After converting to .mp4, I can't get videos to play.....

I recently downloaded videos, and uploaded some off of DVDs, in both .avi and .mp4 formats. After loading them to iTunes, I was able to get them into my iPod, but now I can't view them on the computer. When I open them in Quicktime, through iTunes, I just get audio and static, yet they still run fine on my iPod. If anyone has any ideas whats wrong, I would be very appreciative. Thank you.

If you drag an Excel file onto the Numbers icon, it doesn't open in Numbers?
The error message you're seeing is because your iMac's been upgraded to the Lion OS, and the Lion OS doesn't support PPC applications.
You've got a couple of choices:
1. You can spend the $100 or so to upgrade to Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, which, by the way, includes a free update to the next version of Office for Mac.
2. You can convert all of the Excel files to Numbers. Be aware, though, that there may be some formatting changes made during the conversion.
I'm not at my Mac right now, but there is a way to associate files with a given application. It involves right-clicking the file, choosing Get Info, then changing something in the resulting window. Unfortunately, I can't provide the exact wording just now.
I hope this helps.

I can't get videos to play on safari on my IPad without adobe flash player

I can't get my iPad to play videos on safari without using adobe flash player?

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

I can't get video to play at all on MAC!

I just recently purchased and downloaded Premiere Elements 12 for a class. My project deadline is fast approaching and I can't get any videos to play with either the toggle bar (space bar) or by using the VCR like buttons. I am using the "Classroom in a Book" tutorials AND trying to start a new project with my videos and this issue is occuring in both. I am able to select the video and place it on the timeline and pull the cursor left and right with NO SOUND.... I can also do this in the preview mode...BUT IT WILL NOT PLAY ON ITS OWN..... please advise.... I have a brand new MAC that we purchased in November, therefore I have all the updates.
Thank you in advance for your time with this request.

Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements Mac?
Administrative Privileges are required for both Premiere Elements and QuickTime. Are you Mac computer permissions set appropriately for this?
What are the properties of this video...
video compression
audio compression
frame size
frame rate
interlaced or progressive
file extension
pixel aspect ratio
Is the problem only with this one particular video source or is the problem for all video and still imports?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

How can i get video to play on monitors that use amplified splitterss?

I am having no luck trying to get video on to monitors using splitters from the main video system. the video on the main system works fine. can anyone help me with this?

It would seem that you accidentally unchecked all your songs. Go to the Songs view and CTRL+click on any empty checkbox. If you don't see the checkboxes press CTRL+A and then right-click for options or visit the preferences dialog box to enable them.

Can't get videos to play in iPod.

I used Quicktime Pro 7 to convert videos of other formats to the mpeg-4 (.mp4) and the ipod .m4u format, both of which should work as they are the formats supported. However, I get a blank white screen when I try to play the videos on the ipod, although the sound comes through-- not the video.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try this. Go to video-->video settings-->TV Out-->Off
Does that help?

How can I get videos to play in playlists on my ipod touch ios6?

I have an iPod Touch that used to have ios5.1 in it but I upgraded it to ios6.
Since upgrading, the ability to play vidoes in Playlists in iTunes, seems to have disappeared!
I still have one iPod Touch with ios5.1 and it still works fine this way but the one with ios6 will not show the videos in the Playlist I created.
Anyone know how to get this fucntion back?
I've heard you can't go back to an older ios once you upgrade.....then I heard you can but it's difficult.
Thanks!

Unless your iDevice had been jailbroken, it does not have a virus. Please describe why you feel it does.

Can't get videos to play from offline

Hey,
Every time I try to play Camtasia videos that I've downloaded
to my files, I get a message saying I need to enable JavaScript (it
is) and download the latest version of FlashPlayer (I have, roughly
a thousand times). I'm on XP, my browser is Firefox, and the videos
play fine if I play them from the person's website. Can anyone tell
me what's going on and how to fix it?
Thanks--Kaylee
PS-I'm also asking about this at the Camtasia forum; figured
I might as well cover all the bases

Hello to you both and Welcome to Apple Discussions!
As you may or may not know there are some sites out there that choose to not consider Macs when they design their sites. This does lead to some problems for us Mac users from time to time...
What you both need to have is the latest Safari, Quicktime, and Flip4Mac installed. And Dan if you like you can use WinMedia because your machine is not Intel. On SI I am able to play videos...actually it's just CNN so it "should" work for you? But I'm not running Panther. Usually on CNN and on SI it was the same it told me I need to update but I declined and continued using Flip4Mac plugin and it was fine. CNN videos are not Quicktime compatible so that won't help you in this case. With NBA.com it seems their player is proprietary and I was not able to play it on Safari. However on Firefox/Camino it was ok. This might be a case you need to use another browser as I'm not sure of any specific fix for this? But the SI is strange...do you have the box for using Flip4Mac plugin checked in your System Prefs?
As for BBC you probably need Flip4Mac...do you have it installed? Quicktime will play everything compatible but it will not play Windows Media format. For that you will need Flip4Mac...
Let me know if this helps at all?

Can anyone get videos to play on this site?

http://www.cracked.com/
I could before I upgraded to Snow Leopard (which was April 21st).
My flashplayer is up to date.
Anyone?
I appreciate any help you can give me.

HI,
No problem here streaming video on that site. If you have Safari set to run in 64 bit mode, Flash prefers 32 bit mode. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html
Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
Also, from the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Empty Cache. Relaunch Safari.

Can't get video to play in multiple browsers with website designed in DW 5.5

Help!

#1 most servers are cAsE sEnSiTiVe. For best results on the web, use all lower case file and folder names.
#2 rename your folder/file names without any spaces. White spaces in folder and file names throws validation errors in HTML5 docs.
Where you have this
the failures Web Episodes/
Change it to
the-failures-web-episodes/
or
the_failures_web_episodes/
Or better yet, just shorten it to web_episodes/
#3 what app did you use to convert your 3 video files? You may be missing required codecs.
#4 is your server configured to support the new MIME file types?

I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

For some apps it seems impossible to determine the price before, or even after, installing them. How can I get round this?

For some apps it seems impossible to determine the price before, or even after, installing them. How can I get round this?

Can you be clearer about what you're seeing? The price should be clearly stated up front... Is that not the case? Note that there may be additional taxes that will increase the final price, and that can't be included in that up-front listed price, since taxes are different everywhere.

After I run a query can I get it to return the number of files matched and each individual file name?

Hi bbanacki,
Please have a look at the following code:
Define your queries and then:
oAdvancedQuery.ReturnType=eSearchFile
oMyDataFinder.Results.MaxCount = iMaxNumberOfReturndElements
Call oMyDataFinder.Search(oAdvancedQuery)
Set oMyResults = oMyDataFinder.Results
If oMyResults.IsIncomplete Then
msgbox "The first " & str(oMyResults.Count) & " files found"
Else
msgbox str(oMyResults.Count) & " files found"
End If
for iLoop = 1 to oMyResults.Count
Cell.Text = oMyResults(iLoop).Properties("Name").Value
Cell.Text = oMyResults(iLoop).Properties("fullpath").Value
next

Try starting up in Safe Mode and see if things are better.
