G4 Powerbook. OS 10.3.9. Quicktime Pro 7.5
I'd been running Quicktime 7 for years on my Powerbook. I upgraded to Quicktime Pro last January. I stopped updating QT at 7.3 (don't remember whether it was before or after going to Pro.)
A while ago, I noticed that the "File->New Player" command doesn't work - choosing it from the menu or typing cmd-N does not open a new player: the menu item flashes but nothing happens, and no error msg or anything.
"New video recording" and "New audio recording" commands do work.
I'm not sure that I ever specifically chose "New Player" until a few weeks ago, so I don't know when it stopped working.
This isn't a big problem per se except that a script I use for iTunes no longer works either (Join Together from Doug's Applescripts for iTunes). "Join Together" used to work with QT even before I upgraded to QT Pro and also with QT Pro. Now it quits just at the point where it would be trying to create a new player.
Hoping to fix the problem, I updated Quicktime to 7.3.1 and then to 7.5 but to no avail.
Is this a problem with the Quicktime app itself, QT libraries, or with the OS?
I can't think of what else could have changed on my system to make "New Player" stop working.
I'd even try uninstalling Quicktime and re-installing, but I can't find instructions on how to do this. (How can I uninstall QT anyway?)
I've searched for information about this problem on Google and otehr forums, but haven't found anything similar.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
