No Sound in Quicktime or iTunes

I just finished restoring my system from Time Machine and now for some reason I get no sound when playing Quicktime files or MP3s. Please help.

Everything seems to be normal there. The system sounds still work. As far as I can tell it just affects iTunes 9 and Quicktime 10. Any ideas?

  • No sound in QuickTime exported videos

    Not sure if this should be posted in iTunes, but being as I used Quicktime to export as .mp4 and .m4v, it seems pertinent to post here.
    So I have a movie that is .mpg. I opened it in QuickTime and exported it as .m4v and then opened it in iTunes. There is no sound from the .m4v when played in iTunes, and no sound when played in QuickTime.
    I tried exporting as .mp4 and the same problem occurs.
    The original has sound in Quicktime and iTunes, but is about 93 MB (so I don't want to add it to an iPod anytime soon at that size).
    Can anyone help?

    Since your files are MPEG-2 format you'll need the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple) and MPEG Streamclip (free).
    Convert your files to DV Stream. This will help preserve quality.
    Open the new .dv file with QuickTime Pro and export. Version 7.0.3 has a new "iPod" preset to use but you can use your own custom settings if you wish.

    I don't own an iPod so I doubt I'll ever use the feature. It appears that there are many supported file extensions that can be used for videos on an iPod.

  • Sound changes when moving mp3 from quicktime to itunes

    When I move a mp3 from quicktime to itunes the sound changes. itunes makes it sound a little worse from the original mix. I dont think its the equalizer becuase i tried fooling around with that and tuning it off for a better result.
    So the mp3 sounds perfect in quicktime but terrible in itunes whats my problem?

    I figured out that if i bring it into itunes as mp4 instead of mp3 it sounds alright.
    So you are not moving the MP3 from QT to iTunes as you wrote in your first post. You are converting from AAC to MP3.
    i tried to burn it and i think it automatically converts it back to mp3 for the burn
    No.
    If you have audio CD selected in iTunes prefs -> Advanced - Burning, it will convert them to an audio CD.
    It willnot convert any other time unless you tell it to convert.
    is there a way to burn it while maintaining the mp4 quality??
    Select Audio CD or Data CD and it will burn an audio file or the MP4 file.

  • No sound in Quicktime Movies

    Whether I watch a movie within IE or within ITunes I no longer get sound from quicktime. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times. My sound card is working as it works with other video players.
    Any ideas where the disconnect is? I've verified the more obvious, ie volume is up in the quicktime player, sounds works on the pc etc.
    Thanks

    I fond this problem too. Especially with mpeg 4 vids. try this fix i found. I think its working.

  • Sound and quicktime problems

    so ever since i downloaded the newest version of itunes and quicktime my itunes simply wont play... also im getting a application error message for quicktime when the computer starts. I have no idea what to do... any ideas??

    ok so following the advice of a computer buddy I did a system restore and brought my itunes back to the old verson. To figure out how to do the restore just use the find or support button in windows and it will give you info and walk you through it! My sound issues were gone. The only problem i encountered was that when trying to open itunes it said my libray could not be opened bec it was a newer version than itunes.
    but if you have this problem all you have to do is search your comp for itunes library. this will bring you librays up that is has savedd over time. find the main one with all the playlists in it and the one with the newest date and move them to your desktop, this keeps itunes from trying to open it. itunes will open with no library and all you have to do is use the file on your desktop with the playlists in it and drag each one to the left side of your itues and the play lists are there again!!!
    my friend just sugested that if and when i do another update to save my old library to my desktop again before the update so if, again, i have problems with the new version i can revert back to the old library again!! hope this helps

  • Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5.

    Object is to sync address and calendar between laptop with Max OS 10.4.11 and iPhone. Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password for the laptop is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5., though it was working prior to the upgrade, for file sharing.

    @ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
    @ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!) 
    @ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack.  i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot. 
    Thanks fo rall yor help!

  • Quicktime and itunes wont install. I have never had quicktime installed on my computer before

    I recently bought an ipod touch 4g and realized that I needed itunes to activate it. After downloading itunes it wouldn't install, no error messages or anything, when I click on the installer it just doesn't do anything.
    After downloading several versions of itunes (older versions) I finally found one that started to install. Then it told me that I need Quicktime on my computer in order for it to install. So I downloaded the latest version of quicktime and had the same problem, when I click on the installer, nothing happens. I tried downloading older versions of quicktime but still had the same problem.
    I have never had quicktime or itunes installed on this computer before, so I know that it isn't an older version of the program hidden in my computer that is preventing the installation from happening.
    My computer is running on Windows 7. I know that there wasn't a problem with downloading the software, the files weren't corrupted or anything. There are no error messages, the software doesn't even partially install. When I click on the installer, nothing happens. I have tried running the programs as an administrator and that doesn't change anything.
    I have tried so many different things, but can't remember everything that I tried. Yesterday I spent nearly 10 hours trying to sort this out because I was determined to get my ipod running. I only stopped when my internet credit ran out and today after buying some more, I am trying again. Please help.

    I appreciate the quick response, thank you for that.
    One thing I did try was windows cleanup utility and searched through the program files for all apple software, but had none. I even deleted the temp files on my computer, and on my internet browser, but nothing happened.
    One thing that I didn't think of was deleting the installation files in my downloads folder, pretty silly of me but I didn't think it would make a difference. I also spent about 2-3gig on downloads yesterday and didn't want to delete the files but as a last resort I did and emptied my recycle bin, then downloaded a fresh copy of Quicktime and finally it installed!
    Now I am in the process of downloading a fresh copy of iTunes, the download hasn't finished yet so I haven't had a chance to install it yet but I have a much better feeling about it this time after deleting all the old installation files from my downloads folder. If Quicktime worked after that, I am sure iTunes will.
    I can't believe it was something so simple as deleting the installation files in my downloads folder and emptying the recycle bin. I had seriously gone through my entire computer looking for any little file that was related to Quicktime or iTunes. I didn't even think of the two most obvious places. I spent so much time and credit downloading multiple files and my computer even got a virus when trying to download a copy from an unauthorized source, I had no problem getting rid of the virus, but struggled with Quicktime and iTunes, that is why I got so frustrated! I feel like an idiot now :-P
    Thank you for your help. I still havent installed iTunes yet, so fingers crossed. I think it will work now though.

  • Quicktime and iTunes "quit unexpectedly" when I try to open them

    I'm getting an error message whenever I try to open either Quicktime or iTunes saying that the application quit unexpectedly. The error report (for both Quicktime and iTunes) says (amongst other things):
    Exception: EXCBADACCESS
    Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE
    Thread 0 Crashed with PPC thread state 64
    Anyone any ideas? Thanks.

    Please post the crash report here so we can view it and offer help.

  • Quicktime or iTunes will no longer open

    I upgraded quicktime to 7 then no .mov files would play. So, used the uninstall/reinstall 6.5.2 now neither quicktime or iTunes will open. I am on a powerbook G4 OS10.3.9 and have never had any problems. Can anyone tell me what's gong on? I first tried deleting any quicktime file from the hard drive and reinstalling QT7 before using the uninstall/reinstall of 6.5.2 now that I think back. Please help.

    There are older posts on this site with the same problem. OS 10.3.9 with Protools hardware will freeze itunes and quicktime 7, the solution is as follows,
    It is from a protools forum and worked for me.
    "Basically the problem has been that the new Quicktime freezes, and takes ITunes with it, when you also have Pro Tools loaded on OSX 10.3.9. Some have remedied this by disconnecting their Digidesign hardware, but it's a temp fix only.
    Re-Installing ITunes will not solve this. You must go to your Digidesign Folder and enter your Digidesign Core Audio Setup then remove ITunes. At this point ITunes should work fine.
    Apple has issued a Quicktime 6.5.2 Re-Installer for anyone who's havimg trouble with the new Quicktime. Here is the link

    It will take care of the Quicktime problem, but not the ITunes problem.
    Hope this may help...

  • 10.6, quicktime, and itunes on a macbook pro 2.53 w/ 4gb ram and ssd

    Hi,
    I am experiencing something extremely weird, and extremely frustrating...
    What I am experiencing is that after I've been using my system for a while, I will launch quicktime, and I will get the spinning ball forever.. If I launch iTunes it will just bounce on my dock forever and not launch.
    Then I have to reboot, which is sometimes impossible to do, so I will have to manually tell my system to shutdown via the terminal.
    When my mac reboots, everything is fine.. Quicktime launches, iTunes launches, happy world...
    ... So I thought it was perhaps something that I was doing (applications that I was running, websites I was visiting etc.), but now I have evidence that it's not. Which is even more confusing. Last night, a friend wanted me to pull up something on quicktime-- I got the spinning ball.. Said "ugh, I don't understand what is up with my system". Clicked restart.. It wouldn't restart.. lauched terminal.. sudo shutdown -h now... Ok.. it's off.. turn it on.. Launch quicktime.. hooray.. there's the video..
    Ok-- That was the extent of me using my computer. I left it on after that for many hours.. and eventually closed the laptop.
    In the morning, opened it up.. Clicked quicktime, and.. SPINNING BALL. Had to reboot.
    so, the only thing I can think is that something is occurring inactivity, or sleep, something that is causing QT and iTunes to mess up... I tried doing various tests, but could not come up with anything. I tried just running my screensaver for a while, but quicktime still comes up no problem.
    Very frustrating.. I want to know if anyone else is experiencing this, and if there are any suggestions for what I should do. I have zapped p-ram, I have repaired permissions...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    1. That's a risk, and more in a MacBook Pro, that has got everything soldered except the hard drive and memory.
    2. If you want performance, buy a SSD. It will get the best performance but they are expensive, so you should consider the option to buy a SSD with a small capacity to store OS X and applications and an external disk for other data.
    3. SSDs are much better than hard disk drives because they haven't got mechanical parts. You will notice this difference in read and write tasks like a startup, that will be much faster. However, in other tasks, it doesn't mind if you have a HDD or a SSD, because performance depends on the processor and graphic card. Also, you will notice a difference with a 7200 rpm hard disk.
    4. You can take it to an Apple Store or reseller to see what they can do in order to repair your computer

  • QuickTime and iTunes video playing fullscreen on external monitor automatic

    Hello, on my Toshiba laptop with nVidia video card, I have an external monitor hooked up to the laptop. Every time I go to play video from QuickTime or iTunes, it plays the video at full screen size on the external monitor while also playing in the normal small window of QuickTime or iTunes on the main (laptop) LCD. I don't have the QuickTime Pro key installed on this machine, nor have I somehow selected to play videos at full screen. It does this whether I want to do it or not, which is quite annoying as the full screen version is usually flickering to boot.
    Help please. I've looked in the QuickTime Control Panel and don't see anything that would cause this problem, nor in iTunes.
    Cheers, Andrew.

    A couple of things you might want to try. Open the QT Player settings, not to be confused with the QT Control panel. There should be settings in there for monitors and dual monitors I believe.
    For the flickering, open the Display control panel>Settings>Advanced>Monitor. Listed under Monitor settings-Screen refresh rate: try changing the setting to 85 Hertz.

  • Quicktime and itunes will not open error message

    I think their is suppose to be two files (QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx) in the systems 32 folder. But there is a quick.ime also in the folder, do I delete it so that my quicktime and itunes work.

    No, quick.ime is not part of Quicktime. Don't delete it.
    If Quicktime will not open, then iTunes can't work.
    Can you give the Quicktime error message in full, and also check in your Windows error logs or Problems & solutions to see if there is more information there.
    You haven't given your Windows version which helps when troubleshooting.
