QuickTime updated messed up Safari !!!

Yesterday I updated my QuickTime plugin. But now not only am I unable to view Flash plugin sites with Safari, but I'm also unable to view them with Firefox.
I just get a big "Q" (QuickTime trademark) when I try to view a Flash etc. I'm really annoyed Apple are making updates that keep messing up computers. This never happened until 2 months ago. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem so I can continue view sites with Flash plugins.

Reinstalling Flash plugin tends no to work.
I got web browsers to show Flash based content again by removing one of the QuickTime plugins from the Internet-plugins folder.
Thanks for the advice.

  • QuickTime update disabling iTunes, Safari

    Is no one else having the same problems I am? Upgrading to QuickTime 7.6 wreaked all kinds of connectivity havoc on my laptop:
    - iTunes could no longer connect to the iTunes store
    - Safari could no longer connect to ANYTHING (really, no URLs led anywhere)
    - Firefox could connect to sites, but couldn't download
    - Of the 3 Dashboard widgets that connect to the Internet, only 1 kept working (Remember the Moof and Movies stopped connecting)
    I couldn't find any way to fix the problem. I had to revert to a full backup.

    After installing QT 7.6 via automatic update on my MacBook Pro, the only issue I've seen is erratic mouse behaviour. That is, mouse movements aren't as smooth as they were.
    On my Mac Pro however, I can no longer access the interweb or any other computers on my home network. And yes, mouse movements are no longer as smooth as they were before.
    I shouldn't have revert to doing a full system restore to resolve this issue.
    Thoughts?

    after lion 10.7.3 update messed my mac had to restore from time machine now Outlook won't connect with microsoft exchange, any idea?

    I've had a similar problem.  On my first boot up after installing 10.7.4,  Firefox would not open.  Crashed every time.  Safari was not affected.  I have no idea if it was related to the flash plugin, but I did install a the latest version of that a couple of weeks ago. 
    Here's what fixed it: a second boot up.

  • File vault home folder becomes ejectable after QuickTime update

    I have two user personalities on my Mac - an administrator and a normal user.
    The normal user has an encrypted home directory using FileVault.
    I just installed Apple's 9/9/08 QuickTime update and the updater seems to have destroyed a few things. I ran the update from inside the user personality, typing in the admin password.
    After the restart, my home folder is now ejectable. That was the first curious sign.
    Also, no browser other than Safari works any more. I also have Camino and Firefox on this machine and both can no longer be started. This seems to be related to the QuickTime updater and I assume it is related to running the updater from a non-admin account...
    So how do I get my system back to normal? It is very puzzling and potentially dangerous having the "eject" button next to your home directory....
    Michael

    looks like you have a number of problems. the best would be to restore your system from a backup to a point before the update. if you don't have a backup you should first of all start backing up. no idea what's wrong with your browsers but for the filevault I would first restart and see if the problem remains. if it does I would try turning filevault off/on. You need quite a bit of free space to do it - at least as much as your home directory holds and then some.

  • Quicktime Plugin Issue in Safari on Mac OSX Lion.

    (Strange) Safari - Quicktime - issue on Mac OSX Lion (All Updates done - 20/11/2011)
    Strange issue with Safari - Quicktime video playing - on Mac OSX Lion (All updates done till 20th Nov 2011 night)
    Problem discovery: Tried to view the Apple iPhone 4S Keynote on Apple Website. Strange that Safari does not display any videos from Apple Website.
    Following works OK:- You Tube worked fine.
    - Google Chrome worked fine. (It shows the quick time player loading and then displays the video absolutely fine.)
    Conclusion: There is some problem with Safari Quicktime Plug-in.
    Strange Discovery:
    - There are two users on the MAC. Logged in with a general user (Non Admin)
    - When tried to view Apple Videos on Safary ... THEY WORKED FINE !!! 
    - The user where they donot work is an ADMIN User ... Strange !!!
    System:
    - Mac-Mini 2010 - 8 GB RAM - with OSX Lion fully software updated until 20th Nov 2011 night.
    - DIVX is installed and is also a paid version - registered with DIVX website.
    - VLC is installed.
    - Perian was installed - after problem discovery - uninstalled it - no use.
    Please help with a solution if anyone has faced and solved this problem. Sub question is : If DIVX / anyother plug-in causes problems with QuickTime plugin on Safari, why does it affect only one user on the system and not other users on that system ?
    Notes:
    1) There is a similar looking thread on MacRumors here but concluded that required to start a seperate one with clear problem statement.
    2) Apple Forums
    (a) One thread on topic that hints that some 3IVX plug-in can cause issues with Safari Quicktime Plugin: here
    (b) Another thread from Apple Forum, that hints that DIVX causes problems to Safari Quicktime Plug in, Link is Here

    Refer to a thread on Apple Discussions Forum itself, Link is HERE; refer to the posting by "Charles Cole",

    Charles writes about DIVX and QuickTime Plugin conflict in Safari:
    One thing I've discovered that might help anyone having a Quicktime Plug-in issue. If you have DivX as a codec on your system (usually installed to play .avi files) you'll want to uninstall it so that Sarfari 5.1 will default to the Quicktime Plug-In and not the DivX plug-in. Otherwise, you can't see Quicktime movies in Safari.
    Note: this post is about and at the time of OSX Lions launch, i.e. 10.7.0.
    Now we have 10.7.2, still cannot believe Apple has not fixed this bug !!!

  • Quicktime movies playing in Safari 4

    Hi, when I used to watch Quicktime playable movies in Safari's web browser such as .mpg .avi .wmv I used to be able to save them as I have Quicktime Pro but since updating to Safari 4 I have not seen the small downward arrow to the bottom right of the movie that allows me to save files.
    Also the Quicktime bar appears and disappears when I move the cursor over the movie and I cannot control the volume of the movie any more.
    What has happened, why has it changed?
    I tried on two different Macs running Safari 4.
    Any help would be great cheers

    Thanks; but, maybe the below link is better to illustrate my issue:
    http://www.farzadsf1gallery.com/f1_sounds/F1Ferrari1.mp3
    and
    http://www.farzadsf1gallery.com/f1sounds/brmv16.mp3
    I use to be able to download and save this clip via Quicktime drop-down menu on the far right-hand side; since the upgrade to Safari 4 the drop-down menu is not present. I'm not trying to be a pain, but, I actual spent money for the Quicktime Pro to save mp3/skateboard video/uTube clips etc. I hope you can help.

  • Software Update messed up my printer connection.

    OS: 10.3.9 Powerbook 17"
    So I click Software Update and update some software (Quicktime 7.0.4, Safari, and iTunes). I restart, and now I cannot print to my laser printer. At first, I couldn't even connect to my Airport -- it said my password was incorrect! I only have one password. I repair permissions, restarted, and that fixed my Airport connection, but not my printing.
    My printer is an HP LaserJet 1022n. My wife's iMac G5 and my 17" Powerbook are hooked up to a network, and we share the printer. I can still print from her computer... I can EVEN print from MY laptop if I choose the printer as "shared from her computer" -- but I can no longer print from my set-up.
    I don't get it. I have dumped preferences, reinstalled drivers, repair permissions, installed Gimp-print, tried IP printing -- nothing. At best, I tried IP prining, but it says 10.0.1.4 is "busy". I don't know why.
    Any suggestions??
    PowerBook 1.67mHz 17 and iMac G5 20   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Try the download 10.3.9 Combination Updater and re-update OS X.

  • Quicktime update help

    Hi
    i just did a update to the new version of quicktime. now when i try to open it i get this the procedure entry point.cfunichargetnumberofplanesforunicodepropertydata could not be located in the dynamic link library qtc f.dll can anyone please tell me how to fix this?
    i have windows vista home premium sp2 32bit
    thank you

    We'll try an extension of Insanegi's advice next, Kevin. This time we'll uninstall both *Apple Application Support* and QuickTime. (QuickTime needs a properly working version of Apple Application Support in place in order to work correctly.) When we reinstall QuickTime, that then should also reinstall Apple Application Support. We'll also take a few other explicit precautions.
    *Preliminary phase*
    First download and save a copy of the QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.) Get the version of the QuickTime installer that doesn't mention iTunes.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Now quit Safari if you have it open. (The 4.0.4 version of Safari also uses Apple Application Support, and will interfere with the Apple Application Support uninstall if it is open.)
    *Uninstall phase*
    Head into your "Uninstall a program" control panel.
    Uninstall QuickTime.
    Uninstall Apple Application Support.
    (Fron now on, until we reinstall Apple Application Support, your Safari 4.0.4 (if you have that installed) will no longer be able to launch.)
    Next we'll remove any left-over QuickTime or Apple Application Support program files.
    In "Computer", navigate into the C:\Program Files\ folder. Right-click on the QuickTime folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    In "Computer" navigate into the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ folder. Right-click on the *Apple Application Support* folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    In "Computer" navigate into the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Check to see if there is a QuickTime file or a QuickTimeVR file. If either of them still exist, right-click on each and select "Delete".
    Empty your recycle bin.
    *Reinstall phase*
    Restart the PC. (If iTunes is installed on the PC, you'll probably receive a message at this stage saying that iTunes will not run because Apple Application Support is missing. Click through the message.)
    Do not open any applications.
    Disconnect from your network and/or the Internet.
    Disable all security software (firewall, antivirus and antispyware).
    Now start the QuickTime install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier. (This install will also reinstall Apple Application Support.)
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    Does the install seem to go through properly? If so, try launching QuickTime again. Does it launch without the error message this time?

  • What are "Apple software updates"? Where is "iTunes & QuickTime" update?

    When starting iTunes today, I got the box asking if I wanted to install 10.4. I clicked yes then got the big box that I've seen many times. It usually has MobileMe, iTunes & QuickTime, and an offer to install Safari. Today, and recently, I haven't seen the "iTunes & QuickTime" update option; it's been replaced by something like "Apple software updates." Today it was version 2.... Previously, I haven't gone ahead with the "Apple software updates" because I don't know what this consists of and it looks suspicious to me. Today, I again quit instead of updating "Apple software."

    Thanks for the reply.
    I've had iTunes since 2007 and don't recall "Apple software update" 'till recently. Perhaps the reason I've seen the message several times now, and again today, is that I've not installed it. It would then make sense to prompt me today before going ahead with the 10.4 update. Make sense to you?
    Actually, from what I've seen on the forum today, I expect another iTunes update very soon, so I think I'll wait.

    I downloaded an update for my Safari web browser to "snow leopard". When I click on the .dmg file, a window opens up with a .pkg file but when I click on the .pkg file I get a prompt saying that it doesn't know what program to open it with.

    I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

  • Videos take a long time to open after the last quicktime update

    Hey guys
    Since I've downloaded the latest quicktime update videos are taking a very long time to open. They used to open instantly and now they take about 40 seconds (negligable difference if quicktime is already open or not).
    This is with a Powermac G4 1.25Ghz with 2GB RAM running 10.4.10 and all latest updates.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I'd suggest tracing system activity when this long runtime issue occurs, so you could know where this time is spent (db access ? etc) ... a plain SM50 call in parallel could do the trick if runtime is long enough !

  • Quicktime update fixes arrange

    when expanding the arrange the playhead didn't stay at the same place.
    i was working and in the meantime updating quicktime, after the restart the problem that is around since logic 8 is fixed.
    now the playhead stays where it belongs.
    great!!

    that is freakin hilarious man,
    actually after running updates on my machine, it shows as a macpro quad core with 3 TB hd space, and I noticed a emergence of Apogee Symphony rack in the corner of my room
    just kiddin with you guys, I hope that you are right, but I doubt that the quicktime update has anything to do with anything.
    cheers

  • After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

    After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

    The problem is with version 10.4.1.  I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work.  The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me.  Here was their list of steps:
    Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
    2.  Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
         a. iTunes
         b. QuickTime
         c. Apple Software Update
         d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
         e. Bonjour
         f.  Apple Appllcation Support
    3.  Reboot PC
    4.  Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
    If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes.  To correct this:
    5.  Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
    6.  Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
    7.  Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
    8.  Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date.  It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
    9.  Reboot PC

    and NEVER do a software update unless you've got a clone of your startup drive so you can restore your system to it's working state if something goes wrong.
