John Swanson -------------------------------------------------- QuickTime pop-up ad again. Appearing weekly? Doesn't matter. Time to kill. Here is a recipe to kill ad. Recipe uses Perl. Perl is frightening. Don't like Perl myself, but Perl is what comes with OSX. (Tempted to give a "stupid" for that, but will exercise restraint.) Start up a Terminal window. Type these three lines: cd Library/Preferences cp 'QuickTime Preferences' 'QuickTime Preferences backup' perl -p -e 's/([^k]time\0.......\0\0\0\0)./\1\300/g' < 'QuickTime Preferences backup' > 'QuickTime Preferences' This third line is the critical one. Be sure to enter it as a single line. It's probably wrapped around in your web browser. Be not fooled. You are now done. Run QuickTime Player to check that no pop-up ad appears. If QuickTime seems to be confused, trash the 'QuickTime Preferences' file, and rename 'QuickTime Preferences backup' to 'QuickTime Preferences'. (You can do this in the Finder.) You might want to keep backup file lying around, just in case. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
