I keep getting this message when i try to play a movie on my imac "2010.DvdRip.Xvid {1337x}-Noir.avi” can’t be opened. I'm using QuickTime Player version 10.0(118)

Hold on... advice to someone downloading from 1337x !!!
Until I saw your comment and googled the term, I had no idea that this was a "downloaded" file. I assumed the "1337x" reference was to dimensions/resolution and Noir referred to genre. (I.e., I use similar notations the differentiate files compressed for TV playback comparisons.) In any case, the advice is the same irrespective of the source.
er, isn't it illegal to download movies ?
Not necessarily. Thousands of movies are probably downloaded daily as legal purchases from such vendors as iTunes. Thousands more are available for free in the public domain, open source/community videos listings, and under Creative Commons Licensing. In short, there are many legal sources of downloadable content and you should not automatically jump to the conclusion that everyone is a crook.

    I have no idea what this means.  Particularly the part about "Brian-Massmans-Computer-7."  I don't even know what computer that is. 
    I'm guessing it could have something to do with the fact that I've still got FCP 5 installed.  But it's not running.

  • HT5225 "This disc does not use the GUID Partition Table Scheme...". I keep getting this message when I try to install OSXLion. It has something to do with a repair Apple performed last year. I use a 17" MacBookPro. Any suggestions?

    "This disc does not use the GUID Partition Table Scheme. Use Disc Utility to change the partition scheme". I keep getting this message when I try to install OSX Lion so that I can upgrade my 17" MacBookPro to move to iCloud. My harddrive was replaced last year by Apple because of a fault by the manufacturer and I think this is the cause of the problem. What can I do so that I don't lose my content.

    When you click the partion tab. There is option on the bottom of the window. Click on that there there are these options.

  • I keep getting this message when I try to type a mail in yahoo- "Alert. Couldn't contact Spell Checker." It slows everything down and I get the beach ball

    Alert! Couldn’t contact Spell Checker. I keep getting this message when I try to type a mail in yahoo. I get the beach ball and it slows down everything.This has been happening since yesterday. Please help if anyone else has had similar problems or has ideas to fix this. Thanks.

    Chris,
    I am having Spell Check probs too - it underlines, but that's all. I Googled and tried 5 different places for an answer - even 'jumped the pond'....but got no answers.
    i started a thread, "Spell Checker on the fritz!!", and got one good and reasonable answer...
    only it didn't work. It involved a .plist file, and once you toss one and do a re-start, it's supposed to re-build itself. But, no, SpCk still 'on the fritz'. I'm going to do one more re-start, but otherwise....
    May the first one on either thread that gets an answer that works - PLEASE let us all know.
    Keep your fingers crossed and hold your mouth right - lol. Nikki B.

  • HT201263 Error: source not supported. Why do I get this message when I try to play a video?

    Error: source not supported. Why do I get this message when I try to play a video?

    Did you copy the songs directly from a CD or did you download the files from a website?
    You can use a different player than the Windows Media Player to play the songs if you copied them from a CD to avoid that.

  • I get this message when I try to Play iTunes album:

    I get this message when I try to Play iTunes album: Adobe Reader could not open 'Digital Booklet - Oh, What a Life.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    Do I need to set a different app to open the file? if so which one?
    Thanks for reading.
    Simon

    Hi ihrtthecowboys,
    When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, see the following article:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:
    Download past purchases

    Thanks,

  • Hi new to this i keep getting this message when i try and update my itunes to 12.1

    hi i keep getting a message when my itunes trying to update i had it for a while i dont what has caused it.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • HT2731 I have created an Apple ID and password but I keep getting this message when I try to buy something in the i tunes store: "Use another apple ID"

    I have created an Apple ID and password but keep getting the following message when I try to buy something through the itunes store "Enter another Apple ID"
    I had been buying things ealier with another Apple ID that I set up for my husband. The first time I ran into this I went ahead and set up another account for my self but am still getting the same message. What do I need to do?

    you need to review the account and verify it, including payment method. If there's no option that states 'none' next to the creditcard options, you'll need to use a creditcard for this.

  • Why do I get this message when I try to play a song "The license cannot be downloaded because your Web browser is not supported.

    I downloaded songs from a cd and when I try to play them with windows media player I get this message The license cannot be downloaded because your Web browser is not supported.
    To download a license, you must install Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or later.

  • Why do I keep getting this message when I try to go back to previous page? "object moved to here"

    This is so annoying. I use ancestry.com a lot and after I look at a census or a person on ancestry.com, I try to use the back arrow to go back to the page I started on and the screen goes white and it says "object moved to here." The "here" is a link, but it doesn't work to get me back to the page I want. I have to use the back arrow several times and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, then I have to start ancestry all over again. This is so annoying!

    This is likely an issue with the site and you'll have to contact them and ask them to fix it. But a link to a public page where this happens and lets us reproduce the problem might be helpful.
