Sound and no picture

i'm running qt 7.2 in os10.4. up until recently all was fine. now when i click on something on the web that has a video, all i get is the sound and the control bar, no picture at all.

Most videos on the web are in Flash format.
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!
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.

    Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

  • I have only sound and no picture coming through via air play

    I have only sound and no picture coming through via air play. It started after I updated all software on all my devices. What is wrong?

    Hi cavw,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having video issues with AirPlay after a recent update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your exact configuration.

  • Mac mini 2.4GHz iTunes or Frontrow have sound and no picture.

    I have had a mac mini 2.4Ghz since February and keep having the following problems:
    1 - Every time I turn it on all videos through iTunes or Front Row have sound and no picture. If I reset it this resolves the problem but this is getting annoying.
    2 - Occasionally the desktop background losses all my setting and diverts back to the standard setting. It done this today and now won't go back to my preferences.
    3 -
    I have tried the suggestion to delete Front Row Playlists and tried it with the screensaver turned off, no success.

    Hi there and thanks for the response... I can push the disc so it's almost entirely in the drive, but the drive still won't 'accept' and take it in.
    It's a moot point now, being less than 14 days since the purchase I qualify for a replacement so I've taken the mini back. Here's hoping the next one works 100%!
    Thanks again

    HBOGO is the problem. Please see their comments below straight from the HBOGO app under the help section.
    "HBO requires a level of content protection that is not currently supported by AirPlay/Apple Tv. We hope to offer this capability in the future."

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you mean from the iTV player app, that's because iTV block AirPlay from working with their app.

  • MSI (ATI) Theater 550 Pro has fuzzy and quiet sound and perfect picture

    I have just brought an MSI (ATI) Theater 550 Pro. It is connected to the antenna on the roof, and I am located in New Zealand (PAL) if that makes any difference. I have previously had problems with MPEG2 codecs, not that I see how that could be related.
    My problem is that although I get a perfect picture, I do not get any sound. If I turn the sound up to full volume, I can just make out the beat of the music on TV in the fuzz that is outputed.
    I have:
    Windows Media Center 2005
    MSI (ATI) Theater 550 Pro

    Ok, that was a bit simpler than I expected.
    I just downloaded a new ATI driver (from ATI site)

  • Movies without sound and uploading pictures.

    When I convert a movie for my Ipod it doesn't have any sound anymore. How can I Fix this?
    An how can I upload pictures to my Ipod?

    The iPhoto export dialogue is the same as any other. I wonder if you're seeing this:
    When what you want is this:
    Which allows you to access the specific folders you want. You get this by clicking the button indicated.
    As for uploading photos:
    For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
    It's the first one you want...
    You can work your photos on your Mac just like you did on Windows, but you've chosen to use a database with lossless processing. So there is a learnign curve if you change not only your OS but you're entire system of managing your photos.

  • When I stream airplay all I get is sound and the picture of my screen saver regardless of what is on my screen.

    I get sound on my TV when using airplay but only an image of my screen saver not what is on my computer screen.

    Well you can save your time powering off your apple TV, Turning on and off your airplay and Apple TV,shutting down your laptop and restarting none of that works.

  • Sound but no picture in m4v

    When converted a mkv movie to m4a with all the right settings for ATV3 and iTunes - the same settings as with all my other movies.
    But this movie will only play sound and no picture on my iPads (2 & 3) and my iMac. But on my MacBook Pro it plays fine.
    I am on 10.7.4 on both iMac and MacBook Pro.
    I even tried to convert it to a mov file but nothing helps.
    I can play it with the VLC player so I guess it must be something with QT.
    I can't even import it to iTunes.
    I use my iMac as main iTunes library since I only have 128GB SD in my MacBook Pro so I would prefer to be able to stream from my iMac to my ATV3.
    Any ideas??

    No, I don't have an external monitor attached. I may have had my iPad connected by it's cable for synching and updating in iTunes. I wouldn't think that would make a difference, would it?
