.tif files default, cannot get Quicktime to stop. Edit Preferences, reboot

Everytime I mark Edit Preferences to stop opening .tif or even the whole category of still images, reboot my computer and it defaults back to opening them. I only want Quicktime on my computer because the ipod. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software to no avail. Does anyone know what the problem is? This topic is on here before with no answer.
Thanks.

I cannot get QuickTime to load nor can I find it as an add on.

I have a remotely operated security camera that worked fine until there was an issue with Java. The security company has supposedly gotten that wrinkle fixed but now I cannot get QuickTime to function. I have downloaded it to my PC (uses Windows Vista-don't get me started) and I can access QuickTime on my desktop, but it doesn't fully load the window nor am I able to access the camera. Any suggestions? Neither Apple nor QuickTime are showing up in my add-on's list and when I search for it, it tries to take me to something called Pimpfish (I think). McAfee wants me to stay well away from that one. HELP!

When I double click the QuickTime icon the window shows up in the task bar but when I try to open it the only thing that appears is the top 1/8th of the frame. Clicking on the window just closes it.
That's perfect, thank you.
A QuickTime display preference may have blown up for you.
If that's what is afoot, rebuilding the QuickTime preferences can help, although it can be a bit of a trial to track them down on the 64-bit systems.
Close any of the QuickTime Player buttons that are currently in your taskbar.
Now we need to change some view settings on the PC. (The preferences are kept in hidden folders.)
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected.
Click OK.
Next we'll navigate to your AppData folder.
In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive your user documents are stored on.
Open the "Users" folder.
Open the folder with the name of the Windows User account in which the QuickTime Player isn't displaying properly.
Open the "AppData" folder.
Now the hunt for the QuickTime preferences begins.
Open the "Roaming" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
If there was no QuickTime folder in \Roaming\Apple Computer\, or if the QuickTime Player still isn't displaying properly
Quit any QuickTime player buttons in the Taskbar.
Go back into the "AppData" folder.
Open the "Local" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
If there was no QuickTime folder in \Local\Apple Computer\, or if the QuickTime Player still isn't displaying properly
Quit any QuickTime player buttons in the Taskbar.
Go back into the "AppData" folder.
Open the "LocalLow" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
Any of those measures help with the display problem?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Cannot get Quicktime (OR Itunes) to install/work

I have had many headaches trying to get Quicktime to work over the past month. I have looked through the forums, uninstalled the program, as well as all the Apple stuff, using a program that would force the uninstall since windows could not do it. I cannot do a Windows restore because the restore point does not go back far enough... If I could just get quicktime to work, I would be happy since so many things require it. Here is what it tells me this time: "The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel"
So... What options do I have other than formatting my dard drive. I would rather not do that...
Thanks,
-Brett

I tried installing an old version but it says that a newer version of quicktime is already installed.
Okay ... if there's no QuickTime showing in your "Uninstall a program" control panel, and you're getting that message, that usually indicates damage to the QuickTime.msi or related installation componentry.
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try reinstalling iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time? If so, are you able to launch iTunes without the error message?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Hi
You can upload logo using SE78 or using program RSTXLDMC
or by using OAER
Steps for uploading Logo :-:
1. Goto the transaction OAER
2. Enter the class name as 'PICTURES'
3. Enter the class type as 'OT'
4. Enter the object key as the name of the logo you
wish to give
5. Execute
6. Then in the new screen select Standard doc. types
in bottom window
Click on the Screen icon
Now, it will ask for the file path where you have
to upload the logo
7. Now you can use this logo
To create a logo in SAP printouts just do the following
1. Save a Logo using Imaging, Paint shop Pro or Corel Draw as Tiff file.
2. Run program RSTXLDMC and enter the following parameters
Enter file name C:\COMPLOGO.TIF
UOM CM
Line width for text 132
Text name ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO
Text ID ST
Text language = E
Number of Tiff gray levels (2,4,9) 2
3. Then Create a new window 'COMP' with attributes;
Window COMP description Company Logo
Left margin 7.00 CH window width 10.00 CH
Upper margin LN window height 8.00 LN
Finally in the text element, mention
/: INCLUDE 'ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO' OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE 'E'.
Please note that if object name is not indicated as 'ZHEX... the logo may not be printed!
You will not be able to see the logo in a test print. The same will be printed in actual printout.

Cannot get QuickTime working with Vista due to Export Controller.

I have downloaded the latest version of ITunes and Quick Time. ITunes works fine, but when I click on the QuickTime icon I get the Windows message "Export Controller not Working." Yesterday QuickTime would load after about 30 seconds, but now it does not load at all. Today I have uninstalled QuickTime and re-installed it. However, I am still getting the message "Export Controller not working." QuickTime appears in the task bar, but when I try clicking on it it will not open. I do not want to uninstall ITunes because it is working okay, and my family have a lot of music downloaded on it. I am not at all technical, and I would appreciate any help that anyone can give to resolve this problem with QuickTime. I note that there is a previous question on this topic that remains unanswered.

There is obviously still a problem somewhere as I am still getting the Export Controller message, but I am very appreciative for your help. What is Export Controller, and do you have any idea why it is not working properly?
What i presume the Export Controller is ... is part of the machinery that allows QuickTime Pro to export movies to other formats. Although you only get that functionality in QuickTime Pro, it's built in to the QuickTime player (basically, to get QuickTime Pro, you buy a "QuickTime Pro Key" which unlocks all the movie editing capabilities of the Player.)
As to what is causing it ... well I've come across a possible lead off in another thread.
Over here, DevilQc is getting an Export Controller error, but he's also getting a message about his CoreFoundation.dll:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10304475&#10304475
CoreFoundation.dll is part of Apple Application Support (which is a seperate program from QuickTime, but is required for the latest versions of QuickTime to run). If Apple Application Support is missing or damaged, usually QuickTime (and iTunes) won't start *at all.* But it's possible that if you've got some sort of subtle damage to your Apple Application Support, QuickTime might run with an error message.
So I'm thinking that the next thing we should try is swapping out your Apple Application Support. Unfortunately, the easiest way to do that is by uninstalling Apple Application Support and QuickTime and then reinstalling QuickTime, so we'll have to go through that rigmarole again.
Follow the instructions I posted last time for the QuickTime uninstall/reinstall (no need to download a fresh copy of the QuickTime installer though ... the one you downloaded last time should do the trick), with the following additions:
*When you are in the "Uninstall a Program" Control panel:* Also uninstall Apple Application Support.
*When you are in the \Program files\ directory clearing away any leftover program files or folders:* Open the "Common Files" folder. Right-click the "Apple" folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if Apple Application Support was successfully removed using Uninstall a Program earlier.)
The QuickTime reinstall should then also reinstall Apple Application Support. With a fresh copy of Apple Application Support in place, do you still get the Export Controller error message?

TS4522 Attempting to burn to DVD with no picture files I cannot get share to progress beyond 66%fon a short 2 minute video.

I cannot get share to progress beyond 66% when trying to burn to DVD a 2 minute video without pictures or titles.

The encoding process is probably complete but the actual burn job action hasn't initiated.
What often works is to go to the DVD Share dialogue window and under Settings>Menu Background, click the Add button.When the next window opens hit cancel.
To test whether it's wnow working, in your project, select a short section with the Range tool. Then share to DVD, choosing Hard Drive as Output Device.
If that test is successful, chances are good your full project will work as well.

Cannot get QuickTime to run after Installing latest update.

After going through install and final "FINISH" window appears and "OK'ed".
Try to launch QuickTime, get QuickTime Unavailable window with RED X, and message "QuickTime failed to initialise. Error # -2096, Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer."
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

The following document is probably worth a shot with that one. (Make sure that none of the checkboxes are filled in the compatibility tab, not just the compatibility mode box itself.)

MacBook Pro (Late) 2008 running 10.8.4
I was using my computer every morning as I do everyday with no issues. I had left home for most of the day. Closed lid and while I was gone for a couple of hours. I returned home, opened my MacBook and nothing but a black screen. I've tried many things all evening try and fix this problem out of "safety sleep mode, and other similiar tricks that other people had tried.
I still have a Black Screen and cannot get my macbook out of what seems to be the sleep mode.
I've done a master reset and after I restart, I do get the power up chime but still a black screen. I don't know what else to do. Please help. Should I bring computer to a local repair shop or is there something I can do to fix myself. I just don't know where to start.
Thank you.

When I am saving photos from a file, I cannot get the save path to go back to the default folder I want them in. Each save has to be done by going through the path to find the folder I'm saving to.

I am saving photo files from my camera, a drop box etc. I used to be able to click "save as" and the folder I saved in before came up for saving the new image. Now, I have to start way back to the "Barb" folder - to "documents" "images, etc" back up to the folder I save these particular pictures in.
How do I get the "save" to go to the last folder I used - in this particular session?
Everytime you route me back to "educated guesses" I cannot find this particular problem

How to get Quicktime to stop being my default AVI player

I love Macs but I absolutely hate Quicktime (I still have to use it to open Windows files via Flip4Mac but other than that I try to stay away from it) . I want to make VLC my default media player for all AVI files. I've tried setting an AVI file to always open with VLC but that only sets that particular file to open with VLC. Quicktime is still the default. How do I change that?

I wish I could redact dumb questions that I've asked. Anyway, for those of you with the same problem, check this out: http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-57632.html

Thanks for the link. Is this perian prefpane all I need to maximize my quicktime experience? Basically, will I never EVER see a "quicktime can't open this..." message again? Can I delete VLC media player now?
Also, what the heck is the point of the Eject button in the top right corner of the keypad. When I tried ejecting the perian "disc" that I got from opening the .dmg, it didn't work. Is that button only good for ejecting actual discs from the cd/dvd rom?
