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.

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/

"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.

ITunes rented movie won't play on Apple TV

Hi
I have rented two movies on iTunes on my Mac of which neither will play on my Apple TV. I can see the movies on Apple TV but when I navigate to watch I get an error message saying that the movie is being watched on another Apple TV or computer and I should stop this first to watch it on the Apple TV.
I know that it's not being played anywhere else. I tried using the iPad to play the film located on the Mac and I get an error saying Cannot Open!
I have only been able to play one movie direct on the Mac as I deleted the other by mistake but the one payed fine and has started the rental period timing.
I tried transferring the entire film to the iPad with syncing and it still won't play.
The only place it will play s on the Mac.
The two rentals are Orange Film To Go films if that makes a difference.
Please help.

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?

External hard drive movies won't play on apple tv

I recently purchased an Apple TV unit. Plugged it into the sony TV HDMI input. It sensed the existing wifi I wanted to use. Set up home sharing. Etc.
I recently started copying some old digital video tapes via my iMac to an external hard drive. After reading a few blogs, I imported into iTunes what I thought were the digital home movies from my external hard drive. I then went back to my living room and chose "computers" and then "movies" and low and behold they were there with the correct running times etc. When I chose the home movie I wanted to watch it won't play. Is there some setting that I am over looking?
Sort of weird that I can see the movie selection with a picture (basically the first frame of the video) but can't play it.
Any suggestions would be very helpful. I've tried to figure it out myself, but not knowledgeable about how this mac works I suppose. Any help would be appreciated.

Purchased movie won't play on Apple TV

I bought a movie via iTunes; downloaded on my MBP and uploaded it into my iPad - all is good - the movie plays fine. I also have an Apple TV 32GB (1st generation, software updated, connected via WiFi) - the movie shows up on the Apple TV under my My Movies, but the movie does not play. Play and Chapter Selection do not "work," though the Features section of the movie does.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

HD 720p. Even First Gen Apple TV was HD - shouldn't be an issue?

Itunes rental movie won't play on apple tv

I'm trying to play an itunes rental movie via itunes on my Windows 8 computer through Apple TV.
Upon trying to play the movie the computer says "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Apple TV". An unknown error occurred (-41049)."
The TV says "This movie is already being viewed on another Apple TV or computer...."
The movie is NOT playing anywhere else.
Any advice on how to fix this?

My rental stopped about 10 minutes ago and I can't restart it. Actually, I was just prompted to update Apple TV ... guess they rolled out an update that caused the issue? Find out here soon ...

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

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.

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:

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.

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?
