An error comes up when trying to play tunes quick time failed to initialise error-2096 and screen goes weird ?? frustrated.

An error 2096 comes up on screen when trying to play iTunes from quick time says to uninstall tunes then re-install !! Started to happen after last upgrade from quick +iTunes and is frustrating as can't play anything ,is on Windows XP and was fine till now! Thanks in advance.

Is your QuickTime working if you try to open it?
If you get a 2096 error, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1875
Otherwise see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1489
If your QuickTime works normally let me know.
The 2096 error has often been associated with compatability mode problems.
Otherwise try a complete removal of all iTunes related programs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Then download and install the version of Quicktime that does not include iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Check that it works
Then try installing iTunes.

  • Firefox hangs when trying to play YouTube videos. Ending task starts the video and application, but the same thing happens when trying to view the next video. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Task Manager shows that Firefox is still running. Clicking End Task restarts the video playing and application running (then I have to cancel the End Task and Close Program processes).

    Try uninstalling Flash Player 10.2 and install the previous version, 10.1.There have been a few reports of problems with Flash that have been solved by using the previous version. You can download the uninstaller for Flash, and get version 10.1 from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
    The Adobe archive files contain multiple versions of 10.1 for all operating systems so is quite a large download, the old-apps lets you just download the Windows versions that you require - http://www.oldapps.com/flash_player.php
    You can also try disabling hardware acceleration on Flash to see if that helps. If you can access any Flash content, right-click on it and choose Settings. In the first section of the settings is the option to enable/disable hardware acceleration.

  • Help please...iphone5 when trying to make a call, after hitting green button to make call, screen goes straight back to keypad and all incoming calls go straight to voicemail, any ideas please? Everything else seems ok. No problem with sim or carrier

    Hi...I have just obtained a secondhand iphone 5.  I'm not technically minded  and I don't understand 'geek speak' so please be gentle.  I have done all I can think of to bottom this problem. I have switched on and off.  Tried different o2 sims (including 2 brand new) that I know are fine, restored to factory settings, changed carrier from 'Auto' to O2 and spent ages on line with o2 chat but everything at their end is absolutely fine. Everything on the phone seems to be working apart from the phone aspect of things. All incoming calls go straight to voicemail and show on the phone as 'Cancelled calls' and when dialling out,  I can key in the numbers and get the keypad tone (not dialling tone) but as soon as I press the green key to make the call, all that happens is the keypad pops back up onto the screen. The phone was bought on ebay as an o2 phone (the photo showed Giffgaff on the phone's screen but I understand this to be one and the same?) and as being 6 months old but I have put the serial number into the support website and...surprise surprise..,it must be at least twice that age as the warranty has expired.  I have made 2 attempts to have a web chat with Apple Support,  have reached the 'You're all set, we'll be with you in 2 mins'  and have been left hanging there for over an hour on each occasion,  so I've given that up as a bad job!!  Any help will be much appreciated...and also, will Apple charge me £25 for each of the aborted chat attempts, please?  Over to you...hopefully and many thanks in anticipation.

    My phone works all fine when am in mumbai but as soon s i leave mumbai I am not able to make an otgoing call
    This is entirely a carrier issue.  If your carrier (airtel) doesn't provide service outside of Mumbia, this has nothing to do with your iPhone.
    i feel i need to change my brand

  • When trying to generate a docx RH8 fails to save the document and crashes

    Hi all,
    I am trying to generate a docx with RH8 under Win XP Pro Japanese localization, and shortly after the conversion starts, I begin getting warnings that RH "Failed to save the Word Document after appending a malformed topics:" and then gives the name of the topic. This is happening for all topics, though it generated fine previous to the last changes I did in the project.
    The changes I did in  the project were just additions of topics the usual way. No importing of any kind, just copy from Word and paste in RH8.
    I suspect a RH corruption, however if I could avoid reinstalling RH, it would be awesome.
    I just repaired Office 2007, as I was thinking that Word might be the problem, however the same thing happens, so my best guess would be reinstalling RH8.
    Any ideas as what could be the problem?
    Thank you,
    Bogdan

    I reinstalled RH8 and managed to generate the printed documentation normally.
    So the problem was RH8 which got corrupted without any apparent reason.

  • Unable to load media error when trying to play a video in Sharepoint 2013

    My team consistently gets an error when trying to play a video in SharePoint 2013. I can upload it, pick a thumbnail and save it.  When anyone else goes to the intranet site and tries to play the video, they get a media failed to load error.
    I have tried mp4 and wmv formats. I at first thought it had to do with the codec used in Camtasia to create the video, so I encoded it in Microsoft Encoder to a wmv and it still fails. All of the videos I upload fail for other users. If someone else uploads
    a video, I get the error and cannot play the video.  If I look at the library in Explorer, the video file is missing but the subdirectories for additional content and thumbnails are present. For the videos I upload and can play but everyone else
    gets the error, I see those subdirectories as well as the video file itself.

    Hello AndyDryva
    If you have the latest version of iTunes and the error code is still happening, then the next thing is to remove the SC Info folder on your computer. Check out the article below on how to do that.
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

  • Unknown error occurred when trying to play film clip in Facebook.

    Since the latest update I have problems when I want to watch film clips posted on Facebook.
    This only happens with clips that are shown "in" Facebook, if it's a link to a clip outside of Fb it's not a problem.
    When trying to watch a clip it says, either directly or various times into the clip, "An unknown error occurred when trying to play a film clip".
    if I try over and over again the clip finally plays to its full length but it really annoys me.
    Anybody got an idea?

    We got some reports of this lately and as you say, it only happens in Facebook.
    Try clearing data for the Facebook app under Settings -> Apps and se eif that helps. If not, please see this thread: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Z1s/Facebook-Videos-not-playing/m-p/727861

I have downloaded every latest versions of Java, Flash player, Sokwave flash player and i uninstall and reinstall all of them plus the plug ins of Firefox and the Firefox (at the end) when i put the last version 9.1 .I have this problem from updating the v8.0 when mozilla team turn off my java plug in as old (and so many others) but there isn't any new version and i can't uninstall it!.
    Please give me a comprehensive answer to every possible direction. Thank you!

  • 'An unknown error occurred when trying to play the...

    Hello,
    I have had a BT Vision package for a few months but we recently moved house and wanted to transfer our services. Since moving in, we have got the telephone, internet and TV channels working however we are struggling with the additional TV services (i.e. catch up, recording, on demand).
    Everytime we try to play something on catch up or via on demand, or try to play a recorded programme, it attempts to load but then the following error message appears at the bottom of the screen in a red box - 'An unknown error occurred when trying to play the video OutputProtectionEnableFailed'
    I have phoned BT's technical department on several occasions who have not been able to resolve the issue. I have tried Googling this error message and searching BT's website however I cannot find any comments about this error. BT have offered to send a technician out however will automatically charge £99 if this is an error with the cable rather than the BT box. This is a lot of money and I am not able to risk this potential charge when I'm not sure what the problem might be.
    If anyone know's what might be causing this , or has had the same error message themselves, I would be very grateful to know.
    Many thanks,
    SHyde

    when trying to play songs from library, getting message saying original file could not be found .. my full library all says the same .. can anyone help ?

    Hello Ceeclass,
    I suggest this article named iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408.
    It should help you locate the media that is not playing in the iTunes library.

  • ITunes shows time out error when trying to play on Airport Express.

    Time out error when trying to play on Airport Express. This started with an iTunes update, problems has to be with iTunes, Airport Express appears to be communicating fine, even shows when speakers are not connected.

    Same here, though on XP. Have tried cleaning registry, reinstalling, deleting preferences. Created a new user with no library and I have the problem there, too, so it's not the library.
    Is there no one to call about this??

  • HT1338 i've been getting an error when trying to play online games saying that i need to have the browser in 32 - bit mode. my browser is in 32 - bit mode but the msg keeps coming up and not running the game

    i've been getting an error when trying to play online games saying that i need to have the browser in 32 - bit mode. my browser is in 32 - bit mode but the msg keeps coming up and not running the game

    I dunno, that doesn't make any sense to me.
    I just shut down and rebooted into the SnowLeopard partition and took a peek at the preference panes.  There are only 3 that run in 32 bit only.  They are all 3rd party, and none of the prefpanes are non Intel.  Like I said, I have never owned a PPC machine.  Anyhow, SnowLeopard doesn't even have an iCloud prefpane, or a combined mail, contacts, and calenders prefpane, and the ML security and privacy prefpane is all new as well.  The software update prefpane is Intel and 64 bit in both SnowLeopard and Lion.
    As to the triple boot, unless I'm totally mistaken, what I have here is, in essence, 3 seperate descrete computers in one box.  All using the same hardware. but one at a time.  I wouldn't know how to get more than one running at the same time, without using a virtual machine, even if I wanted to.  (Which I don't)  I do sometimes transfer files from one to another using the shared folder, but other than that, they do not interact.  How could ML system preferences be trying to launch prefpanes from a totally different machine?

  • Error when trying to play Keynote show on secondary display (Snow Leopard)

    Hi.
    I'm getting an error message when trying to play keynote presentations on a secondary display. I get the same message with every file I try:
    "Keynote cannot play your slideshow because an error occurred."
    The files will play fine with my displays mirrored, or on just the laptop. Never had any problems before Snow Leopard.
    The secondary displays are 1. Apple Cinema Display, and 2. A Sanyo video projector. I get the same error in both cases.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.
