Quicktime does not open, etc.

ok, when i go to open Quick time, it doesn't open, instead, a window ALWAYS pops up saying: "Quicktime player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." How do I solve that problem?
Also, when i open the "add or remove programs" window, quicktime doesn't appear on the list(this is under "change or remove programs"), why is this?
I would appreciate it very much if someone could tell me the solution to these 2 problems. Thanx =)

It would seem to me that the solution would be that you have to remove QT manually from the computer then download and install a new version.
I really don't see doing a repair myself to get the exsisting QT running. For QT to not appear in the add\remove control panel would appear to me that a registry key was deleted, I don't know how else it would have been removed from the control panel.

Quicktime Does Not Open All Movies

I have a video that was made in 1997, stored on a 1.44MB diskette, and now I'm trying to open it with Quicktime. Quicktime simply comes up with a white screen but goes through the automation.
The Type is "MooV' and the Creator is "TVOD". I have never heard of this type or creator. I have tried several different applications that work with videos without success. I know the video is there as some of the video applications show a proper thumbnail image of whats in the movie.
I would like to translate this to Quicktime. Some of the older software allowed this.
Can anyone help me?
Bud

You can try VisualHub from Techspansion:
http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/
Also, try dragging the file on top of RealPlayer 10 while holding
down both  and Option (Apple Option) keys. RealPlayer is supposed
to be able to handle QuickTime files, it may even be able to open some
supported files that the current version of QuickTime will not open.
RealPlayer is available here:
https://order.real.com/pt/order.html?country=US&language=EN&mppi=0&mpposlist=0&mpst=0&ppath=cpmacpl060204a&pageregion=player_button&pcode=rn&opage=realh ome_spmac_bb&src=realhome_spmac_bb_0_1_1_0_0_20
( If the above link does not work, go to the front page, http://www.real.com/ , and select the blue button near the top right, " RealPlayer - Free " ).
If you are not able to open it with either of the two suggestions above, you can send me the file, and I will try to open it. I am almost sure that I can find a way to open it.
Hope this helps, take care.

Itunes or Quicktime does not open !!!

Ok I frist tried to upgrade my previous Itunes 6 to Itunes 7.0.1
Then after downloading and everything I try opening Itunes
Next I get the Lisciencing Page (agree-decline)
After that nothing happens ...
Itunes would just have its arrow pointing at it ... and I would have to force quit
Then I read I needed a higher version of Quicktime - So I beleive that the problem is the Quicktime ....
Download QT 7
From here the Quicktime does not even open anymore ....
Mess with a couple things install reinstall ... take the itunes recipt out of the library ad such but still does not work
So I decide to straight re install my Mac OS from the ground up ....
Back Up everything
Install everything ... download itunes 7.0.1 quicktime 7
It works ...
From here i decided to drop my music i saved on an external hard drive ...
Now whenever I try to open Itunes ... Itunes does the same thing from where I tried to fix ...
It Doesnt open just sits on the dock .... forcing to quit again ...
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHATS WRONG ...

What system software does your computer have?
Your info says 10.0.x, but that can't be true if you previously ran iTunes 6.
If you did an Erase and Install or an Archive and Install, you should not have problems when you're at least running OS X 10.3.9.
You may read Mac OS X 10.3.9, 10.4: Some Apple applications don't open to see if it applies to your situation.
Hope this helps.

Since these file types should be compatible with both QT 7 and QT X players (assuming the MPEG-4/AAC and/or H.264/AAC data was not encoded using a proprietary or hybrid codec and the files are properly terminated), either something is wrong with your computer or the file itself. Post or upload a sample file for examination.

QuickTime does not automatically open video clips when double clicked

Quicktime does not open video clips in iPhoto when the video clips are double clicked (nothing happens). Quicktime will open the video clip if I open quicktime
and ask it to open the video clip. Regular photos will expand as they should when they are double clicked.

It worked. I don't see why the Protected Mode is enabled in the first place, if it were to cause issues.
Anyways, thanks Sabian,

Quicktime 10.4 does not open at all in yosemite

Some aspects of you problem remain unclear. Are you saying that no "player window" opens, no "navigation window" opens, or the app itself does not open in the "Menu Bar" at all? Further, is the problem manifest itself globally or only in one user account? Nor is it clear if you are referring to the QT Player icon always being displayed in the dock or simply when/if the app is opened.
For instance, it is normal for a player window not to appear if no source media file was selected/opened via the finder. On the other hand, the failure of a navigation window or the app itself to open may indicate a system, app, or PLIST file (if still used) corruption problem. In the latter case, I would normally recommend switching to a secondary or guest user account to see if the problem is global or local to your primary account. If local, then you could either isolate/fix the local issue and fix it (e.g., locating and deleting an associated PLIST file if still used); create a new "primary" account, transfer required resources from the old to the new user account, and then delete the problem account; or simply re-install the entire system.
Unfortunately, under the latest version of Yosemite, the QT X Player is considered "essential" and the system, under normal circumstances, will not allow you to remove or delete the app any longer—probably because users in the past deleted the player on purpose or by accident on a wholesale basis and Apple does not provide downloads of the QT X Player independent of the operating systems with which they are associated forcing novice users to re-install their entire system or forcing more experienced users to re-extract the compatible player software for re-installation. Unfortunately, while it is still possible to re-extract the QT v10.4 Player from the installer package, the same system routines that prevent you from removing/deleting the player also prevent you from copying/replacing the current plater in the "Applications" folder.
Basically, what you should/can do depends on the specific nature of your problem and how well versed you are with the system.

Premiere elements 12 does not open

i have photoshop and premiere elements 12. the photoshop works fine, but the premiere does not open. when clicked on the hard drive spins for a short time but nothing opens. using windows 7.

etvicb
When you go to the Control Panel/Install Programs, is Premiere Elements 12 shown to be installed on the Windows 7 (assumed 64 bit) computer? After the program installation and restart of the computer, you should have gotten a Sign In dialog. You need to give you Adobe ID and password there for the program activation.
When you are trying to get the program to respond, are there error messages being deposited in the Event Viewer (Computer/Manage/Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Applications)? Have you checked for any error messages there?
If you look at the Notepad document for the Hosts File, does it look like this default representation
Path to the hosts file in Windows 7 64 bit is
Local Disk C
Windows
System32
drivers
etc
and in the etc Folder is the hosts file.
Right click on the hosts file followed by Open and select Notepad. This should
give you what you see in the screenshot above. If you see anything below the line
# ::1 localhosts
then we need to check that out.
The antivirus is the most likely candidate to look at in the troubleshooting scheme, but also
check out any firewall involvement as well.
Are you all set on permissions - Run As Administrator and User Account with Administrative Privileges? Is your Internet connection OK? Latest version of QuickTime installed?
Although Premiere Elements is not mentioned specifically in the following Adobe document, I have seen Adobe Staff make reference to it for Premiere Elements troubleshooting purposes, you may want to check it out
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
Please review the above and then we can decide what next and consider the benefits of getting Adobe involved in the issue, especially if you are within 30 days of purchase.
Looking forward to your follow up.

Clicking the scroll wheel does not open a new firefox window

I'm running Windows 7 x64 SP1. I use the scroll wheel to click items in the task bar to open another instance of those items. Eg I scroll-click a Firefox or Excel or Explorer or whatever item in the taskbar, and it opens another instance of that program. I use this feature to open a new instance of FireFox rather than switching to the FF window, then using control-n to open a new window.
I just upgraded to FireFox 6 from FF4.x. Since doing so, scroll-clicking the FF item in the taskbar does not open a new FF window. It does, well, nothing.
I installed FF6 on a clean Win7 x86 (RTM) build in a VM. When I use the scroll-click feature in the taskbar, it works as expected: it opens a new FF window.
Things I have tried: A different mouse; updating video drivers (I doubted this would make a difference, but it needed to be done anyway, so I thought I'd mention it); running FF in safe mode (ie with all plugins etc disabled).
I'm doing a little experimentation right now with respect to x86/x64, RTM/SP1, clean FF6/upgrade from 4.x and other differences that might highlight why it works as expected in my VM but not on my physical machine.
I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced this problem since upgrading to FF6.
Max

Respectfully, that answer isn't particularly helpful. I have already demonstrated that middle-clicking (mouse wheel click) will open a new instance of FF, and other programs. This was true before the upgrade from FF4 to FF6, and is true on all my VM builds (Windows 7 default install with nothing but FF installed).
Nevertheless, I've tried shift-left-click, and it does not open a new instance. It will only open a new instance if I pin FF to the taskbar, which I have already stated I do not want to do. This new behaviour is unique to FF. Other applications (Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, whatever) all behave as expected. It is only Firefox that is misbehaving, and it is only misbehaving since the upgrade.
My issue is that FF has changed its behaviour with respect to middle-clicking since upgrading from 4 to 6. I'd welcome helpful comments about getting FF to behave.
Max

Firefox previously worked fine but after installing new version does not open. Opens in the same day that I install it but not after restarting computer.

I just installed the new version of firefox. My firefox worked fine with the previous version. But the new version only works on the day I install it but the next time i start my computer it does not work. It does not open after clicking the icon. I even uninstalled it and then reinstalled it but again the same thing happened. I have no idea about plug ins etc. but I did not install any new ones.

This is a very interesting issue. Let's start with trying [[safe mode]], [[managing profiles|new profile]], and [http://firefox.com/all-older.html installing an older version] - if one of these works, please don't do the rest and reply here.

Mini Bridge does not open in InDesign after installing 8.0.2 upgrade

This question was previously posted in the InDesign forum (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5833991#5833991), but it was suggested that I should cross post it here.
I installed InDesign CS6 upgrade 8.0.2. Now I cannot open Mini Bridge.
If Bridge is not already open,
     - selecting File | Browse in Bridge... or clicking on the Bridge button: Bridge opens - good!
     - control-click on the Bridge button: I get a Reset Settings error dialog - NOT good! I cancelled this and Bridge opened fullscreen okay.
     - alt-click on the Bridge button: Two Bridge applications opened fullscreen! - NOT good!
     - shift-click on the Bridge button: Bridge opens, but Mini Bridge does not! - NOT good!
If Bridge is already open,
     - selecting File | Browse in Bridge... or clicking on the Bridge button: the ruler bars dim and nothing else happens! - NOT good!
     - control-click on the Bridge button: Bridge opens maximized! - good!
     - alt-click on the Bridge button: the already opened Bridge, plus a new Bridge, both open! - is this normal?
     - shift-click on the Bridge button: the ruler bars dim and Mini Bridge does not open! - NOT good!
I have tried resetting the preferences in Bridge and rebooted after doing so.
My main concern is that I cannot get Mini Bridge to open at all. I can ignore the other problems mentioned above, if I can just get Mini Bridge to open.
This problem does not exist in Photoshop CS6.
I have restored my C: drive from backup twice and tried the upgrade a total of three times. The results are the same each time.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing my problem and how I might correct it? I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1, 3.40 GHz Intel Core i7-3770 CPU, 32.0 GB installed memory.

Sorry to hear that, forgot to mention the resetting of preferences in InDesign.
Have you also tried that (ctrlAltShift while starting ID)?
I'm afraid I have not really more ideas and I am a Mac user and don't know anything relevant about Windows.
And ultimate you have of course the option to reinstall CS6 after an official uninstall in combination with the Adobe Clean Tool. But before doing so read all instructions and have a proper back up of all relevant customized settings, workspaces etc.

Quicktime will not open after upgrading to "Snow"

Quicktime will not open after upgrading to "Snow". The light underneath the dock icon lights up but the application does not open. Suggestions?

Actually, wasting bandwidth is a waste of people's resources who offer to help here. You posted and got answers to your post. What you thought of that would be better (for you) was posting it in every corner of AD that might get read would give you a response 30 nanoseconds faster than posting once. So read your answer and enjoy your computer.
All you need to do is post in the right forum section, and wait for a response. It will come unless nobody has a clue which rarely occurs.
