What has happened to audio/midi support in the Quicktime plugin?

I have a six-month old iMac running Mavericks (10.9.3) with Safari 7.0.4. I use midi a lot when I'm trying to learn a new piece of music, which is often. I don't want to have to download a midi file into another app just to audition the file.
Why has the support for audio/midi been removed? (again)
What can I do about it without spending money? (again)
I seem to be in a cycle where over a period of years, additional software is needed for some time and then the feature reappears with an update to either the system or Safari, only to again be deleted. Is it just me?
The outrageous thing is the cost of the Quicktime Pro which in Australia costs AU$37.99 which is more than the cost of the entire Mavericks or Mountain Lion operating systems. I'm sure I've bought this before, but junked it because the feature reappeared, and now it's gone again. I don't want to have to buy it again, particularly not at this price.

Apple has ended support for MIDI in browser playback but they can still be played with QuickTime Player 7 once you download the file to your machine.
QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later
The free version is all you need and MIDI files are tiny and quick to download.

  • In iPhoto most of my photos appear to have been replaced by much smaller versions. What has happened and how can I get the full size photos back?

    That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
    It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

  • Does anyone know what has happened to Softmatic Barcode Maker on the App store?

    I bought this App a few months ago, and it worked fine. Then updated it a few weeks ago and worked even better. However I tried to load it today and it just crashes on startup. Have tried restating my MBP and it still doesn't work. I can't re-install because it is nolonger available on the App store, and furthermore, the publisher seems to have dissappeared completely! The web address softmatic.com doesn't go anywhere, and googling doesn't turn up any useful info.
    Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to fix the software?
    Or what has happened to Softmatic?
    Or if I will have any kind of comebak with the App Store regarding this App?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated – I'm stumped!
    Thanks
    Andy

    I've rather wondered myself. I hadn't used the bar code software, but did download and try the free Gradient Pro. It worked very nicely. I had a question and one problem, support was iin contact within an hour with both the answer and a fix for the problem. The next day they posted an updated version with the fix as part of the update. I was very impressed. The next day, they were *poof*.
    I still use the app, have the manual page downloaded from before, but they have vanished online. Too bad. They had some great plans in store for new features.

  • What has happened to my N8 support?

    Connecting to nokia suite via pc, using an usb cable, no longer appears to link to nokia. I can't see any apps, updates, maps etc...
    I know Nokia has been assimilated into the microsoft franchise, does this mean they have also been eradicated as a unique brand? I actually prefer my symbian device.
    Any ideas on what I do to get support now? (buying samsung, apple, new nok or sony not an option)

    I don't have any problems with Nokia Suite 3.8.48 - Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 on my N8 and X6. Perhaps you should uninstall Nokia Suite and all other associated software and reinstall

  • What has happened to annotation alignment guides in the Preview application on Yosemite?

    In Preview in Mavericks (and earlier ?) it used to be possible to annotate PDF documents and to align, for example, text annotations using guidelines that would appear when a text box was selected.
    This facility does not appear to be available in the Yosemite version of the Preview application (Version 8.0 (859)).
    There does not seem to be an option for this in the application's Preferences or menus.

    Upgrade seems to have switch Spaces off.
    For the record it's here in Keyboard Preferences…

  • HT2101 My phone is completely dead - what has happened?

    My iphone 4S has gone dead - what has happened?

    Try to press at the same time the "home button" and the "sleep wake button". After a few seconds it will reboot your iPhone. If not, your iPhone probably has a hard- software problem., Attempt to connect it to Itunes as a recovery mode restore. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • I am using Mavericks. I had a list of VIPS and used it extensively. Now it has disappeared and VIPs on the menu bar is faded. There is nil response to VIP in help. Can you tell me what has happened?

    I am using Mavericks. In Mail I had a list of VIPS and used it extensively. Now it has disappeared and VIPs on the menu bar is faded. There is nil response to VIP in help. Can you tell me what has happened?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/VIPSenders.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    What is the Modified date?
    If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • What has happened with Apple Support?

    I convinced my friend to purchase a refurb Macbook Pro last week. I explained "the same warrenty, I've purchase 3 refurbs with no problems, yada yada".
    His MBP shows up with a "5th leg" under the Superdrive! Dented from the inside out. We found this out when we tried to start installing some software via DVD and the DVD got jammed inside and wouldn't eject (and sounding like it was shredding said DVD). Finally after a small pair of tweezers and a quick hand, I was able to snag the end of the dvd and "help it out".
    I told my friend how sorry I was, and explained that we will ship it back and Apple will surely just ship another refurb to him.
    Currently, he has spoken with 6 different people, over an hour of phone time, and none have followed through with not even a return number! Plus, each and evey new "tech" that he speaks to wants his name, order number, address, credit card, and probably his favorite color!
    What has happened? I have been praising Apple for 25 years, and now I'm just embarrassed (for me and Apple).
    Had to vent, and was wondering if anyone else has had this experience lately?

    Your friend only needs a single 'yes' to resolve this. Tell him/her to hang in there! Insist on good service. It is definitely owed.
    I have found that dedicating the time to get it done, and then not accepting any answer except the ethically right one, will achieve the right result. I would bet the call center folks are trained to drag feet on giving return authorizations on refurbs. That is an institutional thing that is not particular to just Apple. The ignored problem often will just go away. On a call to support the need is to insist on going uphill to supervisor and then manager and not hang up until a equitable solution is arrived at. Polite, unfazed - insistant.
    We all hate it when an error like this makes Apple look small.

  • What has happened to the graphics in my emails??

    What has happened to all the graphics in my emails?

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • What has happened to the 'little lock icon' that tells me site safe?

    There used to be a 'little yellow lock' icon at the bottom of the browser page when I did my banking or when I logged in on ebay etc.. This icon let me know it was safe to use the page/site. When I updated to Firefox 6.0.2. for Windows English the yellow lock icon no longer appears. What has happened to it? Is it there and I need to retrieve some how or have you done away with it...and why?

    In Firefox 4 and later you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.<br />
    The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.<br />
    So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.<br />
    The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.

  • I don't know what has happened but I can't open iPhoto. When I try to open it I receive a caution "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I solve this??!!

    I don't know what has happened but I now can't open iphoto. I get a caution when I try which says the iphoto library is locked! It was working perfectly fine this afternoon until I tried to upload some photos from my camera and my computer started to run very slow and wasn't recognising my camera. I tried to quit iphoto and then when I came back in to it, this was the message I received. As far as I am aware I didn't alter any settings or put on any locks. Please help!!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
