Broken Quicktime symbol when trying to play trailers and previews

Whenever I tried to play movie previews and trailers, a broken quicktime symbol would show up where the video would play and then nothing would happen. I uninstalled, and then reinstalled Quicktime and the same thing happens.
Does anyone have any ideas as to fix this problem?
Has this happened to anyone else?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The windows firewall in windows XP SP2 could possibly cause this. Open the Windows Firewall control panel and click on the Exceptions button to see if QT is being blocked.
Also it could be permissions related. I recall with QT6.5 if the permissions were set to deny for QuickTime qtr and maybe the Temp folder in C:\Documents and Settings you would not be able to view a trailer at the Apple site.
I'm not sure what permission files in QT7 would affect the trailer site I haven't got into the nuts and bolts of QT7 yet.

  • HT3180 When trying to play itunes and slideshows from my Mac book to Apple TV the small icon on the bottom right of the screen which switches between Computer and Apple TV doesn't always show up, and therefore the function doesn't work.  What's up?

    We are trying to play playlists and a slideshow from an Apple Macbook wirelessly to the Apple TV.  The small, upward arrow icon that appears on the bottom right of the screen (which allows you to pick Computer or Apple TV) doesn't always show up, and therefore, we can't get it to work.  Any thoughts?

    Airplay mirroring software will not work with anything below Mountain Lion 10.8 and an Apple computer from 2011 or newer.

  • Itunes/quicktime crashes when trying to play video podcasts and 3GP files

    Hello all,
    I've searched these forums and didn't see anything that might help me, so if know of any solutions posted already, please let me know. I have an HP laptop(AMD Turion 64 X2 2.0 GB processor, 2 GB or RAM) running Windows Vista Home Premium. I used to be able to play 3GP files at one time with Quicktime, but now I cannot. Then, the other day I tried to play a video podcast and it starts to play, then says, "Itunes has stopped working". Quicktime does the same thing with 3GP files. This was before my update to Itunes 8.0. It happpened with Itunes 7.5.11.1 or whatever the last version was. It obviously does the same thing with Itunes 8. I've tried completely uninstalling Itunes and quicktime, then reinstalling them both and I still have the same problem. Just a note: I tried playing the video podcast via Windows Media Playey, and it worked fine, except for no audio(I don't think WMP has AAC support) so I think something is conflicting between Itunes and my computer. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • Web page full of symbols when trying to play .mov files

    If I try to stram .mov files I get just a new web page with symbols all over it.
    Works fine though in firefox.
    Any ideas on what may be wrong would be very helpful
    Thx

    Well it used to work fine so I think so. When I try and run the installer you linked to I get a message saying that a later version is already installed- isn't it built into the latest QT releases? One thing I thought of- the original files I think were made on a mac so there were some resource fork files of 4K size. I deleted these as I kept trying to open them by mistake, but then after this trouble I dragged them back out the trash to the original location but it didn't fix the problem- could that have caused some sort of association problem?

  • Error message when trying to play movies and music videos

    I am getting the below message on my TV screen when i try to play movies via my iPad device through airplay. The irony of it is that I watched a whole movie before this problem developed.
    "This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP  is not supported by your HDMI connection. This content required HDCP for playback"

    Make sure your HDMI connection is secure, try a reboot

  • Quicktime crashes vista when trying to play .mov

    Hi all,
    When trying to play .mov files with quicktime it instantly runs very slowly and then I get the blue screen of death and the system crashes. I can play the same .mov files in window media player, no problems. I was just wondering if anyone had found this and if there were any fixes. I have re installed quicktime which is the latest version. The Laptop has 3gb RAM a 2.4ghz Celeron and runs very fast with everything apart from quicktime. Its only a week old and has done this with quicktime from the start.
    Thanks

    Okay, let's go digging.
    1. Download and install the Windows debugging tools from here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
    2. Go to Start, All Programs, Debugging Tools For Windows, Windbg
    Once you open Windbg, you will presented with a blank screen.
    3. Click on "File > Symbol File Path". Here you will enter the symbols
    path. Symbols are needed to effectively debug.
    The path will be:
    SRVc:symbolshttp://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
    4. Enter in this path and click OK. Now, go to "File > Save Workspace"
    so that your symbols path is saved for future use.
    5. Go to "File > Open Crash Dump" and load the file.
    (An "Open Crash Dump" screen will appear ... doubleclick "Computer", doubleclick "Local Disk", doubleclick "Windows", doubleclick "Minidump", and doubleclick on one of the minidumps in there.)
    *If you get a dialog at this point saying you don't have permission to open the file, try this:* OK out of the permission warning dialog. Right-click on the minidump file (In the "Open Crash Dump" screen), and select "Properties". Click the "Security" tab. Click the "Advanced" button. Click "Continue". Check the "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" checkbox, and click OK. Click Yes when the Windows security box comes up. Close the "properties" screens at this point, and go back to "Open Crash Dump", and try doubleclicking on the minidump again.
    You will/should get a message to save base workspace information. Choose no.
    Now you will get a debugging screen. It takes a little bit to run it,
    as the symbols have to be downloaded as they are needed.
    After the "bugcheck analysis" part of the screen comes up, look for the component that seems to be causing the crash.
    Let us know the precise name of the component. (Include any file name extensions like .dll or .sys.)
    If you can, have a look at several of your nine crash dumps. Are all the crashes being caused by the same component? If not, could you let us know the names of the various components being cited in the various crash dumps?

  • Quicktime not working after loading Lion. It is in Applications folder. It is dark when trying to play. Audio is there, no video. Is something set wrong?

    Quicktime not working after loading Lion. It is in Applications folder. It is dark when trying to play. Audio is there, no video. Is something set wrong?

    It is supposed to be dark.
    Is it all videos that don't display or just some. You may have installed something like Perian or Flip for Mac that translates the video codecs for Quicktime. They may need updating.

  • I'm getting an error when trying to play movies

    I keep getting this error when trying to play my movies:
    This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes.

    Same here. I hope it is something with Perian and not a new Apple view to not support anything from outside anymore as they have dumped front row too. They might want to force us into downloading movies through the iTunes store only?
    it's not just videos from the "outside" - i'm having this issue with brand new material downloaded from itunes.  specifically, doctor who season 6 part 2 and futurama season 8.

  • 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.

    I receive the error "requested URL is not supported on this network" when trying to play videos on my iPhone. Can you please advise how to fix this problem?

    Hi,
    You will need to re-instal iCal as an optional install from your OSX installer DVDs. Then run the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update.

  • 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.

  • Ipod nano 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video

    Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.

    Does this happen with any song or video you play?  If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.
