In older versions you have an option with in QuickTime's preference pane to automatically play videos at first opening, but as of QuickTime X the option no-longer exists This next trick only works in Snow Leopard in where the new QuickTime X app is found. To run this trick open Terminal. This is found in Applications > Utilities. With in Terminal type the following. defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX MGPlayMovieOnOpen 1 This will turn the autoplay option on. Now restart your QuickTime Player, if it is open. Now when you play a video you should see that the movie plays on open. If you want to reverse the process repeat the prosses but this time you want to replace the 1 with a 0 Although we all hope that Apple adds this option back to QuickTime X's preference pane in an future update but who knows it is Apple after all. And that going to do it for this episode of Mac Tip Podcast I hope you enjoyed it.
