Quicktime plug-in varies - help!!!

Hi,
Using the latest Quicktime installation. When I try to listen to a Midi file from here (click the midi link):
http://www.hamienet.com/midi23197.html
the file downloads itself immediately to my desktop and then plays in Quicktime. However, when I'm previewing loads of files, I don't want them all to be l=downloaded - I'd like to preview them in my browser using the QT plug-in - like this one (again, click the Listen link):
http://www.garyw0001.com/GMIDI/Cell_BlockD.html
This opens the file in my browser window and I can save it if I like.
Why does this occur and how can I force everything to be handled with the QT plug-in in my browser?
Thanks,
Russell

The link you've posted appears to use page code that will only properly work on a PC.
They've failed to close the "embed" tag which forces a Mac browser to download the file instead of playing it in a browser window.
They also use a Flash media version of the file and clicking on it does allow a browser based "preview" without the download.
Not many workarounds short of writing the proper html code.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Safari MP3 File: Native Player vs. QuickTime Plug-In

    Hi, everyone
    I noticed that if I directly go to the URL of some MP3s, Safari will load it in its default player. However, certain other MP3s are opened using the QuickTime Plug-In in Safari.
    I was wondering what causes the MP3s to be handled differently?
    Thanks a lot!

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Might be some help here for you...

  • 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.

  • Failed to load  "QuickTime Plug-In 7.3.1", OS 10.4.11/QT 7.3.1

    Attempted to access QT media via Safari in OS 10.4.11/QT 7.3.1 and received error message: The page “http://qtsx.odysseyisp.net/mps/Introduction.mov” attempted to load an Internet plug-in named “QuickTime Plug-In 7.3.1”, but the plug-in failed to load successfully. I do not know why. This works perfectly on my MacBook Intel but not on my iMac G5 or this machine. HELP!

    Apple Discussions!
    You posted a bad link. It should be:
    http://qtsx.odysseyisp.net/mps/Introduction.mov
    Since I also have a G5 iMac I tested the link using FireFox, Netscape & Camino-the latest versions. Sorry, I do not use Safari. Had no problems viewing the video. Sound & picture came in quite clearly.
    Which version of Safari are you using?
    Have you tried using another browser? If the problem only appears in Safari, it may just be Safari's problem & not QT.
    Did you repair permissions & restart after you updated QT?

  • What QuickTime plug-ins do I need?

    I have a Microsoft file format MP4S (which is apparently MPEG 4) that I need to open in QuickTime.
    Can anyone suggest what QuickTime Plug-In in necessary to open this file.
    Many Thanks
    Marv

    Thanks Colin & others,
    I finally resolved the issue.
    Here is a synopsis of the problem & the solution that worked for me. I should add this Forum (and several other friends who helped) never cease to be a wonderful source of ideas & support. Grateful thanks to them.
    The test file was 30 seconds of colour bars (PAL) recorded as HD 1080p and the file was encoded by a default Microsoft MPEG-4 format called MP4S with a resolution of 720x576.
    Ultimately I needed to be able to import the file into Final Cut Pro V.6 for editing & so the file needed to be transcoded into a QuickTime supported format.
    VLC was the only software I found capable of opening this file as QT would not. When I attempted to open it, a QuickTime dialogue box responded - This file is not a movie file.
    After a long search an application called VisualHub
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/visualhub.html
    offered the ability to transcode the existing format which was MP4S to H.264 (also MPEG-4). QuickTime was then able to open this new file & subsequently importing it into Final Cut Pro was made easy.
    I love happy endings. Thanks to all.
    Kind Regards,
    Marv

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
