Quick Time Freezes

I am having a problem with QT freezing up when I try to play something. I get no error messages just a black screen where something should be playing. I am able to move the mouse around but for several minutes, nothing else will work and nothing will play using QT. itunes works well. Here is what I've tried so far:
*Unistall Quicktime and reinstalled
*Updated my Windows XP SP3 software
*Updated my video drivers
Any other suggestions????

I deleted The whole 'windows quick time'program. It was the 'windows live gallery' that was screwing things up. After I deleted the gallery file my pictures came right back up.

  • Quick time freeze !

    "i did get a window that said something about flash & i click the box that said apply to all quick time movies & the sound came back on."
    Sorry, I am a little unclear of exactly what happened here.
    A few things to try.
    Repair permissions and/or restart.
    KB article - No sound from some applications, but system alert sounds play (Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4)
    Another trick: If you have GarageBand installed, open it (maybe open a GarageBand document) and then quit out of the application.

  • Quick time freezing

    I am having trouble playing a tv show I purchased using quick time. When I double click to play it quick time opens and after a minute or so of the black screen a second or two will play and then the program becomes unresponsive. I have made sure I have the current versions of both Itunes & quick time.
    Any ideas??

  • Quick time 7.1.6 freezes

    I installed Quick Time 7.1.6 (forgive me, I am a brand new MAC user). About 2 minutes into the video, the video stops, however, the time keeps running as well as the "little glass like figure". When I try and "drag" the figure, the word "unauthorized" appears in the bar and I can't do anything. When the video first starts, if I hit the fast forward button, same thing, the word "unauthorized" appears in the bar and won't let me do anything. However, on some sites like CNN.COM, it plays fine and I can fast forward, backward, etc......any reason on some videos it plays normal and some not?
    Thanks for your help!!

    I have a new Macbook pro and was able to stream Divx and Apple TV encoded content (Recorded from EYE TV) wirelessly from my Mac Pro to MacBook Pro so I could watch on the laptop.
    I updated QuickTime to 7.1.6 and streaming went bye bye.
    The video opens and starts great but a few seconds/minutes the video freezes, the timeline is still playing. Sometimes the screen goes green.
    A quit lets it play again, but only for a few seconds/minutes.
    If I copy the file to my computer it plays fine.
    The streaming worked great and 7.1.6 seems to have screwed something.
    Any ideas? How can I uninstall it and go back to 7.1.5 without reinstalling Mac OSX?

  • Quick Time screen capture freezes when i'm working with Modo 3D. Any solution?

    Hi guys,   When I'm working with Luxology Modo, Quick Time screen capture freezes every time on Mac OS X Mavericks. When I'm doing some operation in Modo, like slice geometry per exemple, QuickTime crashes. I must force quit quicktime and when I relauch the application, the screen capture opens but screen capture ends at the time when I cliked on the Modo slice operation. It's frustrating because I can't do nothing with screen capture.  I tried other screen capture applications but the problem persists! When I was using Snow Leopard Quick Time works very well!!   Do you have some resolution for this problem?   Regards,   César.

    I'm using OS X Mavericks as well, and it seems like the same thing happens when I try to type in MonoDevelop, part of the Unity package. Unity works fine, it only seems as though I can't screen record typing in MonoDevelop. It looks like it's still recording, it just has the rainbow wheel of death after I try to finish out the Quicktime. I left it up for several days and ignored it, but it still didn't finish. I finally had to force quit it and reopen it and when I did it opened up the temporary file of the video I was recording, but it stopped whenever I started to type into the MonoDevelop interface. The first time it let me save the video to the desktop. The second time, the time which I left it open for days, it would not let me save it, on command-S or on exit. I don't know exactly what's wrong, but I believe that you know as much as I do. Please post a reply if you need any more information or have a fix.

  • Quick time 7.5.6 is a bug !

    Quick Time 7.5.6 does not fix anything but is a big bug !
    Opening more than two screens H264 at the same time on a laptop Intel 2.16 and running, then everything freeze or the soft quit!
    Very strange, one day before with the version 7.5.5 everything worked perfectly !!!
    In addition, impossible to contact someone on the Apple's website and impossible to re install 7.5.5 !!!
    Is it a big joke ?

    To Apple Discussions.
    All "bug" reports regarding QT should be submitted to QuickTime Feedback.
    Apple's message boards are not the place to report the "bugs."
    Thank you.

  • Quick Time 7 Pro will not load

    I installed quick time 7 pro a week ago and my key worked fine. However now quick time just seems to freeze when I click on it. It says "loading" but nothing loads. I uninstalled it but now I need to reinstall using my user name and key. The problem is if I already purchased it where do I go to get it again with-out having to rebuy it. When I went to apple I don't see anything that says "click here if you already have a Key.

    Download the free Player app.
    Enter your registration.
    Done.

  • Quick Time Update Error Every 2 seconds

    Every two seconds the error message from Quick Time comes on stating I need an update. There are two choices: cancel, it freezes for 30 seconds, then the same error messages comes back. When I hit Continue, the next message says it was busy. Then 2 seconds later, the old message wanting me to update, is back. The only way I can get rid of it is to click on the X, it goes away for awhile. It only comes on when I am on ITUNES or APPLE. It does not come on when I am doing other things. Any help out there?

    see you other topic where I have replied.

  • Complicated possible workaround for Keynote to Quick Time issues etc.??

    I've been experiencing many of the issues already presented here. This is obviously a major issue that Apple may already be trying to fix for an update, but they never tell anyone what they are doing. My project contains .mov files with audio and they just don't behave, the audio is off and movie files either play with disjoionted audio, or, freeze on the first frame. Also, half the transitions don't export to quick time, idvd or any other format I've tried.
    For those with 2 computers and a little extra hardware, I've got a possible workaround that "may" at least get the project rolling again. I hooked my MacBook Pro into my Eye TV 250 and switching to AV input, simply played the presentation I'd recorded with all my timings and transitions through the Eye TV box into my desktop computer. I then exported the live recording through the Eye TV software to a .mov file and all the transistions and audio seemed to be the way I set them up. I then brought this movie into Garage Band and added a backing track.
    Eye250 is not ideal for commercial projects because I seem to have some quality loss, BUT, I was importing to a G4 mac Mini so maybe that's an issue as well. If anyone else has an external digital video input device and two Intel machines, could they please try this out and see if the quality is HD.
    If this works, it would at least be a workaround for guys with commercial projects on deadline until Apple fixes their software. Appreciate any input!!!!

    Sadly, IP printing is not a feasible solution for me. When I configure it as you've described, the print job goes to the queue and stalls with this message--
    Network host '192.168.0.187' is busy; will retry in 10 seconds...
    This print-once-then-never-again issue is very frustrating. Airport express has been an unreliable print server from the get-go. The firmware hasn't been updated in two years and Apple has never published a list of supported USB printers. It's one of those things they want reps in the apple store to be able to verbally tell people that the product will do, but in writing, "good luck with that."
    I'm getting on Amazon right now to find a real print server. AE is a burner of time.

  • Quick Time Virus?

    Even after re-installing Duick Time several times and getting the newest version, a screen appears on my PC reading, "Some of your Quick Time software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version." When I click on "Do it now," my computer freezes up ....every time. Help me!

    hmmmmm.
    let's try swapping out your QuickTime again, taking a few additional precautions this time.
    first, uninstall your QuickTime from Add/Remove one more time.
    next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    now try another QuickTime install. does it go through properly? if so, do you still get the message when you try to launch it?

  • Quick time Player has encountered a problem and needs to close

    Hello,
    I am getting this message and it is driving me bonkers!
    "quick time Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience".
    Am running XP. Have uninstalled all Apple programs (QT, iTunes, update, bonjour, etc and in the order Apple recommends.) I re-installed QuickTime again.
    Same Problem.
    Went to the control panel and launched the quicktime control panel.
    QuickTime Preferences comes up. If i choose the "files type" tab this error comes up in a window:
    RUNDLL
    An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"
    Clicking on this just closes the window.
    Some one on another post mentioned something about another codex takinhg the place of an original. How do I find if this is causing it if only to shut down that avenue of conceren?
    This has taken up SOOO much time I can't tell you and I can't use my iPhone or iTouch until I get it sorted.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Good work, craigeed. That's enough information (of precisely the right type) to suggest that you don't have a codec pack issue. If you had a codec pack problem, usually you'd get a rundll error if you just tried to open the control panel (and you're getting further in than that). Also, the rundll error for a codec pack problem would indicate that your QuickTime.cpl is lurking in the wrong place (down in the \system32\ directory). Your message is showing that your QuickTime.cpl is in precisely the correct location.
    So we'd better start checking on some other possibilities.
    The "QuickTime has encountered an error" message is pretty generic, but on at least some versions of QuickTime 7.x it has suggested malware problems. So we'd better try getting that off the table.
    Download fresh definitions and run vigorous virus and antispyware scans. If your security software providers offer them, try backing that up with an online virus scan. (That can sometimes pick up an infection even if the security software on the PC has been compromised.)
    Do the scans show up any problems? If so, does fixing them help with the QuickTime error?

  • My speaker doesn't work when I try to listen to music or open up a quick time file, however they seem to work perfectly when I listen to a voice memo (p.s. the volume slider disappears in a song page and even in the multi tasking bar)

    Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?

  • I just bought a new MacBook Pro Quick Time 7 icon but how do I get it to work? Do I need to purchase an additional update?

    I just bought a new mac book pro. It has Quick time 7 icon on it but how do I make it work? I am a student and have a quick time video I need to play but the video won't play. Do I need to purchase an update on Apple?

    It has a question mark inside the quick time logo everytime I click on it
    If you mean you are trying to play a file and the QT icon with a quesion mark appears in the display area, then this means the play has reached a programming disjunction and doesn know what to do—i.e., the player recognizes the content but something is preventing proper playback is telling the user it has a question as to how the content is to be played. In such cases you normally have to determine what content, what file container, and which player version is involved before you can decide how to best fix the problem.
