Quicktime movie HD file I received won't play when I try to open and play it in Quicktime 10.3, it says this particular .mov is not a supported file type?
Large, 5min long Quicktime .mov HD file I received says it's converting when I try to open and play it in Quicktime 10.3 but then stops and tells me it's not a supported file type, a program I downloaded to try and convert the file type also told me the same thing.
Doesn't let me see a preview so I think the file is to blame.
I believe it's a faulty file as it says this particular .mov is not a supported file type but is there any way to be sure?
(Doesn't open in iTunes.)
After installing Adobe Flash Player 10.1.102.64 (http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.1.102. 64_and_9.0.289.0_archive.zip), download and install the hack so you can also view Flash 11 content.

However, TexasMacMan discovered a hack (http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip) that allows PowerPC to use a Flash Player "masquerading" as Flash Player 11. Facebook videos require Flash 11 and will not play at all with Flash 10. If you want to view Facebook videos you MUST use the hacked version!

You MUST install this hack in order to view videos on FaceBook, Hulu, etc!

I have an old mpg video file, taken with a very early model "smart phone", that opens and plays fine in my newly "rebuilt" iPhoto library. I cannot open, edit it or share it with any other software. How can I fix it, to be able to do anything with it?
Detail:
I've recently purchaced a 4TB Thunderbolt drive to store my "vast" music and photo libraries. iPhoto had an issue reading the moved library, so I bought and used iPhoto Library Manager to "rebuild" it. Apart from much of the original data such as date taken & camera used etc, it appears to be working well. The aforementioned mpg video was taken some 9 years ago, using an early model "iMate" smart phone, and opens and plays fine on iPhoto, but I cannot open it with anything else, (I've tried iMovie, VLC players, Wondershare and Handbrake) nor can I share it. I just want to edit it, and share it with family.
Any help would be appreciated...No - not iMovie, VLC, Wondershare or Handbrake... Quick time starts with a "CONVERTING", then I get
I've looked at the "tell me more" links, tried downloading some of the movie players there. I'm begining to think the file is corrupt.

Just downloaded Lion and now iMovie won't respond when I try to open it. Even tried deleting the program (since it was an older version) and bought it new from the app store, but still won't respond.
Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

We can play a .mov file (a full-length film created in final cut pro) but cannot actually open it in QuickTime. We get the error message saying that a file is missing, and the movie can't play properly without the file. The thing is, we can play the film, we just can't open it to move it to another drive. Help?
Also, can the lost file (which was deleted) be recovered from a Mac HD or an external hard drive?

Sounds like you created a "Reference" file here. I.e., a "Reference" file is a file that tells the player how to play the data contained in a "Resource" file. When you try to open the "Reference" file in the QT Player app, the first thing the player does is check to see if the "Resource" data file is is still available where it is supposed to be. (I.e., moving/deleting the resource file or moving reference file without moving the resource file to maintain the relative path between the two will generate the error message you mentioned.)
Also, can the lost file (which was deleted) be recovered from a Mac HD or an external hard drive?
That depends. Deleting a file does not actually erase the data immediately. Instead, the operating system just tells the system directory that the space containing the movie data is available for reuse if/when needed. As time passes, the chance that some of the data sectors will be re-written by other data continuously increases. To restore the file normally requires use of a special utility that both locates and restores all of the linked sectors containing the "deleted" movie data in their correct order. Other methods of restoring files would depend on the software you routinely have active on your system. For instance, do you use "TimeMachine?" or orther software that automatically backs up your data periodically? If so, then follow the instructions for your particular application to recover a deleted file. -

Hi pgarard1,
If you are having issues with launching iTunes after an update, you may want to take a look at the troubleshooting in the following article:

Hello, I recently bought a MacBook Pro and every time I insert my USB, it appears on the desktop. However, when I double-click it to open the files, the files appear in "an unrecognized format". They all end with this: ".lnk"...if it's a video file it ends with .lnk, if it's a picture file it ends with .lnk, if it's ANY document it ends with .lnk. I'm getting tired of this situation and I've only had this laptop for a week. Please, open my eyes and show me that the sacrifice I made to buy it was worth it. I wanted a Mac so bad, and now this is making me hate them and prefer PCs. What do I do??? How can I change that and make this laptop read these files??? Please help. I need to copy some video files from my USB to my Mac as soon as possible.
An lnk file in Windows is a shortcut that points to the actual file. Rather than copy the actual files, you made a shortcut to them on your USB drive. Try going to the Windows machine and selecting the files then choosing Copy, change to your USB drive and choose Paste.
If you were to open a Finder window and right click one of those files then choose Get Info, you'll probably find that it's way to small to contain the movie or whatever. -
I called Apple support and was told it was because my library was created in 10.3 and won't open in 10.5. It was created before that, but why is it not working now?
Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

I am trying to move my itunes library from my macbook air to a new windows 8 computer. I changed the location for the media file, then tried to organize and consolidate the itune library files. I got a message that I do not have the priviledge to change the files. How do I resolve that?

please comment with any suggestions... thanks jeannette
to clarify, I have read the suggested "fixes" and I suspect this has to do with updated version, should I just try and try to download older version. I have talked to librarian (I used pub med and google scholar regularly for my academic med job) and she felt it was not a digital media licensure upgrade issue. If I erase adobe altogether the file reads as a simple pdf. Please help as I like adobe's feature and would like to continue to use it, thanks! jeannette

Compaq laptop with Windows 7 installed. My desktop PC uses Windows Vista SP2. I have the IMDB search engine add-on installed on my desktop, and it works perfectly. When I attempt to install the add-on to my laptop, I get an error stating that "this add-on isn't supported by Firefox and can't be installed". I'm interested in the second one on the page, IMDB by clouserw.

I keep receiving an error message when I try to send an adobe document through Outlook email.
I keep receiving an error message when I try to send an adobe document through Outlook email.
The message is : Either there is not default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the message request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.
I have checked everywhere on my system and changed Microsoft Outlook as the default mail program but nothing is helping. Does anyone have any ideas?I am having the same issue, just replied to a different post on the issue. I am running Acrobat X Pro with Win 7 Pro 64-bit. This is a new PC, but my last PC was a 32-bit OS and I didn't have this issue. I was suspecting that it is due to the 64-bit OS.
Reading this post though, I am starting to wonder if there isn't something else going on. When I go to Edit>Preferences, I don't have anything related to email under Categories, or even within any of the categories listed. I am I missing a plug in or something? Or is this a component of a previous version of Acrobat?
I tried to attach a screenshot of the error message but getting a new error while trying to attach! File is only 25kb! Will have to live without i guess. -

when i try to open up a projekt in logic pro x it say audio files not found why is this heppends?
This error typically means the audio files you used in this project are no longer found in their original location.. (did you move or delete them?) or you have renamed the audio files..... or they were located on an external HD etcand that drive or disk is no longer available.... because its not plugged in.
