Quick Time Player Opens Off-Center

I use QT 7.7.2 and, when I open videos in the player, the pane is reduced from full screen and off center. To play it I have to drag it to the left to reveal the controls at the top right, then click to go to full screen. I have to do this for every video clip. How can I get the player to open in full screen, please? I am sure it's a simple setting.

Quicktime Player opens off center and to large

Hello,
The QuickTime player always opens to large and off center on my screen. I have changed preferences in the options to every setting possible but nothing works. Using Windows 8. My windows 7 machine behaves exactly the same. I am running the Free version of QuickTime. I do video editing so I must have QuickTime in order to do my work. I have many videos with transparency created with the Animation codec. The Windows player cannot play them, if it would I would not need the QuickTime player at all.When I click the fullscreen button at the top right hand corner of the player it corrects itself but I must first slide the player to the left to get access to the button which is offscreen .I should not need to do this. Thanks to anyone that can help. This is a very irritating thing to deal with.

Accidentally took off quick time player and Itunes wont open now

so I have a pentium 3 windows 2000 IBM laptop
terrible i know
i was trying to get more memory onto my computer by deleting programs i didnt need and a supposed "computer wiz" told me that i didnt need quick time player to run Itunes.
so i took it off and now Itunes wont even open. a message pops up saying that i need to reinstall Itunes
because i have such an old computer (and buying a new one isnt an option right now) the newest version of quick time player isnt compatible with my computer
i tried downloading an older version of quicktime and that hasnt worked either
so my fear is that if i unistall and then reinstall Itunes that
a) i will lose all my music
and
b) there wont be a version of Itunes i can download since i have such an old computer
any ideas or suggests?

Uninstalling the iTunes program should not affect your music folder however to be sure nothing goes wrong you should backup you music before starting. You might also want to have a look at this page, it refers to XP but you should be able to adapt it to 2000: Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components
You can get the highest version of iTunes that will work with Windows 2000 at this link: iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000

How to open videos in Quick Time Player form my website

Hi guys and girls,
I hope everyone is good. I was surching this forums for a while trying to find the answer. I didn't find a complete so I thought I'd post a question and hope someone could give me a complete step-by-step guide.
Here is what I'm trying to do.
Here is my site (one of them)
http://web.mac.com/yuriyork/iWeb/720Neighbourhoodcircle/Welcome.html
if you go to video page you will see a QT movie loads and if you click play it starts to play. What I want is to make it play movie automatically once the page is open. I'd like to make this page the same way apple has done their video adds here http://www.apple.com/iphone/ads/ad2/ You have a button for small, medium large and HD formates and they all open in the same window. How did they do it?
Also, how can I make a movie open in new quick time player window outside of the safari browser.
Thank you in advance for all of your help with this.
Sincerely,
Yuri

do you know HTML? if you really do not know some important basics, then i suggest you forget this!
secondly, if you want to offer people a small, medium ,etc., version of your movie, that is gonna take up lots of space! you might just offer one version. 90% of the people watch only the large version.
if you do want to really really integrate this - then i guess you will have to use frames - or some kind of script (someone correct me if im wrong).

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)

I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens this one file.Ideas?

I can't open one Quick Time movie file. It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens on this one file. All the others of a two hour shoot are fine.
Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it?

Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

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.

Perian 1.2.3 *should* work for both QuickTime & and QTX in Mountain Lion. Regardless of the filetype container, whether it is a Matroska (.mkv) or a .mov. As to the actual encoding of the file (h264, .mp2, whatever..) I have found most play, even older formats.
Even though it's no longer supported and is a dead project, it works just fine. It will load as a System Preference file and adds to the Other category in them.
I think in 10.8 you've still got support for QTX so it may work with that. (in Mavericks, it only works for QT7)
If not, just run QuickTime 7.6.6.

If no luck there, you could also try VLC at http://www.videolan.org

IBooks, Mail, After Affects, Quick Time Player, Maps, App Store, won't open after Mavericks install/update

Just about everything on computer is slow as mollases after Mavericks Update. I am very angry because I can't use After Effects at all. It says it's not compatible with this new system. My mail application crashes as soon as I open it. Notification centre is non-existent now and Messages app won't open at all. Other apps such as iBooks, Mail, After Affects, Quick Time Player, Maps, App Store, and a few others won't open at all on this new system. I'm soo angry with Apple as I've never had so many problems with a new OS X. .. I would love to downgrade back to Mountain Lion OS. Anyone with helpful info, please respond. Thanks.

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.

Use VLC . Plays just about any format and it's free.

I believe there is a technique which uses some similar suggestion to unwittingly tempt the user into installing malware, in order to be able to watch some (usually sexually explicit) video, so be aware of this ruse.
The only things I would download would be Perian that extends Quicktime, available here,
http://www.perian.org/
and if that did not do it, then try VLC to use instead of Quicktime.

HT3775 Why the the Quick Time Player is not opening?

I have been trying to watch a video for class, I'm unable to do that due to the quick time player. I've download it several time already. why is that?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

Quick Time Player doesn't open WMV files with a double click.

After I download a WAV file and double click on the file; a message appears install "Quick Time Player must be installed to run this application;" however when I open Quick Time Player and select the file it plays with no issues. My question is why would I be getting this message after upgrading to Snow Leopard?

you do have QT player installed. you just need to associate wmv files with it. select a .wmv file in finder and enter command+i. in the popup go to the "open with" section set it to open with QT player and click "change all".

I cannot open Quick Time Player at all

I am simply trying to open Quick Time Player to record a self video. I go to my Applications folder, click on Quick Time Player. It loads into the dock, I double click on the QTP icon, nothing happens. I right click on the QTP icon and get a mini menu of options that don't seem to apply to opening the program to include nothing in the Options (and there is not a selection of "SHOW" only Show All Windows which merely lists four movies I have on my hard drive. Any suggestions from anyone? Keep it real simple please and assume nothing. I'm of the slide rule era, well before the 8086 days and grew up on the PC. Thanks.

Double-click the QuickTime Player and choose New Movie Recording from the File menu. The QuickTime Player will only have a window open when instructed to do so; the items in the menu bar will change when it's launched.
