Video changes to quicktime logo

When I try to watch a web based video, specifically from CNN or PBS, it plays for a few seconds then the picture changes to a Quicktime logo while the audio continues. What's up?

Seemed to have found the problem...too many apps open at once.

Quicktime Logo on all website videos i.e. youtube, myspace

Please help. I have Quicktime Pro. Any website that has video on it wont let me play it. It always has the quicktime logo on the screen where the video should be!!!! I tried changing the MIME settings in quicktime preferences. I unchecked the box next to miscellaneous as i read on youtube to do this. Im new to apple mac so Im still getting used to it. This might sound like a stupid question but when you change settings and just close the box using the x button does this apply the changes or how do I apply the changes after changing settings?? Please if anyone has a solution for me please tell me as im going mental trying to work it out. Macbook is going to have itself a little fall from top floor window if I cant fix it LMAO. Cheers people. Tracy

Dear QuickTime Kirk or may I call you QuickTime,
Thanks for the suggestion which I executed as soon as I read it a day or two ago. Unfortunately, it made no difference and I can only get Q?-free flash stuff on my old G4 with Tiger, to whose stability and reliability I have now sadly entrusted all mail and web related work.
Leopard is in my view simply a cosmetic upgrade and clearly has some BAD QT and web problems. Removing (on another correspondent's advice) the QT webplugin helped a little, so at long last I could run the otherwise unviewable Leopard demo on Apple's own website (ironic or what?); but opening, for example, Epson's website presented me still with loads of Q?s which are beginning to undermine my confidence in the new OS.
But thanks for your kind interest!

HT201302 copy/pasted videos have quicktime logo icons instead of a picture.. please help!

I manually copy/pasted my pictures and videos from my iphone into my computer. No problem coping, however videos copied into my computer as icons with quicktime face on them. I can't tell which videos is what! How can I change the face of the icons from quicktime logo to initial pictures of the videos? I thought this may be hapenning because I don't have a MAC, but when I view my videos via iphone icon in the computer, face of the videos are all there and normal. So, I guess the issue is not the type of the computer.

OK, this seems the closest thread to what's going on here. I've got a late-2008 Macbook Pro, 10.5.8. Icons on the desktop and in finder windows are showing generic icons instead of the application-specific ones. Funny thing is, if I do a relaunch of the Finder (option-click/hold Finder icon in dock to bring up the menu), the specific icons will show up, but after a second or two will switch back to the generic ones. ??

Is there a way to create a thumbnail for QuickTime videos on a PC? All the videos currently have the same QuickTime logo as there thumbnail.

Abdur,
In the sheet :: table :: cell that is going to receive the data, type an equals sign, then click on the cell that the data will come from and press Return.
This will require that you navigate to the origin cell by choosing the proper sheet.

Quicktime Logo Display Whilst Loading Video Content

We are currently building a HTML5 platform using VIDEOJS and have come up against an issue when using it on an ipad.
We have several videos loading in a sequence which can be played when an icon is selected. The platform works perfectly on a desktop but when viewing on an ipad there is a black flash with a quicktime logo signalling that the video is loading before being played.
Is there any known work around for this, can we customise or get rid of the quicktime logo at all? We have tried implementing the following code to push the video to the side before it loads fully but it is not bringing back the video for some reason, just the audio.
function bringbackvideo() { $("video").css("-webkit-transform", "translateX(0)"); } function hidevideo() { $("video").css("-webkit-transform", "translateX(-2048px)"); }
This workaround seems outdated since the last ios update -

What make and model of Firewall do you have on the PC, Mindy? When I went to check that video, my XP Windows Firewall gave me a message that it was blocking QuickTime, and wouldn't let me access the movie until I let it unblock QuickTime.

Live video image only shows Quicktime logo

I was watching a live stream on uStream then after a minute it changed to the Quick Time logo. I tried to reload the stream but it still showed the Quicktime logo. How do I fix this?

i have the EXACT same problem. Whenever i add new files and try to play them the clicking noise is LOUD and it does not stop for a good 10 seconds nad my IPOD begins to shake...
i would like to know the answer as well

My videos open and show only quicktime logo

SO thats it. My videos that I open show only Quicktime logo and the audio works normally. I have updated to the latest version and have a ipad 4. How do I get my video back?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Quicktime Logo w/question mark on certain photo's or video

How to view/hear pretty much everything:
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, 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 from http://uk.real.com/player/
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).
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.

Greyed out QuickTime logo in Netscape

I need to run the Netscape browser (7.2) for my online bank. I have noticed while surfing that I sometimes get a page with the QuickTime logo on it, but the logo is greyed out with a question mark superimposed on it. I assume this means that if all was well, a QuickTime video should be running. Can anyone tell me what might be going on?

All I have is this QuickTime ? Faq.
Good Luck!

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

Why doesn't Frontrow take the same video settings from QuickTime?

Hi,
I would like to play my video's in Frontrow. But when I do that, they aren't stretched on the entire screen. There are black sidebars. So I changed in Quicktime my settings for fullscreen, so the aspect-ratio from the video is equal to that from the screen. But it won't work in Frontrow. Someone knows the answer to this, because it's pretty important.

Front Row does use QuickTime to play videos, but it doesn't use the QuickTime Player directly. So, the QuickTime Player's preferences are not referenced. When playing DVDs, most DVD Player application preferences are ignored, but some are referenced. For example, if you change the DVD Player to use the digital optical audio of your computer, Front Row will use it the next time you play a DVD. So, it must be possible to get Front Row to look at some of the other preference files. I would suggest you send Apple some Mac OS X feedback so they know you'd like to have more control over the video playback options in Front Row.

Quicktime logo continually appearing with a question mark

Recently various pages viewed with Safari (and Firefox) are not displaying correctly and a Quicktime logo with a question mark is being shown. I thought I had perhaps erased a codec of some sort but I cannot solve the problem. I cannot view any flash animations, movies within web pages etc.
Help!!!

The Quicktime logo with a question mark refers to Flash video.
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything: 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 OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, 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 from http://uk.real.com/player/
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 repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!

Question mark on Quicktime logo

Just updated my Quicktime and everytime I try to go to something that requires Quicktime I get a logo with a broken corner or the Quicktime logo with a Question mark in the middle.
I have done everything I was supposed to, and it says it downloaded successfully, the logo is there but when I try to open anything I get the question mark.

I have had this problem too, and recently found a solution that worked for me over on this forum: http://sillydog.org/forum/index.php
(found by scouring google results for "quicktime question mark windows xp")
(also, I had already changed QT's MIME settings so that it wasn't handling Flash swf movies -- it didn't help)
the solution goes as follows:
copy this file >C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll
to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins
That did it for me.
Hope that helps.
This worked for me.
Now I can watch trailers on the Apple site again.
the flash plugin you'll be moving is version 8.0 r22, which replaced my newly installed version 9.0 r16. I have no idea why this worked... Anyone have any input on that?

QuickTime logo with a question mark on it

Some websites i go to show a picture or video instead a faint quicktime logo with a question mark shows up. How do I get rid of it and show the picture or video instead?

I find it interesting that this is clearly a topic of interest since 450 people have clicked on it---significantly more than the other questions on this page---and yet, NO ANSWER.
I have not been able to download Apple trailers. For instance, just went to a link to download the trailer for You Kill Me:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/youkillme/
Click on Medium size for the screen, so I go here:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/youkillme/medium.html
A little button says you have to have version 7 of Quicktime which I keep downloading, since I keep trying to see trailers.
Although I know I've downloaded this software in the past, I'm getting the crazy Quicktime Q with a question mark.
So I go so far as to download Quicktime 7, yet again, then Restart. Try the movie. Still get the question mark in the Q.
What is up with this??????

How can I preview video files in quicktime

How can I preview video files in quicktime by click on the space bar like i use to with leopard?
I like to pull up all of my video files and arrowing down and hitting the space bar and previewing them.
I cannot do that with all of my video files just some of the video files are able to be previewed.
Some of the files show a thumb of the video and some just show the quicktime logo are other logos
I am running the latest Lion
Thanks.

You need to investigate BLOB = Binary Large Objects.
Start with Google where you will find plenty of info to start with.
Next time, you'd better mentioned the OS and Oracle version (4 digits) that you are using.
HTH,
