Quicktime Doesn't Show Me Web Page Movie Content

I need help setting preferences (if that's the problem) in Quicktime. I can't see movies on a lot of websites. On one site in particular, I know the webmaster and he says he knows it's running fine. Something is up with my QuickTime. It's never worked. Any help?
For example, the above mentioned site is:
http://www.edswurld.com/index.html
I can see the movie "Behold! The Pool Shot Take Two!" (it's preceeded by a big blue Q) but I can't see the movie "Pool Shot. Take One!" (a little blue lego with a question mark on it appears). This is not a pro site, but this problem occurs on pro and personal sites for me.
Thanks for your help!

Heather, welcome to these discussions.
The reason you can't view "Pool Shot. Take One" using your Tiger Mac is because the video uses Windows Media Player format (maybe not installed on your machine.)
Download WMP from the Microsoft Site. You'll also need Stuffit Expander (not included on a Tiger Mac) to "unstuff" the downloaded .sit file.
They should also work on reducing the "background" .mp3 file to a more Web page friendly size.
Your Mac is doing just as it should. Maybe they could make a better Web page (including notices about file formats and download links) for the media files.

Quicktime doesn´t work in web pages

I have quick time pro. It was working fine but since a couple of days ago every time I open a web page, instead of seeing images I see the quick time logo with a question mark on top of it. Any advice?
THANK YOU

IWeb Doesn't show the web page!

When i open up iWeb it wont show the template that i choose... Plz help me... thanks

What does it show? A new page or a request to pick a theme and page, i.e. as if you're creating a new site from scratch?
Try the following:
close iWeb.
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
reboot.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Google browser and others show all web page on netbook but firefox wont i have to scrool why can i change settings on firefos to help this problem

all other web browsers when i use on my net book show full web page but with Firefox i have to scroll side ways cant see full width of page sometimes Firefox will show full page but this is not often are the settings in Firefox to help this problem i have the latest version of Firefox 4.0.1

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

In Safari on my iMac where parts a foreign site are showing on web pages I bring up.

I have a problem with Safari on my iMac where parts of a foreign site are showing on web pages I bring up. I also run Firefox on the same computer with no such problem. Two malware programs have not found any problem that is relevant to or resolves the issue. Failing any other course that may fix this I am wondering if it is possible to replace Safari. Is there any way to do this? I have recently installed Yosemite, but I doubt that has any relevance.

Please understand, I am no geek. I am not wanting to change my default browser. My question may have been a little vague but what I wanted to know was whether (failing everything else) it was possible to delete Safari altogether and then reinstall a new one (Safari) somehow. I would think that may well get rid of the problem when it isn't a factor at all when I switch to using Firefox (which is also installed on my Mac). As for the AdBlock, I'd prefer to avoid that if possible.

Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in?

Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox, at least with the few pages I've checked. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in? I recently had to restore my system from Time Machine backup.

The following appears to have I solved my problem with Safari 5.1.5, 5.1.6 and 5.1.7. I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed.
Follow mbuffy's post dated May 10, 2012 directly above, and
Do NOT allow Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to perform the "repair" the missing Adobe PDFViewer Plug-in when the window pops up and offers to repair Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plug-in. If Adobe does the "repair," then I can not view .pdf web pages in Safari or Firefox.
FYI, cmmartin0275 posted the following on Sep 8, 2011 in a discussion of "Missing PDF Pluggin" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/16119130#16119130:
"Just FYI to anyone with this problem...this is straight from Adobe's website.
"Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1."
They also go on to say they hope to have a solution or work around before the end of 2011..."
Thanks for the help.

Since updating to OS7 the video app doesn't show any titles for movies I have downloaded on my iPad. Anyone have the same problem or a fix?

Since updating to OS7 the video app doesn't show any titles for movies I have downloaded on my iPad. Anyone have the same problem or a fix?

Many users have solved the problem by syncing several times; and if that doesn't work, perform a simple restore. Your titles will come back.

Upload slide show to web page

I would like to add my Elements 7.0 slideshow to my web page at Microsoft Live. How do I do this? Sorry if I missed previous thread on this topic, surely it has been asked about before, but I searched and could not find it. Thanks!

Ruth:
You could create a file that has a black background and has the movie embedded in it. Since you have Dreamweaver create a new movie.html file, set the body background to black, add enough breaks to get it down the page a little then embed and center it. Then link to the movie.html page.
The code in the Movie.html page would be like the following. Change the width and height dimensions to match your movie. I've added spaces after and/or before some of the < and > in several tags so the code would show as code. Check and eliminate those spaces.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

Now just link to Movie.html in your other page or where ever. NOTE: the movie and html files must be in the same location.

From field doesn't show in web mail inbox

Okay, I've searched the preferences page and the FAQs. It's driving me crazy that when I access my web mail that all I see is the 'To' field and have to guess about who the emails are from. I'd insert a screenshot if I could because in all the pictures I've found online the 'From' field shows so I Really don't understand why it doesn't show up for me. Instead of 'From' I get 'To' which is pretty useless since all of the emails in my Inbox are to me. I suspect people aren't going to believe me so let me give further description- when I first log in and click on my mail I see the flagged column, the status column, the "To" column, the "Subject" column, the "Date" column, the attachment column and the action column. This is for my Inbox. Nowhere do I see the "From" column. Pretty useless. Very frustrating.
Please help?
Many thanks.

Embed Quicktime export with hyperlinks in web page

I've got a project I exported from Keynote with hyperlinks -- forward, back, return to menu, etc.
The links work fine in the Quicktime export playing in the player. They work fine if I open the file directly in a web browser.
If I embed the file in a web page, however, the link functionality goes away, and it ends up as a 'click-to-advance' movie. Does anyone know if there's a parameter I need to include in the embed code to enable hyperlinks? I couldn't find any likely candidates in Apple's official list...

My apologies; something must have gone wrong with my export. Tried again, and it works fine!

Flash Controls Not Showing On Web Page

Hi-
Been beating my head lately using Flash Pro 8 and DW 8.02.
Here is the latest difficulty:
Created a Flash video file in Premiere Elements 4
Imported the .flv Flash video file into Flash 8 using import
video
Added an external skin to the video
Saved Flash .fla file
Exported movie in .swf format
I can open the .swf file in Flash Player 8 and it works fine.
I can also use the Publish setting in Flash to export the necessary
files as well as the HTML file. When viewed in either Firefox or IE
it plays correctly and the player controls are present. However, if
I create a new page in DW8 and then Insert > Media > Flash,
point it to the .swf file and then view it in Firefox or IE I can
only see the .flv Flash video file and none of the controls/skin
that should be there. I know the controls/skin are actually present
because I can browse directly to the .swf file and it displays
works properly. I can also use the publish settings from Flash to
create the HTML page and it works correctly as well. It is only
when the page is generated by DW8 that I get this problem. I have
looked at the code created by DW8 and cannot find any reference to
the .swf file for the movie controls/skin. Any idea why DW8 would
only be placing the Flash video .flv file on the page and not
writing the code to place the entire Flash movie .swf on the page?
I have tried restarting/rebooting, created a new "clean" test page
with only the Flash movie on it and it is always the same. The
other thing that is weird is I did not select Autoplay or Loop in
the DW8 settings nor in Flash 8, yet when I preview the page
created by DW8 in a browser, piece of the Flash movie I can see
(the Flash video part) autoplays and loops!
Again, any help is appreciated.
-=SB

Update- This is what I have discovered while playing around
with the page and Flash file:
If I create the .swf files for the movie and skin and then
save them to the same directory as the .Flash video file and then
view the .swf file everything works fine.
If I then create a web page using DW8 and insert the Flash
into the page and save the web page to the exact same directory as
all the other files and then view the web page in a browser, it
works fine. However, if I create a new web page in DW8, save it to
any other directory other than the one where the .swf and .flv
files are located and then view the page in a browser only the .flv
Flash video portion of the movie will display in the browser--the
controls are missing. However, if I browse directly to the .swf
file and avoid going through the DW8 generated web page the Flash
movie displays properly with the controls in the correct location.
My question then is why will DW8 not show the Flash movie with
controls if the page is located in higher level directory than the
.swf and .flv files and yet browsing directly to the .swf file with
my browser works just fine? I have checked the path to the .swf
file in the DW8 source code and it is pointing to the correct
directory location. This is so strange--why will it display one way
and not the other? Any ideas?

Only safari doesn't show the home page image - why?

Hello
Wonder why the home page image/masthead doesn't show on the home page, ONLY in Safari/mac - every other browser shows it. Would love a fix.
Thoughts?
thank you
KB
http://www.truthandlife.info

Thanks very much for the thoughts - I redid that alternate masthead for ie5.5 and updated the link - yes, now the ALTERNATE banner shows but NOT the image I need, which does still show in other browsers. Only in Safari does the alternate masthead now show, but not the main masthead needed.
Below is the code that directs the image for ie 5.5 but why would this affect Safari?
=============
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
public partial class DefaultPage : BasePage
protected void Page_LoadComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (!IsCallback)
// IE 5.5 isn't able to render the dynamic menu items correctly if
// the size of the header image is too large. To work around this problem,
// IE 5.5 gets a different header image than the other browsers.
if (Request.Browser.Id == "ie55")
mastheadImg.ImageUrl = String.Format("~/Images/homepage/masthead9.jpg", Page.Theme != null ? Page.Theme : Page.StyleSheetTheme);
mastheadImg.Height = 206;
litHeaderHeight.Text = "206px";
===============
Also, here's the code that fixed the Safari fly out menu problem but has caused Safari to not show the proper masthead/image. Any thoughts?
=====================
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

public class BasePage : Page
public BasePage()
protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e)
base.OnPreInit(e);
if (this.Request.ServerVariables["httpuseragent"].ToLower().Contains("safari"))
Page.ClientTarget = "uplevel";

Mandatory Variable set in a view doesn't show in Web template ?

Hi Experts,
I have a mandatory user-input variable in my query. I build a view based on the query. When I opened the query analyzer I had to select a value for my variable since it is mandatory. I did so and built my view. I based my BI web template on my view. When i execute the template the variable screen doesn't show, the value of my variable is the one I entered when I built the view and there is no way i can change this value from the Web template. Is this expected behaviour ? If so how can i build a view when i have a mandatory variable withoit setting its value in the analyzer ? The user has to set it later in the BI template.
Thanks a lot
Rado

Thanks for the reply.
Actually the variable has a default value which is defined in a function. This default can be overriden. The problem is that when defining the view you need to specify a value or leave the default. In any case in Web Template you are not given the option of changing whatever you put in the query analyzer. i am puzzled how this could happen.

Safari, when I hover over a link, doesn't show the web address, +Hotmail qu

Hi, two questions.
New to safari, when I hover over a link it doesn't display the web address, is there a way to turn this on or is it not available in Safari.
In regard to Hotmail, is there a way to synch up Hotmail with Mail in leopard so that when I click an email address it allows me to send via hotmail.
If not, how do you find out the email address, because when I click it, just takes me to mail and doesn't allow me to at least view what the email address is, so I can manually send it via Hotmail.
Thanks for your time.

New to safari, when I hover over a link it doesn't display the web address, is there a way to turn this on or is it not available in Safari.
Choose Show Status Bar from the View menu.
In regard to Hotmail, is there a way to synch up Hotmail with Mail in leopard so that when I click an email address it allows me to send via hotmail.
Try using httpmail.

Quicktime and question marks on web pages

Any time I went to a web page that had a QT in it, it was fine. Now when I go to a webpage I see the QT logo with a question mark in it. What happened!
Thanks in advance

Regardless of what 'happened', Quicktime with a ? refers to Flash video. No idea why this question seems to get asked several times a day, by which I mean why is it suddenly happening to a lot of users. To rectify it, try this:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
