Some QuickTime Controls Won't Display in Safari

I have a website created with iWeb and published to MobileMe. I'm running Snow Leopard.
On my site I have about 15 audio files consisting of MP3s that I dragged onto web pages from out of iTunes. These were originally imported into iTunes from CDs.
Most of these audio files on my web pages appear with QuickTime controls underneath them and play just fine. But in the case of five of the files, no QuickTime controls appear, only a QT icon with a question mark in it.
This problem only occurs when I access my website from the MobileMe server. If I publish the site to my hard drive, all the audio files appear in my browser with QT controls and there is no problem.
Also, the problem only occurs if I use Safari. Firefox displays the QT controls for all the audio files.
Further, once I display a page with one of the audio files in Firefox, as long as I keep Firefox open, Safari will also display the QT controls for the file correctly.
Other people who have tested my site with Windows and Internet Explorer have reported to me that they have no problem with any of the files.
Here is the URL for one of the audio files that manifests the QT problem:
http://web.me.com/dennwebb/DennisWebb/Greensleeves.html
I am baffled by this problem, but it seems to be a problem with Safari.

Maralyn,
Coincidentally, I just found the solution to this problem that I posted. It was addressed by someone else on the forum back on May 5. Here is the link:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2420076&tstart=360
I tested this solution out on my website and it fixed the problem perfectly. If you can't get this to work, post another reply and we can walk through what I did.

  • Swf files won't display in Safari

    My swf files won't display in Safari but they will work in IE. I'm using Dreamweaver 3 and Flash 4 to build the website and movies. See below.

    A direct link to the site in question helps. Posting your code here isn't much help since the .swf file is stored on your server and can't be tested by the helpers here

  • Some PSD files won't display in Bridge

    Why is it that some PSD files won't display a visible thumbnail in Bridge?
    Don

    I tried Curt Young's suggestion in the Bridge forum:
    When in the folder with the problem click on Tools/cache/purge cache for folder xxx. The thumbnails will be then rebuild and see if that solves the problem. Let all the thumbs rebuild completely (spinning arrow on bottom left corner will stop) before carrying out any other operation. You may have a few corrupted files in the cache.
    It worked!

  • Favicon on MobileMe web site won't display with Safari - OK with Firefox

    I have a web site published to MobileME using iWeb - I have added a favicon and updated HTML accordingly. Now after trying every combination of code and searching the Safari, iWeb and MobileMe forums I cannot figure out why my favicon will not display using Safari but will with just about every other browser (Firefox, IE, Netscape are the ones I've tried on a Windows PC - also won't dispaly using Safari for Windows). Any ideas???
    I've put the favicon file in the web.me.com/pat.schafer/web/sites folder as well as the web.me.com/pat.schafer/web/sites/sitename folder and added the HTML ref code to every html file - I'm going crazy.

    Hi Certified - tried your tips to no avail. I'm beginning to think it's some interaction (bug??) when using a site published to MobileMe (and iWeb?) and Safari. Note I also tried using Windows Safari on a PC which had never viewed the site and it still showed the Apple favico but as previously stated Firefox, and IE on this PC did show my favicon. (I have not tried to load Firefox on my iMac but may try this as well.) I'd try the Apple Support Center but I don't hold up much hope of their being able to assist - I was at the Genius Bar yesterday in the Sydney shop on another matter (broken mouse) and asked about this favicon issue and was told it was beyond the scope of what they can assist with.
    Hello Old Toad - thanks anyway for the tip on the OVI slideshow - also thanks to your earlier tips on using OVI I did know about the trick of using a transparent shape but had got around to doing this - I'm still in the early stages of learning using iWeb ... the site in question is just a bit of a "sandbox". In fact I'm pretty much on my way to a bookshop to get a book an HTML and other web design technologies - clearly one must really understand the underlying technology to make these things work.

  • Some QuickTime movies won't play after 10.4.4 upgrade

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to 10.4.4 and now some QuickTime movies - mostly from Safari won't play any more. I do online training and none of those QuickTime movies will play. They load perpetually. They also work fine on my other machine (which I haven't upgrade from v10.4.3 yet)
    According to System Profiler, I'm running QuickTime 7.0.0 - but I can't find 7.0.1 in the Apple downloads section. I'm not even sure if that will help.
    Any ideas?

    Most current version of QT is indeed 7.0.4, but Apple has removed that update and instead posted one that backs 7.0.4 back to 7.0.1.
    Apple is now passively recommending against 7.0.4
    One of the links that no longer works is any of VTC.com's training videos.

  • IMac 2.66 Radeon HD 2600 Pro: some Excel files won't display in ppt decks

    Running Leopard 10.5.8 and MS Office 2004
    Two iMac (8.1) 2.66 GHz with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro video won't display some Excel files in PowerPoint decks, but iMac 1.83 GHz Core Duo will display o.k. as will MacBook Pro, MacBook, etc. Installing a trial version of Office 2008, both iMac 2.66 GHz display the PowerPoint files o.k.
    I could downgrade the users to Intel iMac 1.83 GHz, or buy two copies of Office 2008 and support them, neither of which is a great solution.
    Looking for a simple fix or workaround on what seems to be a video card issue. Don't seem to see this problem or a fix on the ATI site. I've googled this but haven't run into a similar issue.

    Well, Office 2008 is only $110 USD at http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-2008-Home-Student/dp/B000X86ZAS/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1251560959&sr=8-1
    That seems the least expensive solution to me.

  • Some album artwork won't display on iPad

    Hi guys,
    Some of the song's album artwork won't display on my iPad or iPhone but shows up against each song in the album on iTunes on my Mac. There are entire albums' artwork not showing, yet when I open and play the same song in iTunes on my mac, it's there.
    Any ideas?

    in iTunes, choose to not *display Album Artwork on your iPod*, then sync your iPod, then change it back to display album artwork and sync again. I believe that will fix it.

  • IWeb Published Quicktime Movie Won't Play in Safari. Only Quicktime Logo Shows.

    I created a movie using iMovie and, after publishing my movie, using iWeb, to my MobileMe account, I visit the site using Safari, and can only see the Quicktime logo instead of my movie. When I use Firefox to view the page I created, it shows fine. I'm all up to date on my software and OS.
    Any help you can offer me? It seems like all the Apple pieces aren't working well together.
    All my other published movies still work fine. It's just this most recently-published one that won't show correctly.

    Hello to you all.
    Translation excuse my English, I unfortunately can not do better. I have the same problem as you, I created a site for our travels in Brazil and I put videos on a page:
    http://marc.rollmann.free.fr/marc.rollmann3/Cinema-Tropical.html
    Avenida jazz, Jazz avenida2 and Muritiba.
    They are compressed in H.264 .mov. Only one works well on my macbook leopard snow and air ipad ios8. The two other Jazz and Jazz2 run on iPad but not macbook. Sometimes I succeeded, but this is very rare. Can anyone tell me please what I should do or not do?
    Thank you to you.
    ps i have clear safari cache

  • Some album artwork won't display on iPod Classic

    I've had a strange problem recently with my new iPod Classic(and, come to think of it, my 2nd gen. iPod Nano): certain album artwork won't properly display, but will instead show up as a black square(like the 5th Metallica album, or the Spinal Tap album...). Sometimes, this happens only with certain songs on an album. For instance, I purchased 2 songs from the album "Employment" by Kaiser Chiefs last year. Recently, I purchased the CD, and I imported it to my computer. I chose "get album artwork" so the album cover would display for the newly imported songs, as well as the 2 I already bought. Now, the 2 songs I bought last year display their artwork normally, but the newly imported tracks just display the black square.
    What's going on, and how can I fix it?
    Thanks in advance..

    in iTunes, choose to not *display Album Artwork on your iPod*, then sync your iPod, then change it back to display album artwork and sync again. I believe that will fix it.

  • Quicktime Pro won't display JPG or create image sequence

    I'm having a problem with QT Pro in that some of my jpg files will open in QT as blank white. When I resize the window, the window blinks with a scrambled image. Same thing happens when I try to create an image sequence.
    This doesn't happen on all my jpg files, maybe about half of them. Also, the same files that don't open properly in QT Pro on my Mac Pro open just fine in QT Pro on another computer. These files also open fine in Preview, Lightroom & Photoshop - it's just QT that's having problems.
    I've deleted and reinstalled QT with no luck. Any ideas what the problem could be? Help is greatly appreciated...

    Try the following:
    System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced
    Click on the MIME Settings button.
    In the next window that opens up make sure that click on the triangle next to Images - Still image files.
    Make all items are enabled (checked) except for PDF Image.
    Click the OK button.
    Restart your computer.
    ==============
    Take a look in your Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder - if you see any QT plugins or webplugins file there, remove them to the desktop or trash.
    Restart your computer.
    ===============
    Are you trying to view JPG files from a browser or from your HD? Asking because most browsers have a +"file helper"+ preference. For Firefox, it's under the Applications Preferences. There, you can select which type of files you can map to the QT browser plug-in.

  • .asp pictures won't display on Safari?

    Hi, I cannot get my G4 ibook with Safari (up to date) to display any picture on a website that has .asp as it's ending. My G4 powerbook safari will display them fine on the same websites? I can't figure out the difference or how to get the ibook with safari to display them? The pictures are nothing fancy, just images of computer parts on a website. Why will my powerbook display them and not the ibook? They are both running 10.3.9 with the latest safari updates? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Tom

    This is probably being caused by a bad system upgrade, please try to apply the Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Updater, available here:

  • Apple home page and some other sites won't load via Safari.

    Apple home page (and other sites) will not open in Safari.  Randomly, others will, especially those saved as bookmarks.  I've reset Safari, cleared the cache, verified the DNS - no luck.  Wifi works fine for other devices.  Mac OS 10.5.8/Safari 5.0.6.  Any suggestions?

    Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items.  Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

  • Finder and QTimeplayer won't display flash 8 content

    Hi,
    Finder's inbuild preview as well as the quicktime player won't display flash 8 swf's
    It can only show earlier flash movies.
    I have flash 8.022 pro
    on mac os 10.4.7
    I can however see flash 8 content in all of my browsers.
    Is there a component or plugin I should copy to
    the quicktime system folders?
    Sanne

    ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE
    I suggest there's no need to shout.
    Try linking the Director cast member to the external swf file instead of fully importing it. You also should have the 10.1.1 update in place - this is particularly important.
