Is the QuickTime.CPL needed?

I don't have it in the System32 folder.

The QuickTime.cpl shouldn't be in the the System32 folder. In a standard QuickTime installation it lives in the QuickTime folder in your Program files directory.
Are you getting a message referencing it when you try to open the control panel?

What format do the Quicktime files need to be in?

okay so i just got a mac. haven't had time to play with it much. but quick easy (prolly dumb) question.
what format does the quicktime file need to be in (both audio and video)?
and
how do i get my movies into that format?
*i do have handbrake as well.
Thanks

Where did your files come from and what are you trying to do with them.
BTW, if what you are trying to do involves starting with commercial, copy protected DVDs, using HB, and then making copies of those commercial DVDs, we can not help you here under the Apple Forum Terms of Use. Sorry.
If your movies were actually created by you or a friend, we will be glad to try and help you figure things out.

System32 and Quicktime.cpl error message

If I try to run Quicktime from control panel I get the error
An exception occurred trying to run C:\\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RUNDLL "C:\WINDOWS\System32\Quicktime.cpl", Quicktime
When I try to start off desktop, my harddrive just grinds a little, but Quicktime never starts up. Nor Picture viewer. Only thing that works is 'read me'. Running latest QT with XP, IE7, Nvidia Geforce, Dell 8200. I can view movie trailers and demo on Quicktime.com no problem.

i've got the same message when i try to go to the MIME settings in the browser tab. When i copy the file quicktime.cpl from C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem to C:\Windows\System32 i dont get the error. But when i try update my quicktime software i will get the error again.
I found this problem because i want to play a hd trailer on a website in firefox. But when i try it ask for plugins that i must install. When i click on that it cant be automatic installed, so i must to it manual. When im redirected to the apple page for manualy installing quicktime, i try to install it, but it seems that firefox dont see that quicktime is installed. I still get the message about plugins.
Maybe it has a conflict with the error about quicktime.cpl
btw, when i get the quicktime.cpl error, the quicktime windows close by itself.

If QuickTime Player 7 isn't in the Utilities folder automatically, you can install it separately. See:

Instructions on how to register your QuickTime Pro key can be found in that same document.

I cannot get the Quicktime plugin to update from v7.7.3 to the CURRENT 7.6.6 . My plugins view tells me I'm at risk and need to update but try as I might, it won't take. I consider myself and above average Mac User. Please advise. Thank you

for some inexplicable reason, I cannot get the Quicktime plugin to update from v7.7.3 to the CURRENT 7.6.6 . My plugins view tells me I'm at risk and need to update but try as I might, through all the known update avenues, it won't take. I consider myself and above average Mac User. Please advise. Thank you

Someone recently noted a problem staying logged on the Huffington Post since it became connected with AOL. The workaround for that is to change your connection setting here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network
Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change.
Not sure whether Washington Post could be affected by that same setting.
In reviewing your extensions, I'm puzzled that you have both DoNotTrackMe and SavvyConnect. The first one seems to aggressively block certain communications with websites (potentially affecting functionality) while the second one seems to report on your browsing habits (they better pay well is all I can say). Have you tried disabling both of those to see whether that has any effect?

I need help getting my laptop to update to yosemite so I can then have the quicktime download in order to watch lectures for college course. Can anyone help?

I need the download quicktime in order to watch these lecture videos. It said the new update for my laptop being the yosemite one has the quicktime download within it. However, I went and downloaded it and now it just keeps saying it is downloading and then about 10 minutes later a thing pops up saying it couldn't be downloaded check internet connection. So I keep clicking retry but it has happened like 3 times now and it won't successfully download. Did anyone else have this trouble? Or can anyone else help?

What is the file extension of the files you need to watch? (.mov, .mp4....)
What says the update for your laptop has QT within it ?
Can you provide a link to the page you're downloading from?
Is your internet connection otherwise OK?
Is the QuickTime Player app in your /Applications folder? What happens when you launch it?

I need the quicktime plugin, but everytime I want to install it, the whole quicktime player is downloaded without the plugin.

quicktime plugin from aplle can only be installed with the whole quick time player.
I download it but nothing happenes, videos still cannot be streamed in firefox.
I tried to install the plugin manually out of the quicktime file, but it seemes as though the plugin was not downloaded with the player.
Did I do everything right? what is going wrong?

I see that I have the QT plugin 7.6.6 in my 'installed plugins' list. I was wondering if this was a carry over from previous versions of the OS and perhaps this is screwing everything up.
No. Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
The page loads fine for me, but it takes a ittle while before it does so after the Quicktime icon shows.

What's the "QuickTime component" I need for iMovie?

Whenever I open iMovie I get this notice:
"The QuickTime component necessary to view, edit, import, and export MPEG2 movies is not installed. It is included with the iMovie installer; please re-install."
I re-installed and I still get this notice. What the heck! What does this mean?
P.S. I don't kno

ITunes won't open after moving to new PC; quicktime.cpl corrupt?

I used PCMover to move my files and applications to my new PC. After this, iTunes 6 wouldn't open. I installed 7.0.2 over 6, but it won't open either. The process starts, then I receive a message saying iTuens has encountered a problem and needs to close. The iTunes display never appears.
So far I have:
Rebooted (several times, at various points in the below processes)
Uninstalled and re-installed iTunes 7.0.2 (several times)
Attempted to uninstall Quicktime. The uninstall will not finish, saying it encountered a fatal error. Quicktime will not run, either.
Re-installed Quicktime. It still will not run or uninstall.
Repaired Quicktime. No change.
Tried to open the QuickTime control panel. This fails with the error "An exception occurred while trying to run "C:Windows\system32\shell2.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\Windows\system32\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"
Anyone know how I can get QuickTime and iTunes to work? Thanks.

Attempted to uninstall Quicktime. The uninstall will not finish, saying it encountered a fatal error. Quicktime will not run, either.
when a QuickTime uninstall throws that message at folks, it's usually best to try completely scraping the itunes and QuickTime program files and installation configuration information from the PC, and doing a careful staged reinstall afterwards.
try the technique in the following post. (it includes instructions on what to do if Add/Remove isn't letting you uninstall one of the programs.)

Quicktime.cpl corrupted

My Itunes had a corrupted file, and would not open, it reccomended I run chkdsk, but it would only run the program in read-only mode, and get to 9% and find errors and instantly closed. I uninstalled itunes, but it said I would need to uninstall quicktime as well to reinstall itunes. IT wouldn't let me do this. I've been able to delete everything but quicktime.cpl in the QT system folder. I've been screwing with this for HOURS, I can't figure out how to delete this file. I don't even know if this will fix my problem when I uninstall it, but totally stuck here. When I try to delete it, it says error 0x80070091 directory is not empty and it will not delete.
I've also even tried downloading the windows installer clean up, and zsoft, but NOTHING will get rid of this file. I made sure I had all the permissions correct, I've restarted my computer, and I can't think of anything else to do. I'm out of ideas, PLEASE help me.....

If all else fails try thorough uninstallation. A good resource for this is apple's own knowledge base. Follow the steps after the error codes on knowledge base article 93976. That should get you started in the right direction.

QuickTime.cpl error when updating QT7

QuickTime v7.1.6 and iTunes v7.1.1.5 installed, and both seem to work just fine, but ...
I cannot figure out what is causing the following error. It only seems to happen when I use the QuickTime control panel to look for an update.
I can generate the error 2 different ways:
the following sequence:
QuickTime Preferences
Update tab
Update button
Checking for QuickTime updates... window appears
generates the following error:
RUNDLL
X An exception occurred while trying to run "Shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl"
the following sequence:
Help (in menu bar)
Update existing software
Checking for QuickTime updates... window appears
generates the following error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
X Buffer overrun detected!
Program: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state.
The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.
As stated above, the program itself works fine. I've reinstalled QuickTime, but as I expected, the error did not go away.
Running the "Apple Software Update" program works just fine, but it's not trying to run QuickTime.cpl as an application, which is what the RUNDLL line appears to be doing.
Any ideas?

How do I stop downloaded MP3s playing in the QuickTime Browser Plugin?

I have a number of websites created in Flash, which are used to promote musicians and bands in Bristol, UK. I use Flash because it allows animations, music players, background music, and all the other features ideal for promotional websites.
We offer MP3s for free download so our fans and followers can own some of our tracks.
Up until last week, a link directly to an MP3 would launch the "Save As..." download dialogue, allowing users to save the files to their PC.
However, since installing QuickTime 7, when you click on a link to an MP3 it now launches a nasty little embedded Quicktime player, which you can't save from or do anything useful with.
This is absolutely useless as I already have streaming audio and a built-in music player in my site, and I can now no longer offer MP3 downloads. I don't want to have to start zipping my MP3s or anything hideous like that, does anyone know a way that I can stop this happening?
I can't expect visitors to my sites to do anything, so I need some way of changing the URL so that it doesn't trigger the QT plugin.
Would really appreciate some assistance as this has effectively ruined the most significant part of most of our websites.
Thanks

Ah, well, it was worth a try, but since you're clearly not actually reading my post - I'm using FLASH, as I clearly stated so you cannot right click.
As for the QT Mime settings, what you are saying is woefully inaccurate, and once again you aren't reading what I am writing. Quicktime is not the default player for MP3s on my PC. And as of two days ago there was no QT MP3 browser plugin either. I installed Quicktime because I have to have it to play MOV files.
By installing QT the program arbitrarily (that means it did it without any involvement or permission from me) took ownership of MP3s in the browser only. I know how MIME settings work, and I made absolutely sure that QT did not get it's hands on any of my filetypes. However, there is NOT an option to stop it playing MP3s in a browser, and it most definitely happened without my say so.
There clearly isn't an answer to this, I'll either have to put my MP3s in Zips or use some elaborate code to generate a nasty HTML page so that you can (retch) Right Click, Save As. All this because the QuickTime player has made changes that it had absolutely no right to.
Never mind, I'll find another way. But first, I'm uninstalling Quicktime forever.
