Cannot View Movies

I am running the latest version of Quuicktime, 7.2.0 on a G3 running 10.4.9
I am unable to view movies but the audio component works,
Any suggestions?

After buying my MacBook Pro I updated everything including QT. As a result QT 7.2 simply didn't play any of my divx avi files. Before adopting the rude way, I obviously tried to update/replace all of the components including: Perian, DivX, Flip4mac. No way. I then forced a downgrade to ver. 7.1.6 using Pacifist (a package manager) and as a result I put the hole system in danger. It was in a total state of malfunction. I had to restore the system with the cd. Fortunately it kept my home! But I now run ver 7.1.6 and I do NOT have any intention to update it. I use Pro so I don't have any necessity of full screen support or else. Maybe if Apple will release a stable version I will consider the update. But for now, "nowing it is not installing it".

The big "Q" or a "?" cannot view movies

Have just upgraded to the iLife08 and I am happy (so far) except for not being able to view my own movies I host online.
with iWeb I have some movies. I published and its all good, except that I cannot view them with my mac. I boot up my Win laptop and I can see everything. I have tried to disable the flash settings in the system pref panel like I have read in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1065787&tstart=0
but it does not help.
As well a friend on a mac tried to view my site and he cannot see the movies OR my hosted galleries. What do I have to do to get this to work? I know its not a iWeb problem since my PC will work with the site.
Thanks.

here are some of the pages that wont load
http://web.mac.com/bklord/TJL/OurAlbums/Pages/Theperformance.html

When I use Safari I cannot load the videos. even if I leave it load for a couple minutes. When I use Firefox it will load the files just fine. So its related to safari i guess. I will cross post this in the Safari section as well.
Safari 3.0.3
Quicktime 7.2
(when my friend tries to load the pages with Safari 2 he has problems as well, I dont know if this is a beta related problem.)
Thanks

Cannot view movies purchased via iTunes at iPhone 5

The movies purchased at Apple Store (*.m4v both SD and HD quality) were successfuly transfered to iPhone but I do not see them in Video and (as a result) cannot view them.

When you mention restart is that unplugging the ATV from the AC then plugging it back in?
yes
I have not done this, but I have shut the unit down (light off) then turned it back on (light on). This did not work.
that is just standby mode, not restart.

Cannot view movie from site

Whenever I go to the NRK website (for instance:
http://www1.nrk.no/nett-tv/klipp/544484 )
I cannot view the movie.
I have downloaded Silverlight and that helps for Firefox and Opera but it does no good for Safar 4 in Snow leopard.

there are a few ways you can force SSL.
I wonder if using the Server.app to do it directly would be the most robust?
Going to Server.app and selecting Websites ->"Server Website SSL" -> "Redirects Edit..."
Hit the "+" button and then select "When users visit: This website", "Redirect them to: Server Website (SSL)"
Alternatively you could create a different website (SSL) to redirect the defaults to, if you don't like the default name and would prefer something else.
Additionally, I have found that I get the "Calendar service is turned off" until after I use the website to log in as a networked user. The "profilemanager" however does redirect me to the login if I am not already logged in. Logged in or not, the "Change Password" link always comes up with a "Changing passwords is turned off" message unless one has the "Allow users to change password" checkbox checked in the "Server Website SSL". When it is checked off, this link works as expected, allowing you to log in to change your password.
Navigating around this "Server Website" is pretty lousey - you would thing that there would always be links available to the calendar, password reset, and profile manager parts in addition to the wikis, people, documents, and activities. Once you click on one of the last four, you lose any links to calendar, password or profile manager. Anyone have any edits to change the default website to include those links on every page? I would have thought they would live in the pull-down-menu at the top left, or a least a link to take you back to the top of the website.

Cannot view movie, screen goes black

Download movies from itunes (usually with difficulty...doesn't seem to want to transfer on 1st or more tries). Once I get the movie, the screen goes black part way through viewing. At this point, video folder also shows a black screen. Took ipad back to apple store, they were not sure what to do so gave me new ipad. Same problems. Is it my itunes account that is a problem? Is it a bad ipad cable? I can sync music and apps easily...am I doing something wrong? (movies are HD-SD and no warning comes up that they cannot be viewed on ipad).

I read your other post as well that was directed to me ...
"Question to Demo....I have same problem and tried your suggestions. Instead of black screen when I open Video folder or by searching for movie name, I get small white text at top of black screen and searching circle in middle of screen...this disappears after approximately 5 seconds. No movie."
I have no idea what the small white text might be, but in your post above you mention that moving the movies from the computer into the iPad has been difficult and/ or problematic, so I suspect that the problem with the movies has something to do with that scenario.
I don't believe that the problem lies within the cable if you can sync and transfer other content. You could try another cable if you have one and see if that helps.
Do you by any chance live in the U.S.? If you do, movies (most movies that is) can be downloaded again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID that you both them with. So my suggestion would be to delete the movie from the iPad and download it again - but download it directly on the device and not use iTunes at all.
If you are in the U.S. you can go to iTunes on the iPad and tap on the purchased tab. Then tap the "View" button in the upper left corner and bring up "Movies". If your purchased movie is in there, delete it from your iPad and download it again. You can delete the movie by going to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Videos and then swipe across the movie to bring up the delete button. Then go to iTunes and download it again.
You should not have to use another media player in order to play the movies from iTunes.

IPhone cannot view movies from dotMac site if password protected

I input a movie in a iWeb page, password protect the site, publish it and then try to view the movie with my iPhone. I can get into the page after entering my userid and password, but when I select the movie, I get an error message stating "Error playing movie". Called Apple Tech support they said it's my web service. When I told them the service was dotmac, the first tier tech said, "sorry sir, the personal support tech will not take your call."
Maybe if enough of you guys call they see this as a real problem so the software engineers can resolve it.

All you had to do was to disable directory browsing at the
server for this
account. Then nobody can just "browse" the file content of
any folder. Or,
just place a blank, default named file in the folder and
again, when you try
to browse the folder, you just get a blank page instead. No
need to
password protect anything.

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.

Cannot view movies in iphoto gallery

Hi,
Using iLife '08, i have published some movies and pictures on my web gallery. All my friends and family can view the movies with no problems on their computers. If i try to view my gallery via Safari or another web browser i get a message that says:
Quicktime is unable to play this movie. Please try again.
When i try with Firefox, i get the audio, but no picture. I have deleted my gallery and started again (giving it plenty of time to upload), but no avail.
Would anyone know if this is an issue with iPhoto/Safari or Quicktime and how can i fix it?
I'm on a new iMac (intel) with op sys 10.4.10.
Many thanks!

All my friends and family can view the movies with no problems on their computers.
This suggests that the movies themselves are fine.
Quicktime is unable to play this movie. Please try again.
When i try with Firefox, i get the audio, but no picture.
This sounds very much like a your Mac is missing the codec to play the movies properly. Try install Perian

Hi all,
If it helps anyone else-i converted the movies that weren't playing into .MOV files and all is working fine now, i can view them-still cant work out why friends and family can view the original clips, on their older Macs, but there you go.

I cannot view movie rentals or TV rentals.

I can see them on the screen, but when I select a Movie or TV show to view the information about it, I get the the 'busy' icon as if it is trying to retrieve information and then I go back to the home screen. This happens with TV shows as well. I never get to the information view of the selected title.
Also, when playing music from my iTune via Airplay, the behavior I used to see would be: Play music, after perhaps 30 seconds the apple TV would go to the "Now playing" screen which shows the cover art and current song position (time). Now I can see it is trying to do so, but I get the "busy" indicator and then back to the home screen, much like when trying to view a TV show or Movie. The music plays, but the Apple TV never goes to the Now Playing screen.
This all seemed to appear with the latest update. I could be wrong about this but the timing matches.
I tried to do a restore of the Apple TV, which succeded, but the issue still remains.
My network connection is good. I can watch Netflix, browse internet, Youtube, etc.

I cannot view movies at National Geographic website

I have 25 iMac, core i5, running 10.6.8. All are configured the same. All of them except mine will show the movie clips on the National Geographic website. Do I have a defective preference or am I missing a plug in? Everything on the computer is up to date. I have the Flip4Mac plug in. Other websites seem to run OK. Can anyone help?

Thanks! I have Adobe flash on all the computers and did the update that came out yesterday. These are all helpful hints. I also have updated Shockwave and the Flip4Mac add on. It is a real puzzler. On Monday I am going to add an account to the computer to see if the new account has the same problem. If not, I know it is a problem on my account only. Love the Mac. Would never go back to PC.

I am unable to view movies that are sent via Messages.

I cannot view movies sent to me in messages. I get a screen that looks like this: MOV_6373.MOV.mov QuickTime movie 1.2MB

What device are you trying to watch movies sent through messages on? If it's an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, try double-tapping the screen when it comes up with the movie name. If that doesn't work, try restarting your iPhone/iPod/iPad and turning off Wi-Fi or cellular data, depending on which one you're using, then turn it back on. Closing and reopening the messages app, or even all your apps, could help also. Keep in mind also that older iPhone models, like 3Gs, may not play movies sent through messages. If you're using a laptop and the messages app, I'd try the same things you would with an iPhone, but clicking instead of tapping of course. Those are the best suggestions I have, hope they help.

I cannot view rented movies (purchased through itunes) on my iPad2 in-flight

I cannot view rented movies (purchased through itunes) with the Video app on my iPad2 while flying. On a hunch, I purchased in-flight wifi and only then could I watch my rentals. What gives? Any suggestions on how to avoid paying for in-flight wifi is appreciated.

I don't think that he waited a day. From the wording, I concluded that he waited only minutes (during take-off).
I recall seeing this issue before. Apparently there is an issue related to copyright protection with some movies. I stopped flying when I retired so I didn't pay too much attention to the problem. Perhaps a search of the forum will shed more light.

Purchased movies on my ipad now i cannot view them

I purchased movies thru itunes and watched them in the past. Now for some reason when I try and watch a movie I get a message that tells me You do not have permission to access the requested resource.
Whats that all about?
When I click on videos it shows all my movies that I have purchased. They don't show the cover picture just a white square box with a screen in the middle and the name of the movie underneath it. So they are there I just cannot view them. It seems I know longer have permission....whatever that is.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Click on the device when it is connected to iTunes then under setup, specify which movies to sync.
