No Movie, Just Quicktime Logo with Questionmark

I did search through the forum before i posted, and while there are several similar threads I did not find a solution. Heres the url:

Hi guys. Sorry to jump in to this thread like this. I don't have any direct experience of incorporating QuickTime movies in iWeb, but I've taken a look at the source of both shantyfolk's non-functioning pages and James's which work, and I spotted one difference which may be worth exploring.
The actual Quicktime control is included in a javascript file, a function from which is called by the page's HTML. This is an excerpt from this function for one of James's pages:function writeMovie1()
document.write('<param name="qtsrc" value="500CIMG0793.mp4" /><embed pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" type="video/quicktime" class="mov" width="390" height="536" src="FA9A7774-4386-4F96-8D75-A5182F7074B7_files/QTPlaceholder.mov" qtsrc="500CIMG0793.mp4" controller="true" autoplay="false" scale="tofit" volume="100" loop="false"></embed>');
}This is the same section of the same function for one of shantyfolk's pages:function writeMovie1()
document.write('<param name="qtsrc" value="bubbles%20and%20glass.m4v" /><embed pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" type="video/quicktime" class="mov" width="379" height="300" src="C6980FBE-700B-46C6-98F2-8457C190C8B1_files/QTPlaceholder.mov" qtsrc="bubbles%20and%20glass.m4v" controller="true" autoplay="false" scale="tofit" volume="100" loop="false"></embed>');
Apart from movie sizes and file names and locations, the only difference between a page on which the movie works and one on which it doesn't is the movie file extension — this is mp4 for James's working movie and m4v for shantyfolk's non-working one. Is there any possibility, shantyfolk, that your server just doesn't like the m4v format?

QuickTime logo with a question mark on it

Some websites i go to show a picture or video instead a faint quicktime logo with a question mark shows up. How do I get rid of it and show the picture or video instead?

I find it interesting that this is clearly a topic of interest since 450 people have clicked on it---significantly more than the other questions on this page---and yet, NO ANSWER.
I have not been able to download Apple trailers. For instance, just went to a link to download the trailer for You Kill Me:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/youkillme/
Click on Medium size for the screen, so I go here:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/youkillme/medium.html
A little button says you have to have version 7 of Quicktime which I keep downloading, since I keep trying to see trailers.
Although I know I've downloaded this software in the past, I'm getting the crazy Quicktime Q with a question mark.
So I go so far as to download Quicktime 7, yet again, then Restart. Try the movie. Still get the question mark in the Q.
What is up with this??????

QuickTime logo with a question mark

Apologies if this is answered somewhere else, but I couldn't find the exact problem and I'm also very new at this.
On certain web pages I get a quick time logo with a question mark over it appearing, that seems to indicate some kind of missing plug-in (though I may be wrong about this). It's only started happening recently, but I can't pinpoint why. I have Flip4Mac, Quick Time Pro and the latest (I think) Flash Player installed. It means that I cannot read certain pages or see certain elements of pages. As an example, I tried to visit 'www.menierchocolatefactory.com/index2.asp', but just got a big QuickTime logo with question mark. I downloaded their suggested plug-in, but to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Not sure what resets these settings. Glad the solution was one of the easier paths.
Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

Quicktime logo with question mark appears instead of flash content

since updating my system yesterday to OS x 10.4.11 i have been unable to view flash content with _all browsers_. *Quicktime logo with question mark* appears instead. Spent 4 hours trying every fix suggested by Mac forums worldwide - with no result. Took the computer to the apple store where they actually took 60 euros off me for NOT fixing the problem. Still cannot view any flash content. Any help would be appreciated

These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11.
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!

Quicktime movies won't play - Displays quicktime logo with question mark

Hello,
I've searched the forums and haven't found a solution so I decided to straight out ask. I can no longer view quicktime clips (Apple movie trailers) in safari. The box comes up to play but then just displays the Quicktime "Q" with a question mark over it. I've checked the installed plug-ins from the help menu and it does show quicktime. This used to work fine so I'm not sure what happened. I cleared my history recently but don't think that would affect it. Also, everything runs fine when using Firefox. Thanks in advance for any help.

HI,
*"Also, everything runs fine when using Firefox. "*
Since it's working in Firefox, Try Safari maintenance...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
Since you are running Snow Leopard, make sure Safari is running in 32-bit mode, not 64. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache Go to ~/Library/Safari/ and webpageIcons.db to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
If nothing above helps, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.

Audio: Quicktime Logo with Question Mark Appears

When attempting to listen to an audio file linked on a web page, I get a new screen with the Quicktime logo superimposed by a question mark and a dialogue box offering to take me to a page of Quicktime components. (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=OSX&ctype=73646563&c subtype=6d730022) And then it just leaves me there with no guidance. What components are the ones I need to play this audio clip? This page, or the script (?) that kicks in when I attempt to play an audio file that needs additional components, is so frustrating. I wish it told me what component is missing. I have read thru the descriptions and downloaded some of the components that seem like they might have something to do with playing an audio file, but still, the file does not play, still the **** logo with the question mark. I have QT 7.5 on a brand new iMac. I have played audio files just previously on the same website. Anybody have any advice on what component is needed or how I find that out?

Hmmm, that didn't help. As I continue through the pages of the website, I find that it is only one audio clip that is not working so far. BTW, this website seems super-antiquated and badly put together, so perhaps it's a problem with the website.

I was having the same problem with the Quicktime Question Mark appearing on web pages and emails, in both Safari 1.3.2 and Firefox 2.0.0.3. This glitch started after installing the Quicktime 7.1.6 update. I was reticent to downgrade to Quicktime 7.1.5, because 7.1.6 had some important security updates installed. I followed the advice of Quicktime Kirk and deselected FlashPlayer in Quicktime Preferences. This fixed the problem in Safari, but not in Firefox. I then went to VersionTracker.com and searched for the newest update for Adobe FlashPlayer. I installed Adobe FlashPlayer 9.0.45, and now have no problems in Firefox. It appears that this may have been a FlashPlayer problem rather than a Quicktime problem...but as long as it's working, I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Some of the pictures I am trying to use don't quite fit into the pre-set frames... Is there a way to move just the photo with-in the frame so to use the best part of the picture?

Some of the pictures I am trying to use in Idvd don't quite fit into the specified frame... Is there a way to just move the picture itself within the frame to use the best part of the pic... For example I'm trying to use a picture of my son..but his head gets cut off when I drag the picture into the place holder....

When trying to troubleshoot my problem I discovered a forum that was saying certain NTFS drives work just fine
Apple support says that an NTFS or exFAT drive cannot be used when connected to the AirPort Extreme.
I suppose it is possible that someone might have been using some type of special software on the drive that might perform a "conversion", but without more details, it is hard to know.
Note: ExFAT and NTFS formats aren't supported.

IPhone Apple home screen has Quicktime logo with question mark. Why?

This started about 3 days after MacWorld Extravaganza. I have QT v 7.1.3. All my QT movies that I made from iMovie play as does QT's on the Apple website. Anyone else have this problem?

Regarding your post. normally I open up almost everything with Preview however I inadvertantly opened a pdf with Adobe reader not long after I posted the question and the Apple homepage started working about that same time. I wonder if that had something to do with it? Now that I think of it, when I did a reboot yesterday the Adobe Manager appeared upon start-up. Maybe it downloaded the new Flash player update.

Quicktime logo continually appearing with a question mark

Recently various pages viewed with Safari (and Firefox) are not displaying correctly and a Quicktime logo with a question mark is being shown. I thought I had perhaps erased a codec of some sort but I cannot solve the problem. I cannot view any flash animations, movies within web pages etc.
Help!!!

The Quicktime logo with a question mark refers to Flash video.

Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)

You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Question mark on Quicktime logo

Just updated my Quicktime and everytime I try to go to something that requires Quicktime I get a logo with a broken corner or the Quicktime logo with a Question mark in the middle.
I have done everything I was supposed to, and it says it downloaded successfully, the logo is there but when I try to open anything I get the question mark.

I have had this problem too, and recently found a solution that worked for me over on this forum: http://sillydog.org/forum/index.php
(found by scouring google results for "quicktime question mark windows xp")
(also, I had already changed QT's MIME settings so that it wasn't handling Flash swf movies -- it didn't help)
the solution goes as follows:
copy this file >C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll
to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins
That did it for me.
Hope that helps.
This worked for me.
Now I can watch trailers on the Apple site again.
the flash plugin you'll be moving is version 8.0 r22, which replaced my newly installed version 9.0 r16. I have no idea why this worked... Anyone have any input on that?

Can't View Flash sites, Quicktime Logo Error

I have a Intel based Mac that was running Flash Player 8 for
my browsers, Safari, FireFox and IE. Things were going just dandy
until I came across a site that needed Flash Player 9 in order to
view. So I go to the Macromedia download center to get the latest
version of Flash Player 9 and install the Intel based Mac version.
Unfortunately, not only can I not see the Flash test page on
Macromedia's site but now I can see any Flash website at all in all
3 browsers. I get a Quicktime Logo with a question mark over it. I
went through every step on Macromedia's Flash Player
Troubleshooting list and no luck. Would anyone happen to know how
to fix this?
Thanks very much!

Quicktime conflict with Flash

Looks like something happened with the MIME sittings or something, because Quicktime is trying to play videos that Flash should be playing. I'm greeted with the Quicktime logo with a question mark superimposed, which gives me the impression Quicktime is trying to play Flash videos. This is apparent just about everywhere from ads to well...Flash videos! I tried disassociating Quicktime from Flash videos and just about any other video format but Quicktime continues to try and read Flash videos (and fails all the time I might add). I have uninstalled Quicktime and tried to see the videos but now there would be blank spots where the videos should play! I tried to reinstall Flash Player but it won't do anything different, Quicktime continues to butt in (if Quicktime is uninstalled and Flash still installed, blank spots still show and it won't play anything).
How can I fix the settings so that Flash plays Flash videos again? It might not be the right place to ask, however, Quicktime seems to be the problem here, so I think it'd be good to start asking questions here.

Open the QuickTime Control Panel and find the tab that holds the MIME Settings button. Remove the check mark for Flash Media (Miscellaneous) and restart your browser.
Make sure you've installed the Flash Player (and its plug-in).

White question mark inside quicktime logo

I used to be able to open a video attachment in email by clicking on it. Now when I do that I get "loading" and nothing happens.
Then I get the quicktime logo with a white question mark in the middle. If I download the video I cn see it, but if I try to see it
from the email I have to down load again - putting another copy in download. Can I fix this?

None of the videos at that site worked for me. Looking through the page code I couldn't find a URL for the QuickTime files.
Only the page author can fix it.
src="http://chnmstreaming.gmu.edu/historicalthinking/Scopes_Stream.mov"
QTKirk, source code appears to be pre-cached by previous web page before jumping to this page. In any case, the streaming server appears to be down or at least off-line when you try to access the video stream directly which probably explains both the displayed question mark and the "now you see it—now you don't" nature of access mentioned by the OP here.

Quicktime Problems With Safari

Ok I don't know what the heck i did or whatever hapend but every page on the internet in safari that uses quicktime now gives me the quicktime logo with a question mark in front of it when it didn't before. Anyone know what happend?

I was having the same problem, it was driving me nuts. Try going to this page:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1054143&#1054143
I followed the advice to drag the
QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
file out of my Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins folder, and put it on the desktop. Quit and restarted Safari, went back to QuickTime, and this time it worked. Good luck!
