Why does quicktime only export audio

Why does Quicktime only export audio when exporting .mov files? I used to do it all the time with this same version. Now it doesn't work. I see a lot of other posts asking the same question and no answers.
MOV files are audio and/or video content wrapped in an MOV file container. The first step in solving your problem would be to determine what codec components were used to create the source files and then determine if they are still supported by you current system configutation and/or conversion work flow.

Quicktime only exports audio in Lion

I have just upgraded to Lion and I can no longer get Quicktime to export video. When I select Export>Format>480p (for example) only the audio will export. What's goign on? Is there a fix for this?

What version are you using?
I was using QT 7 Pro version 7.6.6 as indicated by the ability to select different video compression formats as stated above.
As far as I know, there is only one QuickTime version available for OS X Lion, Version 10.1. It is the program that came with the new OS X Lion.
If you had QT 7 Pro installed on your Snow Leopard system at the time it was upgraded to Lion, then it would still be there after the upgrade. In addition, users can install the QT 7 Player to Lion after upgrading and key it for QT 7 Pro use if they so desire.
I was capable of exporting video and sound in Snow Leopard. Here is the flow process: In OS X Lion, open a .mov file. Go to File then Export. At the bottom of the dialog box it says Format. You can choose 480p, 720p, 1080p, then a line, then iPod..., Ipad..., Mac & PC, then a line, then Audio Only. These are the presets.
You still should be able to do so. I just ran four additional tests using four of the QT X "presets" at random. All successfully created an H.264/AAC file with playing video.
I'm not sure you are using the same version of QuickTime or the same OS if you do not see these things. At any rate, no matter the selection I choose, the only output I receive is an audio file. I think there is a bug in the new QuickTime.
I wasn't. That is why I asked which you were using so I could try and duplicate your work flow. Since I have no problem converting files, it does not sound like a bug—rather a bad software install or a conflict between the QT Player X and some third-party app you have installed on your system which I don't. However, you still have not indicated what video compression format was used in the source file. WMV for instance would be playback compatible if you had the free Flip4Mac player codec component installed but not conversion compatible without paying a minimum of $29 for the WMV "import" codec.

Why does preview only export the the *first* page of a multi-page PDF, regardless of what page I'm on?

I am trying to save all 20 pages of a pdf as .png images. I scroll to each page and then select File>Export... and save an image. Regardless of which page I'm on, it will only export the first page.
*LAME*
What is even more lame is that I'm doing this work-around because whoever created this datasheet either didn't properly embed the fonts, or the fonts are corrupt, hence, while it displays perfectly on the screen, printing yeilds:
ERROR: invalidfont
OFFENDING COMMAND: show
STACK:
If it can display it, there should be a way to print what you see (remember rasterized plots back in the day??).

That does seem rather useless.
Use Automator - it has a "PDF to Images" action that will do exactly what you need. Drop your document into the workflow, drop the "PDF to Images" action in right after that, set any options that you need (like where to save) and then click "run"
Barring that, I've found that sometimes Adobe Reader will sometimes work well for documents that Preview can't print, and I've found some documents that Adobe Reader chokes on but Preview handles flawlessly.

Why does Quicktime only upload 720p to youtube?

I have the new 10.1 Quicktime and use it to trim my 1080p HD .mov files. When I upload them directly to youtube from within quicktime they only play up to 720p in youtube. Is this a limitation of the quicktime player?

Is this a limitation of the quicktime player?
Not a YouTube user, but according to the You Tube side...
Not per se. QT itself supports 1080i/p encoding but the share presets are limited. If you want to use full 1080i/p HD, then manually convert the files using FCP, iMovie, QT 7 Pro, or GaragBand. Once you have created the target file PER THESE YOUTUBE INSTRUCTIONS, you can then manually upload the full HD video using the YouTube site uploader.

Can QuickTime X Exporting Audio Only???

Can QuickTime X export audio like QuickTimePro did (.aiff, .aac, etc.) ?
QuickTime X has the same ability to record audio but seems to only alllow me to save it as a .mov or a .mp4 file. What gives!

Use the QuickTime Player Pro app (Utilities folder) for those conversions (exports).

Why does quicktime run like crap?

Why does quicktime run like crap, skips frames like crazy? If I install xvid codecs instead and play the movies in windows media player they play without a glitch. Why is that? I'm must say I'm not impressed with the first apple software I've tried. Also another annoying thing... I don't want iTunes and all the other crap with it! Just quicktime. Also almost all the menu's are blocked with pro upgrade.... do apple customers have to buy quicktime pro as well?

Impossible to say, "allp", without knowing anything about your system, the version of QT you're running, nor the movies you're trying to play and from what medium you're playing them. QT movies work just fine on my Dell Dimension 8200 (specific specs on request).
You can download QuickTime alone, without iTunes, here.
And yes, the menus involved with editing and exporting will almost all be nonfunctional until you buy the Pro upgrade. And it's the same with Macs as with Windows; we all have to purchase the Pro upgrade to get that functionality.

Why does iPhoto only import 3 year of photos from my iPad?

Why does iPhoto only import 3 year of photos from my iPad? Is it possible to go all the way back to 2001? IOS 10.2, old iPd...

iPhoto only imports from the Camera roll.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Why does apple only support mp4 videos?

It's not really a problem, i usually use my friends computers to convert my videos since mine is so slow.
But why does apple only support MP4 and MOV formats? Why not MPEG or DivX?
I know they cannot use WMV because it is a Microsoft format.
It's just sometimes when i convert videos, the audio becomes out of sync or iTunes complains it's not playable on my iPod.
I would just like to know why?
Thanks for your time.

If Apple chooses to go with H.264 or MP4 or whatever else they want to support, maybe it would be real nice if iTunes could automatically convert to those formats. So if I dropped my universally standard (and supported by most DVD players) DivX video clip in the library, iTunes would convert and format the video to an iPod friendly format.
So, let me see if I understand this correctly. You want Apple to pirate proprietary codecs from DivX and build them into iTunes QT access. Tell me, does this mean that Apple is working as your agent and you will be the one spending time behind bars or paying the fines. Or, are you saying that Apple should act as an agent for DivX and charge you for a version of iTunes with legal codecs installed. How about Windows Media? Want to double the cost? What about Real? Or maybe Apple should have different versions of iTunes -- one for you and one for the guy who lives next door who uses old Indeo files?
I have tried several 3rd party converters and they all suck.
Perhaps you should be more selective in choosing a converter or invest in a commercial product which is supported by the people selling it.

Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

Media Encoder/After Effects CC 2014 Only Export Audio

I've been having a strange problem with Media Encoder CC 2014 & After Effects CC 2014. If I try to export a comp either through Media Encoder or directly from the After Effects Render Queue then it only exports audio. If I bring the AE Comp into Premiere and export from there either by sending it to Media Encoder or exporting it directly from Premiere then it exports fine and gives me audio and video.

Why does my php export feature work in IE and not firefox?

Why does my php export feature work in IE and not Firefox? I've written a web application which contains a SigmaGrid. The grid controls reload, add update delete, print and export to csv all work in IE8. The export feature does not work in Firefox.

I'm not sure what's going on for you. I've had 4 other developers - two on Comcast and two on Fios review my work and they get the control and export action in the IE8 version but not the FF10 version.
Thanks for looking into this for me, though. I appreciate the effort. '' The operation was a success doctor, but the patient died.''

Why does facetime only use a wireless network; isn't 3G the same thing?

I thought buying an iPad2 with wifi+3g would give me constant internet time. Why does facetime only work with a wifi network? Shouldn't the 3G "kick in" if there is no WiFi around?
My other problem is in the Photo's section: I've looked at the tutorials and read the sections on photo's in the ipad manual and I still cannot figure out how to label an album?
Any help in both of these areas would be greatly appreciated...Thank You!!

Yes.
Photos in the iPad's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. These photos are included with the iPad's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, but if these photos aren't imported by your computer and a problem develops with your iPad's backup in regards to this data and you restore your iPad with iTunes if wanted or needed, kiss these photos goodbye. The same if your iPad is lost or stolen and not replaced with another.
As with any other photos on your computer that are organized by events or albums selected to be transferred to your iPad, import these photos with your computer and organize the imported photos in the same way you organize any other photos imported from a digital camera, etc. Select the albums under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences followed by a sync.
This way you have the photos available on your computer's hard drive for access there as well along with being organized as you prefer, and which can be included with your computer's backup along with all other data.

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly it and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be pl

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey.
example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive) the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
but that is very occasionally, most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed , I don't know how that effects qt.
qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)
I have gone to VLC and MPlayerX for direct playback for drones and cameras.

Please explain in more detail what you updated and what isn't working now. You might also add anything you have already done to correct the problem.

Why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

what does this mean ?
Beta means it is unfinished, not fully featured and may have bugs.
so is it not possible for siri to tell me the weather, and maps and businesses for Australia?
That's correct. Nor will it do it for me in the UK. As it say's in the Siri FAQ I linked to:
"Maps and local search support will be available in additional countries in 2012."
