Ok, I don’t know what it is with my OS X install lately after installing OS update 10.5.4 but things seem to be broken left and right. Besides the trash issue in a previous post, Quicktime movies will not play in Safari – but they do play in Firefox. I updated to the latest Quicktime (7.5) and still no go after a restart. After trawling through numerous support forums, this is what worked for me:

1. Navigate to the “/Library/Internet Plug-Ins” folder
2. Delete the “QuickTime Plugin.webplugin” file
3. Restart Safari

Go to http://www.apple.com/trailers to test.

Most likely your Trash folder is not owned by you anymore. To fix:

1. Open Terminal.app, and type in the next 3 commands:
2. sudo chown <your_user_name>:staff ~/.Trash
3. sudo chmod 700 ~/.Trash
4. killall Finder
