Stop Quicktime from opening web images

Before installing iTunes/Quicktime, certain web images were opened with Microsoft office document imager...which let me move the document, zoom in, etc. Now quicktime opens them and it does not allow me to do anything with them. It will work correctly if I uninstall Quicktime, but then iTunes wont work. How can I get MS document imager to open these files again?

Well, I finally fixed it by just removing the plugin, which doesn't make iTunes quit working. The original filename for the plugin is npqtplugin.dll -- you'll find it in the plugins directory of your browser program files. (Usually these are located in the Program Files directory -- somewhere like
c:\Program Files\Mozilla\Program\Plugins -- the path name may be different on your computer, so just look for the plugins directory for your browser.)
The tricky part is that there could easily be several copies of the plugin -- the others will be named npqtplugin2.dll, npqtplugin3.dll and so on. (I had four different copies in all.) I deleted all of them; if you feel nervous about this, just rename them.
When you restart the browser, it will be gone, but iTunes will work fine. For some reason, it's apparently included in the install/uninstall process for Quicktime, but iTunes doesn't seem to miss it.
Incidentally, qttask.exe is the Quicktime task for the local computer, not for the browser. Disabling it won't do anything for this problem.
Good luck!

  • How to stop Quicktime from opening every time I play an online video

    Everytime I open a video on CNN.com it opens in Quicktime. How do I stop this from happening?
    It used to play online through the website and I would prefer that it do this again. Any help?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    do you have the Flip4mac plugin installed?
    if you do, you'll see it at the bottom of the System Preferences window..... Open the Flip4mac preference, select the plug-in tab. There's a check-box for
    Launch Quicktime Player....movies will be launched in QT instead of the plug-in
    if that box is checked, you would get the problem you describe.

  • How to Stop Quicktime from Opening when Downloading a Song?

    I'm trying to download a song from an artists website. When I click on the song, a new window opens and quicktime starts to buffer the song for playback. This happens with both IE and Firefox.
    How do I disable this? My laptop doesn't do this, but my main desktop is.

    Why not just right-click and save the linked file to your computer?
    Open the .mp3 with any app you choose.
    You can disable the QuickTime plug-in from playing .mp3 files in a browser window by opening the QT Control Panel/Advanced and click the MIME Settings button. Remove the check mark for the .mp3 format and restart your browser for this change to take effect.

  • How to stop IE9 from opening web page in the middle of browser

    Greetings,
    I'm opening a page with a video on it and for some reason, IE9 insists on opening the page so that the bottom of the video is in line with the bottom of the IE9 browser window.
    It's like IE doesn't want to cut off the lower part of the video.
    FF is not having this problem and opens pages with videos as it should; at the top.
    This pic doesn't really do it justice, but when the page opens, the video is in line with the bottom of the browser window.
    Thanks for any help you can give!
    k

    It looks exactly the same to me in FF10 and IE9 on Vista.  The page is longer than my viewport.  I must use the vertical scrollbar to see the page bottom.   Hit Ctrl+ - a couple of times to Zoom Out.  Refresh the page (F5).

    Open Quicktime Preferences and go to the Browser Plug-in section. Click on the MIME Settings button and change the mp3 item so that QT is not set to open that file type.

  • Error Message Briefly Stopping Me From Opening Project

    Every so often when I'm trying to open a project I get this message (image attached) that stops me from opening it. After an hour or two I go back and try again, and it opens fine.
    When I get the message, I've tried opening other projects and just get the same message, then they open fine again later.
    Any idea what be causing this and how to stop it? It's getting to be a bit of a nuisance.

    If i am not wrong, i think your are getting this error on your MAC as this is a known issue on the apple community. According to the Apple support forums, error -4960 means your download may have been interrupted due to some reason.
    So, uninstall the Adobe download Assistant and try to download the same using a different browser like Chrome or Firefox and then check.
    You may also get the direct download link for PS CS5.1 from the below link.

    How to stop iPhoto from opening each time I add a photo using Yosemite

    Add image to iPhoto Library
    From where.  I don't think you can keep it mininmized when importing because if it runs into a duplicate it will present a warning window for you to make a decision in. Therefore, it will always be open when importing.
    You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

    It sounds like you're running Lion?
    Have you tried running Verify and/or Repair Disk?
    Have you tried running Repair Permissions?
    Do you have at least 15% free space available on your HD?

    I clicked on iMessage on my Macbook Pro today for the first time, and now NOTES keeps opening up every 5 seconds, with a new note.  I cannot stop it from opening. If I close it or force close, it opens again in 5 seconds.  I can't get rid of it.  I have tried to clear out the iMessage settings I had put in, and I've tried to adjust the Accounts to not include notes to synch.  But, Notes will not stop.  It opens a new note, and even if you ignore it, it assumes preference every 5 seconds, and the Mac is impossible to use.

    Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.

  • How can I stop Safari from opening new windows unless I want them?

    Since Safari 5.02, there is no box to check in the General Preferences to stop Safari from opening a new window when I click on a link. My expectation is to only go to a new window when I want to do it. Most of my searches go down a rabbit hole and I just want to go backwards without closing page after new open page (Same problem with Tabs. I don't want new Tabs all the time either. In fact, the only time I really care about multiple open Tabs or Windows is when I need more than one Window open for data comparison or something like that...)
    This is an incredibly annoying new behavior of Safari that I want to shut off. I have 20 windows open in the Window list right now. (I regularly shut off Safari to clear up all the useless abandoned windows.) Firefox doesn't do this, but I prefer Safari.
    I tried to search this one, but maybe am not framing the question properly. See lots of discussion of forcing new tabs, but that is not what I am looking for....Can anyone help me?

    Thanks Baltwo,
    I will try it, but I don't want new pages in tabs either. I simply don't want the link to open in a new page or tab unless I ask for one. My initial trial has google links opening in new tabs. Why can't I just go down the paths on the same page like the old days? Especially after I find what I want, I will go somewhere else.
    With your recommendation, I think that instead of pages open, I will have an abundance of tabs?
    Guess I am getting inflexible in my old age. If this is the only option, it is an "improvement" that I don't like yet.
    Firefox doesn't do it.

  • Can't stop applications from opening automatically at login

    A few months ago I tried the "open at login" feature for 4 of the applications in my dock. I have decided it is more of a hassle than it's worth and unchecked "open at login." That didn't stop them from opening automatically. I went into Accounts and made sure the "Login Items" tab was empty. That also didn't work. I even added the programs into the tab, restarted and deleted them. I searched the Apple website and read that you can bypass applications launching automatically by holding shift at the blue screen on startup and then again after typing the password. I set the computer to not login automatically and hold shift every time I start the computer up. I would like to know if anyone else has had this problem and what they did about it. Is there a way to stop them from opening without having to log in every time? Thank you.

    go to the directory homedirectory/library/preferences and delete the files loginwindow.plist and com.apple.loginitems.plist. Then log out/in normally. nothing should start up by itself.

  • Stop safari from opening in new tab or window

    Ok so just installed some update to my mac book pro OS X 10.9.2 and now I dont see how to stop safari from opening new tab or windows when I do a search in yahoo and I click on a item it opens in a new tab or window. Under the preferences and tab options I dont see how to just get it to open on the current tab or window. It drives me crazy to have a bunch of tabs or windows open.
    Thanks

    I tried that and still the samething a new tab opens. Its seems from the options there is no option to no allow this. Any other ideas?

  • Can I close all layers? or even better, stop illustrator from opening all layers when I open a file?

    I just installed cs6, and when I open files in Illustrator, it opens all of the layers which contain sublayers.  It does this even if all the top-level layers were closed during the previous save.  The files I work with have a large layer-structure, so re-closing the top-level layers every time I open a file wastes a lot of my time.  Can I close all layers at once, or better yet, can I stop Illustrator from opening all of the layers automatically when I load a file?
    If not, then WHY on earth not?  I can't be the only one who opens and closes large files with lots of layers and sub-layers...
    Thanks for your help.
    Edit: I also am noticing this problem is even worse in cs6, because openning and closing individual layers plays a little animation of rotating the triangular arrow before the layer which, cute as it may be, just makes the task of individually closing up all my layers that much more tedious.  Can I turn off that little animation of the triangular arrow when opening and closing layers?

    You can save it as a pdf and when you open that in AI the layers will not be opened even if they have sublayers.
    Not true. Does the same nonsense an .AI file does. Saved as a .PDF, closed Layers/subgroups get opened.
    And no one cares!
    I do. Every other Adobe program with a layering sceme seems to be able to remember that you saved a file with all layers and subs closed. But not this one.
    Maybe someone from the AI development team should ask someone from the Photoshop team how they've managed it.....for decades.

  • How do I stop Quicktime from stopping recording when it believes the signal is lost?

    I'm trying to digitize old VHS home videos through Quicktime (latest version). But when the tracking goes a bit awry, Quicktime stops recording telling me "RECORDING STOPPED, TRY RECORDING AGAIN."
    This is not true. It's just an instance of a bad part of the tape. It took me 13 days just to record one 6 hour tape because I had to start a new recording every few moments. I had hundreds of files!
    How do I stop Quicktime from ending a video recording when it believes the signal is lost? Is there a way of turning this 'feature' off? If not, does Apple have a software that will do what I'm asking? Final Cut Pro X or something else?
    Thank you!

    Here is a screenshot of the error. As you can see, I got a full 4 seconds of video recorded before Quicktime X believed the signal was lost (just a bit of off tracking).
