We recently upgraded an iMac to Yosemite. Ever since the upgrade, Safari and Chrome cannot play Quicktime videos. It claims &quot;Plugin Failed&quot;. Chrome wants us to activate the plugin, as if it were not installed. Chrome confirmed the extension was there and was enabled.<br />
<br />
It leads us to a link on Apple's website which tells us that Apple updates Quicktime plugins automatically through &quot;Software Update&quot;. It appears our version of Quicktime (Quicktime X) was up-to-date. However, the &quot;Open With&quot; options for Quicktime videos included Quicktime X, and Quicktime 7.6.6 Removing Quicktime 7.6.6 didn't help. Trying to install 7.7 wasn't allowed since Quicktime X was already there.<br />
<br />
However: when we downloaded and installed Firefox (which hadn't been on the system), Firefox played Quicktime videos. Uninstalling and Reinstalling Chrome didn't help.<br />
<br />
Anyone have thoughts on this?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Mac Safari and Chrome Quicktime Plugin failed

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
