Quicktime doesnt play

in my safari browser i try to play a quicktime movie off a website and it doesnt work. Ive tried a few sites that have quicktime movies a no luck. Any help would be great.

Hey guys,
I started a thread which I'm collapsing and joining this one. I did a little internet research and found an app that works as well as a dev link from apple.
VISUALHUB:
App that you have to purchase that converts to the proper format. You can watch a demo here on your iphone: http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/iphone.mp4
DEV LINK:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/designingcontent.html
This is a direct quote from their topics regarding quicktime for Iphone Safari:
iPhone streams movies and audio using HTTP over EDGE and Wi-Fi networks. To deliver the best web audio and video experience on iPhone:
Encode H.264/AAC at appropriate sizes and bit rates for EDGE and Wi-Fi networks. See “Encode Video for Wi-Fi and EDGE.”
Use reference movies so that iPhone automatically streams the best version of your content for the current network connection. See “Create a Reference Movie.”
Make sure the HTTP servers hosting your media files support byte-range requests. See “Configure Your Server.”
Follow current best practices for embedding movies in webpages.
Use poster JPEGs (not poster frames in a movie) to display a preview of your embedded movie in webpages. See “Embed Movies in Webpages.”
If your site has a custom media player, also provide direct links to the media files. iPhone users can follow these links to launch directly into playback.
Don’t bring up JavaScript alerts that ask users to download Flash. Flash isn’t supported and neither are downloads.
Don’t use JavaScript movie controls to play video on iPhone. iPhone supplies its own controls.
Encode Video for Wi-Fi and EDGE
You can use the QuickTime Player Pro Export command and the following exporters to prepare video content for iPhone:
The Movie to MPEG-4 exporter with the following settings prepares movies for Wi-Fi.
In the H.264 video options, make sure you restrict the encoder to use the Baseline profile, and select "Faster encode (Single-pass)" encoding in the Video Options dialog.
Video settings: 900 kbit/sec, H.264, 480 x 360; frame rate: current; preserve aspect ratio using: Fit within size
Audio settings: 128 kbit, AAC-LC
.mp4 file
The Movie to 3G exporter with the following settings prepares movies for EDGE.
Video settings: 64 kbit, H.264, 176 x 144; frame rate: 10 or 15; preserve aspect ratio using: Letterbox or Crop
Audio settings: 16 kbit, AAC-LC

  • New Quicktime doesnt play my AVI movies

    My .avi files worked on my old laptop, then I trade in for a new one, try to play my movies, and it doesnt work. Does anyone know any easy way to fix this. I have installed every plug-in i can find, and nothing. The files are fine, I can open them in a conversion program that converts them to other formats, but when i convert them, weird things happen, like theres no sound, or other things. HELP. Why would mac do this?

    Open one of the avi files in QT Player and check MovieInfo in the Window menu. Then use Google to search for a codec for that compression. You may need to find a universal codec that will work on both Intel or older PPC Macs.
    Or if all you want to do it play them (not transcode to other formats) then you may be able to play them with freeware: VLC

  • Quicktime not playing avi

    hi
    i'm using Lion (the latest version as downloaded in February 2012) and QUicktime doesnt play any .avi files. ever since i got my mac book pro a few weeks its never actually played avi files.
    any help??

    Download and install Perian from  http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page  http://perian.org/#support   in case you need to delete older codecs.  In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from  http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac

  • Dark Knight Digital Copy - Transfers but doesnt play

    Got my blu ray copy of Dark Knight and it came with a iTunes compatible digital copy.
    Used my code and synced to my iPod Nano. It shows up on the iPod but it doesnt play at all. On iTunes it plays without any sound or picture though......
    Any thoughts or advice?
    Thanks

    I have the same problem - no digital copies are playing (tried Hulk & all 3 X-Men) but other movies play fine including one with "the same" codec. Apple wasn't able to solve it (not "their problem"
    as other movies play fine), and Fox/Universal/Marvel just don't care as it's not happening to everyone. Best guess is it's a compatibility issue between certain systems/software. Yeah, I know, that's real helpful. I tried reloading latest iTunes/Quicktime/system updates & the movies - no effect. Tried erasing the "AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext" as suggested in another thread - no effect.
    Stuck now with a lot of motivation to pirate stuff rather than paying only to get nothing.

  • Quicktime audio playing up when I multitask

    Hey guys,
    When I use quicktime to listen to lectures and stuff I usually have it on full scree and I multitask with other programs running such as safari, word and finder etc. When I switch from quicktime to another program (either using command + tab, or swiping on my trackpad) the audio glitches. A few times it's just paused for a quick moment as if i've muted the sound, then continues playing. Lately it's been getting worse, and it makes a static noise, or it just doesnt play the audio at all, but the video is still playing.
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Sorry Ralph,
    It didn't solve the problem.
    What's happens is when I go onto a coca cola site I enter my email and password. The process shows it is working and nothing happens, just keeps on trying.
    When I logged into my internet provider to delete my emails nothing comes up. Had to use another galaxy tablet which worked, no problems..
    Next I enter completions where you have multy choice answer and you pick one and same with the rest of the question and all the iPad does is revert back to the in completed form.
    Sorry it is so long winded I've got the latest updates on my iPad Air tried resetting it, cleaned out the cookies etc.
    Thanks

  • My ipod doesnt play sound on Videos

    I have recently purchased the 80GB Ipod video,and I uploaded many videos but it doesnt play the sound.Could any one help me on this?

    Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

    "I tried to change the settings in Quicktime Preferences in the streaming tab but it didn't change anything. Still getting the same problem."
    What changes did you do & did you restart your computer afterwards?
    Have you tried a different browser?
    Download the video & then view the Keynote. See if you experience the same issue.

  • Recently got a new iphone but when i tried to sync it with my itunes, all my music appeared with a cloud beside it and doesnt play. Do i have to download each individual track by clicking on each cloud or is there an easier way? I have over 1000 songs!!!!

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • Why does the new Quicktime NOT play my old MOV files?

    Hi Folks.
    I'm using the lasted updated Yosemite on a 3-year old iMac.
    Back in my early iMac days (3 years ago), I imported my camcorder's AVCHD files
    into iMove or Final Cut Express and converted them to Quicktime MOV files.
    Turns out they were rendered by Apple or Final Cut into MOV files using the
    Apple Intermediate codec.  I had no choice over this.
    Until I upgraded to Yosemite, I was able to preview any of these movies
    very easily in the Finder.  Simply highlight the movie, press the spacebar,
    and it opens, in a real-time, real-size screen, with a simple play-pause button
    in the progress bar at the bottom.  Never had a problem with any previous
    Mac OS.
    Now when I click on the file in the finder, instead of a movie preview, I get a
    big, silent QT "Mov" icon that just sits there looking silly.
    I double click it to open it up in Quicktime, and it attempts to go through this
    lengthy conversion process, taking at least as long as the movie is in minutes,
    then asking me if I want to save this new "converted" version.
    Fortunately, I have an old version of Quicktime 7 on my Mac, and QT 7 opens it
    and plays it no problem.  No "conversion" necessary.  No cumbersome and
    space-hogging needs to create a "cloned" copy, just so the new, lame version
    of Quicktime can play it.
    What's up, Apple?  AIC was YOUR codec that YOUR SOFTWARE chose to
    transcode into.  Now, your new Quicktime does NOT support this codec?
    And your old version does?  And why might THAT be?
    Really, this is so elementary.  This is not rocket science.  Just like JPG images
    not displaying properly in Mac Mail now.  It begs the question "why" ...?
    I mean, for the elementary preview abilities that always made Mac such a
    friendly computer ... *uh* ... where is that?
    And here we go, wasting hours of time, looking for fixes that should not
    have to be "fixed"...
    Did I miss something?  Or did you?

    Aeclay: here's a couple of ideas.  And an answer to your earlier post.
    Basically two options to work with here:
    Store the files as native AVCHD files... OR
    Convert the files to Quicktime
    I keep two archives of my AVCHD recordings, partly for backup, and partly for Sony's ability to archive nicely in it's own native format on it's PC-friendly utility called "PMB".  (came wtih both my NEX and ALPHA cameras).   I have an old PC that I use for my complete archive; Sony's PMB utility works only on PC's and will do a good job both of archiving, providing a thumbnail database, and re-writing your choice to removable media in it's typical Sony hierarchy.
    If you've only got Mac's, you can still archive your AVCHD recordings; copy them to folders named or organized to your own spec's.   AVCHD is a high-quality compression format, and they'll take up way less disk space than converted Quicktime MOV files.   You can open and play all AVCHD movies quite easily with VLC player.
    The only extra trick to be aware of here is this.  The only reason you would need to preserve the intact "sony" folders (named "AVCHD" / "BMDV" etc) is is you were using Adobe Premiere as a video editor.  Somehow, it needs the hierarchical folder stuff in place to properly index the files.  Not mandatory, but helpful if  you are a Premiere user.  Otherwise, forget the weird "package" folders; just right-click (ctrl-click) on them, choose "view package contents" and MOVE the MTS files out of the Sony hierarchy for permanent storage.  Use VLC player to open and view them.
    From that point on,  you have control over how you manage the files and what intermediate or end-user format you convert them to for your own use.
    I'm not clear on your other question about the files that add the word "converted" on.  Of course Mac will convert to Quicktime MOV files.  Not sure what codec they're using now, likely H.264.  Anyway, don't bother converting.  It'll take up a lot of time and waste a lot of disk space.
    ps. I just found this free utility on the internet.  It's called "MTS CONVERTER". I have not tried it, but it claims to be able to convert all AVCHD files to various useable formats.
    Good luck!  (and happy Valentine's Day!)

    You say your phone will not sync but then you say, "when it does sync."
    Does it sync or not? Did you remember to select music to sync onto your phone before clicking on Apply or Sync?
    You do have to have iTunes on your computer in order to sync your phone. And your music must be in iTunes.

    Go to Adobe.com........
    If you can see their site...it about 99.9%, you have the flash plug-in...But, for lack of doing anything else... re-install the flash plug-in...At one point in installing the plug-in, make sure you close out all bowsers.....
