Safari 3 & QuickTime issues

Still having problems getting Safari 3 to play nice with Quicktime. Most of the time I'm still getting the dreaded "?" for sites with QT. Sometimes reloading the site will work, about 1 out of 5 times. I've got a fresh copy of Safari and with new plist too. Downloaded and reinstalled QT 7.3. Have no Input Managers, in either folder, and no hacks at all. Everything I've tried makes it work for a few times and then back to the "?"
Any suggestions on what to try next?

Quicktime with a ? refers to Flash video.
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11.
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

ITunes skipping during audio while browsing the web - Quicktime issue?

iTunes 11.1.2 for Win 7 is skipping during playback of audio when I am browsing the web. Is this a Quicktime issue? I tried changing the audio output device latency but it didn't do anything different as far as skipping goes. Any suggestions?

Actually, that doesn't work either. Here's the solution that is working consistently:
Go to iTunes, and Preferences > Playback tab > Play Audio Using > Windows Audio Session instead of Direct Sound. There we go, that works!!

Safari, quicktime, and Preview disappeared

Hi, i switched on my imac and safari, quicktime and preview were disappeared from my application folders, i had to reinstall again quicktime and safari but i don't know how to replace preview. How is it possible that this 3 applications are disappeared???

Hi,
Use your installation disk to reinstall them as described in this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1442?viewlocale=en_US
and then re-download the 10.5.6 combo updater for your system to update everything to the correct version.
The likeliest cause is that someone had access to your machine and deleted them for whatever reason.

Why does the iTunes 10.4.1 update take me to Apple's download webpage instead of the usual Safari/Quicktime dialog box?

Why does the iTunes 10.4.1 update take me to to Apple's download webpage (to download a full version of iTunes) instead of the usual Safari/Quicktime pop-up/dialog box where I usually perform the updates?

iTunes 10.4 and Safari 5.1 contain more than 'just' the OSX Lion-release but stability and security improvements as well.
For example, here is http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070 what the Safari 5.1 contains.
In here http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ I can't find an "end-date" for the download of the Lion installer.
Nonetheless, personaly I would download the Lion installer and then copy it (from your Apllications folder) to a secure place (backup harddisk, external hardisk etc.).
When your IT gives it a go you can then use te Lion installer from inside the Applications folder, but I would also say to make a bootable clone of your current OSX Snow Leopard before starting the Lion installation.

Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs - + sign closes app

Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs or view other tabs.
The + sign just closes the app every single time!
In some cases, the back and forward buttons don't work.
It's driving me crazy becuase if the webpage I'm on opens and ad or tab that I don't want to look at, I can't close it and go back, I have to retype the web address in and find where I was on the site!

I, too, tried all the fixes...nothing worked.
Found another thread on this forum and looks like a lot of us are having same problem.
Next time it happens, go to SETTINGS/GENERAL/ABOUT and check to see it there is a "low memory" incident report.
If there is:
See the discussion thread "iPad Air Low Memory Crashes".
Seems to be common....this could turn into a HUGH issue.

Incomplete video playback using Safari & quicktime

I am consistently experiencing the problem of only a portion of an internet video playing back when using Safari and Quicktime. When I find a video I want to watch, I use a differnet browser and media player in order to see the entire thing.
What can I do to make Safari/Quicktime work?
Thanks!

You were right about the trim tabs being active. So I tried setting both at the left hand edge and re-saved the movie. But it didn't make any difference. Also tried with trim tabs selecting the entire movie, saved again but again no joy. Note: in both cases I went thru the steps of saving with a new name, importing to iTunes and sync'ing with the nano.
One thing I noticed in the QT Movie Properties Window is that there are multiple audio and video tracks contained in the movie that correspond to my original clips in duration and order.
So I tried using Visualhub in pass through mode to stitch the clips together. This time it worked as expected on the nano. When I looked at the new movie in QT there was only a single video and audio track listed. So the problem seems to be related to QT allowing you to join clips but keeping them as individual tracks within the movie file. Is there a way to fix this without re-encoding the movie?
Although Visulahub works I'd prefer to use QT so I can make quick visual edits before joining the clips.
Thanks again for your suggestions.

Why does safari/quicktime plugin not allow me to save mp3 files

hello,
there is a website allowing me to download mp3 files. But unlike windows where I can do "save as" -there is no such option available in safari/quicktime plugin.
is it that apple doesn't want me to save any mp3 files?
thanks

Safari Quicktime plug-in is showing me a Q with question mark in the middle

Safari Quicktime plug-in is showing me a Q with question mark in the middle.
Anyone know what this could be about?
Just upgraded to Quicktime Pro; then the Q-question started showing up as web pages were opened.
Don't think my QT prefs changed inbetween un-pro and registration.
TIA
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi Bill
Welcome to Apple Discussion
Several places to check
Safari Preferences>Security>Web Content: 4 boxes selected
System Preferences: Quicktime>Advanced settings:
Enable flash ought to be checked
- Mime Settings: still images - everything but Photoshop, Flash Pic and PDF selected; video - at least Quicktime Movie. Miscellaneous - nothing checked.
Make sure your Flash plug-in is up-to-date. Latest version is 9.0.45. You can check your current version here.
If you have an older version, download a current copy from here. If you need to install, Safari opens to an Adobe site after the install, confirming the installation worked correctly. Quit Safari and "repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder before you restart Safari.
If you don't need to upgrade the Flash plug-in, still "repair permissions" to make sure permissions are up-to-date.

Embedded Quicktime Issue

I know someone else had a similar quicktime issue, but I
didn't want to hijack their thread since mine is a little
different.
My QT videos work, they are embedded on page and play fine,
the exception being they do not autostart as they should.
The QT files were exported with the fast start option
enabled. When the page loads, you can hear the video playing, but
the screens black until you click on it or press enter as notified
by the alert. I thought you could prevent this using the
autostart=true parameter.
Can someone look at this page and let me know what I am doing
wrong.
http://www.dvdflashbacks.com/v2/popups/popup_editing.html
Thanks.

Works fine for me in Win FF 2.0006 with QT browser plug-in
ver. 7.2.

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.

Quicktime 7.4 / Safari streaming issue

Ever since upgrading to Quicktime 7.1.2 and Safari 2.0.4 web pages that I've created with streaming qt clips (from a streaming server) no longer stream (though the pages themselves load). The pages work fine in IE and Firefox, and they even work fine from any Mac with QT 6 and the older version of Safari.
Any help? I've done the old moving the qt plugin bit, and deleting preferences. And deleting the plist. Seems some sort of incompatibility in the coding that used to work when designing in Dreamweaver and working with QT 6. Again, the clips play fine in IE and Firefox, so it doesn't seem to be a QT 6 v. QT 7 issue, but something about Safari.

Sorry. I wasn't aware the page code was you own.
The .tif files should be converted to .jpg and then saved (via QuickTime Pro) as .mov files. They become the "poster" movie for your object and embed tags. Changing them to .mov should shrink there size to about 20KB's.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61011 Info about these tags.
http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html
New changes required for Internet Explorer and these same tags.
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
One of my pages that uses this new javascript page code. Mine targets the QuickTime Player instead of the browser (target="quicktimeplayer" versus target="myself). View the page source to see this new format. I use the external .js file in the <head> tag.
A "virgin" PC (no QuickTime installed) using Internet Explorer couldn't view your files.
A least you seem to have sorted out the streaming error. I saw a Stouffers box.
Replacing the .tif files with .jpg saved as .mov files will trim 900KB's from the load time of your page. It will also help with the href lined streaming files.
Proper (more modern) html code will allow you more visitors.

Myriad Quicktime Issues - QT 7.5 and Mac OS 10.3.9 - RTSP, VLC, etc...

Alright, first I should describe the set-up. I have a Clamshell G3 300 running 10.3.9 on 320MB ram, accessing the INet via Airport. Overall, it runs surprisingly well. However, I've had a devil of a time getting video to load or display on QT 7.5. As I'm sure you are all well aware, an old G3 with a 4mb VRAM card simply isn't going to be competent with Flash. However (and I've used this trick on P3 Windows machines), m.youtube.com uses 240p and 360p 3gp files, which the ibook can handle without problem... when it actually gets them via RTSP. That has been very rare. I've gotten the below difficulties at home (WEP) and at school (unsecured).
The main problem I am having is: when I load a video (and I've tried many dozens of them in both normal and high-definition format) from m.youtube.com and my browser (I've tried this with Opera 10.10, Opera 9.64, Camino 1.6.11 and G3 Optimized Camino 1.6.11, Safari 1.3.2, and Firefox 2.0.20) attempts to open the stream, I get one of several errors. No one error seems to happen any more often than the others, and once in a blue moon, I do actually get the video (or the audio from the video), but that can't be more than 1 in 20, and is usually ONLY the first video loaded in a session. Sometimes, however, the first video does not even load after a reboot.
1. Quicktime says "configuring..." and then says "Bad Request"
2. Quicktime says "connecting..." and then says "Disconnected"
3. Quicktime says "reading media (countdown in s)" and then nothing happens.
4. Quicktime says "reading media (countdown in s)" and then it begins buffering and nothing happens.
5. Quicktime says "reading media (countdown in s)" and then begins buffering and then an approproate timebar starts indicating playback but with no video or sound.
6. Same as #5, except only sound plays.
7. Reloading a video will often times result in the time clicking away with no sound or video.
8. Quicktime says "Buffering (countdown in s)" and then begins playing only audio.
9. Quicktime says "Buffering (countdown in s" and then plays blank media, like in #5-7.
I'm totally perplexed by this behavior. I tried 7.4.1 before this, and 6.5.2 before that, and had some problems, though I didn't stick with either long enough to really test out their relative merits, because I'd prefer to have the most updated and stable version my OS can handle. I even deleted every conceivable QT related file and reinstalled once without any change in the situation.
I'm also having a (potentially) unrelated problem. When I try to play files with VLC 0.8.6(any of the iterations, up through , have been tried), I run into an error message: QT does not support any appropriate chroma. While this issue does not pop up in VLC 0.8.4 (which supports fewer formats), part of me suspects some problem with my QT installation is to blame for this problem. And, yes, I've noticed that my particular error message with VLC is NOT unheard of, but most there blame problematic QT installs or something with QT. Given my extreme rtsp problems, I'm inclined to agree.
Any help would be much appreciated, and sorry for the length - just wanted to be detailed. QTKirk, come and save me!

Thanks for that. That site must have changed how they code and deliver video over the last year, because I was able to stream it on old comps before using VLC and/or QT. However, I installed RealPlayer 10 yesterday (despite the awful memories of RP that most computer users rightfully have) and the site now works flawlessly with pretty decent quality and playback. So, all is well again. And, using an old version of mplayer (the port no longer being developed, from 2004 or 2005) instead of VLC, I'm now able to play 640p horizontal xvids smoothly!
To your last point, I definitely disagree. I have had brand new laptops over the last 5 years, and I'm disavowing them. I'm very utilitarian, and I feel it is wasteful to purchase new laptops when most of the development is in artificially wringing out 20-40% profit margins by dint of planned obsolescence (like Tiger "requiring" firewire for installation, or Snow Leopard making G5s obsolete only 2 years after they were being sold new). I feel like I'm wasting the labor and human cost involved in researching, designing, manufacturing, and promoting top-of-the-line computers. Considering what most users need, computers today are grossly overpowered, and it would have been far more environmentally and socially responsible to develop simpler and more efficient applications for slower hardware than to push consumers into a frenzy that in no way benefits them. Using a G3 optimized port of Camino (and Opera for other tasks), Appleworks 6.2.9, etc..., this 6/7th generation processor is easily capable of handling what 80-90% of users would ever need. The only things that injure it's usefulness are arbitrary and artificial - like docX format and the huge amount of AJAX clutter slowing web access for all parties. Their benefit is anywhere from negligble to non-existent, but their cost is high to consumers.
Put another way: I'm recycling in a very responsible way by keeping this computer alive, and I don't feel like I'm making any real sacrifice by doing so. Win-win!

Quicktime Movies Causes UI To Lock Up (Safari & Quicktime Player)

When a page in Safari has an embedded Quicktime Movie, it causes my computer to lockup. It will not respond to mouse clicks or keyboard input. The whole UI just locks up. Same with opening movies in Quicktime Player. I can SSH into the box, and when I run "top", I don't see anything pegging the CPU. The biggest problem is, Safari and Quicktime Player don't "crash", so no crash report is generated, and I have nothing to reference. I can issue a "sudo reboot" and the machine will restart.
If I set Safari to run in Rosetta, I experience no problems. Same with the Quicktime Player. However, Firefox work perfectly displaying Quicktime Movies.
I have the most current firmware and system updates. The problem is reproducible with a fresh user account, as well as with a clean system install. I even went to the trouble of zeroing the drive, and reinstalling a fresh copy of the OS. I tested pre updates, and post updates, and it is reproducable across all instances. This was all done in front of a Genius at the Apple Store.
He was stumped...

I'm not a QuickTime engineer but I noticed that the QuickTime Plugin.webplugin first appeared in Tiger and version 7. It caused me some grief when using the Safari Activity window to find source URL's for QuickTime files in pages. Removing it allowed the URL to appear in the Activity window.
Now most pages use javascript (.js) files to display QuickTimme files so they don't appear in the Activity window.
I beleive that the plug-in is used by Dashboard Widgets (also html files) to do some kind of "voodoo" similar to the plug-in architecture of Web browsers.
I've just applied at the La Cantera Apple Store for a job. Is that where you "stumped the genius"?

Safari Quicktime plugin and filtering proxy

I there. I work in a secondary school in the UK and we have a suite of iMacs that are integrated into our Windows network. We've just encountered a frustrating problem using Safari (4.0.4) and our internal filtering proxy machine (RM SmartCache (2a.9.9) -a third-party product built on linux, but sadly I can't provide any more information than that about its internals).
Our webfilter is set to authenticate users via Active Directory. On the Macs, it cannot do this, so asks users to manually log in with their AD credentials when they request a page. Frustrating for them (largely because they haven't figured out what the 'Remember this password' tickbox does), but it works.
The problem we're having is that the Quicktime plugin for embedded videos also asks for authentication credentials for the webfilter box, but never accepts any and the video never plays - it just pops up the authentication request dialog over and over, regardless of the credentials you provide or the form you type them (username, domain\username, domain/username etc).
(FYI, the page prompting the question in http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#idvd , but this also occurs with other Quicktime embedded movies on other sites.)
To add to this issue, I've tested the same functionality in Firefox 3.6, and it works correctly. The Quicktime plugin still requests proxy authentication, but it only asks once, then starts playing the video.
Has anyone encountered this, or a similar problem before? Does anyone have any ideas where I can look next to resolve this? I'd prefer not to have to roll out Firefox to the Macs, if it can be avoided...
Thanks in advance,
Andy B

YES!!!i am having the same problem...same exact problem...i have had apple people out to my school and had them talk with our network people to no avail...apple is stumped...it makes teaching with a mac very hard, but double worse is the image that macs dont play well together...arrrggghhh...come on apple i have had this issue for over a year...please fix this
