Quicktime is not playing my vids from my GoPro helmet cam

I have recently bought a GoPro helmet camera to use for skiing/ biking, etc. When connecting them to the computer to play them back they have stopped working and my computer says the files are not video files. However at the start when i first began uploading them there was no problem. Why would they suddenly stop working. The video. have been shot at 1080 and 980 at 30fps and 60fps at 720p.

You didn't say which camera you have...? Some cameras use MJPEP and others use MP4 for a format/codec.
Try this first... Go to your system preferences and click on the Quicktime logo. Click on the advance tab and check the Show legacy encoders box. Restart Quicktime and try again.
If that doesn't work download this component for Quicktime, Perain.

Restart Quicktime and try again.

It is Correct for your Current OS = Leopard = 10.5.8

You can also use VLC

It woks very well, can read almost anything, and also lets you do conversions to other formats.

Sorry for this question. Can you use this device with Vlc or QuickTime? Does skype support it? Is this device supported only by its own software?
I need a device that can work with my own software. My software can work only with a QuickTime supported device.
Thanks if you will reply to me.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes, the quality and efficiency of the audio should be the same for both methods. The fact that it isn't may suggest that you have a problem on your network. Have you checked for interference.

Depends of the specific kind of file you are trying to play. MOV refers to the file container. Any data compatible with the system used to create the file can be placed in an MOV file. If you don't have the same codecs available on your computer to play back the file or if your version of the QT player does not expect expect the encoded data to be in an MOV file container, then it cannot/will not play the file. Use the Finder Info window, media player Inspector/Information window, or a dedicated utility to determine what compression formats were used to create the MOV file and then install the required codec(s) if available.

Help major issue, quicktime will not play my HDV movie?

I have a major problem here.
I have a movie i shot and edited when I was at university using Final cut pro and HDV cams.
I need to show this movie on my macbook pro, but I purchased final cut express, and have just found out my Quicktime does not play this file.. the screen is just black?
I assume I need a HDV 1080i50 codec for quicktime??? is this correct?
Where can I get it?
I intend to give a presentation was going to use OpenOffice or use my Quicktime just for moving image
Any suggestions?
Regards

You were given a video that can only play in Final Cut Pro. Final Cut Express doesn't have that codec.
You going to have to go back to whom ever gave you that video and have them export the video to a codec that either Final Cut Express can play or a codec that Quicktime can play.The later would be better because, if a video can play in Quicktime it can play in Final Cut Express.

Ipod will not play anything purchased from itunes!!!

My ipod will not play anying thing purchased from itunes. It plays ok on itunes but it skips it on my ipod. I have restored my ipod athoritized my computer and I cant find any answers in help. Please help me!!!

See this article.
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
The following articles will help you.

Latest version of itunes does not support Quicktime can not play movie from library

Latest version of Itunes does not support Quicktime. I can not play movies out of my itunes. Please fix

I don't usually download video from the iTunes store. I had a couple of long plane rides coming up and thought I might have time to watch the Stanford IOS7 programming class. On the plane I discovered this issue which has gone unaddressed since 2011 and has been worsened in Mavericks. in 2011 the advice was to open iTunes' get info pane and click run in 32 bit. That worked at least for some people. In Mavericks, iTunes will not launch in 32 bit.
For the files you can locate in the finder ( mine are at
/Users/raine001/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Media/iTunes\ U/Developing\ iOS\ 7\ Apps\ for\ iPhone\ and\ iPad/1.\ Class\ Logistics\,\ Overview\ of\ iOS\,\ MVC\,\ Objective-C.mp4
) you can click on the file in the finder and it will launch in QuickTime. For some reason on the plane I could see the first lecture in the iTunes view but, although I could see all the other lectures in the finder, I could not see the first one.
Ah well, maybe some other year I'll think about getting up to speed on ios7. Heck, maybe by then they will design a decent user experience.

Quicktime 7.6 NOT playing movie trailers from Apple site???

I have all the latest software OSX 10.56 running on a 3.06GHz Intel Duo but Quicktime 7.6 will not play movie trailers when on the Apple site. When I try, the site advises I need the latest Quicktime which I have already downloaded and installed fresh. It just doesn't seem to recognize it no matter which movies I try and view.
Please help if you can?
Thanks

It's a piece of component software that's used by QuickTime to allow it to decode or encode different types of video/audio formats. The issue for me was that I had an old codec still in my system that should have been deleted/replaced during the last update, but was not. So when QT tried to access what it thought was an appropriate up-to-date decoder, it couldn't process the video with it and gave me a blank screen. Something similar could be happening to you as well.
Try deleting all of the QuickTime components and folders in your system. Because you're using Leopard, I'm not sure all the files will be where they are for me. Do a thorough search of your system and clean out any QuickTime files you find, they'll be in HDD/Library, HDD/System/Library, and HDD/Users/"yourusername"/Library. Then reinstall QuickTime using the installer from Apple's downloads page(or Software update will probably work as well). You'll have to restart afterwards and make sure to repair permissions after you've rebooted(use Disk Utility). Then test out the trailers again and see if that solves it.

Quicktime.mov not playing back from website

iWeb 3.0.4
I downloaded three .MOV to my site. One is playing back ok, the other two are only displaying the QuickTime symbol. I did empty the browser cache, but to no avail. Did check with server and the .MOV files are in the html folder, but not playing back. I also re-uploaded the questionable .MOV files, but it still does not let me open the files on my site. site name : bodoholst.com
thanks in advance

All three movies play OK for me.
The pages are slow to load as this method of adding them to the pages requires the movie file to download with the web page.
If you are happy to depend on viewers having the QuickTime plugin, this is a better way...

So that everyone can see your movies you really need to have flash fallback since there's still a lot of people around who don't have the QT plugin installed...

Quicktime 10 not playing RECENT iTunes m4v files

Hello All,
I purchase a lot of movies and TV from iTunes. I always watch them with Quicktime.
After upgrading to iTunes 10.1 on my Mac Pro Nov 17, Quicktime 10 stopped playing RECENT iTunes purchases. No movies downloaded since mid September will play. There is no audio; the window is black; play mode lasts a couple of seconds and then stops. Older ones play normally.
Anyone able to confirm this on your systems?
Big thanks, Brett

Hi.
I have the same problem. After several e-mails back and forth between me and iTunes Store Support I'm still where I started out with this problem. I was asked to reinstall iTunes as well, and I did. No change at all.
I have the latest iTunes and Quicktime installed. I like to save the video files like movies, tv show episodes and digital copies on my external hard drive and delete some of them from my itunes/mac to free up some space. I just play the files from my hard drive on Quicktime, so I won't have to import them into iTunes again.
However, I've noticed that any video file downloaded from iTunes after November 1st won't play in Quicktime. The tv show episodes I downloaded prior to Nov 1st play just fine, but if they were downloaded after Nov 1st, no matter what date they were originally released on, as long as I downloaded them after Nov 1st 2010, they won't play in Quicktime. Black screen, no sound.
This is really annoying as I buy lots of Blu-ray movies, and some of them comes with Digital Copies. I have several season passes too, and the latest episodes won't open in Quicktime either. I've tried everything I can think of, everything the people working with iTunes Store Support told me to do and still nothing.
If anyone finds a way to fix this, please let me know. I would be very grateful for any help fixing this problem.
I'm kinda glad I'm not the only person with this problem. That proves there's something wrong with iTunes, the OS, Quicktime or something else, probably Apple related. On the other side, I'm sorry you guys are having this really annoying problem too.
Sincerely,
gleek2009
edit: Btw, I just wanted to say that all those video files purchased/downloaded after Nov 1st still play fine in iTunes, just not in Quicktime. If that makes any difference.
