Quicktime Does Not Work...Striped yellow/black bar or Q with ?

Hi, I have read the previous posts about similar problems with quicktime but the posted fixes have not resolved my issue. I have three computers. Quicktime quit working on two of them. Before upgrading to the latest version, I got the yellow/black striped bar when quicktime tried to open. Now I get the Q with the ?. I've checked my settings and even reselected the "default" settings several times but to no avail. As to the "system preferences and deselecting quicktime with flash" input, I have been unable to locate this setting (at least as described). I have upgraded my flash as well. All three computers supposedly have the same settings.
Sometimes I receive a popup indicating additional quicktime software/plugins are required to run the media and asking if I want to get the necessary files. When I click, "yes," it takes me to the quicktime plugin page, but does not tell me what is needed.
How do I fix this problem? Here is the link to the site in question today: http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/index/1,21581,5015022,00.html

The site posted is using Adobe Flash Player 9. The QT version on the computer only supports version's of Macromedia Flash Player 5. Open the QT control panel, go to Browser tab, Mime Settings, and uncheck Flash media, listed under Misc.Misc. file formats. Or refer too:http://kb.mozillazine.org/Quicktime
Or update QT to 7.3.1.70

HT201335 when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue?

when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue? My son's Ipad(same as kind as mine) works ok with the apple tv but mine does not. Any suggestions?

Hello Nina Izurin,
While written for the iPhone, the troubleshooting below can help resolve issues with your iPad's camera, as well.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Why does quicktime does not work on os lio

why quicktime x does not work on OS Lion

QuickTime does work under 10.7, however you may want to check that you're opening the newest copy of it by going to your Applications folder and opening it from there.
If you keep having trouble with opening it, please let us know what error you might be getting. QuickTime X will open with just a menu bar, then you can go to the file menu and choose to open any file you wanted to open, or choose one of the screen or audio recording options.

How do I get a virtual lab to play,quicktime does not work with this CD,I have quicktime on other computers works fine with this CD. Technician said Cd could

How do I get a virtual lab to work on this computer. The technician said the CD is not compatible. Maybe corrupt. He seemed he did not know
what he was talking about. I asked him was it any software I could download he said no. This CD works fine on my other computer, no it is not an apple computer. And I use quicktime on both computers. But on this apple computer quicktime does not play this CD, which this type
of CD works better with quicktime. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem. This is a new computer, I would hate to think their is nothing that can be done.

I need step by step instructions on how to get my virtual lab cd to work. The technician said cd not compatible or is corrupt. I do not believe their is nothing that can be done. When I put the cd in the side slot nothing comes up on the screen. I have tried several ways, the technician did not seem very knowledgeable on what to do. Also this cd plays fine on my other computer which is not an apple computer. Is there anything I can do to correct this?

Enter key does not work anymore in address bar after FF update

After the update the Enter key does not work anymore. Neither when I type the url directly, nor when I select it from the history.
In short FF has become unusable. Now I need to install and use a less crappy browser. Extremely sloppy, amateuristic update.

see if this is helpful : go to Tool > Options > Advanced > General tab > Browsing and '''Uncheck''': "Use hardware acceleration when available" .

My quicktime does not work at all on my iMac with Lion

When I click the quicktime icon it does not open up at all. Quicktime has never worked since the day I bought the computer which was a few weeks ago. Is there a fix to this problem?

Your warranty includes 90 days of phone support. Call AppleCare.

The Enter Key does not work in the location bar; I have to manually select the "Go To" icon since upgrading to Version 10.

I just upgraded to Firefox 10. When I manually enter a URL into the location bar, the "Go To" arrow does not have focus, so the Enter Key will not work. I have to manually select the "Go To" arrow to navigate. Any suggestions?

This could be the AVG safe search extension. If you have that installed, try disabling it. Instructions here: [[Using extensions with Firefox#w_how-to-disable-or-remove-extensions]]

Firefox feedback section does not work in firefox 6 or other browsers with a more sane update schedule

I tried to post this in the feed back section but it does not appear to be working in firefox version 6.
I have been working with computers for 30 Years, used Firefox since version 1.0 recommended it through websites that I develop and for people that I work with - I am afraid that will be coming to an end unless you guys stop the nonsense.
I do not like how you assume I want a new version very 6 weeks.
There is no clear documentation of the changes for each release. I Do not have time for this – it should be simple – it’s not -
There is no way to know why my add-ons are disabled with every update. And I have a basic vanilla system with a Java Console Broken, Kaspersky URL Advisor – Broken – vendors are going to stop supporting the Firefox browser if you break their code every time there is an update – and if I was them I would – this is the second time this has been broken in 6-months.
WTF - Can't you guys just write a patch or fix a security problem without a version change and breaking everything? I want stable and secure - that appears to have stopped with Firefox version 3.6
I know it’s free but there is a ton of free software I choose not to run because it is crap -

<< I Tried to post it through this link -

There was no visual clue that it took the feedback - just sat on the screen with my information in the text box. >>
The same thing happens with me.

[SOLVED] OSCDIMG Tool Does Not Work on Windows 10? ReadFile() fails with error code 87. (The parameter is incorrect) on ReFS Storage Space Mirror

Hello,
What could be the reason of OSCDIMG premastering tool not working in Windows 10?
I'm trying to rebuild ISO from the admin setup point and having problems with OSCDIMG failing to read files from the master folder:
E:\Images>bin\oscdimg.exe -bootdata:2#p0,e,b"D:\ISOFOLDER\boot\etfsboot.com"#pEF,e,b"D:\ISOFOLDER\efi\Microsoft\boot\efisys.bin" -o -h -m -u2 -udfver102 -lwinsetup D:\ISOFOLDER test.iso

Thank you.

Figured it myself.
For some reason, the tool does NOT support source locations on ReFS formatted drives. Move the D:\ISOFOLDER location to NTFS formatted drive, and the tool works flawless:

Quicktime does not work in firefox 24 in windows 8 desktop mode

I am running Firefox 24 on Windows 8 Pro 64-bit in desktop mode. I have QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.4 installed. But when I try to go http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/ and play trailers all I get is black box and nothing is playing. No prompting to authorize a plugin, no error message, nothing. I tried to see if it will work with other browsers, so I tried Google Chrome. I went to the website, got prompted to authorize the plugin and then was able to play trailers without any problems. The page won't even render correctly under IE. So, it makes me conclude that it is a browser problem. Can you help me please? Thanks.

Is his in a normal tab or in a private tab?
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

QuickTime does not work

I have QuickTime 7.4.1 running on my G3 OS Panther and on my iMac OS Tiger.
Whenever it plays a movie on the Ge all I get is the sound and no picture.
On my iMac OS Tiger it runs ok.
I once installed Flip for Mac but deleted it. I searched for Flip for mac on my G3 and could not find any references to it except for some:
flip.jpg, flipbtn.gif, Flippers.tif.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi Frank,
Try going to your HD/Library Folder/Internet Plugins and see if you have a QuickTime Plugin.webplugin folder there. If so, move this folder to the desktop. Try playing a QuickTime movie again and see if the video plays now. If not you can move this folder back to the Internet Plugins folder.
For future reference, questions concerning QuickTime can be placed in the QuickTime for Mac OS where there are many knowledgable users of the application there.
post back with any results,
