Safari Quicktime Plugin Not Working

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923

Try installing QuickTime Player 7.6.6. You can use two different versions of QuickTime in Snow Leopard and Lion.

Safari Help menu / Installed Plug-ins

What does it show regarding QuickTime?

I was unable to view .mov files in Firefox. What seemed to fix it for me is to copy the quicktime.plugin from

[hdd name]/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder into [username]/Library/Internet Plug-Ins.

Hope this helps.

I think that Linc Davis has a solution. At least it worked for me. If you have the plug-in installed do this:

Quit Safari.

Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:

☞ If running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Libraryfrom the Finder menu bar.

☞ If running an older version of Mac OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and enter “~/Library” (without the quotes) in the text box that opens.

Delete the following items from the Library folder:

Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db

Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist

Preferences/QuickTime Preferences

Relaunch Safari and test.

Thanks a lot Davis

I did a Safari Reset of some of the items (history, website data, website previews, etc) and the Quicktime Plugin started working again.

Two versions of Quicktime are on this computer 10.3 and 7.6. I still get that a plugin is missing when I try to hear embedded midis on websites. However, I can see and hear videos on utube just fine. I would like to hear people's embedded midis on websites.

I will try and see if resetting Safari works. Right now It asks for the things to be reset--some I do not want reset right now .

10.9.1 update removed support for MIDI playback in a browser. QuickTime Player 7 can still play them as local files.

You can confirm this by viewing the Help menu / Installed Plug-Ins page. No mention of the .mid file extension.

Thanks, bro.

That work for me.
