Quicktime 7.2 won't play videos or adds on safari

I installed quicktime 7.2 on to my mac book, and now videos and adds don't show all I get is a Q with a ? mark on it. I'm not that good with computers, but can some Please help me solve this problem?

Quicktime with a ? refers to Flash video.
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Quicktime won't play videos online. ???

I just downloaded quicktime, and then restarted my computer. But it still won't play videos online. I'm not sure if it is like this for all sites, but i have one site in particular that won't play videos. Any ideas? I have Windows 7 by the way.

I come across this a lot, actually. I'm tired of having to switch to Firefox in order to view certain quicktimes. Here's a clip that won't play for me:

I can't figure it out because Safari will play quicktimes, even other h264 quicktimes, but then I'll run across an h264 on someone's site and I get the question mark.

I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
Any thoughts?

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

Is it a Flash issue perhaps?

Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

Hi,
I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
Many thanks,
Ian Pickering

This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.

My internet won't play videos through safari or YouTube... What if I do

Wifi? Cellular? That's not much to go on. More details help. If you think it's your internet contact your provider or carrier.

My computer won't play videos from site like the Daily Show and the CW, but they stopped working last week. I have the newest version of Adobe player. Anyone know why the full videos will not play?

I failed to mention that the sound does play on the videos that are not playing.

My computer won't play videos..

My computer won't play videos on news sites or videos I have successfully uploaded and others have viewed on Facebook. It's fairly new- do I need a new version of Safari? I have version 5.0.

Do you have the Flash player installed? If not, go to Adobe and install the newest version.

Help! iPod Classic 5th generation won't play video

My iPod won't play videos at all. I get a logo screen with TV or Podcast (e.g.) image in the upper left corner & audio will play but no video. Any ideas how to solve this?

Actually I found the answer!!, It was a matter of of changing my settings (in video) of tv out to off instead of on.
Thank you anyway!!

Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. w/latest Flash version.

Despite following both Firefox and Flash directions, Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. They either never load or they load and freeze within seconds. Before I got the latest versions of Firefox and Flash, I did not have this problem. So there must be a problem in one or both of them. Since I understand from various websites that this is a widespread problem, can Firefox fix this? It's a major flaw in the latest Firefox version.

'''If you are running Adblock Plus...'''
While on a YouTube page, right click the ABP icon and "open blockable items".
When the window opens at the bottom of the page, right click this line: http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swfbin/watch_as3-vfl9DouAr.swf (or some variation) , then "Disable Filter".

Safari won't play videos which require flash player

I have a 13 inch macbook with safari 5, which on my account will not play videos on youtube, bbc iplayer and other sites. Safari will play the videos on the root user and another account. I have installed flash player, shockwave player, and adobe air, but safari still doesn't play videos. please help.

Hi
Safari-Preferences-Security-Enable Plug Ins is checked on ?
you've no Safari extensions enabled ? (remove them, restart safari & test again)
look in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and Input Managers for any software that may interfere with Flash
also in System Preferences-Accounts-Login Items .
Failing all those - quit safari & move home/library/preferences/com.apple.safari.plist to the desktop
also, trash home/library/preferences/macromedia/Flash Player/

Quicktime Player Pro won't play any movies?

Ever since I restored my computer about a month ago, my Quicktime Player won't play any video formats correctly. .avi files don't play anymore, and mp4 files only play sound with the screen black. Then when I try to close the application, I get the pinwheel for a long time, thus making me force quit every time. How can I fix this so it can play movies correctly?
(I'd also like to know how to get it to play .mka format movies as well)

Courtney,
There are a lot of possible CODECS used with .AVI file, not all of which are available for the QuickTime player.
If you just want to play the AVI files use the free VLC media player found at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
Audio (mp3, ogg) plays fine though.
I've tried to compile my own mplayer and that works great. Would be nice if the arch version worked as well

Tried it, but to the same result
What I found out is that the user can play videos from console with framebuffer at least. Not that it helps..

My mac won't play videos or games.

Basically, everytime I want to watch a video or play a game, it says blocked plug in. Even video ads won't play, and I don't know how to stop it. It was working before and I don't know what I did wrong.

Mine were taking forever to load too and consuming 100% of cpu for minutes.
I uninstalled the perian codec I had previously installed (delete Perian from HD/Library/Quicktime) and downloaded and installed the latest version 1.0
This speeded things up. In the same folder I also had 3ivx so I deleted that as Perian should be able to take care of things.
Things are now much faster and the cpu doesn't sit at 100% for 1-2 minutes before playing the video.
If it slows down again, I might uncheck the "play avi files" option in Flip 4 Mac as Perian is pretty good at covering these whilst Flip4Mac does a good job with wmv.
Anyway, this has fixed things for me.
Best of luck
