HT204382 why won't QuickTime player work?

I cannot download video's sent to me email through quicktime player

QuickTime does not natively support Windows Media format. So you need to get the plugin from Flip4Mac that does support WMV. Note that the free version only provides playback. If you want to import WMV files for editing or export in WMV, you'll need to purchase one of the paid versions of the Flip4Mac codecs. Another option for playback of some Windows Media content is VLC Media Player.
Regards.

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

Why won't Quicktime Player open a .mov VR file ?

(I'm on a new MBP, with Yosemite 10.10.2, QT Player v.10.4)
Nothing opens except the app when I double click on a .mov file, the playback controls don't even come up.
This does not happen on all .mov files, but several VR files which were outputted to Quicktime.

I think I figured it out:
The new osx QT (with Mavericks and Yosemiteseems to be the issue (see http://osxdaily.com/2014/07/20/run-quicktime-player-7-in-mac-os-x/)
I downloaded the older Quicktime Player 7 and the files work perfectly

Help why won't flash player work??

I got a Nokia lumia for Christmas, its saying flash player is installed but it won't work. It says it may be disabled or something about ActiveX, but i don't know how to sort it out, Anyone able to help please?

login with the admin account and uninstall
then login with your normal account and install the latest
flash player, it's the newest on the flash player 9 package.. Don't
forget to close all browser windows before installing.
To be on the safe side, uninstall the flash player using this
package
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
Be aware of this:
Note: Internet Explorer users may have to reboot to clear all
uninstalled Flash Player ActiveX control files. If you're not
certain, select the "Show Details" button in the Flash Player
uninstaller. If there are any log lines that begin with "Delete on
Reboot..." then you'll need to reboot BEFORE running the Flash
Player installer again.

Why won't flash player work with ios10.5.8?

I get a message saying "Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date". Then when I go to dl update, I get a "failure to launch" message.

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

Why won't DVD Player work with Mountain Lion?

I just tried to play a DVD on my Macbook Pro that worked just fine before I updated to Mountain Lion. Each time I try to play it, I get an error telling my that DVD Player has "unexpectedly quit." I've tried shutting down and restarting with no luck. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I want to love the Mountain Lion update, but this is really frustrating.

See this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19896549#19896549
also, I had the same problem. What fixed it for me (so far) was to launch DVD Player, then load the DVD in the drive. Using that procedure got it working, and it has been working since.

Hello Jesslb23,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more about troubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.
Best of luck,
Mario

HT201398 Why won't podcast app work on iPhone 5 after ios 8.1.3 update?

Why won't podcast app work on iPhone 5 after ios 8.1.3 update?
I've restarted the phone and itunes several times, have uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the phone and itunes separately, and it still just shows 'Installing" under the greyed out app.

I have the same problem with an iPhone 5s. All podcast fail to work on the phone since updating to iOS 8.1.3. What is going on? Is Apple taking this problem serious?

Why won't my camera work in Facebook video call?

Have a new MacBook Pro running Mavericks. When I tried to use the video call feature in Facebook, it told me I didn;t have the necessary java to execute the install. I downloaded the file suggested online (Java for OS X 2014-001: How to re-enable the Apple-provided Java SE 6 web plug-in and Web Start features) and the install went through. However, when I try to make a call it connects, I can see the other person's video and hear her/him but my camera does not activate (No green light. Person being called can hear me, but no picture appears for them). FaceTime works fine. Skype works fine. Google+ Hangout asks me to give permission to use camera, but hangs up. I also tried to make a FB video call in Safari and that did not work either (same problem).

Because something is wrong.
You've done well determining that there is nothing wrong with your Mac or its Apple Software.

The firmware was likely changed and it's not compatible anymore or the disk is bad.
I was able to boot using the Snow Leopard disc from both my new MBP and my girlfriends MB, but both said that OS X could not be installed on this computer, and I couldn't even use the disc utility to wipe the drive.
Those disks don't have the hardware drivers your machine needs.
Your going to need to get a Snow Leopard retail install disk from Amazon/elsewhere.
Do I need to have a serial number to reinstall OS X?
Thankfully No.
