Black Screen for .avi format but audio does play

Hello
I have just imported an avi video file that i recently converted from flash... the convert format is:
H.264/AVC
Bit rate: 4500
Frame Rate : 30
The video plays fine in windows media player so i then file> import and I get just audio only. I have not installed any special codec packs, given it worked in media player i assumed i already have the codec... am i wrong in this assumption?
I don't really know how to debug the problem ?
Hope you can give me some advice here!

I presume you mean to play AVI. AVI is a container that can use many combinations of audio and video codecs. There is no single codec for AVI. Fortunately Perian enable Quicktime playback of many of these (but not in iTunes).
Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats. 2012- No longer being developed but may still work.
Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.

I had the power supply connected when I attempted it previously but even so my problem occurred. My rom is different and so I still need to update it.

I wanted to mark your answer helpful too but I didn't know that I could only put it for 2 answers. Sorry
That was good advice by G-N and s/he is correct about it. Unfortunately, ASC allows only 2 "helpful" and 1 "correct" marks per thread.

VMware View Session go Black screen for some seconds

Hi Guys,
Recently one of my client is facing issues that VDI Desktop session is going black screen for few seconds and automatically session comes back. I have increased PCoIP Configure the PCoIP session Bandwidth floor to 200. still facing same issue.
Note : All user facing this issue is in branches and we have 2 GBps pipeline Datacenter to Branches. Normally 40% is the network utilization.

Sorry, I was thinking the APEX 2800 cards were related to this, but that was a different ticket I was thinking of. So scratch that.
As far as this problem goes, I have seen this issue happen numerous times. It only happens with users with dual monitors. Here's a workaround: Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers > Scheme > Select a non Aero scheme
It took VMware quite a few months, but they finally generated a KB for it and closed my ticket: VMware KB: Zero client monitors will randomly go black for 1-2 seconds

My iPhoto library has suddenly disappeared from my computer. When i click on iPhoto it tells me to choose my library or create a new one. However no library option appears. I have searched the computer for the library but it does not seem to exist

My iPhoto library has suddenly disappeared from my computer.
When i click on iPhoto it tells me to choose my library or create a new one. However no library option appears. I have searched the computer for the library but it does not seem to exist anymore. I did not have time machine set up, so there is no back up. Is there any way i can retrieve my library?
Here is a picture of what appears when i click on iPhoto:

In terms of searching i have searched for photos on my finder. However, none of the photos that appear are from my iPhoto Library.
Search with FindAnyFile. You can download it here: http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.php
Search for any file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the name. If you added at least one image to your library, the library should contain a file with this name, see OldToad's post: Re: Since I updated to iPhoto 9.5.1, my library is not listed or available. How can I find it? Can I use the time machine to restore it?

Hi 22chill,
I recommend that we delete and re-download the movie from your purchase history:

The Acrobat updater keeps on asking me for a password, but it does not accept my Apple ID or my Adobe password. What password do you folks want?

I'm guessing it needs a password to update your system - that is, the administrator password. Most software needs this when you install it.
This is the password you (or someone) chose when you first switched on your computer.

Try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Have you tried delting the download and downloading it again?
What happens when you "run" the download?

TS3276 I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and Mail is having a problem. It won't remember my password for getting mail; but it does remember the password for sending mail, i.e., smtp. Does anyone know of a fix?

I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and Mail is having a problem. It won't remember my password for getting mail; but it does remember the password for sending mail, i.e., smtp. Does anyone know of a fix?

The solution surprised even me, and we've been using Macs since 1984 (still have an original 128K).
I contacted Apple support, and because we had just upgraded yesterday, clicked on the "exception" button as opposed to paying the $19.99 one-time support fee. An Apple tech called and the problem was solved in two minutes.
Somehow during the installation of OS 10.8.2 (over 10.6.x) the key chain data for my email ISP login password got corrupted. The solution was to delete both the POP mail and SMTP entries in my keychain.
Back to Mail, it asked for the POP password, I entered it and bingo, mail got busy downloading. Interestingly, the password was also entered into the SMTP panel.
So, that's it. Thanks for you response, Mr. Hoffman, and regards.

Is black screen for iPhone hardware or software problem

Is black screen for iPhone hardware or software problem.

Don't know until you troubleshoot. First step is a reset:
hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
