Quicktime Player 10.5 Mac

On Tuesday night, Apple released an update for its QuickTime multimedia application. Version 7.6.9 is available for users running Windows XP SP2 or later and Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) – users running the latest version (10.6) of Mac OS X (Snow Leopard) are reportedly not affected. According to Apple, the latest update fixes a total of 15 security vulnerabilities.

The company says that 14 of the bugs can be used by attackers to crash QuickTime and possibly lead to the execution of malicious code on a victim's system. Two of the bugs are present in the Windows version of QuickTime only, one of which allows privilege escalation.

Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5) is the sixth major release of macOS, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. Leopard was released on October 26, 2007 as the successor of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and is available in two editions: a desktop version suitable for personal computers, and a server version, Mac OS X Server.It retailed for $129 for the desktop version and $499. Aug 04, 2011 Download the latest version of QuickTime Player for Mac - For Mac OS X 10.6.3 through 10.12. Read 169 user reviews of QuickTime Player on MacUpdate. Mar 23, 2019 The QuickTime X Player uses AVKit, a completely separate 64-bit framework of APIs from the old 32-bit QuickTime framework, which has its roots in Classic Mac OS. “QuickTime Player Pro” is just a paid-for set of extra features in the old QT7 app.

Feb 16, 2016 QuickTime X was introduced with Snow Leopard and there was no version of QuickTime 8 or 9 that every saw the light of day, this means you’re running QTX on your current Mac. QuickTime 10.4 in El Capitan does have speed of playback controls (up to 32X) using the l key. Tap the l key and playback speed will double. Tap it again and it goes to 4X.

The vulnerabilities fixed in QuickTime 7.6.9 include bugs affecting the way JP2 and Flashpix images, AVI files and other film formats, are handled. In view of the number of arbitrary code execution issues, an immediate update is advisable. According to Apple, these problems have already been fixed (by the last update) under Mac OS X 10.6.5.

QuickTime 7.6.9 for Windows is available to download from Apple's web site. Mac OS X Leopard users can upgrade to the latest release via the built-in Software Update function. All users are advised to upgrade to the latest release as soon as possible.

Okay, so how can I apply the same hack to Preview? Obvious reasons to do so, of course.

Stop Quicktime from displaying recently played items list

Hello,
For Apple's Preview app, launch Preview, go to preferences, make sure the preferences are the way you *want* them to be. Then simply lock ~/Library/com.apple.Preview.plist. Now when you launch Preview and open your images, they will appear in the recent menu list, but when you relaunch the app they will be gone.
If you want to change any of the preferences, you will need to unlock the file.

now now! it could also be for illegal mp3's... (although u should use iTunes for those)...

Regardless of your reasons for not wanting QT (or any other app) to show your recently opened items, lest you forget that the Open dialog of any app will default back to the directory that contains your most recently opened item. So, don't forget to open another file from another directory before quitting the app.
In case you have DefaultFolder installed, it will even highlight the most recently opened file in the Open dialog.

Apparently Quicktime 6.4 breaks this hint.
Quicktime kept crashing whenever I had it play a movie. It would launch fine but any time I tried to get it to play a movie if would crash. I tried to repair permissions but that didn't help. I finally fixed it by going to the file ~/Library/Preferences/QuickTimeFavorites and returning it to its pre-hint condition.
I think this hint also contributed to my first OmniWeb crash in a while. It happened right after I tried to use OmniWeb to view one of the new iPod commercials, OmniWeb locked up and slowed the Mac OS X user interface to a crawl, but I was finally able to force quit out of it.

My QT 6.4 crashed on launch after this hint even after a Pantehr 10.3.1 upgrade.
I found if I simply deletd the QuicktimeFavorites file form the Library folder it is now functional again.

Like the previous poster meant by 'returning the file to its pre-hint condition,' simply unlocking the 'QuickTimeFavorites' file solves the problem.
It is quite unfortunate that there _still_ seems to be no option to turn off the recent items list. Shouldn't it be mandatory for any app that offers it to also offer a way to turn it off?

Being frustrated with the old tip not working I played around and bingo...
1. Create a file called 'QuickTimeFavorites', I used TextEdit.
2. Remove the invisible .xxx , for TextEdit it would be the .rtf
3. Place in User/Library/Preferences
No more Recently Played Items.
