  • Quicktime symbol with a question mark????

    i cant view anything that is supported by quicktime on the web including simple animations. in everythings place that used to be a movie, etc is now the quicktime symbol with a questiion mark in it. what should i do?

    The problem, according to Apple Techs I spoke to today, is Safari, not QuickTime:
    I created a podcast in GarageBand back in October 2006 and published it to iTunes as well as my .Mac site via iWeb. All worked fine until a few months ago when I started getting the blue QuickTime 'Q' and a question mark each time I tried to download it from the web site. QuickTime error message said I needed the latest update - which I already had. I tried accessing it from a Mac in an Apple Store and got the same message. But several friends - PC users - told me they had no problem downloading the QuickTime video from my web site. And other Mac users had no problems downloading the podcast from iTunes. I asked an associate in the Apple Store and he downloaded Firefox on to one of their Macs and the QuickTime video opened with no problem from the web site. The original file on my Mac opened up fine when I opened it in QuickTime independently of Safari.
    I called Apple Tech Support and they got the same results when opening from various sources. The problem "appears to be Codec related but in Safari recognizing the plugin."
    Apple called back today (07/09/07) and told me today the problem has been recognized by Engineering and they are working on an update for Safari to fix the problem.

  • Quicktime 7 has a Question Mark Why?

    I have a mac G5 with quickTime 7, I have been trying to view video from the lynda.com web site and I keep getting a ? in the quicktime logo and nothing happens, I re installed to the most recent version of quicktime and still the same thing Nothing, this mac is running Tiger

    I had no problems viewing any of the videos from the link you posted. Nice videos BTW.
    Make sure you have the following installed:
    RealPlayer
    Flip4Mac
    VLC Media Player
    Perian (AVI and FLV support)
    Adobe Flash Player Software
    Repair permissions and restart your computer after the installations.
    =================
    Your OS is outdated by a few years. Strongly suggest that you update to OS 10.4.11.

  • QuickTime Won't Load (Question Mark on Symbo)

    I have Quicktime 7.0 installed.
    On any web site that uses Quicktime, all that I see is the Q symbol with a question mark. The video will not play.

    add me to the list. All was fine before Quicktime updated to 7.0
    I get the big Q with question mark when I try to enter any chat rooms...
    seems quicktime has hijacked swf files... the only fix I've found is to uninstall Quicktime. BUT...The problem is that iTunes requires Quicktime to run.
    I have spent hours troubleshooting this. I wish someone from the Quicktime tech support could post a fix.
    Thanks

  • Quicktime 7.2 - The Question Mark Question

    Yes I know there are numerous posts with this same issue and I believe me have read them all. I've patiently followed every tip I've read in many discussions. Reinstalled Quicktime. Installed Flash 9 Upgrade. Changed Quicktime settings (unchecked enable flash, unchecked Flash Media under MIME settings). Trashed Quicktime preferences. Etc...
    However in Safari, on upon trying to open any movie trailer on the Quicktime web site
    http://www.apple.com/trailers/
    or even watch the iLife 08 guided tour
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/guidedtour/small.html
    I get a Quicktime logo with a question mark. In Firefox (which I've also reinstalled) it quits unexpectedly when trying to open a movie trailer.
    In my own experiments, I've opened another admin account on my computer and when I log in there, everything works fine. You say "well just use that account then", that would mean me having to transfer all my files to the other account which I don't want to do unless someone has a really quick way to do so.
    Also, in checking the system preferences for Quicktime under both accounts, I don't see any difference. Both accounts are accessing the same applications from the root level Applications folder, so why does it work in one account and not the other? Someone help, as I don't think I can read another 10 page discussion on this. Thanks in advance.

    doval66 & teeray,
    To The Apple Discussion Boards!
    Both of you are buried in someone elses ANSWERED thread. Therefore, I strongly suggest that you both start a new topic about your issue so it can receive more focused attention.
    However, in the meantime both should do the following before reposting:
    At the top right of this site you will see Search Discussions.
    In the blank search window w/the magnifying glass in the left corner type Quicktime and question mark.
    You will then find several troubleshooting solutions pertaining to your issue for you to try out.
    To teeray: I also use FF. However, you do not indicate which version you are using. Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software
    Good luck both of you!

  • Hello, mac mini will not boot. I get a file symbol with a question mark, then a white screen, Hello, mac mini will not boot. I get a file symbol with a question mark, then a white screen

    Hello, My mac mini will not boot. When I turn it on, I get the chime, then the white screen, then the apple symbol, then a file symbol with a question mark, then the white screen and then it stays like that.
    Is this a bad hard drive?

    Sounds like it.  Try booting from your OSX restore DVDs - startup and hold down "C".  This will take AGES! Then run Disk Utility from the menu. 
    The flashing ? means your system is corrupt, dead, not there, on a dying HD, etc...

  • Word wont open at all as it has a question mark in the backround

    i have a macbook pro notebook and have been using microsoft word without any issues until today.It wont open up at all when i click on it it dont even jump and has a question mark behind it.What can i do to rectify the problem?

    These question marks are on your dock? And you can't open applications from your dock?
    If so, try this: Open a new finder window and navigate to the Applications folder in your hard disk. The applications in question should still be in there (the Applications folder). So drag each of the application icons that you want to be available on your dock from the Applications folder onto your dock, one by one. Take each of your question mark icons that are on the dock and drag them off the dock to get rid of them. See if that fixes you up.
    Now, if your hard disk no longer has an Applications folder in it, or the Applications folder is empty, you are going to have to reinstall OS 10.6 then do a software update to bring you back up to OS 10.6.8. You may be able to just go to the "optional installs" folder on the installer DVD and maybe all the stock applications are there -- I don't remember and I don't have an installer DVD handy to look. That would be way easier than doing a full blown OS reinstall. Also, as I recall, if OS 10.6 was on the computer when you bought it from the store, I think there should be an "extras" DVD that has a handful of applications that could be reinstalled from it, too.

  • IPhoto has a question mark over it. Wont open! Help?

    iPhoto has a question mark over it. Wont open! It is completely inaccessible. How can i restore this to my computer and get my pics back?

    iPhoto has a question mark over it.
    You mean in the Dock?  Then the Dock icon is no longer linked to the application.
    Did you upgrade MacOS X, so iPhoto is no longer compatible?
    If you moved or deleted iPhoto, reinstall it. It will depend on your iPhoto version and MacOS X version, how to reinstall.
    If your profile signature ""OS X (10.6.8)" is still valid, reinstall iPhoto from your system install disks, if iPhoto came preinstalled on your Mac, or from your iLife install disks.
    If you already upgraded to Yosemite, you can reinstall iPhoto from the App Store.

    Try this.
    Erase and Reinstall OS X
    Note: This will delete all data on the disk. Back up important files before continuing.
    Erasing and then reinstalling OS X can give you a fresh start, making your computer exactly as it was whenever you received it from Apple. This can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
    Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
    Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
    Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
    Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads.
    Select Disk Utility and then choose Continue.
    Select your startup disk (Macintosh HD by default) from the left.
    Select the Erase tab.
    Choose the Format pop-up menu and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled), enter a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
    After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
    Select Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
    Follow the instructions.
    I hope I solved your question.

  • My system disk icon has a question mark in it and does not open now

    my system disk icon has a question mark in it and does not open now
    and my devices name is gone when i click on FINDER, my favourites is there with the following listed under it-
    ALL MY FILES
    AIRDROP
    APPLICATIONS
    DESKTOP
    DOCUMENTS and under documents was the DEVICES word with my Macintosh under it, this is missing... what have i done

    Somehow you've managed to delete it.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

    I cannot open my photo booth, the photo booth icon has a question mark on it. I have been using my photo booth without any problems before, what do I do please.

    You move it back to the Applications folder or reinstall it from your OS install disk, using Pacifist if needed.

  • Pictures from different sites doesnt show, it has small question mark sign at the center, why???? Please help.

    Please help, i cant see any pictures on any web pages, it has small question mark at the center only.

    Move the photos from the Trash bin in iPhoto onto the Library icon to get them back in their proper events.  Then check the thumbnails to see if they are still behaving the same.  If they are  make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • QuickTime logo with a question mark on it

    Some websites i go to show a picture or video instead a faint quicktime logo with a question mark shows up. How do I get rid of it and show the picture or video instead?

    I find it interesting that this is clearly a topic of interest since 450 people have clicked on it---significantly more than the other questions on this page---and yet, NO ANSWER.
    I have not been able to download Apple trailers. For instance, just went to a link to download the trailer for You Kill Me:
    http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/youkillme/
    Click on Medium size for the screen, so I go here:
    http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/youkillme/medium.html
    A little button says you have to have version 7 of Quicktime which I keep downloading, since I keep trying to see trailers.
    Although I know I've downloaded this software in the past, I'm getting the crazy Quicktime Q with a question mark.
    So I go so far as to download Quicktime 7, yet again, then Restart. Try the movie. Still get the question mark in the Q.
    What is up with this??????
