HT3775 quicktime x does not open avi!!

HT3775 article states that Quicktime x supports avi formats. However, when I try to open an avi movie, it tells me it cannot open and the format is not supported!!! At one point it also told me that the codec does not exist. Any ideas?

For those with a similar problem, I read somewhere on the Apple forums that Metadata Hootenanny will add chapter tracks that appear correctly in QuickTime X. http://www.applesolutions.com/bantha/MH.html
I can confirm it works for me!!!! The chapter tracks show up in Metadata Hootenanny just fine, so it’s a matter of importing the file and saving it again with Chapter Track enabled. Yayayayay!

QT does not open AVI file

hello,
I have installed Perian but with Mountain Lion QT does not open AVI file (no audio and no video)
do you have any suggestion?

I am using QT pre-installed in Mountain (should be X)
QT X can only play files using codecs it is programmed to expect to be used in the loaded file container/with the loaded file's stated extension. For example, QT X will not play a "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 file with an MOV or VOB file extension but will usually play the file if the extension is changed to TS, MPG, or MPEG. On the other hand, the QT 7 Player tends to look at the internal header information and select a codec based on what the file says it needs for the actual playback. Thus, the QT 7 Player may frequently play files that the QT X Player does not play.
Besides supporting the the AVI file container, your QT system must also be configured to support the actual audio and video codecs contained in the AVI file and not have a "conflict" problem. For instance, Motion JPEG support for QT was dropped with the release of Lion. AVI files containing MJPEG video thay plays correctly under Snow Leopard will no longer play under Lion or Mountain Lion with additional support. In this case, Perian still provides such support. It also still provides support for DIVX, XVID, 3IVX, and similar third-party codecs commonly found in AVI containers. However, Perian support for such files can become conflicted if you have also installed the actual third-party codecs along with Perian and the different codecs fight over which is to be used for playback. This is why it is important to know the actual codecs used to create files using generic file containers like AVI and MOV and the codec components actually installed on your system, as well as, their potential for creating conflicts.
As to the actual playback of files, there are basically only three options (as indicated by the URL provided above:
1) You can conform the file and/or your system codec component configuration to play your files using a QT player app if possible,
2) You can use an alternative media player app the contains "native" support for the file containera and/or codecs used to create the files, or
3) You can convert the file to a compression format and file container that that is already natively supported by QT-based applications.
Since do not seem to know or are unwilling to identify the specific codecs causing a problem here, the only workflows left to you would be to try playing the file in an alternative media player which contains its own built-in codec support (e.g., VLC) or convert the files to something your current QT system configuration can handle (e.g., use a converter with built-in codec support like HandBrake).

Quicktime not opening .avi files

After I've upgraded to Lion, QuickTime stopped playing .avi movies.
I've Perian codec installed and I've tried to disable it and both with it enabled or disabled QuickTime does not work.
Moreover, I've another problem: after having selected the option "open this file always with VLC" the system is still not working properly since it keeps opening .avi videos with QT.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Remove Perian and restart.
Remove FlipFor Mac and restart (you are ?).
Install Perian and restart.
In Perian prefs plane : "desable" Load external subtitle
Work for me ! Good Luck.

Quicktime 10.4 does not open at all in yosemite

Please any idea on how can I solve this? how can I resintall it?
thx

Some aspects of you problem remain unclear. Are you saying that no "player window" opens, no "navigation window" opens, or the app itself does not open in the "Menu Bar" at all? Further, is the problem manifest itself globally or only in one user account? Nor is it clear if you are referring to the QT Player icon always being displayed in the dock or simply when/if the app is opened.
For instance, it is normal for a player window not to appear if no source media file was selected/opened via the finder. On the other hand, the failure of a navigation window or the app itself to open may indicate a system, app, or PLIST file (if still used) corruption problem. In the latter case, I would normally recommend switching to a secondary or guest user account to see if the problem is global or local to your primary account. If local, then you could either isolate/fix the local issue and fix it (e.g., locating and deleting an associated PLIST file if still used); create a new "primary" account, transfer required resources from the old to the new user account, and then delete the problem account; or simply re-install the entire system.
Unfortunately, under the latest version of Yosemite, the QT X Player is considered "essential" and the system, under normal circumstances, will not allow you to remove or delete the app any longer—probably because users in the past deleted the player on purpose or by accident on a wholesale basis and Apple does not provide downloads of the QT X Player independent of the operating systems with which they are associated forcing novice users to re-install their entire system or forcing more experienced users to re-extract the compatible player software for re-installation. Unfortunately, while it is still possible to re-extract the QT v10.4 Player from the installer package, the same system routines that prevent you from removing/deleting the player also prevent you from copying/replacing the current plater in the "Applications" folder.
Basically, what you should/can do depends on the specific nature of your problem and how well versed you are with the system.

My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

I accidentally deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved it. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open. Is there a fix for this without my Ipod?

Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

Premiere elements 12 does not open

i have photoshop and premiere elements 12. the photoshop works fine, but the premiere does not open. when clicked on the hard drive spins for a short time but nothing opens. using windows 7.

etvicb
When you go to the Control Panel/Install Programs, is Premiere Elements 12 shown to be installed on the Windows 7 (assumed 64 bit) computer? After the program installation and restart of the computer, you should have gotten a Sign In dialog. You need to give you Adobe ID and password there for the program activation.
When you are trying to get the program to respond, are there error messages being deposited in the Event Viewer (Computer/Manage/Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Applications)? Have you checked for any error messages there?
If you look at the Notepad document for the Hosts File, does it look like this default representation
Path to the hosts file in Windows 7 64 bit is
Local Disk C
Windows
System32
drivers
etc
and in the etc Folder is the hosts file.
Right click on the hosts file followed by Open and select Notepad. This should
give you what you see in the screenshot above. If you see anything below the line
# ::1 localhosts
then we need to check that out.
The antivirus is the most likely candidate to look at in the troubleshooting scheme, but also
check out any firewall involvement as well.
Are you all set on permissions - Run As Administrator and User Account with Administrative Privileges? Is your Internet connection OK? Latest version of QuickTime installed?
Although Premiere Elements is not mentioned specifically in the following Adobe document, I have seen Adobe Staff make reference to it for Premiere Elements troubleshooting purposes, you may want to check it out
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
Please review the above and then we can decide what next and consider the benefits of getting Adobe involved in the issue, especially if you are within 30 days of purchase.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

Itunes 7.5 does not open, but it shows up in task manager please help?

please help its been 2 months already and i cant sync my ipod cuz itunes does not open but it shows up on task manager.
i have tried every thing but still it does not work. i have reintall my itunes and quicktime like 20 times i've gone to older version but still does not work.
PLZZZZZZZZZZZZ HELPPPPP. im desperate and tired of liseting to the same songs for 2 months

Let's try to get an idea of what might be going on with some preliminary questions from b noir's "smack" for iTunes launch failures:
Is there an error message associated with the launch failure?
If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
If there's not an error message, let's check your QuickTime (its well-being is a requirement for a functioning iTunes).
Go to the XP Start menu > All Programs and try running QuickTime.
Does it start?
If not, then the same question as for iTunes - is there an error message?
If so, what does it say and what (if any) error numbers are there?
Do you notice any other peculiar behavior with QuickTime?

Itunes 7.3 does not open and i can't reinstall older versions

the software upgrade made me download the last itunes version but it does not open (apparently i have an old version of macosx) and since then i can not use itunes. the old versions do not install. how could i reinstall itunes on my computer

ayeee! I'm in exactly the same place: I am stuck with a new download of iTunes 7.3, which I cannot open.
And I'm scared: if i download the upgrade on the operating system, will i LOSE all my tunes from iTunes -- or are they hidden somewhere? (they better not be lost, or i'll cry a river!0
i'm on a powerbook 10.4.6 ...
and this whole stupid thing only happened because i couldn't get vids i'd bought to play on my iTunes... so i followed the instructions to upgrade my quicktime player ... and once i HAD upgraded my quicktime player (for $30!!!) i couldn't use it, cause my operating system was old (as in: i bought this computer 9 months ago!)... and so then i thought, "gee, maybe if i uprade my iTunes, the expensive new quicktime pro will work, and i can actually see the videos I bought!"
it's like a giant catch-22.... ayeeeee! help!

Premiere Elements 3 does not open projects (existing or new)

Last few days I tried a number of solutions suggested on your website including reinstalling Adobe but I still can not access my pro
jects. Adobe does not even open for New Projects. It tells me that a serious error has occured and that it will shut down and try to
save my project. It no longer asks me to save the project under a new name, it just shuts itself down. I have several versions of t
he same project saved at various stages. The project has video clips, a couple of photos, music, narration, titles and transitions a
nd goes for 1h10m. Another project of just photos with titles, music and transitions is only a few minutes in length but still does
not open.

Hi Steve
Good to hear from you. I have been using Premiere Elements for about 10 years and have been using version 3.0 for the past two years. This problem is new and very persistent. I have a project that is 98% complete (1h10m long movie) and Elements was working fine. Then one day when I opened Elements I got an error message saying "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." Since then every time I open Elements I get that message but it no longer offers to save it under a new name, just shuts down the program once I click OK. The screen where it lets me choose which project to open appears without any problems, but then when I open the project the error message appears about 10 seconds after the project has finished opening. I have tried opening different projects, and even tried starting a brand new project, but the message appears every time. I tried deleting the prefs file in Application Data as suggested in some forums but that didn't help. I have re-installed Elements several time but the problem still occurs.
My operating system is Windows XP with Service Pack 3. I have 4GB of RAM and two 300GB hard drives, both less than one quarter full. Quicktime and the Realtek drivers are up to date. I recently installed XP Service Pack 3 and some updates for Microsoft Office 2003, but Elements worked fine for several days after this before the problem began occurring. I have also recently had a problem with my computer refusing to shut down however it's shutting down normally now, not sure if that's anything to do with the Elements problem. Virus and spyware scans using Norton and Ad-Aware are all clear.
Hope you are able to help. Thanks, Iwona.

Itunes does not open after saying successfully installed

I have downloade the latest itunes. It says successfully installed but it does not open. I have restarted the computer but it still does not open. What can I do?

Try following steps one at a time:
1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

Firefox window does not opens. It shows an alert message -"Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I have deleted the processes in task manager and restarted Mozilla.Even then it does not opens. Pls get me a solution.

Make a new profile ('[[managing profiles]]'); if the old profile directory is still there, just copy-and-paste its contents into the new profile directory.
