What do I lose by removing "Quicktime Plugin.plugin"?

After upgrading to Leopard (Erase and install, then migrate data from a backup off an external HD), all the flash videos and ads had the Quicktime icon with a question mark on it. After searching through Apple discussions and google, I found a site that suggested removing "Quicktime Plugin.plugin" from the library folder. It seemed like a strange fix but I did it anyway since I already went into Quicktime prefs and unchecked "Enable Flash." I also reinstalled Adobe flash player for Safari- both with no luck.
So what will I be losing by removing this plugin? I'm assuming its a necessary plugin.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi

Very necessary. In answer to your question, have a look at this thread, especially QuickTimeKirk's post.
Have you checked your System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced>Mime Settings panel? In the Miscellaneous panel only QuickTime HTML ought to be selected. If the other boxes are selected, then you'll have problems with QT in Safari.
Regarding Flash, if you reinstalled it, then make sure you "repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

What will I lose by removing a folder and then resynchronizing?

I am having a problem editing files that I imported into Lightroom from my photoshop elements 6 catalog. The details of what I've gone through are in the thread titled: Problem with "Edit in Photoshop" and Lightroom 2.1 failing to import new file
I think I have a work-around, but it involves writing the meta-data of all files out to disk, removing the folders from lightroom, and then re-importing them.
When I do this, I know I will lose some information. I want to know if I will lose more than I'm expecting.
I expect I'll preserve any changes I've made to any files. I also expect I'll preserve all my keywords and that the keyword hierarchy will still be intact. These are the most important things.
I expect I'll lose my stacks. This is an irritation, but I think I'll be able to recover using automatic stacking by picture time. If I do this, how will the program choose which picture goes at the top of the stack? I have to experiment with this feature before I pull the trigger.
I also expect I'll lose any editing history of any pictures I've edited since I brought them into lightroom. This isn't a big deal for me -- I've only edited a hundred or so pictures in the week or so that I've been playing with lightroom.
So am I missing anything? Is there anything important I'll lose by this procedure?
Thanks for the input.
Doug

.....and with any stack open, right click the image you want to be at the top of the stack and select it.

Removing Quicktime Browser Plugin?

I recently installed the latest version of Itunes, which includes Quicktime 7.0.x. For certain uses, I prefer to use Real Player, not Quicktime. Specifically, in my web browser (Firefox or Explorer) many file types and links now result in the use of the Quicktime Plug-in, not Real Player, regardless of my settings.
How can I prevent this, or just simply remove the Quicktime plug-in?
Thanks.

When you installed QT7 it asked if you wanted it to be the media player by default. So now a easy way would be to right click on a media file and go to properties, where it says opens with, choose program, browse, and make the change to the media player you want to handle those files.

I remove Quicktime player 10.0

I involuntarily remove Quicktime player 10.0 from my mac and now when i wanted to download it again, but it's not possible because it show me that quicktime is built into the mac ( http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ ), when i download quicktime it's only version 7.5.5 or latest with blue icon (before i had blue, grey icon)
Please what should i do when i want a version of Quicktime player 10.0

QuickTime Player will definitely be on your Mac OS X 10.6 installer DVD, either a retail copy or the installer disks that came with your Mac. Here are the steps:
1) download Pacifist from http://www.charlessoft.com/
2) Insert the Snow Leopard install DVD.
3) Launch Pacifist
4) Click the button that says "Open Apple Install Disks"
5) In the window that will open, accept the choice of "OS Install - Mac OS X and standard applications" A window titled "OSInstall.mpkg" will open
6) If the list of contents under "Contents of OSInstall.mpkg" does not appear, click the disclosure triangle to show the list
7) Click the disclosure triangle next to "ContentsofEssentialSystemSoftware"
8) Click the disclosure triangle next to "ContentsofEssentialSystemSoftwareGroup"
9) Click the disclosure triangle next to "Contents of Essentials.pkg"
10) Click the disclosure triangle next to "Applications"
11) Click "QuickTime Player.app" to select it
12) Select the "Install Files to Default Location" command under the File menu
13) Make sure that "Use Administrator Privileges" is checkmarked and that the file will be extracted to /Applications/
14) Click the "Install" button.
Pacifist should then restore QuickTime Player X to your Applications folder.

Problems removing quicktime

i recently uninstalled the latest quicktime version and then did a system restore to get it back, but now my itunes program is telling me im missing files, i tried reinstalling itunes and quicktime but it gives me and error 3 message at the end of the quicktime part. now, i cant even remove quicktime completly, i tried to remove it via change or remove programs under the control panel and it opens up the installer/uninstaller loading screen but then closes right away. how can i get this off my computer so i can reinstall everything again? system restore isnt helping either

You'd have to go to C:\WINDOWS\Installer DIR and locate what QuickTimeUninstaller_ico exe was left behind after the original QT removal or system restore. There are probably two, they will have a date, remove one or the other and try add\remove programs again. Or maybe the QT uninstaller no longer corresponds with the version you are trying to remove, after the restore, so the add/remove control panel will not remove the program. So then you will have to remove QT manually. Does that make any sense to you?

Removing QuickTime 7.7.1 Plug-in

How do I remove QuickTime 7.7.1 plug-in in Lion 10.7.3. When I download a PDF in Safari, it uses QuickTime as the default to save and open one page of the PDF.

Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder by selecting Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar (Lion), or by looking in the folder with the house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window (pre-Lion.)
Delete the following items from the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
Relaunch Safari and test.

How do I remove the flickr plugin in lightroom 3

I'm trying lightroom 3 at the moment, but I can't seem to remove the flickr plugin. It's rather an eye-sore in the UI, and since I don't want to use it (after all, who decided that every person in the world uses flickr?) I want it gone. However, going to the plugin management, I can't remove it, and I can't disable it either, despite it being a "plugin", and not a baked-in program feature. I can "hide" it in the UI, which is a decent intermediary solution, but it doesn't solve the fact that there's a mystery plugin installed that I can't remove. (and I hate adobe's tendency to put stuff on my HD I didn't ask for, nor would have consented to if asked)
So: how do I uninstall and remove this plugin?

Hmm, Not being familiar with MacOS's package management, I have no idea where to even look for what you describe in Windows. There's only in-program plugin management, using file -> plugin manager (In this manager I can disable the plugin, but not remove it), and there's the Windows "programs and features" control, which is Windows' installed package manager, but it only offers me the option to repair or uninstall all of lightroom, but not individual parts of it.

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Missing QuickTime Plugin.plugin

Hi,
I have a huge problem with QuickTime Player that it doesn't running very well with Safari, Chrome, and Mozilla. It sometimes freeze and disconnected. I saw other people have similar problems like this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2230875&start=30&tstart=0
I tried to look in Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and noticed that I don't have any files in there even missing QuickTime Plugin.plugin. I still have QuickTime 10 and 7 installed. Does anybody know what is going on? Could you please help me how to fix it.
Thanks!

>>i dont want to reinstall the whole OS. will it delete all the apps and settings?
No, those should all be retained, only OS components will be replaced, but of course the combo & other updates will be required afterwards.
>> the volume doesnt meet the requirements for this update.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
something amiss in the system, that is checked for as part of the installation (might be just a version number) - the Installer.log, visible in Console application, may be more specific.
>>but i can copy manually the quicktime plugin using pacifist???
You can indeed - extract it from the combo or grab it from another mac or backup. Speaking of which, do make some if you don't already have some; doubly so since something obviously happened to that plugin & additionally another item has been changed so that the installer, 'won't'.

What are the repercussions with removing my husbands icloud account info from my iPad?

What are the repercussions with removing my husbands icloud account info from my iPad?

Hahaha. Yes everything's ok on that front. I'm just not great at sharing my toys, so I wanted everything on my iPad to be in my name (not selfish at all, is it?). Anyway, was just concerned that if I removed that info, I might lose a whole bunch of stuff on there. I've since learned that I can keep his icloud account and " disable" the fields that I don't want to share (contacts, email) and keep the ones that I do (photos). Excuse my ignorance, I'm still a rookie on the iPad front.
So, that being said, I suppose I can tolerate his info being in my icloud. ;)
Thanks for your help Barry!

So I have a file on my desktop and I cannot open it, move it to a folder, or delete it from my mac. I dont know what it has in it, and that makes me suspicious. What can I do to remove this unremovable file from my computer? Is it a virus?

First, I would recommend repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility.
If that doesn't fix the problem, there's a very dangerous command you can execute in the Terminal. This is very hazardous, because a simple typo can result in very drastic consequences. I have seen people erase their entire hard drive by putting a space in the wrong place! So, please follow the directions I'm going to give you very carefully!
Open the Terminal, which is found in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. In the Terminal, enter the following:
sudo rm -f
Make sure to put a space after the "-f"! Then, drag the troublesome file from the Finder and drop it on the Terminal window. That should insert the path to the file in the command. Then go back to the Terminal and press return. You will be asked for your password, and when you type it, nothing will be shown as a security measure. Press return again after entering your password. The file should be deleted.

When attempting to remove the Filmconvert plugin from my machine I noticed my adobe\common\plug-ins\CS5.5\MediaCore folder had Vanished !

When attempting to remove the Filmconvert plugin from my machine I noticed my adobe>common>plug-ins>CS5.5>MediaCore folder had vanished ! and there was also no folder for my cc version at all ? so digging deeper i noticed a large amount of my after effects plugins were installed separately in my applications folder ! I m very confused as to how this has happened and was wondering if anything like this had happened to any1 else ? and how to get everything back to normal ?
Im now worried theres something wrong with my bios on my Mac and i don't no why my plug-ins would have vanished from where they should be installed? as they still work fine in the actual software itself.

If you are on a Mac the Library folder is hidden. You have to jump through some hoops to get there.
