Have you done the obvious things to try to fix it: quit Quicktime then start it back up again, log out then back in, reboot.
Edit: Just read one of your later posts. If VLC won't play it, this is unrelated to Quicktime and Flip4Mac. Are you sure these wmv files are okay?

  • HT3775 can't play wmv file on quicktime?

    I can't play .wmv files on quicktime.  I installed both QuickTime MPEG2 and Flip4Mac WMV hoping that this would solve the problem but it did not.  When trying to play any audio .wmv file I get an error box stating "the document (filename).wmv could not be opened.  The movie is not in a format the QuickTime Player understands.  You may need to install additional software to open this type of file".  Anyone know what I might need here?

    Hmm, Perian should provide flv playback in Quicktime. Maybe you need to update Perian? I used to always use Perian but since upgrading to Lion I have not installed it and now rely on VLC for non-apple standard media playback. Deluxe can handle the flv-format.It will convert flv to mov. Hope it helps

  • Playing wmv files in Quicktime Pro

    I really want to play wmv files in quicktime. I read that quicktime pro should be able to do so. I have quicktime pro but nether Quicktime Player X or Quicktime 7 Pro can open it, and I know the file isn't corrupted cause it plays on a windows computer. Please help

    You need to install Flip4Mac to play unprotected WMV files. WMV content which contains DRM can't be played in Mac OS X.

  • Play WMV Files in Quicktime

    Hi,
    I run Win XP & Surfari. I am trying to get away from running Media Player. I wish to play WMV files in Quicktime players. I do not wish to use a 3rd party player I just want to be able to open the WMV & it runs in Quicktime. I do not not want to go through the hassle of using another program to convert the file I just want to be able to run it in Quicktime. Is this now possible? I have read other posts in the Forum and nobody has answered this question directly they just say convert..... & that is a stupid answer & not satisfactory
    Many thanks in advance
    PS

    Again, QuickTime for windows can't play .wmv or.wma, in this link look to the column on the right, Supported File Formats.

    I can't open a .wmv file with quicktime player.  Shouldn't I be able to?

    No. To do so you need to install Flip4Mac WMV Player 2.4.4.2.

  • Can't play .wmv files in Quicktime 7?

    I used to be able to play a library of .wmv files in Quicktime with no problems but all the sudden, I received an error message saying, "can't play this movie". They are only short 1-2 minute clips.
    I successfully downloaded the most recent version of Quicktime from Apple's site but that didn't help.
    Can you help? Thanks, Samattjack

    QuickTime has never even opened Windows Media Player formats without third party software help:
    http://flip4mac.com is that software and any issues can only be resolved by them, not Apple.
    Not a Quicktime software issue.

  • Can't play .wmv files in QuickTime (Leopard) 10.6.1

    I couldn't open either .wmv or flip4mac - getting the "quicktime player needed to run this app" error message.
    I try VLC ,DIVX also convert files using DIVX but no sound after converting and no video
    i don't know what to do
    any good solution would be appreciated

    I just got a new iMac with 10.6.2 which uses QT Player 10.0. I downloaded the latest Flip4Mac. It used to be, when I got an email with a WMV, I could play it in QT with Flip4Mac just by double-clicking on the WMV file. Now, I usually just get a blank QT screen. Sometimes, after QT opens, I can then open Flip4Mac and sometimes it plays, but not very often.
    The Flip4Mac version is 2.3.1.2
    Love the icon Baby Boomer. What is it? Flash?

  • Can anyone help me round this please.  I have accidentally locked my ipad and despite having pass codes, and apple id's etc, it will not let me into any screen.  It just opens up to "slide to open" and then does nothing.  Help!

    I have locked my ipad, don't know exactly how, but it was NOT from a wrong passcode.  I think I accidentally touched the lock button in the little rollup screen at the bottom of the ipad.  The ipad will not syn with the PC, I cannot get past the on button. It will not let me enter my passcode, nothing. Does anyone know how I can fix this please?

    thank you so much.  I have been fretting for hours and in one very quick response you have fixed it for me.  Eternally grateful.

  • Help - Faded grey songs that can't be played on my iOS devices even after iTunes Match completed update?

    I've had iTunes Match over a year and have uploaded nearly 25k songs.
    90% are successfully in the cloud but some albums are a faded grey when I try to access them on my iphone/tablet. I can't play then of download them with iTunes Match turned on on these devices.
    I've repeatedly clicked to update iTunes match on my computer and watch it complete the process, yet these albums just don't work on my iOS devices.
    When I check on iTunes some have the "!" Icon saying couldnt upload but there's no reason they shouldn't...what gives and what can I do?
    Thanks in advance

    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcuded synced media like apps and music. Thes those iTunes are not restored to the iPod unless they are in the iTunes library.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I Can Not Completely Delete A File In iTunes,Even After Complete Search

    I need to completely clean out iTunes and all Album pictures. Some where there is a folder or file, that keeps putting back exactly what I have erased. I need to make my Itunes and all songs new, but the artwork always comes back, even when Ii erased the pictures. What file do I need to take out of the system or my home folder. Do not tell me the album artwork folder. Thats been done 50 times.
    I have deleted all of Itunes files,preferences,(All). When I re install iTunes and put my music back in all the music artwork comes back. I deleted back up,
    I want to restart fresh and no album artwork.

    Thanks ! but
    No,because the images are from me. somewheres in the library in home folder or in the system library is a hitten file or a prerence,that keeps building my iTunes as it was before. I have completely deleted all and turned off all for the Apple Store. I have deleted iTunes and all related to it about 51 times now. I always find folders after in the artwork folder with many folders and a lot of numbers.
    I sure hate to erase the whole hard drive. That file is not saying anything about iTunes either. I deleted the pictures for the albumns. Then I reinstall iTunes,went off line and still that crap comes up. It wont let me do a new iTunes.
