Quicktime app does not work

I have just tried to open a TS file on my Mac Pro Yosemite and got a message that ¨ To open this file I needed to download and install Quicktime Mpg2 Playback Component¨,
Buy online from http.//www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2 which I did. I paid €19.99 and it downloaded. I opened the installer and then got the message ¨QuickTime MPEG2 can't be installed on this disk. This software is intended for an earlier version of Mac OS X ¨.
I have now paid out to Apple for something that leaves me out of pocket for something they recommend that does not work. How do I get my money back?

What version of Quicktime are you running?  The MPEG-2 Playback Component is only for Quicktime 7.  It will not work with later versions of Quicktime.  If you are running Quicktime that ships with Lion or later, this component already is included.  However it should still work with Quicktime 7 if it was installed prior to migrating or upgrading to Lion or later.
Determining QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component version - Apple Support
OS X: Unable to install QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component - Apple Support
If the file in question will not run under the Quicktime that shipped with Yosemite, try using VideoLAN.

  • Most of the default Mac Apps does not work after Mavericks Upgrade

    Hi, I did everything, but nothing has brought me out of this misery .
    I Updated Maverick just 2 days after its release. Had no problems, other then slow Finder. I restarted my iMac last week, and got caught with these issues, known to me, not sure what all bugs are there.
    All these apps does not work: App Store, TextEdit, Preview, Terminal, iBooks, Maps, Calendar, Contacts, Mail, etc
    I do not know how to do a clean install, as I had upgraded from Snow Leopord to Mountain Lion and to Maverick using App Store, which does not open at all.
    Hoping to get some response soon from Apple support team to help me.

    Hi Arthur,
    Thanks for the headsup about Apple Support thing... My iMac is not under warranty.

  • Reminders App does not work on Yosemite with two iCloud accounts.

    The Reminders App does not work on Yosemite (10.10.1) with two iCloud accounts. It seems like when there are two iCloud accounts connected in Yosemite (10.10.1) the plist file for Reminders disappears.
    I have tried restarting Reminders; restarting the mac; starting the mac in recovery mode to repair the disk and disk permissions; and starting the mac in recovery mode and reinstalling OSX.

    Yes sharing Reminders list works. The problem is, I have one shared iCloud account with a colleague (shared calendar, Reminders and email). It makes it easier to run our business with a single shared iCloud account...I know it's not the typical usage.

  • Recently upgraded from Windows 7 to 10. Now EOS Utility app does not work.

    Recently upgraded from Windows 7 to 10. Tried downloading photos from my 5D Mark II, but EOS Utility app does not work to Select Images to Download, unlike before. But when I disconnected my External Hard Drive, EOS Utility app main window works normally. I need the external hard drive connected all the time. How can I fix this problem, please? Thanks.

    This sounds like a hardware problem with your computer.  A USB port puts out a certain amount of power and can be used to power external devices... such as hard drives.  But the camera does not use any USB power -- it runs on the power from the internal battery.  It only uses the data pins to communicate. But you are describing a situation in which having one device connected a to a USB port prevents a different USB port from working.  That can happen if the device in one port is drawing too much power (it can prevent other ports from working correctly.)   Did you have this problem when using Windows 7?

    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • My mic on the notes app does not work

    my mic on the notes app does not work

    I have chosen to sort "oldest first" and to play "oldest to newest". I also just recently deleted and reinstalled the podcast app via iTunes. I am still getting the random play results. I even deleted all played apps manually since the option to keep "All Unplayed Episodes" also keeps ALL episodes. So even though I had only 2 episodes available it would not advance to the only other remaining episode.
    This Podcast App is atrocious. Its the only app I've ever owned that has never worked as advertised.

    Other than what you have already done, you should clear the cache from your browser and, if you use it, your Facebook app.  Also, deleting old texts can free up some room.

  • Recording desktop in Quicktime 10 does not work in SL

    OS 10.6.8 and QT 10.0 (131)
    I want to record one of my desktop processes with QuickTime (v10.0).  However it does not work, I get the following message:
    The operation couldn't be completed. (OS Status error -108.)
    I do get a file that appears to be the recording but it does not want to open. And I do need to force quit QuickTime almost every time the error appears.
    On my other Mac, also with 10.6.8, it works fine.  So I am puzzled. 
    Anybody know what this could be? How to fix? Open to suggestions.
    I was also looking for a version of QT10 to reinstall it but can not find one. ( I was hoping this might fix it).

    Why not use QuickTime 7.6.6 which is located inside your utility folder?
    I was also looking for a version of QT10 to reinstall it but can not find one.
    You can custom install directly from your system disc that came with your computer.  Follow the onscreen custom install instructions.

  • Quicktime movie does not work on hosted iWeb website

    Problem: I have a media file portion on my iWeb designed website that displays pictures (working very well) and one that is supposed to show a movie (not working at all). The movie was made with iMovie and has an .m4v extension. When you click on the link for the movie it shows a blank screen on Firefox and a Quicktime logo with a big question mark on Safari. I'm attempting to view the website on my Mac with the latest Quicktime software on it but it doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fix it?
    Some additional info: the hosting provider is 1and1.com and I have a Windows server package (unfortunately). Also, if I publish the site to a folder the movie area works flawlessly, it just does not work on the hosted site.
    Thanks!!

    Thank you. I converted the file to .MOV and it now works on Safari but has not worked on Firefox (have not tried yet on a Windows based machine). At least headed in the right direction. I will also contact 1and1. Thanks again.

  • Android App does not work for me

    Hello:
    I have an Android Tablet with 2.3.3 version.
    The tablet has flash player 10.1 and  Adobe Air 3.0 installed.
    I have made a simple apk in flash CS5.5 iwith Adobe Air SDK 3.1.
    The application only has a frame with a "Welcome" label.
    When I install the application in the tablet is OK but when I run it I have no error only a black screen,
    Can you help me to solve this, Please?
    thank you very much.

    The device I run from is Android 4.1.  It does work but the screen ratio is wrong.  Not slating BT.  The app is brilliant but want to watch in full 16:9.  I think it's a slight oversite on there part which can be easily fixed.
    My device connects to the TV via HDMI so I suspect the BT sports apps does not recognise this and plays it in 4:3 left justified.
    Live screen shot courtesy of the BT Sport App.
    Playing stream before going full screen and preview stream is 16:9
    Playing full screen and ratio is 4:3

  • I updated my ad to iOS 6 and now my App Store app does not work, how can I get it back

    I updated my iPad 2 with the latest iOS 6 and now my App Store application does not work right.  The only part that does work is the genius, and the purchased, but I cannot search for any new apps now have the categories come up.  I don't know how else to search for apps, and I don't know how to download this as it was pre installed.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".
