Error message: QuickTime couldn't parse it: -43

Hello,
I recently borrowed a friends video camera to record a few 3-minute clips. In order to import the clips from the camera into my computer, I had to use software called "ImageMixer 3 for Panasonic". It would not allow me to import directly into iMovie as I have been able to do with other video cameras.
In any case, the clips are now on my computer and I would like to import the clips into iMovie so that I can edit them and paste them together into one movie. When I try to import, I get the error message "QuickTime couldn't parse it".
Can anyone help me? I used to have software on a previous computer that allowed me to parse video clips out in smaller files. However, I no longer have that computer.
I am using a Mac Pro Dual 2.66 running on OS10.4.11. I have iMovie HD 6.0 .
My video clips are now in my "Movies" folder and are approximately 225MB in size and are MPEG files.
Thank you for your help!! :-}

I searched in Google for "QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -2048" and found this thread.
I was trying to improt a YouTube video into iMovie that I had downloaded via the activity monitor in Safari. I was puzzled as to why I couldn't import a YouTube file today when it had worked yesterday.
I then realised that I had not amended the file extension on the download to .flv - hope that this helps someone.

Quicktime will not open video files - QuickTime couldn't parse it: -2048

I just purchased a new Sony handycam so that I can make movies using iMovie. However, iMovie will not import the files from my camera and although the files show up on the drive as Quicktime MPEG files (with suffix MPG) neither Quicktime or iMovie will open the files. iMovie gives an error message saying "Quicktime couldn't parse it: -2048"
Can anyone help - I really want to open the files in iMovie so that I can make videos and I'm worried that my expensive new Handycam is a worthless purchase!
Thanks in advance...

Your files are MPEG-2 and you need additional software to view them in QuickTime:
http://apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2
and a different application than iMovie to convert the audio portion:

Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

QuickTime Error Message: "QuickTime Player quit unexpectedly"

Error Message: "QuickTime Player quit unexpectedly"
From the error report (sent to Apple):
          QuickTime 10.2 (603.6)
          Operation: Launch
          Application Specific Information: [565] stack overflow
Hardware and software configurations:
          MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display
           Mac OS X 10.8.2
Affects ALL .mp4 files (double-click and attempting to open file from within QuickTime)
Occurs when attempting to launch QuickTime by double-clicking an .mp4 file, or attempting to open an .mp4 file from the QuickTime menu. Attempting to open ANY .mp4 file results with this error message.
QuickTime is the default application for all .mp4 files. Reseting this option via the Finder "Get Info" had no effect. Changing the option to another video player (e.g., MPEG Streamclip) allowed the .mp4 files to play. Returning to QuickTime as the default player resulted in same error message (i.e., "QuickTime Player quit unexpectedly").
The video files (.mp4) are not the problem; ALL of the files open within iTunes, MPEG Streamclip, and other video players. The problem appears to be limited to QuickTime or something that is interfering with QuickTime.
Note that no external drives or other peripherals are connected to the computer when this error occurs, except for a Wi-Fi connection via an Apple Time Capsule (disconnecting the Wi-Fi did not resolve the problem; same error message occurred when attempting to open an .mp4 file).
No 3rd party QuickTime plug-ins have been installed.
QuickTime was working fine and playing ALL videos until the last week. No discernible usage pattern is evident for diagnosing the reason for the error message.
Note the exact same problem is occurring on two separate MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display systems, both running Mac OS X 10.8.2
Mac OS X 10.8.2 software is up-to-date.
Rebooting the system did not rectify the problem.
Two separate computers, both exhibiting the same problem with different .mpg4 files.
Any ideas?
The consideration of a reply is appreciated.

Resolve error in Firefox 7.0.1 - executing an auto log-on produces the following error message: XULRunner-Couldn't load XRE function?

Following an upgrade from Firefox 6.0.2 to Firefox 7.0, this error appeared in response to accessing Firefox! Executing an auto log-on produces the following error message: XULRunner-Couldn't load XRE functions.
Also, following an upgrade from V7.0 to V7.0.1, the same error occurs.
Following the In-place Upgrade from Vista Home Premium x64 to Win 7 HP x64, the RoboForm2Go taskbar is no longer on the program display page, rather it is confined to the bottom taskbar. This is likely due to a reported incompatibility between Roboform2Go and Firefox v7.0 (and 7.0.1).
Further, there was a failure of RoboForm2Go Log-ins from the bottom quick-start taskbar.

Ican't synchronize the IPAD I want to update to IOS 5.0. I get an error message: IPAD couldn´t be restored. Unknown error (14)

I wanted to update an IPAD II and when I tried to sychronize it through ITUNES (10.5.3) , get an error message: "IPAD couldn´t be restored. Ihas been produced an unknown error (14)
The IPAD all the time presents a screen with a cable trying to connect to iTunes
I uninstall and install again last version of ITUNES and update my operating system. I have a PC with WINDOWS 7.

Try a different USB port on the PC - do not use a hub. Disconnect any other USB devices that are not needed for the restore. This may provide more help.

Error Message: Quicktime failed to initalize error (-2096)

I can't open ITUNES. I have reinstalled quicktime andn ITUNES twice.....no help. Error Message: Quicktime failed to initalize error (-2096) Any suggestions?
If I were to uninstall ITUNES, then download it new, would the music on my IPOD 30G, sync back to the new ITUNES???

try this,,,,, this JUST worked for me, i had the same problem, error 2096. Go into your PROGRAM FILES folder, open the ITUNES folder. Right click on the ITUNES.exe icon, click COMPATIBILITY, then -uncheck- the box that says "run this program in compatibility mode for.....". After that you should be good to go!

HELP PLEASE! iMovie error message "_Sync_" couldn't be removed.

HELP PLEASE! I had to force shutdown my computer and now my iMovie Library won't open. I just get this error message: "_Sync_" couldn't be removed.
I was working on a movie within in iMovie and my computer was running really slow so I decided to shut it down for a little while. It wouldn't shut down and went to the gray shutdown screen and stayed there for a while so I held down the power button to force the shutdown. Now when i reopened iMovie my library that i created on an external harddrive won't open.
I can see the folders for the movies on my external harddrive but I dont even know how to open them separately from the program. The ".imovieevent" files won't even give me the option to open them or import them into iMovie.

Were you able to fix this? I have the same message now.

When installing Server 2008 Datacenter from disc, I get the error message "Windows could not parse or process the unattent answer file for pass [specialize].

This is a clean install from s disc onto a 3TB GPT drive. This is for testing. I'm not concerned with finding a more practical solution for this installation.
There is no image or answer file involved. But at the "Completing Installation" phase, I receive this error message about an answer file.
Has anyone else expecrienced this problem? The only results I find here are regarding actual imaging with answer files.
EDIT: [Redacted]
EDIT 2: Since this now happens with every single installation of Server 2008 on this system, I feel the need to keep this open and elaborate on my situation.
I originally installed Server 2008 on the 2TB partition of this 3TB drive. The partition type was MBR. I reinstalled it (there was a false alarm for malicious software) since it was a fresh install without updates or anything else installed. And for the
second time, it installed fine.
I decided to make the most of my 3TB drive and try GPT partitioning. So I went into the command prompt > diskpart > ran "clean" on the disk, then "convert GPT"
That is when I tried another install of Server 2008 and received this error message about an answer file.
I decided to convert it back to MBR and get on with what I wanted to test in the first place. So I went into Diskpart again, ran "clean", rand "convert MBR" and started the install. But this resulted in the same error message about an
answer file.
I went back to Diskpart, "clean"ed the disk, ran "convert dynamic" to make sure it was dynamic, then tried the install again, with the same result.
Now, I've tried installing on the disk as GPT, MBR basic and MBR dynamic. I've tried a different installation disc, as well. I got the same result. At this point, I'm going to switch hard drives, but I'm still open to input. Thanks for reading!

Hi,
As you swapped the hard disk, whether the same issue occurs again if you redo the same steps?
I asked "OEM or retail" because of this known issue:
"Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]" error message when you perform an in-place upgrade in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2425962
An answer file may already contain in the disc which causes the issue.
If issue still exists you can click Shift + F10 during the installation process to see the log. Check if the installation error for detailed information.

Error message while loading XML parser into db

I get the following error message while loading xmlparserv2.jar
ORA-29534 referenced object SYSTEM.oracle/xml/parser/v2/XMLNOde could not be resolved
ORA-29545: badly formed class: java.lang.NullPointerException
using XSU111 package

I had the same problem. I did a search of the forum looking for the error number (that's how I ran across your question). It seems that the xmlparserv2.jar (v2.0.2.8 or 2.0.2.9) which is included was compiled with java 1.2 which is incompatible with Oracle 8.1.5 (which is what I have and probably what you have). You probably need xmlparser v2.0.2.7.
Do a search on the error number, the post is from Steve back on June 8. I found the correct version of the xmlparserv2.jar in my copy of the xmlschema stuff (xmlschema_v0_9_0_0.zip). I don't know which version is in the current xmlschema
(v1.0.0.0) but it is probably the new version.
Steve will email you the correct version if you ask.
Eric

Hey jeight26,
When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you use this article?
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
If you haven't already done these steps, this section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.

Try posting in the iTunes for Windows area. You'll be more likely to get a quick and accurate answer there than you will here in the iTunes for Macintosh forum. Good luck.

ITunes shows error message, QuickTime doesn't respond! PLEASE HELP!

My iTunes doesn't open anymore, it shows that error message (iTunes needs to close. Send error report... etc). I tried uninstalling it, installing gain from the iPod CD, from the website, and nothing works. On Apple's support site it said I needed to uninstall QuickTime and repair iTunes, but my computer won't let me uninstall Quick Time, it doesn't work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 100 times, I have restarted my computer too and nothing seems to work.
I don't use Norton, I use McAfee. I don't know what else to do, somebody please help me solve this problem, I have been trying to fix it for WEEKS!
Dell Inspiron Windows XP

IT WORKS!!!!!!
This is unblievable, but iTunes is working, and all I had to do was install it in a different folder! Now both QT and iTunes work fine, my library is intact and I can update my iPod!
The only weird thing is that all the files on the library that are on my iPod now have that exclamation point, meaning I have to look for them, but that's ok, cause they are still on my iPod even after updating!
Thank a lot Katrina! I won't annoy you anymore!

Error message when using DOMParser.parse(file)

When I try to use the DOMParser.parse(file) to parse an invalid XML file against a XML schema, with the schema_validation feature set on, error message saying the XML file is invalid because it violates some constraints set in the schema. But I cannot find out how the error message is print. It is not caught as exception. May I know how can I detect the error in the code instead of viewing it as output?

The error message I got is like the followings:
[Error] abc3.xml:2:310: cvc-pattern-valid: Value '' is not facet-valid with respect to pattern '(\(\d\d\d\)-)?[\d]{8}' for type 'phoneNoType'.
[Error] abc3.xml:2:310: cvc-type.3.1.3: The value '' of element 'mobile' is not valid.
[Error] abc3.xml:2:318: cvc-pattern-valid: Value '' is not facet-valid with respect to pattern '[^@]+@[^\.]+\..+' for type 'emailAddressType'.
[Error] abc3.xml:2:318: cvc-type.3.1.3: The value '' of element 'email' is not v
alid.
May I know how can I catch these errors?

Windows 10 upgrade fails with error message "we couldn't update the system reserved partition"

HP and Microsoft both indicated my notebook was ready for upgrade to Windows 10, but when I tried to do the upgrade it failed - repeatedly - with the error message from Microsoft that "we couldn't update the system reserved partition." What to do?

The system reserved partition serves a purpose. If it is deleted, then the OS will not boot back up. In which case you are toast.ON THIS PAGE, it tells what the partition is used for.-The Boot Manager and Boot Configuration Data : When your computer boots, the Windows Boot Manager starts up and reads the boot data from the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) Store. Your computer boots the boot loader off the System Reserved partition, and it boots Windows from your system drive. I advise that you not do what CanhThanh is instructing
