Wierd Quicktime Issue....Ideas????

Got a 3 Ghz Mac Pro...all is well....then all of a sudden when playing mpg files in quicktime, there is no sound though the internal speaker or headphones. mov, mp4, wmv, avi, etc all will play audio through the internal speakers or headphone...now here is the wierd part...if I use an external audio device, the mpg will play the audio through an external audio device. Now if I use VLC or any other program to play the mpg file, it will play perfectly through the internal speakers. So it seems that ONLY quickime player suddenly will not play audio from mpg files out of the internal speaker or headphones. I resinstalled quick time, and did a archive and install on the OS, reset the PRAM, and repaired permissions....still no luck....

I understand that part. It is lame that Quicktime just stops working without an error msg. Garageband changes the setting to 41/16 without notification which is equally annoying. DVD player changes the setting during playback then reverts back upon quit. Audio/MIDI setup should display a warning when an app changes your default settings. I know a 48/16 file will not sound any better but a 96/24 file sounds worse when the setting is changed without warning. VLC plays these files without requiring a setting change.

ITunes skipping during audio while browsing the web - Quicktime issue?

iTunes 11.1.2 for Win 7 is skipping during playback of audio when I am browsing the web. Is this a Quicktime issue? I tried changing the audio output device latency but it didn't do anything different as far as skipping goes. Any suggestions?

Actually, that doesn't work either. Here's the solution that is working consistently:
Go to iTunes, and Preferences > Playback tab > Play Audio Using > Windows Audio Session instead of Direct Sound. There we go, that works!!

Wierd DHCP Issue

Hello All,
I facing a very wierd DHCP issue and would like to know your thoughts on it.
I have my wired clients on vlan 1 and wireless cleints(eap-peap) on VLAN 2.
We are facing an issue where multiple wired clients who were on access port vlan 1 are receiving IP address from wireless subnet(vlan2) -their DHCP server was the WLC virtual gateway IP address(1.1.1.1). This is causing an outage to few wired clients.
The WLC trunk does not have vlan 1 allowed on its ports and all APs are in local mode and all on access vlan.
I'm not entirely sure whats causing this, but only way I think this is possible is that 'A Client' laptop has his network connections bridged - his wired nic on VLAN 1 and wireless NIC on vlan 2, acting like a WGB, which is causing new wired clients(vlan1) DHCP broadcast request forwared through the bidge mode laptop to AP--> WLC. Do you think this is possible??
Havent been able to identify which client is causing this issue yet.
Has anyone faced a similar issue and anyway to block this through WLC/ACS policy?
Thanks
Jino

Hi,
Might we consider to make use of network monitor to take a look at the traffics for the 1.1.1.1 address?

Embedded Quicktime Issue

I know someone else had a similar quicktime issue, but I
didn't want to hijack their thread since mine is a little
different.
My QT videos work, they are embedded on page and play fine,
the exception being they do not autostart as they should.
The QT files were exported with the fast start option
enabled. When the page loads, you can hear the video playing, but
the screens black until you click on it or press enter as notified
by the alert. I thought you could prevent this using the
autostart=true parameter.
Can someone look at this page and let me know what I am doing
wrong.

Thanks.

Works fine for me in Win FF 2.0006 with QT browser plug-in
ver. 7.2.

ITunes wont open - Quicktime issue

Ive tryed to reinstall itunes at least half a dozen times now and nothing will fix this issue. If i try to open itunes, the process (in task manager) starts but gets to about 38000K then nothing, never opens no matter how long i wait. Im unable to end this process either, so it just sits there taking up memory. Following the advice of someone else in another thread i tryed changing the compatability of quicktime and itunes to windows 2000 and this gave me the error message that "quicktime is required to run itunes" despite the fact that i do have it installed. Reinstalling both itunes and quicktime have no effect on the problem, does anyone have any ideas?

Hello BaconSquishy.
First thing I would do is turn compatibility mode off if you have it on for iTunes and Quicktime. As this will not really fix anything except under rare and special conditions.
Next thing I would do is Basic uninstall in the following order. And installation in the following order. If this does not work proceed to last link below for assistance.
Uninstall the following Apple Applications in the following order.
Launch Control Panel and open Add/Remove Programs or Programs and features if you have Vista.
-Apple Mobile Device Support
-Apple Software Update
-Bonjour
-Windows iPod Updater (Name might be different but look for anything with the word iPod)
-MobileME Control Panel
-Quicktime
-iTunes
*Now reboot the computer
-Download and install Quicktime Standalone. There will be 2 options. Click the Quicktime Standalone
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
-Download and install iTunes once Quicktime is installed
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
*Launch iTunes. Depending on the speed of your machine. Give it 4 min tops to load. Should not take that long. Pay close attention to fire wall alert messages as they might be looking for approval to launch the App.
*If you still can not launch it check the link below

CS6 dyamiclinkmanager.exe and QuickTime issues

First, I'm on a Windows 7 service pack 1 machine, i7-4930k 3.4 GHz with 32 GB RAM. Motherboard is an ASUS P9X79LE. GPU is an Nvidia GTX 770. I just installed QuickTime 7.7.5.
I've recently installed Production Premium CS6. Previously, I was successfully using Production Premium CS5 on the same machine but with a different motherboard and processor: ASUS P6T and i7-960.
Anyway, I installed CS6. Tried to open Premiere, but the program would always hang up when it reached "export quicktime host."
AE would hang up on "Initializing Media Core."
Encore would hang up on "loading importer quicktime."
1. To address the Premiere issue, here's what I tried:
a) As per directions from an Adobe support page, I allowed connections in my firewall for:
AfterFX.exe
Adobe QT32 Server.exe
dynamiclinkmanager.exe
PProHeadless.exe
This had no effect.
b) I then moved the Adobe QT32 Server.exe file from the "32" folder into another folder. Premiere then loaded correctly.
2. Since (b) worked for Premiere, I tried the same technique with the QT32 Server.exe files in the "32" folders in AE and Encore.
Encore now loads properly. BUT after AE loads I get a message saying that QuickTime is not installed on the system. QT is proving problematic. Not only is it not recognized by AE, but I can't open QT. For some reason it seems incompatible with my Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. I changed the compatibility settings for QT to XP Service Pack 2 and the software opened when I clicked on the icon. However, QT is still not recognized by AE.
Note: I found earlier in my investigations that when I ended the dynamiclinkmanager.exe *32 process, each of the programs would open.
So:
Any suggestions as to how to get AE to recognize QT?
Is ending the dynamiclinkmanager.exe process a good idea? Will this disable dynamic link for Premiere and AE?
I'm beginning to pine for my old CS5 days, when everything worked fine. Thanks.

Exporting Movies as Quicktime Issue

I've been having major issues with exporting animations from Flash CS4 as Quicktime movies with and alpha channel. I seem to always get some kind of artifacts showing up. Basically, it looks like chunks of the graphics remain in place for a few frames and then disappear. I am exporting as Animation at 100% quality... and I work on a Mac. Has anyone encountered this issue and found a way to solve it? Please see the attached file for reference.
thanks

One more thing to add: when I move the clip to the correct place in the timeline (in this case it's at 16:20:30;00) the exported clip does not start on the same frame that it was set in the original sequence. I was off by a little over a second so I repositioned it in the original sequence and exported again. The second export had the correct starting frame but the last frame was off by over 3 seconds.
Any ideas?

Myriad Quicktime Issues - QT 7.5 and Mac OS 10.3.9 - RTSP, VLC, etc...

Alright, first I should describe the set-up. I have a Clamshell G3 300 running 10.3.9 on 320MB ram, accessing the INet via Airport. Overall, it runs surprisingly well. However, I've had a devil of a time getting video to load or display on QT 7.5. As I'm sure you are all well aware, an old G3 with a 4mb VRAM card simply isn't going to be competent with Flash. However (and I've used this trick on P3 Windows machines), m.youtube.com uses 240p and 360p 3gp files, which the ibook can handle without problem... when it actually gets them via RTSP. That has been very rare. I've gotten the below difficulties at home (WEP) and at school (unsecured).
The main problem I am having is: when I load a video (and I've tried many dozens of them in both normal and high-definition format) from m.youtube.com and my browser (I've tried this with Opera 10.10, Opera 9.64, Camino 1.6.11 and G3 Optimized Camino 1.6.11, Safari 1.3.2, and Firefox 2.0.20) attempts to open the stream, I get one of several errors. No one error seems to happen any more often than the others, and once in a blue moon, I do actually get the video (or the audio from the video), but that can't be more than 1 in 20, and is usually ONLY the first video loaded in a session. Sometimes, however, the first video does not even load after a reboot.
1. Quicktime says "configuring..." and then says "Bad Request"
2. Quicktime says "connecting..." and then says "Disconnected"
3. Quicktime says "reading media (countdown in s)" and then nothing happens.
4. Quicktime says "reading media (countdown in s)" and then it begins buffering and nothing happens.
5. Quicktime says "reading media (countdown in s)" and then begins buffering and then an approproate timebar starts indicating playback but with no video or sound.
6. Same as #5, except only sound plays.
7. Reloading a video will often times result in the time clicking away with no sound or video.
8. Quicktime says "Buffering (countdown in s)" and then begins playing only audio.
9. Quicktime says "Buffering (countdown in s" and then plays blank media, like in #5-7.
I'm totally perplexed by this behavior. I tried 7.4.1 before this, and 6.5.2 before that, and had some problems, though I didn't stick with either long enough to really test out their relative merits, because I'd prefer to have the most updated and stable version my OS can handle. I even deleted every conceivable QT related file and reinstalled once without any change in the situation.
I'm also having a (potentially) unrelated problem. When I try to play files with VLC 0.8.6(any of the iterations, up through , have been tried), I run into an error message: QT does not support any appropriate chroma. While this issue does not pop up in VLC 0.8.4 (which supports fewer formats), part of me suspects some problem with my QT installation is to blame for this problem. And, yes, I've noticed that my particular error message with VLC is NOT unheard of, but most there blame problematic QT installs or something with QT. Given my extreme rtsp problems, I'm inclined to agree.
Any help would be much appreciated, and sorry for the length - just wanted to be detailed. QTKirk, come and save me!

Thanks for that. That site must have changed how they code and deliver video over the last year, because I was able to stream it on old comps before using VLC and/or QT. However, I installed RealPlayer 10 yesterday (despite the awful memories of RP that most computer users rightfully have) and the site now works flawlessly with pretty decent quality and playback. So, all is well again. And, using an old version of mplayer (the port no longer being developed, from 2004 or 2005) instead of VLC, I'm now able to play 640p horizontal xvids smoothly!
To your last point, I definitely disagree. I have had brand new laptops over the last 5 years, and I'm disavowing them. I'm very utilitarian, and I feel it is wasteful to purchase new laptops when most of the development is in artificially wringing out 20-40% profit margins by dint of planned obsolescence (like Tiger "requiring" firewire for installation, or Snow Leopard making G5s obsolete only 2 years after they were being sold new). I feel like I'm wasting the labor and human cost involved in researching, designing, manufacturing, and promoting top-of-the-line computers. Considering what most users need, computers today are grossly overpowered, and it would have been far more environmentally and socially responsible to develop simpler and more efficient applications for slower hardware than to push consumers into a frenzy that in no way benefits them. Using a G3 optimized port of Camino (and Opera for other tasks), Appleworks 6.2.9, etc..., this 6/7th generation processor is easily capable of handling what 80-90% of users would ever need. The only things that injure it's usefulness are arbitrary and artificial - like docX format and the huge amount of AJAX clutter slowing web access for all parties. Their benefit is anywhere from negligble to non-existent, but their cost is high to consumers.
Put another way: I'm recycling in a very responsible way by keeping this computer alive, and I don't feel like I'm making any real sacrifice by doing so. Win-win!

Quicktime issue

I went to purchase a movie last night on iTunes and was informed I needed to upgrade quicktime. I go through the process and when I restart my computer, iTunes will not open. It says I need to repair or reinstall quicktime. I reinstall it, restart the computer again, and get the same message. I do store iTunes on a seperate hard drive from the laptop and installed it on the hard drive, AND laptop, and still get the same answer. Any suggestions would be helpful since I cannot open iTunes at all now.

Hi,
Try the General installation troubleshooting tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
The steps under *Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer* will likely resolve the issue.

QuickTime issues?

I have two problems on my hands that seem to be related after troubleshooting for months now. These are both post-Mountain Lion Upgrade.
There seems to be some type of issue related to QuickTime. Let me try to explain.
Issue #1 - Screenium capture software - I used previous versions just fine with no problems. Now, with their new version I am unable to export. I reported the precise error to the developer and they responded that it was related to QuickTime and that I should delete anything related to Flip4Mac and Perian as they are know to cause conflicts. I did that and no luck still. Something is still causing the issue and I believe it could be related to #2
Issue #2 - Adobe Bridge - I would use this to preview animation presets and video effects just fine until the OS update. There is a "preview" pane that displays the video. I can press play and the time indicator moves and it thinks it is playing the file preview, but there is no video. And oddly, sometimes it will randomly display a frame of the video while not being played. But I cannot even replicate that.
Upon researching this months ago I came across some documentation indicating the problem is related to QuickTime.
I have....
Reinstalled all Adobe products several times
Reinstalled Screenium
Reinstalled QuickTime several times (but this is just the Player I believe)
Deleted preference files
Repaired disk permissions (there always seems to be a lot, even if I just did it??????????)
So, maybe it is QuickTime, or maybe not. I am hoping someone will be able to help me finish this troubleshooting. Thanks a bunch.

hmm, in your browser type about:plugins and see what's listed for handling .swf ?
Mine shows:

Wierd Pixelation Issue

I have pixelation on my TV. It is coming from FIOS, as it does not appear when we are watching DVD's or Roku. As a matter of fact, it does no happen in FIOS menus, only when watching live TV, recorded programs, or on demand. There is a band, about 1/3 of the way down the screen, 3 inches wide, that extends half way across the screen.
Any ideas what may be causing this? (Sorry the picture is bad) the pixels do change colors, they tend to bbe the oppsosite of what they should be (white when they should be black etc)

Same Exact Problem here. Notice it on HDMI and component outputs when I get it. You do not see it when streaming. Restarting box gets rid of it on mine. I have had it three times in the last 3 weeks. Trying to figure it out myself because I do not want to replace box because I have many, many shows on external hard drive, Through trouble shooting, I am leaning towards external hard drive/esata cable. I do not get it when external drive is disconnected. One thing I am currently testing is a shielded esata cable, being so close to the HDMI cable\port, I do not trust the esata cable I have. Going to swap HDMI cable also. Something messes up the output. I will let you know results.
For people having similar issues and troubleshooting, here is what I am using:
7232 DVR
2gb external drive (Non-WD/Seagate Pipeline)
HDMI primary output
Use Close Caption a lot (Casual font)
If you are getting a similar problem, please post your equipment. I would like to see if any common thread.
Thanks

Wierd DFS Issue

Hello,
I have a weird DFS issue I am having trouble fixing. Currently users at one of our site uses 1 file server which has DFS namespace enabled but is not replicating however if the users map to it via IP or Namespace or UNC they are sometimes able to see the
file and sometimes they just see the DFSRoot folder.
Any idea what could be causing this issue? The files aren't replicating and its the same location.
Thanks

taking back to basics !!
so if users go to \\ServerName\Share, they should always see the files, this is a fixed known quantity.
if that's the case then it sounds more like some kind of AD/DNS issue to me rather than DFS, because using
\\servername\share is nothing todo with DFS. ! if I am correct in what your Saying and that sometime you cannot see the content even with IP or server name.?
Or if its only DFS then :-
do you have multiple folder targets under your DFS namespace, with DFSR replication setup for different Sites.
Could the end users be picking up DFS information from a different DC which hasn't replicated the AD / DFS information correctly ?
forgot to ask is this a standalone namespace or AD integrated ?
have you installed the DFS role on the Actual File Server which has the Data ?
I ask that question because if you create a DFS link with the same name as the share, then potentially there would be two Shares on the same server, (not sure if this is even possible).
one share with the actual Data, one which is the DFS root. perhaps , its totally random, then sometimes it connects to the DFS root share, and sometimes it connects to the actual Folder Share.
normally I would just have a DFS server, a VM, with nothing but the DFS role installed on it.
Then for example my DFS links would point to multiple files servers with Shares.
also some interesting Some from Microsoft stuff to look at :-

Wierd icon issue

hey, new to my macbook pro but by no means new to mac.
never seen this issue in OS X.
In my system pref window the "Universal" icon is wierd looking now. Its a light switch with the actual Universal icon appearing in the bottom corner of this weird box its in.
Probably not clear at all huh?
any way to post a screen shot of it on this forum?

cool, thanks fellas.
I was having a few other minor issues and decided to completely wipe my drive, 7 times, took a LOT longer than 4 hours. Anyway, feels better wiping.

WRT54G wierd connection issue

this problem just started the other day... i am unable to connect to Internet explorer or AIM, it tells me no connection. but the wierd thing is, is i have connection, i can log into Ventrilo, i can play Counter strike Source Online, but World Of Warcraft tells me no connection, so half of my online things work, half dont. I am able to write this post because if i plug the modem directly into computer it works fine, but it doesnt fix all the other computers we have that are wireless.
The router i have is the WRT54G, the modem is SurfBoard SB3100 Cable Modem, internet service is Adelphia (now time warner), not sure if you guys want to know that.
but it seems to be a direct issue witht he router as i can do everything fine normally
oh, and the router is passworded, not sure the correct term, but to get on my wireless you need to enter a set IP and stuff
thanks for any help (i d/led new firmware, havent tryed it yet though) a friend told me that may help

Your friend may be correct. Flash your firmware then reset the router to Factory Default settings, then reconfigure it for your ISP and wireless network. Let us know how that turns out.
