QT not working with some websites

My mom is having problems looking at BBCAmerica.com. The opening page is set up by quick time. But on here macbook she gets the QT logo with a question mark. What is causing this. I ran disk utility on here macbook and installed Perian plug in as well. I cant think of any thing else though. The site works fine on my other two macs, But i cant think if I have something installed that she doesn't. Any advice? Thanks.

QT with a ? usually refers to Flash video.
She may have to tweak a few settings:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • Safari does not work with some websites

    Allthough Safari works fine with most websites, I recently discovered that with a few it does not work properly.
    With one: http://prive.eneco.nl/ the webside does not recognise my user IDE
    With the other:http://prive.eneco.nl/ it does not load the page after a selection is made
    In both cases Mozilla works fine.
    Is there any body who could advise a solution?
    Thanks

    You can get Firefox 3.6.16 here: <br />

  • Keypad on keyboard not working with some websites.

    After upgrading to windows 7 I have certain internal and external websites that will not allow the numbers on side of keyboard to work.  I found some .net 4 security updates that were blocking those number keys.  After removing updates the problem
    went away for a short time on one computer.  The other computer I had to remove .net 4 completely before I could use the numbers on the side.  Both computers after seeing them work stopped working again without the security updates being reaplied. 
    The .net security updates that I removed from Microsoft said this, "This update resolves vulnerabilities that could allow elevation of privilege if a user goes to a specially crafted website or a website that contains specially crafted web content."
    If I remote into the computer using vnc everything works fine.  I just cannot use the side numbers keys when sitting at the local pc.
    Any ideas that may help with this would be great.

    Hi,
    To test this issue in Clean Boot mode would eliminate the software conflicts.
    If this issue persists, try this way to test:
    Type without using the keyboard (On-Screen Keyboard)
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/type-without-keyboard#type-without-keyboard=windows-7
    if this issue does not occur in this situation, we can reinstall the Keyboard driver.

  • Genius not working with some songs

    why does genius not work with some of my songs?

    For songs which the genius can't come up with a play list it seems the artist is either too small, too new, or the metadata doesn't match. For example, I had "Cardigans - Love fool" selected and I noticed iTunes had it in my "Songs your missing". I changed it to "The Cardigans - Lovefool", and then selected "Update Genius". After this iTunes removed it from the "Songs your missing", and was able to create a playlist.
    The problem is I don't know how many songs iTunes can't figure out. I wish I could create a smart playlist of all the songs which the genius couldn't figure out. The problem isn't so much that I can't get a playlist from a song I selected, but I know if the genius skips a song, then it won't include it with other recommendations. While the genius feature is great, I'd hate to find out in six months that it's been ignoring 75% of my library.
    In order to get some of my indy music to play with the genius playlist, I create a smart playlist which includes a genius playlist, and then a list of artists which it can also choose from.
    While it's great that the genius can figure out information from the cloud, it could spend more time looking at patterns within your own library. If I create a playlist of New Jersey rock bands, it should be able to figure out that my indy artists are related to the mainstream artists in the same playlist.
    The good thing about the Genius is it understands that people listen to multiple genres. I like to listen to classical when I'm studying, and folk music when I'm surfing the web. Last.fm will create a recommended playlist of half classical and half folk. The genius doesn't look at your whole library and come up with something that tries to match all your tastes. As a result of it using genres to cluster music, it doesn't mix holiday music in with your playlists like other recommendation services do.

  • Why do the "SHOW THE PREVIOUS PAGE arrows not work on some websites such as when I try to return to the previous page the arrows at the top right of the page are not dark black they are light grey and do nothing---HELPPPP

    If a page you go to opens in a new tab, there is no 'back' to go to. If that is the case, just close the tab and you'll be at the page you came from.

  • My DVD player does not work with some DVDs

    My DVD does not work with certain DVDs.  Do I need to get it replaced or is there some other problem.

    Could it be that they're out-of-region DVDs? Which model MBP do you have (15" late 2011, for example) and which version of OS X are you running?

  • Print function is not working with certain websites, specifically PNC bank

    When trying to print on specific websites, all that is printed is a blank page, no content. This specifically happens on PNC website, but has occurred on others as well.

    Hi vermontgolfer,
    I am sorry to hear that the printing is not working for this website. If you go to about:permissions and look for the website name you can check to see if there are any saved preferences that may be causing this.
    Since they are printing blank pages, please make sure that you have updated to version 29.0.1 as this was a bug in pdf.js that was fixed with this update. If you are not using pdf.js you can reset the printing settings with these references: [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]

  • Why the iPad internal speakers not working with some applications and key sound?

    My iPad1 ' internal speakers not fully functioning. It is working with music and video, YouTube , but not working with applications such as games.
    Also with key pad sound .
    Please help me in this regard.

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Firefox Not Working on Some Websites (Ex: Hotmail, GMX, WoWhead)

    Whenever I log into Hotmail, I am unable to open any of my e-mails. When I go to GMX, the page just loads indefinitely. When I search for something on WoWHead, I can't see anything under the "Contribution" or "Related" fields.
    It appears that some sort of plug-in is not working correctly, I am assuming JavaScript. I completely uninstalled both firefox and Java, then reinstalled them. It did not correct the problem. I am also having these problems with IE.

    When I reinstalled, I tried it without AddOns. I've also ran Firefox in safemode, along with Internet Explorer. It still didn't work.
    Hotmail and GMX Mail work with Internet Explorer, except for that I am experiencing the same problems with both Firefox and IE.

  • BUG: Dynamic report column headings not working with some templates

    Using Apex 2.0, we are trying to create a vertical report with dynamic labels like &P26_REF_RECEIVED_DATE_L. based on items populated by PL/SQL.
    This seems to work fine for some templates but not for others. With a horizontal report template we get output like:
    <th class="t4ReportHeader" id="REF_RECEIVED_DATE">Received</th>
    <td  headers="Received" class="t4data">29-MAR-2007</td>But with the vertical template we get:
    <th>&P26_REF_RECEIVED_DATE_L.</th><td>29-MAR-2007</td>Also, if we use "default: vertical report, look 1" we see "&P26_REF_RECEIVED_DATE_L." in the output, but with "default: vertical report, look 2" we see "Received".

    have you checked that your report template has a
    valid value for the "Column Heading Template"
    property?This template has nothing in the "Column Heading Template" because it is designed to show the data in this form:
    Heading1 - Value1
    Heading2 - Value2
    Heading3 - Value3
    Hence both the heading and the data appear in the "Column Template 1" property as follows:
    <tr><th class="t3header">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th><td class="t3data">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td></tr>
    Maybe it is an Apex limitation that the #COLUMN_HEADER# value can't be accessed from this subtemplate? Yet somehow it works with "default: vertical report, look 2" (which I realise isn't a template as such).

  • Video chat not working with some people

    Okay so iChat 4.0.7 works fine on my computer with video chat but when I do video chat with some people on my buddy list alone just me and that person I invite him/her and him/her invites me. But it always says to these people:
    "Starting Video Chat" then after that it says:
    THERE WAS A COMMUNICATION ERROR DURING YOUR CHAT every time I do it. Before that it never did this and all of a sudden...? ...makes no sense!
    And it works fine with everyone else. And she's not even blocked.
