Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey.
example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive) the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
but that is very occasionally, most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed , I don't know how that effects qt.
qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)
I have gone to VLC and MPlayerX for direct playback for drones and cameras.

Why does Firefox tell me that I don't have the latest version of Flash but Adobe tells me that I do?

Firefox keeps telling me that I have to upload a newer version of Adobe Flash. However, Adobe tells me that I have the latest version. Also, Google Chrome lets me see pages that Firefox will not load because it thinks I don't have the right version of Flash! Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

Which version of the Flash player do you have?

Why does screen freezes when I attempt to play certain songs in my library

Why does my screen Freeze when I attempt to play certain songs I have downloaded from CDs into my library?
I have just received my Nano and I'm unsure if I want this to keep happening

Apple removed my previous post because I referenced jailbreaking which is a violation of the TOS. Sorry about that!
That said, I can't think of any way to get around the file size limitation. I suppose itunes match isn't really meant to give you access to play all your songs anywhere. It instead gives you the opportunity to download your songs via wifi when you aren't at home. I can't see that it makes any difference one way or the other to Apple but it obvioiusly would make a difference to the wireless provider.
So now, my question is whether this happens on with all carriers. I have experienced this on AT&T. Does anyone here have Verizon or Sprint?

I can't activate iTunes Match. Why does it tell me that my computer can't be used for the next 85 days?

Since yesterday, my iTunes keeps telling me, I can't use this Computer with iTunes Match for another 85 days because an other AppleID has been entered.
That didn't happen tho!

Is it possible that you used a different Apple ID to purchase something from the iTunes Store that uses DRM (copy protection), which you are now trying to sync?
If so, when you get that prompt to enter Apple ID and password, you need to enter that other Apple ID and its password, not your current Apple ID.
You can check the item that fails to sync. Locate it on a list in iTunes. Right-click it and select Get Info. On the Info window Summary tab, if Kind is Protected AAC audio file, it has DRM. Also note what it says for Apple ID. That is the Apple ID you need to authorize.
NOTE: One computer can be authorized to play content purchased with more than one Apple ID.

Why does iTunes tell me that I have tons of memory available (30 GB) on my iPad (when I plug it in to my computer), but when I check my storage directly on the iPad (under Settings/General/Storage), I only have 3GB?

This is driving me nuts. I need to "rent" some flicks for a trip, but my iPad (64GB) tells me I have insufficient memory. Checking under Settings/General/Usage, I find 3GB free. I hook it up to my computer (iTunes) and clear out pretty much everything (audio, video, extra apps, etc) and iTunes then tells me I have 30GB available. Yes, I hit apply and the darn thing synches just fine. Disconnect and look back at the iPad, and viola - only 3GB available. ARRRRGGGHHHH!

Sounds like you should restore your iPad. For one thing, that will bring it up to current iOS rev (6.1.2). For another, that should clean out any junk and further make sure the two numbers you're referring to agree.
By the way, a viola is a musical instrument in the violin family. The word you're looking for is voila

HT3743 Why can't I purchase through iTunes why does it tell me to contact iTunes to complete purchase

Why does it tell me to contact iTunes to complete my purchase. Everything was fine last night, apple wants $20 to fix the problem can someone help me out. I've reset everything and it stills says the same thing.

You are more than likely not going to be able to get around this. Just go ahead and contact iTunes support via email.

Why does it tell me my ipad is synched with another itunes library and wants to erase the thing when I want to synch it? I haven't synched it with any other mac but my own.

Hi Lisa,
I know from experience that this must be a frustrating situation for you especially if you don't want to loose the music/video content that is currently on your ipod. Unfortunately though you may have to consider re-syncing it as it thinks its currently synced with another computer.
If you bought any music that is on the ipod through itunes you can opt to right click the ipod in itunes and 'transfer purchases' if you authorise your library in the 'Store' menu in itunes. Some reasons for this happening may include some of the following:
Deleting and reinstalling your itunes on the computer.
Removing the account you had on the computer you used itunes in and making a new one. (User account, eg: Lisa).
Changing computers in the past.
A friend or family member syncing it on their computer to give you there music.
A sign of a failing iPod.
Alternatively you can opt to not sync it and keep the music that is on your ipod there but this means you will never be able to update your ipod.
Hope this helps!

Why does quicktime run like crap?

Why does quicktime run like crap, skips frames like crazy? If I install xvid codecs instead and play the movies in windows media player they play without a glitch. Why is that? I'm must say I'm not impressed with the first apple software I've tried. Also another annoying thing... I don't want iTunes and all the other crap with it! Just quicktime. Also almost all the menu's are blocked with pro upgrade.... do apple customers have to buy quicktime pro as well?

Impossible to say, "allp", without knowing anything about your system, the version of QT you're running, nor the movies you're trying to play and from what medium you're playing them. QT movies work just fine on my Dell Dimension 8200 (specific specs on request).
You can download QuickTime alone, without iTunes, here.
And yes, the menus involved with editing and exporting will almost all be nonfunctional until you buy the Pro upgrade. And it's the same with Macs as with Windows; we all have to purchase the Pro upgrade to get that functionality.

Why does it tell me to go to support and I cant find my ipod on my computer or itunes?

Dude I totally have that same problem with mine. I've done all the trouble shooting I possibly can. It's so aggrivating because I can't put anything on it or take anything off of it. The charger cord does have kind of a little slit in in but I'm not sure if this is the problem. My suggestions are to contact apple themselves, at least that's what I'm doing.

I am trying to open some *.avi files in quicktime, they are from my security camera at home. It will not open them, would anyone be able to help me? It says I need a plugin but it does not tell me which one.

Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis.

Why does quicktime only export audio

Why does Quicktime only export audio when exporting .mov files? I used to do it all the time with this same version. Now it doesn't work. I see a lot of other posts asking the same question and no answers.

MOV files are audio and/or video content wrapped in an MOV file container. The first step in solving your problem would be to determine what codec components were used to create the source files and then determine if they are still supported by you current system configutation and/or conversion work flow.
