Really weird quicktime error - showing stuff beneath it?

I'm getting a really weird quicktime error like something I've never seen before. It's been happening for a few weeks now I guess, but I don't recall quite when it began.
Basically, almost any video I open in it ends up splicing into fragments. The audio works fine, but the video shows part of the video, then part of the windows behind it, then the desktop, then the video, and cycling back again and splicing through.
I'm up to date on everything and I ran disk permissions and I can't figure out what's going on. It's definitely quicktime though - it's affecting my iTunes and my Finder video previews as well, across a whole range of codecs. It doesn't affect VLC or mPlayer.
Any idea what to do?

A&I reinstalls the OS over the existing OS (to the version on your install DVD that came with the MacBook) but leaves user files and installed applications intact. You should still do a clone on an external drive first though. Or at least backup all your data files.
After A&I you then use the downloadable combo updater for OSX and the latest QT for QT, and then after reboot repair permissions. You can then run Software Update for the other updates like iLife etc.
If your install DVD was for 10.4.X and you are not on 10.5 then don't use the original DVD use the 10.5 retail disk instead.

  • Really weird Network errors with AD after create actions with IdM 5.5

    I am struggling with the AD after actions.
    Customers AD support insist that the Gateway is not installed on any domain controller or fileserver in the AD forrest. The customer would like the homeDirectory and share to be created on the fileserver at the same time as the account is created on the domain controller.
    The GW service is started as the domain admin - logon account is test\Administrator not the default "localsystem"
    I map the gateway's local drive Z: to c$ of the fileserver. net use from command prompt shows its status is OK.
    I can net use and any other net command ok from command line. Commands like:
    md z:\data\home
    rmtshare \\fileserver\c:\data\home\....etc etc...
    succeed even when driven from within the gateway C++ program. However, when the DOS command 'net use' is run by the gateway then when I examine the log, I see the response block:
    04/07/2006 11.54.01.550000 [5824] (../../../../src/wps/agent/object/RequestHandler.cpp,66): <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-16'?>

    The net use command gives me error 1222 - no network present.
    If anyone has successfully created remote directories and shares from the after action could you let me know what special WINS DNS permissions are needed.

    Got that but still having problems with the customer test setup.
    In our test AD environment we have 2 machines: the DC named anchor.dog.ad3.palm and a workstation named steam.dog.ad3.palm
    The workstation has the gateway service and it runs under the account dog\Administrator the domain admin.
    Ok. I can issue these commands via this <act> </act> block quite ok in our test environment.
    set >> c:\capture.log
    net use >> c:\capture.log
    md F:\data\home\username\data
    rmtshare.exe \\anchor.dog.ad3.palm\username$=c:\data\home\username /GRANT everyone:F
    cacls F:\data\home\username /T /G dog\username:C builtin\administrators:F < c:\yes.txt
    I can see things go aok at home. Where local disk Z: is mapped to \\anchor.dog.ad3.palm\c$
    At customer they have a VMware setup for testing. The AD dc is one virtual machine and the GW is on a second virtual machine. domain there is test.local.
    If I type the md and rmtshare and cacls in the GW dos command prompt window they succeed, but when run via the gateway the net use command shows Z: as Unavailable.
    Has anyone met this problem before?
    Its a messy situation here as the customer has outsourced their AD admin... these people insist on the GW not being on any DC. In their view since it works from command line there is no problem with the AD setup.

  • Using iWeb to publish my mobileme photo gallery -really weird bugs help plz

    I have a really weird problem and have tried searching the forums already with no luck.
    I'm using iWeb09 to put mobileme photo album on my website. When I initially add the widget onto my page, the widgets will show a "preview" of what pictures are in the gallery if you hover your mouse over it. Later during the day, I'm not sure if I did anything to mess it up but that "preview" is no longer there. It's just a black box. It still works however if you click on it because it takes you to the mobile gallery.
    The only way for me to fix it was to delete the mobile me album and create a new one. Then re-add the widget onto my iWeb.
    This has happened twice to me already and I cannot figure out why it happens. I'm sorry if my description is vague. Please help.

    There is no point in re-installing iWeb, because after you have published it really is not an iWeb problem - if there is something not working on uploading the files, then it is really nothing to do with iWeb after html pages have been created.
    If you are using Fetch to upload, then you have obviously published your site to a local folder? If so, are the photos there when you look at your local site? If they are there when you publish to a local site, then it is an error in uploading and if photos do not show, it means that some things are not being uploaded to your server correctly.
    Have you tried using Cyberduck instead of Fetch? Cyberduck or Transmit are two of the better ftp programmes to try.

  • Quicktime errors during install, uninstall, or run

    Quicktime errors during install, uninstall, or run. No error code. It just says it encountered an error and must exit.

    I located a previous response that satisfied my issue. Below is the process that allowed me to use quicktime.
    The "fatal error" in this context has (recently) been indicating trouble with old, misplaced QuickTime componentry lurking about in your system.
    (Whether or not the message is a symptom of that problem seems to depend on what version of old misplaced stuff is lurking and what version of QuickTime proper we're trying to install or uninstall ... but in recent times, there's been an uptick in fatal errors being caused by that.)
    So let's try investigating that possibility first.
    First we'll adjust some view settings on the PC.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in "My Computer" open Local Disk C: (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "System32" folder.
    What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • The Share Operation has failed: QuickTime Error: -50

    I just updated to FCP X 10.0.8 and all of the sudden I am getting share errors when I attempt to export.  I have tried sharing to youtube and sharing for apple devices at 1280px X 720px using H.264 codec.  Each time I get a quicktime error: -50.
    I am editing on a Mac Mini 2.7 GHZ Intel i7.  8GB memmory OS 10.8.3.  The video files are AVCHD 1920x1080 24fps and live on an external 6 tb GTech Raid external hard drive.
    So far, I have tried deleting both my project file's render files and event render files.  I have copied the project to a new project and re-rendered.  Each time, I am seeing that several tiny little segments are showing as un-rendered (orange bars above clip on timeline).   I'm guessing that this might have something to do with the error?
    I am not using any images and the music I am using is an AIFF file.  I re-timed some of the clips for slow motion.
    When I try to share as "export file" > Video and Audio > Apple Pro Res 422 at 1920 x 1080 I get "The share operation Export File has failed" The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 1403 (error - 1).  But I'm not sure how to view frame numbers.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    I've tried deleting all the render files several times and it doesn't work. 
    Interestingly enough, when I copy the bad clips individually to a new project and then export them, they export just fine.  They do not have the weird orange render bars. 
    Check out this link to see a screenshot of my timeline.
    I'm not sure if my clips are optimized.  My import preferences have the "create optimized media" checkbox checked, but when I actually imported the files, I did not check the "create optimized media" checkbox.  Although, on my hard drive there is a folder for transcoded media > high quality media and it has some clips in there, including the bad clips.  So I guess it created optimized media?  Is there another way to tell if a clip has been optimized.
    Here is a screenshot of my preferences.
    Here are my project properties.

  • Problem when exporting to Vimeo I get message "The share operation has failed. Quicktime error: -50" The file only gets to 8% before this happens any idea how to fix I have a movie deadline to meet!

    Hi all,
    Finished editing a short movie.
    Then went to share on vimeo but got this message - see also screenshot when I tried to export to desktop.
    Problem when exporting to Vimeo I get message "The share operation has failed. Quicktime error: -50" The file only gets to 8%.
    Have tried deleting my render files for the project and also another fix mentioned of deleting any black space files on the edit itself but neither work?
    Just upgraded to OS Mavericks could this be causing it? If so how to downgrade?
    thanks
    Louis B

    Thanks for your help both, I called Apple tech support and spoke to a really helpful chap called Andrea who helped me out. Now got my Master file sorted and am trying Vimeo upload again.
    Just to clarify points for people out there with the same issue:
    First steps
    - Ensure background rendering is turned off in preferences
    - Delete project and events render files
    - If upgraded to Mavericks then go to FCPX in finder under applications hit buttons 'CMD' and 'I' together and tick the 'prevent App Nap' box.
    Next Steps
    I had already done all of this when Apple Tech spoke to me so we discussed the message 'Quicktime -50' and what it meant. It wasnt a purely generic error message but was not detailed enough to point to one specific issue. This problem had occurred in previous years (so Mavericks not wholly to blame) and patches were issued over the years by Apple to help resolve some of the problems.
    The message essentially is indicating that there is a problem somewhere with the media in some way shape or form.
    My export went to 8% then failed. Apple's answer was that the project settings were corrupted in some way.
    So what they suggested (so simple I could kick myself) was to select all the media files by 'CMD + A' then copy them 'CMD + C' then create and open a new project timeline, and then paste in 'CMD + V'.
    Then we tried export again this time to a master file with some settings detailed by Apple.
    The difference now was it got to 40% then failed but due to a different reason 'error -1 frame 10124 error'
    At last we get past the project issues and into the event media issues, it seems that when I loaded the compact flash last night, the iMac kept ejecting the reader so had to copy files over quickly and seems that some of the file clip I used although showed on the viewer, didn't seem to have loaded all the correct media, so selecting this clip frame 10124 on the viewer I found that it showed as red on the frame row which implied an issue. So I simply bladed it off and deleted it.
    Then I reran the export to Master file and it worked, though jumping from 40% to 100% complete was a shock to me!
    Now am trying the export to Vimeo - hope this helps some of you out there. Worst case pick up the phone to Apple and speak to the Final Cut Pro guys they can help.
    best wishes,
    Louis B

  • New Quicktime error in SL

    I just upgraded my hard drive and so installed Snow Leopard from scratch instead of as an upgrade. Whereas before when I was running SL as an upgrade to 10.5, I had no problems running Quicktime. Not so anymore.
    With fresh install of SL but applications from old mac transfered to this one via time machine, I get the following Quicktime error ONLY WHEN I LAUNCH SOME OF MY HOME MOVIES (i.e., not with downloaded video files):
    You can't use this version of the application Quicktime Player.app with this version of Mac OS X.
    You have Quicktime Player.app 7.6.
    The weird thing is when I launch other movie files, it is Quicktime Player 10 that launches. What is up with this? My Applications folder only shows one copy of Quicktime!

    Install QuickTime Player version 7.6.3 from the Snow Leopard DVD Optional Installs package.

  • Failed: QuickTime Error: -108

    Everytime I try to use Compressor to create a file using the 'HD for Apple Devices (10 Mbps). it fails within seconds with an error message of 'Failed: QuickTime Error: -108' . I only get this on my MacPro 12 core. The Macbook doesn't have this issue. I guess the error lies within Quicktime itself. Any suggestions appreciated!

    OK, Compressor should show up in the list when you click the Purchases button:
    The official way to reinstall is to hold down the Option key while you click the Purchases button. I assume it looks to see if it's installed. If it isn't, then it says Install at the right instead of Installed. Again, this is assuming you've trashed the original program from the Applications folder. I can't remember if it's enough to put it in the trash, or if you have to actually empty the trash, or if it also works if you've copied the App file to an external disk and then disconnect that.
    If yours is not working this way, or if Compressor is not even showing up, then I think one of two things is going on. #1 - is it possible that you have two different Apple IDs and you're signed in with the one that did not make the Compressor purchase? or #2 - there is a problem with your Apple Account and you're going to have to get help from tech support. If it's the correct account but it does not remember what you have purchased, then you need to get that straightened out.
    I'm sorry that you're having these glitches, but this is the accepted technique for reinstalling - I've done it myself.

    What is going on?

    Got this error -50 too.
    At first thought it could be due to incompatible format but when I isolate it, it was alright.
    But when I change my ext HDD, the problem stops. Weird.
    My guess is maybe due to insufficient memory space (well at least for me).
    Good luck ...

  • Itunes + quicktime error message - service 'ipod service' (ipod service) fa

    Help! Got new iPod Nano for Christmas and I STILL cannot get it to show up in iTunes - it has showed up in my device manager - with an over the icon - "The drivers for this device are not installed (code 28) To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Drivers. - Then another error - Wizard cannot find the software to instal -(my iPod did not come with a disk!!!)

I have read so much - even emptied the battery and recharged!!! HELP! Please! I just wanna hear some music!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

    Thanks - I got it to install by going into 'run' to get to permissions, etc. So that seems OK - but my computer is still not acknowledging iPod software and for some reason iTunes is now showing 'the URL could not be opened' when I go into Help for iPod. It's still not showing up in Itunes, either

    I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys.  What's really weird is that happens randomly.  I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this.  Can anyone help?  of course this happened after my warranty expired.

    **update**
    I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose.  In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!).  Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind.  I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store.  But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working. 
    So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off.  Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
    Hopefully this might help someone.

  • Quicktime error -50 with "H.264 for DSP"

    Hello.
    When compressing for HD DVD with the profile "H.264 for DVD Studio Pro" (on macosx 10.5.5, QuickTime 7.5.5) I systematically get a QuickTime error -50, about which I am finding no information at all. More, precisely this is what the logs report
    (in com.apple.stomp.transcoder.stomp.log)
    ... msg="Processing service request error: QuickTime Error: -50"
    (in com.apple.compressor.cluster.admin.log)
    <log ... msg="Handling exception: ... fatal exception = QuickTime error: -50, fail count = 1." />
    <log ... msg="Stopping the failed request." />
    This happens with all kind of sources, but only when the setting is "H.264 for DVD Studio Pro". All other settings work as expected. I don't know what to think, possibly an upgrade problem, possibly one of the QuickTime plugins installed on my system might be interfering (but then perhaps the error should occur given a source for all output settings, rather than vice versa, fixed the DSP setting for sources of all kinds). Google doesn't seem to know about this, searching this mailing list hasn't helped, nor grep-ing my system for more expressive error reports.
    In way of help, can please anybody:
    (1) confirm that they are able with Compressor 3.0.4 to produce H.264 for DSP
    (2) shed some light on what this QuickTime Error: -50 might be, perhaps by pointing me to log files where some more information is given? (fatal exception -50 is not very helpful, really...)
    My interest is of course to learn how to bypass the problem, or alternatively to convince DSP to accept H.264 in HD DVD projects generated by encoders others than Compressor with "H.264 for DSP" profile, or alternatively to understand how to make DSP accept H.264 generated by a third-party encoder (eg x264). Does anybody know?
    thanks

    Hi:
    I've been experiencing all sorts of issues with compressor, somewhat like this. I think my quicktime plug-ins are the culprit. Example, I have been exporting directly out of Motion with no problems lately, but when I export to Compressor I see my "Flip4Mac" import window several times, then Compressor either fails to export, or crashes.
    I would suggest trying a direct export from FCP or Motion, or whatever your source is. See if that works. Just bypass Compressor and choose your HD DVD option from the export window. It does the trick with Motion.
