Windows will not show Keynote "Quicktime"

One of my main reasons for getting iWork 08 was Keynote. I was even happier when I found out it would export to Quicktime. So I sorted a powerpoint out and Keynoted it. All went well. I even guessed some things it should do - and it did!
Export to QT and all was well.
Then it came to playing it at work. "Quicktime needs a component that is not available on the server" or something. That's it. A fail at the first hurdle. I can't install software on the work PC and it's running QT 6.5.???? The update says it's fuly up to date. So why didn't it work?
Is there a version of QT that runs off a USB drive (thumb or "proper")?
I tried VLC but it justs runs straight through with no pauses.
I need to get it working. Not that Powerpoint will not do something like it. It just won't look as good!
Thanks

There's a site which will convert videos without having to download software to do it...
http://zamzar.com
...you could try converting from .mov to .wmv (Although I don't know whether it will also run straight through with no pauses.)
An alternative to a USB drive is to put your .mov file on an iPod and connect it to a projector or TV...

  • File Browser, properties, library window will not show up

    I'm using an old version of Motion 3 and my File Browser, properties, library window will not show up even when I click on the icons and/or press command+2,3, or 4 . Seems to be some kind of settings glitch as Motion works fine when logged in under another user. Any thoughts.

    schlickler,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    but now I have the preferences folder on my desktop--does that have to stay there?
    No, it can be trashed.
    Plist files contain instructions for recording and executing tasks associated with the the application or function that owns them. They can and do become corrupted. If you look in the username/Library/Preferences Folder you can usually guess what application or function the .plist serves by analyzing the file name. In this case it was the com.apple.iCal.plist file.
    Proper identification of the appropriate .plist file is not always so obvious. When an application malfunctions, removing the associated .plist file from the preferences folder to the Desktop is often the easiest first troubleshooting step. Then log out/in or restart and re-evaluate the performance of the application.
    A new default .plist file is automatically created in your Preferences Folder after you remove the recalcitrant .plist and initiate the log out/in restart sequence. You can expect default application behavior and you will have to reset some preferences. If the application or function returns to normal after removing the .plist file, it will prove that the original file was corrupt, and you can now safely trash the .plist file which you placed on the Desktop.
    If the application or function is unsatisfactory with the new plist file, the original plist file which was placed on the Desktop can be safely returned to the preferences folder. Just allow the system to replace the newer plist.
    If you are having problems with any aspect of OS X, experiment with deleting the appropriate .plist file. Plist corruption is not uncommon and .plist file deletion often cures many problems. Too many users try intricate solutions first and end up complicating their minor problem.

  • Print Window will not show - freezes whole application

    I have a mac mini running tiger which will not print in ANY application. When I click file>print, the print window will not come out and the application freezes, and I have to force quit it. This happens in every application when I try to print.
    Other macs connected to the same printer will print successfully, but the mac mini will not. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

    Great news!
    but I skipped the last step (repair permissions after booting from the HD), because I did that step when I booted from the CD's disc utility
    Well, DU picks up what the Permissions are from the Disk it's booted from, so though doing it from the Install DVD might get most right, it really needs to be done from the HD.
    PS. Depending on the version of 10.4 on the Install Disk, it MAY read them from the HD's Library>Receipts>PKGs, but it's never been cleared up as to what version that might be.
    Might let us know if some Permissions were changed if you decide to do it from the HD.

  • IDVD Window Will Not Show

    I have 2 monitors hooked up to my laptop and I when I try to Create a New Project or Open Existing Project in iDVD, I can not see any windows. There is music from the files playing but I can not see any windows. I've tried disconnected the external monitors and that didn't work. I can open up MagicDVD just fine as well. How can I get my windows to show back up?

    The first things to try are to delete preferences and do a permissions repair.
    To delete preferences, close iDVD and trash the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. iDVD will create a new .plist file on relaunch.
    To repair permissions, use the Disk Utility app found in the Utilities folder on your Mac. Do this before relaunching iDVD.
    Then restart your computer and launch iDVD.

  • I am running firefox beta, suddenly i am unable to see anything except the top menu . I am unable to reset default as the window will not show.

    I can see the bookmarks menu and when i select a site it show that it is going there but , still , there is no window and I can see nothing.

    You will most likely need to run a clean reinstall of Firefox.

    Sorry for any inconvenience.
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>

  • Items in Finder window will not show alphabetically while in columns view

    I am running a Mac Pro Yosemite 10.10.1
    a couple of weeks ago I had some kind of glitch since then it takes a long time to save items having a continuous spinning beach ball.
    Also in the Finder window items will no longer listed alphabetically while in columns view  they list fine in the other views.
    Is there an easy way to fix or  could I fix it by reinstalling the operating system?

    Hi tundrabob,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like Finder takes a while to save and you need to sort a window. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
    This article may help the spinning beach ball.

  • Preview window in premiere 10 will not show view video images

    My Premiere 10 preview window will not show video images. There has been some on-line discussion that nVidia GeForce video card automatic updates is the problem and it has been suggested that I roll back to a previous card however the rollback button does not light up and can not be activated. Also I'm not sure that I'm using the correct settings for the preview window, what are the default settings?

    I recommend that you try your question in premeire forum, so you have a better chance of getting an answer.

  • Keynote 08 will NOT export to Quicktime

    I think it is ever since I installed Leopard or Keynote 08 that my Keynote recordings will not export to Quicktime. During 2007 I made many Quicktime movies using Keynote all of which exported successfully.
    When I click on "Export" the function commences. The movie will then play in a Quicktime window with my voice over recording which I made in Keynote, but it will NOT save as a Quicktime movie that can be used elsewhere.
    Does anyone have a workable answer to this issue.
    Thanks

    The other work around that I've found is to tell it "send to iDVD" but then quit iDVD when it pops that up. You'll end up with just the quicktime file it created.
    What I noticed is that when a "quicktime export" plays in QT, it has a fps rate of like 7 or 8 or even 13 but the dynamic "playing fps" goes up to 30 during transitions and back to 0 when there isn't a transition. At least with the iDVD cheat you end up with 24 fps. That may work for some people, that is film rate, but I'm in need of NTSC DV 29.97. So I import it into Final Cut Express, and do an export conversion.
    I don't use audio, so I don't know how that would work in this cheat, but since your voiceover (I'm guessing based on trying to put music to my slides) is one entire track, you can add that in FCE before that export and line it up there.
    If anyone else has suggestions to get a 29.97 export correct with the "export to quicktime", I'd love to hear it. This cheat takes too long for my work.

  • I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

    I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
    Can this be done
    Thanks for any and all help

    The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
    The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
    While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
    Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
    If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.

  • IPod Touch will not show up in Windows XP after iTunes 10.2.1 update

    After updating iTunes to 10.2.1 my 4G Touch will not show up in Windows XP to charge or to sync. I have been reading this forum and following the multiple Apple help and troubleshooting steps with no luck. I can get Windows to recognize and charge the Touch as a camera but it will not update the driver for Apple Mobile Device. I have come to the conclusion it is an Apple software problem. Does anyone know where I can get the previous Apple Mobile Device driver for Windows XP? I would like to give that a try. It's really disappointing....

    Upon uninstalling and re-installing all of the Apple software nothing has changed. I can see Apple Mobile Device Support in add/remove programs but when clicking on "repair" it cannot finish and says it encountered a fatal error and no changes have been made.
    The error I get trying to install the driver in Device Manager says "I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request".
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
