.MOV files not opening - please help

Can anyone help please:
After having all sorts of problems with my iMac, I wiped my HD, reinstalled OSX (snow leopard) and restored my system using Time Machine.
Now some, but not all, of my .MOV movies filmed on iPhone will not open. I just get the message "The document “IMG_00xx.MOV” could not be opened." in Quick Time Player.
Worst of all, I had backed-up these movies both using Time Machine and just as a copy of my Movies folder to an external HD. However these back-ups also do not open.
Please can anyone help - I'd be really upset to lose these movies for good.
thanks

no good here. software updates is what got me scrambled and no new updates available. I'm still on Leopard 10.5.8 so I think it's a conflict there and os 10.6 or 10.7 would solve it.. but I don't have time to drive 2 hours each way to the nearest Apple store to get the thumb drive OS 10.7 in time to finish my project by tomorow. If that is the issue, I wish Apple's techies had disabled quicktime update for 10.5.8 and instead say (to use the newest Quicktime upgrade your os to 10.6) At least I hope that's the issue. Thanks for the info though. need to get through this weekend and get this project done for a live performance, then I can worry about upgrading OS.

(OSStatus error -50.) video files not playing please help

I own a Nikon D300s, I have been downloading video from it for quite a while without any issues, but today when I tried to open some of my video clips I received the error code below...
*The movie could not be opened*.
Operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error -50.)
I am curious if anybody else has had this problem and how can I solve it?
I posted it here because all my clips are Quicktime AVI logos. All the video that works show the start of the clip.
HELP!!
thanks

I just got a new MBP yesterday and have perian, but i cannot open an .mkv file that could on my old computer. I have the most recent version of perian, this should be working. If anyone has any idea what OSStaus Error -50 means, please tell me and help me fix it because a new computer is supposed to work BETTER than the one that was four years old and couldn't run iTunes at the same time as Pages.

TS1717 iTunes will not open- please help!

My iTunes will not open. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the same message keeps showing up when I try to open iTunes. The error reads "C\Windows\system32\dssenh.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."
Please Help!!!

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with one of the Windows OS dlls associated with Cryptographic Services.
I'd first try the fixit from the following Microsoft document. (One of the things it does is reregister your copy of the dssenh.dll file.)
You cannot install some updates or programs
... but if you still get the issue, I'd try an sfc /scannow as per the instructions in the following document:
How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

Freehand Download Not Opening - PLEASE HELP.....

I purchased Adobe Freehand a while back but have had to reload the package. I went onto the official site viewed my downloads and re-downloaded the package but have been unable to open the zip file. I keep getting the following error message:
"Cannot open file it does not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file try downloading it again"
I have tried about 4 times but still get the same error message.
Really have no idea what to do?????
PLEASE HELP

Is the extension ".zip" at the end of the name of the downloaded FreeHand? If not, type it in and try again to open it.
If the extension says ".sit" then it is a mac archive and you will need Stuffit: http://www.stuffit.com/mac-expander.html to open it up.

Itunes Icon bounces, will not open PLEASE HELP!?

I have an Imac G4 running 10.4.11. I am/was using Itunes 7.6.4. About a month ago afer downloading and installing updates from the system updater, My Itunes stopped working. When I attempt to open the app either from the dock or from the applications folder, the Icon will bounce once, sometimes two or three times, then stop, and the App will never load. I tried repairing permissions, no response. I tried removing the "com.apple.itunes.plis" file from User>Library>Preferences because i saw it in a forum for a similar problem on this site, no response. I backed up my music, deleted itunes, and reinstalled, no response. I deleted the application, then attempted to install an older version of itunes 7.5, same result.
I dont know if it matters, but i have a Shuffle model A1204, and an Iphone. I am at a loss. I have all my discs that came with the computer, and I'm up for trying anything. Im at whits end. Please help.

You may have to reinstall the OS or even upgrade to Leopard. By the way, get a new mac if you want to upgrade.

Core Mac software not opening (PLEASE HELP)

Hey guys
I recently did a clean sweep of my computer using MacKeeper, to clean my caches, junk and duplicate files, now my programs like iCal, IChat, Mail, Address Book are not opening up when I click on them, is there a remedy for this without re-installing snow leopard?

Some "clean sweep." Try running the 10.6.4 combo updater and see if that helps. Repair permissions before and after.

Itunes 7.0.2 will not open- please help!

I have just downloaded the new itunes 7.0.2. It downloads seemingly successfully and the icon appears on my desktop but if I try to open it an hourglass appears for a second, then disappears and then nothing happens at all. It refuses to open at all and gives no error message.
Please help!!

Make sure your Windows software is up to date. I was having the exact same problem, but then I went to microsoft.com, updated my software (I don't use the automatic updates), rebooted, then removed iTunes, iPod, and QuickTime completely from my computer (using add/remove programs in the Control Panel), rebooted, then reinstalled iTunes 7, and now it is working perfectly.
Also check to make sure your anti-virus software firewall is allowing full access to itunes.exe, ituneshelper.exe, quicktimeplayer.exe, qttask.exe, and qtinfo.exe.
Hope this helps. Only took me five hours to get mine working.

Original files not found, please help.

I am running iTunes 8.0.1.11, and I have about 11.5 gigs or so of music. Today I fired up iTunes and started skimming through songs like I often do, only to start playing a song and have the "original file not found" message pop up. I took a deeper look, and the majority of my 3200 songs show this message. There is no common factor between these songs, some are from the iTunes Store, some are from CD's, and some are from various mp3 services. In some cases, a few of the songs from a CD are missing, while others are present. Under "iTunes Music" in "My Music", the music folders (ie "Linkin Park") are present, but it appears that all the music has been deleted from in them.
I am a little miffed at this, because I had quite a few rare albums and EPs in my collection, and none of them were backed up.
Is there any way to get them back? Perhaps the file paths were changed? I hope that the music is still on the HD somewhere, and that I don't have to hunt down all these albums again. Any help would be great.

Sadly, I've been looking around for around an hour for an answer to this problem, yet to just waste time.
I have the same problem and can't find an obvious way to fix it. Nothing works without asking me to locate the file in my music folders. On my iPhone I have roughly 35-40 artists listed, on iTunes I have 9 that are listed in the music folder, only about 15 of my 349 songs work. Sadly, I can't update my iPhone until this is fixed, thank goodness for the wall charger! I've noticed that it made the songs that were "Un-checked" go missing and the "Checked" songs are perfectly fine!
This problem has been around for ages, this happened to me like a year ago on a different version of iTunes. Yet, I haven't seen APPLE mention anything about it, at least acknowledge it! If I find an answer I won't waste anytime and will post it immediately, but as for now APPLE <insert phrase>(I'm going to use the phrase 'is lazy')!

Also I would like to add that it seems like my songs have disappeared from my HDD, amazingly! That or they have been moved somewhere else. I originally had the songs on my old dell, copied the songs to my new HDD for my new PC. Then that HDD went bad, so I moved it to my other HDD, so I have back-ups.

I tunes not opening, please help

First, I am running I tunes on windows. Anyway. Every time that I click on my I tunes icon, the loading hour glass will apear for about 5 seconds, then dissapear without loading I tunes. I worked before but not anymore. Also I am not sure this matters, but I have installed other audio/video programs, Realplayer and windows media player, after i installed i tunes. Please help

I have exactly the same problem as you, although I haven't tried installing the stand alone version of Quicktime yet. I've seen countless people that have problems with the new iTunes and Quicktime.
I love my iPod, but it really annoys me how after paying loads of money for it I struggle to use the program I need to put music on it.
I had no problems at all with the old iTunes and Quicktime. I've heard that Apple could take ages before they sort out the problems with the new iTunes, but I hope that with the amount of people unsatisfied they will make an effort to come up with a solution quick.
I can actually use iTunes if I keep constantly trying to re-install it, usually every single time I want to start it up. But there are people who can't get it to work at all and I can understand they are even more annoyed.
Please sort this out Apple!

My Itunes will not open, please help

I am running version 10.7.0.21 - since upgrade itunes will not open. I have visited the support site and done many things to get this working - taken hours of my time I do not have, including setting up a new user and same result.
My PC is running Windows 7. I need my itunes as I have 4 ipods and 3 iphones - I need to back up a phone as I have just upgraded,
One error I seem to have caught is as follows:
Problem Event Name     BEX
Application     itunes.exe
Version     10.7.0.21
timestamp     504d85d9
Fault Module Name Quicktime.qts_unloaded

If someone has some suggestions, it would be much appreciated.

The iphoto and itunes will not open please help

on my Mac G5 the iphoto and itunes will not open can anyone help

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Then, hold the Option key down when trying to open iPhoto, does it ask where it's Library is? Or what exactly happens?

Web pages do not open - Please Help

I've noticed that both web browsers i'm using (Safari and Firefox) will not open certain web pages. They begin to load them then freeze half way through and never load (I've waited 20-30 mins and still nothing). Here are a couple of the effected pages addresses;
http://www.myspace.com/
http://www.lloydstsb.com/
http://www.littlewoods.com/
These plus many more.
I wanted to know if this is something anyone else is experiencing? Other computers (Not Mac) are opening these pages fine.
I'm wireless, running the latest updates and have an early MacBook Pro. I've not made any changes from factory (exept updates) as i've just wiped and
re-installed Tiger. Some pages open fine yahoo, google and others, This is also effecting Firefox!
Any thoughts???

I've been doing a bit of research on this forum and have tried a few of the fixes.
The 4.2.2.2 one - tried it and nothing changed after the reset.
The creating a new account one - still freezes when loading in both accounts.
And finally removing the cookies.plist - made no difference.
I should add I have no firewall running, Mac or after market.
