Quicktime don't play quicktime content on the internet.

I just updated to 10.5 and now I can't play any quicktime content on the internet. I can play the quicktime movies on my computer but I can't play it in any web browser. What is up. How do I install the plug-in if thats what is wrong.

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!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, 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 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
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 should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
See also the very informative post from QuickTimeKirk dated Dec 3, 2007 in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1268489&tstart=0
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). 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/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook

    I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook.
    When using Sarfari or Google Chome, I am unable to play some videos on the internet. News clips, posted videos on blogs, and tv episodes from their own network websites. Youtube videos are fine. I doesn't make sense.
    I tried downloading an update for quicktime, but the computer claims that quicktime is up to date. Yet, the videos and tv episodes don't play.
    I have checked for the most recent software updates, and everything is up to date. Nothing is wrong with the hardware either.
    Any suggestions would be awesome! Thank you!

    In addition to Flash, you might need some other plugins.  Microsoft videos are mostly in Silverlight, and you'll want Flip4Mac to play WMVs.  Perian contains codecs for pretty much every video online.

  • I cannot play any Quicktime movies on the Internet Explorer. What can I do?

    Hi, I always check in the movie trailer page on apple to enjoy some movie trailers, but, since a time ago, I cannot see any movie trailer on the internet explorer, when I got into the movie's trailer, it show a white question mark (?) above the Quicktime simbol (Q)and the trailer won't show, I uninstalled and reinstalled again the quicktime 7, but I still cannot see anything.
    Can anyone help me to solve this??? There are now like a thousand trailer I haven't see because of this!! lol
    Thanks,

    I've posted this elsewhere, but I wasn't sure how to link your question to the other one....
    I had the exact same problem and came across some instructions that helped me, so you might give these a try yourself:
    1) open QuickTime Preferences
    2) click the Browser tab
    3) click the MIME Settings
    4) select Miscellaneous - Miscellaneous file formats
    5) uncheck Flash media (if it's already unchecked, then click the Use Defaults button at the bottom)
    If that still doesn't fix the problem, continue with this:
    1) within QuickTime Preferences, click the File Types tab
    2) select Misceelaneous - Miscellaneous file formats
    3) uncheck Flash media (or Use Defaults button if necessary)
    For some reason, these two lists aren't linked to each other. So when you change one, it won't change the other automatically. There might be a feature to link the two, but I'm not aware of it at this time.
    Also, be sure you have the latest Macromedia Flash Player (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash)
    Hope this helps!

  • Can I start playing encrypted content in the middle?

    I have encrypted several contents using the methods SDK provided. But when I start playing the encrypted content(in f4v and flv format both), I found a problem. That is I can only play the video from the very beginning.Is there a way to play whatever part I want?

    Thank you almost, I am confused that how can I seek the playing video with my browser like youtube. I found that I can only play the downloaded part and I must wait the browser to download the video slowly, Is there a way to solve that problem? Maybe it likes that when I seek a moment to play, then the browser send a new request to the server, and start to download from that moment.
    Thanks.

  • Is it possible to use airtunes to play music streamed via the internet?

    I have recently set up my Mac so I can play music from iTunes through my stereo in my lounge using Airtunes.
    I would like to be able to play music via Airtunes when streaming it over the internet (eg BBC iPlayer or an internet radio station).
    Is there a way this can be done?

    I don't have airtunes so I am speaking from a theory perspective. It looks like airtunes works with itunes and I know many streaming stations can also be played through itunes so I would think it could be done at least to some extent. You might have to save a link to the stream and then open the link file in itunes to get it to add it to your list (I have done this with a streaming station).
    For other stations I don't know if you could select airtunes as a sound output option for general computer sound output in the sound control panel.

  • Won't play sound when on the internet

    Just recently my HP 2000 Notebook PC will not play sound that comes from the internet. When i play music or DVD's on my computer I can hear them perfectly. The minute I get on the internet to watch a video or a movie or even video chat I can't hear any sound. I've tried resetting the computer to see if maybe that helped but it didn't. Also, when you go to the control panel to test the speakers they work fine. Also, when I plug in my headphones the sound won't play through those either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Time Capsule don't connect alarm system to the internet by UDP ports

    I have installed an Airport Time Capsule and connected to the ethernet port an Joblatron Alarm system.
    The alarm systems gets a IP-adres(reserved by DHCP reservation ip:192.168.1.110) from the Time Capsule Buth doesn't connect to the internet. When i send a ping to the ip adres 1 get a ping result so there is an connection between Time Capsule and alarm system.
    After communication with the service desk from the alarm system i have forwarde the next UDP ports: 7070, 8080,8081,8082,8083,8084,8085,8086,8087,8088,8089. The alarm system must make connetion with the server from jablotron(gsmlink.cz) and send my ip-adres to the server. From this site I can make connection to my alarm system and managed it.
    What can I do to fixing this problem?

    I don't see anything wrong with the setup. This is just typical apple being difficult.
    Are all names SMB standard.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Do not use apple naming.
    What model TC and what firmware are you running??
    I strongly recommend earlier firmware. 7.6.1 for later Gen4 and 7.5.2 for earlier ones.
    No luck it is much easier to bridge out the TC and use a standard router that has real controls.. and use that. TC can still do wireless and network backups for your Mac.. but it is hopeless when you mix in other brands.

    I recently sync'd my computer to the apple TV and I can clearly see my library and al my shows on TV. But when I press play to view them It doesnt play unless I  fast forward and then I can see the content but Forwraded.

  • Posting Original Content on the Internet

    Hey Everyone. Thanks in advance for you help. I've recorded some songs using GarageBand and want to make them available on a very simplistic website. I'm talking just a quicktime file and nothing else. I've seen this done before so I know it has to be possible. However, I have no idea how to go about doing this. I'll have to register a domain name obviously, but what software will I need? Am I still exporting to iTunes or can I upload directly from GB? Convenience, cost, and simplicity are important factors. If there is a better forum for this question, maybe you could point me in the right direction. Thanks again.

    You more then likely all ready have web space. Most isp's include space on there servers for there customers. Just use a simple FTP client like RBrowser and upload the files. You could also use iweb or NVU to make a quick webpage.

  • I just upgraded to firefox 4 and it won't play any videos on the internet. Is there a fix for this or how can I go back to the previous version.

    my firefox 4 wont play any videos. adobe flash player says its not compatible with this arcitecture. Did anyone bother to test this before releasing it.

    I appreciate you taking the time to respond, but I don't want to uninstall my persona. I want to uninstall FireFox 4. I love my persona.
    It really bugs the crap out of me when FireFox sends these upgrades around and I click "yes" to install them then my entire desktop stops working.
    Is it always necessary for their upgrades to render the add-ons that people develop useless?

    Hello milanidada,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are receiving a “Blocked plug-in” alert on your Mac while attempting to view video online. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and using the information in the attached article to update to a later version of Adobe Flash Player.

  • Does Cloud or local version play when conencted to the Internet?

    I am considering subscribing to Match and wonder how it deals with music I have ripped from a CD at a bit rate of 128 in former day when local device storage was more of an issue. If I am connected to the net will the song play from the cloud at 256 even though there is a local copy on the device? Do the satus icons show me which matched songs actually have higher quality copies in the cloud that I could download for improved playback quality when offline? In other words, can Match help me systematically improve the quality of my local music collection?
    Herb

    when you turn itunes match on a device (iphone, ipad, ipod touch) it cannot have any music synced to it so the song u would be playing would be streaming or downloading would come from the cloud, on your computer your local version will play, you can however delete your original and it will grey out and leave a cloud icon allowing you to download the matched version or re download your uploaded one, so u can upgrade your library, but be wary sometimes an album wont be fully matched like 12/15 tracks matched even though they are all in the itunes store, so that may be an issue, also listen to the track before you replace it, i made the mistake of replacing a bulk of my music before i did and i ended up with clean/different versions of my songs and my original was gone

  • Firefox is crashing all of the time in the last 3 days. I can't open a single web site even Google. Please, fix that issue because I don't want to switch to the Internet Explorer!!!

    The graphic is partially shown. You can see only text and you can't orient yourself.

    It's interesting that I can open all these web sites with Internet Explorer without any problems!!!
