix the problem.  You can do this manually but I never bother. Instead I use a program like Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (shareware) or Onyx (free). These programs do lots of other maintenance jobs so it's worth having at least one of them.

  • When using Firefox today a strange page with the title wonderhowto showing video instruction appears and all other open pages are closed. I have minimalised this stranger to the screen base and it now shows there with a mini firefox attached!

    Please bear with me as I am quite new to computers. Early today on start up I was asked to upgrade an Apple app. I declined as I did not have time.
    I opened Firefox as usual and went into several sites mail news etc and all seemed fine. Late morning this strange and quite professional looking video instruction page appeared full of photo's and instructions etc, the page took over the whole screen I thought it was strange so I closed it and all my open Firefox sites had gone. This has now happened several times. I have now noticed that when it is up there is a website address at the bottom of the screen. I tried to copy and paste this but it would not let me. There is a name scorecardresearch.com. Does this strike a bell with anyone?

    Hello,
    My name is Bryan Crow, and I am the CEO of WonderHowTo.com. This problem was brought to my attention this morning by others who have reported the same problem to our contact address: [email protected] I'm very sorry to hear this is happening.
    I assure you this is not something our website created or installed on your computer. Most likely it is some form of spyware or virus that is opening our website in order to hide it's true purpose. We are a large and trusted source for how-to articles and videos, so there is no reason we would choose to annoy people with such an obnoxious and intrusive behavior. Frankly it's very upsetting that someone would create malware that directed people to our website.
    Naturally, our team would like to do whatever we can to try and find the culprit behind this so we can report them. If any of you can provide me with additional information by emailing [email protected], it could help us get to the bottom of this.
    Specifically:
    * Have you installed or updated any Firefox Add-Ons recently (go to Firefox -> Add Ons to see the list of add-ons you have installed)?
    * What Firefox Add-Ons do you have installed?
    * Have you tried running a virus or spyware scan on your system? If so, which software did you use and did it help?
    * What URL is opening up when you see WonderHowTo, and what exact time of day (and in what time-zone) did you see it?
    Thank you for your help.

  • Opening a box and keeping it open until user closes

    I currently have a click box that when clicked displays a number of different stats about the user and a close click box that closes the information when clicked. I want to leave the box open if the user does not close it across multiple slides. Is that possible?
    Thanks
    Marti

    As far as I know that is not possible to do with a Captivate object. The "easy" solution is to create this box in Flash instead and script the open/close command here. That way you will be able to import it to Captivate and have it stay open across separate slides. Of course it does require that you have access to Flash and know how to use it ;o)

  • Captivate 8 trial won't open at first and then won't download on Mac (10.9.4)

    At first, the Akamai installer seemed to work and properly download Cp8. I tried to open it and it wouldn't open. I checked my application files and noticed it was Cp7. I uninstalled everything and tried again. Akamai just went straight to the 'download complete' message and prompted install (didn't actually install). Nothing. Captivate was not installed. I deleted the Akamai installer and tried again, same result (straight to download complete, install - though nothing had installed). I deleted all my cookies and browser history, same result. I tried in Safari, Chrome and Firefox (started with Chrome), same result. Very frustrated. Any ideas?

    Do you have a PowerPC processor or an Intel processor?
    Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and a Mac with an Intel processor.

  • Firefox 3.6.8 fails to load any page if I open Outlook2003 after starting Firefox. Outlook also fails to send/receive although I am able to load pages in another browser. These problems do not seem to occur if I open Outlook first and then firefox.

    I have used Firefox and outlook for years, but this is a recent problem. I can't recall if it started after the latest Firefox update or not. Firefox seems to work fine until I open Outlook. Then it is impossible to load any pages; the loading icon appears and persists indefinately. The only way to load pages is to shut down and restart my pc. Simply exiting and reopening Firefox does not work.
    Additionally, the send/recieve process in outlook fails. My ISP has checked my line and there is no fault. I have confirmed this, since I am able to access the internet on another browser while Firefox is hanging.
    I have tried disabling add-ons, clearing the cache and checked connection settings (I use system proxy settings), but the problem persists.
    I'd be grateful for any help.

  • Can I stop ipad from flipping to Safari every time I click a link in an email? I like to open everything first and then go through my Safari tabs.

    is there anyway I can stop my ipad from flipping to Safari every time I click on a link in an email. I would like to be able to go through all my email and then go to Safari and go through the tabs that have been opened. Currently I click an email, Safari opens, I go back to mail, delete said email, read the next email, repeat.

    No. If you simply click on a hyperlink in pretty much anything, Safari will open since it is the default browser. The only option you have is tap and hold on the link, and then select Add to reading list. It will then be stored int eh reading list in Safari.

  • As a follow up from my recent question, I turned off the compatibility mode under all and regular, clicked out ok, ok then then went to itunes and played a song as they said to, and then tried to open the store and STILL CANNOT OPEN STORE, please Help!!!

    Turning off the compatibility mode by deselecting the check box under each thing that it wants did nothing for my access to the itunes store, still a white page with "itunes store" in the middle of it.  This is getting rediculous! Someone with computer smarts please help, I am at the end of my rope!

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    This happened to me after the last iTunes upgrade.  The solution for my problem was to completely uninstall and reinstall my security software PC Tools Spyware Doctor with Antivirus) Just disabling it did not work.
    There are however a lot of different fixes on other old threads.

    Hi jimmy202011!
    Judging from the issues you are having, you may want to try to reinstall the operating system on your computer. We have an article that explains how to do that without losing your files, and it can be found right here:
    Mac OS X 10.6: Reinstalling Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH6606
    This article does claim that this process will not affect the personal files on your computer, but as with any process that will modify the operating system on your computer, you will want to back up the files on your computer as a safety precaution before you perform this process. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
