QuickTime 7.1.5 Gets ? in Q; can not play

When I updated QT to QT 7.2 I had the same problem. I updated Firefox at the same time so I didn't, and still don't know, which software was causing the problem. I went to the Firefox home page and clicked on plugins. I downloaded the latest Java, Flash and Reader plugins. When I installed these the problem went away. I suspect that it was either Java, Flash or both since both were out of date. Noe the problem is solved for both Firefox and Camino. If you are having this problem, try updating to the latest Firefox and downloading all the latest plugins. It worked for me.

I had the same problem except I lost Quick time on Fire Fox. It was still working fine on Safari though but after reading here about Flash Player 9 I tried that and all is well again. Thanks everyone.

I am having the same problem. I upgraded to QT 7.2.0 then purchased QT 7 Pro and now all I get is a Q+? when I try an open a video. Did you get an answer or a solution to this problem? Thank you if you could let me in on the solution. Vicki I have MacBook Pro Mac OS X

I can open quicktime video's now. I went to adobe.com and installed the latest adobe flash player 9 UB V 9,0,47,0. I also went into disk utility and did a 1. verify disk permission 2. verify disk 3. repair disk permissions on both my MacHD and 74.5 media. Thank you for your messages.

I went to adobe.com and then I installed adobe flash player 9 UB v 9,0,47,0. I also went to disk utility application and did 1.verify disk permissions 2 verify disk, 3. repair disk permissions on both Mac HD and my 74.5 Media. This all was done because I kept getting the ?Q after updating quicktime v7.2.0 and purchasing quicktime 7 Pro. I also updated my firefox. I'm not sure what caused the ?Q but I'm up and viewing videos again.

I found the same problem with Quicktime trying to play Flash swf files on the net. After a morning of searching forums came up with this fix.
In QT prefs go to advanced and click the MIME button - under Miscellaneous you'll find Flash Media - uncheck that.
I have rechecked several sites that had the error and rebooted Safari 3 or 4 times and didn't get the Q? symbol.

I'm somewhat comforted by the fact that there are others with the exact same issue. I have no idea what to do so if anyone has a solution please pass it along. I've done everything everyone else has to try and correct this issue. This included a 2 hour conversation with Apple Support just to be told to delete QuickTime from my computer and re-install. I am actually having this problem in both Safari as well as FireFox.

i have the same problem, videos don't work in either firefox or safari, i was wondering if tech support was any helpful.

Also wondering if anyone went to the genius bar for help?

thanks!!

this advice was helpful and fixed my QT issue. I hope that Apple folks read these, as it was the "cure".

thanks again.

I had the same problem for a few months, if I wanted to watch video I used Safari. I really like FireFox so I searched around and found if I downloaded Flash 9 it would do the trick. I did and I can play videos. Make sure you turn off all browsers when installing!

My Firefox and my safari have been giving me the question mark in the Q. I fixed it through the Quicktime settings, but it makes me wonder why my Firefox did it, while other's didn't.

Changing the MIME settings under Quicktime in System Prefs fixed the problem for me and I was experiencing the problem in both Safari and Firefox. Thanks Colin, you rock!

Today, after installing the new Safari, I am getting the ?Q when trying to open my kids Webkinz page.

Please tell me what to do
