Where is the quicktime plugins folder in 10.6.7

I bought a new MacBook Pro running 10.6.7 and updated it from a backup from my old MacBook Time Capsule backup and now a lot of videos won't play in iTunes or Quicktime. I had a search around and people said it was probably because Apple has moved the Quicktime plugins folder. I've had a look, and I have quicktime plugin folders at the following locations:
HD > Library > Quicktime
HD > System > Library > Quicktime
HD > Users > (me) > Library > Quicktime
All of them have various Quicktime plugins in them. Can someone please tell me:
what plugins are installed by default in OS 10.6.7, and
in which folder they should be in so I can move them to the right location?
Thank you

what plugins are installed by default in OS 10.6.7
In general, all components installed by the OS installation disc which are required for proper OS function are installed in the "~/System/Library/QuickTime" folder. Depending on the type of installation, this may or may not include previous components from older operating systems which may or may not still be functional. As I am not willing to perform a "clean" install to check on the specifics of this question or generate a list of specific components, I cannot go into more detail. QTKirk may have more exacting information regarding this question. (You could, of course, perform a clean install on a secondary internal or external drive to generate this information on your own.)
The "~/Library/QuickTime" folder contains "global" add-on components. This may include components automatically installed by such applications as iMovie, FCP, and/or third-party components installed by the user.
The "~/Users/named_user/Library/QuickTime" folder contains "local" add-on components. The components placed in this area by third-party installers or users are limited to in use to that specific account on multi-account systems.

You're looking at plugin settings. A plugin setting is not an Ultrabeat sample. Wrong place. Look in:
/Library/Application Support/Logic/Ultrabeat Samples/
unless you've moved it elsewhere...

Where have the Quicktime advanced export settings gone in Keynote 6.3?

Where have the Quicktime advanced export settings gone in Keynote 6.3?
In previous versions, it was possible to select numerous options and setting to export a high quality Quicktime video.

The new version 6 and the previous version 5 can both be installed, many users use both to utilise the different features. If you had the previous version installed and have not deleted it is located in iWorks in the Applications folder. If you don't have the previous version it is available from Ebay.

What are the basic components in the library plugins folder.

What are the standard plugins in the Library/Plugins folder for Snow Leopard? I'm trying to figure out what I can uninstall and I have no clue.

It probably contains the empty folders Components, HAL, MAS, and VST. (I'm not sure, since my folders do contain stuff.) But none of Apple's standard effects and instruments are sitting there.

I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. I have tried to download the latest plugin but this doesn't work. Can anyone help?

Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Where's the My Templates folder in Yosemite, or How to delete a Numbers template.

I have Numbers 3.5.2 - where'd the My Templates folder go? I don't see it in Library/Application Support. .... In other words, I'm trying to delete unwanted templates. Could it be that it's now easier to find than in earlier iWorks, but I'm missing the obvious???

When in doubt, check HELP. (duh).............
Rename or delete a custom template
After you install a template, it appears in the My Templates category in the template chooser.
In the template chooser, Control-click the template name, then choose Rename or Delete.
If you’re renaming, type a new name, then press Return.
You can’t rearrange templates; they always appear in the order in which they were added.

The quicktime plugin doesn't play mp3 in Firefox

I've got a webpage with <a href="audiofile.mp3" target="a_frame">link text</a>. This page is part of a website that I'm webmaster on.
Clicking on the link always plays the audio in Safari but is inconsistent in Firefox in my iMac (OSX 10.6.8). Sometimes the file plays but mostly the click gets ignored. I'm using Firefox 5.0.1 and the Quicktime plugin is 7.6.6.
I've tried this page on PC based browsers. Chrome works every time. IE mostly works but sometimes the audio plays but the player controls aren't displayed. Firefox is inconsistent.
I've tried disabling other plugins. Any ideas?

Your "direct link" code doesn't give any instructions to any browser plug-in. Without instructions each different page visitor will get different behavior. Some visitors settings would download the file and others would play the file using a different browser plug-in (Real Player or WMP for example).

I've upgraded to firefox 4/snow leopard and now my .avi's won't play using the quicktime plugin. What am I doing wrong?

I'm unable to play .avi's in Firefox 4 that worked fine in Firefox 3. I just get a blank page. I've also upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard (prior to upgrading Firefox) since the last time I viewed them.
I'm serving these files from my local harddrive so the url starts with file::
I believe these were displayed using the quicktime plugin. Firefox reports my current quicktime plugin as version 7.6.6
I need to get this working because I'm giving a talk soon, and I've been using references in my talk pdf to link to the movies.
======
Just checked, and my movies play fine in Safari. Crud. I'd rather not have to switch to Safari as my default browser. Yuk.

Update: Turns out this is only a problem when the .avi is stored locally and served locally. I uploaded the file to a server and then pointed Firefox there. In that case it displays just fine. Weird.

I cannot get the Quicktime plugin to update from v7.7.3 to the CURRENT 7.6.6 . My plugins view tells me I'm at risk and need to update but try as I might, it won't take. I consider myself and above average Mac User. Please advise. Thank you

for some inexplicable reason, I cannot get the Quicktime plugin to update from v7.7.3 to the CURRENT 7.6.6 .

Someone recently noted a problem staying logged on the Huffington Post since it became connected with AOL. The workaround for that is to change your connection setting here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network
Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change.
Not sure whether Washington Post could be affected by that same setting.
In reviewing your extensions, I'm puzzled that you have both DoNotTrackMe and SavvyConnect. The first one seems to aggressively block certain communications with websites (potentially affecting functionality) while the second one seems to report on your browsing habits (they better pay well is all I can say). Have you tried disabling both of those to see whether that has any effect?

Trying to install search add-ons (top-rated, safe). I click install, restart and nothing happens. They do not appear in the search plugins folder.

Starting up with a new computer, I've been trying to install two search engine add-ons: easy youtube video downloader and
search IMDB. They are top rated so presumably safe and approved. I go through the whole process of installing them, and restart Firefox as instructed but nothing happens. I looked in the search plugins folder in Firefox (Program Files). I can see the search add-ons that were there when I first started on this computer, but none of the ones I'm trying to add are there. I've gone around and around on this repeatedly with no success. Please help.

Addon search engines aren't in the Firefox program files \searchplugins\ folder, they are in the \searchplugins\ folder in the user's respective '''Profile''' folder.

Where is the user profile folder located on Mobile Firefox?

I'm developing a plugin for "Firefox for Android" and I need to create a folder with some files for my plugin. I'm trying to do this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Code_snippets/File_I_O
BUT I can't check ir the directory has already created. Where I can see the "ProfD" on Android? I readed another answers in the Net saying this is in:
/data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/???????.default/
But when I open my Android File Manager, there is no data/data directory. There is only one data/ and no mozilla inside there.
Help!

You won't be able to see the /data/data folder when the phone is attached to the computer as a disk drive. Android only exposes the /sdcard folder and its children folders when the phone is attached over usb.

Where is the "Application Support Folder"?

OK, apparently, I did something stupid.
I had both Master Collection CS4 and CS5 on my MacBook Pro. I decided to uninstall CS4. I did some research and did it the way I think I was supposed to. First, I deactivated it. Then I used the CS4 Uninstaller. So far so good.
But, when I boot us CS5, I get the following message:
"One or more files in the Adobe Applicatoin Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop."
Here's where the stupid part comes in. I am on the road and, naturally, do not have the disks to reinstall my Master Collection.
However, here's the less stupid part. I do have a complete clone of the drive BEFORE I did the uninstall.
So, where can I find the Application Support Folder and can I just drag it over?
Thanks.
sjh
PS. I'll be on the road for a month and really need this to work.

Anyone wishing to uninstall a previous version of Photoshop should do so BEFORE installing a newer version. Always.
That being said, I advice against uninstalling previous versions.

Sorry I don't have specific remedial advice that meets your not-altogether-reasonable requirements (I cannot do a new clean install because I do not have my new disc's [sic]) in your situation.

Where is the back up folder in Itunes

I want to use synctoy to back up my Ipod but I don't know where the folder is located that has all the apps and stuff in it on my pc to back up
can anyone tell me. thanks.

Go to the advanced tab in iTunes' preferences. The location of the iTunes media folder is specified. You also want to backup the iPOd backup file. That file is located here:
iTunes gives your backup a unique name for each device. To find the backup you just created, sort the window view by date and time created or last modified. iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
You may have to have show hidden file turned on.

I need the quicktime plugin, but everytime I want to install it, the whole quicktime player is downloaded without the plugin.

quicktime plugin from aplle can only be installed with the whole quick time player.
I download it but nothing happenes, videos still cannot be streamed in firefox.
I tried to install the plugin manually out of the quicktime file, but it seemes as though the plugin was not downloaded with the player.
Did I do everything right? what is going wrong?

I see that I have the QT plugin 7.6.6 in my 'installed plugins' list. I was wondering if this was a carry over from previous versions of the OS and perhaps this is screwing everything up.
No. Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
The page loads fine for me, but it takes a ittle while before it does so after the Quicktime icon shows.
