  • Missing QuickTime Plugin.plugin

    Hi,
    I have a huge problem with QuickTime Player that it doesn't running very well with Safari, Chrome, and Mozilla. It sometimes freeze and disconnected. I saw other people have similar problems like this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2230875&start=30&tstart=0
    I tried to look in Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and noticed that I don't have any files in there even missing QuickTime Plugin.plugin. I still have QuickTime 10 and 7 installed. Does anybody know what is going on? Could you please help me how to fix it.
    Thanks!

    >>i dont want to reinstall the whole OS. will it delete all the apps and settings?
    No, those should all be retained, only OS components will be replaced, but of course the combo & other updates will be required afterwards.
    >> the volume doesnt meet the requirements for this update.
    WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
    something amiss in the system, that is checked for as part of the installation (might be just a version number) - the Installer.log, visible in Console application, may be more specific.
    >>but i can copy manually the quicktime plugin using pacifist???
    You can indeed - extract it from the combo or grab it from another mac or backup. Speaking of which, do make some if you don't already have some; doubly so since something obviously happened to that plugin & additionally another item has been changed so that the installer, 'won't'.

  • Missing quicktime plugin..drives me crazy

    Hi 2 all,
    I am on 10.6.8., macpro early 2008.
    Whenever i want to see a quicktime movie on a site in safari, it shows met the missing quicktime plugin question mark.
    However, I looked in the internet plugins folder and the quicktime plugin is really there.
    I tried several things:
    - re-installed quicktime 7.6.6
    - removed all internet plugins except the quicktime plugin from the internet plugins folder.
    - deleted safari preference file
    - deleted quicktime preference file
    - looked at the permissions for the quicktime plugin ; they seemed ok.
    - de-installed perian.
    I googled around for the problem and it seems i am not the only one, but i couldn't find a solution that works for me.
    BTW: i already had the problem in 10.6.7, so upgrading to 10.6.8. (combo update) didn't make  difference.
    This is really driving me nuts.
    Does anyone has a briljant solution for my problem ?
    I very hope so..
    Thanx in advance !
    Kind regards,
    Rob.

    Thank you for your response.
    I had Perian 1.2.3 installed, so no solution.
    I even thought Perian was the culprit, so i de-installed it : no solution.
    I re-installed it : no solution.
    Kind regards,
    Rob.

  • Firefox 4 Beta 2: Missing Feedback Button and UI is stretched

    I had been using Firefox 4 Beta 1 since it was released last month and last night updated to Beta 2. I turn on my computer this afternoon, launch Firefox and I see something very strange. The feedback button is now missing and the back button which should be a circle is oval shape(stretched vertically). I am also not seeing the AERO effect that I did just yesterday and only the title bar is opaque.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == Today

    I just removed the Test Pilot addon. My Feedback button returned!
    It seems that in the Beta versions, it's not Test Pilot, but the "Feedback" addon which gives you the option to send feedback!

  • Missing Quicktime plugin?

    Whenever I try and veiw Quicktime contnet online, I get Safari's "missing plug-in" window. Yet the quicktime plug-in IS installed, and is also present in my Internet Plug-Ins Directory in ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins. Why, then is the plug-in not functioning correctly/not being able to be read? I already tried re-installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 Combo Update, and that did nothing. Hope someone can help.

    Whoops, had the wrong folder. Here's the list of items in the Plug-Ins directory in the Library on the boot drive.

  • Missing quicktime plugin, how do I get it back?

    Somehow I am missing the quicktime plugin. How do I get it back

    Are you sure it's missing?
    Open Safari and look under the Help menu to see installed plug-ins. Newest is 7.7.3.

  • Tiff (or tif) file created in Photoshop is not displaying in Firefox 2 or 3 with Quicktime plugin

    I embedded a tiff file that was created in Photoshop but it is not displaying in Quicktime/Firefox.
    It works in other browsers but not Firefox 2 or 3. And another point is that if the Tiff file is created in any other graphics application then it works!
    It leads me to think that Photoshop might be adding some metadata to the file that Quicktime/Firefox is not liking.
    Any ideas on what might fix this?

    There are different types of TIF files with different kinds of contents (compression schemes, channels, bit depths, etc). It is no surprise that you might get different results with different browsers/plugins.
    What kind of TIFF are you using? Why are you not using a more standard web image format that does not require the overhead and hassle of an optional plugin?

  • Quicktime Plugin/Firefox stops playing mp3 after a few seconds

    We've run into a problem with Quicktime Player in Firefox (Win XP) only playing the first few seconds of an mp3. It doesn't happen with all mp3s, but out of the five we've tested four showed this problem... only one of the five played through to the end.
    When accessing the mp3 file, quicktime plugin loads with the big Q, takes a few seconds (i.e. seems to be downloading the full file), displays the controller, then starts playing. The progress bar moves quickly to the right and stops when it reaches the far right. For some of the mp3s it's only a second or two, for one it is about 8 seconds. The ones that only play for a second or two are regular music mp3s of about 3-5 minutes in length. The one that plays 8 seconds, is really 17 minutes, 42 seconds long.
    All of these seem to play fine with the Quicktime plugin in IE. And all the files play fine in iTunes and Quicktime as local files as well as streaming.
    The music files are mp3s generated by iTunes using the "Convert to MP3" function (original files are m4a files from the iTunes store).
    The longer file (a podcast) was generated by a third party, so I'm not sure what tools were used to generate it, however I've tested two versions generated by iTunes that also did not play past 8 seconds:
    - Original encoding with ID3 tags converted to a different version by iTunes
    - New encoding generated by iTunes using the "Convert to MP3" function
    (FWIW, renaming the files doesn't make a difference either.)
    I have confirmed that this is happening for a colleague of mine on his computer as well.
    Reloading the page/mp3 file (F5), force-reload (control-F5), disabling the cache (using Web-Developer Plugin, or Firebug), clearing the cache (through Firefox's Options->Advanced->Network->Offline Storage settings, or through "Clear Recent History") ... none of these seem to make a difference.
    However, I did notice that for the files that weren't working, using Firebug's Net panel, it looks like the plugin starts *and finishes* playing the file before the file is completely downloaded (i.e. the player stops playing and the Net panel still shows the file downloading -- usually for a few seconds more before it is completely downloaded).
    (And now the one mp3 file that was playing fine is no longer playing. It too just plays a second or two then stops...)
    This is with Firefox 3.6.3 and Quicktime Plugin 7.6.6 on Windows XP Pro.

    (Oh, and ignore my comment earlier that this mp3 stopped working. I got confused back there with all the various tests... This file does play fully. The player also waits until the file is fully downloaded before starting to play... As opposed to the others where the player starts and ends playing before they are downloaded completely.)

  • Quicktime plugin 7.7.1 crashes on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox plus missing in codecs to render on video programs.

    Hi all,
    I'm going to assume that this problem is fairly new because there haven't been any solutions to the previous folks who reported a similar situation.
    I discovered the problem when I was trying to render a video file to a quicktime .mov format and the quicktime codec was missing. My substitute for that was H264 which was fine but nothing like having quicktime.
    Second time this quicktime plugin was having problems was when I goto the apple website to check out trailers and the plugin crashes without even trying to load the video.
    I have Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 the latest version.
    Thanks in advanced all!

    Solved my problem.
    I didn't mention that I had Flip4mac to play WMV files and so I removed the Flip4Mac component/plugin completely and we are now back in the quicktime game!

  • No animation or videos will play from Firefox, but other browsers still work fine. I have checked plugins and even updated to the Firefox 14 beta - no fix

    As of yesterday no animation or videos will play from Firefox, but other browsers still work fine. I have checked plugins and even updated to the Firefox 14 beta today, but this did not fix the problem.
    this problem started yesterday; before then there was no problem.
    I have updated everything I can find, and ran a system restore and disc clean.
    The problem still persists. What am I missing here?

    This happened to me too. This problem started suddenly with no changes made on my part. I had 11.2 Flash version with Firefox 13. I tried updating to the new Firefox, same problem, then updated to Flash 11.3. I even uninstalled RealPlayer.
    I read a solution on another forum and it was as easy as clearing my cache. Everything works fine now (even after reinstalling RealPlayer and allowing the download button function).

  • The quicktime plugin doesn't play mp3 in Firefox

    I've got a webpage with <a href="audiofile.mp3" target="a_frame">link text</a>.  This page is part of a website that I'm webmaster on.
    Clicking on the link always plays the audio in Safari but is inconsistent in Firefox in my iMac (OSX 10.6.8).  Sometimes the file plays but mostly the click gets ignored.  I'm using Firefox 5.0.1 and the Quicktime plugin is 7.6.6.
    I've tried this page on PC based browsers.  Chrome works every time.  IE mostly works but sometimes the audio plays but the player controls aren't displayed.  Firefox is inconsistent.
    I've tried disabling other plugins.  Any ideas?

    Your "direct link" code doesn't give any instructions to any browser plug-in. Without instructions each different page visitor will get different behavior. Some visitors settings would download the file and others would play the file using a different browser plug-in (Real Player or WMP for example).

  • Ever since I installed Firefox 4, my QuickTime plugin crashes when I view a certain web site.

    This never happened with the previous versions of Firefox. The latest version of the QuickTime plugin is installed.
    Since posting this, I've updated to Firefox 5. The same problem continues with the newest version.

    I was able to stop the crashing by give the embed tag a non-zero height.
    Originally I had a zero height and width on the embed sound tag on my pages. That worked fine until FF4, after which the Quicktime plugin crashed. Just updated my pages to have zero width and one height. The embed still does not show, but it no longer crashes the Quicktime plugin.
    Perhaps some smart FF developer would know why this work around fixes the crash.

  • I've upgraded to firefox 4/snow leopard and now my .avi's won't play using the quicktime plugin. What am I doing wrong?

    I'm unable to play .avi's in Firefox 4 that worked fine in Firefox 3. I just get a blank page. I've also upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard (prior to upgrading Firefox) since the last time I viewed them.
    I'm serving these files from my local harddrive so the url starts with file::
    I believe these were displayed using the quicktime plugin. Firefox reports my current quicktime plugin as version 7.6.6
    I need to get this working because I'm giving a talk soon, and I've been using references in my talk pdf to link to the movies.
    ======
    Just checked, and my movies play fine in Safari. Crud. I'd rather not have to switch to Safari as my default browser. Yuk.

    Update: Turns out this is only a problem when the .avi is stored locally and served locally. I uploaded the file to a server and then pointed Firefox there. In that case it displays just fine. Weird.
