QT Pro and 10.5.1 won't play my old Quicktime Videos

I have a selection of old Quicktime files on my external hard drive, they have all played perfectly well on the old systems of Quicktime, however my Quicktime and Pro were recently updated to the 7 version, and my OS was updated to Leopard.
Now Quicktime tells me that it does not have the correct parts or codecs to play the video, and only shows me a blank screen. Sometimes the sound plays, sometimes it doesn't. Why isn't it working now, when it has worked so well for me in the past?

But to answer your question, you might be able to create a ISO of the DVD and burn that to a new DVD.
Insert your DVD.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app.
In the left side of the window, select the “DVD”.
Click “New Image” from the Disk Utility toolbar and select where you want to save the temporary image. For “Image Format”, choose “DVD/CD master” and for “Encryption”, choose “none”.
The image extension in the “Save As” box will be .cdr (this is what you want) — click “Save”.
Once the temporary image is created, it will show up on the left side of the Disk Utility window. Select it.
Insert a blank DVD (I prefer Verbatim discs).
Click “Burn” from the Disk Utility toolbar.
Another problem could be that you burned the DVD using a codec that your new machine doesn't have.
Install Perian, VLC and Flip4Mac, that combination will play anything.
Also install Flash for web content and Silverlight for Netflix.

My play lists and songs on iTunes and on my iPhone won't play. They are light grey instead of black and nothing happens when I click on the songs. All of the songs were either from CD's or from iTunes that I purchased. I have home sharing turned on. This is a new issue. It used to work fine. I tried restarting my iPhone and syncing with iTunes. Neither worked. Please help!

Try delete those songs using iTunes by de-selecting and sync. After that mark those songs and sync again.

I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play.

I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play. It is present in the videos app but doesn't load the picture for the movie. When I go to play it, it just opens and then closes. There is an iCloud icon that suggests the movie has not Been downloaded and when I click it it says that the movie has already been rented but not downloaded and that I need to go to downloads to manage it. It is not present in my iTunes download page however. And when I go to rent it again all I get is a watch button that directs me back to the videos app with no way to watch it.

I should add that it's an HP photosmart 4280.I found it online and it shows the Mac 0SX operating system.

I just downloaded ISO6 and now my music won't play. How can I fix this?

HD movie and tv show files won't play in iTunes 10.6.3.

Just did a fresh install of Mountain Lion and for some reason now HD movie and tv show files won't play. I get a black screen.
Standard Def tv shows and movies are still playing fine though.
Oh and yes I already tried switching it to 32-bit mode via the "Get Info" screen. Same problem results.
Any suggestions?

I think I have the same problem. Every time I play some HD movies in iTunes the movie seems to be stuck and the screen black. If I scrub the movie forward I can see the picture, even captions, but I can't play them. I said some because there are certain movies that DO play. I mean HD ones, SD video plays fine. But I couldn't find any clue. It's not a matter of file size, neither a matter of resolution, compressio... I'll wait for an update (system and/or iTunes) and if nothing happens I think I'll dig a little more. This is no big issue for me since they ALL seem to play perfectly when I select AirPlay to my Apple TV.
I'll try checking tags

You may need to reset TM and start with a fresh full backup.

I installed adobe 9 on my Mt. Lion mac and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box from adobe comes up asking me to give them permission to store things on my computer. This is scary to me. Should I say yes?

I installed adobe 11.9 on my computer and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box comes up from Adobe asking me to give permission to store things on my computer. The boxes are all from adobe but the sites in the boxes differ. Should I say yes? This is scary to me--virus paranoia.

You may have the box for 'Ask me before allowing sites...' or 'Block all...' checked in System Preferences - Flash Player, as pictured below... If so, try the 'allow' one instead, or if you prefer, continue to deny/allow when prompted.

Premier Pro CC won't play / render audio or video after today's update

Foolishly I allowed CC to update my software ( CC 2014.2 ) and now it won't play or render video or audio. It will allow me to scrub through and see the video, but the play button just turns to a square and does nothing.. Trying to render anything does even less.
This behavior can be repeated in both in the source window, as well as the program window when I scrub the timeline.
Premier Pro worked fine yesterday, with the same files. I booted onto a back up drive that had my old CC program cloned... And it still works fine.. I think it's safe to eliminate hardware issues as well as file / file types...
I have deleted the Premier Pro app and reinstalled, I have reset the preferences, I have dumped the media cache.
I have tried to set up new files, both on the internal hard drive, as well as an external... ( both work fine with the old system backup )
Still the same NON results...
Running on an iMac, using OS 10.8.5
Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated....

I did a restore from my iPhone 4S to my iPhone 5 and now my music won't play. What do I do?

Why won't my music play? I did a restore from my iPhone 4S to my new iPhone 5. The songs all show up on my phone but then do a quick spin, never start, and won't play. Aarrgh... Frustrated!

Could you have backed up to iCloud? If so, you can retrieve your camera roll contents.
-Restore to remove "Other" requires setting up as a new phone (not from your backup).

I got the iphone iOS 7.1.1 update and now my music won't play and I can't download apps. Can I fix it?

I just updated and downloaded the new version of iTunes. I then downloaded some music and now the music won't play on my iPod or in my iTunes. The tracks play for a few seconds and then skip to the next track

I just downloaded and updated the newest version of iTunes. After updating I downloaded some new music and synced the iPod. The music doesn't play. It'll play about 30 seconds of the song and then skip automatically to the next song. I restarted the iPod. I restored it. It still didn't work. Then I tried listening to the music from my laptop straight from iTunes...and it's still doing it.
How do I fix it?

I'm assuming the tracks that won't play copy/are displayed with exclamation marks. This happens if the files are no longer where iTunes expects to find them. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

New Mac Pro and 9.2 Hangs on Adjustments?? Old G5 Doesn't

Hello
I have what should be a very fast new Mac Pro. 6 core at 3.46Ghz. 48Gb of RAM. Solid state boot drive. Software RAID 0 with 2 Hitachi 3TB drives, hardly anything on them yet. Nvidea Quadro 4000 CUDA card. Everything installed and burned in for the overnight 8 hour test with the MPG workstation program at OWC. Lion 10.7.2.
I had approximately 700 in camera photos combined still in camera between an up-to-16MP Sony NEX 5N camera and up-to-24MP pics on a Sony A77, that have already been loaded into my 6-7 year old 2.4Ghz dual core G5 with 6.5Gb RAM and much older version of iPhoto. OS 10.4.7 I believe.
Last night I loaded all those same pictures into the new machine and 9.2 version iPhoto. And then deleted them from the cards on both cameras. No issues. Smoking fast imports compared to the G5 which wasn't all that bad.
On the G5 with the picture adjust controls I could use the slider to go deeply into those same photos and see the effects of contrast, sharpness and all the other options. Like butter. Make the adjustments while in that deep if desired and then pull back to evaluate the overall picture before saving. Or back in again if desired. No issues.
With the new rig I couldn't wait to try all of this, but once I go deep inside and start to move the adjustment slider controls the system every time starts getting hung with the spinning wheel. Have to wait and wait for them to catch up to the curser on that adjustment. Most of the time the system then will just get stuck and I have to force iPhoto to quit.
Please....does anyone know why all this latest powerfull hardware and software is doing that, compared to the old, much less capable G5? I am really concerned now. Haven't had a chance to get Photoshop and the other production premium software tested yet.
And one last question please. Does anyone know if the "Enhance" feature in the Quick Fixes section adjusts Gamma as well? There seems to be a lot more going on to give the photos depth (what I always really try to do) than the sum of the small slider movements in the Adjust section. With my old system and iPhoto version there was no "Gamma" adjust slider in iPhoto proper......but if I saved a photo first to my Desktop for instance, and then called up the adjustment features, there was a Gamma slider there. Very handy and appreciated.
I see similar vast improvements on some photos now with the "Enhance" feature that looks like maybe Gamma has been optimized as well? There now is no Gamma slider available even if the photo is taken to the desktop first.
Thanks much
Ron

Hello Terence
Thanks for the tip to try. Couldn't get to it until late last night. Seems to still be the same in Library 2.
Also seems to be worse with 27" Cinema Display at full resolution. And with several sliders on adjustment. If I drop the resolution to 1920 x 1080 or 1600 x 900 and move smoothly about it is not as apt to hang up. With as much horsepower as the new Mac Pro has, should resolution of monitor be an issue in these adjustments deep into the pictures?
How about the Enhance button? Is gamma involved? Everything I read about it on searches only talks about boosting saturation of the color and fine tuning with little other slider adjustments. But on a picture where it has made a big difference to the good with depth and overall look, if I look at where the sliders were adjusted and then undo the enhance, and go back and manually put the sliders in the same position it doesn't look the same.
Does anyone know if gamma is being adjusted with this button? Sure seems like it but can't find it mentioned anywhere.
Thanks again!
