Only .mov files will open

My iMac hung up today and AppleCare helped me clear out all the caches, reset parameter ram, emptied all the cache files with Secure Empty Trash, etc. Computer now is working great but I find that I can only open movie files with the Quicktime Player. That seems to open all the movie formats that I've tried - .avi, .wmv, .mp4, .mov, etc. But none of my other movie players will open any of my movie files. I have Movist, VLC, Flip Player etc. They used to work with most of the move formats I have. Any ideas why they no longer work?
Thanks

This is strange, but a day later the other movie players now work.

Mov file will not open on Premiere CS6 for Windows

I am a student working on a project that I started in university on an Apple Mac desktop. I decided to carry my project back home to continue with it on a laptop which is Windows...however the Mov. files will not open up on premeire pro and it is really frustrating as I have done a lot of work. How can I import these videos without losing any work or having to start again?

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Already have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11.

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11. The thumbnail of the movie shows but when selected only a exclamation mark appears. I rebuilt the library, thumbnails, permissions etc. I also found the movie files in the iphoto database intact and working. Please advise.

You're welcome.
Well believe it or not, that's exactly what the exclamation point means. Search the forum. I've been doing this a while.
Next, I have no interest, commercial or otherwise in Library Manager, I have no shares in the company that makes it. I didn't make it. It's not my software. You could give those guys a million dollars and I'll get nothing from it. I and other expereinced users have recommended it thousands of times on this forum for this problem. Amazing how often it works. Of course, a quick search would have told you that already.
Another: Believe it or not you can use the Rebuild Function of Library Manager for free. You don't need to purchase it for that purpose.
Y'all have a nice paranoid day now.

I placed my aperture library on a 1 TB external drive (the file is 300 GB) and Aperture churns and churns but will not open the file. I don't know if the file is too large or if it is the external drive or what? any ideas? Smaller files will open.

If this is an external USB drive, you must understand that USB is really, really slow. There may be nothing wrong except for that.
In my opinion, USB external drives are only acceptable for backups, and to get "near Hard Drive" performance, you need FireWire.

Not all selected raw files will open

I'm using ACR 5 on a Mac 10.5.8. I have 279 raw files in a folder. I selected all in bridge, command R, and only 16 photos will open in raw. What could cause this?
Thanks!
Julia

Limited memory? Limited ACR scratch disk space? Go into the ACR preferences and give yourself a healthy amount of ACR cache, say 10gb or more.

Whenever I open a file of any type, that file will open, as well as multiple other files I do not wish to open. How do I prevent this from happening.

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

Raw files for nikon d810 not showing a picture in preview. Have camera raw plug in 8.6.0.250 . File will open in raw but no picture ahead of time.

Raw files for Nikon D810 not showing a picture in preview for photoshop cs6 . Have camera raw plugin 8.6.0.250 File will open in ACR and process but no picture before opening raw file.

Are you referencing Apple's Preview application or the Preview panel in Bridge? Huge difference.
Try purging the cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu in Bridge.

Photoshop CC on Windows 7- No files will open

I am running Photoshop CC, freshly downloaded on 9/26. No files will open and I can not create a file. I select File>Open, but nothing happens. If I go to a PSD file on the hard drive and double-click, it opens Photoshop but nothing happens. I have tried JPG, TIF, PSD, and PNG files, all with the same result - nothing. I am running a PC with Windows 7. I did some searching and saw some people mentioned resetting Preferences and/or Malware, but I have tried resetting Preferences and also several anti-malware programs. There is no change. I'm hoping that someone has an answer for me. Thanks in advance! Carl.

Some movie files will suddenly start to lag or stutter?

Any idea why some movie files will suddenly start to lag or stutter?
You start playing a file and all is ok, but then about 2 minutes in it starts to play up.
If you pause it and then press play again it will be ok for about a minute then play up again.
I thought it was down to wireless or USB cable issue, but still happens when I copy the files to the hard drive. The files are ok if viewed on a PC.

Hi
Can you post more info for better understanding?
Obviously you have desktop PC and want to watch movies from....where? YouTube, saved on HDD, external HDD?
Are video files in HD or compressed video files?

Some Tiff files will open in ACR, some not

Hello everyone,
I have tried and read on several posts before posting here to get the solution but nothing foudn till now.
I have LR 5.2 and PS CS6.
RAW files are being managed, worked and converted into Tiff (uncompressed, ProPhoto RGB profile, 350dpi) from Lightroom and then imported in CS6 for further adjusted and layer works, etc..
Some files will be opened via ACR before being opened by CS6 and then some days before, they will just open directly into CS6.
I have checked some settings in LR like " Include Develop Settings in metadata inside JPEG...." which is UNCHECKED/DISABLED and "Automatically write changes in XMP" is CHECKED/ENABLED.
What could be doing this or what could i have messed somewhere?
your help and support well appreciated.

Hello everyone,
Apologize for taking so long to revert back but i was out of the country and busy with the end of year work load.
I will describe my workflow for you to get a better idea of the issue am having.
- I take files (Canon CR2. RAW files) from the memory card (Canon 500D, Canon 70D) then copy to my computer / HDD
- Import these same files withing lightroom for selection/rating/etc.. at this stage the .xmp files have already been written beside the .CR2 files as i have a preset for lens correction on import.
- I will then work on the RAW files inside LR 5 for minor adjustments, and then export them in TIFF format.
- I then open PS CS6 then open the TIFF file.
- Some files will open directly in PS while others may open via the ACR window before then i will click on open image to get it in PS.
- I do my adjustments and advanced editing in PS then save the files in same format.
- LR will see the adjustments done outside of LR and i will import the one from disk (to get the changes i made from PS)
This is my usual workflow and i would like to know if LR and PS use the same .xmp files to store the changes done?
Why some files which get the same treatment inside LR opens without getting through ACR window and some will?
Do you need more info? Please let me know and thank you in advance for the support.

Is there a program I can use to retrieve corrupted .MOV files, from a HD memory card where some files will open, and others wont?

Hi,
I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory.
I have recently shot some still and moving footage on my Cannon EOS 500 D (digital camera) using an AMICOE SD C10 8 GB high speed memory card.
After uploading these photos and movies onto my Mac, I am only able to open about 2/3 of the files that appear on the screen. In the case of the movie files, I can see a number of the file icons, however about 1/3 of them will not open (I get a message saying that Quicktime does not recognise this file - yet it is a .MOV file. Interestingly I can see a small thumbnail for each of these files that will not open, however I am unable to expand the thumbnail into the larger size) and there are a number of photos that simply do not appear as a file or thumbnail.
Is there a program I can use to retrieve these corrupted .MOV and JPEG files from either my computer or the memory card?
Thank you for your interest in this question.
Cheers,
Shaughno.

....to add to the last part... When adding to the iTunes library,- I need iTunes to make a quick-scan to verify that media I am adding isn't already in there,- preventing duplicates that make remedial tasks of removing* duplicates so annoying and unproductive...

Saved .mov file will not open on a Windows 7 version of Quicktime or WMplayer or Nero why not?

I made two .mov files one will open on a PC the other will not Quicktime will opew the first file, but not the second, Windows Media Player will not open either file, neither will Nero or Creative Media Player. How can I save a video file from iMovie to something that will opew on a PC?

Is this related to iOS (iPads and iPhones)?
This is the iMovie iOS forum, so if you're in the wrong place I can get this question moved.
In iMovie iOS there is only one way to export video, and that is Quicktime H264.
You will need the latest version of Quicktime for Windows.

Urgent Help Wanted With My Presentation - Mov Files Will Not Open

I am a retired lifeboatman, and have developed a fund raising talk focusing on my 35 year involvement with saving lives off the UK southern coast. I use Keynotes and have never had a problem, until now. I have another talk next week and thought I would update the presentation. I have updated to Mavericks and also the latest Keynotes 6.0.1. When I went to play the presentation, it informed me that some of the .mov files needed to be updated to run on QuickTime. I pressed the convert button, only to be informed that most of the files could not be upgraded. When I try to play again, all I get is a blank black screen. I closed Keynotes and reopened the file in version 5.3, but still the same problem occurred . Most of my video files are of actual rescues and have been transferred from old VHS tapes. and are invaluable to me. It also means my presentation next week will be without the powerful impact these rescue videos present. I have searched through the support communities and also on the web, and have tried various suggestions and trial programs for converting the files, but none have been able to provide me with any playable video. Can anyone please help me to overcome this problems? Any help would be gratefully received.

It's never a good idea to change operating systems and applications without fully testing over a period of time with existing work files first. As Mavericks is such a new operating system, there are a few quirks that are still in place compared to its predecessors.
Many video types do not play in the new Quicktime 10 player that is included with Mavericks, but version 7 should play any type. Down load and install QuickTime player version 7 for Mavericks, this is a much better movie player than the simple version now included with Mavericks from here: Download Apple QuickTime Player version 7
Open the video file in QT 7 and check the video plays correctly.
Let me know the CODEC used, it is listed against Format in the QT Inspector, (command I or Window > show movie inspector)
In theory Keynote should now play your video again but let me see how you get on.

.mov file will not open in FCP X?! codec unavailable? help!

I am trying to edit a short .mov file in FCP X. It was sent to me via YouSendIt. Once it has completed downloading, a message reads:
" The document “S-T3RRA Video Heads by FLOOD(1)-2.mov” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available. To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More. "
When I click tell me more, Apple provides me with some additional media support for QuickTime, however I should not need this for a .mov file correct? The file will not open in FCP X or QT. Any ideas? Suggestions? Was this file incorrectly exported by the creator?
Help!!
Thank you!

Yes, it will be encoded using a codec that's not on your system.
That is a common misunderstanding with .mov - it's not a format, it's a container.
It basically contains video & audio streams that may be mp4, mjpeg or just about anything.
In this case, the "anything" is what we need to find out, so we can work out what you need to read it.
You could try opening it using VideoSpec - it will tell you everything.

Only .mov files will open
