Quicktime plugin not working in Safari or Firefox

[vinayasurya]

I switched from PC to iMac last week . I am very excited by the performance of Mac OSX and display of the new 21.5" iMac. The only problem I face is that quicktime movies are not played in safari/firefox. Safari waits indefinitely for loading the quicktime movie , firefox shows a big 'Q ?'. Don't know what that means.

This frustrating because I can't view any of the tutorial movies in the apple website. It is ironic that apple's own format is not playing on the new iMac.

The OS is Mac OSX 10.6.2 . Flash is playing well in the same machine. I am new to mac . Please help.

Can u guys suggest any program to download quicktime from safari? I think that is the only possible solution.

I think apple needs to work more on the QA team before passing products to customers.

I agree, it is total BS lately. Even to create Quicktime X for snow leopard but leave 7 on for compatibility issues is VERY Microsoft thing to do. Shame on apple.
