quicktime Hi there ! BEfore automatically downloading was going to Quicktime, suddenly goes to Realplayer Can anybody explain and how to go back to QT ? Thanks & ciao from Italy Ferruccio |
(please don't cross-post) Go into your QuickTime settings and reset them to make QuickTime the default. Reinstaslling quicktime should also work. |
Well, I don't get it...this happened to me yesterday too...so I dumped ALL realplayer stuff in trash...tried an upload again, and still got realplayer doc. instead of Quicktime...does thiis not mean that Limewire has something to do with it?? |
Which OS are you using? The Finder decides what app each file maps to. The File Exchange and QuickTime Control Panels also contains many of the mappings. Looks like RealPlayer likes to set itself as the default, so look also for any RealPlayer prefs to trash. You can also rebuild the desktop.db file by holding down the command and option keys just before the hard disk loads onto the desktop. |
Quicktime/Limewire I am new to Mac, which Realplayer pref should be trashed, are they not necessary ? Sorry but I am confused ! Ciao Ferruccio |
Prefs are re-created if they are missing, so no, they aren't essential. They just save optional settings. Usually whenever an application is giving problems in OS 9 and earlier, trashing the pref for the problem application was the first and easiest troubleshooting step. It used to be a good idea to regularly look inside the Preferences Folder (inside the System Folder) to keep an eye on what is happening there anyway. There are at least three Control Panels that "map" which application opens a file Apple Menu->Control Panels->QuickTime™ Settings (Browser Plug-In->Mime Settings) or (QuickTime Exchange->Checkbox->Enable) Internet (Edit Sets->Advanced ) File Exchange (Scroll through the list) |
:D Got it!!! Thanks Stief for your help!! I'd forgotten about the file exchange feature...Hope you get it loveferro.... |
Quicktime/Limewire I know that it can sound stupid, but do I have to trash something and what, sorry is not clear what I have to do to bring back QT Thanks for your clarification Ferruccio |
