Quicktime not playing videos online

so, i'm trying to watch a video online using quicktime, but everytime i try to watch it, i get a the quicktime Q with a question mark. I've updated to the new version and updated adobe flash player, but its still not working. Is there a problem with the plug in, which is enabled, or something else?

Is there a problem with the plug in, which is enabled, or something else?
The QT symbol with question mark is an indicator that the software could not "trap" a specific error and is indicating that the user must manually look into/solve the problem. This could be anything from a non-specific plug-in problem with unsupported or unrecognized content to a valid pointer to content than cannot be accessed to errors not properly trapped in the HTML script for that page.

My macbook air will not play videos online, like product demo videos, etc.

My macbook air is running on OS X 10.9.5, with i5 processor, and for some unknown reason will not play videos, like short tutorial videos or demo videos for online shopping site. The enable plug-ins is on and I don't know what else to try. Never had this happen before.

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
For a "blocked plug-in" error, see Step 4.
For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

Quicktime not playing videos on the internet

I recently got the Quicktime update and its messed everything up. First I got an error about the QTCF.dll file. I googled it and found that if I take the QTCF file and move it to windows/system32. It will work. So I did that and it worked, quicktime would open and it can play videos. However, when I go to a site and try to play a video that used to work, it just opens a blank screen. Any fixes?

It was fixed after a restart.

Firefox does not play videos online except on YouTube. I have the latest updated flash player . What is the problem ?

The videos do not play except on YouTube. It shows an error message that it can't play the video. I have the latest updated Adobe Flash player. And the same videos work well on IE and GC !

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

QuickTime not playing videos

I recorded videos on my iPhone 4s, uploaded them into iPhoto, then exported them to a folder. After exporting, I deleted them from my phone and from iPhone and now QuickTime isn't playing the video. How can I get the videos to play on QuickTime?

It was fixed after a restart.

Quicktime not playing video

I am on a Mac Pro running Snow Leopard. I have a number of videos downloaded from various cameras and an iTouch with .mov extensions. I downloaded Quicktime 10, and Quicktime 7 yesterday. When I open any of the videos in either Quicktime and click Play it doesn't seem to read more than the first frame. I opened "Show Clips" (in version 10) and the first frame is repeated over and over from start to finish. I opened the A/V controls (in version 7) and set the playback control to 1/2x with no change.
I know there is more to each clip because I can open and play them in iPhoto and iMovie. Our IT guy keeps telling me to just use Quicktime because "it's easier!"
So next he told me to download VLC but when I try to play any of the videos with that program I get a black screen for a few seconds that then closes down.
So can anyone tell me what I need to do to correct this? Thanks for any advice but please keep it simple!

I tried it but it didn't work

Quicktime not playing video or music......

I was having problems with Quicktime so I had to uninstall it, update Direct X, and reinstall it. It works now when i directly open up Quicktime but if a website has a song or video that plays with Quicktime, it wont play at all. Can you help me? The Quicktime version is 6.5.2

Because you're using QT 6.5.2 you can't view all QuickTime content. Quite a lot of pages are now using H.264 video and it can't be viewed using 6.5.2.
Try one of my pages to test your browser plug-in and QT version:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/California/index.html
The file is about 3MB's. If it plays correctly your browser and QT version are OK.
The plug-in settings can be found in the QT Control Panel (under MIME settings). You can also check your browser preferences for "helpers".

Quicktime not play video only Audio with Lion

I am trying to watch avi file through Quicktime the I only get audio and no video after Lion installed.
I downloaded Perian again
Whats the problem?

There seems to be an issue with the version of Quicktime X (10.1) in Lion and Perian version 1.2.3.
The are several options in terms of other media players (VLC, MPlayerX, RealPlayer [ugh…], and others…) that will handle FLV files with ease. Alternatively, you could run your video files through an encoder (HandBrake, MPEG Streamclip, SmartConverter, etc.) converting the files into something QuickTime naturally understands like an MP4 or MOV.
But, you were probably happy when everything just worked with the QuickTime / Perian dynamic duo and just want it the way it was. It seems the best way to make this happen, is to go back to using Perian 1.2.2, for the moment anyway. Seems to do the trick for anyone with this problem, so…
1. Remove Perian 1.2.3 from the system.
Quit all your apps, expecially QuickTime. Open System Preferences and click on Perian. You're looking for the "Remove Perian" button; just click and if it asks, type your password. Next, back to the main System Preferences screen where you right-click(or control-click) on the Perian icon. A menu pops up with the choice to remove the Preference Pane. Click on it and Perian is officially uninstalled.
2. Restart the computer
Probably overkill, but better than having to repeat the process because you didn't.
3. Download and install Perian 1.2.2
Get it here: http://perian.cachefly.net/Perian_1.2.2.dmg , or here:http://www.videohelp.com/download/Perian_1.2.2.dmg
Once its downloaded mount the disk image, but proceed with care. Perian will likley try to upgrade itself right after you install it. Best thing to do: disconnect from the net for the install process. Then as usual double-click the "Perian.prefpane" file, choose who you'd like to install it for, and enter your password as needed. Finally, right before reconnecting your machine to the world, uncheck the "Automatically Update" box in the Perian preferences.
Try testing one of the FLVs in QuickTime or QuickLook and with a bit of luck, radio becomes TV.
Oh… and on the off chance it doesn't work and you want to watch some FLVs? Use VLC (http://www.videolan.org), or convert them with HandBrake (http://handbrake.fr).
Good luck!

Quicktime won't play videos online. ???

I just downloaded quicktime, and then restarted my computer. But it still won't play videos online. I'm not sure if it is like this for all sites, but i have one site in particular that won't play videos. Any ideas? I have Windows 7 by the way.

I come across this a lot, actually. I'm tired of having to switch to Firefox in order to view certain quicktimes. Here's a clip that won't play for me:
http://www.chartoonz.com/index.html
I can't figure it out because Safari will play quicktimes, even other h264 quicktimes, but then I'll run across an h264 on someone's site and I get the question mark.

QuickTime stand alone not playing video, only audio

Am running QuickTime stand alone on my PC with Windows XP Home 2002. For some reason the .mov files that were created with my digital camera will not play video (only audio) on this computer. The files seem to play fine on other computers. Have also found out that I can play downloand or streamed videos (only audio).
Can't figure out why video won't play. Other video formats (.avi for example) play fine through Windows Player.
Any insight? . . . anyone?

After updating to windows 8.1 iTunes will not play video

I recently updated to Windows 8.1 but since i have my iTunes will not play video i previously downloaded from the iTunes store. The video will play in QuickTime without issue though, please help

sorry it's not my apple id. it's my icloud email/account. after i updated to ios 8.1.2 my icloud acct on my phone is wrong. it's using my old college email address instead of my current icloud account email. my old college email address *used* to be my apple id, but i changed my apple id to my gmail account a few months back. anyway i can't "sign out" or delete the icloud account bc it thinks my college email address is my icloud account and it keeps asking for the password. so i'll type in the current password for my icloud account and it says it's wrong and i need to retry or change the password, which i've already done twice and nothing changes. probably bc its asking for the password associated with the college email address it thinks is my icloud acct.
i can access icloud on my desktop without a problem... make any sense? do i have to restore my phone now or is there a solution? i've wasted the last 2 days trying to figure this out. i can't send or receive emails on my iphone bc of this. which really ***** for work.

Totem Movie Player not playing files online

well Hello. I have one problem, when i try to play Video online, like this site: http://www.lrt.lt/ltv-LT-high.asx (it's for Lithuanian users) tv online, to watch olimpiad, i get nothing, it just auto cancel playing.
Well then i tryed to add that Link into Totem Movie Player GUI in Computer, to play from program, not from firefox or any other browser. Then i get this error:
[b]An error occurred[/b]
The playback of this movie requires a application/x-mmsh decoder plugin which is not installed.
I tryed sudo pacman -S x-mmsh, but it founds nothing to install.

I arrived here via google after experiencing the same problem. I got it with kaffeine (that is based on xine), with the current version in testing (I did not try the other one). Of course you need to install the packages of codecs as well.
But still you need a workaround in these KDE applications (kaffeine, amarok, etc): The workaround is to replace the http:// part of the url with mmsh://

Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so

Dear Adobe.
Yesterday I installed the latest version of Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so I can uninstall the latest version only. Thank you. Stephen Kress. Melbourne. Australia

When you run the uninstaller, it will uninstall all Flash Player versions.
If you want to revert to an older version after that, get it from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

hi mate,
have you checked via Nokia Suite on PC if there are any firmware updates available for your device? if there are, please update to the latest version offered. failing that, you can try re-installing your current firmware thru Nokia Suite and if that fails, Restoring your phone to factory settings.
Failing that, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for inspection: http://nokia.com/support
