Mov files won't open on mavericks

hello
i have a problem to open a mov video file that created in iMovie through mountain lion.

.mov file won't open

I have a video that is a 2.12gb .mov file
my editor sent it on a dvd with some .mp4 files
the .mp4 files open perfectly
the big 2.12 gb .move file wont open on anything incluiding adobe media encoder
this is the second round of him sending me 2 different .mov file that wont open.(both are a little over 2gb
All the error messages say it cannot open because it is undf
I asked if he can open it and play it and he sends me a video of him opening it and playing it just fine
I have tried it on two different PC's...same message. I have tried QT and it says it doesnt recognise the file
VLC says undf ( but when i clear the error message...it has a 17:18:12 timeline and it starts playing to a black screen....i have let it play for a while and it looks like it would go for the full 17 hours if i let it...but the video is only 10 minutes...with loits of effects )
Now as a bit of information...he has a really fancy computer that has a PC and a Mac on it
so he does FCP and Adobe
I am wondering if this is a codec problem?
If so is there a way for me get this codec or do i have to have him convert it and send me another DVD?
Thanks!

Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below... A screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing

.MOV file won't open in quicktime

I have a Macbook Air OS 10 version 10.7.2 , Processor 1.68 ghz intel core i5, memory is 4gb 1333 mhz ddr3.
When i drag the .mov quicktime movie file into quicktime player i get this error message: "The document could not be opened. the movie's file format isn't recognized."
What do i need to download to make quicktime play this .mov file?
thanks!

Quicktime isnt a very good movie player. At all. If the file isnt corrupted, and is actually a valid file, then I would download and use VLC Player. It plays nearly every format of video file, and is completely FREE. It IS possible however, that the file you are trying to play is damaged in some way, and wont be played by VLC either. If VLC wont play it, the file is no good.

MOV file won't open in FCP

I was sent an MPEG file to edit and used Quicktime to export it as a movie (Integer, Little Endian, H.264) and yet FCP gives me the "File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown." error when I attempt to import it. Any one have any suggestions?

Shane already mentioned MPEG Streamclip. So go here for a tutorial and download link:

The original tutorial deals with files from DVDs (muxed MPEG2) which can be be found here:

All you have to do is tweak my instructions to suit your local TV standard or a higher res codec.

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files the error message is could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

Keynote '08 files won't open after cable replacement

After what I've read, I'm so glad I didn't have the Apple Store install Maverick when the cable had to be replaced in my MacBook Pro as a work around to a possible drive failure. I thought I had successfully reinstalled everything via disk and back up restoration, but no, my Keynote '08 files won't open in the original program that created them and need "a newer version." Not acceptable. Can someone help me with this? I teach and need my original files for editing!

I presume you mean Keynote version 4, part of the iWork 08 suite, (there is no version 08)
1 - Delete the complete iWork 08 installation, you must use an application removal tool to do this correctly.
2 - (Appcleaner from Mac Update is free and works perfectly for this)
3 - Re-install iWork from the Installation CD and test

HELP! Files won't open and previously had Firefox icon instead of DW icons! Leap Year thing?

Hi! I went to update my website, which I do every night before the first day of every month and all the files had a FIrefox icon instead of the usual Dreamweaver one. I have shut down, reinstalled DW MX 2004 but the files still do not open. The icons have now changed to DW but they are not opening with right click, opening from Applications folder, double clicking the file, from get info and open with DW. I am stumped. HELP! Need to update for March 1st.
Is it something to do with Leap Year 29th Feb? Checked the clock in preferences but can't see how this affects it.
Firefox is always updated but the latest version does not seem to be as efficient as previous upgrades. We installed Chrome as well. Do they interfere with each other?

Hi Ken
I wish the 7.1 updater download had helped but it didn¹t. All the files
were backed up before the installation, which went fine.
Mac 10.5.8
We used Disc Warrior to defrag the hard drive, which did not make a
difference.
We recently started using Chrome, so now have 3 browsers in the dock,
Safari, Firefox and Chrome. Do they interfere in any way with each other?
The files, which I hadn¹t touched for a month as I update on a monthly
basis, initially had the Firefox icon.

mpeg video file won't open in quick time player on my macbook running snow leopard.

HI,
If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
With Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself (on it's own) and restart iChat (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

FCP 5.1 file won't open in FCP 7

Hi.
I am at my wits end...I have a FCP 5.1 file that I have been working on for years.
I had to upgrade to FCP 7 for reasons I won't go into and now my FCP 5.1 file won't open.
It is a file with footage from P2 cards. It has magic bullet/looks builder used throughout. I am not sure if that is the issue at one point ONE of the messages I got when it crashed (I got a few different ones at different times) was something about looksbuilder not working right.
In a nutshell, it slowly starts to open and then quits. (It gets to about 33 percent open over the course of 45 minutes and then crashes.)
The file is about half a gig and there is plenty of room on the MAC itself so it shouldn't be that the Mac is overtaxed.
I don't know what to do.
I tried opening various back-up copies, etc. because I thought maybe something was just corrupted. NONE of them open.
I tried deleting render files to limit how much it was trying to process when it opened the thing.
I even tried turning off the external drives that hold the media hoping that if it couldn't find the media it would just open the shell of a file for me and maybe I could reconnect it all later. Obviously, grasping at straws...
I am out of options. Do I just need to wipe my computer and reinstall 5.1 from scratch? That would stink because there is another project being worked on on the computer that is a FCP 7 file.
I tried putting a copy of FCP 5.1 back on the computer (so I have 7 and 5.1 on there now) to get it to open, but FCP 5.1 won't work either now (I get General Error 41 - whatever that means) Maybe you can't have two versions of FCP on the computer? Maybe it thinks it got opened in 7 so now it won't work in 5? even though it never fully opened? Guessing...
I'd appreciate any and all help. All I want to do is open the 5.1 file and save it in FCP 7 and work from there.
Thanks!
Shari

Hey Michael:
Thanks for the response. I did something similar in that I opened the file on another computer that had FCP 7 and it was fine. So I saved that. Then I went to my Mac and tried to open that file and it crashed...but it said something about Looksbuilder...so I contacted them and they had me uninstall, reinstall and then fix the preference files for Looksbuilder and it now opens.
YAY!
Thanks again,
Shari

Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari. I have Reader 9.4.5. It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.

MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.

Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4. I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.
