Quicktime Movie Files Not Opening when sent from iLife

REcently, my mom and dad have sent me QT files recently via email and I've been unable to open them. Here is the strange part...they just emailed them to me using the "share" feature within imovie and/or iphoto. The files compressed fine and emailed w/o problem. I was unable to open them which I think is very odd.
Is there a problem with QT anyone know of out there? I'm using QT 7.1.5. My parents are both using the most recent ilife suite and QT.

I have emailed an avi file to friend with aol mail address. When trying to open file quicktime error message says it is not a movie. When I used quicktime pro to mail the file it changed file to a .mim . Cannot find a program on their windows machine that will play the .mim file. How can you e-mail avi files in a way that windows users can view them ?

  • I have a quicktime movie on a hard drive, and I have the hard drive plugged into my macbook, and the quicktime movie is not opening, its just a black screen. How do I convert it to the right file so I can watch it ?

    I have quicktime movie files on a hard drive, and normally when I plug the hard drive into my computer, I can open the quicktime files and watch them. Now when I am doing it, the quicktime movies are opening up with a black screen. How do i convert it to be in the right format to be able to watch ?

    I plugged my old drive into an identical Vostro and saved my bookmarks per the instructions. Later, when I check the file, it was in html format. While waiting for the replacement laptop to arrive, I put my old (Vostro) hard drive into a case so I could access the files. I have been able to launch web pages from the file bt accessing them through My Documents so I know the file is good. The problem is, I apparently need to convert them into a JSON file in order to use them. There is a set of instructions on the Mozilla/Firefox website but that method does not work.

  • Quicktime Movie File not syncing

    Hi have just recently purchased an Apple TV and love the functionality of it, but I cannot seem to sync the movie files from iphoto which were taken from a digital camera. The files are described in itunes as 'Quicktime Movie File' but it seems to only sync MPEG4.
    What happened to the slogan - 'if its in itunes, its in Apple TV'?
    I have not experienced this yet!
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Jarrod

    Yea, that slogan is a little overboard.
    You will definitely need to convert anything you want to watch to MPEG4 if it isn't already, and (further) it needs to meet the specifications of what ATV will play (that is to say, ATV won't play any MPEG4 but one that falls within the parameters it can handle. Luckily they are broad and reasonable parameters).
    Your best bet is to right click on the movie in iTunes and choose "Convert to Apple TV". That ought to do it.

  • FCP Quicktime movie files not working with iDVD

    I have been using iDVD for years with no issues. Now, whenever I export a QT file from FCP 7 and use it in iDVD, I get a blank screen with audio and no video.
    I am able to work around the problem by using "Export Using Qucktime Conversion" and creating a smaller file, but I've never had to do that before. What in the world am I missing here? Shouldn't I be able to export as a QT movie, as long as the file is not gigantic? (the most recent one I used and had this problem occur was only about 500mb). Thanks for any help...
    Ben

    Hmmm,
    Well this is helpful information but unfortunately didn't solve my problem. The movie in question is only 5 1/2 minutes long. When I export it as a QT movie, iDVD "acts" like everything is fine; I can preview it within iDVD, etc.But when I burn the disc, it comes out blank. I then went back to FCP and exported it using QT conversion, and the DVD burned just fine. (I exclusively use Taiyo Yuden media and have never had a bad disc).
    This is just a simple 16:9 movie, shot at 720/30p on a Canon DSLR. I ingested with Log and Transfer using ProRes422, then dropped it onto the timeline, added a music track, rendered, and exported as Quicktime movie. It looks great on my desktop using the QT player, but it simply will not work in iDVD.  Still stuck here...

  • .MOV files not opening - please help

    Can anyone help please:
    After having all sorts of problems with my iMac, I wiped my HD, reinstalled OSX (snow leopard) and restored my system using Time Machine.
    Now some, but not all, of my .MOV movies filmed on iPhone will not open.  I just get the message "The document “IMG_00xx.MOV” could not be opened." in Quick Time Player.
    Worst of all, I had backed-up these movies both using Time Machine and just as a copy of my Movies folder to an external HD.  However these back-ups also do not open.
    Please can anyone help - I'd be really upset to lose these movies for good.
    thanks

    no good here.  software updates is what got me scrambled and no new updates available.  I'm still on Leopard 10.5.8 so I think it's a conflict there and os 10.6 or 10.7 would solve it.. but I don't have time to drive 2 hours each way to the nearest Apple store to get the thumb drive OS 10.7 in time to finish my project by tomorow.  If that is the issue, I wish Apple's techies had disabled quicktime update for 10.5.8 and instead say (to use the newest Quicktime upgrade your os to 10.6)  At least I hope that's the issue.  Thanks for the info though.  need to get through this weekend and get this project done for a live performance, then I can worry about upgrading OS.

  • Upgrading to iTunes 10.6.0.40 imports MPEG-4 movie files as "QuickTime movie file" not "MPEG-4 Video file"

    Recently updated itunes to 10.6 and since then adding any new MPEG-4 Video file itunes is flagging as QuickTime.
    This creates an issue since my Apple TV doesn't recognize these types of files in iTunes.
    To validate it's the itune upgrade, previous "MPEG-4 Video file" entries added and played on Apple-TV were imported an now show as "QuickTime Video file"
    Thx

    This problem has been resolved after the ATV update was received. 
    The ATV now recognizes the videos marked in itunes as Quick time eventhough they are Mpeg-4 video files.

  • Error -43 file not found when exporting from QT Pro 7.5

    I get the error -43 (a file could not be found) when trying to export into any format from within Quicktime Pro 7.5 (861) which i believe is the most current version. I also cannot perform a simple "save as" to save my video into another name, i dont get an error message for that one, but it just doesnt do anything. Im not sure if there is any point placing this on this forum, but maybe someone at Apple is interested in offering a little support...?

    OK so i found the solution myself - seems apple programmers have been not doing their jobs properly, to get this working the file name of the video that i want exported cannot be anything other than in 8.3 format (like old MS-DOS) but it's more than that, even if you do have the file in 8.3 format it still cant be in a directory that has a name longer than 8 characters, or which has spaces in it etc. so in my case i copied my video to c:\temp and renamed all of them to the old MS-DOS 8.3 format, now the export works... amazing I wonder how long i would have waited for apple support if i hadnt resolved this myself.

  • Teststand sequence file not locking when locked from a labview running vi

    Hi guys,
    ok, here's the issue that I have:
    I'm running a vi (directly in labview) which is supposed to lock a sequence file in Teststand (with a level 2 protection), but it doesn't have any effect on the sequence file. (the file remains unlocked).
    The vi runs just fine, and the strange part is that when I read the lock status (property node in labview) of the sequence file afterwards it appears as "True" (i.e the file has been locked).
    (Note: Teststand is closed while running the vi, then I open it to check if the sequence is locked or not)
    However, integrating this same vi as step in a separate sequence file in teststand, and running it, will work. Why? Is it possible to
    lock a sequence directly by running the vi in labview?
    Attached to this message is the block diagram of the vi.
    The relevant inputs are:
    SequencePath -- sequence file to be locked
    Password -- password used to lock file
    Version -- Also sets the version of the file
    If anyone can help clarify this, I'd appreciate 
    Thanks

    Hi gabolt,
    Would you mind answering a few questions for me regarding this issue?
    1. Have you tried reading the "locked" property of an unlocked sequence file before setting any properties? Does it read false?
    2. What happens if you try to run the VI on a locked sequence file?
    3. Are there any differences in the data you are passing to the VI in TestStand versus the inputs you are using when running the VI alone?
    4. When TestStand locks the file using the VI, are you able to use the password you assigned to unlock it?
    5. Is the version number saved when you run the VI from LabVIEW?
    Thank you!

  • Picture text not working when sent from iPhone to non iPhone

    Since this 6.1 update that I have told everyone not to update. My phone has been doing strange things and I have called and talked to apple and they said they have not heard anything about it. First off, when I try to send a picture text to someone that does not have an iPhone such as an android they either a) can't open it or b) it opens as a video and flashes off. They had no problems before this update. So today my iMessage stopped working. I deletes the messages I had and sent a test text to iPhone friends and it started working. I also went I to settings and added my email to iMessage. In doing this it got me to thinking that if this changed by itself maybe it had something to do with the SMS.  Which is turned on already. I turned off iMessage and sent picture text to non iPhone and it worked. I don't want to have to turn off and no all the time anyone else had this problems?

    Hi Steve,
    I have tried to export to epub 2 and 3. The video is MP4 (h264). It was working just fine on all devices now I can't seem to get any video to export and work.
    Pretty sure it all stopped working after the Yosemite upgrade on the Mac or iOS 8 on devices. Or maybe both.
    Oddly, it plays in iBooks on my mac, just not on the iPad or iPhone.
    I've also tried to just export a couple of short test epubs with vids in different formats but get the same result....not working.

  • .doc files not opening when emailed

    All of the sudden no one on a PC can open my .doc files when I email them. Word is prompting them to install special software to open them...they're coming up as some kind of Japanese text. What's going on??? I haven't ever had this problem before.

    I'm not sure why it would have just started. What e-mail application are you using to send your files? Entourage? A Web e-mail client? Apple's own "Mail" program? What application are the recipients using? Some details like that might be helpful to troubleshoot your issue. If you're using Apple's Mail program, you might search/post in the Mail forums here:

  • Oversized page not formatted when sent from Crystal Enterprise

    I have been racking my brain to figure this out and I hope that somene is able to help me.  I have a report that is very wide and I have it set to print to Adobe PDF print driver with specified settings to include Landscape and page size = ISO B1.  When I run this report and export directly from Crystal Reports, I get the desired results.  However, once it is scheduled and emailed to the distribution recipients, it is formatted for Letter page size and portrait orientation.
    I have made sure that the Page Setup is configured properly.  I have used the "Manage Object" tool within the Repository Explorer and have tried to configure the Print Setup in the "Process" tab but I do not get the results that I am looking for.  Is there anyone who has had this problem who may be able to help me out?  I am having to run this report manually because I cannot get it to send properly.
    Thank you.  Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!!!  :P

    If you have a valid contract you can create a new message on line and get a Support Engineer to help you with this issue.
    Try installing the same printer you used onto the BOE server and set the default size to B1. You can then select the printer I believe....
