Since Lion update / QuickTime 10.1 fails

Since updating to Lion, and subsequently to QuickTime 10.1, many movies that worked fine before won't open now. I get an error that says, "A required codec is not available." Two things make this even more frustrating:
1. Some movies of the same type still open just fine. I can't seem to find a pattern that links the ones that won't open.
2. The movies that won't open are still available to preview in Finder. If they will play in Finder, why not in QuickTime? Isn't it just a QickTime "plug-in" that plays them in the Finder?
Thanks for the new "stream-lined" QuickTime, but it is hard for me to see how this update is more convenient when it doesn't work!

PS - In addition to playing as a preview in Finder, the same movies also play perfectly in both Safari and Firefox. Seriously, what's the deal ?!!

  • Since LION update problem with iphone syncronisation

    Since the LION update on our macbook we have problems with the iphone syncronisation, reset the iphone has not solve the problem - what ist the mistake?

    What worked for me was not on the Apple troubleshooting list. I tried the whole list.
    First, I reset the phone. (Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home button at the bottom center of the face at the same time. Hold them both until you see the screen go black and the white Apple logo appear. When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.)
    Second, I restored the phone.
    I could not restore the phone until I reset it.
    Good luck.

  • IPhoto can't see items added to Aperture since Lion update

    lots of Lion issues so the actually issue may be much deeper...but.  since i udpated to Lion, Iphoto doesn't recognize any photos, folders or projects added to Aperture since the date i upgraded to Lion.  I'm talking about the "show aperture library" option.  any ideas?  thanks in advance.

    the only app i know of to view the aperture library is when i sync my iphone in itunes.  and surprise, under the photo syncing tab, it is the same issue.  i see my entire aperture library, but none of the photo or projects i've added to aperture since the date of my lion update.  is lion storing photos in a new location possibly?  thanks

  • ICloud on Mail not connecting to IMAP server since Lion update

    Since the latest lion update, my Mail has been unable to recieve or send any mail.
    Mail connection Dr is showing the following error; "Could not connect to this iCloud IMAP server."
    Here's a few screenies showing the problems; http://imgur.com/a/VA7x1
    Does anyone know what this could be? Thanks.

    Thanks for the responces, both!
    I've tried re-signing in, in both mail and through system pref. I just get the following error at the starting "Welcome to mail" splash screen
    The iCloud IMAP server “p04-imap.mail.me.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.
    As to the mail server, I can only assume no! As far as I can remember it was just a case of username+password and I was good to go. Really stumpped as to why this has happened.

  • English since lion update

    hi, since my update to lion my mac shows the programs and apps in english, the finder is in german. the language i choose in german, all the other languages are marked off.why are the programs and the system preferences still in english?

    Normally everything should be in the language which is at the top of the list in system preferences/language & text/language (after logout/login).  If not, something has gone wrong with the install and you might want to try reinstalling.

  • IMac freezing since lion update

    My 24 '' iMac has frozen 3 times since the Lion update. Each time it has been while i was on youtube or had a youtube video as a tab. Anyone else had the same thing?

  • Since Lion update, Mac App Store doesn't work properly

    Hi,
    with the Lion update, my problems with the app store started.
    It loads descriptions, sometimes a few pictures, sometimes nothing. and sometimes it even works fine.
    But most times, the beach ball appears and the app store freezes forever.
    otherwise the computer works fine, including the internet.
    i repaired disk permissions, and freshly rebooted. i tried everything several times.
    the itunes store works fine as well.
    (regarding other posts: i don't use bootcamp, spotlight is active, about 10GB free HD space. there are no other speed problems)
    i have a mac book air 2010, 4 GB ram.
    i'm grateful for any suggestions.
    cheers,

    Hi, thanks again.
    I reinstalled Lion (using Recovery), but the problem remains. Even worse, Apple Software Update didn't work any more. As soon as I selected something for installation (e.g. iTunes), the progress bar would show but then it used to freeze forever (internet connection was fine). I tried several times after reboot.
    The I tried a hard shutdown (holding the power key pressed), and after that, the app store was working (very slowly) and i could also install the software updates.
    However, after a normal reboot, the app store didn't work any more.
    I repeated this twice with the same result: the app store works after a hard shutdown, but not after a normal shutdown+reboot.
    Any suggestions?

  • OS Freezes since Lion Update

    Ever since I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Lion, it has been freezing the entire system on startup.
    I can move the cursor, but I can't click on any files, folders or bars.
    I end up having to do a hard boot of my laptop and try again.
    I know it isn't because of system requirements, because i have a Core i7, 8GM RAM, and a 1TB hard drive (with 700GB free).
    I don't have any apps that load on startup, so it can't be that (unless Lion added soething).
    Anyone else have this problem & or know how to fix it?
    cheers,
    X

    I am experiencing the precisely the same problem.  In addition, text often lags the keystroke significantly.  I have performed disk repair. 
    Below are the feedback messages that I have sent about Lion.
    7-30-11 On five occasions the system has frozen on startup.  Half the time it takes an excessive amount of time for the computer to complete the startup process. Programs lag periodically when commands enter and the autosave feature slows the processes significantly.  These are the kinds of issues I expect from Microsoft, not Apple.  I have never had these kinds of issues with an Apple OS before.  I am very disappointed.
    7-31-11
    Well, this is getting to be a bad habit.  At startup the screen freezes, the cursor can be moved; however, (and this is relatively important) no programs , menus, files, can be selected.  Basically it turns into a painting with a cursor.  About 40% of the time it takes two attempts for Lion to get off its haunches and get hunting. In addition, the appearance of text still significantly lags the keystroke, even in Safari.  I think that Lion was misnamed.  A better name would have been Siamese or maybe gigantic fur ball.  But, what's in a name? A turd by any other name would just stink as badly.

  • LCD colours seem pale since Lion update

    Having updated my 2 month old MacBook Pro to Lion the rendition of color on my LCD screen seems a lot paler in color rendition with a wishy washy appearance.  In photographic terms I would increase the contrast a little and turn down brightness to correct this.  No such controls available however and while I have recalibrated my monitor the issue persists.  Anyone else experiencing this or got any ideas ?   Have the video drivers been changed ?

    PS - In addition to playing as a preview in Finder, the same movies also play perfectly in both Safari and Firefox. Seriously, what's the deal ?!!

  • Since latest update, my bookmarked site fails with certificate key usage inadequate, why? (It works fine in windows explorer)explorer

    This worked the day before I got the "Gettting Started" screen when I started the browser and still works for co-workers who have not gotten the new version of Mozilla firefox.

    That could be a problem with the usage of libPKIX in the Firefox 31 and later releases.
    * https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2014/04/24/exciting-updates-to-certificate-verification-in-gecko/
    It is possible to disable this new feature by disabling libPKIX support, but this is not recommended for security and vulnerability reasons.

  • Mac Book Pro (Mid 2010) is no longer recognized the external monitor since Lion update.

    Mac Book Pro (Mid 2010) is no longer recognized the external monitor sinceLion update. On Mac OSX 10.6, I had no problems.
    Mac screen is just blue, as if he switches. But then there is no further signal.
    What can I do?

    Bump- I have the same issue.  Screen slowly dims for no observable reason until I rearrange to point it more directly at light source.  Odd thing is that the light in the room does not change.  So scren will be fine for hours while I am working and at some point just slowly dim until I rearrange.  Any information helpful.

  • Full screen mode broken in Aperture since Lion update?

    Just been testing and it seems Lion or something has messed up Full Screen mode in Aperture. Any one else getting the same?

    I click top right icon or hit 'F' and it eventually loads to the browser window but the dock is on top. I scroll with 'V' to get to desired view. Usually a beachball for 10 secs.
    Leaving full screen mode using 'F' goes to black screen and just hangs or shows normal mode which then fades and goes back to black. Hitting Esc to get out gives me a black screen and nothing happens too.
    Only way out is to use scroll left gesture on Magic mouse to get back to desktop. have to quit Aperture to get back to normal mode.
    And repeat...
