Why video wont run by pressing space bar ?

Hi there,
Previously in Snow Leopard, when I went to a video filename and press space bar, the video will play.
But now in Mountain Lion (bcos I just bought the new slim iMac), the video wont play anymore when I press the spacebar.
But if I right click the filename and select "Play with" and choose Quick Time Player, it will play the video.
How do I make the video play straight away after pressing space bar ?
Thanks

Thanks Karen. That works !

  • I cannot see the text while typing unless I press space bar or enter. This problem only happens on Premiere Pro CS6 and Final Draft 9.

    The word just doesn't show up unless I press space bar or enter. This just happens on script window in final draft 9 and title window in Premiere Pro.

    That card is under-powered for the hardware-accelerated Mercury Playback Engine.  If you've tried to get it working with hardware MPE, then that's a likely cause of the crashing.  Pr needs at least 1 GB of VRAM for hardware MPE.  Stick to software MPE and things may improve.

  • Itunes album name autocomplete when pressing space bar

    Hey guys
    Got an annoying problem here.
    When im typing in the name of an album in get info, anytime i press the space bar when typing a name it autocompletes ANY album which starts in that way.
    ie The Very Best. i type The then press space bar and it fills in the first name it finds.
    Anyone else with this issue can help?

    The current auto-complete behaviour when you press space is a bug. A workaround is to type say a leading X, then what you want to type, then remove the X.
    Or if you hold down Shift as you Right-click > Get Info you get the old style Get Info dialog box which you may find easier to use until the bug gets fixed.

  • Why do my .Mov's not play after pressing space bar

    I used to be able to press the space bar on any movie file I had and it would open up and play. Now for some reason, it opens up a window but it is just black? If I double click it or open it in Quick TIme it plays fine, but I liked the feature of just clicking my space bar and it playing straight away. Any ideas why it isn't doing this anymore?

    You problem sounded rather odd, so I tried to duplicate it in iTunes 11 and I couldn't.
    I turned off copy to iTunes media folder when adding to library, then I moved a music track that was not in the iTunes media folder from folder A to folder B and right clicked on it and selected open with iTunes and it played fine. (I have to do it this way as iTunes is not my default player for MP3).
    However the consequences of doing this are that you end up with two copies of the track in the library database, the original which can no longer be found as it is not in its original location and the new entry pointing to the correct location which plays OK.
    So as far as I can tell, there must be something else going on as I can't dublicate your problem in iTunes 11

    If you want an easy time with iTunes it really is easier to let iTunes manage your music in the iTunes media folder. Also it make life a lot easier if you want to move to a new disk or PC as iTunes can tolerate the iTunes media folder being moved as long as you tell it where it is.

    I realised that my last experment was not a purchased track.
    When I did it with a purchased track, iTunes recognises that it should be in the library database and brings the track up with an exclamation mark next to it. Strangely the track was added to the library with the correct loaction and would play on the secon try.
    Odd behaviour, maybe it is something to do with the icloud storage system as iTunes knows you purchased the track.

    Have multiple fields the same "name", are some field name or value too long.
    Check your Sapgui settings [[Alt]+[F12]|http://help.sap.com/SAPhelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f9/9f9d427cab0831e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] and read OSS notes like  [Note 399180 - SAP GUI input history depending on field (name) length|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/399180]

  • Why do I run out of space when Transferring Purchases?

    There have been many instances when I'm moving the apps from the iPad to the computer through iTunes for syncing purposes and the iPad ends up being "stuck"  since a dialog box from the iPad pops up warning me of no memory left. Why is it losing memory when it's transferring? How do I avoid this? It's happened when I have had 2gigs left on the iPad.

    2 things.  The process of transferring apps involves making a copy, then sending it.  The copy uses up space.
    Second, if you only have 2 gig open, you will likely run into other similar issues.  Any computer needs some headroom for temporary finds etc.  the old rule of thumb is 10 pct of space.  So you may need to clear some stuff out, just to give your pad room to maneuver.

  • When you press space bar AE plays the wrong comp ?

    I seem to have an issue with the spacebar in AE CC.
    When I press the spacebar the current comp is not play, rather AE switches to another comp and plays that one instead.
    This is an intermittent problem and the only way to fix it is to shutdown AE and reboot the software.
    Any ideas ?

    In addition to what others have said which should answer your actual question, spacebar is not the normal way to preview things in AE. You should probably go through these resources: Getting started with After Effects If you're doing something as fundamental as previewing in an unusual (and mostly wrong) way, I can only imagine how the resources linked there will help you avoid a lot of frustration in the future.

    Hi,
    Just login to any SAP system in which you want to get the last enter word by pressing space bar.. In the main screen click on the customize local layout icon or press (Alt+F12). -> Options->Local date (tab page) ->ON (history) and click on Apply and Ok.

  • Plain jane image slideshow wont run in safari?

    Hello all....
    at www.midainternationalinc.com I've got a plain jane image rotator javascript that is supposed to run a set of images nicely in the top right hand corner. in IE and FF it runs fine...but NOT in Chrome and Safari? the script is this one -- Ultimate Fade-In Slideshow (v1.5): © Dynamic Drive (http://www.dynamicdrive.com)
    I've asked for help in the Chrome help areas, but wonder why it wont run in Safari? I'm running 3.2.1 on XPPro/SP3....and I'm stumped....and yes, javascript is enabled in Safari and I can go to a javascript page say at dynamicdrive.com and things work fine....
    ? can someone help here?
    Jim

    I'm not a Webpage designer/coder, so there's a limit to the advice I can give you here. But I can see the effect you're describing on my Safari 4.0.4 for Windows.
    I tried using the Web Inspector and the Error Console (in the Develop menu in Safari 4.0.4) to have a look at your page. Both of them are reporting the following error about your javascript:
    *ReferenceError: Can't find variable: obj*
    Since both Safari and Chrome are WebKit-based:

    ... I figure the Chrome browsers are running into a similar sort of trouble when viewing the page.

  • Control 0 and space bar (hand tool) not functioning.

    When I press control 0 in the editor the image no longer returns to full screen. It becomes an image about 1/4 of the screen. Also when I press space bar to get the hand tool the hand appears but it doesn't move the image around when I try to drag it. I have reset all tools and the hand and zoom tools but it hasn't helped. Can anyone help?

  • Why won't my Premier Elements 13 video production run when I push the play arrow?  It worked yesterday.

    Premier Elements 13
    I am in the process of making a movie with Premier Elements 13; it has been functioning fine--until today. For some reason, it no longer plays when I press the play arrow button to preview recent additions to the script.  I have rendered the files.  I have exited the program and reopened it.  I have turned the computer off and on.  None of his helps.  Any suggestions?

    ATR,
    Thanks for your reply and comments.
    My Premier Elements program 13 is running on a 64 bit computer with Windows 8.1, with all drivers updated—I think.
    When I press the space bar instead of the play button, still no movement at all.
    When I created a new video with just a couple of pictures, still no luck getting the play button or spacebar to work.
    So far, I have not found the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file, even with your instructions.  When I get to "roaming" there is no file for Adobe in that folder.
    Another clue:  When I began to add narration, the microphone did not work, so I changed some settings relating to audio and recording.  The problem with the play button began, I think, as a result my getting the mike to work.  But since I am not exactly sure what I changed, I can’t go back and reset those settings.
    BTW, when I close PE 13 and open PE 11, everything that I created in 11 works fine.  That is, the play button advances the time line indicator, as it should.  So, the problem seems to not be in my computer settings, but something unique to PE 13.
