Cant get quick time to work

I've tried everything from installing the older software to the most recent. Cleared history, temp files, tried a couple of the codecs that are recommended. Nothing works. If I go to Google and open a video, the older software will show a torn 'Q' the newer software will show a question mark inside the 'Q'.
Can someonw tell me what could be wrong.

The video format often is in the suffix Ex: .avi, .wmv, jpg, .mpg and many many more.Do a Google search for 'video formats'.  You should be able to find Mac compatible software that will allow you to play your movie.  The vast majority can be downloaded for free.
As Andrew says VLC is good, but no format can handle all.
Ciao.

  • How do I get Quick Time to work on my computer again?

    Apparently I am old and a dummy and it seems I accidentally uninstalled Quick Time from my computer instead of uninstalling something else that I was intending to uninstall.  How can I get Quick Time back?  I've tried the download from the apple.com site, but it never shows up in a file other than some binary file and I don't have the option to "run" after download, just save to this binary file.  PLEASE can someone help me?  THANKS in advance for any and all help.

    Hi 1 olddummy,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  First of all, you are not old or a dummy.  I'm sure you can give me hundreds of examples of things you can do because of your knowledge and experience, so give yourself a break .   I just want to clarify .... are you using a Windows computer or a Mac?  I'm going to assume Windows and include an article for you that will explain how to delete the iTunes application and all of it's components (because Quicktime is tied to this program).  This will not affect your iTunes library, only the application itself.   Once that is done, you should be able to work with Quicktime again.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • Can't get quick time to work with windows thumbnail

    When I purchased a new camera, unlike my old camera that saved files as .avi and which allowed me to use the files with all software and which allowed me to view automatically the thumbnails for the .avi file, my new camera used the garbage .mov from apple. Result: i can't see what the files contains... NO thumbnails in windows! I was told to buy QUick time Pro to be apple to do this. I did what the quicktime "help" (misnomer) said to do: set poster frame, resave the file (try to save it as is, or as quick time mover). THIS DIDN'T WORKED. There was Ø supplementary information. The only thing that works is MANUALLY converting all my .mov from the camera to .avi using quicktime pro. I paid CAD$39 FOR absolutely NOTHING. Any suggestions?

    Please review the "stickied" threads near the top of this board, about syncing with Windows 7 and Vista.  It's all there. 
    After you've been through and tried everything there is to try, and still have problems, please post back with specific info about exactly what you've tried, what version of Windows 7 you have (32-bit or 64-bit), etc.

  • Quick time not working in safari after downloading flip4mac

    Quick time is not working in safari after downloading flip4mac. How do I get quick time to work within safari? It was working prior to flip4mac being installed but I need flip4mac for some websites.

    Hi
    Go to System Preferences>Flip4Mac>Browser
    Make sure the first two boxes are checked. Check the 3rd box if you want the QT controller to be displayed.
    Restart Safari

  • I cant get my camera to work it says its on but has no feedback, any ideas?

    i cant get my camera to work it says its on but has no feedback, any ideas?

    Here are my best suggestions for your camera problem:
    • If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
       suggestions do not help you, (the "reset" suggested there
       often restores normal function,) continue with the following.
    • Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
       download and apply the latest Combo Update for your Mac OS.
       If you are using OS X 10.7 or later, reinstall OS X.
    • Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
       that completes the Combo update or reinstall.
    Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of the camera.  For hardware help, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
       Unless you have a current backup, make one now.
      Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
    "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."

    I am trying to use the font Caviar Dreams on my new web site but i cant get it right,
    Can anyone tell me what is wrong.
    And also i would like some help with IE9, it seems the header is displaying in blue instead of black on IE9 and 10.
    My web site adrees is marcoalexwebdesign.site11.com  .

    Thanks ayway.

    There is something wrong in your settings. As the settings for each email provider are different you need to check your email server's web site for instructions. Most now have specific instructions for the iPhone. Also see Apple's instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1385

    Could you capture your screen and post it. Have the layers panel open and any layers that are collapsed, expanded. We will need to see the entire screen, as some information in the tab is important as well.
