Safari cant watch quicktime movie

I can t watch any quicktime movie only sound?? i try to change the settings and still not working, it only happens with Safari because i used Firefox and i can see the video... so its a Safari issue how can i solve this..
By the way I'm using Leopard with the new Safari

I had the same problem and tried all the suggestions and fixes. Non of them worked until I tried the below post. After I implemented it all the sites I previously had trouble with now worked fine and no more "Q?". Worked like a charm!
instructions, posted by Stormincher in this thread:

1) Open the folder Macintosh HD/Users/your_user/Library/Preferences
2) In this folder, search the file com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
3) Open it with Textedit
4) Search for this string (without the quotes) "<key>application/x-shockwave-flash</key>"
5) On this section, change the "<true/>" string to "<false/>" (without the quotes)
6) Save and quit Textedit
7) Relaunch Safari and ENJOY!!!!

  • TS3354 so i cant watch my movies now because i dont have the next best computer thanks apple for screwing the guy with a perfectly working computer ... -.-

    i get the message cant be played without windows seven or hdmc format essentially so i cant watch my movies it works perfectly fine i just cant afford windows seven  or a new computer and mine runs great

    In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater.

  • Screensaver starts while while watching Quicktime Movies

    We've got kind of aproblem with my friend's eMac 1.25:
    The screensaver starts while while watching Quicktime movies.
    Does anyone know why this happens (without putting the mouse in the "screensaver-corner"!)?

    I didn't try it with iMovie, but this must be the same problem. And it is only a problem with the eMac, not with my iMac (G4 or G5 doesn't matter).
    Changing the perfs for the screensaver to 2 hours or never isn't really the solution, because I'd like the screensaver to do his job, when the Mac is not in use (but don't like him when the Mac is in use)...

  • Safari crashed opening quicktime movies after 10.4.4

    Hi,
    Tried to open quicktime mov (from link on website) from safari and safari crashed. Tried a few times (after re-logging, and restarting) with the same result. Quicktime standalone v.7.0.4 have no problem starting. Finally resorted to Firefox, without any problems and no crashes running quicktime mov!
    Also found-out that on some website, you need to disable plug-ins and Java (from the preferences) before able to click links. Try "www.aqua-macro.com". Website problems? or plug-ins/java?
    Thanks.

    I originally updated through sys pref and just let it go. One day later things stopped working. Repairing permissions etc did nothing. Applied the combo update, verified the disk before hand, repaired permissions after the update and reboot, now things are back to normal as far as I can tell, better even in some areas. Hope this can help others with similar problems.

  • Cant watch purchased movies on iphone 5

    I turn off wifi on iphone 5 and cant watch my purchased movies. How do I get movies back on my phone?

    Re: Bought a video - got the "cloud download" icon.
    eric says:
    See below from:  http://www.imore.com/movies-icloud-means
    Underneath the "Purchased" option there is a "Downloads option" - This should get the d/l going if it hasn't started already.  Note - for movies greater than 100mb in size a wifi connection is needed.
    To re-download movies you've previously purchased from iTunes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    Launch the iTunes app.
    Tap the Purchased tab at the bottom (if you don't see it, tap the More tab and then check there).
    Tap Movies from the selection list.
    Tap on the iCloud icon beside any of your previously purchased movies to re-download.

  • Cant watch XVid movies

    I watch videos online that play in the xvid format and since I got my new MacBook Pro it will not let me open them because I need the xvid codec and according to the website, it's not compatible with my computer. Through the help of google, I found this site: http://www.xvidmovies.com/mac/ and I followed the directions exactly. I have Quicktime 7, I downloaded DivX, and the XviD codec for mac os x, and dropped the correct file into the library/quicktime folder like it said. It still wont play the movies. I restarted quicktime and that did not work, then I restarted the whole computer too, just in case... still no luck. Any advice?

    I'm having the same issue right now. I downloaded the XviD_1.0alpha from the apple site which lead me to another site.
    It says it's compatible with OS X 10.4 and later. When I open it that's when it says only "REQUIRES OS X 10.4".
    This is how I installed it, but it doesn't work.
    To install this component, just drag the File "XviD_Codec 1.0 alpha.component" into Library/QuickTime. The Library directory can be found either at your home directory (to install just for the actual user) or at the top-level of your startup volume (this needs an administrator account). DO NOT PUT IN: /System/Library/QuickTime.
    It is possible that the QuickTime directory does not yet exists. In that case you can create it yourself. Pay attention to capital letters if you use a case sensitive file system (i.e. UFS).
    I tried VLC by opening network, but nothing happens.

  • Final Cut Express....cant play quicktime movie

    I recently did all available updates.....MISTAKE and now all movies that i export as a quicktime file I can no longer play. However I can play those same files on my friends MAC.....help?

    MPEG Streamclip can convert a VIDEO_TS folder to other formats. Use "Open DVD" from its "File" menu and choose the VIDEO_TS folder.

  • Cant watch rented movies on apple tv after software update

    I recentlly bought apple tv and have not had a problem using it but this afternoon I went to rent a movie as per usual but had to instal a software update first, now i can't watch / rent / download movies.It asks me to confirm my credit card pin number then it just returns to the previous screen. I have tried verifying the credit card, resetting apple tv, turning on and off the modem, restarting apple tv, de registering other devices and it still doesnt work. Anyone know if there is a solution?

    I have exactly the same behavior.
    One small wrinkle, after re-entering CC details I couldn't even watch purchased TV shows. Then I reset the ATV and after it will allow me to watch TV shows we have bought but I still cannot purchase anything. There is no error message of any kind, it just goes back to the previous screen.
    BTW apple, we use my wife's login for ATV

  • Quicktime Movies on iPod?

    is there a way to watch quicktime movies on the iPod (movies ive taken from my digital camera from ski trips, etc) and if so, how? I have the newest gen iPod nano.
    Many thanks
    Brian

    is there a way to watch quicktime movies on the iPod (movies ive taken from my digital camera from ski trips, etc) and if so, how?
    Yes. The question of how, however, depends on the compression format used by your digital camera and what software you have available. Most compression formats, if that can be played by the QT player and are "conversion" compatible, can be converted by iTunes. Simply import the file to iTunes, highlight the imported file, and use the "Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone" Advanced menu option to create an iPod compatible file. There are some exceptions however. If you have a Sony digital camera using MPEG VX (MPEG-1), for instance, you audio will be lost using this work flow. Instead try using either iSquint or MPEG Streamclip. Both are free conversion applications that can be downloaded from the Internet. QT Pro also has an iPod export option and iMovie and GarageBand can also access an iPod export option if you have iLife installed. Again, these QT applications, like iTunes, cannot export "muxed" formats and retain audio.
