Exception message when using quicktime

[Rachael]

Hi I'm using a Mac OS X 10.10, with Image J 32 bit. When trying to import "using quicktime" I get this message:

ImageJ 1.49v; Java 1.6.0_65 [32-bit]; Mac OS X 10.10; 26MB of 1500MB (1%)

The movie opens in quicktime by itself and I've tried downloading older versions of ImageJ without the Quicktime option and then using a jar to add it and the same message then shows.

Any help would be appreciated, I'm not an expert on computers either so you may have to dumb it down... sorry!

You are getting this error because OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) does not include the libraries required by QuickTime for Java. You can work around the problem by downloading and installing the needed libraries using the instruction in the third paragraph of the OS X installation notes at

    http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/docs/install/osx.html

OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) is the last release of OS X that will support Java 6, required for running QuickTime for Java, so you should probably find a way to convert  your .mov files into another format. For example, by using QuickTime Pro to convert to a TIFF sequence or an uncompressed AVI.
