OS X V10.3 :: Some Applications May Not Open After QuickTime 7.2 Update
Jun 26, 2012
I ran a software update of my macbook air so it is now OS X v10.5.8 but Quicktime did not update. It is still 7.3.2 Itunes says I need 7.5.5 or later. How do I update Quicktime? I've tried re-running the software update and it doesn't find anything.
I am trying to work on a resume and I can no longer open pages. The dialogue box just keeps telling me my current version is not compatible. I have iwork09' and Mac OSX 10.6.8.
Is there a way of defaulting .mp4 files to open in Quicktime? I'm experiencing an issue in which movie files in .mp4 format are for some reason opening in another application I use for audio editing.
I can still play the movie file in Quicktime, but only if I right click it and select it from the "Open With" menu.
Anyone else having trouble opening MPEG files in QuickTime? I was able to fine until installing Leopard. The file is not corrupt or anything. I tried several MPEG files and none of them open. I get the following message.
how to open several avi. movie files I have downloaded onto my Mac (version 10.5). First, I tried to open them just simply on QuickTime player, but a got a 'this is not a movie file' error message, so I Google'd and found advice telling me to download VLC in order to open avi files to QuickTime player. So, I downloaded VLC and tried to open one of the files with that - except when it opened on VLC there was no video and only the audio sped up really fast (you know, where they sound like chipmunks xD) and then it stopped. So, baffled, I then tried to open it again on QuickTime, but got that error message again *
So I Google'd a bit more, and found advice telling me to download DivX Player, which should open/play avi files - so, I d/w'd it.... but alas, the files wouldn't play audio or video, it didn't seem to show up.
I've looked on the info when it's opened on VLC, and it describes the streams (not sure what these are) as having both mpga and mpgv codecs.... so do I need to download a program that can open these files? Is there a codec program I need still?
i searched for this, but i didnt get anything useful...imovie doesnt open quicktime movies...but i need a software that can convert a QUICKTIME MOVIE to mp4 or youtube formats.
Jpegs and other media files that I could open on my MBA now give me error messages when I try to open them. I have Flip4Mac, VLC, and Perian installed, and I had no problems opening these files prior to the latest OS update.I'm a relatively new Mac user. I've tried repairing disk permissions and running the maintenance scripts.
I'm having an issue with Software Update on Quicktime 7.5.7 for a couple of weeks now.
When I try installing it, I get the following error:
The update �QuickTime� can�t be saved.
A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.
I already tried deleting the following files Library/Preferences com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist and the content of the Library/Updates folder, but the problem is persistent.
The strange thing is that I just was able to install a raw camera update without a problem... and since I just posted this, obviously, I can connect to the internet...
I am also unable to find a standalone updater file on Apple's download site... there are Quicktime 7.5.5 ones, but not for the 7.5.7 one.
I accidentyly clicked "Cancel" when iTunes asked to update Quicktime, now my online movies won't play without Quicktime. Any way that I could manually update it myself?
I can't open quicktime player. I just downloaded the newest free version from the apple site. When I click open it says "could not open because the specified format is not supported" I think that is a problem with what opens it? Everything is set to open with Textedit, I don't remember how or why. How can I get quicktime to open?
I have a few h.264 -mp4/m4v files that QTX can't open, but Quickview and QT7 handles with ease. The files have been made using Handbrake. Examining the info windows in QT7 on one movie that does work and one that does not, does not tell me much. they seem pretty identical. Info copied from opened files in QT7.
Not working: JVT/AVC Coding, 720 X 384, MillionerAAC, Stereo (L R), 48,000 kHz Working: JVT/AVC Coding, 704 X 400, MillionerAAC, Stereo (L R), 48,000 kHz
When I try to play downloaded movies in different formats such as AVI and MP4 .... it tells me that I dont have the proper "codex". I have been to the support link it sends me but all the other downloads will not able me to play movies...
Really lost here. Bought a used 10.7.4 equipped Mac Pro. QT either hangs or gives a -1712 error. Tried to find preferences to trash and I cannot find QT preferences or users Library. Have I been in the old Leopard world too long?
I am trying to open something in Quicktime with ".mkv at the end. I could not so I tryed DIVX+ and it said this "You may need an additional audio decoder to play the soundtrack of this file. This file contains a track in the Dolby AC3 Audio (code "8192") format. You may need to install a QuickTime™ component for this audio format in order to hear the soundtrack of this file." What do i do?
I'm on a PC, inspiron 1420, and attempting to watch a video in Quicktime. I needed to download the xvid component to Quicktime, and the component is in a .dmg file. I'm unable to open the .dmg file
Quicktime got corrupted, so i downloaded passifist and extracted it again from the install disk. the result was a complete quicktime that had all the files, but wouldnt open. How do i fix this? should i redownload mac OS X Lion to fix it or will it fix itself when mountain lion comes out?
I'm trying to play movies that I've downloaded from Frostwire and every time they open up in Quick Time it says is update is needed and a blank safari page opens. Probably should mention this is my first Mac and I've had it for a total of 6 hours.
I updated the new itunes and all but my quicktime wasn't able to update. it says that "the source media you are installing from is damaged". I tried dozens of times downloading quicktime from apple website and still got this same problem. Now i cant open itunes and other program related to quicktime because my quicktime has an older version.
You still can't have 10.6.2 open all .mov files in QUICKTIME PRO.. the change all still reverts back to QT (amateur/useless/covers up vital image area) X.
Sometimes, I get e-mails that contain clips that show a QuickTime icon and the letters WMV. They used to open automatically when clicked on. For the last few months, they don't. I get an error message:The movie could not be opened. It has a QuickTime icon on a yellow triangle and an exclamation point.
If I drop the clips on the Windows Media Player icon in the dock, they do open. Not so on the QuickTime icon.
Evidently, I have done something that causes the clips not to open automatically as before. I've checked both WMP and QT preferences, but I do not see anything, as far as I know, that would have caused the change.
I recorded a movie with isight-a very long one at that-around 3 hours. When I try to play back I receive error message "The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands." How to play? I have Quicktime Player 10 running from Snow Leopard. Inside the folder for the event in imovie it shows the movie file but with a zero kb size. Also has an imovie cache folder.
I have a few .wma movie files that I have created in (the horrible) "Windows Live Movie maker".
I wanted to be able to play these files on my iTunes, so I foolishly purchased QuickTime Pro after reading the description. "QuickTime 7 Pro can convert your media to different formats, so you can watch a movie or video on your iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV..". But it refuses to open any .wma files so that I can convert them. I keep getting the error message #2048. I read somewhere that installing new codecs might help...?
I've ripped my hair so much I have bald spots and they are growing by the minute Â
i have an imac g5 PowerMac12,1 that i bought a week ago. the itune won't open and says i need quicktime 7.5. i downloaded this but itunes still wont open.
