Stop quicktime player as default to view youtube video

Hi,
My Mac recently updated and whenever I open the video from youtube, the quicktime player will automaticly run the video and say the file not found.
How to unselect quicktime player as default to view youtube video?
Thanks
Trang

If you are opening a Youtube video from your desktop do the following:
Highlight your file>File>Get Info>
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select the application you want to open the file with.
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”
==========================
Short cut:
Control mouse click (right mouse click if available), Open With...-> Other
Pick an app you want to open the video, and make sure to check Always Open With before hitting Open.
Thanks to a brody for the above short cut.
=============
If you are viewing the video on YouTube's site, then the changes can be done through your browser Preferences to select a default video viewer.  However, you have not mentioned which browser you are using to view videos.

  • Quicktime Player opens all past viewed videos

    As I opened my first video in Quicktime it played fine, then I closed Quicktime Player and opened another video. At that point the new and old videos opened. The more videos I viewed the more that opened. I cannot close individual windows I must close Quicktime to close all windows. I can no longer just open one video.

    Here are the Terminal commands:
    to disable Resume in Preview and QuickTime Player X:
    defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
    defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
    Quit the apps before you run the commands.  Again, swap "true" for "false" to reverse your change.

  • How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?

    How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?
    It's really annoying for Quicktime player to auto-lauch!

    It may not be that simple David. They're using a "server" and some of the Apache software may want to launch QuickTime at boot.
    This isn't really a QuickTime question. It's a sever question best answered in those Discussion pages.

  • Problems viewing Youtube videos when Adobe Reader is installed

    Hi,
    Since I installed Adobe Reader XI there are some issues viewing Youtube videos. The videos stop playing after about 2 seconds, or go back to zero.
    First I tried to deactivate all plugins in Firefox (which I normally use; I also tried to play the videos in IE, but that didn't work as well).
    Then activated one by one.
    I use Windows 8.1  (had the same issue on Windows 8).
    I got a Windows message, saying there is a problem with my videocard, from [date].
    That same day I installed Adobe Reader XI.
    So, I deinstalled it, and everything worked fine again.
    Today I installed Adobe Reader XI (11.0.05, Dutch) and yoohoo, back to the same issue again: videos stop after 1 or 2 seconds.
    Is this a known Adobe issue?

    Well, tried several things.
    Used AMDDrivertest (or something like that) to detect whether the most recent drivers for the videocard, which seems to be okay.
    Then, tested again (to be sure) if youtube video's played well when Shockwave Flash was deactivated. Yes it did.
    So I deinstalled Flash, and rebooted pc.
    Then downloaded and installed a quite old version of Shockwave Flash (11.6.8.638) and yes, youtube video's played well. But, then again, of course, the tv-site didn't work, for it needs the newest Flash player.
    So, uninstalled the flash again, debooted.
    Then, downloaded and installed the Shockwave Flash version as I have on my laptop, which is 11.9.900.170.
    And ... youtube vid's did'nt work again.
    And... the tv-site does work.  :-|
    I looked into the processes which could be related to Adobe Reader or Acrobat, (I have Creative Cloud) and stopped all those.
    Still no changes.
    So, for now, I don't know what else I could do, other than watch youtube only at my laptop :-)  (better for my workflow I guess :-)
    Could it be something with Creative Cloud? Seems to me it couldnt' for I stopped those processes.  I don't use that on my desktop.
    Still very strange.
    The only thing I can think of theres' some kinda bug in the latest Shockwave versions.
    I remember I had the same version as on my laptop installed before this one, then the problem started, and because of that I updated to the 12.0.0 43 version.

  • I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8?

    I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8? If this is so, I need to find an older flash player plugin to reinstall. I do not want to upgrade from 10.6.8 at this time because I have 18 yrs. worth of financial records on Quicken that I have read will not work with Lion and I've read bad things about running music programs on Maverick.

    1)  Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) is a full featured app that can be downloaded from Intuit for $15 and will work with your data file if you are using Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 (if you version is earlier, let me know for more instructions on easy conversion):
    http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
    2) Partition your hard drive, or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks there and "dual-boot" to operate your music programs in Snow Leopard and experiment with them in Mavericks.
    DO NOT install Mavericks over Snow Leopard!

  • How to view YouTube video through search engines

    Hi.

    Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
    The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • HELP! Problem viewing Youtube videos.

    Hello,
    I am having problems viewing Youtube videos. Everything was great until the other day. I have not changed anything on my computer to create this problem.
    Diagnosis:
    when viewing videos straight from youtube.com with Safari, it loads and starts to play the video & audio. after the first second the visual video disappears and the audio keeps playing. I can scroll throughout the video, but no picture.
    I do not understand, I have updated everything and still same outcome. It was working the other day fine and then boom, no video. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
    Thank you for you help,
    B

    Sounds like a problem with Flash. I'd recommend visiting Adobe's web site and updating to the most current version for OS X.
