Additional Software

Most irritating that I have to disable the possibility to download/install Chrome or other program when I only want to install Flash Player. If this continues I stop with downloading Flash Player and even will minimize the use of Adobe programs.
Jan van Veen

When asked to download an Adobe Flash Player update today, I did so and started the application.
I saw that it was also downloading McAffe security software - without my approval. I was never asked to install additional software and I aborted the installation process.
This is absolutely abusive behavior and I will not tolerate this kind of behavior from any company, no matter how widespread their product may be.
I will also be contacting McAffe to let them know that I have a much lower opinion of their company than before for being complicit in this behavior.
It is amoral and should be criminal behavior to sneak additional software onto someone's computer like this. Shame on you, Adobe. This is worse than having opt-in boxes for additinal products already checked.
I am disgusted and Adobe should be ashamed - but I'm sure that it is not.

    I have gotten about 4 emails (Frontier) with quick time attatchments, but it won't play them.  I just get a mesage saying it can't read it in the current format.  Do I need to download additional software and if so what?

    You might try adding Perian.  It can help QT play a with a wide variety of formats.

  • I would like to share my ipad on my Windows machine. I got the Ipad to HDMI adaptor but nothing is displayed on the screen... Do I need any additional softwares?

    I would like to share my ipad on my Windows machine. I got the Ipad to HDMI adaptor but nothing is displayed on the screen... Do I need any additional softwares?
    Actually I would like to have the Ipad connected to pc and then run an application on the ipad (which is shown on my windows machine) and record it on the windows machine... Is this feasible?

    If you have an HDMI connection on your computer, it is most likely an output, it won't recieve a signal unless it's on a video capture card. Recording to the PC could be a difficlut task. HDMI is encrypted to keep you from copying but there are ways to do it. It would also depend on what content you intended on recording. If it's movies you have purchased or rented, it would be illegal.

  • What additional software requirements are needed when using Captivate with RoboHelp?

    Hello,
    I use RoboHelp HTML 6 & 8 for developing online manuals for our government business.  We are currently exploring eLearning options for our training needs, and I am considering the idea of implementing Captivate features (PP slides, simulations, animations) directly into the manuals. We would not need the collaborative/review aspects of Captivate, so I believe we wouldn't need to purchase Adobe Air additionally. However, would anyone be willing to give me the lowdown on what additional software either I would need as a developer, or end-users would need (Adobe Flash, I assume) if we decided on Captivate? Would we need addtional software (Connect Pro/ LMS) to publish the Captivate content?
    I have conducted an extensive online search and explored the forum threads with some success, but there is a lot of convoluted information out there!
    Thanks in advance for your help!!

    Hi there
    Speaking as one who regularly combines Captivate and RoboHelp...
    Unless you really want some functionality that Captivate alone simply does not provide, you really shouldn't need any additional software whatsoever. You record the eLearning bits in Captivate, then you use that content in your RoboHelp projects.
    Are you seeking to host things in a Learning Management System (LMS)? If so, you probably should abandon the thought of RoboHelp, as it serves a bit of the functionality the LMS would provide.
    Note that AIR is a functionality similar to the Flash Player or the PDF Reader. It is free for the taking by the end user. There is nothing one would need to purchase. Now if you want to *AUTHOR* something in AIR, that's a different story. RoboHelp HTML version 8 will produce an AIRHelp output. But it sounds to me that you may be somewhat unfamiliar with what AIR gives you. So here's the skinny.
    If you were to produce AIRHelp output from RoboHelp, you end up with a .AIR file that each of your end users must *INSTALL* just as they would have to install an application. That's just to view the help. Prior to installing your AIR output, they would also need to first *INSTALL* the AIR viewer. So if they had no AIR capability whatsoever, they would need to perform two different installs. One of the AIR runtime, and a second of your AIR output. Additionally, creating the AIR output will also require a digital certificate. Now RoboHelp will allow you to create one, but it's an untrusted certificate and the end user will be forced to acknowledge whether they wish to continue installing with an untrusted certificate.
    Anyhoo, hopefully that helps you with at least some of what you were looking for.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Problem downloading additional softwares

    Hi everybody,
    When I try to download SAP Add-in for Crystal Reports 2011 the following message appears:
    Same problem with any other additional software or user.
    Does anyone know why?
    Thanks!

    Dear Castillo,
    SAP is aware of this issue and will be fixed soon.
    In the meanwhile, you can specify which add-in you are looking for and raise a support ticket (Incidents); they would share the link of the installer.

  • "Additional software is required for Quick Time to playback this media"

    I am trying to view the footage shot in DVCproHD. I can hear people talking, but all I can see is a black screen.
    When I try to open a clip, I get the message "additional software is required for QuickTime to playback this media. It may be available from the QuickTime Components page."
    When I click on "continue," it takes me to a page with 11 different components listed, but no hint as to which component will help me view the .mov files.
    Any idea what additional software I need to view these Hi Def files?

    A friend of mine let me know that for $80 I could get 'Calibrated{Q} XD Decode'. That software requires Mac intel -- but I have access to such a machine in my office so I am good to go. Thanks to everyone who tried to help me.

  • If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this.

    If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this. Thank you.

    The DVD recorder I'm referring to is one I've use for years. It is not attached to my aging iMac in any way. I simply play the video from my camcorder (mini-dv tape based Canon HV20)  into the DVD recorder and create a DVD that can be played in any DVD player. I can only do minimum editing so what goes in is what I get. This has been fine for creating dupes of the various things I shoot.
    If I buy a new iMac (21 inch), I'd like to be able to download the video to the iMac through iMovie, work with it to whatever degree I wish, and burn it to a DVD that can also be played in any DVD player -- or to use as a master to dupe copies.
    What I'm understanding from you and others is that this would be possible if Apple had included iDVD in the software that comes with the iMac, or if I purchase the iLife Family Pack, or buy the correct version of Toast. I'm hoping I can persuade Apple to sell me an iMac with iDVD installed.
    Essentially I want to move from a basic process of creating DVD copies to the more sophisticated process of creating one from an iMac.
    Thank you again for your help and wisdom.

  • HT3775 I have a .avi file that is not playing. It keeps telling me additional software is needed. I have Mac OS X 10.6.8. Can anyone explain why?

    I have a .avi file that is not playing. It keeps telling me additional software is needed. I have Mac OS X 10.6.8. Can anyone explain why?

    Because there's no codec installed on your system for that specific AVI, and there may be no Mac OS X component for it. Try installing Perian.

    If the videos are .wmv files, VLC from VideoLAN will play them and pretty much any other media format.

  • Additional software is required...

    I am trying to play a .mov movie I had on a mac mini on my macbook. I have Qt 7.2 on both machines. The movie plays fine on the mac mini but I get a "additional software is required..." message when I try to play it on the Macbook. Do I need to download one of the QT plugins from the apple website?
    Thank you for your help

    Ensure that you have two and for now only two installed (by you that is, not Apple) codecs - Flip4mac ( the free one) and Perian V1.0 (free) and that generally solves 95% of the issues like this. Expunge DivX, XVid, 3ivX , Casio etc., once you have Perian.

  • "Additional software is required for quicktime to playback this media."

    I am trying to open a .mov file with QuickTime, but every time I try, I get the message that additional software is needed to play it.  A pop-up window then directs me to a page where I can download a handful of different components.  I have no idea which one, if any, would help me to play the movie.
    I can press the "play" button, but I only see a black screen, and there is no audio.
    I am not very tech savvy at all, so I'm not sure what informatin would be necessary to help answer this question, so I'm just going to copy down some of the video's properties:
    VIDEO
    -Length: 00:14:19
    -Data rate: 2031kbps
    -Total bitrate: 2192 kbps
    AUDIO
    -Bit rate: 160 kbps
    Item Type: Quick Time Movie
    Size: 224 MB
    Also, I am running Windows 7.
    Thank you so much--if you can help me out I would really appreciate it!

    Sorry.
    I don't know what else to try.
    It's a complicated world with Windows and Apple and media formats. Microsoft ended support for the Mac OS and their proprietary Windows formats when they switched from the AVI container to the WMP container formats.
    Apple (QuickTime) hasn't "changed the rules" and offers both Mac and Windows users a version of their product. Backward compatibility (older formats) still works in most cases.
    But your file is really WMP (based on the codecs). It may only work on a Mac that also has a software "bridge" know as Flip4Mac.
