Lately, Quicktime doesn't play anything.

I noticed Quicktime no longer plays anything. (I can use other applications for playback). I just checked and am still running QT 7.6.4, maybe that has something to do with it? I'm going to download, install and report back…

I downloaded the update and am good to go.

Please help: My iPOD just runs through the playlist. Doesn't play anything.

My iPOD just runs through the playlist. Doesn't play anything. The songs do exist physically on the device.
I tried updating the iPOD but still the problem was not solved.
Is there any way by which I can play the songs without downloading them again on iPOD?
Windows XP Pro

I just had the same exact problem. It's like the Nano was forwarding thru the songs by itself..nothing would play!
So I went and looked at the manual, which suggested I try resetting it first. I did, and it worked! Here's what I did:
The manual instructed me to turn the "hold" switch on & off. Then it said to hold down the Menu and center button at the same time, until the Apple logo appeared. Then in a few moments the main screen came back on...and I was able to play songs again.
Hope this works for you, good luck!

Nomad Jukebox 3 doesn't play anything I sel

Whenever I try and choose an album or song on my player and I press "play now" the player doesn't do anything. I have tried resetting the player, but that didn't help. Does anyone have any clue what the problem might be?

Lorba73,
You can try a cleanup of the music library to see if this helps you. Try this article:

Media played with Quicktime doesn't play! Help please!!

I recently got a new iPod nano, and had to update my iTunes. Since I've done this, Quicktime hasn't been functioning properly. The sound (of a trailer, movie, etc) will play, but the media window doesn't play the picture; instead the window is just green. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling several times, each without results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I had the same problem 4x. They did a clean and install and an archive and install to no avail. Here is the solution. The genius bar went on to the discussion board and found the solution. Ready; go to hard drive then /Library/Internet Plug-ins/Quicktime Plugin.webplugin. Delete last Quicktime plugin.webplugin. Let me know . peace

Quicktime refuses to play anything

I recently tried to play some .mov, mp4 and mpg files however each movie causes quicktime to give an error " Quicktime cannot play this file because it is not a file quicktime understands error (-2048)".
Anyone know what the heck is going on? pls help me

Great advice-- unfortunately all useless!
The -2048 file error is NOT associated with MPEG2 encoded
files specifically. Any quicktime that is corrupted can
generate that error.
I work in a post-production facility and our clients bring
us many, many quicktime files. The 2048 error is frustratingly
non-specific and as far as I have discovered non-recoverable. I have read of people having some success copying
the header info from a working quicktime into the "broken"
one and thereby fixing it, but haven't tried it myself.
Good luck! Let us know if you find a solution.

Latest Quicktime doesn't play films in browser

Looks like the latest Quicktime has a bug or something, because it is not playing any animation what soever on my browser (firefox). Keep seeing the quicktime logo with a question mark....
is it a bug or something I can fix?

Further research
movies (flash) play in Safari correctly, but not in Firefox. To correct problem in Firefox browser see below instructions.
Quicktime plugin takes over Flash
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Quicktimeplugin_takes_overFlash
If you see a Quicktime symbol with a question mark where the Flash content should be, it means that Quicktime has taken over handling of Flash files. Open the Quicktime Control Panel, select the Browser tab (or select "Browser Plug-in" from the drop-down menu in Quicktime 6 or earlier). Click the "Mime settings" button and uncheck "Flash media" or "Flash file" under "Miscellaneous" and restart your browser. If the problem persists, remove the file "pluginreg.dat" from the "Firefox" or "Mozilla" folder in the profile folder location. Additionally, remove any "npqt*.dll" files found in the Mozilla Suite or Firefox installation directory's plugins folder. [7]

Quicktime doesn't play video or audio

I'm working of a brand new Macbook with OSX 10.4.9 and I just upgraded to Quicktime Pro 7.1.3
I have a bunch of movie files that I've saved over the years that won't play. They're AVI files, and they open but all that's there is a white screen and no sound.
Any suggestions?

There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might also work.
If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

Quicktime doesn't play streaming

Using Lion, I have a website that has embedded quicktime content. It won't play and I just get a black box. So I did some searching and found nothing. I suspected the browser, but I tried Safari, Chrome and Firefox and none would work.
I then went to Apple's website for movie trailers (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/) and when I select any trailer to play I get a popup that says "Get Quicktime. Download Quicktime to view this video". If I click it a webpage loads that says "Quicktime is built into Mac OS X".
This works on my Snow Leopard machine and my Mac Pro running Lion, but not on my Macbook Pro.
I've exhausted ideas to resolve. Anyone? Very frustrated.

Quicktime doesn't play .mpg camera videos!

after upgrading to latest QTplayer i cannot hear any sound! anyone with the same problem? videos are from sony still camera and i think they are MPG1.

Try this freeware for exporting from mpeg muxed files, as QT has never exported the sound from such files and in the case of mpeg-2 files it does not play sound in some of the audio formats:Mpeg StreamClip

Quicktime doesn't open AVI file with Perian installed

I have installed Perian but Quicktime X doesn't open AVI files for a week. I have repaired permissions. But Quicktime only plays the AVI file if I reboot the Mac. VLC always plays the file. The AVI codec is XVID. Quicktime doesn't play other formats such as FLV. I have deleted .plist files, com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist. I have found other files(com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.0GH3f31, com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.0h9MBzV...) that I deleted also. Any idea? Thanks

And now ... surprisingly I view AVI files in Quicktime without Perian.
QT has very limited AVI support (file type and a few older codecs) built in. Most common codecs use by Windows users, however, require the additional support provided by Perian. If the AVI files are now playing in QT without Perian, then simply check the Inspector, Properties, or Info window to see which codecs are in your AVI file and you should be able to tell if they are among those supported "natively" by QT. Also note that this regaining of the ability to play your files may indicate a component conflict of some sort may have existed previously.

ALSA and WINE: Doesn't play audio on 32-bit prefix

I have made a 32-bit prefix for WINE, however the sound does not seem to work whilst on a 32-bit prefix. I have installed the lib32 packages that the Wiki page has told me to install, however it does not play audio. One of the programs I have installed shows that music is indeed playing, however there is no sound being outputted. Winecfg's audio test doesn't play anything.

Thanks for the reply,
I can confirm that I have all six of those packages installed on my system.
For some reason, WINE outputs this when Test Sound is clicked, unsure if it relates to the audio issue or not.
