Quicktime Movie won't play music

I created a slideshow of images with music from iTunes. It plays perfectly on my computer, but when my client runs it, with the same version of Quicktime(7.2), the music doesn't play and an error message saying the music file can't be found comes up. Is there a way to imbed the music file into the slideshow to ensure it plays on other computers?
Thank you!
Emma

Thanks for the explanations. I am trying to get my brain around the notion that if I had a CD of my own downloaded to iTunes, I could make all the copies I wanted and use them however I wanted, but a legally purchased song that iPhoto has no objection to my exporting to a QT movie is outside the rules!
That said, the explanation makes technical sense to me, so thanks!

In OSX 10.9, Quicktime movies won't play

Plug-in not "visible" in list even though Quicktime is installed. In this OS, we cannot "reinstall" Quicktime because it's built into the OS. How can I get the QT videos to run inside Firefox?

You said that QuickTime movies won't play "inside Firefox". Do they play inside Safari or when you directly access a QuickTime Movie file that's been saved on your Mac ?
See the Firefox Support article, [[Use the QuickTime plugin to play audio and video]]. It has some test links and explains how to enable the QuickTime plugin in the Add-ons Manager, in case it's been disabled in Firefox.
Like you say, QuickTime is built into the operating system on Mac OS so if you can't enable the browser plugin in Firefox or if it's missing, your best bet would be a Mac forum such as https://discussions.apple.com/

Quicktime movies won't play on Apple Website

I formatted my HD and reinstalled Snow Leopard. Last night and this morning I was watching the videos on http://www.apple.com/business/theater/#activecorners?sr=hotnews.rss, but tnight when I went back there, the movies won't play, nor will any other movies on the entire website. All I get is a Quicktime Icon with a question mark in the middle of it. I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime Pro 7 installed, with Pro in the Utilities folder.

After loading the AppleMPEG2.Component into the Quicktime folder in the Library, everything started working again. I'm not sure if that's what made it start working again though.

Quicktime Slideshow Movie Won't Play Music

I created a slideshow using my iPhoto 5.0.4 then exported it to a movie as Quicktime, with music. It plays beautifully on my machine. I burned it to a CD and sent it to someone with the identical Mac (a PowerBook G4) and he couldn't play it on his SAME version of QuickTime. As he explained it, his Apple kept sending him to iTunes to search for the music, which it claimed it couldn't find even in the Music Store (odd, since I bought the music from my Music Store).
Similarly, another person trying to view the same Quicktime movie on a PC, using a freshly downloaded of version of Quicktime, reported that the slideshow played but with NO music.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

"Export as Quicktime Movie" -- won't play on other computers

When I use the "Export as Quicktime Movie" option and try to play it back on a Mac without FCP installed, it is missing components and won't play back in Quicktime Player. Of course, I can export with various compressions and then it's fine, but sometimes I want that big "original" file. Any thoughts? Thanks!

You do need the codec you are exporting to installed in the other machine if you wish to play the exported file. A variety of codecs are available only with FCP installed.
A couple of possible solutions are a very high res H.264 or Download [ProRes decoder|http://support.apple.com/downloads/AppleProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_forMac] to share a prores file between machines.

Some QuickTime movies won't play after 10.4.4 upgrade

Hi,
I recently upgraded to 10.4.4 and now some QuickTime movies - mostly from Safari won't play any more. I do online training and none of those QuickTime movies will play. They load perpetually. They also work fine on my other machine (which I haven't upgrade from v10.4.3 yet)
According to System Profiler, I'm running QuickTime 7.0.0 - but I can't find 7.0.1 in the Apple downloads section. I'm not even sure if that will help.
Any ideas?

Most current version of QT is indeed 7.0.4, but Apple has removed that update and instead posted one that backs 7.0.4 back to 7.0.1.
Apple is now passively recommending against 7.0.4
One of the links that no longer works is any of VTC.com's training videos.

Quicktime Movies Won't Play on Godaddy's Server

I moved my site from valueweb to Godaddy a mouth ago all of my videos now show up with a question mark and won't play. I called them they said it is a problem in iWeb. Can any take a look at my page and let me know what you think.

http://magekfilmworks.com/demo.html
This url doesn't work at all. Do you have another one?
In any case, if correctly uploaded you site should have more to the url, like the name of the folder which demo.html is in. You should upload the folder which has the same name as your site does inside iweb plus the index.html which is published alongside that folder.

Quicktime movie won't play in PC.

A QT movie, made on an IMac and copied to a flashdrive, will not play in my PC--even though the PC has Quicktime for Windows. I get the following message:
"the movie file 100_0816.dv cannot be found. without this file, the movie cannot play properly."
Any ideas? Suggestions? The movie plays just fine on the mac, but has to be viewed on a PC at school(yes, it's a project).

I answered your post. You've made a reference movie and not a "self contained" file.
How large in file size? KB's?

IWeb Published Quicktime Movie Won't Play in Safari. Only Quicktime Logo Shows.

I created a movie using iMovie and, after publishing my movie, using iWeb, to my MobileMe account, I visit the site using Safari, and can only see the Quicktime logo instead of my movie. When I use Firefox to view the page I created, it shows fine. I'm all up to date on my software and OS.
Any help you can offer me? It seems like all the Apple pieces aren't working well together.
All my other published movies still work fine. It's just this most recently-published one that won't show correctly.

Hello to you all.
Translation excuse my English, I unfortunately can not do better. I have the same problem as you, I created a site for our travels in Brazil and I put videos on a page:
http://marc.rollmann.free.fr/marc.rollmann3/Cinema-Tropical.html
Avenida jazz, Jazz avenida2 and Muritiba.
They are compressed in H.264 .mov. Only one works well on my macbook leopard snow and air ipad ios8. The two other Jazz and Jazz2 run on iPad but not macbook. Sometimes I succeeded, but this is very rare. Can anyone tell me please what I should do or not do?
Thank you to you.
ps i have clear safari cache

Quicktime movie won't play in firefox

Hi. I just made a movie and trailer that I put up on the web. My friend programmed the site. I used apple's compressor program to compress the video for web. I chose the quicktime 7 setting. The quicktime 7 setting in compressor seems to be compressing it into a .mov file. The movie plays fine in safari and internet explorer, but for some reson will not play in firefox.
Has anybody had a similar problem? Does anybody know why I can't get this movie to play in firefox?
Thanks a lot for the help.

Thanks so much for offering to help me out.

Quicktime movies won't play - Displays quicktime logo with question mark

Hello,
I've searched the forums and haven't found a solution so I decided to straight out ask. I can no longer view quicktime clips (Apple movie trailers) in safari. The box comes up to play but then just displays the Quicktime "Q" with a question mark over it. I've checked the installed plug-ins from the help menu and it does show quicktime. This used to work fine so I'm not sure what happened. I cleared my history recently but don't think that would affect it. Also, everything runs fine when using Firefox. Thanks in advance for any help.

HI,
*"Also, everything runs fine when using Firefox. "*
Since it's working in Firefox, Try Safari maintenance...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
Since you are running Snow Leopard, make sure Safari is running in 32-bit mode, not 64. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache Go to ~/Library/Safari/ and webpageIcons.db to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
If nothing above helps, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.

ITunes rented movies won't play on my PC. "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include. So I downloaded QT but movies still won't play. HELP

iTunes rented movies won't play on my PC. "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include." So I downloaded QT 7 but movies still won't play. HELP Very frustrating.

Ok nw the rented film is on the iPad which won't play and when I looked at the Mac I was greeted with an error message saying that the film could nt be transferred because the file had already been transferred somewhere else! Thing is I can see it on theioad and the Mac still!
Obviously the film Kees checking where it as you can't watch it in two places at the same time. I can understand that but I knw it's not anywhere else.
The only thing I can think of is if when time machine backs it up it thinks it's being watched!
Any ideas anyone?

Movie won't play on computer say quicktime is incompatible

downloaded purchased movie won't play on computer say quicktime is incompatible. I get this message for Hannibal Rising: This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes.

First, thank you for taking the time to respond.
This is the recorder I have: Sony DVD Recorder & VHS Combo PlayerRDR-VX515:
http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SYDisplayProductInformation-Start?CategoryName=hav_DVDDVDRecorders&ProductSKU=RDRVX515&TabName=feature&var2=
The specs stated that it does record MPEG video.
The Mac mini is a super drive w/ + & - capability. I guess I'll have to buy another recorder to get this to work.

I upgraded my iPod Touch 4th Gen yesterday. Now it won't play music, which is the main thing I use it for. Over 11,000 songs [it's a 64GB model] -- will I actually have to restore the device and re-add all that music?

I upgraded my iPod Touch 4th Gen yesterday. Now it won't play music, which is the main thing I use it for. Over 11,000 songs [it's a 64GB model] -- will I actually have to restore the device and re-add all that music?
[Music files are still there, and I can play them on my computer directly from the iPod [just one track at a time] but not in the usual way, through headphones.]
On the Summary page of iTunes for the iPod, it shows 50-plus gigabytes of "Other" content and no music, which was not previously the case. I assume this is related to the problem.
I can bring up individual tracks on the iPod and see cover art, but cannot play the music.

iCloud is free, iTunes match is $25 a year.
I had the same problem and when I went to Settings I had 0 songs, even though they were obviously still there since I only had 15GB free on my 64GB device.
I decided to do a complete reset/restore of my 4th gen iPod Touch, Bad move! I've been messing with it for hours, and it simply won't restore--it keeps hanging on a black screen with an Apple logo and a progress bar at about 10%, sometimes it goes completely blank and tries again, with the same result. (I've posted my question/plea for help here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19735862 )
I'm ready to bang my head against the wall! I can put the device in recovery mode, connect to iTunes on my computer, and get it back to the setup screen, but when I go through the process again and try to do an iCloud backup I get the same reset/restore loop.
I could start from scratch, but I really, really, really don't want to go through all of my hundreds of apps, reinstall them one by one, etc. etc. etc.
I thought that once I started using iCloud, I didn't need to sync with iTunes anymore--guess I was wrong.

HT1498 My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented". What gives?

My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented". What gives?

I have a similar issue. My Dell Latitude is running Windows Pro 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8. It looks like it's playing, but it isn't.
Things seemed to work fine before the 8.1 update. I fear I will have to rollback to 8.0 because the sound no longer works on the computer unless you use the headphone jack.
Podcasts and music behave the same way, they appear to be playing, but the timer is not progressing for them either.
This may be the combination of 8.1 and 11.1.3.8
