    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.

  • Quicktime won't finish install on Windows 7

    I'm running Quicktime 7.7.1 on Windows 7 Pro. Everytime QT 7.7.4 is offered to me by Apple update I try to install it but it never completes for "reason unknown."  It suggests that I download and install manually, but that also always fails "unsuccessful."  This is probably a minor upgrade, but I've been trying to do it for about six months now and it never completes. I'm just curious as to why? I have the CS6 suite and I know it makes use of quicktime, so I know it's working but why can't I upgrade?  Any help would be appreciated.

  • 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 itunes work with windows 8.1?  i tunes can not locate my music.

    Why won't windows 8.1 let itunes locate my music?  I deleted and downloaded, still won't do it.  But like majic after I installed windows 8.1 my computer had a XBOX music player appear, that found my 3200 songs and it was able to play the entire library no problem.  Any ideas on how i get itunes to start working with windows 8.1?

    Hi zachwill10,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To resolve this issue you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:

  • 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.

    If it's 2nd gen, are you using the USB cable that came with it, that has a mini-dock at the iPod end?

  • CS3 won't re-install on Windows 7

    I've been using CS3 on my Windows 7 machine for a few months now but then my programs wouldn't open. After trying a few things without success, I decided to uninstall and then re-install it.
    The disc runs and it shows that each of the programs is installed but at the bottom it says "CS3 premium didn't install." Whenever I try to open one of the programs, I get a message saying the license has expired.
    Has anyone else experienced something similar? If so, how did you resolve it? I've tried all of the suggestions in the knowledge base, but nothing has worked.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Just today I performed an OS reinstall. I took disk image snapshots (using Paragon) after each phase of reinstalling my system. I performed the following (in order):
    Clean install of Windows 7 64 bit
    Applied all Windows updates
    Disk snapshot
    Joined the "new" system to my windows domain (SBS 2003 - connect computer)
    Disk snapshot
    Installed my new CS4 Web Premium upgrade - this succeeded
    Updated all CS4 applications
    Disk snapshot
    Installed Office 2007 and all Office updates
    Set up My Documents for off-line files
    Disk snapshot.
    So far, things have continued to work after each step. I believe CS3 hosed my system when I performed my CS3 updates. I may have originally installed before joined my domain and perhaps trying to update using my domain profile had something to do with the initial licensing error issue that started all my problems. And Customer Support told me to just uninstall/reinstall CS3 after that when Technical Support said I should have tried other things first. But I really had no confidence for anything the script-jockey said.
    It certainly was the fact that I had problems with CS3 first that I couldn't even get CS4 to install. And don't even try the CleanScript unless you perform a full OS backup first. That made changes to the security settings in my Office 2007 installation.

  • 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 my installed LR6 stay installed?

    I've installed my upgrade 4X now and it won"t stay installed. It disappears when I try to reopen it and I'm back to LR5 with none of the new features (HDR/facial recognition new editing erase brushes), LR6 splash page etc. The only place I can find LR6 is back on the computer's downloads. LR 5 has the banner at the top of "Lightroom 3 Catalog 6-3

    I have the same problem.

  • 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 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.
