I had an earlier version of QT preloaded on this new machine. A lot of sites I was visiting, QT would give me the "?". I updated to QT 7.2 but began having crappy playback, a conflict with Flash and a few sites still gave me the "?".
The fix for me was: System Preferences -> QuickTime -> Advanced -> MIME Type -> Miscellaneous -> then "UNCHECK" Flash Media -> Click ok Once back on the advanced page saw that "Enable Flash" (Enables playback of Adobe Flash Tracks) was "UNCHECKED" as well. Then using the drop down menu for "Transport" I chose "Custom" and experimented until I got a setting that gave me the best result. Then I tweaked the Streaming settings until I had a real nice test here: <http://www.apple.com/quicktime/troubleshooting/> But Flash was still giving me problems, so made sure I was using the latest version of that too and I updated to 9,0,47,0 (you can check yours here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/>) and then read about the settings manager located here: <http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.html> Heelp is here: <http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/index.html> And the answer to one of my biggest puzzles was solved here: <http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=4c68e546&sliceId=1> "...A local shared object, sometimes referred to as a "Flash cookie," is a small data file that can be created on your computer by the websites that you visit. Shared objects are most often used to enhance your web-browsing experience, for example, by allowing you to personalize the look and feel of a website that you frequently visit. Shared objects, by themselves, can't do anything to or with the data on your computer. More important, shared objects can never access or remember your e-mail address or other personal information?unless you willingly provide such information. A third-party local shared object, sometimes referred to as a "third-party Flash cookie," is a shared object created by third-party content, or content that is not actually located on the site you are currently viewing. Third-party local shared objects may be important for privacy discussions because they can be used to track your preferences or your website usage across different websites that you visit...." more:<http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/security/> When I went to the settings before I deleted or changed anything I had maybe a hundred )or more) of these Flash Cookies listed. Most I recognized (Yahoo, Blip) but far too many that I did not. I don't mind some stuff that makes browsing easy, but not that keen on this extra step. iTunes Just one of those things. I was looking for an answer for my own unrelated woes. Specifically updates and versions that change or do not function as expected. This looked interesting enough to pass along. Apple <http://www.macintouch.com/index.shtml> "...Apple has already revised its new version of iTunes, posting a iTunes 7.4.1 release without documenting what changed from Version 7.4. MacInTouch reader Mark Booth, however, apparently has the answer: [Mark Booth] A fellow over at MacRumors Forum discovered how to easily use your own ringtones with an iPhone using iTunes 7.4. (You just change the extension on ANY AAC file to .m4R and then drag the file to the iTunes library. It is then available to sync with the iPhone via the Ringtone tab.) Apple's 7.4.1 release kills this ability. (However, I think someone else has come up with another hack for 7.4.1 already.) Got to hand it to Apple... they slammed the door on the easy hack VERY quickly. I don't think I've ever seen them release an update like that so fast!..." --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, eric gunnar rochow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi all, a follow up to Waz's post that i have since lost. if anyone > wants the apple iTunes - apple TV setting that Waz sent me, send me > an email.
