My mp4's will play sound but no picture? This has only just started happening and the video files I am trying to play have worked fine on this mac before?

If you're running 10.6.8, Apple menu > Software Update. What version of QT do you have?

  • HT1338 OSX 10.4.11 update quicktime. Browser says out of date. Updater says up-to-date. Is this version no longer supported. How to update QuickTime and Java then?

    OSX 10.4.11 Updates to QuickTime and Java.
    Browser says out of date. Updater says up-to-date. Is this version no longer supported?
    How can I update QuickTime and Java then without upgarding? I wish to keep a back channel to OS9

    Mac OS X Tiger was discontinued years ago, and if Software Update doesn't detect any new update, it's because you are running the latest Java and QuickTime version for Tiger.
    Apart from that, I see that you have a G5, so the most recent Mac OS X version you can use is Mac OS X Leopard, another version that it's (or it's going to be) discontinued soon. PowerPC support is completely dead now, and if you want the most recent QuickTime and Java versions, you will need a Intel-based Mac with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, that have got the latest Java 6 versions and they are compatible with Java 7

    How do I update to Quicktime Pro? I have the codes but system preferences screen does not look like what is pictured in the instructions. What did I do wrong?

    Nothing. You need to download the QuickTime 7 player and apply the code there.

  • How to verify Security Update (QuickTime 7.1.6) is installed

    Hi,
    I manually installed Security Update (QuickTime 7.1.6) for Windows but I am not sure how to verify whether the update successfully installed or not. Is there any way we can check that the update is installed? Maybe file version? Hopefully someone can help.
    Thanks,

    If you install QT 7.1.6, it says 7.1.6 in the help screen. If you install the newly released security update, nothing changes to show the security update has been applied. It still says 7.1.6 in the help screen. Even running the patch manually, it gives no indication it has successfully installed.
    I am required to install this patch on about 200 clasroom machines but have no way to verify which ones get the patch and which don't. Apparently I can't even go around to each of them and manually verify.

  • How/ necessary to update old Quicktime (version 7.6.9)?

    For those of us still using Quicktime version 7 as an utility:
    Is it required to update QT 7 when using it with OSX 10.6?
    If so, how is it done?
    Version 7.6.9 is said to be an important security update, but maybe just when used with OSX 10.5?
    Thanks

    Is it required to update QT 7 when using it with OSX 10.6?
    If so, how is it done?
    The normal OSX update will update QuickTime if needed.
    Version 7.6.9 is said to be an important security update, but maybe just when used with OSX 10.5?
    The recent 7.6.9 update is for Windows only.

  • How can i get quicktime to work on my windows vista

    everytime i download the latest update of quicktime, it says it cannot find the "active x control" can someone explain to me what that is, and how can i get quicktime working so i can have my iTunes running again

      I was just on a windows computer with some horsepower power. I can't get it, the video would play fine, but no audio. Perhaps Jon could take a look? I can't pick up anything on it, other than it's a .mov
    I no longer have home access to a Windows machine or Mac running Windows OS. As I am not an HTML programmer, I did not check the page coding but had no problem playing any of the video content on the linked page using the Safari browser. Spot checked the source files and found them to be typical MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) files with a frame rate of 30 fps using CABAC entropy Main Profile Level 3.0 (SD) and Level 3.1 (HD) encodings in MOV file containers. As to audio, only one file—Video+(1).MOV (the "Raven, Salma and Kenneth" Claymation Practice file)—contained an AAC (LC) audio track. Except for the use of capitalized extensions (which I don't think should cause a problem), the videos themselves look standard and should be playable on any system using any compatible media or plug-in players that support standard MPEG-4 content and the MOV file container.
    Sorry I couldn't help more.

  • How can I use QuickTime SDK to get Compress format of Video stream?

    I can get uncompress video stream like this:
    QDerr = NewGWorldFromPtr( &m_hGWorld, k32BGRAPixelFormat, &rcMac,
    NULL, NULL, 0, (char*)m_pVideoBuffer,
    m_sAVFileInfo.sResInfo.ulWidth*4);
    then the m_pVideoBuffer is uncompress video stream. How can I use QuickTime SDK to get Compress format of Video stream? I could change "k32BGRAPixelFormat" to other format,use other API or something?
    Could someone have the method? Best Wishes!

    Firefox, I would make sure you update your Desktop to Firefox 14.0.1, as the version you are running is quite old and out of date.
    Then, do you have your Sync Recovery key, username and password? If you do, you can re-add Firefox Sync to your computer.

  • How do you extract QuickTime favorites?

    Summary
    How do you extract QuickTime 7 Favorites?
    Narrative
    Approximately QT 7.6.1, you could readily extract Favorites in text format from com.apple.quictimeplayer.prefs; however, somewhere in the recent updates, QT started gnarling the data.
    Neither PrefEdit nor Property List Editor seem to enable you to extract the URLs in plain text format from com.apple.quictimeplayer.prefs. Neither allow you to select-copy-paste. Both separate the root URL (and binaryize it) from the sub folders and place them in different folders.
    How do you extract QuickTime 7 favorites?
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    As you are using Adobe Reader, extraction of pages is an option. You would require the Acrobat to this task for you

  • How can I get quicktime pro 7 running

    I bought quicktime pro 7 a couple of years ago and have a registration code.  At the time I used the program to make some time lapse movies.  I'd like to make a couple of time lapse movies again but quicktime pro 7 is no where to be found.  This probably ha something to do with updating the os between then and now.  The question is how can I get quicktime pro 7 running again?  The unlocking instructions I have for quicktime pro 7 that I received with the key do not correspond with what the system preferences now show.  Any assistance would be appreciated.  I am currently running OS X version 10.9.5 on an older iMac.

    Open the QuickTime 7 player(if it’s not installed, click here), choose Registration from the QuickTime Player 7 menu, and supply your key there.

  • Can't update Quicktime which won't let me update iTunes...HELP PLEASE!

    I have been trying to update to the latest version of iTunes but I can't even open iTunes because my Quicktime isn't updated. So I have tried updating Quicktime and I always get to the very end until it says "cannot save installed files saved in '/' " What does this mean?????
    How can I successfully save my installations of Quicktime? I have never had a problem with updating either of those until now...
    HELP ME PLEASE!

  • Updated Quicktime...now Mail won't open

    I updated quicktime yesterday and immedately afterwards Mail would not open anymore. It just bounces (usually just once) and then nothing. Anyone know how to fix this or how to revert to the previous version of quicktime?

    Actually, I have it on very good authority (Apple
    person) that you can install the combo 10.4.6 update
    and it will not step on SecUpd 2006-003 components
    I cannot believe this. The Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo Update would certainly overwrite files installed by the Security Update 2006-003 (e.g. Safari). Could this be a misunderstanding? The Security Update 2006-003 does not touch anything in the Mail.app bundle, could this be what that person really meant? I'm pretty sure reinstalling the Security Update 2006-003 is necessary if the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo Update is reinstalled on a system where the Security Update 2006-003 had already been installed.
    Also, I don't think that the Combo will alter the QT status.
    EDITED: I agree with you on this, but I'm not sure, so I thought it would be appropriate to be on the safe side and take that possibility into consideration.
    I suspect it is the Mail program that got damaged
    I don't think so. According to the Console error messages, Mail crashes right upon start up because there is something amiss in /System/Library/Frameworks/.
    Not sure QT re-install is needed.
    It could very well be that properly reinstalling the QuickTime update fixes whatever went awry in /System/Library/Frameworks/ during the first attempt. If not, then reinstalling the Combo Update will be necessary, indeed.
    I'll try installing the QuickTime update myself tomorrow (today here :-)) to see what happens.
    Regards.
