Lion & Quicktime 10.1... No sound?

I recently downloaded Lion on my MacBook Pro. I need to d/l .mp3 files for a class. QT downloads the files, but there is no audio coming out. I've read other forums and can't seem to figure out why no audio will come out. Please help!

Quick Time is not used to download mp3's.
What may be happening is that when you click on a link, quick time tries to play it.
If you can, try the following:
"Copy" the link to the download.
Click on the download button in Safari (normally in top right corner).
Paste the link.
You should see the download start. This will be save to your downloads folder.
You can open this in iTunes by (two fingered) clicking and choosing Open with----> iTunes.
You can't "download to iTunes", unless you are purchasing from the iTunes store. After you download a file you can store it anywhere you like.
You can do iTunes ---> Preferences ---> Advanced ---> Check "Keep my media files organized". This will keep all your media files together if you want.

QuickTime (recording screen with sound?)

I have no problem making screen recordings off the web using QuickTime but for some reason QT doesn't record the sound unless I output the sound through my external speakers for the iMac mic to pick up.
I've tried all of the settings (re. image)... but still can't record audio directly.
Any suggestions?

Set the sound the way you want on Quicktime. Use the sound slider on your computer to move it at the bottom. Or try the mute key.
Did this work?

After I upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion, QuickTime no longer auto names and auto saves, my recorded files.

Try using one of these video players. VLC usually works with most files.
Video Player - Divx
Video Player – Flip4Mac
Video Player - VLC

HI,
In Message Menu > Preference > Accounts you should at least have the iMessage Account (Which is Enabled) and th Bonjour one that most likely is not.
After that if you had iChat type AIM valid Screen Names or Jabber IDs in an earlier OS then the System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars should list them and have them set to be used with Messages.
There is a vague chance that you have not set these up yet (you can do it in Messages or Mail, Contacts and Calendars)
Once you have a t least one other "Account" other than th iMessage one in Messages then the Buddy List option will appear next to CMD and 1 in the Window menu list.
NEXT
If you go to the General Section of the Messages Preferences you can unlink several Buddy lists if you have them (By default they are shown as one gathered Buddy list)
I Have several Accounts logged in (AIM valid and Jabber ones)

And I separate them in to individual lists which then gives me this in the Window Menu

I recorded audio with Quicktime player and the sound files won't disappear from the desktop no matter how I try to put them in the trash...tried xing out the red x, putting them in the trash...right clicking to make them disappear...nothing works...

Just got rid of them... I closed Quicktime and was asked to delete. So I deleted them. Problem solved.

I have a late 2006 iMac upgraded to lion, Quicktime doesn't work anymore. Preview won't show images, any ideas anyone?

You are correct....it will not work. Please carefully read Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What happened to Mountain lion QuickTime player audio

How come the Mountain Lion QuickTime Player plays audio like having a phase swap effect?
It's not natural, and maybe this is a new bug?
All other players like iTune and QuickTime 7 and the Real Player are ok.
Why?

Since upgrading to Lion I have Quicktime problems, it will not let me export files to iTunes, it is telling me file maybe damaged this is with wmv and quicktime formats, I also have problems with quicktime freezing and no sound on some files

Anyone got any ideas?

OK, I did as you suggested, the first step didn't seem to do anything, I selected to download it said immediatly "thankyou for downloading" but didn't ask permission as normal downloads do and it was also instantanious, no download time waited.
So I went onto the second step, downloaded and ran the free trial, showed lots of errors as I'd expect something selling a service to do. I have no idea what the registry does but am wary not to mess with it as if its damaged it makes things very very difficult. I don't know what to do with the results on that one. The messages all seem the same:
The Default Value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/App paths/Your App exe contains an invalid path...etc and then goes on to specify a file or someters and numbers and semi colons. There are 388 like this. Again, I have no idea what to do with that information or how essential a registry clean is. About 5 years ago I had a Sony Ericsson mobile which would not transfer pictures to my computer. I called Sony up and they did a registry clean for me. It did nothing, I was still unable to transfer pictures and made a mental not to never ever get another Sony Ericsson handset. I can't help feeling a sense od deja-vu with this so am reluctant to do anything to the registry unless someone is there to pick up the peices on the other end as I can't just afford to go out purchase another computer hard drive.
Then I went back, re-downloaded the itunes again, this time it did actually try to download something.
I got an error message:
Error writing to file: C:/Config.Msi\2b8263.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory
To which I said I did and to "retry"
It seemed to download fine! I have no idea what was different this time. Nothing I did was any different other then going from your link rather then the pop-up link I normally get. Maybe its just better to use a different link?
Thanks again!

After upgrading to Mountain Lion Quicktime doesn't work

I have a 2009 macbook pro and just updated to mountain lion and now all my limewire movies that are in AVI format wont play on quicktime but they will play on FLV. I didnt have this problem before i upgraded.
any help would be great!

You can't run Windows on a Mac unless you use BootCamp or a third-party utility such as Parallels Desktop.
Perhaps you mean Microsoft Word (which is part of the MSOffice suite).
Only MSOffice 2008 and later will run in Mountain Lion.
However there are very good free alternatives, such as LibreOffice.

Mountain Lion Quicktime AVCHD

When I copy the entire unmodified contents of an SD card containing AVCHD files to my external HDD I can't open the AVCHD movie file using Mountain Lion and Quicktime.
The open clip window opens and just stays blank. Meanwhile in the background I see a Quicktime error message dialog box saying "The Operation Could Not be Completed"
The files can be seen when using the Show Package Contents option and the files work in other avchd apps like VLC.
I do not experience this problem when I follow the same process but use the Internal solid state drive.
The files on the external hard drive CAN BE opened from an app like Adobe Premier Pro so the actual mts files seem to be in tact and working on the external HDD.
I have tested this on two different external HDD's. Same error on both.
Thanks in advance for any help or assistance you can provide.
My main concern is that I want to make sure my entire SD card is being properly copied when put on an external HDD so that I know I have a fully working backup of my movie files.

Such = SDHC
Sorry, Apple thought it knew better than I what I wanted to type.

I have a "welcome" sound byte on my web site, The Northern Bard. Whenever I open it in Firefox, there is a QuickTime crash and the sound byte doesn't play.

I have had a web site on Tripod since 1997. The opening page has Madeline Kahn doing the Lilly von Schtupp welcome from "Blazing Saddles", which plays on IE, Chrome, and other browsers, but NOT on Firefox. It's very annoying, when I keep getting updates from QuickTime on my desktop, to keep getting the "QuickTime has crashed" message, I keep REPEATEDLY sending crash reports, I've done all you tell me to do to get it to quit doing that, yet the problem continues.
How about either giving REAL solutions to the problem or fix whatever bug Firefox has up it's chimney so that people using Firefox to visit my web site can hear the music and sound bytes I programmed in to make my pages fun?

Please make sure that they are up to date [[Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems]]
Has the website been updated since it was created? It would be interesting to see if the way to implement background music has changed.
Do you also have any ad blocking software?[http://mzl.la/LL9mLw]

After lion 10.7 no audio sound

I have a mid 2009 MBP, it worked great on 10.6.8, but after installed 10.7, the audio icon gray out, and showing "The selected device has no output control".
It does has sound when boot up, and sound effect is no problem, only the output does not work.
I have to connect my earphone into the jack, and the error message of "The selected device has no output control", disappreared. After that unplug the earphone, everything works. However, once I reboot, the problem remains.
I brought it for service, and they claimed it was a software issue and they could not do anything. They suggested me to reinstall the Lion again.
When I rolled up to 10.6.8 everything worked, but once upgraded to 10.7, the problem was back.
I have reinstalled three times, however, the problem remains.
Any suggestion ?

I had this problem today and was able to fix it. I updated to Lion release day so it hasn't been an issue from day one. It started when I restarted my computer today. I was able to hear sound, but I couldn't control it and my Macbook Pro was giving me this:
and this:
I restarted it twice and nothing. I finally decided that I just didn't want to be able to hear sound (because I'm at work) so I plugged in head phones and then I played a song in iTunes just to make sure the music was coming through the headphones. Then whilet he music was still playing I pulled the headphones out and the volume icon at the top right became clickable again. That's all I did and now all my keyboard controls and everything work.
I hope this works for everyone.

QuickTime/Flash (*.swf) - no sound

QuickTime Pro 7.1.6, Flash Player 9UB
New problem. Everything copacetic until in middle of class, *.swf file embedded in Keynote presentation had no sound. Visual ok, but no sound when playing *.swf files. Even if just open *.swf file in QT, visual ok, sound missing. Same files will play fine in other applications, but not in QT. Everything works on non-Intel computers.
Must have sound as use flash files extensively (embedded in Keynote presentations) for classroom. Please help. Monday morning is coming up quick time.
BTW have installed Perian 1.0 to no avail.
drdillo

Problem solved in wee hours last night. Had accidentally deleted <com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist>. Hadn't discovered effect until middle of class, because hadn't rebooted until then.
BTW, only time I use *.swf files is in Keynote. If the "Open with:" section of the Get Info panels is set to have all the flash files open in QT and then, in System Preferences/QT/Advanced, the "Enable Flash" property is checked everything works (now) fine.
Thanks, folks. I'm set for Monday!

Embedded QuickTime files not playing sound

I'm having trouble getting older, embedded QuickTime files to play properly. Many of them do play but without sound.
An example:
The embedded QuickTime files in questions 6 and 10 here...
http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schuh/lx001/Web_Quizzes/Quiz_07/07web.htm l
...do not play sound.
When viewing the files directly...
Example: http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schuh/lx001/Web_Quizzes/Quiz_07/07_Quiz_m edia/0706_split_brain_red.mov
...the sound plays properly.

Is this a Yosemite issue? Not being able to play older QuickTime 7 files properly? I'm not sure what else the issue could be since everything seems to work fine in 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 (unfortunately, I have been unable to test this in 10.10 or 10.10.1). Maybe I'm overcomplicating a simple issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Some very interesting observations which peaked my own curiosity due to on-again, off-again nature of the playback. I suspect this is either a "bug" or represents content handling changes that are currently in the process of "evolving." Not a web site programmer so I used iWeb to run some contrast-comparison tests on how audio was handled by the plug-in software when directly accessing the content by its URL and via the page embed strategies. My results mirrored yours in that:
1) All legacy codecs tested (A-Law, IMA, QDM2, QPV, and u-Law) in an MOV file container played correctly in the QT 7 player.
2) The same files all played correctly when content was accessed by the plug-in software directly using the URL reference.
3) None of the files containing legacy audio compression formats would play audio using the plug-in software using a web page embedding strategy.
4) An MP4 (H.264/AAC) version of you original clip played correctly in all instances.
5) Replacing your QDM2 audio track with an AAC audio track in the original MOV file allowed the file to play correctly in all instances.
Based on these observations, I suspect the problem is in the way the software is currently programmed to handle (or rather ignore) the embedded strategy content. However, as you indicated, it is probably time to update your files. Not only did the H.264/AAC version of your original file play in all instances, but it used less than 45% of the file space/bandwidth for the settings I employed as compared to your original "0706_split_brain_red.mov" original file.

OSX Lion QuickTime Internet Plug-In causes high CPU load

I have OSX Lion installed.
Now I have a CPU load between 80 to 130% caused by the Quicktime internet plug-in if I watch my ip-camera with Safari. Also I get no Audio out of my ip-camera anymore. In SnowLeopard everything was fine, Safari CPU load at 30%. What is wrong ? Can anybody help me ? It is an Y-Cam Knight SD and a MacMini core 2 Duo.
Karsten Preussner from GERMANY

I had this same problem and couldn't get it to work at all. I tried to install the 3IVX plugin listed here and it didn't do anything. So I uninstalled it.
Then I thought to try my Macbook Pro and see if it was working on that computer, sure enough it was. I checked the HD/Library/Quicktime folder and it only had 4 items in it, whereas on the Mac Pro (that was not working) had 19 itmes in there. So, I moved all 19 out to a new folder and copied only the ones that were in the MBP. When I opened Safari IT WORKED!!! NO MORE PLUGIN FAILURE.
So, I must have just had too many old things in the quicktime folder that was causing it to fail.
Here is a screenshot of my HD/Library/Quicktime folder contents. The top folder shows the 4 items that should be in there (Perian is optional) and the bottom window in the screenshot shows all the stuff I previously had in there which caused the failure.
So If you are having this plugin failure, try removing all but these essentials from your HD/Library/Quicktime folder. It worked for me!
