never mind - I did the preferences mime thing and restarted, all seems okay now ... I'll keep my fingers crossed!


didn't work for me ... ready to scream!


Click on your system preferences and go to
QUICKTIME.Go to advanced and uncheck ENABLE
FLASH.Then log back onto Comcast thru Safri.It

worked
for me.Good luck.

Excellent! I unchecked the "Play Flash Content" in the QuickTime preferences, logged out and back in, and now all works well again.

It is odd that quicktime does not play well with newer versions of Flash. Would have never thought of that. I usually like to keep it checked on so i do not have to have to many plugins installed, but in this case, i will have to make sure that both flash and quicktime are kept up to date.

Thanks again!

I'm having the exact same problem on all four of my browsers: Safari, Netscape, Firefox, IE...

I even updated Flip4Mac and Flash Player, and did the garage band and midi thingy, and nothing is helping! I only updated today because I wanted to purchase Quicktime Pro. I'm a filmmaker and I need to view movies on the internet! Quicktime was operating on Safari, before I upgraded that, so how's THAT for an additional problem?

HELP!

Okay!

Now, I upladed Opera, and the quicktime 7.2 works with it (it did just now, but for how long?), so what's the deal? I have 4 other browsers that are not working, yet one is. Can it be a browser problem? I had no problem with the slightly older version of quicktime on any browser!

Is Apple on top of this? I really need help!

Yay!

I got all my browsers working. After talking to a totally useless Apple tech guy, I went to do some more research and I found from some site that said that someone had simply removed their VLC Plugin.plugin and their Quicktime Plugin.plugin from their root library folder, internet plugins and the problem was gone.

I didn't have a VLC Plugin.plugin, but I 'did' have the Quick Time one and I trashed it. The browsers have to be disconnected to do this, okay? Anyway, now all seems back to normal...

I hope that this works for all of you who are having the same problem with movies and other things on browsers!
