| QuickTime in VHJOE
QuickTime is a common technology used for displaying digital
video and sound on computers. QuickTime is required to view
the video and sound samples available on this website.
QuickTime from Apple is one of the most popular web plug-ins
for interactive media. Downloading and installing QuickTime
is easy and the plug-in is free from Apple. It will work on
nearly any platform, whether you're using Netscape Navigator,
MS Internet Explorer or even AOL.
Firewalls and QuickTime
Firewalls are designed to protect corporate information, but
they can also prevent you from viewing QuickTime streams.
This is because firewalls are frequently configured to block
data protocols that QuickTime uses for streaming. Use the
information on this page to set your QuickTime settings. Server
administrators can also use the information provided on this
page to safely set up servers to block unwanted traffic but
allow QuickTime streams in.
Troubleshooting
How do I get the free QuickTime software?
If you don't already have the QuickTime plug-in (a "plug-in"
is a piece of software), you can download it, free of charge,
from Apple Computer. It takes just a few minutes to download
it onto your hard disk and install it. From then on, it will
open automatically whenever you access QuickTime movies wherever
you are on the Web. QuickTime software is available for Windows
95 / 98 / NT / ME / 2000 / XP and for Mac OSX / 7.5.5 / 8
/ 9.
To download QuickTime, go to the QuickTime
website, enter your e-mail address in the box provided
under the "Download software now" header and follow
the directions for your system. After you've installed QuickTime,
come back to VHJOE and you should be able to view the video
and sound clips throughout the articles.
I think I have the QuickTime plug-in, but I still can’t
view the movies in VHJOE.
ß Reinstall the QuickTime plug-in software (Macintosh
or Windows) in ALL of the Internet browsers on your system.
If you initially installed the QuickTime plug-in only in MS
Internet Explorer and then you attempt to view the movies
in Netscape Navigator, you will not be able to view the movies,
as the plug-in hasn't been installed in that browser.
If your computer is behind a firewall, contact your network
administrator for the correct option to select and information
to enter. Your network administrator may have installed a
proxy application and you need to configure QuickTime to work
with this application.
The Windows Media Player logo appears when I try
to play a QuickTime movie, but the movie never plays. What
is going on?
Your computer system is configured to try to play QuickTime
files in Windows Media Player instead of in QuickTime. Windows
Media Player will be unable to play QuickTime movies found
on the VHJOE site. Re-install QuickTime; we recommend downloading
a fresh copy of the current version using the links above.
