Problems with Quicktime (Q?) in browser

I am having a problem with Quicktime working in my browser (we use Firefox). Quicktime is up to date, but everything in the browser that should be running just comes up as a Q with a question mark in the middle. I have checked the browser settings and everything seems fine. Any ideas?
whoops, just caught the other topic with the same problem....no answers there yet though...we did update our flashplayer and still no help.

Go to QT settings>Browser>Mime settings>Miscellaneous-Miscellaneous file formats and uncheck Flash media.
This has been going on for years and Apple computer refuses to correct the problem. It is beyond belief that Apple continues with this, but they can't market computers to the general public either. They send me e-mails to test their products and software that they want to test on a windows computer. I will consider doing it, but can't, with the Flash screw up going on...

STILL no real answer to problems with QuickTime and Flash Player

The reply to Problems with QuickTime really didn't answer or solve the basic problem. Some sites to work at all require you to have working Flash Player 8 so when I try to use these sites I get the QuickTime logo with a question mark and then nothing. For all you experts on Apple and Mac; what is going on? Apple is the parent of QuickTime and I assume they want their customers happy with their work. So why is it so hard for these apparently small updates to their programs causing entire sites being blocked off? I have OS x 10.3.9 on a G4 iMac 855mHrz .... It seems that even though we, the customer by default become Apples program testers;the actual programers are never given the go ahead to actualy look at these problem posts. Has anyone ever gotten a solution for a problem they posted here from one of the programmers of the product? It would be nice to know we aren't left to our own devices when it comes to program gliches from the source. If the powers that be in apple are watching and willing to help; any time now is a good time to just but in on the conversation and help solve some of the problems us little people keep on running into.--------------
While online I run into sites that will NOT work without Flash Player 8 (which costs over $150.00) which is told to the viewer with a QuickTime logo with a question mark in it.
This leads the web surfer to try to upgrade or at least investigate Flash Player in their computer and it's version.When said web surfer looks at Flash player upgrade for bucks and the fact that in some way it is tied to QuickTime, web surfer gets real curious. Do the web masters for those sites know that their site is now blocked off? If any major portion ( say 30 or 40 % ) of the web surfing crowd is required to purchase an upgrade to Flash Player even though it doesn't look like Apple is the parent of said Flash Player; those web masters are going to be upset with Apple. Their income is tied to actuall access and browsing of a site, even if it is only to actually just get the Home page. With no access to the site due to no Flash Player 8, the web master is going to find those all important Hits going down to nil. -------
This post is way to broad for any one answer so I don't really expect one. But for you people who have run into similar problems with other programs and sites; I would love to hear if you got any help from other web surfers or from the parent people of those programs and/or sites. I know that my isp earthlink has helped out with problems faster than other groups involved. Anyway.. Any help or comment on this post ( or gripe if you prefer ) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry, but you are completely misinformed. Flash Player 8 doesn't cost one red cent; it's only the Flash creation package that you have to pay for. You can download the free Flash Player 8 here.
QuickTime can natively handle some Flash content, which is why with the lack of the Flash player the browser defaults to the QT plugin. But Flash 8 is a relatively new format from Macromedia and I'm not sure QT supports it yet. Install the Flash 8 player and things should work just fine.
And just FYI, for questions about the Mac version of QuickTime, you'll be better off asking them in the QuickTime for Mac forum.

Lots of problems with Quicktime 7.1.3

There is a lot of problems with Quicktime 7.1.3, for starters when you install it, the shorcuts on the start menu doesn't show the right icon, instead they show the icon like if the path to the desired icon is wrong, and not matter how much you use the repair function on the installer it remains the same.
The plug-in for the internet browser doesn't works neither, you only get the "Plug-in error. The plug-in did not initialise properly" error message.
And what's with the Question mark on every single trailer on this site? it seems they have problems with the mov files on the server or something, like if they aren't complete, kinda odd considering that the HD trailers did open without problem but those ones open a player window since they are too big for a plug-in browser window.
Apple has a lot of work to do for the next version of Quicktime since this one came with a big load of errors, I had to return to the version 7.1 while all this problems get fixed.

from day one i haven't had a problem with installation nor with playback. originally the surround sound didn't work, that was fixed...now however with the recent version the h.264 encoding has downgraded.
the only thing i did different on installation was getting the standalone and not the itunes addition. i didn't uninstall the old one nor did i dig through the registry and mess with the keys. all i did was install and i presume it removed the older installation which is fine because obviously it worked.
why you all are having problems i have no idea. i just want my h.264 encoding quality restored back to the way it was.

Hello Anne.
Can you please try it in a new (temporary) Firefox profile and see if the issue is still present? See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles this article] to know how to create a new Firefox profile. Please report back the results.

I keep getting this diologue box as I start up Firefox "Could not initialise the application's security component. The most probable cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. ... what should I do exactly?

I keep getting the following dialogue box when I start Firefox " Could not initialise the application's security component. The most probable cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions." I am not sure how to find or change the profile directory. I have gone to the Options: General: Save files to ...box but it wont allow me to browse to another file and the box remains blank. ideas please!

See [[Could not initialize the browser security component]]
Continue here: [/questions/780717]

Why do I get an alert saying "Could not initialise the application's security component. The most probable cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. How can I solve it??

The full alert is " Could not initialise the application's security component. The most probable cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard drive is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the browser and fix the problem. If you continue to use this browser session, you might see incorrect browser behaviour when accessing security features."
This is just started three/four days ago. I need assistance quickly as I can't access any secure sites e.g bank accounts/homepage etc.

Hello,
The suggestion made by Golubkov is correct. Make sure that you have configured the CAN objects to correspond to the Ports- for instance, Port1 to CAN0 and Port 2 to CAN1.
If this dosen't fix the problem, let us know what the error message clearly states ( can be found out by clicking on the details tab).

Problem with Quicktime stops Preview in Photoshop? Mac OSX 10.6.8

There were no warnings about Lion blocking old software when I installed Lion. Because purchasing new software was beyond my budget,
I had it removed and went back to Leopard 10.6.8. Now when I'm working in Photoshop and have adjusted an image, a message appears "Because of a problem with Quicktime, a preview can't be built. Quicktime Player 10 is in the Applications folder, and Quicktime Play 7 is in the Utilities folder.
Quicktime movies in Support on the Apple site won't play either. Please advise steps to take or new download.
Thanks!

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Problem with QuickTime Movies From iMovie HD

I posted this earlier (on the second day of Leopard's Release), and did not get much feedback, and so thought I'd try again after people have had time to run Leopard.
I have some movies that I created using iMovie HD. I have the QuickTime version of the movie for use with Front Row.
On my G5 iMac running Leopard, the quality of the movies on Front Row is fine. However, in Leopard, the quality is lousy. The movies were made from still photos, using the Ken Burns effect. There are also transitions. On the web, on my iWeb site, the pictures take a while to come into focus. I sort of expect this on the web. However, I've found the same thing with the movie files using Front Row on Leopard. Again, this slowness in coming into focus does not appear when playing the movie on Front Row on Tiger on a G5 iMac.
Curious if anyone else has encountered problems/issues with QuickTime movies files from iMovie HD. And if so, what if any fixes are available.
Thanks in advance.
Russell

Hmmmm, so it works OK in Front Row but NOT in Quicktime player? Thats odd. Front Row works worse for me!
It sounds like it may be a rendering problem with Quicktime - It has to process the file in general (or parts of the file, for example, if you export 10 pics looped in Flash, it has to process the 10 image files each time it plays it through, resulting in the first 4 or 5 images to shoot out jerkily [read LAG] unlike the rest of the movie, which is smooth). If these images in your movie are large in file size or contain tons of wacky photoshopped effects, etc, that might be whats causing the problem.
I'd check everything is updated to the latest version, repair permissions on the disk in Disk Utility, and then see if anythings improved.
Hope this helps you.

Problem with flash banners in browser

I have a very frustrating problem with my browser (any browser) opening a flash banner. On my website we have a rotating flash banner and when I open it all four banners open at the same time. It happens on several pages, but not in every page with a banner. I have tried emptying my cache and turning off Kaspersky, but to no avail.
Does anyone know what could be happening???

my page is www.sojournfargo.org, but the page works on my wife's computer and the web designer's computer. I also can't see the banner on www.inforum.com where the news rotates.

Is anyone facing problems with quicktime on lion???

I recently upgraded my macbook pro to lion osx and the problems keep showing up one by one... quicktime is the worst. it has literally stopped functioning! at first, there was this problem with audio and video not being synched; and then it got worse and was totally playing the videos without any audio track and now, after a week or so, the app is not working AT ALL!!!
I hit "play", the icon changes to "pause" as in : "i'm playing the video!" and then it stops and NOTHING HAPPENS. and it's not about the format of the videos either. i treid .wmv (which was working btw), .avi or .mov (made by imovies for crying out loud!)...
when its photoshop being slow and laggy, you can blame adobe! but isn't quicktime supposed to be the "official" apple player??? am heavily disappointed apple!

First:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime
Then
Try:
