Quicktime wont play video ANY VIDEO and I cant fix it

I have downloaded all of the software on the quicktime website and it still wont play any of my videos. all of my stuff has different extensions and i have tried a ton of varieties of them but still nothing.
Does anyone know what i could use to fix this.
I have been looking in the forms all day but i cant find any suggested software at all.
Please Email me at [email protected]
This is not what i expected from apple or any of its products.

What is the format or file extension you're trying to open via QuickTime Player?
QT can open dozens of file formats and sometimes you need third party components or codecs to view non supported formats.

  • Quicktime 7 wont play h.264 video??? how can i change that?

    Hey there
    I just tried to open a avi file in imovie and noticed that i could not import it. so i opened it with quicktime, but all it does is pop up a screen telling me, that a certain codec is missing.
    I would get that codec if i only knew which one.
    The weird thing is, that the avi file i try to open is in H.264. it's a HD video-file.
    Also, opening it with VLC is no problem, but as i wanted to edit/cut the video-file, i need to be able to open it with iMovie...
    I'm running OS X Leopard, 10.5.8, all updates installed, iLife 09, Quicktime Version 7.6.4 Pro...
    The info on the video-file i can get is the following:
    Format: "h264", 1920x1080, Millions
    FPS: 105.20
    Data Rate: 28.57 mbits/s
    Any help on this one???...Im a little desperate tbh!
    THANKS in advance

    ok, i uninstalled them... still no video, just audio.
    yes...i can watch them with vlc, but my intention was to open them in iMovie, so I can edit/cut it... iMovie wont recognize the file as importable, thats when I realized thet Quicktime wont play it either!
    So I figured, that once i get Quicktime to recognize it, iMovie should rec it too.
    So my current situation. audio: ok, video: nothing
    btw. its an .avi file. It came off of my toshiba cam
    any ideas?
    thanks in advance

  • I made a movie with iMovie and cannot get the audio when I burn into dvd. I would like to transfer video to a dvd to be played in any computer and TV

    Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty.  That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

    If there is an item in there drag it out.

    Go to Adobe.com........
    If you can see their site...it about 99.9%, you have the flash plug-in...But, for lack of doing anything else... re-install the flash plug-in...At one point in installing the plug-in, make sure you close out all bowsers.....

  • My iphone 5c wont play sound on videos or music on certain occasions. why?

    Ive had my phone 5c for just over a year now and recently it wont play sound on music and videos on certain occasions. i have done all the updates possible to do on it and this has made no difference. tried turning it on/off and that doesnt work. any ideas/?

    Hello atbruner,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that you'd like your videos taken on your iPhone to be automatically synced to your other devices via iCloud.  Photo Stream will only sync your photos between your devices, however Apple recently introduced the iCloud Photo Library beta which will sync all of the content taken on your devices.  To learn more about these items, please take a look at the articles below.
    Which photo formats does My Photo Stream support?
    My Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. My Photo Stream doesn't work with video.

  • Firefox 3.6.3 wont play embedded youtube videos. It comes up with "an error occured please try again later. this happens all the time

    Firefox 3.6.3 wont play embedded youtube videos. It comes up with "an error occurred please try again later. this happens all the time. If you click to go to youtube the clip plays.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I was having the same issue up until I found a solution myself a few minutes ago. If you have "Accept Third Party Cookies" un-checked it will not allow the embedded "Third party" youtube videos to load. You can either Check the box to allow third party cookies or add an exception to allow youtube.com WITHOUT the www. You just want it to be Youtube.Com.
    To do so just go to Tools: Options: Privacy: Exceptions: Type in Youtube.com and click Allow. Then click Close and OK. It should start working immediately.

  • New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens?  The iPod does nothing?  It skips to the next song?
    It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem.  The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
    NOTE:  There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues.  It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

  • Quicktime wont play my movie

    quicktime wont play my video cd's. when i drag and drop... it says there is an error opening it up.

    Quicktime has it's limitations and can't, natively, play certain video formats.
    Try VLC.  It should be able to play anything you throw at it.

  • QuickTime wont play .mov file

    Does anyone know why QuickTime wont play a .mov file from an iLearn 08 training DVD. It would not import into iMovie, which is what the file was for, iMovie training. When I try to play it tells me that QuickTime does not have the software to play the clip then directs me to the quick time components page. The file has a 1920X1080 dimension and it has a HDV 1080i60, Integer (Big Endian) codec. I have downloaded various codec packages for quicktime such as flip4mac, perian, etc. Can any one help me out?

    Hi,
    I actually did contact the publisher and they were very helpful. Here is a copy of the email they sent me. It should solve your problem. Good luck!
    Thank you for contacting Peachpit Press. We apologize for the errors with
    these files. The QuickTime clips used in chapters 5 and 6 were encoded by
    the author using the HDV 1080i60 codec. iMovie 08 only works with the 1080i
    codec. At the time this book shipped, iMovie 08 was not available for
    testing.
    New files are available at peachpit.com here:

    I tried downloading a free app and it asked for my billing information and when I entered it, it said that there was a billing problem with a previous purchase and I have to update it. I keep updating it and it wont let me verify it and I cant get any apps even if they are free, and I just Deleted some apps to make room for my new upate!

    The message says: "The payment method has been denied, try another method"
    I'm living in the same country and city since I was born, so I don't think the location is the problem.
    And yes, I paid with the card a meal in Burguer King today. And nothing more.
