.mov will play on iPhone but not on computer

Hello,
I have had this problem intermittently but it has me a little confused. Here is what's going on.
i have recorded several .mov files on my iPhone 5 and I can play each and every one of them from the phone without issues. Now, when i plug the phone into my MacBook, a few of the movies will not play with ANY media player. For example, if I try to open the movie with Quicktime or any other player, like VLC, it is not recognized. It is as if the file is damaged.
Why can my phone play the movie but it appears damaged when plug into my Macbook and/or copied to my machine?
Thanks!

Hi E30,
I think you should have updated media players as you are trying to play the clips recorded from iphone 5.
So, you should check your quick time player version & vlc too.
Here is the link where you can check your OS X version & download then install the right version of quick time player:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#quicktime
You can also update your vlc player version if needed:

Hope it would help please let me know if it doesn't.

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play in quicktime but not iTunes

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play with quicktime but not iTunes so I can't sync them

Th AVPlayerHD works well for playing other video types. You can transfer the videos via USB in the app tab in iTunes on your computer. When you open that tab when you have you iPad connected to the computer scroll down and you will see apps listed on the left and a blank on the right. Click on the app and then click on the add button under the blank window on the right. Then navigate to the video you want to play and it will transfer it to the iPad. I have about 14 movies on mine using AVPlayerHD. works very well. Also have VLC player (before it was yanked from the app store). Works about the same.
You can also get the app Air Video and stream the video to from your computer to the iPad, and even have Theo ad connected to the tv to watch on there. I do that all the time with my iPhone. Saves time with not having to sync movies all the time.

Hi i am putting photos in my project it will play the videos but not the photos never had a problem before

hi i am putting photos in my project it will play the videos but not the photos i have not had a problem with this before

If you haven't tried re syncing the apps using iTunes..
Connect the iPad to your computer. Select it under Devices left side of the iTunes window. Select Apps from the menu, make sure the boxes next to those apps are selected then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.

Computer will recognize my iphone but not my wifes

My wife and I both have Iphone 4's that have been set up on the same computer. Recently the computer will recognize my phone but not my wifes. When I plug her's in, I get a double chime and that is it. Plug mine in, get a single Chime, and Itunes opens and syncs. I have removed Itunes and the supporting programs, including Bonjour, and reinstalled. It did not work. Also I took her phone to the Apple store, it recoginzed on their computer there and they installed IOS 5 for us. Got home and still nothing.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Hello: Thanks to all who replied or read my concern. I was able to solve the issue on my own. What I forgot to mention in the original post was that both my wife and I were attempting to use the Free App " Find My iPhone" from the App Store to set up Find My iPhone which I'm not certain if that was the source of the headache.
At any rate, I simply deleted the app from both iPhones and set up them up in iCloud using the same AppleID account and password which is what it said all along-but I was not getting it. After doing so, both my iPhone and my wife's iPhone are listed in My Devices.
Best Regards,
Marty

Network on iPhone, but not on computer

I'd unplugged my modem and airport express before I went on vacation. I came back home, I plugged everything in again, but now my Internet isn't working This is the situation:
- I can see (and use) my network on my iPhone, but I can't see it on my computers (I have several computers at home, both Apple and PC. None can see my network).
- Modem seems to be working fine, since I can use the internet on my iPhone without any difficulty
- I've already performed a hard reset on my Airport Express, but it makes no difference.
Can anyone help me?

I realize your solution helped Mr. Dre, but it hasn't worked for me. I had the same issue - I have an older Dell Lat D600 laptop as well as a new macbook and an iphone, all of which were accessing the internet wirelessly on the previous model (802.11g) of the airport express. When I replaced the airport express, I set up a wireless network with WPA/WPA2 personal security, at which point my iphone was able to access the network with no trouble, but my macbook and Dell laptops could not connect. They could each see the network, but the connections were timed out.
I spoke on the phone with an apple support tech, and she suggested I specify that the airport broadcast on channel 6, after which now the macbook has been able to connect. Still, however, the windows machine will recognize the network but not connect. When I have changed the settings to allow open access, my PC can connect, but it just times out if I use any security at all, from WEP on up. I have tried deleting my connection profiles from the PC and connecting again, but this has still not worked. Is this kind of thing a known issue?

Videos play on iPhone, but not MacBook (page generated by 'Save for Web')

I have QT 10, and I wanted to post a video I made on a personal webpage. I used the 'save for web' option from within QT 10, and it generated the usual ugly HTML page, the MOV file, and the source files that I specified. I edited the HTML to make it look a bit prettier and added the extra content I wanted to have, and uploaded it to my webserver (page is located at http://www.mripatientsafety.com/NERHRM/Resources/NERHRM_TGilk_on_MRI_Safety.html).
The video played when I loaded it on my iPhone, but wouldn't load / display on my MacBook in either Firefox or Safari. I thought it might be something wrong with the MOV wrapper file, so I changed the HTML to skip the MOV and point directly to the MV4 file, but the exact same symptoms persist.
I don't do this often, but I have used the 'Save for Web' feature maybe a half-dozen times before, and I've never had this problem. At this point, I'm thinking that the problem might be:
I'm a dummy and goofed up a section of code and didn't realize it.
There's been updates to Firefox and Safari since the last time I tried this (perhaps a year ago) and they now are unfriendly with the way that QT 10 prepares the HTML.
I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can offer to help make sure that the video displays properly for the greatest number of viewers.
Thank you in advance.

Further update:
I am trying to import the files to my Macbook Pro (10.10.3) via Photos, and it will not allow me to import them.
I receiving the below error message:
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may to contain valid data).
Reason: The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9912.)
The file types are .mp4 and .mov
Any ideas or recommendations?
I have done a Hard reset, soft reset, and tried resetting network settings.
I have done a Manual Backup to computer and did a backup to iCloud- but I have not restored the iPhone yet, as I am not sure if the files are being backed up or not?
I also tried using a third party transfer app (AnyTrans) to transfer the files to my computer hard drive, but it would not allow the transfer and kept skipping the videos which won't play back (even though it recognizes them - but won't play them back).

TS2972 Apple TV will play some content but not other content

My AppleTV will recognize the available content on my computer and will play some of it, but when I try to watch other content it says that I must authorize the computer. However, the computer is already authorized, which Apple TV sees because it will play my music and a TV show I've downloaded. The content that it will not play was downloaded directly onto my iPad, and I can watch it on my iPad. When I try to watch it on Apple TV, it says I need to authorize the computer.
This is very frustrating. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Just needed to Re-authorize the computer and every thing worked fine. I imagine this will solve most of the issues that I see posted on here concerning this problem.

Have two albums in iTunes that say can't find file location but they are on iPod nano and will play on nano but not in iTunes

I'm trying to play two albums using iTunes but they say the files can't be located and won't play. The albums are on my iPod Nano 3rd Gen. and will play there. Syncing my iPod and computer doesn't resolve the problem. How do I get the albums from the nano to the computer?

Hello, FayAnnR.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that I would recommend going through when iTunes indicates that a file can not be located.
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1408
If the media was purchased from iTunes, I would recommend deleting the missing media and either transfer purchased from your iPod or download them again via the third article below.

Dvd will play on comp. but not on tv/dvd player? help

Hey,
i just started to learn how to use my mac/iDVD and I burned two DVd's without any issues and they played fine on my regular tv/dvd player. I had a basic image/audio for the background.
I made another DVD with a video for the menu background and more data on it-but it still was under 4.7 Gb of storage..etc. But I went to play it on my tv/dvd player and it says "incorrect disc" and will not read it,yet it will play fine on my Mac.
Any reason why this won't work vs. my other two that burned fine??
Thanks.

Did you burn it as an Audio CD or a Data CD? You may have a home CD player that can play data discs while the car player cannot...

Published module (.swf) will play in Firefox but not IE

Please help…
Does anyone know why a .swf file would play fine in Mozilla Firefox, but not load at all in Internet Explorer?   I have six of these that I’ve uploaded to our intranet production server (where they should work fine). They all play fine in Firefox. In IE I get a blank screen that just hangs forever. I don't even get the loading screen (which plays correctly in Firefox.) They are published with Captivate 4 for Flash 8. I am using IE 7 with Flash 10 on Windows XP to try to play them. I’ve Googled the problem and searched the Captivate forums and can’t find anything on this.
This is a major problem for us, as our company standard is IE and these training modules are intended for all staff. We were hoping to roll them out to all staff next week. Could this be something that is local to my machine (which is new)?   If so, how do we troubleshoot it to make sure it won’t happen to other users in the field when we roll this training out?
The modules play in IE fine from my local hard drive.   I've also modified my IE and Flash settings to list the sites as trusted sites and always allow content.
I've got to get this figured out ASAP... any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks.
Toni R

IE - I have version 10,1,102,64 installed
Firefox - I have version 10,1,85,3 installed
I followed two sets of instructions. One related to the putting FakeFlash.exe in the ExecutablePublish folder. However, that didn't fix the problem I was experiencing. Then I Followed instructions from:
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/11/solution-for-cp5-content-not-working-with-the-lat est-flash-player-version.html
which told me to replace the CPAnimationUtils.dll file in the installations folder.
This did correct my problem.

I got a video from iStore and it will play in iTunes but not on my iPod

One of the videos i purchased back in Feb 2006 (TV show) was wiped from the purchased list with the iTunes 7 update and no longer shows up in any of the playlists anywhere on my iPod. I can play it in iTunes on my computer, but no matter what changes I tried, it won't update it to my iPod again.
Other videos, such as smaller clips, that I purchased around the same time are still there and playable, as well as tv shows I have bought since. I still have a copy of the receipt for this video in my inbox. What can I try to do to get my iPod to recognize the file again?
iPod Video Windows XP Pro

Perhaps it is time to try performing a RESTORE on your iPod and see if that clears it up.

Sent mail shows up on iphone but not on computer in sent box?

When I type a message and send it from the iphone it does not show up in the sent mail box on my computer or ipad.

On my set up, with the mobile me sync panel set to automatic and mail accounts ticked, I recieve incoming mail instantly. (on phone and mac)
Mail Accounts under the Sync tab for your MobileMe account settings is for syncing email account settings with the Mail.app between multiple Macs only. This has nothing to do with Fetching messages or new messages being pushed to the Mail.app or to the iPhone.
The iPhone includes a Push setting, which can be turned on or off. Are you saying if you turn Push access off on your iPhone and leave Mail Accounts selected under the Sync tab for your MobileMe account settings on your Mac, new messages will be pushed to your iPhone with your MobileMe account even though Push access is turned off on your iPhone?
+There is no setting at System Preferences > MobileMe under the Sync tab that has anything to do with the Mail.app.+
+The Fetch setting for the Mail.app is at Mail > Preferences under the General tab.+
+The Mail.app setting that allows for Push access with an IMAP account is available under the Advanced tab for the account preferences - use IDLE command if the server supports it.+
The iPhone includes a Fetch setting, which is used if Push access is turned off. The iPhone includes a global push setting - on or off, and you can enable or disable push access separately for received messages, contacts and calendars with a MobileMe account. I don't have push access enabled for received messages with my MobileMe account on my iPhone, but I do have push access enabled for contacts and calendar events.
The MobileMe sync settings under the Sync tab for your MobileMe account preferences has nothing to do with the Mail.app and checking for new messages or syncing server stored mailboxes with the Mail.app or with the iPhone's Mail client.

Purchased music shows in iphone, but not in computer, how can I get them bk

I can't find my purchased music from itunes, they show in my iphone and I can play them as well,
but they are nowhere to be found in my laptop. How can I get them back....It's almost $100.00
value, need help please!!!

iTunes Store purchases are treated a bit differently than other music in your library. If you have authorized music purchases from the iTunes store on your phone and your computer is authorized for that same account, you can transfer purchased tunes from the phone to the computer -- whether you purchased them on the iPhone or on the computer. You can read more about transferring purchases here:

ITunes will play some videos, but not others?

Hello,
I use my MacBook Pro at home with Apple TV to home share videos and music. I have also recently upgraded to mavericks.
When I play videos on my tv at home they work fine, but I am traveling and now videos will not play. They just show 0:00 with a pause button instead of a play button. Some videos do work, but only a handful.
Would this be due to the mavericks upgrade? Should I re-install iTunes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi gta,
Ok.. let's try this. Launch Disk Utility, it's in your Applications/Utilities folder. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit Disk Utility when it's finished.
Get Onyx. It's a free disk utility. Run the Maintenance and Cleaning Scripts once a week. It's available here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
If none of the above works, delete these files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkDiagnostics.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkUtility.plist
Note -- the com.apple.network.Config.plist is not located in your home folder --
Drag those files to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. You will have to reset your network preferences.
