Quicktime codecs missing AE can't output HELP!!! :)

I recently uninstalled my older versions of CS3 & CS4 from my computer, with those I seemed to lose my quicktime codecs. When I go to render out of AE I am missing lossless, alpha only, lossless with alpha, Quicktime DV NTSC, PAL 48khz, and Ram Preview. Is there any way to get the quicktime components reinstalled? A link?
My output to in Render also says Unknown Output Destination... When clicked it errors: After Effects warning: cannot output to this format because it is not currently installed. (39 :: 99)
I also get the following errors at program start You have at least one output module template that refers to a missing output plug-in. Please check your Output Module Templates.
I am using a iMac with OSX 10.6.4 installed, with Quicktime 10

I have the same issue as the OP - however you as a 'Community Professional' should know that OSX as of 10.6 there is no quicktime preference panel, so I think it is a little premature to pronounce serious and fundamental issues with his system.
This problem is unsolved, and it occurs with my new install of CS5 on 10.6.
Many of us discovered to our horror that upgrading from 10.5 to MacOS10.6 made Quicktime Pro disappear only to be replaced by the crippled QTx Most of the functions of QTPro have been incorporated directly into Apple's pro apps. You can install QT7 from the 10.6 disk as an option and that might reinstate some of your lost functions. Dunno, I have not bothered; everything I need from QT is readily available but I have not had a request for any products using legacy codecs.
We tend to bristle when our best people take a hit. As a community professional, I bow regularly to Myl's seemingly infinite knowledge as well as his tolerance and patience. I think he's a (pitiful) Windows user so an expectation for him to know everything about Apple's weirdly subtle OS changes is a stretch.

Quicktime codec not found - can't open in FCP

I have the FCP:Beyond the Basics book. The media files are largely HD quality. Upon trying to open them, FCP gives me the following error,"Codec not found. You may be using compressor type without the corresponding hardware card." This is followed by a "not enough memory" message.
The source files also cannot be opened up in quicktime, so I assume it's a quicktime codec issue. My FCP and QT Pro are completely updated. Nowhere can I find where I might gain the missing codec or why it isn't present to begin with. I have reinstalled the media and am inprocess of reinstalling QT.
My old MacBookPro (last year's model) could read all of these files, no prob.

QT reinstall did no good.
As a side note...this is a totally new computer. Oringinally, I installed FCP but not DVD Studio Pro. At a later date, I installed Studio Pro. I don't know if this messed with codecs or not.
Also, I couldn't find any apple hdv codec in the qt library. There is the apple intermediate codec, though. Hmmmmmmm.

I have the Iphone 5 and when i'm getting a call no sound nothing happens. and i want the sound because i keep on missing calls can anyone please help?!?!

i need help please !!

Is it on mute?
Look on the left side of the device above the volume controls, if you see a red dot the device is in mute, flip the switch to take it off mute.
Is the volume turned up?

PE 10 importing .mov files to a Mac, error message regarding codecs missing.. Help, please

Premiere Elements 10 ... When trying to import .mov files directly from the source, error message says, "codecs missing or unavailable". So I'm stuck.

I have no experience working with a Zoom cam. But sometimes it helps if you install the camcorder's software on your computer. This can install the necessary codecs. (And, of course, make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements.)
Most likely the cam shoots in a proprietary MP4 codec. So starting a new project and setting it up for Flip cam video might also activate the necessary codecs.
If it still won't go, then version may not have the ability to interface with this camcorder's footage.

How can I check to see if my version of QuickTime Pro 7.6.6 already has ProApps QuickTime Codecs installed? I also have Final Cut Pro 6. I'm asking because my computer can't seem to play ProRes 422 codec video without stuttering or skipping?

I have a fairly capable MacBook Pro (2.93 GHzIntel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory and a 1TB HD -5400 rpm, so I am hoping it's not that my computer that can't support it and it's something more simple like not have ProApps QuickTime codecs installed. Thanks in advance!

If you can view a ProRes 4-2-2 video at all, then you either have the independent ProRes422 Playback component installed or the FCP "Pro" video components installed.

Check your "~/Library/QuickTime" folder for your various "Pro" components. If in doubt that you have them all, re-run the FCP installer and it should add any missing components, apps, or utilities.

"Error Message. Codec missing or unavailable." Help?

Hi,
I currently have a problem that I'm in need of assistance with regarding importing video into Premiere Pro CS5 on a Windows Vista (64bit) PC. I'm a new user of CS5 so I'm not completely familiar with everything yet, but I'm a fairly competent user of Final Cut Pro on MACs.
My problem is that when I attempt to import my video files into Premiere, I am given an error message saying "Error Message. Codec missing or unavailable.". I can see on the forums that this has happened to people before, but unfortunately, the solutions I have read can't help my situation because I don't currently have access to FCP to edit the footage as an alternative and only have access to CS5 on a PC to edit so I really need the files to work.
The video files I'm wanting to import are .mov HD files which were captured using FCP on a MAC. The footage was shot in HD 1080i on DV tape using Sony Z1 and Z5 cameras and captured (using a tape deck and FCP's Log & Capture) under the settings of HDV 1080i and 25fps.
The raw .mov files were then transferred to my PC for editing on Premiere and then this is where I have the problem with the codec error...
If anyone can explain to me why the files aren't working or can offer any solutions or advice on how to get them working with Premiere, it will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Dan.

Hi Harm,
Thanks for the quick response. Can you expand on what you mean by converting to standard HDV? Sorry if it seems like a dumb question...
Thanks.

If the video codecs you've downloaded are not "Universal" you'll need to launch QuickTime under Rosetta.

Missing Quicktime Codecs

When i did the last update i seem to have lost some of my Quicktime codecs. How do I get them back? I'm trying to edit HDV in Final Cut Pro but I keep getting an error message saying I do not have the required codec. I used to have it so where has it gone?
Is there somewhere I can re-install them from? And where is the correct location for these as I have two Quicktime folders.
Hard Drive -> Library -> Qt = empty
Hard Drive -> Library -> Quicktime = empty
User -> Library -> Quicktime = I have the following: AC3MovieImport / LimitedOffsetDH / Perian
Can anybody advise what I'm missing and where to get it from please?

I have OS 10.5.8 and am unable to run ITunes or IPhoto. I can reinstall I tunes, but it says I need the newest version of QuickTime, which I already have. Any help would be appreciated!

How Can I Fix A QuickTime Codec Error?

How Can I Fix A QuickTime Codec Error?
I have several movies from 2008 that are labeled as .mov but I now get a QuickTime error saying "The document "XXXXXX" could not be opened. A required Codec isn't available."
These movies ran in QuickTime just fine until about a month ago.
All the folders in which these movies were stored in 4 folders in 2 folders in one folder. All folders at each level were encrypted with Stuffit Deluxe a version circa 2008 and decrypted with a newer Stuffit Deluxe 10.x. Other movies that are NOT .mov and in with the .mov movies still run.
If I click on the Thumbnail Preview "It" runs.
How can I fix this?
TOP image is the Error message.
BOTTOM image is the Thumbnail Preview info.
I've checked out "Tell Me More" and have not found a solution.

How Can I Fix A QuickTime Codec Error?
The basic work flow is to determine which codecs were used to create the non-playing file and then check to see if these formats are supported by your current system codec component configuration.
If the files will open in one of the QT player app, the open the inspector window to see which codecs were used to create the original file as seen here...
or here in the "Format" entry...
Or, if you have QT 7 keyed for "Pro" use, you can open the "Properties" window to gain even more information as demonstrated here...
if you file will not open in either of the QT Player apps, then you can try opening the Finder "Get Info" window for the file,
use a third-party media player that will open the file, or
use a dedicated media information utility to learn this information....
Once you know what codecs were used to create the file, post back with this information so we can deterine if the file should be natively supported by your Mac OS X install, requires an Apple Pro editing codec normally installed by the editor app, or requires a third-party codec which the user must supply.

Your information does not indicate whether or not the files actually played on the current system or were transferred from a different system which was properly configured for playbac, whether or not you recently upgraded your operating system/modified your codec component configuration by adding or deleting any codecs, whether your compound "Stuffing" of the files created corruption, etc.
As to MOV files the selves, this extension just implies the data was placed in the QT generic file container and the actually data could be of any compression format thathat was compatible with the codec component configuration for the system on which the files were created and could include natively supported system codecs, pro editing codecs, and/or third-party proprietary or hybrid codecs. (I.e., this is why we may need more information regarding the individual non-playing files.)
If I click on the Thumbnail Preview "It" runs.
f you are referring to QuickLook (QL) then the technology is different than QuickTime (QT). In the former case, the system is playing representative data but not actually opening the file as QT does. Thus, there is always the possibility that the problem is in the file structure (atom) information. For instance, suppose someone merely changed the MOV file extension in the Finder rather than actually copying data to a real MOV file container. Then it is possible that the QT player app may be searching for a codec that is not supposed or expected to be supported in the MOV file container and, not finding it, issues the erroneous codec error message—especially since you did not inticate the source of the file you are trying to play or, in some cases, which QT player is now not playing the file.
In short, there are several possibilities here and not enough specific information.

My iPod mini, 4gb is hard to get serviced obviously because they dont make them anymore
It is as simple to get it serviced as the day you purchased it.
How is it hard to get it serviced?
How long have you had your iPod?
i get maybe 4-5 hours of battery life, maybe even 6 if im lucky
That is not good but it's not "terrible".
If you've had it less than a year, send it back to Apple to replace the battery.
thought that i might buy an attachment type accesorie that i plug into the usb port on my ipod
It's called a dock connector, not a USB port.
i found a product in the online store, that i guess you place the ipod mini on, and it gives you up to 20 or so more hours of time but then it says that you have to have a firewire port or cable?
What is it? The firewire port is on the computer, not the iPod.
If the original battery is going bad, the first thing to do is get that sorted out.

Where can I get help re: a file missing from Pages in iCloud?

Where can I get help re: a file missing from Pages in iCloud?

If the file was also on a mac, then there was a local copy of the file in ~/Library/Mobile Documents. If you use Time Machine or any other backup program on your computer, then try restoring the file(s). Similarly the same thing would be done on a PC, but I'm not sure where the icloud local copies are kept.
