I used QuickTime's screen recorder to record a 23 minute video of a section of my Macbook screen and it uploaded my video to 360p as the highest selectable quality on YouTube. How can I change the quality it uses?

QuickTime alone won't capture computer audio along with a screen capture, but combined with a free utility Soundflower, you can do this.
MacWorld has a step-by-step guide, but the basic idea is to install Soundflower and set your computer audio out to Soundflower, so system sounds play to it and not to the speakers. Then in QuickTime, when you set up a new screen capture, select Soundflower as the audio source. Then you can do a screen recording and capture system audio at the same time.
Note that this is the free but messy version. Software like Screenflow does this sort of thing very well, but costs $99.
Try the following:
- Turn off computer
- Reboot Mac into Recovery (press and hold Command+R when you hear the chimes until a screen loads)
- Select "Disk Utility"
- Select your "Macintosh HD" volume on the left and press "Repair Disk Permissions"
- Once that has finished, reboot your computer
If this doesn't work, call Apple Support

Although QuickTime does give you the option in File > Export to export as 720p, it was just a matter of waiting another 20 minutes for the video to be upgraded to 720p.
