Question mark in Quicktime Symbol!

Whenever i go to say either msypace, ESPN, Gamespot, Yahoo, ETC. The little quicktime symbol has a little question in it and it wont play. I called quicktime and they knew nothing about it..

Click on the apple in the top left hand corner.
Click on "About This Mac".
The next window will tell you exactly which version OS you have.
Please correct your system info by going to My Settings over here in the right column.---->
We also need to know which version of QuickTime you are using. Open up QT & click on "About QuickTime Player".
The next window that opens up will let you know which version you are using and also if it is "PRO". Will need to know that also.

  • Question mark on quicktime videos and links

    Question mark on quicktime videos and links. Anyone have a clue about this one

    That video presentation is great for Mac OS, but not
    XP. Doesn`t happen on all sites, so is the problem my
    end or the other?
    What is exactly your problem?
    If you see a question when you visit a site where a QuickTime movie is embedded, there are possibilities. One is that there is a link made to the QuickTime, and QuickTime cannot access it. The second possibility which most people have is that you don't have an appropriate decoder for the QuickTime video. I only responded to the first case. And the second case is discussed several times a day.

  • Question Mark in Quicktime icon

    When I try to play a clip in Quicktime, all I get is a large question mark. Can anyone help?
    Thanks...
    Songstan

    hello i ma having this same problem...
    at first i would just restart, then it got more often, finally it would not load at all...
    i have backup copy of my hd on a partition and it works ok there, at least it loads...
    i tried disk repair and it indicated "unable to repair volume"...
    i just went through this on another hard drive that i finally had to just replace...
    it seems that quick time is actully destroying another hard disk...
    it was so bad on my other hard drive that i would re copy the startup disk from dvd...
    then it would crash after awhile saying b-tree needing repair...
    this is my delema, i have an older copy of os X 10.4, then to upgrade to quicktime pro i would up grade os x to 10.4.11 the most current...
    now when the os crashes it seems that i dont have the right disk utility to repair any of the damage...
    do i need a 10.4.11 dvd to repair my hd?
    is there a patch or upgrade to my disk utility that can repair my hd...
    i have a powerbook g4 867 with 1 gig ram,40 gig hd...
    thanks

  • Dashboard shows question mark for quicktime

    when i try viewing trailers in the movie widget, dashboard now displays a ? (question mark) over the quicktime icon.   latest quicktime,
    snow leopard 10.6.8....any suggestions?   thanks a bunch

    That does sound odd. But if it just started happening today, or within the past few days, some sort of file corruption could be the cause. If you want to test that, try this:
    1. Quit everything, except the Finder.
    2. Go to ~/Library/Preferences and remove (don't delete) the com.apple.Dashboard.plist file to the Desktop.
    3. Log out and log back in to your account and see if the problem continues. If not, and everything else is behaving normally, then the preferences file was corrupted, so you can delete the one on your Desktop.
    Post back with results.

  • Question mark on Quicktime logo

    Just updated my Quicktime and everytime I try to go to something that requires Quicktime I get a logo with a broken corner or the Quicktime logo with a Question mark in the middle.
    I have done everything I was supposed to, and it says it downloaded successfully, the logo is there but when I try to open anything I get the question mark.

    I have had this problem too, and recently found a solution that worked for me over on this forum: http://sillydog.org/forum/index.php
    (found by scouring google results for "quicktime question mark windows xp")
    (also, I had already changed QT's MIME settings so that it wasn't handling Flash swf movies -- it didn't help)
    the solution goes as follows:
    copy this file >C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll
    to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins
    That did it for me.
    Hope that helps.
    This worked for me.
    Now I can watch trailers on the Apple site again.
    the flash plugin you'll be moving is version 8.0 r22, which replaced my newly installed version 9.0 r16. I have no idea why this worked... Anyone have any input on that?

  • Question mark over Quicktime logo in Safari - MacBook

    Hi,
    I have a black macbook on which FCP studio is installed and therefore QT Pro.
    While browsing in Safari, (Latest 10.4.7 and Safari updates) and trying to access a link which plays streaming Qt's or just plain ones, I receive a Question mark over the Quicktime logo in place of the movie.
    When right clicking the link and saving target, it downloads the movie and opens it in quicktime ok.
    What the **** is going on.
    On my G5 no problems to access these exact same links...
    Pretty annoying I would say
    ThanX
    Jean michel

    Yeah, this is very common right now. Problem is not with Quicktime, but with the Shockwave plug-in in Safari. it is not yet native to intel-based Macs so it will not activate properly as is.
    Unfortunately, there is nothing yet to update to, so you can either live with it as is or run Safari in Rosetta mode which will slow it down slightly, but give you all the web content properly.
    Try this:
    Quit Safari
    Go to the Safari icon in Applications
    Ctrl-click the icon
    Go to "Get Info"
    Click the box next to "Open using Rosetta"
    Open Safari
    This will solve the problem until an Intel-compliant Shockwave plug-in comes out.

  • White question mark inside quicktime logo

    I used to be able to open a video attachment in email by clicking on it. Now when I do that I get "loading" and nothing happens.
    Then I get the quicktime logo with a white question mark in the middle.  If I download the video I cn see it, but if I try to see it
    from the email I have to down load again - putting another copy in download. Can I fix this?

    None of the videos at that site worked for me. Looking through the page code I couldn't find a URL for the QuickTime files.
    Only the page author can fix it.
    src="http://chnmstreaming.gmu.edu/historicalthinking/Scopes_Stream.mov"
    QTKirk, source code appears to be pre-cached by previous web page before jumping to this page. In any case, the streaming server appears to be down or at least off-line when you try to access the video stream directly which probably explains both the displayed question mark and the "now you see it—now you don't" nature of access mentioned by the OP here.

  • Safari 3.0.4: question mark and quicktime Q

    I've looked through many posting here, but am not sure that any of them deal with this.
    Since upgrading to 10.4.11/Safari 3.0.4 webpages often have the Quicktime Q with a superimposed question mark. Consequently, I can not see images/streaming videos, i.e, nyt site, etc.
    can someone explain what is going on and how to fix it, or how to downgrade too the previous version of Safari, where all was well?
    If I haven't explained the problem well enough, please let me know, so I can help you help me.
    Calls to AppleCare have led me through staring up as a test user, where the same thing happened, as well as tossing various com.apple.? from the preferences folder. some fixes have worked for a day or so, but the troubles return. quitting safari and restarting does not usually help.
    thanks for any thoughts and suggestions.
    adp

    Hi adp,
    In the past, one of the common workarounds proposed for these symptoms is to quit Safari and move the 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' file out of the HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder. Try that and see if it helps. Hopefully someone will be able to come up with a more complete solution.

  • Question mark in battery symbol

    The other day I did some app updates and restarted my phone. After startup, a question mark showed up in the battery icon. The phone was working fine otherwise though. I power cycled it a few times and the question mark would not go away. Apparently it would not charge either, as it is now DEAD. When I plug the phone in, I just get the battery icon with the question mark symbol. I took it to a local Verizon store (2 in fact) and they were of no help. I have only had the phone for just over a year (so no warranty or insurance), and I love it. There is no way I'm paying for a brand new phone when I did absolutely nothing to damage it! After doing some research I have noticed that other people have had this problem as well. I cannot even call customer service because I am alone without a phone!

    Contact Motorola and see if they will replace the battery for a fee. Since you will have to send the phone in, you should see if you can borrow a phone from a friend in the meantime.

  • Question mark over Quicktime logo on some trailers

    Hello there
    Some time ago i have an issue with QT 7.0.4. The issue was about a conflict with java when i try to run java app, so someone on this foro reply me to downgrade to 7.0.3 and give me a link to an installer to do that.
    The installer working great and the java app too, but when i try to see the movie trailers, some of them appear with a question mark over the QT logo and can't see the trailers.
    Right now i have 7.0.3 because i don't want the issue back.
    Anyone may suggest something, please ???

    Ok, here some of the trailers:

    But i want to give credits to QT, because only some of trailers (like all this) have the problem, not all of them.

  • TS1440 Flashing question mark, cancel, apple, and folder symbol.

    My computer has been acting weird for the longest time, I used to have a done of room on it and one day it disappeared. So I started deleting stuff off of it, big apps and what not so I could have more space, I would gain little bit of space but then a second later it goes back to "Zero KG" so I'm thinking I should restart my computer.. So I turn it off, then turn it on, and flashing symbols come up. After multiple times of turning it on and off, I put in my startup disk, but I can't get past the choosing the start up disk because it says I have zero KG on the disk.. So I take the disc out and it goes back to the flashing question mark/apple/folder symbol..

    Hello,
    Try holding the Option key at startup to see if you can boot off the Install Disc to repair the drive, or the c key.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    We need to clear some really big files off of it, like Movies, or I suspect some huge logs from something going wrong. 0 KB on the drive can ruin many files on there.

  • QuickTime 7.3.1, I get the question mark?

    Hello everybody in the forum.
    I have a problem with browsers when I see the trailers of the movies page apple, I get the question mark over QuickTime.
    Help Please
    Greetings!

    I struggled with this issue for a while. One of my false successes was re-installing Flash Player which worked until I closed my browser and reopened it.
    For some reason apple removed the option in the MIME settings to disable Flash Media. I think they were looking to remove the option since QuickTime wont play Flash Media. However, I looked at my com.apple.quicktime.plugin.plist in the Plist Editor that comes with Developer and discovered that the Shockwave Flash was set to "true." So, when upgrading to 7.3 somehow it not only kept my old prefs, but it enabled that option (which I never enabled) in my prefs, which is no longer an option in the User Interface Prefs. So I tried changing it to "False" but when I opened a browser session and went to a page with Flash Media, QuickTime changed it back to "True." I tried deleting the file and QuickTime recreated it with the same settings. I later found out deleting the com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist and the QuickTime Preferences files and rebooting would fix the problem. One of these files was causing the recreation of the com.apple.quicktime.plugin.plist file. Deleteing all three of these files should fix the problem.
    Location:
    Users/<your user name here>/Library/Prefernces/
    com.apple.quicktime.plugin.plist
    com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist
    QuickTime Preferences
    trash these and reboot
    *QuickTime will recreate uncorrupted prefs on first launch
    You could also compile this in Script Editor and run it (it targets and deletes the files and reboots your machine) Script editor is in Applications/AppleScript/.
    Copy text below:
    PLEASE NOTE:
    This script was created to simply remove the preferences associated with the QuickTime Plugin and QuickTime Player to remove the pesky QT question mark and restore Flash playback in browsers. It is intended to fix the problem on PPC machines where when updating to QuickTime 7.3 it carries over bad and/or corrupts the preference files associated with QuickTime. These preferences will be recreated on reboot. **You need to be logged into a user account with administrative access in order to use this script**
