QuickTime 7.1.2---MP3 fix?

From Software Update:
QuickTime 7.1.2 addresses an issue previewing iDVD projects. This update is recommended for all QuickTime 7 users.
Important Notice to QuickTime Pro Users
Installation of QuickTime 7 will disable the QuickTime Pro functionality in prior versions of QuickTime, such as QuickTime 5 or QuickTime 6. If you proceed with this installation, you must purchase a new QuickTime 7 Pro key to regain QuickTime Pro functionality. After installation, visit www.apple.com/quicktime to purchase a QuickTime 7 Pro key.
G4 DP 1.25 GHz 2GB RAM 4 Drives 770GB Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2 SuperDrives (SL 8X & DL 16X)

Based on the chronology on this page: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ I'd say 10.4.7 then 7.1.2. But do the 10.4.7 Combo. It seems to be the "safest" way to go. I never have a problem that way. Repair permissions before and after is a good practice. I usually forget the first part of that...
I am nervous.
Take a deep breath and dive in.

My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

I upgraded to Loin and lost Quicktime. What is the fix?

I upgraded to Loin and lost Quicktime. What is the fix?

How did you manage to lose Quicktime?
Quicktime Player should be in your Applications folder. If you had Quicktime Pro, then it should have been installed in your /Applications/Utilities folder as Quicktime Player 7.

Is quicktime ever going to be fixed... it's been rubbish for years.

I have a large number of audiobooks, I join the mp3 files into one big one then convert them to m4b in Itunes or MP3 to Ipod audiobook converter. These always played perfectly on my iPod classic, many of them won't play now I have a touch, they won't play on iPhone or iPad either. I'm guessing that IOS devices use quicktime as a media player as they wont play on quicktime either. (Error -2014: the movie contains an incorrect duration). If I try to play the original MP3 files they report incorrect times and do not play correctly either.
All of my MP3 files pass an MP3 check. All of MP3 and m4b files play perfectly on any Nano or Classic player, or any MP3 player I have tried.(lots) and will all play perfectly with iTunes, Media player, Zune, VLC etc. etc. it is ONLY ios devices and quicktime that have a problem.
I have seen this problem reported before, it has been around many years and Apple don't appear to have the ability or inclination to fix it...
I guess it is down to the fact that they hate windows users, it is similar to the USB problem that occurred at ios 5 release, you have to plug it into a motherboard (not hubs even though every other USB device works ONLY the touch doesn't) USB port or the device is no longer recognised.
Apple are well aware of the problem, they just don't care (100 odd billion in the bank they can afford the arrogance).
Would love to know if anyone has found a fix for the audiobook problem...

My Mail works fine. Thus I suspect the problems you describe are related to software problems with your own OSX installation. And a software update is not the issue.
To troubleshoot your software problem, you could try a few things, roughly in this order:
If you have any third-party mail related software, uninstall it.
Try a safe boot (restart, hold down shift until you see the Apple logo). This does some diagnostic testing and then starts up without third-party added on software. If this eliminates the problems with Mail, then you know the problem is with some third-party software. A safe boot doesn't fix anything, but it tells you where the problem is. Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? If the safe boot does indeed eliminate the problems with Mail, then you can try to eliminate the third party software that is causing the problem.
try a test user account: create a new user account. Recreate your mail accounts in that new account and see how Mail runs. If the problems are gone, then you know the problems are in your old user account.
Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
sometimes there is a problem with OSX that Disk Utility can't fix, and the solution is to reinstall OSX over your current installation. That usually works for OSX problems.

Quicktime won't play mp3

this is BEYOND annoying
I just upgraded to a brand new mac mini i7 that wont play mp3's or really another media in quicktime
i have an akai eie pro that may be effecting things, but still man c'mon. I'm tempted to just return this doorstop.
does anyone have any leads?

They just have the wrong creator.
Charlie Minow wrote a script to fix it and gives some background information:

Quicktime player quietly quits: how fix/replace?

Hi,
QuickTime Player application (running on Snow Leopard) is quietly quitting whenever I try to run it (and without playing anything).
It doesn't matter if I double-click it in Applications, or drag a .mp3 or .mov file onto the app in a Finder window, or if I right-click a .mp3 or .mov file and choose "QuickTime Player" ... in all cases, there's no visible sign that QuickTime actually started.
I confirmed, by checking the access date on the program file (well within the .app structure, of course), that attempts to run it *do* touch that file ...
If I use the Terminal and navigate down to /Applications/QuickTime Player.app/Contents/MacOS
and then try to run "QuickTime Player" program, I get:
2012-04-13 16:55:01.348 QuickTime Player[4911:903] Unable to load nib file: MainMenu, exiting
(see below)
The "QuickTime Player" folder app is dated Feb, 2012.
BTW, file "QuickTime Player" shows:
   QuickTime Player: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
   QuickTime Player (for architecture x86_64):          Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
   QuickTime Player (for architecture i386):          Mach-O executable i386
which looks fine.
It used to work (a month or two ago?)
I've rebooted.
I've run "Software Update" ... it won't find it or update it.
I've deleted it, then run Software Update ...ditto. (I then restored it via Time Machine.)
I went to the QT download page ... reading between the lines, it appears that QT download is available only Leopard and earlier.
I tried it anyway ... the app won't install, saying "QuickTime X" is already present.
I looked around, and found a version of QuickTime Player in a sub-folder ("Video Stuff") in my Applications folder ...
when run, it reports it's: QuickTime Player 10.0 (128), and the .app folder is dated June 27, 2011.
But it does seem to work, overall!
BTW, if I run this old QT from Terminal (from within the .app folder), I get:
2012-04-13 17:08:34.442 QuickTime Player[5157:903] .sdef warning for argument 'FileType' of command 'save' in suite 'Standard Suite': 'saveable file format' is not a valid type name.
...but it does work.
thanks,
Stan

640 x 480
Widescreen 16:9
These settings are contradictory. Please post a screen capture image of the QT "Inspector" window to confirm what encode matrix setting, PAR display setting, and Scale display settings are actually embedded in your file. Also please confirm whether or not the source material was widescreen and it is 4:3 aspect you wish to correct at this point. If not, then please state the height at which the transcoded file was encoded and the target aspect ratio at which you want files to play in all media players.
Once compressed it plays back in Windows Media Player as 16:9 video.
When played back with Quicktime it is squished into a 4:3 format.
Different players dispay content aspect differently.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
QT 7, for instance, displays the file using specific Scale dimensions and if these dimensions are not equivalent to PAR/anamorphic playback settings, then the file can display differently in differently media players. As to fixing the problem, that depends on which setting you are trying to fix and what platform/software is available.

Exporting Quicktime Interactive to Windows BUG - Fixed in Keynote 3 ???

There is a problem I have exporting from Keynote 2 to QT on Windows:
When the slide advances - a browser window opens and an error comes up "File not found".
There was a whole discussion a year ago I found about people having this crippling and annoying issue.
Does anybody know if this was fixed with Keynote 3?
My deadline is approaching fast and I don’t want to buy the new version if it is not fixed.

Welcome to the discussions, YoBo71.
No, it has not been fixed and we're not sure if the problem is actually with Keynote or if it's with the way QuickTime for Windows is parsing the file. We DO know that if the Windows PC is using QuickTime 7, then you don't want to distribute Keynote produced interactive QuickTime movies.

When I email videos from my iphone 5 (ios 6), i cannot open the file in quicktime. Anyone know a fix?

Hey, so I just got an iPhone 5, and i've come across an issue involving sending videos. I am now thinking it is quicktime on my computer, but here's the situation. I e-mail videos taken from my phone to myself, or my coach, for review. I did that a lot with my 4s when running ios 5, and everything was fine. Now when I e-mail videos from my iPhone 5 (ios 6), my computer will show a thumbnail of the video, but when I open it in quicktime, the video is black, but there is sound. I am however able to open it in VLC player, but i would much prefer to be able to open it in quicktime. Could it be the way it was compressed when e-mailed? When I plugged my phone into my computer and copied the full (uncompressed) video file from the iphone, it opened fine in quicktime. Also my coach has quicktime pro on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), and both files open fine.
I am running Windows 7, with Quicktime version 7.7.2.
Any ideas?

The only fix I know right now for Windows users is QuickTime 7.7.1
Here's a link:http://www.coachmyvideo.mobi/#!ios6/c13th

The preview and cover flow don't show thumbnails of the quicktime videos. How to fix?, The preview and cover flow don't show thumbnails of the quicktime videos. How to fix?

When I upgraded to Mavericks the cover flow or the preview pane in finder don't show a thumbnail of an uncompressed quicktime movie. I use this to search for the correct clip so it was very useful in prior versions of OS X but appears to be left off in Mavericks. If anyone knows a work around I would appreciate it since I work with thousands of video clips. To click each one seems very tedious.
Also, when I click on an uncompressed video, quicktime "converts" the video to some different format. Why doesn't it just play the video instead of converting? Is there a way to stop this? I hate have to say - no I don't want to save this file.
Arrgh!

Does anyone in the community have insite into this issue (same with animation compressed QT's). Is this just the way it is moving forward (a terrible thing) or is it a bug that will be fixed in the near future. Apples silince on if this is a "feature" or a "bug" is frustrating.
Thanks.

Quicktime 7.1.5 Update Fixes Color Profile Bug

You'll be glad to know that the latest Quicktime update, 7.1.5, that was released yesterday fixes the bug that prevented iPhoto 6.0.5 from importing or using/editing image files that did not have a color profile embedded in them.
However, users using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements should still set those applications to manage and embed an RGB profile in files so that when printing prints or ordering books/prints/calendars/cards ordered thru Apple they will have an accurate color rendition of what you see on the screen.
Do you Twango?
G5 Dual Core 2GHz, 2G RAM, 250G HD; G4 Dual 1Ghz, 1.5G RAM, 80G HD, QT 7.1.3, Mac OS X (10.4.8) 22 LCD, 250G/200G/160G FW HDs, Canon: SD700IS/i850/LIDE 50, Epson R200, 30G iPod

Yes it is. I ran several files thru PS, removing the profile, and they imported into iPhoto OK. I just ran another test (no profile in the files, edited in PS and saved w/o profile, iPhoto set to not embed a profile) and it worked as advertised. The files were editable by iPhoto and viewable in the full screen mode.
Interesting in that the resulting modified file ended up with a profile embedded even though iPhoto was set not to. Haven't figured that one out yet.
The bottom line is that it works as advertised.

Quicktime insists on playing MP3s?

I installed Quicktime for windows so it would play .MOV files, and only those. I configured 'file types' to do that and I unticked everything else. However, if I click an MP3 link on a web page Quicktime opens up and plays it - every time! I want Windows Media Player to do this. If I click on an MP3 in my PC everything is ok. How do I stop Quicktime from giving itself priority when I click on an MP3 link in a web site??

Quicktime 7.1.1 update fixes whine?

I have a Week 11 MacBook Pro (15.4" 1.83GHz) that had the CPU whine. I strayed away from the Keyboard & Mouse Update and used the Mirror.widget start-and-close trick to remove the whine. Once the whine was gone, it would not start up unless I ran the camera again, or until I rebooted.
After installing the Quicktime update (out since a couple of days ago), I haven't noticed any CPU whine.
Is this it? Is this the software update that repairs one of the most nagging problems of the MacBook Pro line?
I'm tempted to try installing the Keyboard & Mouse update now to see what'll happen.

Though I don't think you're lying, you may be experiencing something that happens to many of us.
For SOME reason, I don't know what, after I receive Apple Updates computer noises diminish somewhat for a short period of time. I have lost my screen inverter whine and processor whine to many updates, for it to come back days later. Some other people have reported improvements after some updates too.
It may have to do with the updates requiring "restarts" you know when you restart and it takes an exceptionally long time to reboot? Maybe something is being reset that decreases our noise symptoms, but reappears after repeated use.
I don't know the answer, all I know is that I'm still happy with my MBP, I wouldn't trade it for any other computer, but when they have a permanent solution for all of the problems, I'll be right there in line with everyone else to get them fixed!

Can QuickTime Pro embed an MP3 in an MPEG-4, MPEG-2, or FLV container?

I'm just looking for some software that'll let me upload an MP-3 to YouTube. That's pretty much the beginning and end of my interest in QuickTime Pro or anything similar.
Hope someone can help...

What do You Tube ask for?
MPEG-2 is not a container - it is a multiplexed A/V format used for DVD. QT won't output to FLV (Flash) without buying Flash (mega $) and since when you send to You Tube they make and post it in FLV (or now MP4) for you I think they don't actually ask for FLV do they?
You want to send a video with no video, just audio? You can open an MP3 and save that as a MOV file, there will just be audio (MP3) in a MOV container. Something like MPEG Streamclip should let you open the MP3 and export to an MP4 movie with no movie just AAC audio.

Quicktime does not play MP3 in IE8 Embedded

I'm running windows xp/sp3 and IE8. When I execute the inline <object> code (commented out above), Quicktime will load and play the MP3. However, when I execute the JS function, Quicktime just presents the Q with the question mark. Either version of the code executes in Chrome, Firefox and IE9. Is there something I need to do in the script, or maybe IE8 + Quicktime just doesn't do MP3's in this way. Thanks for any help.

Using interactive QuickTime movie on Windows is fixed!!

With the release of 7.2, the problem listed in this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=154423&tstart=0
has been resolved! If you update your PC to QuickTime 7.2, interactive QuickTime movies exported from Keynote will work without opening Internet Explorer

Welcome to the discussions, Christopher.
Over in the Keynote discussions we've been going over this for quite awhile. Unfortunately, there's no easy solution to your problem. I've even gone as far as attempting to preload the chapter track thinking that might solve the problem, but it doesn't work.
One thing I don't think I've tried is setting up the first slide to advance "on-click" so that there's no animation before the first transition. The problem, of course, is that there's no "loading" animation to let it know when it's ready to go.
Another thing I haven't tried but that might work is to create the movie so that it doesn't autoplay, and then, using the embed commands, set autoplay to be the full length of the movie (so that it will automatically play, but only after it's completely downloaded). Look here for the autoplay embed commands.
