Safari and quicktime plugin

Hi, I have been having an issue with my safari and its quicktime functions and was wondering if anyone can help. I always get the quicktime symbol along with a question when say for example I go to view a something on youtube, no problem with firefox however. Anyone know what I could do.
THank you

I had the same problem using OS X 10.4.8 with all security updates. After reinstalling OS X 10.4.4 from CDs which came with my iMac, all images would load into Safari. After downloading all updates till current, I now, once again, get the deselected Quicktime "Q" with a ? instead of some (but not all) images. Installing Flash Player did not help. It is apparent to me that the problem is caused by one of the Apple updates between the original OS 10.4.4 software and the current OS 10.4.8 software with security updates. I do not encounter this problem when using Opera as my web browser. (I am running the same, latest version OS X software without this Safari problem on a iMac G5 and a MacBook Pro core2 duo on the same network.) Help me, please!

  • Safari and quicktime no longer working

    I apologize in advance that I have really no information to offer...but this is really causing me problems.
    This afternoon I received my normal system update notice, which included updates for Safari and Quicktime (I have Mac OS X 10.4.11), without really thinking about it I clicked accept and went about my business...after the restart I went online and noticed that absolutely nothing involving quicktime/flash/windows media player files would not show up on screen...I just got the Q with a question mark.
    I read through all the discussions for quicktime, deleted and re-installed quicktime, my flash plugins, etc....NOTHING has worked.
    At this point I am not sure where to turn, I am only basic in my knowledge of plugins and how things work, but I follow everyones advice and it is really annoying me that I cannot view any kind of video online.
    thoughts? Am I missing something?

    for "System Preferences -> QuickTime -> Advanced -> (MIME Settings...) -> Miscellaneous ->" I have "Quicktime HTML (GHTM) checked, while "SMIL 1.0" is unchecked
    So is "System Preferences -> QuickTime -> Advanced -> Enable Flash ->" (unchecked)
    OK. They both look normal enough.
    What plug-ins do you have under the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder? (This one is under the main hard drive area, not you User area).
    Run this command in the Terminal if you're not sure and then paste the output here:
    <pre>ls -l /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/</pre>
    I have the following listed: a micromedia folder, and "RealPlayer Plugin.plugin
    I'm guessing you meant 'Macromedia' instead of Micromedia? Try dragging both of those onto your Desktop for the time being. Unless you have some special reason, internet plug-ins generally go in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder so that all users of the computer can access them. Plug-Ins present in the User area also take precedence, so there's a chance those might be part of the problem.

  • Safari and quicktime keep crashing

    if i run quicktime it crashes as does safari. this is new to me. i've been a mac user for twenty years now and apple's have been known to me for reliability, but this is getting ridiculous. does this have anythig to do w/the new intel macs?
    or does safari and quicktime need a apatch?
    mind you this is new, when i got the g-5 i didn't have a problem but recently both safari and quicktime keeps crashing intermittantely and it's annoying to say the least.
    thanx

    Based on your inquiry, I'd assume you're using one of the new Intel Macs? If that is so, there is an issue right now where Quicktime and the new procs seem to not like each other much. If you're experiencing this, try forcing QuickTime to open using Rosetta.

  • Safari 5.1.7 and QuickTime Plugin problem. Either no PDF or no

    With QuickTime plugin.plugin installed in the library/internet plugins folder pdf files will not load
    Removing the QuickTime plugin.plugin file then allows me to read pdfs BUT THEN NO SOUND with imbedded AIFF audio file in iWeb Quicktime element. All I get is missing plug in message.
    Help please

    Delete the following items (some may not exist) from the Library folder of your home folder (not the one at the top level of the startup volume):
    Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
    Relaunch Safari and test.

  • Safari and viedo plugins

    There are many pages I open where Safari will not display the video for that page, here is an example error.
    The page “NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NCAA, Fantasy Sports and more: CBS SportsLine.com” has content of MIME type “audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
    I have installed flip4mac and still seems like if it is not quicktime I can see the video
    Any help

    Hi David
    A lot of those pages you mentioned are not compatible with Safari, and in a few cases, the Mac platform. Have you tried any of them on Firefox?

  • Interesting Safari and Quicktime observation

    I recently booted Snow Leopard into 64 bit mode, and eveything had been going great, except certain media files in Safari (for instance any trailer that didn't launch the stand-alone QT player, but tried to play in the Quicktime plugin) would come up with a question mark.
    Tell Safari to open in 32 bit mode fixed it.
    So anyone who is having weird Quicktime plugin issues and getting the blue question mark, are you in 64 bit mode? If so, this could be it.
    Seems that Safari is fully 64 bit, and quicktime PLAYER is, but the Quicktime PLUGIN is not. So if it tries to load in Safari running in 64 bit, you'll get weird behavior.
    I'm back to booting in 32 bit mode, and it's all working fine again.
    Had been scratching my head, so just in case anyone has that issue.

    for "System Preferences -> QuickTime -> Advanced -> (MIME Settings...) -> Miscellaneous ->" I have "Quicktime HTML (GHTM) checked, while "SMIL 1.0" is unchecked
    So is "System Preferences -> QuickTime -> Advanced -> Enable Flash ->" (unchecked)

  • After Effects 7.0 and Quicktime Plugin Conflict

    Hello "forum-ers",
    I'm using Adobe After Effects 7.0, and i've created a video in the same.I want to use this video in Adobe Flash CS3.Neither the flv nor the Quicktime formats are available in the render queue options.I presume its because i do not have Quicktime installed.But if i try to install Quicktime, AE wouldn't load.It displays a message, error while loading plug-in "Scripting", and then crashes.So, i guess there's a shared plugin somewhere in between the two.
    So if i use QT,i cant open AE.If i use AE,i cant save in QT.Similar problem lies in Flash, and its CS3 Encoder.Without installing QT, it displays a message : install DirectShow 9 "and" Quicktime 7.
    Any help appreciated!
    Many Thankx,

    I'm sorry to hear that. Sounds like something is severely mixed up on your system. Do you by any chance use some widget-y system extensions? Users have reported some funny things going on when e.g. MenuMaster or specific news feed widgets are installed. In any case, since for the time being you seem to be stuck with no QT in AE, you should work with TIFF files and PSDs. Both formats are reasonably compressed (for TIFF, enable the LZW option), support 16bpc and they are handled by native Adobe loaders/ savers, which should eliminate any potential interference side effects from your defunct QT routines. In addition, TIFFs can play almost realtime in AE just like some QT CoDecs, which helps when scrubbing through a complex project.

  • Windows media plugin doesn't work at all in FF4 and both realmedia and quicktime plugins only function partially. Any idea what causes this or is there a fix in the tube?

    When trying to play embedded WMA absolutely NOTHING happens. An error message saying there's a problem with the quicktime plugin appears, when encountering embedded quicktime, but it dissapears before I can press "more".
    As for realmedia I have to reload page 2-3 times before it works.
    And all plugins are up todate

    Cycle count is on the high side, but condition is normal.

  • How to print uspto patent images using Safari and Quicktime

    3/18/06
    Do you want to know how to print US patent images using Safari? Read on.
    When you access the "images" link of a specific patent on the www.uspto.gov/ website using Safari, the page you are viewing is only one small upper left tile of a huge patent image that is not sized to the screen. You can scroll and try to read the page but it's almost impossible. Try to print it out and you only print what's on the screen. Bummer.
    The fix:
    Place the cursor on the opened image (it may appear blank), hold down the CONTROL key on you keyboard and click on the image. Two instructions come up. Click on the "Save Image to the Desktop" instruction and a DImg.tiff file will be created on your desktop. Click on the .tiff file and it should open in the Preview program, then simply print out the image. Voila!!!!
    Click the yellow arrow in the left margin to access page 2 of the patent and repeat the previous instructions to create another .tiff file on your destop. Do every page and you'll have the patent available to print out one page at a time.
    You can then rename the files and create a folder for that specific patent so you can access it later without signing onto uspto site.
    It's odd that the ever compatible Apple does not provide seamless compatibility to view and print patent images on the US Patent and Trademark Office's website. Where would they be without protecting their own intellectal property? Let's hope the next version of Quicktime includes the appropriate ITU T.6 or CCITT Group 4 (G4) compression language.
    Even the "throw it out the Windows" operating system is up to speed on this issue for America's hard working inventors.
    Keep on inventing.

  • Why Safari and QuickTime don't work on OS 10.3.9?

    I have an old Mac G4 running OS 10.3.9.  Safari 1.3.2 does not work properly. Moreover QuickTime does not work at all. I cannot watch the movies on my website. I know my site is OK because everything works with a newer computer. What can I do to improve the situation? The interesting thing is that in the past everything worked fine. The problems started when I reinstalled the system and upgraded it to 10.3.9. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I also apologize for having posted the same question on the Safari forum. But I think the present forum is more appropriate.

    When you reinstalled and upgraded to 10.3.9 you perhaps have not applied relevant updates to Java and Flash.
    10.3 Panther barely works on the internet anymore so i am not suprised you are having problems.
    You can check which Java version you have at the link below
    http://www.javatester.org/version.html
    and I'd try another internet browser like Camino. It is 'less old' than Safari is on 10.3, but basically 10.3 has been left behind as far as the internet goes.

  • Safari and QuickTime

    So I was messing around with the Safari settings, and for some reason I clicked the "Play Videos in QuickTime Player" tab and now when I visit a website and want to watch a video, it starts up the QuickTime Player and plays it. I would like to be able to play the videos inside the browser's page like they used to but I cannot find the setting to un-click it. I might need to do something to the plug-in but I cannot find that setting either.
    Any help would be aprecciated,
    Chris
    edit:
    I found the answer on a website.
    Question #2
    How can I change the tab settings in Safari to open everything in a different tab instead of a new window?

    How can I change the tab settings in Safari to open everything in a different tab instead of a new window?
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    In your Safari Preferences>General select "open links from Applications" in a new tab in the current window.
    There are instances though where a new window opens regardless of the above setting. Using 3rd party SAFT ensures all items open in tabs in the current window. SAFT also offers many other useful features augmenting Safari.

  • Safari and QuickTime not working together - still....

    Just to report further on this issue of Safari giving a Q with a ? in it when trying to play QT content. I have tried all the offerings of solutions in the older threads to no avail and hoped that upgrading to Leopard would solve the problem, but no. I then upgraded to QT 7.3 that came out this morning but no still don't work. I would have thought that a big a problem as this is for a lot of people would have been solved by now.
    So anyone else still having problems?
    Anyone any more ideas, because Apple don't seem to...

  • Safari and Djvu plugin

    Hi, all. I recently installed the djvu plugin for my emac (safari v1.0.3 and 10.2.8), and I cannot view any djvu files. The plugin (v6.0) is shown to be present in the installed plugins, but when I go to the open file menu, all of the djvu files are ghosted and cannot be selected. Any ideas how to help here? Thanks!

    I was able to load and view some of the samples at http://www.djvuzone.org/demos/index.html using the plugin (I only tried a couple). But when I saved the files to the desktop they didn't show up on the desktop and were greyed out in File > Open File...
    I restarted the computer and the files became visible on the desktop. Double-clicking the files opened them using the DjVu Plugin Host, located in the DjVu folder in Applications. You can also use the Plugin Host to view the examples in the DjVu folder.
    However, I don't know what the story is with 10.2. DjVu is somewhat of a mystery since not too many people seem to use it and info/expertise seems to be scarce. This is about the second post about DjVu that I've seen here in a couple of years.
    Hope this helps some.
    Cheers,
    K.S.
