Safari not displaying Quicktime

Safari is not playing my video (I get a Q and question mark). I can view it on my iphone but on my other computers its a no-go. Video plays fine on Firefox; I believe it was working before I installed Snow Leopard; but I am not 100% sure. New to Mac all so I appreciate your assistance!

Hi Ray and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Insert the Snow Leopard install disk. Open the Optional Installs folder, then open Optional Installs.mpkg
An Installer will start... click Continue. When you get to the Installation Type in the window on the right you will see: Applications. Click the Disclosure triangle so it faces down. Select QuickTime 7 and click Continue. After you finish with the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Safari not displaying Quicktime controls.

    Since changing to Snow Leopard and Quicktime 10, Safari is no longer displaying the controls, or playing the audio on my website. Firefox handles the embed code fine, and Safari under Leopard does too. My code matches what is suggested on Apple's site so I am out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Try posting in the QuickTime forums too.
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=122
    Try deleting these files also.
    com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist
    com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences.
    Move those files to the Trash and see if that makes a difference.

    I experienced the same issues with Safari not displaying Quicktime video windows. I couldn'e even watch the instructions for Apple programs from the learning center in .MAC.
    Solution: Find your Tiger installation disk and reinstall Tiger OS X. Remember to select "archeive & install and don't wipe out your hard disk. And last but not least, run software update and then go watch a baseball game because this will take awhile.

  • Umlauts in Safari not displayed correctly

    My motherlanguage is German, therefore most websites I visit are in German. In the recent days a problem with Safari came up:
    umlauts (ä, ö, ü, Istead there is something like ü) and
    other German-specific letters (ß) are not displayed correctliy,
    even when I try to use another encodings (like ISO Latin 2, ISO Latin 4...).
    This problem occured mainly on google.com
    So I don't know if this is sort of a mixed problem - Google-Apple
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!  (Actually nothing is more important in a case like this than providing a url that lets someone else see exactly what you are seeing).
    I can't duplicate your problem, so I do not think it is Google.  Does Firefox work OK?

  • Google search box in Safari not displaying matches

    Hello,
    I just did the latest Software Update on both my MacBook Pro and iMac (the update was a new iTunes--version 10.3). I'm not sure why this is happening, but when I use the Google search box (located in the upper-right corner of the Safari window), I no longer see a list of possible matches to what I'm typing. Both of my computers now do not display them, yet it has always done this in the past.
    Does anyone have a solution to this, or do you know what happened?
    Thank you very much.

    My guess is Google did something wrong, figured it out and fixed it. The suggestions feature went away in Safari for Google, but not for bing, and continued to work in Firefox. It is all fixed this morning. I happened to be using Google when it stopped functioning, it had nothing to do with updates to the Mac, since as it went south I restarted in an earlier Snow Leopard version and discovered it was not working there either. So it was a Google action that caused the mishap, nothing that Apple did. Anyway, all's well now.

  • Safari not displaying web site image

    I have a website that is suddenly not displaying the header image in Safari and IE5.2.
    I have my suspicions that it is due to a JavaScript from Google to run their Analytics programme which I installed a few days ago, (and will shortly remove it to confirm the suspicion or otherwise.)
    But first I wish to check if other people are experiencing the same problem, or if it is localized to my computer. (Need to be able to inform Google if their script is the fault and affects all Safari users or only some versions. So please check the site and report results here, including your Safari version. Mine is Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6) and Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac.
    The site is http://www.paintmaking.com
    What I see in Firefox, Netscape, Opera, and Camino is a flash title over a colored background with a photo.
    Thats what I saw in Safari until recently too. But suddenly all I now see in Safari and IE is the flash title over a gray background, no photo, and above the menu bar a very thin strip of color (about 1mm, 1/16in). The sidebar images are unaffected (and those images at the side work fine in all the browsers), it is just the header.
    Can you please tell me what you see and the browser version?
    Tony

    Thank you to everyone who has reported what you are seeing on my website. Now I need some help to troubleshoot the problem. So far I am confused as to where the problem lays let alone what the problem might be.
    I need guidance as I am running out of ideas for troubleshooting. Are there any files that I should try trashing?
    Could the problem lie in my Flash player perhaps (how do I test this?
    Updates:
    I can see only a gray color behind my flash title on http://www.paintmaking.com in Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6) and Internet Explorer 5.2.3 (5815.1). What should be there is a colored header image.
    I have established that other people can see the image correctly, including on the same builds of Safari and IE and on the same OS (10.3.9). An exception is someone using Shiira who can only see gray in Shiira, but sees colors in other browsers including Safari.
    On my computer Netscape 7.2, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera and Camino can all see the image correctly.
    Safari and IE have the same problem displaying the image on all the accounts on my eMac.
    I have: cleared cache with no improvement, checked Safari Preferences (Java enabled, JavaScript enabled, and 'display images as pages open' is checked.
    I have removed the software that I installed recently. (MacTracker)
    I have removed a piece of JavaScript added recently (from Google to facilitate their Analytics programme)
    The only major thing I have done lately that is out of the ordinary is to Clone my OS X hard drive to an external drive using SuperDuper.
    I don't seem to be having problems with other websites.
    So how can this be? If the problem is in my computer why only the one site affected? (I checked several sites) Yet if the problem is with the site then why can other people see the site correctly?

  • Safari not displaying web pages correctly

    I dont know if its my inexperieince, something to do with settings or what but I am finding some of the web pages I am receiveing are not displaying correctly.  For example a card company sent me an online form to complete but when I tried to read it some of the information was displayed on top of more information making the whole thing garbled and indeciperable, on another website there was an area with a list of information held in a box but when I tried to read the information it would periodically jump about yet I was no where near the mouse. Both pages are fine on my husbands windows PC. There have been other incidents like this making the transition from windows to Mac very painful.  Is this something that can be remedied or are we stuck with it?

    When I experience the problem, I sometimes have to zoom in or out, to get the text to be readable.

  • Jerky scrolling and Safari not displaying most jpegs in one user a/c

    Hi
    I upgraded my 15" mid 2010 MBP to Mountain Lion and find that it is behaving oddly. I have two different user accounts and the oddities vary between accounts. In one, most jpegs in Safari are not displayed, substituted with black rectangles with patterns of coloured dots (in the other, there is no problem with rendering pictures). The scrolling of pages is extremely jerky in Safari and far from perfect elsewhere (slightly jerky in Preview eg). Even the dock magnification is jerky, with icons breaking up as you pass over them.
    In both accounts the scroll bar in Safari flickers on and off irrespective of whether the setting in General prefs is for the scroll bar to display permanently or not. The less troubled user account is noticeably snappier in action (eg opens the About this Mac screen with no delay compared with a second or so in the other account).
    I've tried ditching the caches for Sarari with no effect. I rebuilt permissions after the install. I'm at a loss to know what to do next as it feels like a generic video problem but, bizarrely is more or less confined to one account.
    Any clues?

    bizarrely is more or less confined to one account.
    Check Safari > Preferrences > Extensions
    If there are any installed, turn that OFF, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    If it's not an extension issue, try troubleshooting third party plugins.

  • Safari not displaying site content if sidebar hidden. Does display if sidebar unhidden

    All of a sudden, Safari will not display content past the header on a site that I visit routinely. Chrome and Firefox will display the site fully.
    I had installed the two plugins that suppress the autostart of media on Safari and the comparable plugins on Chrome and Firefox.
    When I check the source on Safari when at this site, I can see all the html is there for a full display.
    I removed both plugins from Safari, but still can't view the content past the header.
    I just now discovered that if I unhide the Safari sidebar, I can see the full site page displayed. When I hide it, it disappears.
    I am using Safari 8.0.
    I am using OS X 10.10

    1. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    2. Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Test.

  • Safari not displaying Facebook properly

    Since yesterday, Safari stopped displaying Facebook properly. I get a white page with no formatting, just a column of links. That is the only site I have problems with. All others seem to work fine and Facebook displays properly if I'm using Firefox. ???

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Safari not displaying all images

    Safari does not seem to display all images on certain pages. For example, on
    feed : // news.google.com/?output=rss
    all images for news headline items show the "questionmark" icon.
    And yes, "Display images when the page opens" is checked in Safari preferences.
    Has anyone had the same problem, and found a solution?
    Using: Safari Version 5.1.3 (7534.53.10), OS X (10.7.2).

    I recently downloaded Mountain Lion, and now have Safari 6.0.  I heard so many good things about this new version I decided to try Safari again as my main browser.  But now, I get this old problem.  Images not displaying.  Not sure if I will go back to Chrome or Firefox.
    There is no Appearances Tab in Safari 6.0 Preferences, and in thumbing through the tabs, I don't see anything under any of them re. displaying images.
    It has happened many times, but the particular site I am at now is
    http://www.businessinsider.com/wall-street-analyst-commentary-2012-7?op=1
    I do get pics at http://news.google.com
    Hmmm, I get pics at http://www.businessinsider.com/wall-street-analyst-commentary-2012-7#
    but they have an ability to see the next 12 pages all on one page which is
                    http://www.businessinsider.com/wall-street-analyst-commentary-2012-7?op=1
    Does this mean the site is doing something "wrong"?  and Safari therefore won't show the pics?  perhaps I will go back to Firefox that will show "wrong" pics

  • Why is Safari not displaying some pages correctly?

    Safari seems to be messing up again.  Had this problem quite a while ago.  It's not displaying some pages correctly.
    Notice the 2 enclosed screen shots.  I went to purchase something (no personal info in the jpgs) 
    Notice the W-Safari.  Little trash cans by the purchase items missing as well as the submit button and a few other things.  So I opened Chrome.
    Notice in the W-Chrome, everything is displaying correctly.
    I've had problems like this some time ago but I thought they were fixed.
    Thanks for any suggestions or help.

  • Safari not displaying some web pages properly why?

    I have been finding of late that safari does not display certain web pages properly. i.e.: text overlaps other text  and is not formatted properly. This seems to have become more common lately. Even Apple's own apple info page does not display properly. Could this be a setting in safari that I have messed up somehow?

    Go step by step and test.
    1. Delete Cookies
        Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
        Click the “Details” button.
        Remove all cookies except from Apple, your internet service provider and banks.
    2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
        Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
        Turn on those one by one and test.
    3. Delete Caches.db
        Close all windows and quit all applications.
        Hold "option" key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
        Select "Library" from the dropdown.
        Library > Caches > com.apple.Safari > Caches.db
        Right click the Caches.db file and select "Move To Trash.
        Close windows and relaunch Safari.
    4. Empty Caches
        Safari > Preference > Advanced
        Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
        Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
        Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
    5. Temporarily  turn off  Safari iCloud sync and test.
         System Preferences > iCloud
         Uncheck the box beside “Safari” and test.

  • Safari not displaying Apple Store Chat

    Hi everyone,
    I have noticed that with Safari, that it does not display the Apple Store Live Chat feature. The space where the little button is blank (see here: http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/1200/picture1os0.png)
    With Firefox it shows it immediately. And I've checked the Activity window and there are items from "storechat.apple.com..." that have loaded, so I don't know what's wrong.
    Thanks,
    William

    Hi William
    I have noticed that with Safari, that it does not display the Apple Store Live Chat feature.
    Ironic to say the least. Doesn't appear on Safari 3 Beta too. I've notified an Apple Rep at the Store of the "bug".

  • Automator says running OK but not displaying quicktime movie

    When I play an automator script that is meant to play a quicktime movie, it reports that it is running correctly but the movie is not displaying.

    Between clicking quicktime movie > save, did you look at the settings under Options to see what codec you were exporting to? You should have.
    Was "Make movie Self-Contained" checked on? If not, have you also deleted the original source footage? You should not have.
