Why won't Quicktime 10.3 run on Firefox 32.0?

I'm trying to play movie previews on trailers.apple.com. Firefox says I must download Quicktime, but Quicktime is already installed on my MacBook.

Thanks, Noah. I can't reinstall QuickTime because the version I have is essential to my OS. The plot thickens...

  • Why won't Quicktime open my podcast in Firefox or Netscape?

    I have created a podcast for my class and stored it on my college's server. It will open fine in Safari but the faded blue Q with a question mark appears if I try to open it in either Firefox or Netscape. Is there a plug-in issue here? I would appreciate some help on this one. Thanks.

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

  • HT3775 why won't quicktime play .mp4?

    why won't quicktime play .mp4? I just downloaded a 1.2 gig mp4 video that won't play.

    Thanks. I just found it strange that it was one of many files that I ripped from a DVD ( part of a box set of a TV series, and all the others were fine so far. Funny that this one in particular was causing a problem.

  • Why Won't QuickTime Play Video?

    Hi,
    I use a Power Mac G4; run Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger; QuickTime 7.6.4.  Why won't QT play the following video:
    www.globalwebsupply.com/images/mdsmarttool.asx  ?

    I use a Power Mac G4; run Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger; QuickTime 7.6.4.  Why won't QT play the following video:
    www.globalwebsupply.com/images/mdsmarttool.asx  ?
    1) The Advanced Stream Redirector (ASX) format is not supported by QT X.
    2) The Advanced Stream Redirector (ASX) format is not supported by QT 7 without third-party support such as the Fil4Mac WMV components.
    3) Even the Flip4Mac WMV component only "supports a small subset of the ASX file format."
    On my system:
    1) Trying to play the file directly in QT X using the "Open Location..." option returns the fillowing message, "The movie 'mdsmarttool.asx' can’t be opened because the file is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands. The file may be damaged or may not be a movie file that is compatible with QuickTime Player."
    2) Trying to play the file directly in QT 7 using the "Open URL..." option returns the following message in the "Inspector" window, "Movie Unavailable."
    3) Trying to download the linked file does nothing. (Aborts action without any message.)
    4) Trying to open the URL in Safari returns the following message, "The operation couldn't be completed. A Microsof Media Server (MMS) error was encountered. (-19160) Try again. If the problem persists, contact the website administrator."
    Based on these results, it would appear that there may either be an access problem or a file type support problem.

  • WHY WON\'T QUICKTIME HOME MOVIE PLAY ON TOUCHSMART

    Why won't a quicktime home movie play on touchsmart 310
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Have you installed the quicktime software from Apple? There are other players that may also have the required codecs to play the video.
    That is what is required in order to play a quicktime movie.

  • Why won't quicktimes and mpegs import into iTunes?

    I'm trying to make a playlist of videos in iTunes. Several of my movies won't import when I drag and drop them. Some were created in Final Cut Pro 7 as basic MOV. One is an MPEG I received frome someone. Why won't they import?
    thanks

    Sorry, I assumed that you were shooting RAW + jpg.  What I think you are now saying is that you have a shoot in which some of the files were shot in RAW and some in jpg?  In that case, I don't know why it would only import RAW on the first go round and jpgs on the second. When I have mixed files (I shoot only RAW, but panoramas  are by definition only jpgs), they all import on the first try. In fact, even video files come in at the same time.
    If you did shot RAW+Jpg then you could either check the box, in which case you will see two files, or uncheck it, in which case you will see one (with the other hidden). But since that's not the case, that check box doesn't apply to you.
    Right.  Most of my shots are jpegs.  But on rare occasions, I want a RAW file so I hit the RAW button on the X100 and then shoot RAW for one shot.  This last import I had 10-15 RAW shots and they would not import along with all the jepgs.  This happens everytime I have mixed file formats.  Very frustrating.
    Thanks for trying!

  • Why Won't QuickTime Run?

    First off, this is not a Leopard specific issue. I had it under Tiger and hoped that with an Erase and Install of Leopard followed by the use of Migration Assistant I could get around it. Well, it hasn't worked.
    Whenever I try to view any QT file, be it a movie trailer or an Apple Ad or some kind of demo on the Apple web site, all I get is a screen with a big "Q" and a question mark. I have tried several fixes of this while I was running Tiger and none worked. I keep thinking it's a file association problem, or some kind of Plist issue, but those are just guesses. Also I run VLC and wonder if something got messed up along the way there. I am not 100% sure of this, but I thought that between the time I did the Erase and Install of Leopard and the use of Migration Assistant, I think it worked. That would point to some kind of config file somewhere perhaps. This only appears to be a problem when I am trying to view something using the browser, because if I were to download a file from, say, Apple.com in a .mov format, that plays fine.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Upgraded to 10.0.12.36. No improvement. I'm also running QT plug-in 7.5.5. Not that it should make any difference, but I am also running iTunes 8.0.1.
    Is it stuff like this that is keeping Apple from putting Adobe Flash on the iPhone?
    -Bill
    I don't have iPhone or any of those perifs, but since you had this issue since Tiger, I am sure it has nothing to do with any of Apple's recent stuff.
    Usually one should only upgrade when everything is running as perfectly as possible. Upgrading a broken system may actually obfuscate the problem.
    I would uninstall all the QT apps and plugins and start over. It's clear that something happened when you were running Tiger and you used either the default or archive and install and migrated the problem with you.
    It's not an Apple issue. Most users seem to have no problems playing embedded QT material. In fact your issue is the first one in this regard I have seen on these boards.
    Some other things:
    Create a new user and see if the problem still exists (I suspect it will, since the QT files are in the system folder).
    Run the disk utility and repair HD and permissions.
    Look at the console error log when you attempt to play an embedded QT file and see what it says.
    Did you post anything when you first had this problem with Tiger? Did you get any helpful information?

  • Why won't QuickTime Pro validate and install?

    I purchased QT Pro and have QT 7.6.7 installed already. But the registration process won't accept my registration code. Not sure why unless it is because when I open Control Panel and then open Quick Time (32-bit) that means QT Pro is not compatible with my 64-bit PC running Win7. Any suggestions?

    Make sure you're entering in both the user name and key code exactly as in the email Apple sent you. Any error in either, including leaving off a salutation (for instance, if the email says "Mr. John Smith") will cause the registration to error.
    Also make sure you purchased a key for the correct platform (Windows or Mac). QuickTime keys are not cross-platform.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why won't QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 open my MIDI files?

    Have QT Pro 7.0.4, OS 10.4.6, Safari 2.0.3 on eMac computer. Downloaded MIDI from Classical Music Archives but file won't open. When try to open it, get message on eMac screen "QT cannot open the file tmcpsolf.mid It is not a file that QT understands (-2048)". I could open MIDI files from any source easily in OS 9.0.4 with QT Pro.
    I checked MIME settings in QT preferences, and MIDI is checked as "on".
    Also can't open MIDI file in eMac of piano music I saved on floppy disk from my Yamaha digital piano MIDI recorder. Get same message as above.
    What can I do to get QT to open and play MIDI? Thank you.
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Hello,
    Sorry for such a long message, but I want to make sure you have all the correct information. Issue #1 is still unsolved. Issue #2 I solved (see below).
    Issue #1: QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 won't open Midi files created by external Midi recorder. QT does not recognize Midi file.
    Just to clarify, I have a digital piano without USB, so I can't connect the piano to my new eMac to record my music with a suitable computer based Midi recorder/synthesizer and related program. This is my first attempt at recording Midi on an external, not computer based Midi recorder.
    I have never tried to use any Midi recording process with my old iMac, OS 9.0.4, QuickTime 5.x
    A few days ago I purchased an old (but new, never been used), Midi recorder which does not have USB but it connects to my piano to record as Midi what I play and save on its built in floppy disk. I use the in and out Midi portals on my piano and Midi recorder to send signals back and forth to the recorder, and play the music back in the piano so I can hear what I just played. That part works fine. The recorder is limited to only one Midi track per file for
    recording music.
    The floppy is MicroSoft DOS format which I initialized with the recorder before using it per the recorder's manual.
    After recording several Midi files in the floppy, I wanted to hear them in my eMac and e-mail them. I assumed the Midi format would be recognized by eMac, regardless of the MicroSoft DOS format of the floppy, and that QuickTime would open them. Isn't .mid a generic extension recognized by Mac and QT as a Midi file?
    The eMac displayed the Midi files (.mid) on the desktop (I used Imation SuperDisk external floppy drive to transfer the Midi files to eMac). When I double clicked on these files to open them, I got the message I quoted above in my first posting, that QuickTime did not recognize the Midi file.
    Perhaps my recorder has some sort of code it assigns to the Midi it records that the Mac and/or QuickTime can't recognize? Or QT won't recocgnize a one track Midi file?
    Do you have any guess as to why QT won't recognize my .mid files?
    Issue #2: QT won't open Midi music I download from classicalarchives.com
    This issue I solved a few hours ago - see below.
    In my old iMac, OS 9.0.4 I would double click and listen to Midi music files at classicalarchives.com or any other url via QuickTime Pro 5.x, no problems.
    I also downloaded, saved and opened them with QT 5.x
    In new eMac, when I double click the Midi file on web, QT automatically opens usual player window and I can listen to Midi OK.
    When I save file as "Source" from the above QT window, it is a Midi file (.mid) which QT will not open on the desktop, I get identical "not recognized" message I get with Midi recorder files.
    I found a solution to opening and hearing the downloaded file as follows:
    When I save Midi file via QT player window as "QuickTime Movie" (.mov), I can open it with QT and listen to it. So, Issue #2 is solved in order to listen to the Midi I download.
    Thank you for your time and trouble. Please advise re Issue #1 before we close this case as "unsolved".

  • Why won't my downloaded programs run?  I have downloaded Java and a Cardo Scala bluetooth updater, they downloaded, and installed but won't run or be recognized/detected by the respective websites.

    I have recently downloaded an "updater" program for my Cardo Scala bluetooth helmet headset and the most recent Java update for OS X 10.6.8  Both times the download was sucessful, when the installer ran, it said it was installed successfully BUT...in both cases it doesn't appear to run.  Both respective websites don't recognize it is loaded on my MacBook Pro.  Am I missing an installation step or have a setting wrong??
    Carl

    OK so here we go I installed windows again and everything seems to be working as normal so I put the disc in and I took screen shots but it won't load them for some reason but anyways here it is. These are the files and what happens when I click on them
    Audio file     audio files always able to access
    Video file     same as audio
    xSprocket     several worksheets and things like that
    xtras          more program files
    autorun      when I click on it saws notepad is too small I need a bigger editor
    readme      system requirements
    TN_active teach file     when opened on the mac side it says its a powerpc product it won't open and on the windows side it switches to mac and opens stuffit expander (the compression thing I told you about) and then creates a file with nothing in it
    TN_active teach application when I open it on windows it says its not a valid win32 application and on mac side it switches to windows and says the same thing
    the link you posted BobTheFisherman was very helpful except for the fact that I need to install it first but I tried anyways and the indicated files had not been made yet.
    In the end though I've come to the conclusion that it is not a Parallels or mac problem but simply one of the software I'm going to look for other windows programs to test how they work though just to prove my hypothesis I thank both of you for your efforts on helping me.

  • Why won't Quicktime 7.4.1 play .wmv files when Windows Media Player will?

    I am running OS 10.4.11 on a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver 2002. When I try to play .wmv files, the following message appears: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file." However, I can play such files using Windows Media Player. I have installed Quicktime 7.4.1. That hasn't helped.

    Thanks for the suggestions, but I already had Flip4Mac installed. However, I re-installed it, but I get the same disappointing message when I try to open .wmv files from Flip4Mac's "Quicktime Player." Perian doesn't work either. At http://lifehacker.com/software/quicktime/download-of-the-day-perian-mac-204423.p hp I read the following: Perian is a freeware plug-in designed to enable the playback of almost every popular video codec in Quicktime.
    In fact, pretty much the only major codec not supported by Perian is Windows Media Video files (WMV), but previously-mentioned Flip4Mac should take care of your WMV needs.
    I'd appreciate additional comments and suggestions.
