Quicktime won't work...
 

So, when I went to see the X3 trailer at SpikedHumor, it showed the little Quicktime thing torn in half. I tried a few more videos, and none of them worked either. I didn't know how to fix anything that would be wrong with Quicktime itself, so I decided to just reinstall it.

So I did. But I had to install iTunes with it. I uninstalled that as soon I was done.

I tried the video again, and now I get the Quicktime Q with a ? in it.

Help?

Ha, don't install the quicktime with iTunes, es crap. I just snagged a copy of the program of torrentspy, it runs great now. I had the same problem as you.

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

I think it's SpikedHumor's fault because it didn't work on our PC either. Just download it directly from the link they provide right below:

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

that doesnt make a difference, its fine for if you dont want to install itunes with it, but unless that quicktime is a older version then its the same quicktime.
the problem is plugin related, not the program itself.


altho on that note, they really should offer quicktime as a seperate download for thoes who dont want itunes with it.

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

No, its not just SpikedHumor. Nothing that uses Quicktime is working... Not even just videos... The big...things on IGN's frontpages all are showing the Q symbol... :(


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

So, uh, does anybody know how to fix it...?


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

you dont give us the chance to help, you keep walking away and shrugging like you dont even care.

:p

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

Should IGN be showing those? I remember when Flash was being told to open in Quicktime instead of Flash Player and for all flash animations the broken Quicktime would arrise.

Doesn't SpikedHumor use Flash to display their videos?

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

Wha!?!? iTunes is the best program in the world, what are you talking about.

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

I didn't want iTunes for the longest time so I held off on updating quicktime, but upon gettiing my Mac I learned that iTunes is fantastic. You should be getting it anyways, it really is the best program for music out there.

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

i have a feeling he was joking about that. :p

but i like itunes, it is a usefull program to have, a lot of nice feature, but not the best program for music out there. its a pretty bad one for encoding music, it only does a very basic mp3 or thier aac format, which honestly, pretty much the same as mp3, just cant use it with as many things as mp3's can.


But i agree for what it gives you, most people would be better off having it on thier pc then without.

but for the original comment, i really wish they'd offer both thoes as seperate downloads.

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

Me have no ipod, me more than content with no itunes

That's the main reason I torrented quicktime, I wanted to get it seperate from itunes.

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

.... :baby:

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

So, it works on Internet Explorer, but not FireFox O_o


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

Yeah, for all the YouTube, SpikedHumor, etc. links, I always have to view them in IE. It never bothered me enough to ask anyone how to make that stuff viewable in Firefox.

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

*cough* plugins *cough* as i said already :p

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

But that doesn't help me at all? What about the plugins? How do I fix it? What do I do?


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

well i was gunna but you walked away again! and why you keep shrugging? if you dont care dont ask!

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

YouTube won't work for me in Firefox. I really need help.

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

well its supposed to be, that if you install Quicktime AFTER firefox is installed, quicktime will automatically install the plugins for firefox.


if you put your quicktime on first, you could try reinstalling it (i wouldnt think you'd have to uninstall, just install it again over the one of you have)


BTW, on the earlier subject of offering quicktime without being packaged with itunes. aparently they do. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
Quicktime 7 by itself.

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

Its still not working....


/me doesn't move

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

not only spiked humor then? any qt video?

like... http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/tl...er/medium.html
or... http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramo...ii/medium.html

none of them play?

do you have any .mov files you can play in quicktime off your pc? and if they play, try rightclicking the fire, open with... and choose quicktime and check the box that says always use this program. not sure what diff that would make on a webpage file tho.

Also, in your firefox folder (where its actually installed) in the plugins folder there, it should have a bunch of npqtplugin files, and a quicktimeplugin.class File.


And Finally, What Firefox version do you have? (goto help, about firefox, and it says the version)

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

Just go here to install plugins manually....

https://pfs.mozilla.org/plugins/

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

thats what i was looking for at first...
and i know i've seen a place that gives em out to do manually... but correct me if im wrong here..

that site only links you to the quicktime download.

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

Its any QT video, or thing, at all. Even advertisements that I guess were done by Quicktime don't either. Neither do any of the IGN sites.

Anyway, the version is: 1.5.0.1


/me stays

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

so you cant even play a quicktime video off your pc? or just in firefox is what im asking.



What you could try is going into the plugins folder and deleting all the QT plugins for firefox, and then reinstall QT and see if its puts the ones in it needs.

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

I just can't play them in Firefox.


/me stays

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

So, I reinstalled both Firefox and Quicktime, and now it works. I don't get it. Computers confuse me...


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

Now it doesn't...work...anymore... Why... I don't... Not even an hour...

/me sighs

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

sounds like your going to a webpage thats altering the way the plugins work, changing how it opens that file on the page or something.

Re: Quicktime won't work...
 

Xanga... Youtube... Mozilla.... Gametavern.... Umm... I think that's all I went to... I downloaded some themes and one extension, but I didn't before, so I don't think that's what made it mess up...

Is there anyway to keep that from happening?
