QuickTime Plug In Question

10.6.8.
Firefox is my default browser (up to date).
I check Add-ons Manager and get a notidfication that Mozilla has determined tha the plug-in (7.6.6) is vunerable and should be updated. I go to the link and get this message:
QuickTime Plugin 7.7.0 and lower (click-to-play), Mac OS X has been blocked for your protection.
I go tho the homepage (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/) and find nothing (no update; nothing is Spftware Update either).
Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to update this plug-in, and if so, how to get the version that is safe?
Thanks!

Quicktime has never been 'unsafe'. QT 7.7 was for Leopard.
Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
A Mac OS X v10.6, OS X Lion, and OS X Mountain Lion-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is available for use with older media or with AppleScript-based workflows. QuickTime Player 7 can be used to playback formats such as QTVR, interactive QuickTime Movies, and MIDI files. Also, it supports QuickTime 7 Pro registration codes for access to QuickTime Pro functionality.

  • Safari Quicktime plug-in is showing me a Q with question mark in the middle

    Safari Quicktime plug-in is showing me a Q with question mark in the middle.
    Anyone know what this could be about?
    Just upgraded to Quicktime Pro; then the Q-question started showing up as web pages were opened.
    Don't think my QT prefs changed inbetween un-pro and registration.
    TIA

    Hi Bill
    Welcome to Apple Discussion
    Several places to check
    Safari Preferences>Security>Web Content: 4 boxes selected
    System Preferences: Quicktime>Advanced settings:
    Enable flash ought to be checked
    - Mime Settings: still images - everything but Photoshop, Flash Pic and PDF selected; video - at least Quicktime Movie. Miscellaneous - nothing checked.
    Make sure your Flash plug-in is up-to-date. Latest version is 9.0.45. You can check your current version here.
    If you have an older version, download a current copy from here. If you need to install, Safari opens to an Adobe site after the install, confirming the installation worked correctly. Quit Safari and "repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder before you restart Safari.
    If you don't need to upgrade the Flash plug-in, still "repair permissions" to make sure permissions are up-to-date.

  • 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 Chrome under OSX: how to activate?

    How do I activate Quicktime plug-in on Chrome running under Yosemite?
    QuickTime is obviously installed on my Air because it runs e.g. with Safari.
    Surely I don't have to re-download QT?
    Chrome: Version 39.0.2171.95 (64-bit)
    Quick Time Player: version 10.4

    Thanks. 
    Since my first post, I found this related question on the Chrome discussion: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/chrome/chrome/pDZUWUXgKIQ
    An answer from the Chromium team is at https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=437565.
    Basically QT is 32-bit but Chrome is 64-bit and the Chromium team don't intend to fix it.

  • 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.

  • How can I select the Quicktime plug-in (in Firefox) as the Helper Application, as only programs out of the web browser are shown?

    I recently updated my QuickTime Plug-in (7.7.4) on Firefox 21. Prior to the update, I could open midi files in the Firefox and other browsers with a QuickTime Player. Now, I've got my Windows 7 computer asking how it should save or open the file. The QuickTime Plug-in is enabled and works with other types of files. If I open Tools, select Options, and select Applications, I do have the option of selecting "Use QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.4 (in Firefox)" for many file types. For the "Midi Sequence" type, it isn't an option, (only programs which open the midi files outside of the browser). Presently my only option is to use "Windows Media Player" as the default program, (opening midi files outside of the browser). "Mid file" allows the selection of the QuickTime Plug-in but still goes out of the Firefox browser to use the Windows Media Player, whether the file's extension is .mid or .midi
    Is these someplace I can find the "Use QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.4 (in Firefox)" with the "Browse" within my computer's files, or am I now stuck using the "Windows Media Player" when a plug-in should be able to do this simple task? I can watch YouTUbe (in Firefox) but cannot play a midi file (in Firefox)!

    QT 7.7.4 use "audio/mid" MIME type only and does not understand now "audio/midi" and "audio/x-midi" types commonly used on server side. Blame Apple for that.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About quicktime plug in "tab" freezes in IE7?

    http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/risebloodhunter/trailer/
    Can someone tell me if when clicking on the about quicktime plug in tab it freezes in IE7?
    On my computer it always freezes in IE7.
    This happends on Windowes Vista with Quicktime 7.1.6
    Apple needs to fix this ASAP!

    You're clicking on the downward pointing arrow at the end of the QuickTime controller?
    This is supposed to open a dialog window that shows the installed version of the QuickTime browser plug-in. Don't know why it crashes IE for you. It doesn't happen on my PC using IE 7 and XP.

  • No Quicktime plug-in??

    Since upgrading to an Intel-based MacBook Pro, it seems Safari can no longer view Quicktime movies, which is bizarre.
    I've deleted the plist, have reset the app., cleared the cache, run all sorts of maintenance programs, re-downloaded and re-installed the latest Quicktime update, but nothing seems to help. I continue to get the following message:
    "The page “Apple - QuickTime” has content of MIME type “video/quicktime”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Do you want to open the page?"
    Can someone help?

    Hi
    if you've used the "installed plug-ins" command from Safari's Help menu & see no mention of QT, then No, of course that isn't normal.
    You should see a section headed-
    QuickTime Plug-in 7.x.x
    The QuickTime Plugin allows you to view a wide variety of multimedia content in web pages. For more information, visit the QuickTime Web site. — from file “QuickTime Plugin.plugin”.
    then a long list of mime types that the plugin handles.
    So - assuming you don't see that, either the plugin is missing for some reason or there's a conflict that doesn't allow it to load.
    Take a look in your Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder - if you see any QT plugin or webplugin file there, remove them to the desktop or trash.
    Now look in HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ amongst other files, this should contain QuickTime Plugin.plugin
    IF you found a QT plugin in the Home account plugins folder & have removed it, you should quit any browsers & re-open them - hopefully you will now have QT functioning.
    IF you have no file 'QuickTime Plugin.plugin' then it seems something went wrong with the installation or a recent update.
    Anyway, let us know what you find out.

  • 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.

    Thank you for your time and trouble.

    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 7.1.6

    This update was recommened by Apple now it has shut down my iWeb site and I can't see anything with Quicktime - including the Quicktime site!
    I just see a message which says - attempted to load an Internet plug-in named “QuickTime Plug-In 7.1.6”, but the plug-in failed to load successfully.
    Very nice we are all chatting about this but what has Apple got to say?? Ever tried asking them????
    Not happy!

    So what have you done already to rectify the errors on your Mac?
    Have you tried reading the many threads in this forum offering solutions?

  • 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.
