Why do I need QT Pro to save movies

I changed something in my preferences in conjunction with Flip4Mac while downloading a file. Now I have different pop down menu's and I can't save anything. I don't remember need to have QT Pro in the past to simply save a file?
Any ideas.
QT 7.3.0

It really depends on how the QuickTime browser plug-in is used (or not) as to whether you can save copies of Web based files.
If the link to the QuickTime content is "direct" then the browser plugin displays the content in a new browser window. You can then save the file without using QuickTime Pro because the browser is saving the file and not the QuickTime browser plug-in.
You can also copy/paste that direct link in the Safari Downloads window to keep a local copy of the file.
QuickTime Pro is required to save files that are not a direct link but some authors can change that by using the special html code kioskmode="true" which, again, disables Pro users from seeing the save as dialog.
At the far right of the QuickTime controller is a downward pointing arrow. A Pro user can click on this arrow and a contextual menu will appear to allow saving.

Need Quicktime Pro to save a Windows Mediaplayer video in Quicktime format?

I can't open videos from a FlipVideo Mino Model F360 (MPeg4 standard def.)with Adobe Premiere Elements 7 video editing software. Videos from my Canon EOS Rebel XSi work fine. I'm told it should work if files are saved in Quicktime format. I can't seem to do that unless I buy the Quicktime Pro version for $30. Annoying! Will it work? Is there some other problem here? I get sound but no picture now.

Just move your playhead to the frame you want exported.
go to:
File --> Export
Choose "Movie to picture" as your export option near the bottom of the window
Now you can click on the options button right next to it and choose your desired export format.

Tilting screen gives better colour matching with print why did I need spyder pro?

OK, that was not a serious comment but there is truth here, and it should not be?
Equipment:
Imac 10.4.11
Photoshop CS3
Canon printer
monitor callibrated with Spyder 3 Pro
Colour management policy accurate in theory,
Working space same as camera space same as embedded profiles from Raw.Adobe RGB1998,
working in 16 bit, minor adjustments in raw, and CS3.
paper used - Photo Paper Plus Glossy (PP101)
Printer profile set to SP2 (same as semi gloss unfortunatley)
Detailed setting used in apple print dialogue to highest which is 2 unfortunately, not 1.
Screen is set to Soft proof before print for above paper.
PROBLEM:
1. Blues and Greens always less saturated than screen
2. Prints generally slightly darker, This is problem with grays and shadows being darker than screen.
3. Oranges less saturated
4. Colours often, in general, are bland and lack the impact that I see even in the soft proof.
QUESTION:
What could be going wrong? I have used the channel mixer to compensate for colours, but this I was doing before i bought the spyder3 Pro. I should not have to do this. Does the printer convert on the fly a 16 bit data image to 8 bit, because I never convert before sending to the printer? In windows my printer shows the option to print using Adobe RGB 1998. But in my Mac I do not see this option, could it be that the printer is using s'RGB regardless of what CS3 sends to it?
I have been struggling with these issues for a few weeks now and can find no solution. EXCEPT, that when i tilt my LCD monitor upwards I get better colour accuracy, the darker parts of images are more in line with the photo. YET, i have profiled the monitor at least 15 times over the past 2 weeks.
I am Lost. Can anywhere help please?
thankyou, Chris.

Yes, they certainly should emphasize how quality and the means to achieve it are also tied to better equipment. It's also necessary that the users become more competent, of course, but the quality of the materials and equipment is just as crucial in order to achieve quality results.
>It is only something that I am beginning to realise. for me a monitor was a monitor. The way that colour management hardware manufacturers talk is therefore un-balanced.
They do their bit, which also includes the necessary evils of hype and marketing. It's *our* job not to fall for the inflated claims and the manufactured enthusiasm -- to ask around, read the reviews and understand how to interpret the specs. NEVER buy ANYTHING just based on the say-so of the manufacturer!
>The way that Pantone and makers of colour cards rant on about colour is also un-balanced. What they should be adding is ....with a proper monitor designed for photos these products will work??
The matching of spot colors on a monitor display is a tricky business in itself. Of the 1100 or so colors in the Pantone Coated palette, about 140 are more than 3 DeltaE 2000 outside of the gamut of sRGB (using Relative Colorimetric) and about 185 are more than 2 DeltaE 2000 off. The peak color difference is at 13 DeltaE.
But many of the monitors out there don't even cover sRGB, which is a relatively small color space. My Apple Studio Display has a gamut 15% *smaller* than sRGB, for example: more than 200 of the Pantone coated colors are 3 DeltaE 2000 or more outside its gamut (with a peak at 11.4 DeltaE), and 265 are off by 2 DeltaE or more.
On the other hand, the newer higher-end displays from Eizo and NEC-Mitsubishi (and others too from Samsung and HP) cover gamuts that are far wider, enough to cover AdobeRGB or larger.
Only 35 Pantone coated colors are outside AdobeRGB by 3 DeltaE 2000 or more, and 65 by 2 DeltaE 2000 or more (the highest color difference is a much more moderate 6.2 DeltaE).
Not perfect, but a much better situation -- all due to using a better monitor (which, yes, is also more expensive).

Pro to save movies from web...

Hi all,
First time post here. I just bought QT Pro and one of the features "Save as Quicktim Movie" in the browser plugin, just doesn't seem to have been activated. I don't want to steal content - just watch it offline (on the train home and stuff)... arrgh!
Any ideas?
Thanks,
J.

You must wait for the entire QuickTime file to download before the menu can be activated.

Why do I need to download a rental movie each time I want to pick up from when stopped

Why does apple tv store rented movies. Have to re-download each time want watch same rental

The Apple TV does not have accessible storage. It is simply caching the streamed content and once other content is accessed or the device turned off the rental is flushed requiring reload.
If you want to store you can rent on your computer and stream via home-sharing.

Using QT Pro to strip .mov files

I've connected my eMac to my pc via ethernet, so that I can send uncompressed .mov files to my pc, which has a huge HDD and a dual-layer burner, and burn them to dual-layer Disk there.
I've been told that QT Pro can remove the "packaging" from a .mov file, leaving a pure dv video file, which can then be edited and/or burned to disk.
Before I send away for QT Pro, can anyone tell me how to do this? Is it 100% effective? Does it result in full dv- quality burns?
Thanks,
Kurt

Maybe "stripped" isn't the right word. KS pointed out that iMovie places video files in a "container" called .mov. Which is simply to say that they have the extension "mov".
What he means, I guess, is that QT Pro can Save .mov files as pure DV files.
If that's the case, then I don't need an answer to this question. I guess...

Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud?

Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud? I don't have iCloud on my MacBook Pro and only intend to use the mini to check e-mail and use Garage Band and Photo Booth for song writing when traveling . . .

Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
High regards to everybody

Why does Bridge Need Illustrator to Save as PDF compatible file?

1. Why does Bridge need Illustrator files to be saved as PDF files? "PDF Compatible File" ticked in the save menu.
2. Why does saving with this info take so long, even on decent fast modern systems?
3. Why does Bridge not consistently render the Illustrator files in FULL RESOLUTIONS, seemingly shooting for half resolution much of the time, and simply stopping at that?
4. Why does "clicking" on the preview inside Bridge bring up the full resolution?
5. How do I shortcut this process so that every file is previewed in Full RESOLUTION, instantly?
What is the point of Bridge? What's its reason for existence?

Since someone is bound to say that this should be asked in the Bridge section... it already is. And has been referenced back over here.

Do I need Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update, and if so, how do I get it now?

Do I need Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update, and if so, how do I get it now?
Tuesday, 2008-07-29
Due to prolonged illness, I purchased the Logic Studio Upgrade version (I already had Logic Pro 7.2.3, with dongle) only last week. Logic Studio Upgrade version initially installs Logic Pro version 8.0.0. I then dutifully set out to download both the Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update and the Logic Pro 8.0.2 Update.
As of this week, all attempts and maneuvers to simply get the Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update have failed. I cannot even find it, let alone download it!
Yes, I've tried the relabeling juggling act to fool Software Update into eventually listing and providing both the Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update and the Logic Pro 8.0.2 Update—but no luck, not any longer. These moves may have worked up until relatively recently, but they do not work now, at least as of this week.
All searching of Apple's site(s) and Support pages results in nada—Apple itself no longer lists any such file/dmg/download/update anywhere! All previous links are either dead or just dump one back on to the Logic Pro 8.0.2 Update page.
(In my many searches, I noted what seemed to me to be a majority of opinion that the Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update was a dog, especially in Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2 or 10.5.3. Many users reported crashes, panics, and.or freezes. Is this why Apple has pulled the update and rendered it extinct?)
I Googled, I Asked Why, I Cuiled—but no Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update, except as that which lurked in the murky warez waters. Still, frustrated as I was, I did even try all such I could find . . . but no third party-hosted update worked at all.
I am concerned because in all my previous experience with Apple and its applications, ample information is made readily available about the contents of any update and an explanation of its relationship to previous updates. By this latter I mean: Apple indicates that update "x" incorporates the previous updates "u" and "v"; therefore one can proceed safely to install update "x" even if one missed updates "u" and "v" or for whatever reason did not install them.
So . . . do I need Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update, if I am then going to further update with the Logic Pro 8.0.2 Update? Does Logic Pro 8.0.2 Update incorporate the changes made in Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update? Will I be missing (critically?) something(s) in Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update if I in fact do not ever get it or install it? And how would I know? Apple has not only removed the update and all traces of it, but Apple has also removed all information about Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update—it is now literally as if it never existed.
So what's a po' boy to do? Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update cannot now be found on VersionTracker or MacUpdate or anywhere else. To date, no user group or organization or educational institution or program or audio-related company posted it or archived it.
Where/how can I get a copy of the Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update?
If I can't, what do I do?
If I can't, what do I miss?
And where is Apple's support for Logic Studio/Logic Pro in all of this?
Earnestly hoping,
j.

Rodger,
Thank you for your gracious welcome . . .
and thank you for your swift response . . .
and thank you for your information (and encouragement!).
Yes, I read that too, but searched in vain for the specifity of, say, your direction:
"Go ahead and update to 8.0.2, as it contains the 8.0.1 update."
So I shall!
Again, many thanks.

Why do I need to start up Screen Sharing twice to get it to work ?

I have an Intel Mac Mini connected to my TV, so I started using Screen Sharing from my MacBook Pro to be able to work on it when others were watching TV.
Both Macs used to have OSX 10.5 Leopard, and everything worked fine.
Now they both have OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard, and whenever I startup Screen Sharing, the connection-windows asking for my Name & Password comes up properly, but then it hangs... it stays in "Connecting..." for ever (litteraly).
I'm not able to quit or force-quit the connection-window by then, so it stays in view...
(Screen Sharing isn't even listed in the force-quit list as a running app)
but...
when I just try Screen Sharing again, I get connection immediately and it seems to work flawlessly...
...it's just that the connection-window is impossible to quit...
it stays in view an is really annoying...
this looks really crappy...
can anyone tell me why I do need to startup Screen Sharing twice to get it to work ?
Is this a bug ?
(If so : please apple fix this a.s.a.p.)
...or am I doing something wrong ?
(if so : what am I doing wrong ? and how can I get rid of this annoying screen ?)
Thank you for your kind reply.
Toon.B

it's October and this really annoying problem still exists !
the unnamed screensharing-loginwindow keeps "Connecting...", and I'm unable to shut it down...
...even after my screen sharing session is over
...even force-quitting is impossible (this 'app' just isn't showing up in the force-quit-window...)
please Apple - fix this ; under 10.5 it was working great !
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this ?
(besides restarting my Mac)
Thanks !

}My question is, why does the exceptions in the example code not need to be caught? And why do I have to catch the exceptions in my code? Several exceptions are thrown in the example code, but there is no catch statement.
Thanks for any advice!!

Since your question didn't come with any relevant details, and since you have huge steaming piles of irrelevant code, all I can give is a general answer to "Why do I need to catch this exception?"
[url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/index.html]Exception tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/index.html
Here's a quick overview of exceptions:
The base class for all exceptions is Throwable. Java provides Exception and Error that extend Throwable. RuntimeException (and many others) extend Exception.
RuntimeException and its descendants, and Error and its descendants, are called unchecked exceptions. Everything else is a checked exception.
If your method, or any method it calls, can throw a checked exception, then your method must either catch that exception, or declare that your method throws that exception. This way, when I call your method, I know at compile time what can possibly go wrong and I can decide whether to handle it or just bubble it up to my caller. Catching a given exception also catches all that exception's descendants. Declaring that you throw a given exception means that you might throw that exception or any of its descendants.
Unchecked exceptions (RuntimeException, Error, and their descendants) are not subject to those restrictions. Any method can throw any unchecked exception at any time without declaring it. This is because unchecked exceptions are either the sign of a coding error (RuntimeException), which is totally preventable and should be fixed rather than handled by the code that encounters it, or a problem in the VM, which in general can not be predicted or handled.

What Is, And Why do I need it: ExpressCard/34 Slot?

In the very near future I will be obtaining a 17" MBP. That's just savvy, except for one minor detail. What is an ExpressCard/34 slot, why do I need one, why would it have been included in this particular size MBP and what can I shove in there?

The expresscard slot is for expansion purposes. it allows a low cost esata connection to your macbook pro. you can plug an esata adapter in and then use one of many external esata enclosures. "apiotek ec-0003d" costs about 40 bucks and will let you add 2 non-bootable external esata enclosures then can run at 3Gbps. fw800 runs at 800Mbps..
"OWC esatat sata expressCard/34Adapter" bootable 1 esata adapter is 19 bucks it will let you add 1 esata enclosure at speeds up to 3Gbps.
so if you get the non bootable one you can add 2 enclosures like "sans digital towerStor Ts2ct". that would be up to 4Tb for each one total of 8tb far faster then fire wire. if you get the bootable 1 esata type you could add 1 external at 4tb. this lets you macbook pro boot from a 4tb external at internal speeds. kind of gives you the ability to make you laptop a real desk top when you want it to be that. Then back to a real lap top by unplugging it. Not trying to sell any of the above items I just happen to use them.
This option was pulled from iMac's a real drag as iMacs could use more fast enclosures.

Why do I need Quick time 7 and Quicktime 10 ?

I have just migrated from iMac5 (2.16 GHz) Mac OS 10.4.11 Quicktime 7.6.4 to a new imac 3.06 Mac OS 10.6.2 Quicktime 10.0.
Some of my quicktime files play ok but others prompt me to download quicktime version 7. Why do I need to do this ? (There seem to be a lot of problems with this looking at the forums). All the files play on the old mac. Why isn't Quicktime forward compatible or why is there no import facility so that you can make your old files compatible ?
Or am I missing something ?

Some of my quicktime files play ok but others prompt me to download quicktime version 7. Why do I need to do this ?
Because your system thinks you are missing specific codecs required for the playback of certain compression formats. In some cases this may be an installation problem in which the codec was "lost" or "orphaned" during the update process. In others it may be a need to update the component to work properly under the dual QT X/7 framework installed under the Snow Leopard OS. You need to check the Inspector/Finder Info or similar window to determine what specific codec is causing the problem and then re-install or update that specific codec/component/package.
(There seem to be a lot of problems with this looking at the forums).
Most of the problems are "self-inflicted" by individuals who, rather than studying the problem symptoms, analyzing them to determine their cause, and then fixing the problems, elect to immediately delete and re-install software -- often attempting to mix components from different operating systems and/or update versions of the software in their haste.
All the files play on the old mac. Why isn't Quicktime forward compatible or why is there no import facility so that you can make your old files compatible?
I am running both Leopard and Snow Leopard variations of QT v7.6.6 and all of my "old" files have remained compatible -- to include MPEG-2 video and a limited number of third-party supported compression formats. Since my configurations continue to work properly, my first guess is that you have an unresolved configuration problem or inability for your QT X 64-bit routines to communicate/switch properly with the 32-bit routines as required for your content.
Why do I need Quick time 7 and Quicktime 10?
Technically, you probably don't. However, as an old QT 7 Pro user who likes many of the QT 7 Player controls/options/features better than QT X's new but more basic features, I maintain both in active service and tend to use QT 7 as the default player of most of my work flows. Still, this is up to the individual. I am in no hurry to rush the changeover from an older but still more reliable QT technology to a more modern, but as yet, less mature and well tested "new" QT technology. In short, I feel it best to make the most of both dispensations during the development of this "new" version of QT.

Why can I no longer open or save documents in word?

Why can I no longer open or save files using office for mac?

Go to the Apple Menu (top left) click the Apple Menu and select "About This Mac"
That will result in this window:
The version number is right underneath Mac OSX.
Then I will need to know which version of Office (Word) which you will see on the splash screen when you start it.
