Cannot View .mov Files

I have exported some files to .mov format on an external hard drive.
Recently I re-installed my system and found out that "some" .mov files cannot be viewed by QuickTime Player.
There's voice but no pictures.
Only some .mov files cannot be viewed. some are able to be seen.
So what's the problem and how do I fix it?
Thanks.

Sorry I can't help you. As I said it depends on the version you're using. Some versions say Movie Inspector some say Movie Info.

I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?

Does anyone have a solution for this???
"I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?"

Back up all data. Please read this whole message before doing anything, so you'll know what to expect.
Open Safari's preferences dialog and make notes of everything you would need to recreate the basic settings, such as your home page. That includes the settings of Safari extensions, if any are installed.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens and press return. A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. Your bookmarks, history, and AutoFill data will be preserved.
Test. If Safari now works as expected, recreate its settings and delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place. Post your results.

Using Aperture 3 and Lion I can no longer view .mov file

Using Aperture 3 and Lion I can no longer view .mov files from a Canon G11. I get a thumbnil which is a triangle with !. If I right click I can open it with Quick time. I cannot import any of the files into iMovie as it does not recognize them in Aperture or iPhoto. From other dicussions I tried removing 3ivvxVideoCodec.componenet from Quiktime Library and retarted with no success, so iI restored the file.

You are welcome;
there is another problem with videos, that might apply in your your case, when you reimport the videos, after you deinstalled the codec - the location you are importing from, and the permission settings, see this post:
Re: Aperture cannot read newly imported video since Lion upgrade.

I have a new Apple TV which is working fine except that I cannot access .mov files which are in my iTunes Library. How can I get to these? I can run them on my computer and select Apple TV on the screen, but the Apple TV goes to a black screen

Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

Cannot view pdf files in browser

brand new imac cannot view PDF files in browser but the PDF's can be viewed if downloaded. All the data in the PDF online have question marks instead, maybe a missing font issue?

Have Adobe Reader installed? If so, disable the AdobePDFViewer.plugin resident in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins., restart, and try again. For font-associated issues, peruse Font Management in OS X

When you say that you have the same problem, do you mean that you are:
1. Not able to download Adobe Reader;
2. cannot view a PDF file;
3. or what?
Please be a little more descriptive of your particular problem or, better yet, start your own thread and clearly indicate which problem(s) you're having and what you have done, thus far, to correct the problem(s).

Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

Cannot view jpg files in full page mode. Contents of jpg files are enlarged so that it requires 4 pages to print one page.

When people send me jpg files that contain a page of information, I cannot view the file in full page mode. I can only view 1 quadrant of the page at a time. If I print the jpg file, it uses 4 pieces of paper (1 quadrant per page). Others who receive this file can view it fine.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== It has always worked this way.

There is an option for the Initial View that is "Magnification:" "Fit Page". And this works for the initial page when the PDF is opened and it does not matter what the page size it, Acrobat/Reader will automatically fill the screen with the page. If you want the zoom type to change with each page then you need add a page open script to each page to set the pages zoom type to "zoomtype.fitP"
this.zoomType = zoomtype.fitP;

I cannot play .mov files (from iPhone) in Premiere Elements 10.

I cannot play .mov files (from iPhone) in Premiere Elements 10. Is there a solution?
It used to work fine. I wonder if the problem has something to do with the recent iPhone update. Is there any Premiere update I can download?

Well, if it used to work... and then you updated your iphone and now it does not work... that seems to ME like the iphone update changed something in the files
But, exactly what is inside your mov files?

We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you.
What happens when you try? Do you get an error message? If so, exactly what does it say?
What version of Premiere Pro? Have you installed the recent updates? What operating system?
Does this happen for all .mov files or just some? Has this ever worked before? What version of QuickTime do you have installed?

Can't view .mov files in Organizer

Hi
I am in the process of moving my video footage from iMovie (Mac) to a Windows 7 PC with Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements.
On my Mac I have converted the files to .mov with the 'photo jpeg' codec, which seems to be a fair compromise between size and quality. (Sadly, iMovie has converted all of it to Apple Intermediate Codec on import, which seems to be absolutely impossible to handle on a PC, so I have to do something, since I don't have the original files anymore ...)
On my PC, the files play nicely in QuickTime - they even played in Windows Media Player before I installed QuickTime. (However, I don't see thumbnails/miniatures of the files in Explorer.)
But ... when I import to Elements Organizer, I can neither play the files nor do I see any thumbnails. In stead, I get this error message:
'The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the requiered compressor/decompressor (codec) installed'
Which I don't understand, since my system plays the files perfectly on itself.
If I try to add these files to a Premiere project, they do play back (but look awful), and I am able to export a clip (which looks OK).
But the whole point for me of using Photoshop/Premiere Elements was to organize my stills and video in the same application.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regarding the quality in Premiere Elements, do the MOV files have the correct dimensions?
For example, you expect 1920x1080 but are actually getting 1620x1080. That can happen if you forgot to unlock the aspect ratio during conversion on the MAC. You type in 1920 for horizontal width and then type in 1080 for vertical height, but don't see that the horizontal width was automatically adjusted to 1620. And off you go. That can make the video look bad in Premiere Elements, although it shouldn't affect whether you can view the files in the Organizer.
The MOV files shouldn't play back in Windows Media Player on a PC (at least on my system they don't), unless you have installed a codec pack or another application has been installed that installed a quicktime codec that allows playing MOV files in Windows Media Player.
When you are in Windows Explorer with the view set to Thumbnails, if you don't get a thumbnail image for the MOV files, you might be able to fix it with the Codec Tweak Tool. After installing and running it, click on the Thumbnail button and select the MOV option if it isn't selected. http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Codec_Tweak_Tool. I'm not sure that will have any effect on the view in the Organizer, but it's worth a shot.
