QuickTime 7.1.5 Gets ? in Q; can not play

Slight modification to my strange suggestion from before, someone fixed the issue by opening both GarageBand and Audio MIDI Setup, and quitting them, and that fixed it. Still sounds strange, I know.

Did you open the Audio MIDI Setup? It's in your Utilities folder. Make sure it's set to; Format 44100 Hz 2ch-16bit.

Hi,
I down loaded QT 7.1.5 upgrade. Now all I get is a Q
with a ? in it and can not play video or audio.

Any body know how to correct this? and what happened?
bug in upgrade?

I deleted orginal, downloaded new copy several times,
still no video/audio.

Thanks.

Flip4Mac informs me that the problem of Quicktime logo with ? mark is a Java issue. The problem started with the latest JAVA upgrade. Flip4Mac will release a new script in early April that will enable the Flip4Mac Internet plug-in to function. Meanwhile, I suggest that you uncheck the plug-in in your WMV preferences to allow you to receive and play streaming video using Microsoft's Windows Media Player, version 9, if you have it installed in your Mac. No other remedy can work, so you can stop waisting your time with installing and reinstalling Quicktime.

What worked for me is in Safari-Preferences-Security, uncheck enable java.

Hi-

I just want to say thank you for the tips. It helped out a lot. Now Safari is up and running like it used to. Thanks again.

I figured it out. I promise this will work!

1) Open Quicktime System Preferences
2) Go to Advanced Panel
3) U-N-check Enable Flash
*4) Click Mime Settings
*5) Under Mime Settings: Click Restore Defaults

I believe Step 5 is the Key, Not 3.

Worled for me....(Remember this is all in System Preferences -- not quicktime player preferences)

You are correct, it does work.

For others w same problem, do what the man says and then try this QT intensive url

OMG ...... am I NOT the only schlemiel to get this??? No play no see no hear no nothing dead d e a d.

It's a NEW MacBook and no reason whatsoever for it to go ape on me.

N O N E.

I have been fighting with this OS and q.time for 5 hours and about to re re re install everything. Tried onyx and permission repair, TCC and more .. noted that this "? Q " appears in YouTube and Google. I use Quicktime Pro (kosher) and the vs is 7.16 not not QUITE 5. Anyhow it is driving me crazy.

If anyone has help or hope for me please email me! This mac is going to join the Dell from **** in the trash which is a shame 'cos it's kind of great for the video edits I do. CURSES.

Appreciate it!

A guy back in March had the answer that worked for me today. I'll quote what he said. I followed his directions and it worked. Once done with his instructions, I did have to quit Safari and restart her again. Good luck:

Go into the QuickTime area of System Preferences, and in the Advanced tab look at the Mime settings. Under Miscellaneous is Flash media, that should not be checked, unless you're an extreme optimist! QuickTime can only really handle Flash 5 or earlier movies, and Flash is currently on v9.

OK WHAT WORKED FINALLY WAS q.t. in preferences ,advanced,mime,restore default,recheck all EXCEPT MISC.,o.k. YOU MUST LOG OUT,I REPEAT LOG OUT,LOG BACK IN,PROBLEM SOLVED FOR ME, HOPE IT HELPS SOME OF YOU GUYS AND GALS TOO! KEVIN H. ***********ALMOST FORGOT,UNCHECKED THE KIOSK AND FLASH MODES TOO!!! GOOD LUCK

I am an optimist, really I am, and I believe the above solution, like many I've come across today regarding the problems borne in the QT 716 update of 5/1/2007 , probably did work for a few folks. What I don't understand about this "update" .....
(1) I had Player 9, QT 7, various other plug-ins, along with my preferences and the most current software updates, all set for the very choices that are now being suggested, by some writers here, as choices that didn't or were "lucky" to work with QT 7.1.5 (or the recent 7.1.6).
Yet, my system DID work -- fast, flawless, and on all cylinders. With the MayDay download of the QT 716 bomb, I've joined a cast of thousands who are suffering multiple handicapped points of their Mac's functionality.
(2) Why isn't my QT 7 working now? It was before the 7.1.6, it still ought to be.
(3) Why am I -- and others -- searching the web for a "workaround" in what is a much-vaunted application of Mac? If the update is buggy, admit that it is flawed and FIX IT.
Maybe we could offer a prize....
