I also installed Perian, all working again now 🙂 although I've started using VLC.

And I concur for the Coverflow controls on iTunes, they used to be so blurry! Nice and crisp now.
 
ok - so why exactly I cannot play certain movies? Im getting beachball and then nothing is happening or the playback is very "choppy". Any ideas how to fix it? Maybe I should just install VLC? (I have Perian already - should I "reinstall" it?)

Perian was recently updated to version 1.0. Is this the version you've got installed? I'd wager it's not.
 
Installing Perian 1.0 seems to fix the .avi problem. Strange, I was sure I had perian installed anyway, seems like I was wrong.

It would be nice to have iTunes put the sorting back to normal as well, i'm sick of having all the bands that start with a number down the bottom.
 
Flash problem!

Guys, need help! 😕
After installation of QT 7.2, Flash is not working in any browser 😱 , installed Macromedia flash player 9, flash started working, but .flv movies from Youtube did not, they just show the buffering... circle and don't play.
Very interesting, but after restart all flash disappeared again 🙁 till I reinstall Flash player! I am on the Mac Book Pro, 10.4.10 Mac OS
.avi files work fine and mpeg-4 also, even that with sound problem played perfectly. I have perian 1.0 and QT Pro upgraded.
 
I would say one of the key reasons for this update would be to help stop the hacking on the iPhone Activation. I am sure AT&T is not happy with the fact that these phones can be hacked in such a manner.

Not trying to be an apologist, but what video formats should Apple really support? There is no standard, just a hodgepodge of WMV and pirated DivX. MPEG and Quicktime support is just as valid decision as the rest, and it doesn't cost Apple extra money for licenses.

(And yes, I think we're mixing "formats" with "codecs", but we all know what we mean).

The closest thing we have to a standard Codec is the H.264 codec. As far as formats, Apple supports the necessary ones.
 
Do you have any suggestions, guys
It happens again and again, it is impossible to browse the net without Flash and I am missing Youtube!
I checked the plug-ins and flash is there.
Everything looks fine, I also tried to change the settings in QT, nothing worked.
Is there someone who has Youtube playback problem except me?
Advice me something, guys...

One day I'll notice an update and post this a bit earlier, but...

For anyone having trouble with the well-known "OMG, (insert update name here) hosed my Mac" syndrome, I have a question. Do you (a) just let your Mac sit there while it downloads and runs the update, or do you (b) carry on working?

If you answered (b) then you need to visit Unsanity's blog, here and read their analysis.

Definitely worth a read. I had long ago developed a "superstitious" fear of doing anything else while my mac updates itself but this article justifies and explains that fear. Apparently, there's a 100% reproducible bug on the prebinding (optimisation) that can render your mac unbootable. It's OK to carry on working while your Mac downloads an update and it's OK to carry on working while your installs it but, while optimisation is running, do not touch anything.

Effectively, this means that it's best to go and make a cup of tea while software update works its magic.

I believe I was a victim of this very bug! My computer started up fine after installation. But some how after a few restarts, I got the loading icon, it kept going for longer than usual so i hit the power button. Then upon the next restart it went to the blue screen with the loading icon, and then for the first time ever that i've seen, the screen went black and white text start popping up saying I had some errors and please enter login. It was really weired. So I tried running disk repair off my CD but it couldn't read the drive. I kept doing this for several hours until finally I physically selected what drive I wanted to boot from holding Option key.

Anyways to make a long story short, I was able to repair my disk using disk utility and i hope this doesn't happen again.

Any got similar situation?

Shazzam! That was what I primarily used VLC for in the past. Still has it's uses, but it may just go into semi-retirement.

What about the "Float on top" window property that VLC offers? I've long advocated for this feature to be part of both QuickTime player and iTunes. And if they were really cool, they'd allow such a floating window to have transparency like other extensions offer.
 
Hmm.. I just did the update and now I can't start any of my Microsoft Office 2004 applications nor RDC

Anybody else get this problem?
 
not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but when I opened iTunes back up after the update I noticed that all of my artists that are a # (IE: 311, 3 Doors Down) are all now at the end of the iTunes artist sort rather than being at the top, before the A's like it used to be.

anyone know of a way to change this back? is there anything like how you can either view you contacts in address book for first, last or last, first? just wondering.

OK, what is the 'browse' issue?
Click to expand...


I listen to my music by first selecting the 'Genre' then the 'Artist' and then the 'Album' in the 'Browse window'.

This has been fine until the 7.0 update, but now if a leave the 'Main Library' window - say to update my Podcasts or to visit the iTunes Store, the 'Artist' and 'Album' sections are no longer selected.

It's not the end of the world, but it is annoying.

You don't consider MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 to be standards?
Click to expand...

I'm not sure what you're asking? Are there problems with QuickTimes MPEG-! and MPEG-2 support (not a rhetorical question, I'm just not aware of any)?

I would still say that H.264 and MPEG-4 are closer to a universal standard than anything we've had before.

Niceness! You no longer need QT Pro for full screen. We already knew this would be unlocked in Leopard but it's nice to know Tiger has this feature as well. This has been long overdue.

Now that's THE understatement of the last 20 years....

With some people referring to Rosetta bugs due this update, I'm thinking that I should wait a bit before I do this update.

Oh thank god. Full screen QT playback without the need for pro.. wow I never thought it would happen🙂

Indeed. Hell hath frozen over twice now.

*It only makes sense though because iTunes has had fullscreen viewing for a while now. I was wondering when Apple was going to allow it in Quicktime.
 
Microsoft's Remote Desktop broken

I just installed these updates and now Microsoft's Remote Desktop client doesn't work anymore. Can anyone confirm this?
