Trackpad and using quicktime

I have leopard and love it. I have a couple problems though. First when I double click on an item in my dock using the trackpad it opens up but when i double click using the trackpad for any other function (i.e switching songs in itunes or on an icon on my desktop like my hard drive) it doesn't open it. I have to double click or triple click my trackpad button. Secondly, using quicktime when I am watching something it doesn't give me an option to switch to full screen. while using quicktime my finder bar up top doesn't give me quicktime options its just back on finder ( yes even when i have clicked on the quicktime screen) it still reverts to finder. Third, for photo's what happen to iphoto there is no application for at all in my apps folder just preview. And lastly my appleworks app is missing. thats right i have no appleworks app.
Other than that I love my mac and i am more than happy with apple keep up the good work thank you

You can try doing a PRAM reset. To do this shutdown your MBP. With your lefthand hold down the option+command keys. Power on the MBP, and immediately with your righthand little finger hold down the P key and with your righthand index finger hold down the R key. So you have the option+command keys and the P&R keys held down. Wait until you hear the Apple chime twice, release the keys and let the MBP boot up. Try that and see if it helps. Follow up and let us know if that worked for you.

My Mac keeps freezing in the middle of applications (most notable Safari) requiring me to shut down and restart. It also freezes during video playback (online and using Quicktime). Do I need to wipe and reinstall OS? I'm thinking I have a virus........

Please help!! It's driving me nuts. I've reinstalled the OS via the disc about 3 times so far, but haven't yet erased the drive (and am seriously considering doing so). I barely have any files on my HD because I run everything off of external drives (after losing a TON of stuff after my Mac crashed in the first 3 months of having it). I bought the computer in 2007 and was running Tiger. I passed on Leopard but gave in for Snow Leopard because I wanted an iPhone and iPad. When I installed SL, I had to reformat the HD and made it Journaled......it's been acting ******** ever since.

First you don't have a virus because none exist for OS X. So you can stop worrying about hat. If you recently got a warning about a Virus and accepted downloaded some software then you fell for a Trojan. Here is an article about that and how to rid yourself of it.
If you did not download anything like that then doing a Erase and Install would be the way to go. Here is a video that will show you exactly what to do.

Help using Quicktime Broadcaster

Alright, so we want to set up a small, live internet broadcasting of some church services. We're still trying to figure out how to do this though. We're going to use my Macbook and use Quicktime Broadcaster. How do set my application up to send out the audio stream and how do others connect to the stream? Also, do the receivers have to be Mac users with Quicktime Broadcaster or can it be PC users with Winamp or Quicktime for Windows or Windows Media Player?? Any help, suggestions about other programs or alternative ways would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The answers to your questions may be found over on the Broadcaster Tutorials & FAQ websites.

Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well,

Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well, but what can I do for QuickTime opens on .avi and doesn't convert to .mov?

HI GalaxieMusique,
I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess....

Audio and video out of sync when using quicktime conversion

hello,
i am editing a hdv project and want to export to quicktime. the client needs it in a specific size (700x394). they do not want the video in the file compressed, just the size of image. they are compressing the video through flash for the web. anyways, i used to just use quicktime conversion, custom size and use 700x394, but now when i do that the audio and video are sparadically out of sync in the product. the wierd thing is that the project plays fine in the timeline, but when i export the problem occours. i then, exported to a full res fcp movie and it is fine. then tired reexporting through qt pro to 700x394. when i did this their were no sync issues but the quality of the file was not so good, it look more pixely, certainly not as good as when i did it using quicktime conversion.
how can i export through fcp to get the 700x394 file? someone said 'use current settings' instead of using quicktime conversion? how do i do this? what do i need to do and what are my settings?
any help is appreciated. thanks a ton in advance.
cheers,
clay

What format are you converting the HDV to?
If it's animation, it is quite possible your computer can't pull the data rate. In this case it would be a processor / hard drive issue not an out of sync issue.

is there any way else to do it without useing quicktime pro....hope apple fixes this in ios 7 the video should come out in landscape regardless of the way you hold your phone or if you start in portrait and go into landscape while recording

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Why can't I "trim to selection" on a MP3 and save using quicktime?

Is it not a simple procedure, using quicktime pro?
I have an mp3, that has 2 secs. of silence at the beginning.
I just want to trim using the "trim to selection" feature and save it.
But quicktime pro , states clearly, "document "xxxxxx" could not be saved.
Now that I think of it, Ive had this problem before when i was attempting to
trim a movie I had, but that was probably because it was in a differnet format that quicktime couldn't understand.
Is this the same issue?
no mp3 trimming?
lost in Detroit

The QuickTime Movie Info window should show the audio codec used in the file.
MPEG-1 (level 3) what people call .mp3
http://www.iis.fraunhofer.de/amm/techinf/layer3/
is very old technology and better formats do exist.
QuickTime Pro can open and edit this format. But it saves as the .mov "container". Still the same format but in a different "bucket".

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The file is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The temporary file it saves is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes. I have been able to locate the file using GrandPerspective and close out of FCP to delete it. But when I try exporting the movie again it creates the ICMMultiPassStorage file again. I have made sure my scratch disks are set to my external hard drive so I know that isn't the issue. How do I fix this problem so these temporary files are not being stored on my internal hard drive instead of my external?Thanks!

Try exporting the timeline "using current settings" via Make QuickTime Movie, then submit that clip to Compressor for the transcode. This should be faster and less painful.

I am using QuickTime 7 Pro and want to loop my video. The Loop function is grayed out. Why? How can I loop my video?

I am using Quicktime 7 Pro on a Max Mini to play my video on a gallery monitor. Under View, the Loop option is grayed. Why? I need to play the video in a continuous loop all day. Thank you.

Loop appears to be "broken" in QuickTime Player Pro and 10.7.4.
It's been fixed in 10.8 and also works in QuickTime 10, 10.1 and 10.2.
Use 10.1 on your machine if you need to loop your playback.

Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?

Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
I've followed instructions with success until "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?
I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed. (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac) Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app. It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one. Streamclip played the video with the sound. so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion. I'm exporting the first section now. I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie. I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame? If it can, what size should I select when I export?

Error -61 and -43 When Exporting using Quicktime

I have recently began receiving errors when I try to export using QuickTime. When I try to export to my external hard drive I get an error -61. When I try to export to Documents I get an error -43
These errors began after I had imported a bunch of home videos yesterday which were pretty massive and filled up my hard drive. I then began to delete some of my videos from my Event Library and Projects that I no longer needed.
It was after I did this that I began to experience these errors.
Any tips, suggestions, or advice would be greatly appreciated.

How are you deleting your movies to free up disk space? Are you doing them in iMovie by rejecting them? If so, that's only 1/2 of what you need to do. In the event where you deleted movies, from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the events, choose "Show rejected only" . Then click the button that says "Move rejected to trash" in the top right. You then have to empty your system trash to free up the space.
Lemme know if that works.

Used Quicktime to export iMovie and play on a TV, but getting audio codec error

I created an iMovie 11 project and exported it using Quicktime as a HD movie to play on a one year old Samsung big screen TV. The movie file ended in .mov, which the TV would not recognize, so I changed the extension to .mpg and the video plays fine.
The problem I have is that during the first 3 or 4 seconds of the movie, I get an error pop up on the TV screen that the audio codec is not supported, obviously newer than the TV, right?
So I updated the TV to the latest firmware via Samsung's website and that all went as expected. However, the error message is still there.
The movie is made up completely of still images, so there is no audio to detach, and I can find no other settings to disable the audio portion of the movie.
Anyone run into this before and be able to share some advice, please?

I found that these audio codecs are supported:
AC3
LPCM
ADMPCM (MA, MS)
AAC
HE-AAC
WMA
DD+
MPEG (MP3)
DTS Core
Voris

Quicktime and all quicktime-using applications crash on startup

A while ago my computer crashed and wouldn't start up. We ran the disk utility and fixed the permissions and ran disk warrior, and in the end we eventually got it to work by installing MacOS onto the harddrive again (so basically it's installed twice).
Ever since then, however, quicktime crashes whenever I try to start it up. In fact, any application that uses quicktime, such as iTunes, will crash and automatically quit out when it tries to play a video. Even the Finder will crash whenever it tries to display a preview of a movie.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I've tried deleting the quicktime preferences and reinstalling to no avail.
Thanks.

After you re-installed the OS, did you install any third programs or components/plug-ins?

I am using quicktime pro for apple codecs and adobe CS6 cant see them. I am using win7 64bit op sytem. Help please...

I am using Quicktime pro 7 the latest, on a win7 64bit PC machine.
Adobe Premiere and Encoder cant see it; has anyone had troubles and
how do i fix this problem..help. I am try to use the apple codecs for
digital editing "apple prores 422".

Hi Gary
thanks for your reply, look I was loading the latest Quicktime and paid for the latest version of Quicktime Pro for windows as well as updating Itunes. After restarting my PC, the apple codecs would not show in the codecs list when i was preparing the output specs which are for the Australian broadcast which my boss wants of:
1280 X 720, 25fps and Apple codecs prores 422.
Look I was wondering is there any area of Quicktime Player Pro that I have to turn on or off, I just wonder if I have to do something in Premier Pro or the other adobe program encore to convert certain levels of film from one level to another, as the camera crew I was with had 5 different levels of film to convert to the above format.
Do you have any other ideas that come to mind, I have had some troubles in the last six months with Indesign and Adobe pdf maker, I have alot of sucess with adobe before. I gratefull for any other hints. Cheers Hound Puppy
