Difficulty: Moderate

Step1

Decide which advanced feature needs to be modified. The advanced settings options allow the user to change a variety of things from file format, security and default synthesizers. The user must be aware of all options before they may be used correctly.

Step2

Open the QuickTime player from the docking station or the Applications folder. The normal Mac set up allows for the QuickTime icon to be readily available.

Step3

Select "QuickTime Player," "QuickTime Preferences" and then the "Advanced" tab. Be sure to select the correct preferences option as there are two.

Step4

Choose from the advanced options available. In order to use the default synthesizer option, there has to be more than one synthesizer loaded on the computer. Transport set up is for users who need to set up a customized firewall configuration. This will more than likely be done with the help of a system administrator. "Enable kiosk" mode allows the user to manipulate movie settings. MIME settings determine the format in which QuickTime movies are viewable and Media Keys are used when viewing media with security settings. The settings should be given to the user whenever this type of movie is viewed.
