No more Quicktime on Internet Explorer PCs

When any PC with Internet Explorer reaches any page with Quicktime it will show the following message:
An Error occured in an plugin contained on this page.
This plugin did not initialize properly.
You get this message for example when you reach the apple.com/quicktime page.
Unfortunately I have used quicktime movies on several websites of my clients. They are now all calling and complaining that nobody can see the movies.
Any ideas for a workaround?? Other than that I have to replace all quicktime movies with flash???
Was the problem caused by a Microsoft patch, or is it the newest Quicktime version? Is it Microsoft again trying to monopolize their windoof media format?
Whodany

by the way Quick, the apple.com/quicktime link is also causing this error, in case you misunderstood me...
Anyway I was fiddling around a little:
I replaced my existing code:
<embed src="movies/CapriTrailer10.mov" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" autoplay="true" controller="true" loop="false" width="480" height="370" align="middle" target="quicktimeplayer">
with:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">QTWriteOBJECTXHTML('movies/CapriTrailer10.mov','480','370','','controller','TRUE','target','m yself','type','video/quicktime');</script>
But only on one page, wasn't sure if it would work, and swoosh all of a sudden all Quicktime Videos are working on all pages.
Do you guys who had the same error, are still getting it??? Did Apple fix something? Did Microsoft fix something?
Or did entering this code in my browser just fix it for only me???
I am restarting the PC now, lets see if it will still work...
yes it still working...
so let me know please, is it also working for all of you???
Or did that java script attempt change something in only my browser?
Thanks

  • Quicktime for Internet Explorer 64-bit not working?

    The past couple days I was doing some testing on a computer running Windows 7 64-bit. I noticed that while using Internet Explorer, any embedded Quicktime media would prompt the surfer to download Quicktime when in fact it's already installed on the system.
    When I'd approve the download/installation anyhow I'd get a brief pause, then nothing. No error message, but IE still did not have QT capabilities. Tried multiple times, still no luck.
    Is QT even compatible with IE 64-bit? It's a concern for me not because I actually use IE (and certainly don't want to get into an argument over the merits of various OSs and browsers), but because I'm presenting a large archive of Quicktime videos and I want them to be compatible with a variety surfers' systems.

    Good-O.
    Working on the principle that this might be caused by some subtle damage to the QuickTime program files relating to ActiveX controls, I think we should try a clean uninstall/reinstall of QuickTime, taking a few other explicit precautions along the way (just in case).
    First, download and save a fresh copy of the QuickTime installer from the Apple Website. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet. Get the installer that doesn't mention iTunes.)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel. Uninstall QuickTime.
    Next we'll clear away any leftover program files and folders.
    In "Computer" open "Local Disk C:" or whichever drive you have your *program files* installed on.
    Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
    Right-click on the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete").
    Go back into "Local Disk C:" or whichever drive you have your *operating system* installed on.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    Right-click on the QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx files (if they still exist) and select "Delete".
    Restart the PC.
    After the PC restarts, do not open any applications (especially not either of the IE 8 browsers). Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software. (Firewall, antivirus, antispyware.)
    Now start the QuickTime reinstall by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier.
    (This may also update your Apple Application Support to version 1.3.0 ... I'm not sure whether or not the QT 7.6.6 installer bundle has been modified to include the new version yet.)
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    Did the QuickTime install seem to go through okay?
    If so, fire up the 64-bit version of IE 8 and browse to a website containg QuickTime content ... like Apple.com, for example. Do you get asked by IE to install the ActiveX component this time around? If so, does it install properly this time?

  • Is firefox ACTUALLY more secure than Internet Explorer 8?

    Hello Mozilla forum members. I am currently a Firefox user. An NSSLabs test claims Internet Explorer 8 is the most secure web browser. Some other sources also agree. Can anyone tell me if this is true? Thanks!
    Here is the link: http://nsslabs.com/test-reports/NSSLabs_Q12010_BrowserSEM_Summ_FINAL.pdf
    == I was browsing through the Microsoft site and the NSSLabs site.

    Depends on how much you want to trust a company that has a history of accepting vendor funding, like from M$.
    http://www.thetechherald.com/article.php/200912/3268/Can-you-trust-the-NSS-Labs-report-touting-the-benefits-of-IE8
    http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/091009-nss-labs-independent-testing.html
    And you need to question why they were testing Firefox 3.5.7 in January 2010 when the very stable beta 4 of Firefox 3.6 was available at that time. I was using 3.6b4 and <u>'''never'''</u> had a problem.
    AND......'''~~red:they were not testing the browsers~~'''. <u>'''What, you say?'''</u>
    Look at footnote 1 on page 3 of the full report ( http://nsslabs.com/test-reports/NSSLabs_Q12010_GTRBrowserSEM_FINAL.pdf ):
    '''''Note: This study does not evaluate browser security related to vulnerabilities in plug-ins or the browsers themselves.'''''
    So what was NSS Labs testing? Section 1 (pages 5-6) explains that. Reading Section 1.2, they were testing the ability of Google Safe-Browsing (in the case of Firefox) and the protection that it affords in keeping users from even getting onto malicious sites. I do not know what the other tested browsers use for comparable protection. Do you? I would not depend on Google Safe Browsing or any other such service for my full protection. Would you?
    Moving on, read Section 2.1.1 carefully...."''1,756 potentially malicious sites''" pared down to 562 sites, but their methodology in choosing the 562 sites is not explained. What if the other 1,194 sites had been included? Would it have changed the results or conclusions reached? You should be saying "Hmmmmmmmm" at this point.
    Do yourself a favor:
    -Read such reports carefully and <u>'''in full'''</u> (not just the summary) with your brain "in-gear".
    -Keep all of your system defenses up-to-date, firewall, AV/AS, scan regularly with multiple scanners (none is 100% correct, 100% of the time). IMPORTANT: Never run over-lapping security applications (i.e., 2 firewalls, 2 anti-virus/anti-spyware) at the same time. Two is NOT better than one in this case.
    -Do you know what '''services''' and '''processes''' are running on your system, why they are running and what the function of each might be? Do you '''actively''' monitor incoming and outgoing connections? Do you log connections and review them?
    -Don't visit questionable sites (porn, warez, less than legal music and video download sites, etc.)
    -Base part of your judgement on your own experience; have you experienced any security related problems with what you are using? If so, then make a change <u>'''NOW'''</u>!
    Good luck.

  • Disable Quicktime plugin for Internet Explorer

    There has been discussion on a number of forums regarding the Quicktime plugin for Windows Internet Explorer and how it will hijack file associations, preventing them from being opened up with your default application. This only occurs when clicking on a link on a website. This even occurs when the file assocations in Windows are set to open a particular media file with your desired player. Disabling the Quicking plugin in the Internet Explorer settings may only makes things worse because instead of the file playing with the Quicktime plugin, Internet Explorer displays a red "X", and doesn't play the media. Uninstalling Quicktime is a solution, but if you, like me, own a Apple device and use iTunes, Quicktime must be installed. There are a number of postings on the web with potential solutions, but none of them worked for me.
    After troubleshooting for some time, I have finally figured out how to disable the plugin once and for all. I have narrowed it down to the registry entry that apparently loads the plugin into Internet Explorer. By simply deleting this entry, the Quicktime plugin will no longer load with IE and media will be launched with your favorite player. You can easily revert back to the Quicktime plugin by restoring the registry entry from a backup. Below, I have provided the reg.exe command line commands to backup and delete the registry entry.
    1) Close out of Internet Explorer.
    2)Backup with this command:
    reg export "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69} " C:\qt_plugin1.reg
    NOTE: This registry path is for Windows x64 (64-bit). I am not certain of the path for Windows x86 (32-bit), but I assume you may just need to remove Wow6432Node from the path. If it is not there, open regedit.exe and search for 4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69.
    3) Delete with this command:
    reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69} " /f
    4) Open Internet Explorer and test. When you click on a music or video link, your default media player should now launch.
    I have tested this myself several times, including a reinstallation of Quicktime, and it worked. If it doesn't work for some reason, you can try performing the same steps with the following registry entries. Do one at a time and test so that you don't delete anything unnecessary.
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{CB927D12-4FF7-4A9E-A169-56E4B8A75598}
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B}
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Compo nents\3F9E7EA97A1AEE54490637032025DEF9
    If you wish to restore the Quicktime plugin, simply double-click the registry file that you backed up in step 2. Click yes when it asks you to confirm. Now when you open Internet Explorer and click on a link, the Quicktime plugin will load and play the media.

    I mentioned I have the Acrobat Pro 9 version.
    Also, Im using IE 8.

  • Internet Explorer - Memory Usage

    Hi,
    I have developed a VC model and deployed it in the portal. When i execute the model in internet explorer 7 or 6, the memory usage keeps building up and does not drop even after getting all the data. I have got couple of popup iviews in the model which when executed increases the memory usage further more and eventually internet explorer stops responding.
    Currently the only way to clear the memory is to close the Internet explorer window. Is there any other way to flush out the memory after the data has been retrieved from the back-end.
    Regards,
    Ravi.

    Hi Ravi,
    I googled in and found few links which can be helpful to you.

    Dear All,
    How to stop Internet Explorer upgrade to IE 10 & IE 11 
    In our environment we have around 300 workstations.I need to stop all of the machine users from manually downloading and installing IE.Also how do it stop the IE from updating using Group policy on windows server 2008 & windows server 2003.
    All users machine are on windows 7.
    Basically i want all users to get restricted to IE9.
    Thanks ..

    Hi Mike,
    >>Basically i want all users to get restricted to IE9.
    Internet Explorer 10 will be available as an “Important” update through the Automatic Update feature of Windows Update. Users of Windows 7 Service Pack 1, who have opted to
    download and install updates automatically through Windows Update (recommended setting), will automatically be upgraded to Internet Explorer 10.
    However, we can prevent users from upgrading to IE 10 via Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.

  • Browser similar to Internet Explorer for Mac?

    I've got on-line training for work that I can do from home, but the site is not fully compatible with Safari. Its good in some windows, but in others its bad enough that I can't actually do the work. The application says it requires Internet Explorer. My question - is there another browser for the Mac that may more closely match Internet Explorer that I could try?

    Hi
    It depends what "requires Internet Explorer" means. If it relies on Windows-only DirectX features, then you won't be able to get it working from the Mac OS no matter what browser you use. If you have an Intel Mac, you could install Windows via Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion and run IE from there.
    If it's more a matter of appearance, and the site relies on IE's (frankly, awful) web standards interpretation, then you might try Firefox or Camino and see if they serve you better.

  • Will you ever give us developers some decent tools for testing in Internet Explorer?

    Today I got a bug report for one of our websites, and its a bug that only affects IE10, no other browsers.  
    My office has just upgraded to Windows 8.  To then realise that IE11 is installed and you do not allow us to install IE10.  What good is that?  Seriously.
    I know you have that compatibility mode, but that really doesn't work as well as you think it does.  Not for styling issues anyway.  Please please please help developers out and give us tools so we can actually test things in different versions
    of browsers.  Let us install different versions of browsers without them affecting each other.  Just something so we as developers can actually make a product that works in all your versions of IE.

  • Pop ups wont work in firefox but work in Internet explorer 8 optimized

    i love using Firefox, i like that its more customizable than internet explorer but for some reason no matter how many time i uninstall and reinstall i keep having the same problem where pop ups wont work, so if im playing a game on Pogo.com and i have to open a window up, it wont work in Firefox. Is there something i can do to solve this problem, i would like to disable internet explorer on my system and use only Firefox but i need to keep internet explorer for when i need to be able to open a pop-up window.... any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Does Gmail work better in a private browsing window? This is a test to see whether cookies are a factor. You can create a new private window by either:
    * Pressing Ctrl+Shift+p
    * orange Firefox button (or File menu) > New Private Window
    More generally, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Cannot display quicktime object on internet explorer

    i am trying to view the quicktime object at
    http://www.aquamategroup.com/qtvr_mitford.htm
    but on my IE it shows a question mark on the Q symbol.
    I run 64bit windows 7 and have downloaded the latest quicktime from apple.com. I have an HP Pavilion dv2522tx notebook. What is the problem?
    THanks!

    Uninstalling/reinstalling QuickTime did not fix the problem. Still get a script error and no QuickTime ActiveX plugin installed when accessing a web page with the embedded player on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with Internet Explorer 8 (64-bit).
    I did more experiments and found the following: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit comes with two versions of Internet Explorer 8, one is 32-bit and the other is 64-bit. The 32-bit version will install the QuickTime ActiveX plugin and load a video; however, the Controller bar at the bottom of the player is just pure black--you can't see the controls. If you click on the right place, it will play the video. This behavior is the same as for Firefox 32-bit, Chrome 32-bit and Safari 32-bit when running on Window 7 Pro 64-bit: they all exhibit the same problem with their respective QuickTime plugins.
    So, there appears to be two issues: 1) The QuickTime plugins run impaired in 32-bit browsers running on Window 7 (64-bit); and, 2) The QuickTime ActiveX plugin is incompatible with, and will not install in, the 64-bit Internet Explorer 8 browser running on Windows 7 (64-bit).
    If anyone at Apple is paying attention--Please fix this and issue an update. Thank you.

  • Quicktime codec does not work, internet explorer just shuts down!

    I have reinstalled quicktime many times and still I cannot view any videos or movie previews on internet explorer that use the quicktime plugin. When I open the page that is supposed to use the plupin, a window pops up saying I should install the ActivX controller. When I press ok another popup comes up saying that internet explorer needs to shut don because of an error. So it just shuts down. I have tried to go through the support pages and I cant see anything that would seem to help so there is anyone who knows how to fix this problem, I would appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    It's been years since I use Internet Explorer (especially on a PC).
    You must "enable" the ActiveX control in IE. (Probably a preference setting).
    Have you tried using other Web browsers? Most are free.

  • How can I save a web page without creating a dozen or more tiny files, which is worse than Internet Explorer?

    When I try to save a Firefox web page, I get about a dozen tiny files with funny names cluttering up my documents folder, and making it hard to find anything. This reminds me of problems I used to have with Internet Explorer more than ten years ago. But at least, IE was kind enough to gather all of these files in a single folder, named "files". Firefox dumps them all into my documents folder. Messy.
    Years ago, I discovered Opera, which offered a file format that combined the original html code with the other files into one file: an internet archive, with the extension mht instead of htm. I used Opera for years, but recently became aware of the advantages of Firefox.
    A few days ago, I downloaded the latest version of Firefox, and installed it. I have been evaluating it ever since. It looks good; I have figured out (more or less) how bookmarks work, and I'm getting used to the taskbars.
    But when I try to save a page, I still get a deluge of tiny files cluttering up the target folder. Firefox doesn't save pages in archive form, but only in the old scattered form. Of course, I could simply save only the html. Maybe that's the best thing, but it loses a lot.
    The chaos of junky files cluttering up my target folder is enough to send me back to Opera, despite its limitations.

    This extension allows for web pages to saved on MHT format. <br />
