Quicktime on website question

Hi
I'm rebuilding my website and have a problem with a quicktime movie that I have pop up when a image is clicked
If I try the website on a mac the window opens and the movie begins to play (as I want it to) - if I try it on a Windows machine it wants to save it (it the same on a couple of different machines)
I'm not sure whether this is a setting within quicktime, browser or just a PC thing
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

I've been fiddling and added another but I'm guessing its still the same - sorry haven't got access to a PC at the weekends so I can't tell

  • Quicktime logo with question mark appears instead of flash content

    since updating my system yesterday to OS x 10.4.11 i have been unable to view flash content with _all browsers_. *Quicktime logo with question mark* appears instead. Spent 4 hours trying every fix suggested by Mac forums worldwide - with no result. Took the computer to the apple store where they actually took 60 euros off me for NOT fixing the problem. Still cannot view any flash content. Any help would be appreciated

    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11.
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    The world should now be your oyster!

  • Quicktime icon has question mark on it

    Hi,
    When I click on some websites,not all, I cannot get in and the screen changes to a Quicktime icon that has question mark on top of it.
    I use Mac G5, Panther, FireFox.
    Thank you!

    For a long time now I'v been also plagued with the same problem Q w/?. until today!! after reading all your problems I figure it out.
    I have tried Firefox, Netscrape, Safari and Opera and even an old copy of internet explorer and keep on getting the Q&?.
    So I said, what the heck and went for it. Here is what I did. I have a G4 laptop running Mac OS 10.4.10 but I'v been lazy on doing up dates cause I only use it when I'm out in the field doing a photo-shoot. The problem machine was my Dual 2 GHz Power Mac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.
    Heres the fix, try this. All I did was copy the folder in your system "library/Internet Plug-Ins" folder from the laptop to the G5 and restart Safari and now everything works with no "Q?" .

  • Quicktime logo and question mark in Firefox

    If anybody can help with this I would be very gratefull. When I am using Firefox (latest version) on my Macbook Pro and I navigate to any website that requires the quicktime plugin all I get is the quicktime logo and a question mark, I am running quicktime 7.1.3. There is no problem using these sites with safari. I assume it is specific to this user account because I have a 2nd user account on Mac OSX and when I log into the 2nd user account Firefox works perfectly. I have dragged firefox to the trash and re-installed it, I have tried deleting preferences in my library folder ~/library/preferences, and looked for files in ~/library/application support but anything I have deleted hasn't made a difference. This is just a small niggle to me as I would rather use Firefox than safari however Firefox just won't play any quicktime files within any web page unless I log into my 2nd user account on OSX which just isn't practical. Once again any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Kevin.....

    Safari in Mac appears to exit the quicktime download prematurely. Unable to ID a root cause. Similar operation using Firefox allows the file to continue download and then A/V controls appear when complete. Check answers by Quicktime Kirk regarding setting a play 'flag' in such a way that allows the audio to start prior to the file being downloaded. I'm not sure where to check or adjust that quicktime parameter in iweb but other smart people probably have the answer.

  • Quicktime displays a question mark when trying to play a movie

    hello, i upgraded to the latest version of quicktime for macosx, and since then it hasnt been able to play any movies, not even the ads on the quicktime website, it just displays the question mark. i tried updating the flash plugin but had a wierd problem. when i go to quicktime preferences and try to enable flash, it doesnt save the change, i enable it, the go to a new pane, but when i go back the box is unchecked, any ideas why this is happening. ive tried repairing permissions and restarting, but this does nothing. why cant i watch movies anymore????!!!!?!?? thanks in advance for any feedback.

    Well, unless someone else chips in here to help, your other option is to contact Apple's technical support. Their U.K. phone no. is: (44) 0870 876 0753
    I could be wrong, but as I understand it, if you've never contacted Apple before for the particular Mac you're calling about, then your 90 days of complimentary phone support will begin from your very first call.
    Here is the "Contacting Apple Support and Service" page:

  • Quicktime Logo w/Question mark on web pages

    A few months ago, suddenly I was unable to view Quicktime files on web pages when they loaded. The program is on my computer and it will play files I have saved on my hard drive but when I go to a website that has a Quicktime file (still or video) I only get the Quicktime logo with a question mark and cannot open, play or access the file in any way. I've checked all the settings I know on my computer to fix the problem but none of them have worked. Anyone have a solution to this issue?

    How to view/hear pretty much everything:
    Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:

    You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • Audio: Quicktime Logo with Question Mark Appears

    When attempting to listen to an audio file linked on a web page, I get a new screen with the Quicktime logo superimposed by a question mark and a dialogue box offering to take me to a page of Quicktime components. (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=OSX&ctype=73646563&c subtype=6d730022) And then it just leaves me there with no guidance. What components are the ones I need to play this audio clip? This page, or the script (?) that kicks in when I attempt to play an audio file that needs additional components, is so frustrating. I wish it told me what component is missing. I have read thru the descriptions and downloaded some of the components that seem like they might have something to do with playing an audio file, but still, the file does not play, still the **** logo with the question mark. I have QT 7.5 on a brand new iMac. I have played audio files just previously on the same website. Anybody have any advice on what component is needed or how I find that out?

    Hmmm, that didn't help. As I continue through the pages of the website, I find that it is only one audio clip that is not working so far. BTW, this website seems super-antiquated and badly put together, so perhaps it's a problem with the website.

  • Embedded quicktime on website viewing on iphone stopped working

    I used Quicktime's "export for web" to embed videos to a mobile version of my website.  At first it didn't work until I got the full url path for each .mov file correct.  That was almost a year ago and it had been working fine.  A few weeks ago I noticed the links on iPhones were broken.  Instead of showing the poster image with the blue play button, it just showed a grey box the correct size and a broken play button.  However, the videos did work on desktop browesers still.  I contacted my hosting service and they said there's nothing they could do about it and it must be my phone provider.  Ok....not sure what that has to do with anything since wifi doesn't work with it either and I have unlimited data.  Trying to explain this to a service provider sounds like an exercise in futility.  I hadn't done anything to my service or that section of the site since I put it up in Nov2010.  I'm at a loss as to why it stopped working on iPhone.  I assume it doesn't work on iPad either, though I haven't been able to check.
    I did find this "tip" when I use the debug console for iPhone:
    BYTE_RANGE_ERROR_MESSAGE
    So, short story is, it worked for almost a year, picked the correct video file based on connection, 3g, wifi, desktop, but has since stopped working on iPhone - and perhaps all mobile devices.  Viewing the mobile site on a desktop computer plays the videos fine.
    Anyone see any problems like this recently or have any suggestions?  I just don't understand why it stopped working all of sudden and not just my phone, but other people's phones as well.

    Switching web hosting providers fixed this problem instantly.  I have no idea what my previous provider did to cause everything to grind to a halt, but it seems to work fine on all devices in my area.

    I was having the same problem with the Quicktime Question Mark appearing on web pages and emails, in both Safari 1.3.2 and Firefox 2.0.0.3. This glitch started after installing the Quicktime 7.1.6 update. I was reticent to downgrade to Quicktime 7.1.5, because 7.1.6 had some important security updates installed. I followed the advice of Quicktime Kirk and deselected FlashPlayer in Quicktime Preferences. This fixed the problem in Safari, but not in Firefox. I then went to VersionTracker.com and searched for the newest update for Adobe FlashPlayer. I installed Adobe FlashPlayer 9.0.45, and now have no problems in Firefox. It appears that this may have been a FlashPlayer problem rather than a Quicktime problem...but as long as it's working, I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

  • Quicktime with a question mark

    I am trying to play some Mp4 movies that I uploaded to my MobileMe gallery and I cannot play the same on my Mac. I get a question mark within the Q symbol. No movies on my MobileMe is playing after upgrading to 10.6. Any suggestions?

    Well, I am still no wiser, but will let you know if anything else occurs to me. Your movie will not play for me either. The page loads, and the poster frame loads, get a spinning pizza for maybe 20 seconds, and the a notice plastered to the bottom of the movie that QuickTime can't play it. It will download, and then plays in QT just fine. From this I'm going to assume it isn't a problem with your plugins, since it won't play for me either.
    Since it was playing in QT after I downloaded it, I tried uploading it from QTX to my web gallery:
    http://gallery.mac.com/francines#100086
    I'll take it down of course as soon as I finish trying to figure this out. Anyway, the point is that it plays there just fine, but I quickly discovered that QTX had converted it to the m4v format for the two larger versions, and to a 3gp format for the smallest version.
    So I wondered if the mp4 format was the problem. I seem to have disposed of most of my mp4s online, but did find one still up:
    http://homepage.mac.com/francines/.Movies/kenstr.html
    Oddly enough in the web page it plays in the QT7 plugin (you can tell by the control bar), but downloaded it plays in QTX. And if I drag the downloaded mp4 into the Safari window it plays with QTX, as does the download I did of your movie!
    And I am indeed running Snow Leopard, and have been working on my review here:
    http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/snowleo1.html
    It is working surprisingly well. This is the first real glitch that I can't understand AT ALL that I've run into.
    One final question: how did you get your movie into your Gallery? I ask because there are several different ways to do that. As I mentioned above, I put your movie up using the QTX Player, went to the Share menu and selected MobileMe Gallery.

  • .mac website question

    I know this is off topic, but I want to build a website in iweb. I know you have to use .mac to publish it very easy. IS there a way to do it with out it? Also do you have to publish it to the .mac site, or can you publish it to your own domain? Ya know. like www.whatever.com instead of the .mac blah blah blah?

  • Quicktime screen w/question mark

    I've downloaded the newest quicktime, 7.0.3 no problems installing or downloading, but everytime I go to play a quicktime movie, the "Q" icon shows up with a question mark in front of it. Any idea why that is?
    Also, the quicktime won't work for my iTunes store, we don't even get a screen to show up and that's with the new updates.
    Any help is appreciated

  • Why does quicktime have a question mark when I open Safari - how do I fix?

    Whenever I open Safari to any page with Quicktime I
    get a Q with a questions mark through it.
    I am about ready to hang myself.
    Thanks,
    John

    Edgar123,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Sounds as if somehow your Mac has misplaced the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin file. Try searching your hard drive to see if that plug-in is around in the wrong spot, or download and re-install the Quicktime installer from the Downloads link at the top of the Discussions page.

  • Playing QuickTime from websites on the iPad

    Greetings All;
    I and a few others who have iPads are trying to view QuickTime movies from a forum.  The forum uses phpbb software running version 3.0.1.  The QuickTime movies run fine using Macs.
    Is it the phpbb software or the iOS Safari that is the problem?  Are there any solutions?
    Thank you.

    Just noticed I had this posted as a question.  I just corrected it to be a discussion post.
    Sorry about that.
