Error -2048 when wanting to watch September Webcast

Ey guys.
Whenever I want to watch the Setpember release of the apple webcast (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/showtime06/), I recive the following error: "Error -2048. The file is not a movie file". I assume that this is a problem at my end because people I know can access it fine.
I have tried with Firefox 1.5 and IE 6.0, QT Pro and then unistalling to QT Basic.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
AMD 64 3500+   Windows XP   1 Gig RAM, 6600GT

I get the same error message as craigsman when I try to open a movie file on Windows Quicktime Pro 7.0.4. that I created with GarageBand.
As I can play the same file on Mac mini with Quicktime Player 7.1.3 without any problem I guess it's a software issue.
Note that Windows Quicktime Pro 7.0.4. opens other files than those created with GarageBand without any problem and even the http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/showtime06/

  • Error 3001 when trying to watch a rented movie

    I've rented my first movie off iTunes Movie Rentals (Fantastic 4 - Silver Surfer). The file downloaded fine, but at the end of the download it shows error 3001 (There was a problem, etc.) but gives no specifics.
    I tried it on my MacBook Pro and my girlfriend's Dell, both running the latest version of iTunes, but I get the same error when trying to play the movie, or when I click "Resume Download" (although it looks like the movie had downloaded already).
    Any tips on how to fix this? I was looking forward to watching this with her tonight.
    Not a good first-time experience with this rental thing I must say

    I am getting the same error ("3001") when downloading - not watching. At first I was getting err = 8008. 8008 would happen about 1/3 through the download process. Download would freeze, and issue iTunes would alert an err = 8008. After contacting Apple, they claim to have reloaded the movie and instructed me to try again by:
    1. Delete my /User/iTunes/Music/Download folder
    2. Check for Downloads
    After several attempts, the download process finally proceeded past the original freeze point. Download is now 99.9% complete, but now crashes and issues a pop-up alert "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (3001). There was an unknown error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
    1.6G of 1.7G has downloaded. When I try to "play" the existing file, I am presented with another 3001 error pop-up.
    Grrr....

  • Error (-12894) when trying to watch a rented movie

    Rented catching fire on ipad to stream to Apple TV, since appletv was being stupid asking me to keep verifying my payment info. Downloaded and processed, and when I click watch the iTunes Store app either crashes or gives me the unknown error with that number. I was charged for the movie. Fun stuff.

    I'm having the same problem...

  • SecurityError: Error #2048 when using special characters in request url

    Hi all,
    I'm facing a really strange problem with requesting address data from a in-house developed address webservice that can be accessed using a HTTPS connection.
    The problem is that I get the following error when a request has been made with special characters in the url:
    SecurityError: Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: http://www.foo.com/myapp.swf cannot load data from
    https://www.bar.com/myservice.svc/Aleja Legionów ul., BYTOM.
    The url is encoded using encodeURIComponent. Fiddler show's a correctly encoded url:
    https://www.bar.com/myservice.svc/address/Aleja%20Legion%C3%B3w%20ul.%2C%20BYTOM
    The server send a normal response back.
    The weird thing is that this only happens on FireFox with special characters in the url. With normal characters, it works fine.
    On IE everything works fine..
    crossdomain.xml of the www.foo.com:
    <cross-domain-policy>
    <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
    <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" secure="false"/>
    <allow-access-from domain="*" headers="*" secure="false"/>
    </cross-domain-policy>
    Any help is appreciated.

    You could try downloading the Oracle 8.1.7 client and the latest
    Oracle8 ODBC driver, install them on your machine, and verify
    that the failure goes away. That's obviously the acid test.
    I can tell you that when I worked in the ODBC driver group we
    did identify and fix some bugs where our parser wasn't skipping
    string literals. If this particular bug wasn't fixed earlier,
    it almost certainly was then (I'm guessing that work was done 12-
    18 months ago).

  • Error 404 when trying to watch Macworld's Keynote 2009

    Hi guys,
    I was trying to watch the '09 Keynote Address from Apple's site on both IE and Safari. On IE, I can enter the site (http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0901ouabdcaw/event/index.html) but right after it goes to a page not found (http 404 error).
    When accessing via Safari, I can enter to the page, Quicktime opens but then, a message of "Bad Request" appears.
    Any thoughts on how to solve this?
    Regards,

    Ditto for me... Unsupported media type trying to view standard keynote on mac 10.4.11 with QT Pro v7.5.5 and the HD version is super choppy, broken up as mentioned before.. constantly stops, real bad.. and I have a fast internet connection, so speed isnt issue there... tried IE, Firefox, Safari, all same problem.
    Yet COULD watch the standard version or HD version keynote on a PC on same internet connection with QT (non-pro)7.5.5 (win XP 32 bit Home)
    So hope the solution to this is not buy a PC and not use Pro QT... haha but seems to be the solution for me.

  • Quicktime error -2048 when i try to open a video

    hello, i have a bunch of different types of videos that i downloaded from limewire. in order for me to put those on my ipod, i need to open quicktime and go to file> open file and when i do that, i click one of my videos that are MPEG or MPG i try to open it but a little sign pops up and says
    error -2048: the file is not a movie file how can i turn my video files into movie files? then how do i put them on my ipod after that? please help me

    download VLC media player, it should be able to play files that quicktime cannot and with more fetures than quicktime pro for FREE (beleve it or not)!
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/vlcmediaplayer.html
    you mentioned these files were downloaded from limewire, it is possible that they are simply currupt, limewire files (especially when they are not completely finished downloading) may not open. When they are 100% complete they may play no problem even if you are getting -2048 when they are downloading.

  • HT4609 error -2048  when it doesn't play MP4 file

    I thought itunes would play MP4 files, but I got the error -2048, what does this error mean??? with Xp OS
    Keep smiling !!!

    Yes you'll likely need to re-rip the album to your iPod.
    How many songs are reported in your iTunes library?
    When you said you selected your entire iTunes library and made sure they were not set to skip when shuffling, how exactly did you do that? 
    There seems to be a missing piece of information here that would help explain the differences in numbers.

  • Quicktime error -2048 when trying to play.mov files.

    I have been frustrated this weekend trying to find a solution to a problem that has only recently occurred accessing some digitised VCR tapes that had been archived on an external HDD. These are files that played back fine on my Quicksilver after I had recorded them, but now give a "Movie Not Available" message in Quicktime. However when opened in VLC I get a debug message box with the following information posted below. Any clues as to what might be the problem?
    I recorded the files from my VCR using an ADVC-100 DA converter over firewire into BTV Pro which created .mov files (DV-PAL). When I try to open the files in BTV Pro, I get a message box "There was an error opening the movie. No Movie found. Error code 20,-2048" Did a search for this error and -2048 appears to be a Quicktime error, so am wondering if there is a problem with my installation of Quicktime. I have got all the usual suspects in stalled, Flip4Mac, Perian, VLC. Mpeg Streamclip but can't get the file to open. The external HDD is Mac formatted but I found some info about problems with missing resource forks in older .mov files causing problems if copied to NTFS HDD's.
    Any ideas as to where to look next will be appreciated.

    Well it used to work fine so I think so. When I try and run the installer you linked to I get a message saying that a later version is already installed- isn't it built into the latest QT releases? One thing I thought of- the original files I think were made on a mac so there were some resource fork files of 4K size. I deleted these as I kept trying to open them by mistake, but then after this trouble I dragged them back out the trash to the original location but it didn't fix the problem- could that have caused some sort of association problem?

  • Getting error message when trying to watch a movie on my iPad

    I purchased a movie through iTunes for my iPad. I was able to watch the movie a few times now I'm getting a error message every time I try and watch it now, "you do not have permission to access the requested resource". What can be do to fix this problem?

    Is the movie a movie downloaded from iTunes? The iPad can only play certain movie files. Where have you downloaded the movie from? Some DVDs or other files from other internet sources may not work with the iPad.

  • Error Message when trying to watch shared video files thru the 'Video' app, via iTunes

    Since updating my iPad 2 to the new operating system, I can no longer watch shared videos from iTunes. I am getting the error "you do not have permission to access the requested resource.". I have restarted the ipad, turned home sharing off and on, reset the network... any ideas on how to get past this issue?

    Unfortunately, I don't think any of those solutions will work. The video won't play on my computer either, but I think that's because I don't have Quicken, or whatever is needed to watch videos from iTunes. Maybe that's what I need to do? Download the appropriate software to play the video on my computer?

  • Error -39 When Trying to Watch a Film That Is Still Downloading?

    I keep getting this and it's really starting to annoy me now.
    The title is pretty self explanitory.
    After I dismiss the error -39 window and resume the download a few minutes later I'll get error -50 and have to re-open iTunes and re-start the download for it to continue.
    Absolutely ridiculous.
    EDIT: And yes I make sure the film is at least half-downloaded before I start watching it.
    EDIT2: Apparently it has something to do with deleting temporary files in the download folder. But this means I have to stop the download, delete the temp file, and download the film from scratch. Therefore making the ability to watch a film whilst it's downloading completley useless.

    Hi DEAF,<br/>
    Sorry you are having problems, hopefully this may be something fairy simple to fix.
    Possibly something has gone wrong with your downloads settings, or maybe more likely it is something to do with security related software that you are using.
    *Do other things download ok ? or is it only add-ons you have problems with ?
    ** As a simple quick test download one of the avatars aside. They are very small image files and should download very quickly. Does it download, and can you find and view it ?
    * see also [[What to do if you can't download or save files]]
    Please post back saying what does and does not download, whether you have read and tried any of the suggestions in the linked article, and what security related software you are using.
