Quick Time "nothing works"

Anyone, I'm back in the Apple abyss. I downloaded QT 7.4.5 and now, if I trying displaying PDF file from the net it is only first page and so small it is unreadable. Plus, when I try to load a video from youtube it only displays the loading circle but never loads or plays no video no sound, nothing. I've purchased third party codecs DivX, Flip4MAC and nothing works except the sound of the cash register. Don't understand why it became the default for PDF.
Is there anyway I can go back to an earlier version QT that works?

I think it is a red herring that your Quicktime update happened when the PDF issue started. PDF issues like you describe are usually the result of corrupt fonts, or corrupt caches. Let me see if I can find a font expert who can help you on that account. In the meantime, you may want to read through these font FAQs:

Corrupt caches can also be the result of running cache cleaning utilities. If you use any third party utility that's claimed to be used for maintenance such as Onyx, Cocktail, Tiger Cache Cleaner, etc, these may actually have accentuated your issue when you did the Quicktime update. Remove these utilities, and always backup your data before doing any updates. Updates and new software installation should only be done on systems whereby the:
1. The data is backed up.
2. The software has been tested with other corresponding software and hardware.
3. Permissions are repaired with Disk Utility before and after.
4. The disk isn't too full.

  • Quick Time player cannon be opened because of a problem. Check with developer to make sure Quick Time player works with this version of Mac OS X

    "Quick Time Player cannot be opened because of a problem"  Futher noted - Check with developer to make sure Quick Time player works with this version of Mac OS X.  The player had been working fine on my iMac 24, even after upgrading to Lion. Now, nothing but this message. This involves Quick TIme Player version 10.0. Could upgrading to the 'Pro' version be worthwhile?  Can't find anything on support that comes close to answering this perplexing situation.
    Thanks,

    QuickTime Player 10.0, if that's what you have, is indeed too old for Lion which should have QuickTime Player 10.1. Check your system to see if perhaps you have two copies of QuickTime Player, something quite possible if you moved or renamed QuickTime Player before upgrading.
    Hope this helps.

  • Quick time not working in safari after downloading flip4mac

    Quick time is not working in safari after downloading flip4mac. How do I get quick time to work within safari? It was working prior to flip4mac being installed but I need flip4mac for some websites.

    Hi
    Go to System Preferences>Flip4Mac>Browser
    Make sure the first two boxes are checked. Check the 3rd box if you want the QT controller to be displayed.

    You have Acrobat Pro on your system. It will try to open PDFs, and of course it will fail. You must uninstall it. Then, you will need a PDF reader. So install Adobe Reader. That seems quite simple, but perhaps something is wrong. If anything goes wrong with these two steps (1) uninstall Acrobat Pro (2) install Adobe Reader, then please let us know the details.

  • Can't get quick time to work with windows thumbnail

    When I purchased a new camera, unlike my old camera that saved files as .avi and which allowed me to use the files with all software and which allowed me to view automatically the thumbnails for the .avi file, my new camera used the garbage .mov from apple. Result: i can't see what the files contains... NO thumbnails in windows! I was told to buy QUick time Pro to be apple to do this. I did what the quicktime "help" (misnomer) said to do: set poster frame, resave the file (try to save it as is, or as quick time mover). THIS DIDN'T WORKED. There was Ø supplementary information. The only thing that works is MANUALLY converting all my .mov from the camera to .avi using quicktime pro. I paid CAD$39 FOR absolutely NOTHING. Any suggestions?

    Please review the "stickied" threads near the top of this board, about syncing with Windows 7 and Vista.  It's all there. 
    After you've been through and tried everything there is to try, and still have problems, please post back with specific info about exactly what you've tried, what version of Windows 7 you have (32-bit or 64-bit), etc.

Please help me!  I think I've given all the info needed about my operating system. Windows 7, 64 bit, iTunes 10.3. I've erased everything re-installed it, no joy; removed again and downloaded QuickTime and iTunes separately, no good; I've removed and re-installed numerous different ways, numerous times and nothing works. All of the apple programs that are installed with iTunes have this same error.  Ive been messing with this for over 2 weeks! Any help would be appreciated, especially if it works!!!!

  • How do I get Quick Time to work on my computer again?

    Apparently I am old and a dummy and it seems I accidentally uninstalled Quick Time from my computer instead of uninstalling something else that I was intending to uninstall.  How can I get Quick Time back?  I've tried the download from the apple.com site, but it never shows up in a file other than some binary file and I don't have the option to "run" after download, just save to this binary file.  PLEASE can someone help me?  THANKS in advance for any and all help.

    Hi 1 olddummy,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  First of all, you are not old or a dummy.  I'm sure you can give me hundreds of examples of things you can do because of your knowledge and experience, so give yourself a break .   I just want to clarify .... are you using a Windows computer or a Mac?  I'm going to assume Windows and include an article for you that will explain how to delete the iTunes application and all of it's components (because Quicktime is tied to this program).  This will not affect your iTunes library, only the application itself.   Once that is done, you should be able to work with Quicktime again.

  • How do I uninstall firefox 4 and use the previous version. I do lots of work related tasks that require quick time to work and it doesn't with ff4.o.

    Quick time crashes and I have lost almost all sounds/video sound capability with the new ff4.0. I want to remove it and replace it with the previous version until the bugs are fixed.

    Maybe wait another day because Firefox 5.0 will be released on June 21 and maybe that version works better.
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall and other security software.
    See also:
    * [[No sound in Firefox]]
    * [[Video or audio does not play]]
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />
    Also check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />

  • TS3479 quick time not working after snow leopard install?

    Made video's on my iphone and loaded them to my imac. Video did not work in iphoto.  No Quick time pop up. what happened? Snow leopard install. 

    You need to re-install iPhoto because it's missing bits of itself:
    Library not loaded...
    Reason: no suitable image found.
    Looking at the missing files it's possible that it's missing from the OS. But start with re-installing iPhoto, and if that fails you'll ned to re-install the OS.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only...’

  • Cant get quick time to work

    I've tried everything from installing the older software to the most recent. Cleared history, temp files, tried a couple of the codecs that are recommended. Nothing works. If I go to Google and open a video, the older software will show a torn 'Q' the newer software will show a question mark inside the 'Q'.
    Can someonw tell me what could be wrong.

    The video format often is in the suffix Ex: .avi, .wmv, jpg, .mpg and many many more.Do a Google search for 'video formats'.  You should be able to find Mac compatible software that will allow you to play your movie.  The vast majority can be downloaded for free.
    As Andrew says VLC is good, but no format can handle all.
    Ciao.

    Most Things Were Meant To Run On A 32-Bit Operating System And It Might Be Your Getting An Error Because Windows 7 64-Bit Edition Does Not Fully Support 64-Bit Operating Systems In Windows .If You Have Enough Space On Your Computer,There Is One Way You Can Fix This.Try Using VM-WARE And Install A Clean Version Of Windows 7 32-Bit And Give The Virtual Machine A Good Amount Of Ram,Install The VMWARE Additions.After That,Activate Unity Mode And That Should Give You A Nice GUI
    And Support Of Quicktime Player!I Hope This Helps,Please Let Me Know If It Does~!

  • Ask your question.please help itunes will not launch on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder no error message appears and it appears but then disappears in task manager when the programme will not open quick time is working

    please help i need to fix my itunes it will not launch on my computer . no error message appears it simply will not run. the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder and it still appears in programmes in start menu but will not open. it appears in task manager but disappears when the programme will not open

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?
