Quicktime plug in problem

Ever since installing itunes and quicktime on my computer, Quicktime plug in is not loading when I'm on the internet. I just see a Q with a question mark. I have tried reinstalling Quicktime and itunes but the problem is still there. Please help!

A lot of people seem to have this problem and for some reason no one knows why. I've tried using their awful FAQ and kept getting sent here. I've even mailed them personally and still haven't gotten a response. They either don't know why their stuff is busted or just don't care. Either way I'd like some sort of official response.

QuickTime plug-in problem with Firefox 2.0.0.3

I recently upgraded Firefox from 1.5 to the latest version. I used to be able to use QuickTime plugin to listen to mp3 clips online, but these days I always get this error:
"Quicktime was not found. Error #1292176 (I think this number varies from time to time). \n\nPlease install QuickTime on this computer."
"(An empty line)
The plug-in performed an illegal operation. You are strongly advised to restart Firefox."
Is it likely that upgrading FF without upgrading QuickTime a likely cause? I upgraded my QuickTime after upgrading FF and I reinstalled QuickTime serveral times but nothing seems to work... On the other hand, QuickTime plug-in seems to work perfectly fine in IE 7.0.6.
May I know what is a likely problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Oliver,
I can't tell what the SP was where the problem was fixed. Unfortunately, the fix is within JavaScript and not within ABAP coding. You could fix it the following way though:
If you happen to have a test system with SP10 installed (according to service marketplace SP11 seems to be scheduled for mid-March), replace your version of /sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/js/popup_*.js with the ones of the next SP inside of the mime repository (please make backups beforehand g). Probably, this will fix the problem as the files as backwards compatible.
Best regards,
Thomas

10.6.2 Safari 4.0.5 Quicktime plug in problem

I go to a site to see a mpeg-4 stream and get the following message:
QuickTime does not support the current MPEG-4 setting.
Go to Setup->Video&Image->Advanced->MPEG-4 and set Video object type to 'Simple' for QuickTime to work.
I can not find any way to configure the qt plug in. I have QT 10 and 7.6.3 installed. The QuickTime.Plugin.plugin is 7.6.3.
Do I have to edit the plist or some other file?
It does not work in Safari in 32 bit, 64 bit mode or in Fire Fox.
I wish apple would quit making user interfaces simpler by eliminating useful tools and controls...

Two new problems with the Quicktime Plug-in

I recently discovered two new problems with the current Quicktime Plug-in for Mac OS X.
First, the Quicktime Plug-in is unable to stream Quicktime media in any internet browsers other than Safari.
There is just nothing on the spot where the embedded Quicktime player should be.
Second, the Quicktime Plug-in only shows the message "The operation couldn't be completed. This file is not a movie file (-2048)"
everytime it should work together with the Flip4Mac Plug-in. The thing is, when facing a webpage where a wmv or wma file is
embedded, there only shows that error message on the spot where the player should exist. I first thought that it would be a
problem with Flip4Mac. So I uploaded about this problem on telestream.net, only to hear that the error message above belongs
to the Quicktime Plug-in.
Both of these problems did not happen at all only three weeks ago. The embedded Quicktime player showed up without any problem
in my Firefox and Opera, and wmv or wma files were streamed successfully through the Flip4Mac and Quicktime Plug-ins.
Then, suddenly, after some point, these two problems began to occur, and there is no information on how to solve them on the web.
I obviously tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime. I even completely erased the hard disk of my Macbook, and reinstalled the
whole Mac OS X. But the problems still remained. I borrowed another Macbook from my friend to check whether these problems
occur in other computers, and they did occur in my friend's Macbook as well. So they are definitely not the matter of my own Macbook only.
I think these might be the problems with the new Quicktime Plug-in 7.7.1.
Please check about these problems and solve them on the next version of the Quicktime Plug-in.
I will give you a couple of hyperlinks so that you can check about the problems directly.

Quicktime 7 Plugi-In Problem

Hi. I am having trouble with my Quicktime Plug-in. It is not allowing me to hear OR view content whenever I click a link that is a mpg or avi or wav file. It used to work,now all that happens is a new window comes up and there is a blank white screen whereas usually I would see a big "Q" and then the media would play. That is not the case anymore. What could be wrong and how could I fix this problem? I have the latest software downloaded aswell. Feedback would really be appreciated. thanx

I Leopard I used QT7 to export .avi files with .srt subtitle files to AppleTV. It worked slowly, but perfectly. Now in Snow Leopard I tried to do the same, the result is a file with subtitles over black video. (not with the new QTX nor with the old QT7 left behind in Utilities)
This situation is so frustrating! it has nothing to do with mac! this is so Windows! How come the new QT o System environment limits you in this freaking way? I want my Leopard back. I could live without every new feature in Snow Leopard, but I can´t live without my old Quicktime 7.

Safari 4.0 - Quicktime Plug-In Issue

Hey Everyone,
Hoping that I might be able to get a little bit of help here. Safari 4.0 is almost running fine for me. The only problem that I have is playing any Quicktime movie. Trailers, Keynote, etc. Whenever I try, I get the following message:
The page “Apple - Movie Trailers - Shutter Island” attempted to load an Internet plug-in named “QuickTime Plug-In 7.6.2”, but the plug-in failed to load successfully.
I deleted the quicktime plug-in and web plug-in from my library, and tried again, but was requested to install Quicktime. I reinstalled QT but then got the same error. I tried deleting the divx and flip4mac plug-ins also, but again... no success.
Can someone please help?

No dice... opens up the new window and here's the answer I get...
The page “http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Movies/dave.mov” attempted to load an Internet plug-in named “QuickTime Plug-In 7.6.2”, but the plug-in failed to load successfully.
Same problem as always!

Safari QuickTime Plug In Issues

Hello Everyone,
I set up a IP Cam over at another location on an apple time capsule router. I mapped port 80 so external users ie. you guys could access it.
You can view the camera here: http://67.165.53.251/
Username: guest Password: guest
My problem is using a Macbook air running OS Snow Leopard, QuickTime X and the latest build of Safari I can't get a video feed from the camera. The feed works fine on a PC and my GFs Macbook Pro running 10.4.
Basically what happens is when the QuickTime plug in tries to connect to the video feed it says "negotiating" forever. Then eventually the video feed never loads. This one has me stumped, I tried calling apple care and they gave me the whole shpeal on how that my problem was not covered my apple care. A few days ago when I called them with a similar issue and one of their tier 2 guys was able to help me out. Any ideas on what is going on here? I don't have any antivirus or firewall blocking it. I already downloaded QuickTime 7 as an alternative to X but no luck. I cleared my cache, history and .plist files and still no solution. I also tried connecting to the cam on my bosses MacBook Air virtually the same as mine and he had the same problem I did.

Your "kitty" feed works just fine for me using Safari and Snow Leopard.
Difficult to diagnose the cause as there is no longer a QuickTime "System Preferences" pane where settings can be tested.
The "negotiating" is talk between your streaming server and the browser plug-in. Once things are settled out playback begins. And it works for me but not for you.
Test the page using a different User account. This helps rule out many issues.

I have Firefox 3.6 and cannot download Quicktime Plug-In 7.6.6 to update Quicktime. Please let me know how I can do this?

I currently have QuickTime Plug-In 7.6.3 and been asked to update the latest version of QuickTime from the Apple Website. I tried to manually load QuickTime Plug-In 7.6.6 to Firefox and it wouldn't let me do this. A .window came up on my MAC and told me that I had QuickTime X on my hard drive. I currently have a MacBook Pro and it has the Snow Leopard Operating System

If you're running the latest version of Snow Leopard (10.6.4 as of today), you are fine. This is a FF bug.
To be certain, double-click on your hard drive icon and go to the following folder: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Do a "Get Info" on the "Quicktime Plugin" and see what version is stated. Most likely, it's version 7.6.6, in which case you have the latest version.
I spent the past 10 mins trying to figure out how to report this, but I gave up. Hopefully, other people having this problem find this discussion and don't waste their time trying to fix something that isn't broken.
Edit: OK, just found Bugzilla in the "Community" section for reporting bugs. Makes no sense to me that there isn't a link in the "Support" section for this, but that's just me, I guess.

QuickTime Plug-In 7.2

I am hoping that someone can help me with my problem, I got the following link:http://www.apple.com/macosx/ and I wanted to take the tour but when I press on what size I want a window drops down telling me "Unable to load plug-in, The page "Apple -Mac OS Leopard - Gruided Tour Small" attempted to load an internet plug-in named "QuickTime Plug 7.2", but the plug-in failed to load succeessflly.
Should I try to re-installed QuickTime 7.2?
Thank you for your time and trouble.
Norbert

Yes, I think you should uninstall QuickTime and reinstall a fresh version. Reset the preferences after downloading and installing the fresh version.

Quicktime "plug-in failure" in safari 8.0.5

I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 and get a quicktime "plug-in failure" in safari 8.0.5 when playing mov files at http://www.time-science.com/timescience/timelapse.asp

So it's something unique to my setup
I wonder how to fix it.
Tried uninstalling adobe flash, restarting and reinstalling as I noticed that idea in some web searching
This is what I get for the "Flowers":
Sorenson Video 3 is a legacy codec that is only passively supported under Yosemite. QT 7 and the QT browser plug-in can still play this content. However, QT 7 Pro can only export to this compression format if the codec is turned back on by the user. (I.e., active QT export support of the "legacy" codecs was turned off under Lion.) Further, Sorenson Video 3 is neither QT X or QL "playback" compatible but can be converted natively by QT Player v10.4 if desired.
Not sure if your error message is supposed to indicate that the QT browser plug-in is missing or is simply corrupted. Problem could also be in the way the web site is coded to play the files but I am not a site programmer so it would do me little good to examine the code use. On the other hand, I do already have a "Test" web site set up for a user trying to get his files to play in an older version of Safari so I added test pages for the Sorenson files from the site you referenced. See if you can play them from my alternate test pages. If they play there, then the problem may be site, otherwise, if they still don't play, you may need to reinstall the browser software.

Quicktime plug in 7.7.1 has crashed

Hello All,
I have a brand new iMac running OS X 10.8.5 and when I go to the following linked page and try and run the sample video clips, I get a message saying that QuickTime plug in 7.7.1 has crashed. I am using Google Chrome for a browser and have made all the updates.
Here's the link: https://www.apple.com/ca/logic-pro/whats-new/#sounds
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Norm

I am using Google Chrome for a browser and have made all the updates.
Works great using FF. Have you tried using another browser?
If macbig's excellent suggestions do not work, you need to contact Chrome tech support and/or post in their forums as the problem is with Chrome not your computer.

What is this all about? "The "QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6" plug-in is slowing down your Mac. You can wait for it to recover or stop it now." I'm running Mavericks 6.8.

I regularly get a prompt reading as follows: "The "QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6" plug-in is slowing down your Mac. You can wait for it to recover or stop it now." I've tried waiting, but nothing happens. I "stop it now" and lose the page I'm reading.

QuickTime Plug-In For Internet Explorer

Hi Everyone ... I'm having a slight problem here. I want the QT plug-in for IE to be disabled. The reason being is that I get sent a lot of links (just links) for work and when I click on them the plug-in plays the file. This becomes a problem because I need to save these to my hard drive, that is not allowed in the plug-in. Before installing QT / itunes 7 a box would pop up and let me select 'open' or 'save as'. How do I get back to this way?

It sounds like what you are trying to do is bypass the purchase of the "Pro" upgrade.
Web authors get to "control" their content any way they wish. If they choose the QuickTime plug-in to enable this "control" you'll either have to purchase the Pro upgrade (this doesn't mean you'll automatically be able to save their work) or find other methods to "borrow" their content.
Anyone can find the "source" to QT content by simply viewing the html source code. Open these files in your browser and use its "Save" menu to keep a local copy.
Here is the drill:
If the file "directly" links to a QT content file (or something it can open) you can open the file in your browser. Once the download is complete you can use the browser to "save" the file.
Works for any browser and any file format QuickTime understands.
Many Web authors prevent saving by either disabling the source (I do) or preventing "right-click" (kioskmode="true"). If they don't want you to use the file it is very easy for them to prevent you from saving a file.
Learn how to "read" the html code of a page. You can "borrow" nearly any file.

Video quicktime plug-in not founded but is allready installed

Hi.
My browsers are not founding video/quicktime plug in. QuickTime is installed. I'd check the MIME setting for quicktime video plug-in and is checked.
BUT, at the description above is writed 'vídeo/quicktime' instead 'video/quicktime'. Some genius may had translated quicktime to portuguese changing even the mime type code. If that is the case, browser will never make the association. I could install english version, but I like my own language...
Can I set these proprieties manually, like editing a file? Where is registered all the mime types and it's plug-ins?

Well, since nobody speak, I'd search at brasilian forums. Gess what, some smart guy made a small software that correct the problem in Firefox and Safari. The problem is exactly the name video/quicktime translated.

Missing QuickTime Plug-in?

Hi,
I have noticed recently that when ever I play a QuickTime movie in Safari (I can tell when Safari uses the Flip4Mac plug in so whenever it isn't using the Flip4Mac plug in it is sing a QuickTime plug-in... I am assuming...) the video never appears, the audio is fine, but no video. Am I missing some plug-in from QuickTime or what?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Tom & thelaxness
webplugin seems to be shorthand for webkit-based-plugin which is a type of plugin useable by only webkit applications, ( like say, Safari & Shira & most Apple apps, but not Camino or Firefox for example..)
Seems the webplugin offers some advantages in ease of programming/implementation, & for webkit apps could replace the standard 'netscape' type xxx.plugin type; but of course other mac browsers require the .plugin one, so sometimes both will be installed & seemingly can cause conflicts.
I have both plugin & webplugin versions of QT now & get no problems, but have previously needed to remove a webplugin to get videos working ( wmv ones using Flip4mac I think )
