Quicktime doesn't open

My PC runs Windows Vista (32 bit). Quicktime does not open when I click on the program or when I try to play a movie I took on my iPhone 4. I uninstalled quicktime then reinstalled the latest version. Anyone have any ideas what's up?

"export controller has stopped working."
Gosh, but it's been a long time since I saw that message reported. Sorry about the delay ... I've been having to go over old notes from about 18 months to two years ago.
Can you try something for me please?
In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
Open the "Program Files" folder.
Open the "QuickTime" folder.
Right-click the QuickTimePlayer.exe file and select "Run as Administrator".
Does it launch this time, or do you still get the error message?

Quicktime doesn't open AVI file with Perian installed

I have installed Perian but Quicktime X doesn't open AVI files for a week. I have repaired permissions. But Quicktime only plays the AVI file if I reboot the Mac. VLC always plays the file. The AVI codec is XVID. Quicktime doesn't play other formats such as FLV. I have deleted .plist files, com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist. I have found other files(com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.0GH3f31, com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.0h9MBzV...) that I deleted also. Any idea? Thanks

And now ... surprisingly I view AVI files in Quicktime without Perian.
QT has very limited AVI support (file type and a few older codecs) built in. Most common codecs use by Windows users, however, require the additional support provided by Perian. If the AVI files are now playing in QT without Perian, then simply check the Inspector, Properties, or Info window to see which codecs are in your AVI file and you should be able to tell if they are among those supported "natively" by QT. Also note that this regaining of the ability to play your files may indicate a component conflict of some sort may have existed previously.

QuickTime doesn't open up! Please Help!

i recently upgraded to lion, and accidently deleted quick time. I used the snow leopard disk to restore it, but now it doesn't work. Evey time I open it up i get this massage:
QuickTime Player cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure QuickTime Player works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
I tried using the software update but it says that all the software is up to date.
What should I do????

excellent information, sparkly.

... and the QuickTime Player not launching either (it's a "QuickTime has stopped working" error?).
With that combination, we need to check on some other application (apart from QuickTime itself) stashing old QuickTime componentry on the PC in an unorthodox location. (Codec packs and video converters are the usual suspects with that, although some games might do the same.)
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
*If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
*If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

I want to open a .MOV file, but QuickTime doesn t open it. What can I do?

I downloaded 6 files from WeTransfer, all of the are .mov. There is only one file which I cannot open with QuickTime, and it tells me that the type of file is not supported.

I downloaded 6 files from WeTransfer, all of the are .mov. There is only one file which I cannot open with QuickTime, and it tells me that the type of file is not supported.
The MOV file container is generic. This means it may contain any valid combination of compressed data that was compatible with the system on which it was originally created. Different versions of the QT players are programmed to play different combinations of compressed data if
the file is not corrupted,
the file container is compatible with the player,
the player is programmed to play the compressed data in that file container,
the data was compressed correctly, and
the codecs required for playback of the compressed data are installed and available to the player.
Based on what you've said, all we know for sure at this time is that the file container should be compatible with all QT players. This means the file could be corrupted or contain data that cannot be decoded for any of several reasons. In order to determine why it doesn't play, you would need to provide more information or post the file for analysis by others.

Quicktime doesn't open any video files (app loads, no video)

I've done my best to search for a solution, but I have come up with nothing.
Whenever I try to load any video files (.mov, .mp4, .avi, etc) Quicktime Player 10.1 opens, but no video file is displayed. Same results if I use the "open" command from within Quicktime. All of the videos play fine in VLC.
The only exception to this rule is when viewing a trailer on trailers.apple.com. If I "download" an HD trailer, Quicktime opens and begins to stream the trailer, however the ram runs away (8+gb instantly) and the computer starts chugging very badly.
In the old days I would have just reinstalled quicktime, however with how deeply it is integrated into Lion I am unsure of how to proceed (short of a clean install). Thanks in advance!

A previous poster with a Toshiba posted how he installed a generic driver. If I recall it was
Uninstall the graphics driver.
Remove the display driver from Device Manager.
Reboot declining prompts to install a driver.
Run the generic installer program.
I'll see if I can find the original post, I had it in my clipboard manager but that has the unfortunate habit of killing off its database every few months

Mov file created in iDVD, iMovie or Quicktime doesn't open anymore in 10.10

Hi,
Back when I had an iBook 10.4, I worked on video. Using iMovie and iDVD, I made some creations which I burned on a DVD as well as changed into .mov format.
Those days have gone. Later computers didn't have iDVD or iMovie anymore, or what was left was half the fun of what it was before.
The result is that it has been a long time since I worked with movies.
In the meantime I got a MacBook Pro and I have X Yosemite on it.
Now I'm finding those old projects again on an external hard drive that needs to be cleaned. But it's impossible to open them.
If I click on the iMovieProj-file it asks me to look in the App-store, but it can't find anything on there. If I select Choose Application, nothing works either. If I open iMovie in the applications folder, it has two things: a grey iMovie 9.0.9 folder which doesnt turn black, and a purple star that's also called iMovie 9.0.9. The purple star opens, but it can't open my iMovieproject files. Unsupported file formats.
All that was for the original imovie file itself. Now, for the .mov file that I created myself back in the days on my iBook with aplle software.
Those don't open either. Quick time can't open it (it says I need to install QT 7, but I already have QT 10.4; I clicked ok anyway and then QT quitted). VLC doesnt open it (it says VLC doesnt open the audio or videoformat dvau; unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this). Any Video Converter doesnt manage to convert it.
So, what can I do?????

Very odd. If you like, you can send me a short clip and I can test it on my end.

Why quicktime player doesn't open?

why QuickTime player 7 doesn't open?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. As far as I know this person has Quicktime of PC, since I have sent Homemade videos to him and several others in the past with no problem. Actually, I have sent this video to numerous people with PC and Macs. Macs no problem. So far, PC users are a mix of plays and no play. I am trying to verify why many people have not responded with any comment also. Something is not right.

I updated iTunes and now it doesn't open.

I updated iTunes a few days ago and now it doesn't open. It told me I needed to update quicktime and when I did that, quicktime didn't open either! So I reinstalled quicktime and it opened after a restart, not now.
Does anyone know what's up with this?

Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well,

HI GalaxieMusique,
I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess....

ITunes shows error message, QuickTime doesn't respond! PLEASE HELP!

My iTunes doesn't open anymore, it shows that error message (iTunes needs to close. Send error report... etc). I tried uninstalling it, installing gain from the iPod CD, from the website, and nothing works. On Apple's support site it said I needed to uninstall QuickTime and repair iTunes, but my computer won't let me uninstall Quick Time, it doesn't work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 100 times, I have restarted my computer too and nothing seems to work.
I don't use Norton, I use McAfee. I don't know what else to do, somebody please help me solve this problem, I have been trying to fix it for WEEKS!
Dell Inspiron Windows XP

IT WORKS!!!!!!
This is unblievable, but iTunes is working, and all I had to do was install it in a different folder! Now both QT and iTunes work fine, my library is intact and I can update my iPod!
The only weird thing is that all the files on the library that are on my iPod now have that exclamation point, meaning I have to look for them, but that's ok, cause they are still on my iPod even after updating!
Thank a lot Katrina! I won't annoy you anymore!

Itunes or quicktime will not open

I just purchased ipod and I downloaded itunes. at first it worked correctly, then it stopped opening and quicktime will not open either. I have tried re-installing numerous times to no avail. All the error message says unknown error send or don't send to MS. I am starting to get frustrated over this. It has taken up so much time. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME????

Hi Dave. Many thanks for your response. I uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime and then reinstalled them and now I can open iTunes. I now have another problem. The music that is on my iPhone that was imported from my iTunes prior to resetting my Mac seems to be unavailable for me to play. It doesn't show up on my iPhone when it's not connected. But when I connect it to my Mac all the songs show up under the music tab of my iPhone but they are all light grey and when I click one an exclamation mark appears next to it. I've tried authorizing my account but that doesn't do anything.
If you have any idea what the problem could be I would really gratefull.

Try following steps and test one at a time:

Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

ITunes doesn't open any more

My iTunes doesn't open any more all of a sudden, though Task Manager has listed it in "Processes". Quicktime and everything else works, though.
I've tried de-installing and re-installing serveral times.. Even older Versions (iTunes 10.5) won't work.
Can you tell me what to do?
Fyi: I'm using Windows 7 and iTunes version 10.7.
Thank you!
