Playing quicktime files from 1998

I have a CD with some Quicktime files on that appear to have been created in 1998. Quicktime tries to play them but I can only get sound and no picture. Any suggestions about how I can play them fully?
I'm using Quicktime 7.4.1.

What type of QT files?
Do you have Flip4Mac, VLC and/or Perian installed?

Airtunes won't play Quicktime files from iTunes?

Last night I made a playlist that had MP3's, Quicktime files, AIFF files, and AAC files. I then set iTunes to play on Multiple speakers, so it would play on my computer speakers and my stero via Airtunes. All of the songs played fine through my computer speakers but the Airtunes refused to play the QT files. When a QT song came on, the stereo went silent, it would then play again when a non QT file came on. Anybody else have this problem?

Some information on Quicktime player. The last two links are you other applications you can download to see if they can play the movie:
Video - QuickTime Media Formats
Video - QuickTime Player
Video Player - Divx
Video Player - VLC

I updated my computer and now I can't play mov files from anywhere

I updated my computer and now I can't play mov files from anywhere - won't play in FCP 7, Quicktime. Not sure what updates they were specifically since i hit the "update All" button without going over each one. Please help!! operating on 10.6.8 with FCP7

Just take a look at the last few days posts here and you'll see many people with the same problem and some possible solutions.
But you should never do any software updates unless you have a bootable backup of your startup drive. FCP7 is no longer being supported by apple and updating anything is fraught with dangers.

My quicktime player no longer plays quicktime attachments from emails.

I cannot play quicktime attachments from incoming emails although I used to be able to. Any suggestions?

Are you sure the files are playable by quicktime. Corruption perhaps?

Quicktime file from 1999

Is there a way to open/play quicktime movies from 1999 and earlier? In the same vein, is here a way to open After Effects files from same time period?

I can play nearly all of my ancient QuickTime files (except those that used Flash .swf) without issues on my modern machine. Backward compatibility for most formats has been built in with each upgrade.
We need to know more about the codecs used in your files. Can you tell us?

Toshiba 40SL733g - How to play video files from USB flash memory

When I plug my USB flash memory in USB port, Media Player menu shows up with two options : Photos and Settings.
How do I make my TV recognize and play video files from USB flash memory?
Flash is on FAT32.
I have tried to play avi, mp4 and mkv files but nothing happens. It looks like flash is empty.
Could you please help me solve this problem.
Thanks!

bzunic, have you updated the firmware for your model?.
With my own set, (32RL900A), the instruction manual said that certain buttons on the remote control were "unused", however, after the first firmware update, the previously "unused" buttons were used, (In our case, Time Shift, Record, and so on).
The reason I talk about this is, these features became available after a firmware upgrade, and were not mentioned in the user manual, in our case, and a later download of the instruction manual for our model actually gave the instructions for the use of these features, which were shown as "not available", in the original instruction manual supplied with the TV, but became available after the firmware upgrade.
Let us know how it all works out ............

I cannot play .mov files (from iPhone) in Premiere Elements 10.

I cannot play .mov files (from iPhone) in Premiere Elements 10. Is there a solution?
It used to work fine. I wonder if the problem has something to do with the recent iPhone update. Is there any Premiere update I can download?

Well, if it used to work... and then you updated your iphone and now it does not work... that seems to ME like the iphone update changed something in the files
But, exactly what is inside your mov files?

I can't open Quicktime files from iPhoto

I can't seem to open Quicktime files from iPhoto. I try double-clicking but nothing happens.

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

Playing .wmv files from Blackberry

Is is possible to play wmv files from a tour? I have a user requesting it and the file he is trying to get to work.

Hi!
See this KB for supported media formats:
KB05482 Media types supported on the BlackBerry smartphone
If the file still won't play, then you can use Media Manager to move it to the BB and that should perform a transcode to a format that will play.
Good luck and let us know!

I get audio but no video unless I play the file from UTube

I get audio but no video unless I play the file from UTube

Use a different browser?
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.
Even if it's just to redownload the driver. I recommend another browser.

Can an older version of keynote play the files from keynote 08

My friend has an older version of keynote and when she tried to play a file from keynote 08. She could not open up the file and instead she got a prompt telling her to get a newer version of keynote.
Can she upgrade or will she have to buy iwork 08?

If you export a file as a Keynote '08 file, she'd need Keynote '08 to view it. During the save, it IS possible to choose to save as an older version, though, if that's what you'd like to do. Also, if her computer can run it, she can download the iWork '08 trial. Even after it times out in 30 days, she will still be able to open and view presentations (just not save changes).

Quicktime file from Photo Booth not playing.

I recently restored a Photo Booth movie from Time Machine. After attempting to play it it read "The document “Movie on 2010-01-23 at 03.35” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands." I have no idea what this means. The file is reading as a Quicktime file.

Hello,
did you try to open video clip from VLC or any other media player ?
good luck

Quicktime files from PC won't play in FCP

Hi
I am capturing and keying on a PC (Serious Magic's Ultra) and exporting various kinds of quicktime files: animation, uncompressed etc.
However, none of these files seem to play in FCP, even after rendering. An icon does appear in the time line, and I can play it in a Quick time player but not in FCP(5) - I only get sound.
Any help appreciated!
Trevor

ANY time you move between PC and Mac there are inherent problems- but animation ought to work for you. Usually the biggest problem is a proprietary codec on a pc that isn't supported in Mac QT. I'd take a careful look at the settings on the PC app in terms of what you are actually outputting. There might be something really strange...

Safari 6.0.1 will not play QuickTime Files

I am having problems with Safari 6.0.1 playing back QuickTime Files. I reset safari and cookies and it will still not play QuickTime movies. To the best of my knowledge, QuickTime is working with all other components of the computer.
Is there a way to redownload Safari or repair it...
I could not find a place on Apple's webpage to redownload it.
I am using Mac OS 10.7.5 on a MacPro (2008).
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
-M

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extension tab.
If there are any installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari.
There are several extensions such as DivX that can prevent QT content from streaming.
