please tell me what can i do?

every time i try to open it it gave me an error (quicktime 7 quit unexpectedly)
Quitting on opening of the application is often caused by a corrupted PLIST file for the application in question. You might start by deleting this file which is then re-written with default settings the next time the application opens/closes. (Believe this PLIST file is the one in your "USER > Library > Preferences > com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist" folder.)

Please help community! This is my first mac and im itching to get stuck in!

Cant open .mpg in quicktime

i cant open some mpgs in quicktime but if i choose a program called vlc they work fine. i know quicktime opened mpgs before. i checked im updated on versions and quicktime is the default program for that file extention. my isight used to record really nice video images on my 20", my 24" looks like crap did the program get nerfed in an update? any help appreciated thanx

QuickTime Player can be used to view MPEG-1 formatted files but it requires the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 at the Apple Store) to view MPEG-2 formatted files.

all of a sudden my itunes wont come up when i hit the desktop icon. un and re installed many times, tried new users, it finally gave me "you need to reinstall sqmapi.dll " im a noob and i have know idea what that is or where i can get it. i cant open any file or library that has anything to do with itunes except safari and quicktime are fine. im about to pull out whats left of my hair.

Okay, that's got one thing ruled out at least.
Can you check something for me, big? I'd like to see if iTunes launches with the Bonjour Service disabled.
In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
... and click OK.
Restart the PC and try launching iTunes. Does it open this time?

I cant open itunes on computer

I cant open itunes on computer

I'm having the same problem. Already followed the steps and removed the SC info.sibd file then repaired the Quicktime program. Nothing has worked. Should I remove the Itunes program? I recently updated Iphone and synced iphone and ipod now cant open itunes at all. No error message. The icon thinks a moment then does not open.

Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

Hi neffn!
I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Note that, as it says in those articles:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Quick time error 2048 - cant open file

I just downloaded quick time and cant open some files. They are designed for quick time but when I try and open them I get the 2048 error message. I have deleted and re-installed the quck time and am still getting the message.
Any ideas ?

Error -2048 implies MPEG-2 file format which QuickTime Player doesn't play without additional software:

I cant open itunes cause quick time failed to initialize (error - 2096)

i cant open itunes cause quick time failed to initialize (error - 2096)

hmmmm.
doublechecking something before proceeding ... are any boxes ticked in the Compatibility tab for your QuickTime?
(i've seen that message produced when some of the Display Settings boxes in there are ticked, not just the compatibility mode one.)

A FCP user gave me .mov's that PP CS5 cant open, what can I do? (File link enclosed)

A FCP shooter gave me .mov's that PP CS5 cant open, what can I do? I guess she rewrapped the files because as they try to import into cs5 a FCP loading diologe box opens stating: Importing FCP XML.... Afterwards it says i dont have the codec necc.
I'm PC based only.
Here is a link to a short clip that can be downloaded.
I'm really stuck here guys. Cant reach the shooter.
The 5 second clip can be seen & downloaded from Vimeo:

If you tried XD Decode you must think that they originated as XDCam then, right? That is the codec I had to buy and once it was installed everything was transparent and normal. So I'm not sure what the crashing is all about, assuming your system meets the minimal tech. requirements. I'd give it another try if you haven't already.
Your best hope would be to locate the original camera files, which could very well have been deleted following the .mov copying via the Mac. I've had no problem with native XDCam in Premiere. The next best solution might be to have that FCP user do the conversions to another file format you can use. Hopefully there aren't thousands of them.
Firstodd, that's very interesting that your Avid MC was able to work with those files. I just found this from an Avid doc of last year: "If you want to play the exported movie in QuickTime, you need to purchase a third-party QuickTime plug-in. Avid recommends the Calibrated{Q} XD Decode from Calibrated Software"
Still, for the $80 I spent a year ago, XD Decode was well worth it in time saved. I see the price has gone up $50 since then though.

Photoshop 2014 (fresh install) cant open a video because: …. the dynamiclink media server is not avalable – any idea how to fix this on os x 10.5.8 ?

i found the error!
little snitch on os x blocks something (i dont know what exact) of adobe in the background. i have no rule defined for adobe in little snitch, so everything of adobe can go out.
when i stop little snitch, everything works fine - photoshop opens videos without the medialink error, photoshop starts up in seconds and premiere starts without a quicktime error.
i report the problem also to objective developement to fix this!

HELP: I cant open any videos in PS CS6 - Mac OSX

Please help me! I cant open videos in Photoshop - The videos is .MOV so it should work... but when I open it it says

Welcome to the fourm.
It appears that you posted, before you listed the error that you receive, when trying to Open the MOV files. That could be very important.
Also, as MOV is but a "wrapper," and can contain all sorts of CODEC's, knowing about your particular MOV files might hold the clue. Please see this article, and let us know more about your particular MOV files: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0 Note: the article talks about "AVI" files, but other formats, like MOV, can contain a vast number of CODEC's.
On a Mac, one can use Media Inspector, a great utility, to find out what is inside the MOV files.
Also, as many MOV files contain some CODEC's, that are installed with QuickTime Player, I would check that your version of QT Player has been updated.
Good luck, and please let us know a bit more.

FF cant open a page in a new window, even from rightclick menu and if tried ff cannot exit correctly

as described above, cant open anything in a new window, even from right click menu.......... open in new tab is not checked in settings.
also the flash plug in crashes all the time

I have these problems, as well, but after disabling and re-enabling extensions and plug-ins one by one, it appears these issues are related to the Java Console 6.0.22 extension update. With this extension disabled and the older Java 6.0.20 enabled, I could open a new window and FF could exit correctly even with the updated Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.220.4 and Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U22 6.0.220.4 plug-ins enabled.
The question is whether FF is conflicting with the Java Console update or the Java Console update is the true culprit. I'm leaning toward the latter.
Firefox 3.6.10
''Extensions:'' Java Console's (noted above), Better Privacy 1.48.3, Download Helper 4.8.1, Scrapbook Plus 1.8.17.31,Vacuum Places Improved 1.1, and ZoneAlarm Toolbar 1.5.152.10
''Plug-ins:'' Java Platform and Toolkit (noted above), Mozilla Default 1.0.0.15, QuickTime 7.6.8.0, Silverlight 4.0.50917.0, Windows Genuine Advantage 1.9.0042.0, and WPF 3.5.30729.1

Opened quicktime and dont have any play or control buttons

i cant play any .mov files. when i open quicktime there arent any control buttons available nor is there a choice for quiecktime preferences. cn anyone help with this issue?

The player controls are in the video window of the movie you want to play. Either drop the movie on to the quicktime player icon or use quicktime player's File menu, Open File to open the desired movie.

Hello amyluvscarolyn
Depending on what version of Mac OS X you are running, you may have a newer version. If you are needing QuickTime 7, then check out the article below for the correct links to download for your system.
