HT3775 Why the the Quick Time Player is not opening?

I have been trying to watch a video for class, I'm unable to do that due to the quick time player. I've download it several time already. why is that?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  Only happens this one file.Ideas?

    I can't open one Quick Time movie file.  It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  Only happens on this one file.  All the others of a two hour shoot are fine. 
    Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it? 

    Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
    The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

    Perian 1.2.3 *should* work for both QuickTime & and QTX in Mountain Lion. Regardless of the filetype container, whether it is a Matroska (.mkv) or a .mov. As to the actual encoding of the file (h264, .mp2, whatever..) I have found most play, even older formats.
    Even though it's no longer supported and is a dead project, it works just fine. It will load as a System Preference file and adds to the Other category in them.
    I think in 10.8 you've still got support for QTX so it may work with that. (in Mavericks, it only works for QT7)
    If not, just run QuickTime 7.6.6.

  • In the external Quick Time Player the clips stop every few seconds. What to do?

    In the last weeks I cannot play YouTube clips in the browser but only in the external Quick Time Player. But the clips stop every few seconds. What to do?

    If YouTube videos are buffering in you browser, then it sounds more like a problem with your Internet speed.
    If you contact your Internet Service Provider, they should be more than happy to help.

  • Quick Time player cannon be opened because of a problem. Check with developer to make sure Quick Time player works with this version of Mac OS X

    "Quick Time Player cannot be opened because of a problem"  Futher noted - Check with developer to make sure Quick Time player works with this version of Mac OS X.  The player had been working fine on my iMac 24, even after upgrading to Lion. Now, nothing but this message. This involves Quick TIme Player version 10.0. Could upgrading to the 'Pro' version be worthwhile?  Can't find anything on support that comes close to answering this perplexing situation.
    Thanks,

    QuickTime Player 10.0, if that's what you have, is indeed too old for Lion which should have QuickTime Player 10.1. Check your system to see if perhaps you have two copies of QuickTime Player, something quite possible if you moved or renamed QuickTime Player before upgrading.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT3775 Quick Time player does not support AVI movies?

    I can't play an AVI movie on quick time player. Why?

    If you cant play it in QuickTime, then another media player may be more successful. A couple of good options that generally pick up where QuickTime falls short are VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html) and MPlayer OS X Extended (http://www.mplayerosx.ch).

  • Quick Time Player doesn't open WMV files with a double click.

    After I download a WAV file and double click on the file; a message appears install "Quick Time Player must be installed to run this application;" however when I open Quick Time Player and select the file it plays with no issues. My question is why would I be getting this message after upgrading to Snow Leopard?

    you do have QT player installed. you just need to associate wmv files with it. select a .wmv file in finder and enter command+i. in the popup go to the "open with" section set it to open with QT player and click "change all".

    Never heard of the unit until I saw your reference. Unfortunately, you did not mention which format/file type was used for recording, the application you are trying to open it with/in, or give any indication of your intended work flow, so it is somewhat difficult to know where/how to begin trying to determine possible workarounds here. Can you post a sample file for testing/examination along with additional information regarding your goals?

  • Quick time player  displays error

    Quick time player does not want to play a movie that is in WMV format, Why is that?

    Quick time player does not want to play a movie that is in WMV format, Why is that?There could be several reasons:
    1) WMV is a proprietary format developed and owned but no longer supportrd for Mac by Microsoft. So do you have a QT component installed that is capable of playing these files? After all, it would be illegal for Apple to steal and then incorporate this technology into QT.
    2) Even if you have an approved QT component installed, what particular codecs are involved here. Microsoft approved support for Mac has been relegated to Flip4Mac but is limited to version 9. If media contains advanced audio and/or video codecs from version 9.2, 10, or 11, then it will not play.
    3) If you are the typle of individual who attempts to download and install codecs for every conceivable AVI, WMV, DivX, XviD, old MS, etc. conpression format, it is quite possible you will encounter conflicts in playback compatibility on a regular basis.
    Generally speaking, if all you want is Windows, AVI, AC3 multichannel, MPEG, etc. compatible playback, try a different player like VLC

  • Not able to watch .mp4 videos in Quick Time Player

    Hi,
    I have a GOPro camera where the videos are currently stored on an external hard drive. I wanted to import those videos to iPhoto, which didn't work. Then I tried importing them without using iPhoto, but when trying to watch them I get a message saying that "Quick Time Player is not able to open the video.
    I find this very strange, as I already have some GoPro videos in IPhoto, which I can view just fine (in iPhoto, and outside of iPhoto). The videos are shot using the same camera.
    Also; Quick Time Player is supposed to support mp4. format; so I really don't see where I did go wrong?

    What format is used on the external drive?
    I suspect it's the reason the files can't be played.
