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.

  • HT2666 Why won't my rented movie play?

    I'm  trying to play my rented movie for a second time within the 48 hour period in Australian, but when I click play, nothing happens, over and over.  Tried turning it off and on etc.  Anyone have any fixes for this?

    I probably should add to it's on my apple tv.  I'm a savvy user, so the normal answers probably won't help as I've already tried everything obvious.

  • Why won't QuickTime 10.0 play GIFs?

    Saved GIF files play readily in QuickTime 7.7 on my MacBook, but will not even open in QT 10.0 on my iMac.  Why? Suggestions?

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

  • HT1657 Why won't my rented movie play?

    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.

    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.

  • My Apple TV 2 won't accept home movies from iTunes

    My Apple TV 2 won't accept certain home movies from iTunes but my Apple TV 3rd generation will. Some of my older home movies play on both units. Whats different about my new movies?

    Winston,
    I've been having connection problems with my ATV2 for quite some time. Internet connections are fine, regardless of whether wired or via Ethernet, but it simply won't connect to my iTunes library (spinning wheel for ever). What "irks" me here is your comment below:
    I'm a little concerned by the Apple TV not being seen in iTunes when you try to restore by micro USB, this is pretty much a last resort repair.
    Is the ATV2 supposed to show up in iTunes and if so, how/where? It sure doesn't show up in my iTunes! I seem to be able to connect, as when I try to close iTunes after one of my many attempts to stream a movie I close iTunes it complaines that there's one or more ATVs connected.
    @Peter: please do respond here as to whether a replacement ATV2 has solved your problems ... don't really want to shell out more money for it, but if it solves the problems...

  • Why won't the full song play?

    Hi bsiria,
    If you are having an issue with one or more songs not playing completely, you may want to troubleshoot this by using the steps in this arcticle -

  • TS1717 Why won't the preview song play for more than 10 seconds?

    Why won't the preview song play for more than 10 seconds?

    Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
    Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
    ... and then click OK.
    Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

    Why won't u-tube videos play in safari?

    There wasn't an answer, just a question.  If you can provide a little detail around what's actually happening, and more about the environment (e.g. what model computer, its configuration, etc) it'll help people provide a solution .

  • 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 doesn't my embedded movie play when I export s a video?

    I am trying to export my project in keynote 09. However, the embedded movie does not export and when the movie plays it gets stuck on that slide where the embedded movie is. I even tried opening the file with 08 ( I shouldn't have upgraded) and it can't be opened. Any advice?
    Thanks!
    OS 10.8.4

    From my experience, most Windows users do not have QuickTime player installed on their machines.
    The alternative is to provide PDF or PowerPoint, but the software for these are not installed by default, and  of course Keynote is a Mac only application, so you are very limited in how they will easily view your presentation.
    I always provide Windows Media Video files for PC users, this requires separate software to be purchased to convert Quicktime to WMV.   Fip 4 Mac Studio
    I have had on occaision to supply clients with JPEG image files as this was the only method they could view the presentation as they were prevented from installing additional software.
    You will need to ask your users if they are prepared to install additional software and if they want video or a slide presentation.

  • 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!
