El Capitan - quicktime player does not launch

I have a new Macbook Pro with El Capitan. It has very little software installed on it and I did not fundamental changes. I see the QuickTime Player icon in the Applications, but when I select it, it is to open a new search folder. The application does not start. Google and supportive research show no response to this and I can't download or install QT on the web site, as it is said that it is built in. Ideas?

Hi loadtester,.

Sorry for the confusion about QuickTime.  Yes, you are right that a Finder window appears.  If you had a file that you have wanted to play using QuickTime, select you in the Finder window and choose open.   If this is not the case, click done, and then head up to the menu bar in the upper left corner of your screen and next to the word QuickTime, you will see the file.  Choose file, and then click the option you want (new movie recording, etc.).  But before do you, click the help command on the menu bar, to learn how to use QuickTime Player.   The resources below will outline as well:

    • QuickTime Player does not read the sub file.

      I tried to watch a movie with subtitles using a randomly video player, but I'm having some problems now. So I tried to use QuickTime Player to my surprise, there was no possible way to do it, but to burn the subs in the movie file. How is it that such expensive equipment does not have a video player that can actually read subs?

      Please, take a look at this, I think that we should not have to download another video player to do this.

    • Quick Time Player does not work in El Capitan

      Now Quick Time Player does not work properly.  When I click to use it, the only thing it allows me to do is 'click to drag', while he was recording a screen, buttons disappear and the only way I can stop the recording is to go to the menu screen and exit the Quick Time Player.  So annoying!

      It also is not allowing me to change.  When I try to edit my videos and then save it, it says that it cannot save the file.

      None of this makes no sense at all.

    • CD\DVD player does not display the contents of the data DVD.

      CD\DVD player does not display the contents of the data DVD, but will display the content of the data CD.  What is happening on more than one PC, and it began when Active Directory GPOS have been applied for the PC.  If untying policies the problem persists.  What happens on DVD ROM and DVD RAM drives.  Scanning software has been added to these machines, think it might be an ASPI crush.  All these machines are XP SP3 running McAfee.  When you insert a DVD with data on this topic, the name of the drive in windows password DVD RAM drive to CD drive, and if you try and browse the DVD it displays as a blank CD.  I changed something on the PC with the policy but cannot understand what he.  Other identical PC can view the contents of the DVD very well, but they never had the same strategies.  Any ideas, thank you.

      I have firefox v29 and download real player does not work. What I would do. This option is enabled and the realplayer options are correctly set

      Most of the time after the release of a new version of Firefox, the modules can become inconsistent. It's the developer to solve these problems and update accordingly. You can contact the developer of their modules page.

      You can try to contact the RealPlayer support to see if they have any patches

      You can also use an alternative to RealPlayer (if you use it to download videos). These are based on the web and I'll give a few extensions so

      I use it every day and they work great.

      Thank you

      Hello

      There are two possible reasons why you are not able to copy anything to the CD or DVD.

      First, it may be possible that the drives used are not entirely compatible.
      In such cases, it s always advisable to test different CD and DVD from different manufacturers.

      Secondly, the issue could be related to a defective laser lens; in many cases, this can happen because of a physical constraint. If the laser lens can not calibrate in a good position, then the player will not be able to handle the inserted discs.
      This could be the worst case, because this issue is not repairable. Just a STRANGE replacement could help.
