.m4v default media player
Posted by: "Dave" dsherlock.geo@yahoo.com dsherlock.geo
Tue Feb 28, 2012 10:05 am (PST)
A question about preferences. I have a MBP with OSX 10.7.3 with VMware Fusion 4.1.1.
I find that file type .m4v have a default player of Windows Media Player.
I have been unable to determine how to change that to the OSX Quick Time Player.
I would appreciate some help with getting the default player changed.
Regards, Dave

Control-click (right-click) on one of your .m4v files and select Get Info from the contextual menu.
In the Info box that appears, the category Open With will be visible roughly in the middle of the box. In the Open With drop-down menu, select QuickTime Player. Click on the Change All button below the drop-down menu. A confirmation dialog box should appear. Confirm the change.

Apple Stock Today
Posted by: "Denver dan" denver.dan@verizon.net denverdan22180
Tue Feb 28, 2012 11:18 am (PST)
Today Apple shares in NASDAQ hit $534.62 USD / share and the market cap $497.1 billion.
A market cap of half a trillion is a bit unnerving.
A recent analyst called Apple an entire market "segment" by itself.

As I type, the market cap is $498.3 billion, or 21% higher than that of Exxon-Mobil!

Preview problems
Posted by: "Jeannie" nikonjeannie@gmail.com chloe898
Tue Feb 28, 2012 12:47 pm (PST)
I have been looking through thousands of photos, all in their own folders,
with the date and the place on it. A friend said that I could see them all
by using Preview. This happened because , as a former PC user, I told her
it was easier for me to go into folders in the windows OS.
The first 2 folders , preview worked beautifully, with a sidebar on the
right side which I could navigate by up and down arrows, and even right
click to send an image to the trash..then in the third folder the side bar
disappeared. The next thing that happened was my second screen went black,
and the main monitor showed only lone photo. It was quite dramatic and
beautiful, but not very conducive to going through thousands of photos. The
tool bar also disappeared. At that point, the beach ball appeared, and a
series of banging sounds happened. I looked all over on line, in my books
etc, but no fix, and I could only get out of it by CMD Q.
At that point, I decided to call apple care. Whist I was on hold , I found
I could get the tool bar to reappear, if I put the curser up top, although
it wouldn't stay. Every person , I spoke to at Apple had no answer, would
be gone for a while to look things up , and then transferred me to
another "expert". Finally after more than one hour of getting nowhere, I
asked them to just email me anything they had, and I would try to figure it
out myself. The last person, as were the others, was very kind, but nothing
he sent me was of any value. He also told me to call him back at his
private number, or email him if I had any further problems
I finally remembered that I had a free Nikon program, view NX , with which
I could go through folders quickly , and with large thumbnails.
So as of right now, every time I click on an image in a folder, I still get
that black treatment, and have to do a cmd q to get out of it , but I am
happily using Nikon View NX to go through my gazillion images.
I have come to the conclusion that if I have a problem with apple programs,
those geniuses are not too swift. Thank heavens they are pretty darn good
when it comes to repair of hard ware. I guess they are only good for
vanilla problems, One they have scripts for.

You inadvertently clicked on the diagonal double-arrow in the upper right hand corner of the Preview application, thereby putting it into full-screen mode.
While in Preview, move the cursor to the top of the screen to cause the menus to reappear, then over to the right end of the menus, and click agin on the digonal double-arrow.
It will return to normal mode.

Your welcome!
I'm somewhat surprised Apple help did not pick this up from the description.

Howdy.
Jeannie, Preview will open a folder of pix as you've discovered.
Preview.
But it does a bunch of other things including a Slideshow that frames
the current image on a black background.
Whether the Slideshow command is available depends on the View option
you have selected for a group of images you've opened in Preview.
These view options are available as 4 icons on the Preview Toolbar to
the left of the search box, or, on the View menu, or as keyboard
commands Option Command 1, or 2, or 3, or 4.
View 1 is: Content Only
View 2 is: Thumbnails
View 3 is: Table of Contents
View 4 is: Contact Sheet
QuickLook.
But in addition to using Preview do you use QuickLook to view an entire
folder, or several folders of files?
Open a folder of images in Finder and then select the first image and
press Spacebar. To go through all the images use up and down arrows.
Press Spacebar again to turn QuickLook off. QuickLook works in other
situations also.
New Folder With Selection.
It's also helpful when dealing with large numbers of files or images to
be able to group them rapidly into a new folder. In Lion you can do
this by selecting each file or image, select either a contiguous group
or using the Command key to select non contiguous files, and then with
them selected do a right click on one of them and pick the New Folder
With Selection command from the contextual popup menu that appears.
ZAP! and a new folder is names and all the files moved into it while
that new folder remains selected so you just have to start typing to
give it a new name.

I think I should have just written to the group, and saved me and Hour and
a half. I really appreciate this group. I joined it about 6 months before I
got my Mac Pro, and I have learned so much from all of you.
Big thanks again.

That sounded wonderful to me, so I tried it in my fully-updated copy of Lion running in VMWare Fusion. I do not get the "New folder with selection" option. Could you be running some third-party utility to give you that option?

Hi, Daly,
I had to try that. It worked for me. That's slick! Create a couple of folders on your desktop. Select both of them and do a ctl click. The top selection in the drop down menu is "New Folder with Selection."

Hi, John,
> I had to try that. It worked for me. That's slick! Create a couple of folders on your desktop. Select both of them and do a ctl click. The top selection in the drop down menu is "New Folder with Selection."
Okay, I tried again, and did what you said. It did work with icons of documents on the Desktop, which is neat.
It also worked with files and folders inside my iTunes folder.
It did not work with a selection of application icons in the Applications folder.
It did not work with a selection of pictures in my Pictures folder. However, when I copied those pictures to the Desktop, it did work with them there.
It did not work with a selection consisting of folders inside the pictures folder. But when I copied those folders to the Desktop, it did work on them there.
Also, when I copied three applications to the Desktop, it did work with them on the Desktop. It just didn't work when the same applications were inside the Applications folder. I made my own folder inside the Applications folder, and copied the 3 apps back into that folder I had made. Then I was able to use this trick on them while they were inside my custom folder.
Then I found that if I made a custom folder in my Pictures folder and put folders of pictures into the folder I had created, I could make groups of the folders and also of the pictures inside those folders.
So I am tentatively concluding that this trick mostly does not work inside the folders created by the system (though it did work inside my Music folder, for some reason).
Anyway else have an insights about this?
