QuickTime Player blocks Sonoma

I fixed it now on my MacBook pro.

Open QuickTime go to quicktime menu, select service settings, mine did not have ticks only little blue lines so I selected - restore defaults button and now all is okay no more crashing or quicktime problems.

I also have problem with the Sonoma OS freezing with the VLC and Apple TV. Any video program. I have to shut down the whole computer.

I called Apple Care and I went through the process of reinstalling Sonoma OS. Still today, it froze up twice as I was trying to play a video.

This is a big bug!

I'm having a different but probably related problem. When I try to play a video with Quicktime, the computer doesn't freeze, Quicktime doesn't hang, but instead QT treats the mpeg file like an audio file and plays only sound, with a bit of popping and hissing mixed in. The issue recurred with every file I tried. QT Version 10.5 (1170.4.13.1). Sonoma 14.1.1 (23B81). MacBookPro18,3.

Yes I updated to Sonoma and QuickTime icon goes to the bottom of the screen but it won't open up on the screen to play anything. But I have downloaded Final Video Player app from the App Store it has a free version but it took ages to read the dvd in my portable dvd player for computers.

Ok found the solution here, looks to work as stated here

Quicktime player won't launch - Apple Community

I cannot hide the quicktime player panel in Sonoma operating system. Is there anyone else having the same problem? After selecting fade panel after inactivity in system settings, it still does not hide the panel. Thank you.

Both QuickTime Player and Apple TV are Apple products. You would think that Apple in developing updates in OS would have compatibility with these products. Is there no solution from Apple experts? My equipment is MacBook Air M1 2020 - 16 GB Memory. I have also had a problem with Apple Mail freezing since I updated to Sonoma. The issue with Apple Mail happens in two scenarios - an email with a large attachment or an email with hundreds of BCC email recipients. The email is stuck in Outbox and the program will not open without freezing immediately. I'm sharing this email issue in this thread about video players with this question. Could the freezing issue be due to a memory issue (though I have 16 MB)?

This solution is working for me, too. Thanks!

Well I thought it had sorted it but I have now had several more lock-ups/crashes when using Quicktime so although this did sort it for a while its back and I have no idea why.

I am using an LG screen mirrored, supplied by Apple with my 16inch M1 Max connected via the original USB-C cable supplied with the monitor. I cannot be the only editor in the world using this screen in this mode. APPLE need to sort this one quick time.

This issues happens with me when I try screen capture. I press record. Nothing happens no control bar. Try to save No options Only way out is to Quit- no recording major workflow problem for teacher using QuickTime to teach !!!

Another issue is that I even when the screen capture appears to be working (but does not save) QuickTime does not allow mouse to click on items in the screen and change text or edit copy.

Perhaps I got spoilt using iShowU software and QuickTime does not have this facility.

Anyway my solution at the moment is to forget QuickTime altogether and film the screen and action with my iPhone

How much money is Apple making ??

On my Macbook Air with Sonoma it does not want to save recordings. Tried it a couple times for different folders, its frustrating. Keeps giving the message 'can't save the recordings'

same problem here! also a problem with Adobe Acrobat > impossible to make a print

Has a solution been offered yet? I'm having the same problem and I'm so frustrated? Is there an alternative to Quickplayer?
