On Dell core2duo - QuickTime PictureViewer does not work

I have some considerable problems with QuickTime's PictureViewer application. The system has Windows XP pro and a core 2 Duo processor running at 1.86Ghz - also has 2 Gb ddram. Norton internet security is installed and up to date.
Once the PictureViewer application is launched and used to view a file, the shut down by the X, the UI is still running, even though the application has stopped. I have ACDsee8 as default picture viewer.
I also carry IrfanView to preview single files. No files are default in it.
Is there a trick to using the PictureViewer application?

Howdy neighbor,
I used to live in Maryland and loved the Amish shops and drivers (carriages) along Route 6 and 301.
On the Mac OS Picture Viewer has been replaced by our "Preview" application (part of OS X) and Windows users still get it installed as part of QuickTIme.
It is a relic of the old days of Web use and most modern Windows no longer use Picture Viewer in anything they do day to day.
It appears as though you have assigned image formats to open in your image (viewing/editing) software and not open in Picture Viewer.
QuickTime Control Panel can remove most of these file associations that force Picture Viewer to open the file and you should then be able to assign the application you want to use.

  • Recording desktop in Quicktime 10 does not work in SL

    OS 10.6.8 and QT 10.0 (131)
    I want to record one of my desktop processes with QuickTime (v10.0).  However it does not work, I get the following message:
    The operation couldn't be completed. (OS Status error -108.)
    I do get a file that appears to be the recording but it does not want to open. And I do need to force quit QuickTime almost every time the error appears.
    On my other Mac, also with 10.6.8, it works fine.  So I am puzzled. 
    Anybody know what this could be? How to fix? Open to suggestions.
    I was also looking for a version of QT10 to reinstall it but can not find one. ( I was hoping this might fix it).

    Why not use QuickTime 7.6.6 which is located inside your utility folder?
    I was also looking for a version of QT10 to reinstall it but can not find one.
    You can custom install directly from your system disc that came with your computer.  Follow the onscreen custom install instructions.

  • Quicktime app does not work

    I have just tried to open a TS file on my Mac Pro Yosemite and got a message that ¨ To open this file I needed to download and install Quicktime Mpg2 Playback Component¨,
    Buy online from http.//www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2 which I did. I paid €19.99 and it downloaded. I opened the installer and then got the message ¨QuickTime MPEG2 can't be installed on this disk. This software is intended for an earlier version of Mac OS X ¨.
    I have now paid out to Apple for something that leaves me out of pocket for something they recommend that does not work. How do I get my money back?

    What version of Quicktime are you running?  The MPEG-2 Playback Component is only for Quicktime 7.  It will not work with later versions of Quicktime.  If you are running Quicktime that ships with Lion or later, this component already is included.  However it should still work with Quicktime 7 if it was installed prior to migrating or upgrading to Lion or later.
    Determining QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component version - Apple Support
    OS X: Unable to install QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component - Apple Support
    If the file in question will not run under the Quicktime that shipped with Yosemite, try using VideoLAN.

  • Quicktime movie does not work on hosted iWeb website

    Problem: I have a media file portion on my iWeb designed website that displays pictures (working very well) and one that is supposed to show a movie (not working at all). The movie was made with iMovie and has an .m4v extension. When you click on the link for the movie it shows a blank screen on Firefox and a Quicktime logo with a big question mark on Safari. I'm attempting to view the website on my Mac with the latest Quicktime software on it but it doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fix it?
    Some additional info: the hosting provider is 1and1.com and I have a Windows server package (unfortunately). Also, if I publish the site to a folder the movie area works flawlessly, it just does not work on the hosted site.
    Thanks!!

    Thank you. I converted the file to .MOV and it now works on Safari but has not worked on Firefox (have not tried yet on a Windows based machine). At least headed in the right direction. I will also contact 1and1. Thanks again.

  • Dell laptop headphone jack does not work when playing audio and video in Firefox 27

    My problem is similar to the one posted in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/986978?esab=a&s=laptop+headphones+don%27t+work+with+firefox&r=2&fpa=1&as=s
    I believe it has little to nothing to do with extensions.
    I have just installed Firefox 27 on the Dell Inspiron 3520 laptop of a friend. She is an unsophisticated user who has a computer for email, simple web browsing, and watching YouTube and other online videos. Because she frequently seems to end up with junk on her machine, I wanted to switch her over to Firefox so I could install ad and script blockers that would hopefully slow down the frequency of adware and malware roosting in her system.
    The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 3520 with an Intel celeron CPU (64-bit), running Windows 8. There are standard end-user applications installed (Adobe Reader, VLC Media Player, etc.), but no tweaking utilities, etc. The audio drivers are Cirrus Logic High Definition Audio.
    I've been troubleshooting the laptop today trying to track down why the integrated speakers continue to work when the headphones are plugged in, with no sound coming through the headphones. Because I had run a series of virus / malware / adware scans just before installing Firefox, I thought I had mistakenly deleted some system audio files.
    It finally became clear after toggling multiple settings, playing with Windows and Dell sound settings, and experimenting, that the headphone audio jack still works as it should in the system itself (for example, playing videos through VLC Media Player) and in Internet Explorer. It is only in Firefox that plugging in the headphones does not send audio through the headphones nor cut out the integrated speakers.
    Sometimes there is a silencing of the integrated speakers for a few seconds, but then the audio kicks in again. (I am using YouTube and a certain movie streaming website to test the audio).
    However, if the headphones are plugged in before starting the videos, the sound comes through the headphones, but unplugging the headphones, then reinserting them, stimulates problem again. Not only that, but then in YouTube the video will stall and can't be restarted until the page is reloaded.
    Again, this is a fresh Firefox install of less than 24 hours, with only Adblock, Adblock Plus Pop-up Addition, Flashblock, and NoScript installed. There are no themes installed and most of the Options are the defaults that are set upon installation.
    I have both disabled the add-ons and uninstalled them entirely before testing the headphone funtionality. In both instances the problem persisted. I've also uninstalled and let Windows re-install the Cirrus audio drivers.
    Does anyone else have any insight into this problem, and any potential solutions other than "start in Safe Mode" and "reset Firefox"?

    Firefox can switch audio devices within ~ a + or - 10 minute period or so (Just a guess). At which point it latches onto the audio device and will never change until the entire process is shutdown (read last paragraph, there is an exception)
    Ive had this problem for a few months now, at least. And I switch back and forth from my sound system and my wireless USB headset.
    If anything will fix this i believe it would be disabling "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in the properties of your default audio device, but i doubt it. I think this is an issue regarding the code in firefox itself.
    I'd like to see this turned into a default feature, being able to disable and enable the ability to stay on whichever device was the default at the time of launch, or to always play on the current default device, even if its changed. That or being able to choose a specific device/devices (WOULD LOVE TO THIS).
    Other than that I dont really have a solution, and I kind of doubt anyone will unless its addressed in the next update.
    Oh I thought of one solution that doesnt require restarting firefox, disable the current audio device and the sound will automatically switch to the next available device. Or possibly when a new device is introduced?? I havent done much testing on the matter though. This is just my best guess based on my personal experience with firefox.

  • QUICKTIME PLAYER DOES NOT WORK IN MOUNTAIN LION 10.8.4?? IT LAGS WHENEVER I SPEAK IN MY MICROPHONE?

    I recently updated my macbook pro to the new 10.8.4 update of apple, which i thought was pretty cool
    But whenever i use Quicktime Player (The version of my Quicktime is 10.2) for recording with my Blue Yeti microphone, it starts to lag when i talk on screen and it started to annoy me A LOT! :/
    Is it because of my Quicktime player version?
    Please help, this has never happened before i updated my laptop!

    Then I don't really know why it isn't working. What you might try is this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    After this is completed download and install 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo).

  • Quicktime Plugin does not work in Firefox

    This is my problem: out of the blue, Quicktime stopped playing embedded files in Firefox. I'm told that I need to download the appropriate plugin. I have re-installed Quicktime more than once, to no avail. Embedded content will run from IE, but not from Firefox - Quicktime does not even appear in the "about:plugins" page at all.
    I have Quicktime 7.3.1 installed on a PC running Windows XP Home SP2, using Firefox 2.0.0.11. Any help would be appreciated.

    No one? I'm about to switch to QT Alternative, since Apple Support seems not to even know there is such a problem.

  • Airplay from quicktime movie does not  work

    I just updated my iPad2 to iOS5 and my ATV2 to the latest version (4.4, I believe). Both are working fine and runnin the new versions.
    Then I started Safari on the iPad2, loaded the page with the iPhone 4S presentation and played it. Plays fine on the iPad. Then I select the airplay button and it lets me choose between iPad and Apple TV. Good too. But the Apple Tv fails with a complaint about not being able to play the type of content.
    Should this not just work?
    Thanks.

    Thank you. I converted the file to .MOV and it now works on Safari but has not worked on Firefox (have not tried yet on a Windows based machine). At least headed in the right direction. I will also contact 1and1. Thanks again.

  • Quicktime simply does not work, please advise!

    Howdy folks,
    There must be something wrong with my Macbook Pro Version 10.6.2, perhaps its too old to allow QuickTime to work? Maybe I need to buy another Macbook thats more up to date?
    When I open QuickTime player from the Applications folder, it appears in my dock, but nothing else happens. There is no window that actually allows me to do anything with QuickTime. This could be normal, but I am not sure.
    I've been trying to play this movie: http://club2009.upa.org/videos/open-finals for a while now and all that happens is the QuickTime logo appears where the video should be playing. I followed the link at the bottom that says something like 'Problem viewing videos? Download latest QuickTime player'. So I downloaded the latest QuickTime player from the site and during the installation, this message appears:
    'QuickTime can't be installed on this disk. This version of QuickTime 7 can't be installed on this disk because QuickTime X is already present. Please us Software Update to install the appropriate version of QuickTime for your Mac.'
    This is quite frustrating. Please help!
    Many thanks, in advance.

    Sloppy html page code and older codecs may be getting in the way:
    http://video.upa.org/videos/club2009/Club09FinalOpenRevolverVsChain.mov
    It's a huge file but it opens and works for me when I copy/paste the URL (above) into the Open URL dialog window of QuickTime X and 7.6.6 (requires Snow Leopard 10.6.3).
    Run Software Update on your machine.

  • TS3074 Hi, I have followed this advice numerous times, but my laptop still comes up with the same message, "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)." Quicktime also does not work. I have Windows 7, 32 bit.

    I have also reinstalled iTunes dozens (literally) of times. I simply cannot resolve this conflict. I've looked on many other websites, and there seems to be no solution!

    update .netframework to latest version
    then
    Follow the instructions on this link, basically un-install everything, remove programs that says they are made by apple inc. (using add remove program)
    http://www.reimageplus.com/fix-windows-127-error/   (Many thanks to reimageplus.com)
    You will also need to check and verify that the following folders have been removed:
    C:\Program Files\Bonjour
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
    C:\Program Files\iTunes
    C:\Program Files\iPod
    C:\Program Files\QuickTime
    C:\Windows\System32\QuickTime
    C:\Windows\System32\QuickTimeVR
    dont forget to remove icloud also
    you dont need to delete your itune music library though
    If any of these folders still exist, delete them along with their contents. (if you cant delete them, right click and go to properties and then security and change the control of the fold to you)
    do this for files under  program files and program file (x86) on your computer
    once you have deleted everything, restart your computer. Then I repaired my registry using a registry repair program.
    Important:-  instead of installing itunes I installed quick time, which installs apple application support (this is the corrupt file which is causing all the issues)
    i then installed itunes and it all worked fine,
    should take no longer than half hour to fix
    hope this helps

  • Movie trailer or any other links in the quicktime player does not work

    When I click on the movie trailer/Hot picks/Quick picks links on the player interface nothing happens. When I move the Mouse it changes to a hand showing the link is clickable.
    Also when I click on the "Quicktime Website" or the "Quicktime Player Help" from the Help Menu, nothing happens.
    When I go to any apple website and clicks on the sample trailer movies links, it is playing the trailer.
    Anybody may please tell how to solve the problem.

  • 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.

  • Why does quicktime does not work on os lio

    why quicktime x does not work on OS Lion

    QuickTime does work under 10.7, however you may want to check that you're opening the newest copy of it by going to your Applications folder and opening it from there.
    If you keep having trouble with opening it, please let us know what error you might be getting. QuickTime X will open with just a menu bar, then you can go to the file menu and choose to open any file you wanted to open, or choose one of the screen or audio recording options.
