Can't play Quicktime videos in Safari after 1.1.2 update
My iphone would play videos perfectly, such as trailers from say http://iphone/pocketmovies.net.
However after an automatic update to firmware 1.1.2, although I can see the first frame of such movies in the Safari page, no play button is displayed. I can finger click to my hearts content.
Same with other sites, including the tutorial videos on http://www/apple.com/iphone
podcast from say the BBC have the Q/T symbol greyed-out.
Anyone else seen this behaviour? I can be pretty certain the problem was seen immediately after the 1.1.2 update.
It might depend on the video. For example, on www.apple.com, I can play the older Get a Mac adds, but not the most recent three. (The older ones have the blue triangular play button which launches full-screen video, while the new ones have the same button which, as others have said, gets crossed out upon launch attempt).
No idea if the new ones are set up differently.

Can't play YouTube videos on Safari
Hi I can't play YouTube videos on Safari any more. I have noticed that I can play videos on Safari but not on YouTube. When atempting to watch a video on You Tube it won't finish loading. It appears to load at first evenutally stops before the video can play. I then receive the "Plug-in Failure" message.
I am using Safari 5.1.7 on Mac OS X 10.7.4.
I believe I am using the latest version of Abobe Flash Player, which I downloaded when I first noticed the problem.
Please note I do not wish change to a different web browser. Thanks for reading.Yes, but I could be mistaken. Below is the version of Flash Player I am using:
Shockwave Flash
Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300 — from file “Flash Player.plugin”.

Can't play quicktime video in IE 11 on Windows 8.1
So, I wanted to watch the sweet new film of the iPhone 6, but after I click the "Watch the film" link, all I get is the player control... I can't get the video to play:
I'm running the latest version of IE 11 on Windows 8.1 64-bit. I also have the latest version of QuickTime v7.7.1.
For what it's worth, I also can't watch the video in Chrome, presumably because I have the latest version of Chrome 37.0.2062.120 m (64-bit) and the QuickTime plugin is only 32-bit and not compatible with this version of Chrome.I updated quicktime to 7.7.5, restarted my computer, and again I was not able to view the video. Just like the screenshot above, I can see the player, but I can't play the video. I then tried to re-install, by selecting repair as you suggested, and still it does not work.
Surely I'm not the only person with this issue. -
Can't play embedded videos in Safari
I'm using Version 6.0.2 and I can't play embedded videos. Youtube is fine but if someone includes a video in a blog post, for example, there's a big white blank space where the vid is supposed to be. It happens in both Safari and Firefox. I've paused AdBlock and can't think of what else might be causing the problem. I'm running Virus Barrier X6, if that's any help, although it hasn't been a problem in the past. Could it be an extension?
After some messing around, I found out that I can't press the red/white play button on the middle of the picture. For some reason, that isn't clickable anymore. Instead, if I press anywhere on the picture preview except for the red/white play button, then the video will play fine.
I Don't remember having to do that before, but at least I can watch embedded videos again. -
Upgraded to Lion and now I cannot watch QuickTime videos in Safari 5.1. Did not have this problem in Snow Leopard. QuickTime videos do play in Firefox. I cannot even play QuickTime videos on Apple's own website. Any suggestions? I'm using a Macbook Core 2 Duo.
Hi Sami,
I have partially solved my problem. I had software installed for a Twelve South BassJump (it improves the sound of your laptop speakers). When I removed that software, I was able to play videos on Apple's website in Safari. The company has beta software available from their website that is supposed to be Lion compatible but when I installed that the problem returned. But even with that software removed I still cannot watch videos on some sites such as Other World Computing.
I just got a new Macbook Pro yesterday with Lion installed from Apple and all video plays fine. So I believe there must be some compatibilty issues with some plug-in. I have Perian and Flip4Mac installed. I removed 3ivx and the problem still remains. I've read conflicting opinions as to Perian being Lion compatible.
Everything works fine in Firefox at this point so at least I have that to fall back on.
Check your system preference pane under "other" and tell me if you have any of the plug-ins I mentioned installed. Maybe we will be able to see a common culprit.
Let's keep each other posted.
Thanks,

How can I play QuickTime videos on an iPad?
Is there an application I can use to play/see QuickTime videos on my iPad? I have already tried to use the iTunes process Syncing photos/videos, but QuickTime videos don't seem to be recognized on my iPad, regardless of trying to download from my SDcard or my PC. I'm assuming I may need some type of a converter??
Yes.

Can I play YouTube Video from Safari to Apple TV?
Hi, I can play YouTube to my Apple TV from iPhone and iPad, but not Safari on my Mac? What Gives?
If your machine is 2011 or later, running 10.8 or later, and is connected to the same network as your Apple TV, you can use the Airplay feature to mirror the machine's display:
Note that Apple TV also has a built in youtube application found on it's main menu. -

Hi everyone,,,I just got a Touch, but can't play quicktime videos on my site or any other, besides the ones on the apple trailers page. Is it normal, do I need to update the software????? Thank you for your help...and Happy New Year!!!

I only tested it on 1.1.2 -
Watching Quicktime videos through Safari
I recently noticed that I am unable to play Quicktime videos through Safari on my iPod Touch 1st Generation. I first noticed this when I wanted to watch the new iMac video on Apple's site. I also tried to watch the newest Apple ad on the site. I was able to watch older ads on the site. Keep in mind I am not referring to Flash videos, I know they don't play. These are actual Quicktime videos (the ones on Apple's site which are not Flash). Any ideas?
It doesn't play on my iPod either. I have a feeling that the videos are not formatted for the iPod touch - wrong screen size, etc. Apple doesn't have a mobile site like many manufacturers so much of what you see is not optimized for the little screens.

Quicktime Pro 7.2 Can't Play Lynda Videos Chris Orvig
Hi,
I can't play Lynda videos from "Photoshop CS3 for Photographers" with
Chris Orvig.
They all have the .mov extension. Quicktime Pro gives an error msg,
"error -2048 Couldn't open the file <XXXXXFILENAMEXXXXX> because it is
not a file that Quicktime understands".
I tried Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic from K-Lite, but
neither can play it either.
All my other videos are playing ok. After the error I installed every
codec from K-Lite Codec Pack Full.
It's still not working.
How do I fix this, where do I find a patch?
I've sent an email to Lynda technical support.
Windows XP Pro SP2
Quicktime Pro 7.2
K-lite Codec Pack Full - All Codecs Installed
Windows Media Player 9I can also verify this (QT Pro 7.2 exporting to .mp4 not compatible
with video iPod [firmware 1.2.1 on both 5G/5.5G units]).
This results in the unusual situation where custom H.264 output
is operable on the iPhone but not the iPod.
Example: your iPhone should play
http://homepage.mac.com/retiarius/sample.elements.mp4
but it won't transfer to a video iPod.
Yes, the workaround is to 'export for iPod' or do the conversion
within 'iTunes', but this in many circumstances will generate
larger files.
The closest description of this situation is:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2006-September/015930.html
Perhaps Apple will release a video iPod firmware update soon
to get the 'uuid' atoms and whatever watermarking they are
using these days straightened out.
I'm surprised this hasn't been noticed more by video podcasters
who dutifully use Apple's own QT Pro encoding tool to optimize
filesizes via the tunable H.264/.mp4 codec settings. -
Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .
first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey.
example, occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive) the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
but that is very occasionally, most of the time qt won't convert the file, -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed , I don't know how that effects qt.
qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)
I have gone to VLC and MPlayerX for direct playback for drones and cameras. -
Flash player only works in administrator account. In other accounts safari can't play flash videos (youtube or others) while firefox can. OSX 10.5.8 safari 5.0.5 / latest flash player. I have tried almost everything. Reinstall safari and flash player, repair permissions.... Any help?
Repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the menu bar, quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, install the v10.5.8 combo update.
