QuickTime Content Does Not Load When Using Safari

For the past week or so, I've noticed that when using Safari, any QuickTime content fails to display, but instead, the QuickTime logo is displayed with a question mark in the center. That would indicate to me that Safari is not seeing that QuickTime is installed, but of course, it is. I tried actually reinstalling QuickTime, but that did not resolve the issue.
Again, this has only started in the last week or so. I'm new to the MAC world, so my troubleshooting skills are more limited with OSX. I also have Firefox installed, and QuickTime content opens as normal when using Firefox.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
iMac (Intel)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

I have had the same problem for some time now. As well as this problem, some QT movies load into QT but the sound does not play.
This all started when I loaded various other players such as VLC to run Windows Media Player stuff before Flip 4 Mac became universal. I have tried dumping prefs, turning off plug ins and a dozen other things between QT and Safari, including resetting Safarai and losing all my log ins etc.
Nothing runs on say www.youtube.com We just get the big Q with a question mark over it. The keynote address released yesterday does not play with sound.
I suggest we all look back and list what we did/installed just before the problem started and then we can compare and look for a common element.
As to checking "block pop ups" I never had that on to begin with.
We need to see if the problem is in Safari or Quicktime - or both. There are too many variables at the moment to narrow down the problem.
Our other iMac which is identical does NOT have the problem - because I didn't try to load any other software on to it.

  • Lenovo S8-50LC Wlan(WiFi) Does not work when use Sim Cart(3G)

    Hi
    Tablet Lenovo S8-50LC
    Wlan(WiFi) Does not work when use Sim Cart(3G).
    What is the solution for this problem?
    Build Number : TABS8-50LC_S000200_150121_ROW
    SoftWarw Version : TABS8-50LC_150121

    Right, but if you have the SIM in the tablet and you put the tablet in airplane mode, does wifi work then? If so, it may be a bad SIM. Do you have another SIM you can try?

    iPhone 4S with 7.0.4 occasionally the body of an email does not load. It's as if the email is blank. When the email has NOT been opened, the initial body (I'm set to 2 lines) displays perfectly. When the email is actually opened, nothing appears except the header ("from" and "to").

  • Ecore diagram editor does not load when I click the (aird) file

    When I click on an aird file , which I created for the first time to graphically edit an ecore diagram, the diagram editor does not load, but instead, Eclipse opens the aird file as xml in a text editor! Why this is happening? and how can I solve this? any thoughts?
    I am using Eclipse 4.4.2. in mac.
    I updated the content, with the hope to get a reply.

    Hi, sorry for the lag.
    This might happen depending on the perspective you are using, please try with the "Modeling" perspective.
    You should be able to load the .aird using right-click=>open and then see the corresponding diagrams as childs of the .aird file.

  • Flash Player Content does not Minimize when Firefox does

    When Firefox is Minimized, Flash Player Content does not.
    It shows it perfectly with other opened (not minimized) applications in the exact location where it was (the flash content) before. The other application seems to need an RGB colour map of exactly #000000 for it to show.
    It cannot be captured in a screenshot using screengrab, nor can it be shown in playback from recordmydesktop.

    How about the screen saver that kicks in...
    It can even be worse when you also get a red/blue color swap.
    *https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3109467
    Unfortunately Adobe no longer maintains Flash on Linux, so Flash 11.2 is the latest and Adobe has no intention to fix any issues in this version apart from security updates.

  • Content does not update when published

    My content is not updating when I publish updates to my app. Side loading shows the updates, but an updated published folio doesn't. On the third try, I got a blank light grey screen. I finally had to unpublish and republish the content, which is obviously not an ideal situation.
    Are there any known bugs or problems at the moment that could be causing this issue? The DPS Status page doesn't have any info.
    Thanks
    -Scott

    I'm not aware of a way to get out of this state cleanly. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app fixes the problem (unless your unpublish/republish again), but it's difficult to tell your customers to uninstall/reinstall. Another option is to unpublish and then publish the affected folios as different folios, but then some of your users will end up with two versions of a similar folio until they archive the older version.
    Let me ask around to make sure that I'm correct about the cause and to see if there's a cleaner workaround.

    I have my iTunes settings 'disable automatic syncing for iphones and ipods' unchecked, and in my iPod settings i have 'open iTunes when connected' option checked, and iTunes still does not load. How do I solve this?

    If you have itunes open and then connect the nano, what happens?
