The operation could not be completed. Has a quicktime player icon with yellow !
Can't properly answer your question...without knowing what model Mac you have, and what OS version it's running.

Do you have the latest version of "Flash" installed?
Did you do any purposeful or accidental deleting of system/OS files recently?
Are you trying to watch videos from a specific website? If so...which website? Knowing the website may help.

Adobe flash is not installing into Applications - only uninstall in utilities-it's on screen and in
Finder.
The videos i am trying to watch are from igb.ie and site says use Opera browser and
Flip4Mac both installed but still don't work

Do you have Perian installed? That enables Quicktime to play just about anything.

I'd also recommend installing VLC Media Player, which includes a slew of codecs for just about any video type imaginable.
VideoLAN - Official page for VLC media player, the Open Source video framework!
