What have they done to Quicktime?

Since the mavericks update, it's all changed, and not for the best,
when i download a .avi file i can't even see a preview of it in finder,
quicktime insists on converting it to .mov, and it takes an absolute age,
and then it takes longer than it should to save the file,
can anything be done about this?
p.s. my quicktime says version 10.3 but the latest update i can find is 7.7 ??

Thanks Mark. $a ;-) I have the same calculation on my course website as php. Thus the '$'. Up until now Dashcode and iAd Producer have been happy enough with $a and such. Hmm. It looks like $a variable names or identifiers have been valid for JavaScript and I didn't see anything from a quick look at the Apple iAd docs. Must be confusing it in some way.
Also, using php I usually fly blind with write statements as my debugging tool. I had forgotten (if I knew) that iAd Producer had a debugger,/console under Web Inspector. I think I may have even used it with php... oh well. Too many languages (and now Swift ;-) that are too similar.
I did a quick removal of all '$' from my code and it worked (once at least ;-)
Haha, I had another look at the console and it was complaining about a missing variable. I had left off a $ from the front of a variable name in some added code... oh dear.
Thank you so much for pointing out the console and giving me a fresh perspective. I was behaving so strangely...

I would like to know if anyone, after downloading Lion OS, lost their Quicken 2007? If so, what have they done to remedy the problem?

From the quicken website:
Converting your data from Quicken for Mac
Create a copy of your current Quicken for Mac data file.
Important: You'll want to use the copy for the conversion. Do not use your original data file.
Launch the Quicken File Exchange Utility (it's located on your Quicken Essentials disk).
Follow the on-screen instructions to locate the copy of your old data file and then convert your data from Quicken for Mac to Quicken Essentials.
Open Quicken Essentials.
If you want to import your old data into a new Quicken Essentials data file that you’ve already started using (optional), make sure that the new data file is now open in Quicken Essentials.
Choose File > Import, and then select the file that you just created during the conversion process.
The conversion file has a .QDFX extension. You’ll find it in the same folder as the copy of your old Quicken for Mac file.

What have they done to my Iphone and Itunes (7.7.1.11)

Has anyone else experienced the following and if so, what was the fix?
I have had little or no issues with my iphone until the 2.0 upgrade, version 7.7.1.11 of itunes and the Apps I've added.
Suddenly the phone will lock up when exiting a call. The sound just doesn't come out even when nothing was plugged into the headphone jack. The speaker doesn't come back after removing the earphone plug even though the ipod pauses because it has been removed. Safari kicks me out regularly now. It started making a high pitched noise for two minutes all by itself without being touched in any way.
It wouldn't restore after four attempts. I got most of my data apps and contacts back by using a restore saved before the Itunes upgrade becuase the three after it wouldd't work at all.
Itunes absolutely will not close not matter what I do. I must turn off the computer to get it to go away and while it is not responding at all it is using 42 to 58 percent of my CPU. I left it for 7 hours just to make sure it wasn't actually doing something and it still never closed.
The phone has not been dropped in two or three months. It has not gotten wet. It has not been hacked or whatever they call it when you mess with the software to do whatever people do... HELP ME PLEASE..!

Thanks much for the advice. I checked my 2.0 version on the Iphone as recommended. It is the current version. I went the "forced recovery route you suggested and low and behold the phone seems to be fine. The only curious part about the process was that I had to go back to a "backup save" from three weeks ago... The ones since then failed to restore the phone fully for some reason. After sleeping on it, it occured to me that it was probably around the time Itunes updated itself to the new version.
I will be uninstalling and re installing itunes/Quicktime today as recommended. I did not see an uninstall option for itunes in my program menu. Should I use the windows uninstaller or am I overlooking something? Please confirm that my music, videos and/or playlists will not be effected by this action too.
Thanks again for the knowledgable assistance!

HT1848 I downloaded some music from I-tunes and now they are not on my phone or computer. What have I done???

I'm Lost!!! I Downloaded Music and now its not on my phone or computer!!! What have I done or need to do!?

I think you can still save that music that you imported from CD to your computer and later suscribe to iTunes Match so that content is also sync in the subscription. I found this article that show you how to transfer those purchases from the iPad to the computer :
Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
Hope it helps at least a little.

IPad 3 light leak under the bezel? What have you done about it?

If you have an iPad 3. Tilt towards you, looking underneath the bezel (under the camera) has your iPad got any lights showing? It's not bleeding onto the screen, in fact it doesn't interfere at all under normal use of the iPad. I have read many forums and it does seem to be quite common,but i would like to know what have you done about it? Have you replaced within 14 days and got a brand new iPad and been satisfied ? Or have you had another with worse or different issues? Or have you ignored the issue and kept the iPad?
I walked into comet and the first iPad 3 I picked up had exactly the same issue. I asked the bloke, he said yes? It's no problem, it's common in led screens and with the iPads new retina screen your bound to get this problem on some but it's no problem as doesn't effect your everyday use. Not the point though is it, we pay 400-579 for this thing!
I also rang apple and they spoke with their technical team and they came back and said the lights under the bezel seems unusual. To try and restore the iPad and see if that solves it. Solves a hardware problem?? How did they get their jobs? Crazy. So now I am in the middle of returning the iPad for a replacement but I am debating whether to even bother as I have read a lot of replacements people have received have numerous other problems, like dead pixels, light leakage, scratches.
I would appreciate any feedback from those who have had this same issue and what did you do about it ?

Mine has some along the right side. It is very slight, and does not affect the screen,even with a black image displayed in a dark room. So I chose to ignore it. This iPad will be going back though, as the bottom half of the screen has a pink tint on it. My advice is to see if it affects a dark picture in a dark room. If it doesn't, I would keep it. But in the end, you have to make your own decision and be comfortable with it. :)

Where are all my bookmarks - what have you done with Mozilla? you have screwed up my computer!

Everything I had on my tool bar, and all the sites listed in my Bookmarks are GONE!!!
What have you done with those sites? They were very important to me - I can not handle all these changes by Mozilla - None of these changes are of any use to me. I want to go back to my original screen and when I logged on today you would not let me access my internet and original screen without entering info that changed everything on my computer window!!! Help me find those BOOKMARKS
Mozilla Firefox is not user friendly - I don't want all these apps - EBay, Weather or YouTube! I had the necessary sites listed that are important and used everyday - not those listed. Who are you to determine what "apps" I should be using???
edit: email address edited out but it is likely too late for search bots grabbing it.

I'm desperate to get back my Bookmarks in the same unsorted way and easily accessible as I had previously - at the moment they are hidden away in some sort of zipped form I am unable to access: they were previously listed in the ideal way for me to access - as chronologically bookmarked and disparate. It really is infuriating to have this level of interference with my personal affairs on my computer without even seeking my consent. Ideally I want a return to the earlier version of Firefox which worked perfectly well for me - I'm plagued with excessive slowness and freezing since the latest -Firefox 5.0- update was installed. Is there any simple way to revert back to the earlier version of Firefox?

I am making my first keynote presentation. I transferred the slides from a power point. I did not use a 'theme' from keynote. Keynote will not let me 'name' the presentation and the 'save as' option will not come up in the menu. What have I done wrong

I am making my first keynote presentation. I transferred the slides from a power point. I did not use a 'theme' from keynote. Keynote will not let me 'name' the presentation and the 'save as' option will not come up in the menu. What have I done wrong

When it comes to Keynote, I try and start with a presentation that's 1680 x 1050 preset or something in that range. Most projectors that you'll get at a conference won't project much higher than that and if they run at a lower resolution, it's better to have the device downsize your Keynote. Anything is better than having the projector try and upsize your presentation... you work hard to make it look good, and it's mangled by some tired Epson projector.
As far as slides go, scan them in at 150 dpi or better, and make them at least the dimensions of your presentation. Keynote is really only wanting 72dpi, but I do them at 150, just in case I need to print out the presentation as a handout later, and having the pix at 150 dpi gives me a little help with their quality on a printer.
You'd probably have to drop in the 150 versions again if you output the Keynote to .pdf or Word or something, but at least you have the option.
And Gary's right (above) go ahead and scan them as TIFFs. Sooner or later you'll want to do something else with these slides (like make something for an iPad or the like) and having them as TIFFs keeps your presentation looking good.
Finally, and this is a big one, get to the location for your presentation ahead of time if you can, and plug the laptop in and see what you get. There's always connection problems. Don't let the AV bonehead tell you everything will work just fine ('... I don't have any adapters for a Mac...') . See it for yourself... you're the one that's standing up there. Unless it's your boss, then you better be really sure it works.

DEAR ORACLE: what have you done with webdb?

dear oracle,
i was using webdb since rel 2.0.* and i think, it was a great idea! we could visualize data
and give the users the chance to access the data in a very simple way - without programming
in java, c++ or anything else ( ok, pl/sql is needed sometimes. but as long as we are using
oracle databases, we will find someone with pl/sql-knowledge :-), so this is not an
additional requirement).
but what have you done with this wonderful idea?
you have moved webdb to an enterprise-portal, with great functionality and a huge requirement
of resources. no doubt, it is a powerful product, where you can build wonderfull sites
full of surprising elements, every second character bold and blinking . . .
but you forgot the customers, who only need a simple way, to create forms and reports.
by moving portal to such a level, as you have done, you left a gap below this.
please tell me, why should i install and use such a 'mighty' product as 9iAS, when i only
need the functionality, that came with webdb??
some impressions:
- starting with the installation ( download 2 GB! a just released product and i have to download
additional 274 MB of patches, wasting more time with the patch-installation than the rest).
- space-requirements of nearly 5 GB (approx. 12 times as much as webdb 2.2)
- i have to use internet directory, management server, enterprise manager - all products,
that i don't need for the rest of my daily business and that i'm not familiar with
(until now) -> requiring additional time to become familiar with. do you realy think, that the use of all
products in your portfolio makes it easier to handle (as stated in one of the white papers?)?
It seems, that you have lost the ground!
- saving my investments by a migration path? i can forget this - oracle support surrendered and tells
me, that there is something in the installation that prevents me from upgrading.
- the product portal seems to be very 'dynamic': if i don't want to lose support, i have to upgrade
to the next release nearly every three months (one of the most important phrases, heard by support-stuff:
"you have any problem? you should upgrade to the latest release first!")
so, dear oracle,
i hope, you remember those customers, who don't want an overkill. please, fill up the
gap with an applicationserver-light/portal-light and don't forget, that the main scope of your
customers is to fulfil their own customers needs and not to administer oracle-products.
regards
rainer

Two possibilities I can think of:
Are you inside a corporate firewall? If so, make sure that you have access to cloud.acrobat.com
If the above is not the problem, can you try to disable Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

TS2621 Have email account on iPad, now email on my computer are blank when I open them. What have I done

Inset up iPad email for my AT&T account. Now when I open email on computer, the emails I open are blank. What have I done? They are all fine on iPad. Also, new emails are only going to iPad. Thank you!

Hi caesarome I have tried to set it up again by choosing Yahoo from the list of providers - but that just took me into a 'set up Yahoo email' page (sign in or create account) . I couldn't use my sky email address or password in doing that. I now have a new yahoo email account [email protected] that I don't want. On the ipad mail it just shows an empty inbox for my Yahoo email (although my sky email address is still there under settings>mail) - no sent, trash, drafts etc. I have also followed other advice that sets up the email again using 'other' provider but changes the host names under incoming and outgoing mail server to apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com and apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com That hasn't worked either. The iphone (with exactly the same settings that I had on the ipad before messing around) works fine!

Oh Nokia, what have you done? (UK)

Oh Nokia! What have you done?
Restricting the Lumia 920 to a single network in the UK is a MAJOR mistake!
Ok, logic states you want to push the 920 via a 4G network, of which there is only one currently but that doesn't mean people will switch to that network.
We all know 4G will come to the other networks and people will buy a phone based on that and a myriad of other factors such as network coverage, customer service, Operating System etc.
So restricting availability to a single network which, to be frank, is not regarded as having the best service or coverage is simply ludicrous.
Yesterday I saw a retailer in the UK offering the 920 SIM Free. Yahoo! I can jump in with an off-contract purchase to supplement my two other Windows Phone 7.5 devices - one of which is also a Lumia (800 in this case, bought on the day of release!).
'Are you sure this is SIM Free and therefore Carrier unlocked?' I ask. 'Yes, all our SIM Free phones are unlocked.' came back the response.
OK, here is my £459 to buy the device....
Imagine my surprise when neither of my O2 SIMs were able to be used but my T-Mobile SIM was!
Call the retailer to be told by the Manager that it was SIM Free and unlocked. Back to shop I go - much testing with many SIMs ensued and a call to Tech Support confirms my suspicions that it was indeed locked to the EE family (EE/T-Mobile/Orange).
'Can I have an unlock code please?' I ask to have the response there are none available. Only option is to refund!
So Nokia, you have lost a sale of your flagship device (and being part of a UK Smartphone community that reviews, tests and supports such devices and users) and I know there is latent demand for it out there but no-one I know wants it on that network and certainly not on the commercial terms on offer where the 4G element is restricted...
The HTC 8X although specification wise maybe not quite close enough to the 920 to be called equivalent is close enough and has such a commercial advantage (read minimum £60 cheaper) and is available SIM Free to be the one to buy if you want a Windows Phone 8 device now.
So much for your loyal customer base who jumped in with Nokia on the release of the Lumia 800, they cannot now go to the 920. The 820 is not flagship and in comparison to the HTC 8x is somewhat lacking ( I had them both in my hands yesterday).
Oh, dear, Nokia, this is hardly likely to help your financial woes when you restrict sales of your flagship device in the UK.
I am happy to engage on this with Nokia UK and even review said device but in reality all I want is to be able to buy the device for personal use.
The Nokia Value Proposition is a strong one compared to the other Windows Phone 8 manufacturers (HTC 8S/X and Samsung Ativ) with the exclusive and attractive software elements but that's only a real value if the device can be obtained otherwise it is irrelevant.
I look forward to Nokia's response.....

Today I phoned t-mobile UK (South African call center???) to order an 920 as an upgrade, I made it quite clear that I wanted the 920, but the customer services advisor was absolutely determined to sell me an iPhone 5, stating the IP5 was a 'much better phone' etc. I was pretty annoyed at this behaviour as he was doing absolutely everything he could to persuade me to buy the IP5. I ended the call without ordering anything.
I eventually managed to order a 920, this time through a UK call centre, it would seem t-mobile UK and orange UK are doing everything in their power NOT to sell the phone, it's not listed on either of their online shops, even though you CAN buy it from them. Initially I was told the 920 wasn't available on t-mobile, even though my friend had got on on t-mobile a few hours earlier, once informed of this, they remembered it was available and allowed me to order.
To me it seems the TMUK and Orange are pushing the EE network at the expense of Nokia. Why, because people are put off by EEs ridiculously high monthly price plans, and TMUK & Orange aren't making it known that you can get it on their network at a much cheaper monthly rate.

What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
GarageBand 6.0.5
GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system. But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio. Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

I have done something terrible! nopen up, 'event' but if I click on them a triangle with an exclamation point comes up. What have I done, how can I get them back?

I have done something terrible! now some of my photos will not open up, I can see them in the 'event' but if I click on some of them I get a gray triangle with an exclamation point. What have I done and how do I rectify it?

The exclamation shows when the file path/link to the original file has been broken. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I have 4 mail icons on my desktop and cannot open any of them. I have no idea how I have done this but want to go back to having one mail icon which opens. What have I done and what should I do?

I am new to mac pro and have managed to set up 4 mail icons on my desk top and none of them open mail. What have I done and how do I get back to having just one in the doc which opens?

HA! It turns out, that an app that I've never used before, became active during a time that I was multitasking and didn't realize it. I didn't notice the effects right away, because my main desktop has a special 3D desktop generator called, bumptop, which covers over any other desktop color or graphic in that area. So it wasn't until I swiped to go to a different desktop, that I noticed the random slideshow being displayed. All fixed now. What a relief.

What have they done to Quicktime?
