Quicktime won't play in any browser

Until recently quicktime played fine on all my internet browswers then somthing unknown happened so that In all browsers I get a quicktime question mark and nothing will play. This happens in all my browsers so that it must be something to do with my Mac. I have a Mac G4 10.3.9.

What version Quicktime?
No question that the content is QT and not Windows Media Player, right?
Have you checked the settings in the system preferences and does everything look good?
Are movies set to play automatically? Have you tried different web sites with QT content to rule out the website as being faulty?
Have you tried to launch QT first, and then open the url from the file menu?
If not, do that first and if nothing changes, then it may seem silly, but I'd once again repair permissions, and I'd also run the disk repair while booted from the #1 CD.
Or download Onyx (free) and run it.
Report back.....good luck!

  • Videos won't play in any browser

    Just recently, videos won't play in any browser...Safari, Firefox. etc. It seems to happen with .wmv files. I reinstalled media player, but still have the problem.
    I get this message.
    "Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again"

    First, check that Windows Media Player is set as the correct plug in - in Safari, go to help/installed plug ins. There should be a section marked 'Windows Media Player' showing 'application/x-mplayer2' and listing wmv files (amongst others).
    Sometimes these arrors are caused by DNS failures. Ensure your system is fully up to date, and enter your ISP's DNS server IP addresses (usually two of them, sometimes three) in the 'DNS servers' box on the TCP page of the Network preference pane.
    The DNS server IPs are usually supplied with the ISP's initial set up documentation, or located on the ISP's help page.
    The reason it could be a problem is that in many iterations of MacOS X, the system is extremely sensitive to how quickly a DNS search responds. DNS is the process whereby a user-provided URL is converted into the correct IP address for internet lookup, so if the video source is held on a different server and the DNS process doesn't return a valid IP address in time, you would then get an error of the sort you describe.

  • Embedded videos won't play on any browser (youtube will, though)

    Hi all, I'm at my wits end.  I have a fairly new computer running Windows 7 64 bit OS.   The problem is with non-Youtube embedded videos.  Flash has been playing them only on IE up until today, now it won't work in any browser (including Chrome).  (Youtube seems to work fine, embedded or not)  As an example, when looking at Facebook, any embedded Youtube video plays just fine, but all other videos only give me the black rectangle of doom.  I've just spent three hours following all the instructions here:  I've uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted the registry key in these instructions.   I've disabled ad blocking and turned off my only antivirus program (Microsoft Security Essentials).  I've tried downloading Flash Player using every browser and both 32 and 64 bit versions of the browsers.  Nothing makes the embedded videos play.  The Flash version I have is 11.6.602.171 and the little movie with the ball going by the screen shows fine, and the correct OS is showing.  I'm baffled and out of ideas.  Thanks for any help!

  • Embedded video won't play in any browser

    I have had a problem for a long time of videos on certain websites not playing on my MacBook Pro. I have the latest Lion OS update as well as the latest Flash update. I never have a problem with Youtube and most video plays fine but some websites, like for instance, news sites will not respond. I get a black screen with no controls or anythiing. Now I am having this problem with a site called MailChimp. I use FIrefox but it will not play in either Safari or Chrome. There must be some other people who have encountered this same problem. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

  • Certain web sites won't load on any browser on Macbook Pro

    Starting yesterday certain web sites won't load on any browser (Safari or Chrome). These include sites like the New England Journal of Medicine, Washington Post, and English Bulldog News. I get an error message in Safari that the server took too long to respond and in Chrome I get a connection timeout error message. I updated Adobe Flash with a clean install as I was unable to update using the standard method due to connection timeout. That restored my access to YouTube video but today it takes ~2 minutes to load a YT video. Web sites are loading fine on my phone and household PCs.
    Not sure if it is notable that my internet loading capacity has been very slow for some time. I worked with the internet company to increase the network speed but my computer has not seen benefit. No problems on the PCs in our house but my Macbook very frequently gets partially "kicked-off" the network as indicated by yellow lights seen next to the "internet" and "server" items in my Network Diagnostics utility.
    I looked at old threads and ran EtreCheck (see results copied below) as was recommended to another user several months ago, but would appreciate any thoughts about where to go from here. Could it be malware? Or just a classic case of operator error? Here are the EtreCheck "red" items extracted from the full report below:

  • Videos not playing in any browser

    I've got a 2.6 Gig Macbook Pro Retina running 10.9.2.
    Videos aren't playing in any browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox). On youtube for example, the page will load, but the spinning wheel won't stop.
    I've tried restarting, uninstalling/reinstalling Flash, reinstalling browsers, repairing disk permissions, restarting my router/modem, but still nothing.
    Strangely, if I click an embedded youtube link, it will still sometimes work.

    hello vinay64, this is probably a problem in connection with the recent update of adobe's flash plugin (IE and chrome get supplied with a different variant of the plugin of adobe), please refer to the following article for common solutions: [[Flash 11.3 crashes or does not load in Firefox 13]]

  • I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?

    I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?

    I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?
    Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
    Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
    Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
    You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
    In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
    1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
    2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
    3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

  • MP4 files won't play in mobile browser?

    I have a media file, MP4, which plays fine on desktop browsers.  But on the iPhone4 and on Android 2.2 mobile devices this media file won't play within the browser.  I get a broken link where the embedded video should be playing.  I am using proper object/embed tags per a previous successful attempt I made doing this and I cross referenced my classid to one that was posted online to make sure I didn't miss any syntax.  What could be going wrong?  Did I encode the mp4 incorrectly?  If so, then why does a 3gp file that I rendered FROM the broken mp4 play within the mobile devices without a hitch?
    Sincerely,
    markerline

    Are you sure you have Photoshop Elements 8 and not Photoshop Premier elements 8?  I would have thought that MP4 files can be played in Premier elements (PE) rather than Photoshop elements (PSE).  PSE is for photos and PE is for movies and videos.
    Perhaps you could try installing the trial version of PE13 to see if anything changes.  I am not into movies and all that so my answer is just a guess work.

  • Quicktime won't play my .mov files since I upgraded to Mavericks.

    Quicktime won't play my .mov files, even those from an iPhone, since I installed Mavericks.  "Tell Me More" doesn't tell me anything about a solution.  Any suggestions?

    What do I do?
    Frankly, if you have deleted the original movie clips from your camera/camcorder and iPhoto, then it sounds as if you are up the proverbial creek without a paddle and there is nothing further that you can do.
    Some facts:
    For some reason, the movieclips are awful small (13-30 KB).
    640 x 480
    Codecs: H.264, AAC
    While these facts are of little value without file duration information, as you yourself have already noted, the file sizes quoted are extremely small. A typical VGA H.264/AAC file of reasonable quality would normally have a combined total data rate in the 700 to 1,700 Kbps range depending on specific settings, profile, and level of the encoding software and could be even higher or lower depending on the quality levels required. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that files in the 13 to 30 KB range only contain 104 to 240 Kbs and either have durations measured in fractions of seconds or do not actually contain enough data to be played. (E.g., the video data may be missing or the file is corrupted.) Thus, it is most likely that something was wrong with the workflow used to "export" your files to the external drive and when you ignored the fact that the files were not playing correctly, you closed the door on anything that you could do when you deleted the source files. (I.e., the normal workflow here is to copy the entire iPhoto library to the external drive, switch libraries, confirm the new library is working properly and only then delete the boot drive copy of the iPhoto library.)
    OBS: When I try to convert the files into something else (AVI, MP4 whatever) either it comes with an error, nothing happens or the converted file wont open. This happens with various convert-programs.
    If the data in the files is missing, then there is nothing to be converted by any application.

  • .3g2 files won't play in any media player

    Hello.
    Ever since we updated to OS X Mavericks, any old .3g2 files won't play in any media player on our iMac. When we go to play them, they play button in QuickTime just flashes from pause to play and then back to pause and and nothing happens. I'm not sure if this file type is becoming outdated and therefore is not compatible with the new OS X, but I am just curious if anyone knows if there is a way to fix this.
    Thanks.

    Did you try VLC?

  • Flash Player won't work on any browser! Help!

    Hi!
    I can't get any videos to play in any browser (Internet explorer, Chrome or Firefox). I can only play videos from Youtube and Netflix but no other videos or rich media content works.
    I have literally tried everything that is recommended on the Flash Player Help page.
    I've updated and re-installed Flash Player a million times.
    I've updated and re-installed all my web browsers.
    I enabled and disabled Active-X.
    I enabled Flash Player on Chrome through chrome://plugins
    I disabled background apps.
    I turned off my firewall.
    I checked for viruses.
    And I googled the problem on a ton of other sites, followed other users' instructions to fix the issue, and still no luck.

    I need Flash Player to do assignments online and I haven't been able to do them all week. Please help ASAP!
    Thank you!

    I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are available. How do I get my computer and other devices to be able to play these songs? Almost all  my songs play except for about 8 or 9.

    If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    Hi,
    Have you tried a reset?
    This solves a lot of these problems, and I'm not sure if this will work in your case, but give it a try. You hold down the sleep and home buttons at the same time. A slider will appear. Ignore it and keep holding both buttons down. After about 15 seconds the Apple logo will appear. See if that helps.
    You will not lose anything on your ipad when you do a reset. (A restore is a whole other issue!)
    The following link addresses your issue and offers some other possible solutions.
