Quicktime definitely not working right in different browsers

So I just made and published my site with iweb. I've uploaded it to my own server and everything loads up a look pretty good. However, the quicktime movies on my site are doing strange things.
In safari, when I go to a page that I have a quicktime movie on, I can't play it. I try to click the play button, and it won't work. But, if I right click it, it starts to play. In firefox for OSX, I can't click it at all, won't work. On a pc, firefox works perfect. All the movies play with no problem and everything looks great. In internet explorer on a pc, the site loads weird. There are white boxes everywhere, and when the pages finish loading, they are gone. It is especially annoying on the pages I have quicktime movies in, because the white boxes don't go away until the movie is done loading.
So far I have read quite a few posts that talk about "making quicktime autoplay". I have tried the technique of changing the autoplay function from "false" to "true, however when I open the specific .html file in text editor, or any html editor for that matter, the line of code containing the quicktime information is nowhere to be found. I know the page has a movie on it, but it's not in the code. Which leads me to believe it's got something to do with .mac vs. a personal server. I don't know.
Any help on any of these things would be great appreciated.
my site is: http://www.nealham.com
Thanks!

I'm sure the problem isn't what's actually there in iWeb, but what's getting created as a result. On your demo reel page, start selecting at the "all" in "all rights reserved" and drag the cursor to the middle of the video. You'll see your control bar becomes obscured. Compare that to one of my video pages
http://web.mac.com/makentosh/iWeb/tipsfromtheiceberg/Blog/E275A42E-C27D-4634-BB8 6-B8218F9A175C.html
and you'll notice that it's difficult to find a click and drag that will highlight my control bar (if you start between the m and the e it's a little easier, but not every time).
The reason why I mentioned taking it apart and putting it back together again piece by piece is because then that would at least give you and idea about at what point it becomes unplayable so that when it happens in the future, you'd be able to easily defeat it. For example, if you removed everything and it still doesn't work, then you'd know you've got a really REALLY strange problem on your hands.
You could try using the forward button to move your QuickTime movie to the fore to see if that solves it, but I just checked mine and it's not the frontmost item (it's one layer down).

Open browser window - not working right in different browsers

My client wants to link to a video on another company's site (he has permission). When I use the DW behavior of Open Browser Window in a specifc size it acts weird, depending on which broswer is used. I've used this function many times over the years and never had this problem until now.
Here is the page: http://www.jesseyoung.com/clients/pristine/services/chimney_sweeps.shtml If you click on the blue graphic "Chimney safety institute of America" it is supposed to open in a 620x460 window. But the client says that sometimes it opens a second full browser window of the site, and also a window with the video, which is not sized properly. It happens with Safari and Firefox, on both is Mac and PC. On my PC it all seems to work fine.
Any suggestions? Could this be something to do with the fact that the video is hosted on someone else's site?

Quicktime Plugin not working in Browers

Hello,
I am having a frustrating problem with my quicktime plugin not working in BOTH Safari and Firefox. When I try to watch my a quicktime link on the web I cannot view it, I get the quicktime icon with the question mark. However, when I log in as a different user and goto the same link I can view the movie. I believe the movie is a mp4.
I have already deleted my quicktime preferences and also tried to boot up in 32 bit mode.
Any suggestions to what may cause this? This must be something that is specific to my user. I have also removed perian and deleted perian preferences.
Please Help!

I have scoured the internet looking for a way to play MP3 files right in the browser window and have come up with nothing. Firefox does not let me set MP3 files to play with the QuickTime Plugin but instead I can only have them play in iTunes or QuickTime after a download. Pretty much same with Chrome and Safari. Neither will let me just play the MP3 right in the browser. Please help!

My Safari is not working right. It often stalls and I get the "colored spinning wheel of Death". I send reports to Apple, but I never get any response or helpful info. What do I do to get Safari working correctly on my MacBook laptop?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Remote not working right

I've had my FIOS about 2 months, put new batteries in remote and it is still not working right. Some things work fine. Other things stopped working - can't delete a DVR show, can't change channels with one digit, but it will if I add all 4 digits, info box on bottom of screen never disappears (unless I hit exit). What's wrong?
My second TV set-up is OK.
Solved!

Might not even be a remote issue. Have you tried rebooting the box?
If you do think it's the remote it's still under warranty.
You can get a free replacement easy within the dvr's menu.
Here is a page that tells you ways to get a replacement.

Get a new remote and if you still have the same issues then you'll know its the dvr that needs to be replaced.

Is there any way to redownload iOS 5 my iPod touch 4 th generation white 32 gig is not working right?

My iPod is not working right. It's slow and lags and just doesn't work and always exits apps. I was if there was any way to redownload ios5 because it does the same things after I've reset about 4 times. Please help! It's even lagging why I am typing this. The thing that I checked below are all of the things that are not working on my iPod.

You cannot reinstall iOS without doing a restore. But you might first try a software update. If you have iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1, you can update to iOS 5.1 by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

IPad 2 was updated to latest iOS 7 and has been not working right since. I have tried to do a restore but still continues to go into reboot mode by itself and very erratic. Can no longer trust it. I tried to complain to Apple but have to give them 20 buck

iPad has not worked right since it updated to latest software. Tried to question Apple about it but it costs 20 bucks just to lodge a complaint. Is this normal Apple behavior or am I missing something. Also anyone else having issues with upgrade to iOS7. It was working great until that point and now goes into reboot mode often and sometimes will continuously reboot several times. I have tried to restore but that didn't clear the problem. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

I downloaded the newest version of itunes. now Quicktime is not working with it. I reinstalled itunes as directed and it's still not working

I downloaded the newest verion of itunes. Now quicktime is not working...error 2096. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. still nothing. i have read countless other people having the same issue. What is the problem?????

error 2096
That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

My iPad mini is not working right on some apps

You can always try to reset your device and see if it helps matters any:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Since updating to 706 the sound on my ipad2 is not working right. On videos or music. There is constant distortion and what sounds like interference. Any ideas?

Since updating to 706 the sound on my ipad2 is not working right--on videos or music. There is distortion and some kind of interference at all times. Any ideas?

Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?
If "No," first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

It's the Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop Elements 9 and I'm trying to get the background and make it another layer so I can even out the color of the background then bring down the transparency. Not sure if that makes sense. I'm new to this.... Sometimes the area it will grab can go ...not fast.. but not slow. Sometimes it's like it's just messed up and literally takes 30 seconds to process each move. I rebooted my computer and re opened it and it helped a little. It's not clear what causes it when it messes up and when it doesn't. Just frustrating. It's probably user error because I'm so new at Photoshop. Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it.

Scroll-bar STILL not working right in 10.6.1 update

The scroll-bar is STILL NOT working right in the 10.6.1 update. I am not able to click anywhere on the scroll-bar and have the navigation go there. I have to drag the blamed thing where ever I want it to go. This problem only exist with the recent iTunes 10.6.x updates.

I have the new MacBook Pro 2010, Dell 3007WFP. No mirroring problemsat that or higher res. I was chagrined, however, to find out that while my 2007 15" MacBook Pro had no problems driving the Dell 30", the 2010 17" requires the Dual Link cable for $100 extra. ;>(
But it works fine.

Safari 5.1.2 Not working right after install

Hi, after installing the update for Snow Leopard safari is not working right. Some pages don't load, and other don't load correctly.
I have to keep hitting refresh two or three times. Also thunbnails are not displaying. Even the apple page comes up looking buggy.
Please help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Ethernet, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in as yourself. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t work in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
In safe mode, test again. Same problem(s) now?
After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

Command key not working right in several applications

All of a sudden, some functions are not working right, i.e., in PhotoShop when I select the Zoom key I get a minus rather than the usual plus. In Date and Time, I started getting a 24 hour clock. If I go there in System Prefs and change to 24 hour clock, then the readout on my menu bar is for 12 hour clock. Sometimes when I use Command-Q the machine asks me if I want to close all programs rather than just the one I'm attempting to leave. What is wrong?

Hi n,
I have no idea if this might work, but I'd reset the PRAM and SMC.
