Quick time player not working

I've not long upgraded my Mac to snow leopard, everything is working fine apart from quick time player.
I'll click on the logo to open the player but nothing loads/opens or appears on the screen... however the top left hand corner shows its open and a allows me to close QTP.
Does anyone know how to correct the problem?

If by "click on the logo" yor are referring to the QT Player Finder icon, then it sounds as if the application is functioning correctly.
Does anyone know how to correct the problem?
A movie/audio clip will only auto-load if you double-click on the Finder movie/audio file icon—not the application icon. However, once the application is open, you can open a file (or URL) from within the QT Player app by using the appropriate File menu options.

HT3775 Quick Time Player not opening a mpg file

I have inserted a disk (video) that someone made for me. Quick time player keeps telling me that the movie (mpg) file cannot be opened. Can anyone tell me what's wrong or what I need to do to?

There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
If you want to try "hit and miss", Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might work. If not, you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Do not install both Perian and the DiVX/3iVX codecs at the same time.
If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give the aforementioned VLC Media Player a try.
Regards.

Quick Time Player stopped working & Export Controller stopped working

I'm not quite sure when my problem began, I downloaded video from my Canon sd980is camera to my computer, when I tried to view the videos I get the Quick Time Playerhas stopped working "A problem caused the program t stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" and I also get Export Controller has Stopped Working. I have attempted to uninstall QuickTime but am not sure if that actually occured. Now, when I try to open QuickTime it says "Quicktime has stopped working. I am able to play music and video from my itunes. I just can't play my .MOV from my camera on computer. ANYONE able to assist??

I am able to play music and video from my itunes. I just can't play my .MOV from my camera on computer.
I've got a few suspicions here, but I'll ask some questions before proceeding (to work out if I'm on the right track).
Was this the first time you had downloaded video from the camera to the PC? If so, did you have to install any Canon software in order to do that? If so, what was the name and version of the software?
When you tried to uninstall QuickTime, did you get a "fatal error" message?

Quick Time Pro not working - Video to iPod

I have not been able to copy video to my new iPod using Quick Time Pro
In this case this is a MPEG-4 to the Quick Time Movie format( MOV )
I have followed the tutorial of exporting this MPEG to the iPod( 320X240 ) format.
The exported file plays well on iTunes but when I synchronize the iPod I get a message that the file format cannot be played on the iPod and a Help-Link back to the same tutorial
I even tried converting a MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, with the same results.
Help & advise appreciated !
Thanks,

Did you check Window - Movie properties before converting?
QuickTime requires seperate video and audio tracks in order to produce a file for the iPod with both video and audio.
If the MPEG-2 you are trying to convert is muxed it will only take the video part of the muxed track.

I have put together a tutorial for using QuickTime to convert DVD to iPod which contains further details:

Not able to watch .mp4 videos in Quick Time Player

Hi,
I have a GOPro camera where the videos are currently stored on an external hard drive. I wanted to import those videos to iPhoto, which didn't work. Then I tried importing them without using iPhoto, but when trying to watch them I get a message saying that "Quick Time Player is not able to open the video.
I find this very strange, as I already have some GoPro videos in IPhoto, which I can view just fine (in iPhoto, and outside of iPhoto). The videos are shot using the same camera.
Also; Quick Time Player is supposed to support mp4. format; so I really don't see where I did go wrong?

What format is used on the external drive?
I suspect it's the reason the files can't be played.

HT204382 mpeg video file won't open in quick time player on my macbook running snow leopard. Works fine in iMac running mountain lion. Any ideas

HI,
If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
With Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself (on it's own) and restart iChat (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

Quick time player doesnt start any more since kernel shock and update, the symbol looks different, reinstallation doesn´t work

hi there.
I am using a Macbook Pro with snow leopard and this is my problem:
I was having a Kernel Shock 2 weeks ago. After that, my Finder-Dashboard hasn´t work any more. I´ve did the latest update. Now Dashboard Works but Quick Time Player doesns´t do.
I Can´t find NOWHERE in the internet an installation file for Quick time player to reinstall. And I can´t find my Installation DVD.
quicktime has changed his symbol to an white picture with pensil and brush.
I have made a second Account and activeted the guest accounts and tryed there, but Quick time player isn´t here working to.
its really sad that this program doesn´t run any more.
It blinks 2 times in the dock and shut down immediately.
Can someone please help me? is my only opinion finding the Disc?

I've tested that on an iPad 1 and it seems problem is performance related. On this device a simple click to a google search result link doesn't work properly. You hit the target multiple times and sporadically it opens. You still see the focus on the object and it's activation but no event triggering happens.
All others functions are working well, only Webapps and Webpages suffer from this issue.
The owner of the device has not recognized that issue and believed it is a "feature" not a bug as he do not has much experience with Apple devices. But this confirms it is on every device and not my own personal one or dedicated to our office. The only workaround is to use other devices or touching links with different speed/pressure. It works better if you hit the objects very quick lifting the finger immediately.

Hi Sansony,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you would like to record audio from the headphones you connected to your computer. When recording audio with QuickTime Player, you can choose to use the built-in microphone, an external microphone you’ve connected, or a microphone from a connected Apple display. Please use the following article as a reference.
Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
Clicking the triangle icon gives you additional options, such as letting you choose whether to use the built-in microphone on your Mac, an external microphone you've connected to your Mac, a microphone from a connected Apple display, or the option to simply use no microphone at all. The triangle also allows you to adjust the finished quality of your screen recording, select whether or not your mouse clicks are shown during the recording (the pointer is highlighted when you click), and to select what location (on your Mac) to save your screen recording when finished.
Have a great day,
Joe

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.
