Quicktime Error 108 - unknown error has occurred when I use URL function

Quicktime version 7.1.5
Windows XP pro
Dell 8300 / Dell Latitude / HP system
In quicktime, if I try to input an address in
File: URL,
the error 108: unknown error has occured.
this happens on 4 machines, 3 Dell running XP and 1 HP machine running on XP as well.
Am I missing something or is there a plug in I am missing.
Driving me bananas.
Thanks for help.
Michael

hmmmm. are all the PCs on the same network?
if so, is there systemwide security software? if so, check to see if the QuickTime Player is being allowed access to the internet.

  • Error 108 (Unknown Error) When Attempting Export

    I purchased Quick Time Pro in November and successfully saved and exported some video for use with my IPod at that time.
    The next time I attempted the operation, I started getting this Error 108 message every time I hit the Export option.
    Anyone else had this problem or have any idea what system setting I may inadvertantly have changed to cause this?
      Windows XP  

    Sorry for all of the extra questions.
    My understanding:
    It used to work and now it doesn't?
    Have you tried using a different user account? Does
    it "work" again?
    Have you recently installed any different software or
    video codecs?
    I suspect a third party software conflict.
    That's okay...I appreciate the clear communication.
    Yes, I was able to save video from the web, export it and load it to my IPod on a couple of different occasions initially and then all of the sudden all I would get was the Error 108 message.
    I haven't tried using a different user account...do you mean a different Apple user account and how would I do that?
    The only thing I can think of is that I think I recently updated my Real Player and Rhapsody players but both programs were already on my system before the problem began.
    Isn't there a way to check for conflicts? I'm thinking the device manager or am I totally off here?

    urgh... just noticed my previous post said i have mountain lion... i meant that i have snow leopard.  no idea why i messed that up!
    anyway, i just tried reinstalling snow leopard from the usb key that came with the computer. Then, I installed software updates until it told me there were no more updates. After that, I tried the app store again, and it still is giving me the unknown error. really irked by that. may have to take it back to the apple store yet again, to see if i can figure out why the app store won't work.

    Hi ...
    Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
    If that doesn't help, drag the App Store icon straight up off your Dock so it goes, "poof".
    Now drag the App Store icon from your Applications folder to the Dock. Try updating your apps.

  • Error An unknown error has occurred when adding email to Apple ID

    I am trying to merge two Apple ID's into one. On one I changed the primary email address to an unused email address so I can take the former primary email address and add that email adress to the second Apple ID. When I try to add the email address that used to be the primary email address of the first Apple ID to the second Apple ID (either as a change to the main email address or add a secondary email address) I get the error "An unknown error has occurred." When I go back into the first Apple ID it will add that original email address as a primary or secondary account without any issues. But I get the same error if I try and add that original email address to any other Apple ID (I even tried adding it to a third Apple ID). It would appear that an email address used as an Apple ID cannot be used with any other Apple ID account. Is that correct?

    Apple’s having trouble with the Mac App Store and iTunes App Store right now. Try again later.

  • Why do I keep getting "an unknown error has occurred" when I try to update or add an app?  I have plenty of memory left.  Suggeestions?

    Why do I keep getting this message "an unknown error has occurred" when I try to update or load an app.  The issue is not space (memory) as I have 2/3 memory left to use.  Any suggestions?

    Hi ...
    Installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) reinstalls the App Store for you which may help. Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
    It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.7.3.
    If that doesn't help, if you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
    If you have an app called LIttle Snitch installed, that can prevent apps from updating.

  • I am getting "an unknown error has occurred" when trying to download any free apps from my brand new 4GS iPhone

    I am getting "an unknown error has occurred" when trying to download any free apps from my brand new 4S iPhone.
    Please Help!!

    I had the exact same problem.  Worked fine for a couple days then suddenly getting this error.  I fixed it, however. 
    Do this:
    Open the App Store app on your phone.
    Go to the "Featured" section.
    Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on your Apple ID.
    Screen pops up. Choose "Sign out".
    Scroll to the bottom of the "Featured" section again.
    Sign back in.
    Try your download again.
    This worked for me.  Good luck!

  • IBooks for IPad 2 Unknown  error has occurred when I try to download ?

    iBooks for IPad 2 Unknown error has occurred when I try to download ?
    Every time I try to download iBooks from AppStore it give me a unknown Error when it starts to load.  Has any one else ever had this problem and any way to fix this.
    Thanks

    Fixed!!--Same error issue, but I hadn't downloaded any apps that required syncing. New iPad2 this Wednesday (6/15/11). Per other suggestions on this forum I tried hooking up to the laptop (already had latest iTunes loaded before my iPad2 came), iTunes started up, went to Apple iStore, login, confirm payment, try to download 'iBooks' it says I already have it. Look at the iPad and it's there.
    This fix took all of 3-minutes and all is good. Now to learn to move things around. Newbie here  Thanks to the forum for tips on things to try. I need to go back through documentation to see why I had such a problem. Not exactly plug-n-play, but then again, I fighting the urge to 'right-click'.   Love the iPad2 so far. My first Apple-anything.

  • SharePoint 2013 - In document library, an unexpected error has occurred when a user clicks on ellipsis then "EDIT"

    Just as the title infers, I have a user who is experiencing an unexpected error when he clicks on "EDIT" after clicking on the ellipsis. Document in the Document library is an MS Word file.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that an unexpected error has occurred when a user clicks on ellipsis then "EDIT".
    Please make sure he has the edit permission.
    Please make sure the Office 2013 is installed correctly on his computer.
    In addition, I recommend to use another brower to check whether it works.
    If so and the error message persists, please check the SharePoint ULS log to find more information about this error, the ULS
    log file is in the location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
    You can check the ULS log by the methods here:
