Why is my Mac not using Quick Time when I want to start some Apple tutorials?

I got a new MacBook Pro this April. When I want to run some applications that use Quick Time, it suggests that I should download Quick Time. When it takes me to the appropriate window, it tells me I already have Quick Time installed with the OS. Why is it doing this?

Hello fmomade,
Some older video and software still requires an older version of QuickTime (version 7) that isn't included with Mountain Lion. It can, however, be downloaded and installed here.
Installing QuickTime Player 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3678
A Mac OS X v10.6, OS X Lion, and OS X Mountain Lion-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is available for use with older media or with AppleScript-based workflows. QuickTime Player 7 can be used to playback formats such as QTVR, interactive QuickTime Movies, and MIDI files. Also, it supports QuickTime 7 Pro registration codes for access to QuickTime Pro functionality.
To install QuickTime Player 7 on OS X Lion and OS X Mountain Lion
Download QuickTime Player 7 from here.
Double-click "QuickTimePlayer7.6.6_SnowLeopard". Note: This download is compatible with Mac OS X v10.6 or later.
QuickTime Player 7 will be installed in your Utilities folder.
Cheers,
Allen

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

  • How do I export a Final Cut Express 4 movie using quick time conversion without stretching the image?

    I have created a movie in Final Cut Express 4 using videos and still photos of various aspect ratios and resolutions.  Some of the photos are verticals.  When I try to use File>Export>Using Quick Time Conversion, my images end up being stretched horizontally when the video is finally processed.  I have tried preserving the aspect ratio but the video still ends up stretched horizontally.  What should my settings be in Quick time conversion?  I just want to make a video for YouTube.
    Thanks.  -Bob

    If you shoot in one of the following modes you should be able to Log & Transfer directly into FCE:
    HD:  1920x1080/60i (FX or FH mode)
    HD:  1440x1080/60i (HQ or LP mode)
    SD:  720x480/60i
    1080/60p (PS mode) seems to be the default mode in your camcorder.  FCE only supports progressive video in 720p50 or 720p60.   That's probably why you have had to import via iMovie.
    It would be better to upgrade to Final Cut Pro X, the version currently supported.  FCE was discontinued over 18 months ago and is not supported on Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • FCE crashes when export using Quick Time

    Hi All,
    When I select "Export - Using Quick Time Conversion", FCE crashes. I tried to repair permissions and rebooted but it did not help.
    Export using QT was working fine last week. I did some maintenance checks with Onyx over the weekend. Could it be the problem.
    Any suggestions for fix?
    Thanks.

  • Why can't I open a Quick time video (QTCON) on my Macbook 10.6.8?

    Why can't I open a Quick time video (QTCON) on my Macbook 10.6.8? This should be straight forward right? But its not.

    Quicktime X is a great little piece of software. However, Quicktime X is very finicky on which codec/file format it can decode/play.
    Luckily, there are DOZENS of alternative video/media players and extensions available for the Mac. Some of them are even FREE. Some of the better FREE ones include...
    PERIAN (quicktime extension)
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22923/perian
    QUICKTIME 7.6.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
    VLC Media Player
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5758/vlc-media-player
    NICEPLAYER
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15136/niceplayer
    ... And if none of those work, there is a possibility that, that video file may be corrupted.

  • Trying to export a small video using Quick Time conversion

    Hi...i apologize if this is a stupid question...i'm still kind of new at FCP. I'm trying to export a small one and a half minute video into a Quicktime file that's less than 1 GB. I exported as a Quick Time movie and it came out to 2.6 GB. I tried compressing using Compressor that and it took over 2 hours so I canceled it. I then tried exporting using Quick Time conversion and it came out to 66 MB, which is more what i'd expect. Except that the picture was only in the upper left hand corner of the Quick time viewer...the rest was black. I tried adjusting the dimensions, etc. but it didn't work. Any idea why this is happening? Are there some standard settings I can use for this? The video is for the internet so I'm not too terribly concerned about the picture quality. Thanks.

    What format is your media, Easy Setup and what are your Sequence Settings?
    They should all match.
    When you export, do so using the following path: File > Export > Export to QuickTime.
    Make sure that "With Current Settings" and " Make Movie Self-Contained are selected.
    This will give you an independent movie that is not compressed and uses the same codec as your source material.
    Depending on how you want to deliver your movie will determine what happens at the next stage.
    Post some details about it.

  • Final Cut Express Quits when exporting using Quick Time conversion to MPEG2

    I'm new Mac user and I'm trying to compress a movie from Final Cut Express HD when exporting using Quick Time conversion to MPEG2 format when I do that Final Cut application quits.
    and if helps you to answer I have the same problem trying to do the same from iMovie HD and from Adobe Premier 6.5

    "exporting using Quick Time conversion to MPEG2 format"
    I'm not sure how you can get to that point: I cannot even find MPEG2 in my list of compression types while exporting with QuickTime Conversion... (I have 31 of them, and QT 7 Pro installed).
    In any case, if you want to make a DVD and have iDVD installed, you have simply to Export/QuickTime Movie (without conversion): iDVD will take care of compressing your movie for you before burning the DVD.

  • Export using quick time

    Hi there everyone
    I have just exported using quicktime and the appropriate settings in imovie, when I went into idvd to set up and bring in movie it said that it hadn't been prepared for sharing and to share using media browser. Do I have to also do this if I have exported using quick time ?
    Or as normal am I missing something
    Thanks

    Mate trust me stick to the computers i'd say...... It was fun and I miss it alot but its not easy. We were farming a particular species called discuss hanni - asian i think and they are so delicate compared to others, they're the hardest to keep from dying and maintain a decent growth rate but they fetch serious money..... Its ok for the farms in japan and places alike as labour is so cheap but we were here in I Ireland and Labour is lets just say a wee bit on the expensive side. To cut along story short we were flying it we were the biggest farm farming that species in Europe and the first in the world to start using recirculatin water systems ( only use 5% fresh sea water per day ) - less pumping costs and manual cleaning labour costs. We were looking to sell 100 ton a year so needed appropriate investment - around 5 mill over 10 years - along came mr recession investors pulled out and bang. I now wake up in the morning look over the sea and see a ghost farm out on the point....... Thats why I have now ventured into the wedding business ( video booths ).......
    Ireland is not in a good place at the mo....
    Thanks for help

  • Explorer starts using Quick Time to play clips "out of the blue" .

    When I switched to Safari several years ago I noticed that Explorer did a better job at playing back movie clips so I kept using Explorer for only that purpose and Safari for everything else .
    Yesterday all-of-sudden Explorer started using Quick Time to play clips that last week the Explorer player(?) used . Everything had been reset to use Quick Time .
    I used finder to see if anything had been modified in Explorer in the last day and found a WAFF cache that was modified at the time of the switch . What is a WAFF cache ?
    I put it in the trash and it seems to have fixed it . The clips play in the old manner (sizeable windows) . And everything else seems to still be working .
    Does anybody know how and why this happened ?
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Explorer 5.2.2 Quick Time 7.0.3

    You'll find the browser settings in the Sys Prefs/QuickTime/Browser. You'll find "helpers" in the Internet Explorer preferences.
    What are "helpers"?
    I hadn't realized that Explorer used QTime. So I used finder to to tell me what happens when I download and for each clip it downloads a ;
    1) Movie_0000.. IETemp Quick Time Movie 10MB
    2)Orig_)0000.. IETemp MPEG Movie 3.4MB
    and sometimes but I don't know if always a ;
    3)IE Cache.waf 10MB WAFF file .
    still wondering how the settings were changed and if the IE Cache wa involved ?

  • How exactly do I transfer my dvds to my ipod using quick time pro 7?

    I keep seeing how to transfer them using the videora software, but can I transfer them using quick time pro 7? if so, where can I geta step by step tutorial on it?

    ok. In the link you gave me, it says if I have not
    already recorded my movies then to click on a link it
    has there, but it's only for mac users, I have pc. do
    I need to record my movie if im using a pc before I
    can transfer the movie? if so, how do I, since that
    link if for mac users only
    That link is talking about getting the video off a digital video camera. You want to get it from a DVD and we've already established that you can't do that with Quicktime Pro.
    Getting video off a camera using Windows would be specific to your camera and the software you use to do it.

  • I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I have AVI files that I need to convert to MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....When I have the files open in QT Pro do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
    Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files.  Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
    Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea.  Liable to cause problems down the road. 

  • Why is this query not using the index?

    check out this query:-
    SELECT CUST_PO_NUMBER, HEADER_ID, ORDER_TYPE, PO_DATE
    FROM TABLE1
    WHERE STATUS = 'N'
    and here's the explain plan:-
    1     
    2     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    3     | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)|
    4     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    5     | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 2735K| 140M| 81036 (2)|
    6     |* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| TABLE1 | 2735K| 140M| 81036 (2)|
    7     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    8     
    9     Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
    10     ---------------------------------------------------
    11     
    12     1 - filter("STATUS"='N')
    There is already an index on this column, as is shown below:-
         INDEX_NAME INDEX_TYPE     UNIQUENESS     TABLE_NAME     COLUMN_NAME     COLUMN_POSITION
    1     TABLE1_IDX2 NORMAL     NONUNIQUE     TABLE1      STATUS     1
    2     TABLE1_IDX NORMAL     NONUNIQUE     TABLE1     HEADER_ID     1
    So why is this query not using the index on the 'STATUS' Column?
    I've already tried using optimizer hints and regathering the stats on the table, but the execution plan still remains the same, i.e. it still uses a FTS.
    I have tried this command also:-
    exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('GECS','GEPS_CS_SALES_ORDER_HEADER',method_opt=>'for all indexed columns size auto',cascade=>true,degree=>4);
    inspite of this, the query is still using a full table scan.
    The table has around 55 Lakh records, across 60 columns. And because of the FTS, the query is taking a long time to execute. How do i make it use the index?
    Please help.

    If the cardinality is really as skewed as that, you may want to look at putting a histogram on the column (sounds like it would be in order, and that you don't have one).
    create table skewed_a_lot
    as
       select
          case when mod(level, 1000) = 0 then 'N' else 'Y' end as Flag,
          level as col1
       from dual connect by level <= 1000000;
    create index skewed_a_lot_i01 on skewed_a_lot (flag);
    exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user, 'SKEWED_A_LOT', cascade => true, method_opt => 'for all indexed columns size auto');Is an example.
