An mov file which play fine in quicktime on my mac mini will not play in quicktime on a windows 7 unit. Error 2048, quicktime does not understand this file. Any ideas as to why it works in mac version of quicktime and not windows version?

The .mov file sis downloaded from my Sony camera. It is not altered and plays fine on the Mac mini using QuickTime. It will not play on a Windows 7 unit using the latest version of Quicktime. Why would that be? Why will one version of QuickTime work and another not work?

Also make sure the file type is not of a DivX. That your camera supports. Which QT for Mac also supports, but the Windows version of QT does not support DivX, so you're not purchasing something for the Windows computer that is not needed?

  • I want to install Snow Leopard Server on our MacPro (2.66) using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server disks?  I kept getting an error for backwards compatibility.   Is this possible or do I need to purchase another copy of Snow Leopard Server?

    I want to install Snow Leopard Server on our MacPro(2.66) using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server disks?  I kept getting an error for backwards compatibility.   Is this possible or do I need topurchase another copy of Snow Leopard Server?

    The OS disks that are shipped with a particular product
    are set up so that tey will only install on that product.
    It will install on any Mini of that exact vintage, but that
    is all.
    This is to prevent people from doing exactly what you
    are trying to do.  The license for OSX shipped with any
    is only valid for that product.  Also, Snow Leopard,
    including Server, is only permitted to be run on one
    computer at a time.  Bottom line, unlike Lion, legally
    you cannot install the same copy on multiple
    computers unless some "family pack" or site license
    is purchased.
    Yes, you need to purchase another copy.
    The copy of Snow Leopard license is here:

  • Mac mini will mot play cd or dvd

    My mac mini will not play any cd or dvd. I installed a program from downloads.com called "BURN" and after a few weeks now my dvd player will not let me use any cd or dvd. It just makes a loading sound and then ejects the disc.

  • SPSS is throwing up error 1327 after I installed Acrobat Pro. Any idea as to why + fix?

    I recently installed Acrobat X for one of my users and he is now having an error with his SPSS software. Nothing else was done to his machine, so I beleive this has something to do with Acrobat or some of the other Adobe products I threw on there. This has never happened before and I have done countless installs.
    Thank you for your time.

    Nevermind. Reinstalling the latest versions of the software fixed this issue. It looks like some files were overwriten and SPSS kept trying to reinstall intself.

  • I am going to buy a mac mini i7 with 3 thunderbolt displays for forex trading. the question is if i use bootcamp and run windows on the mac mini will the displays still run the same way as if i was running it on Lion?

    No idea if Windows will do it, but you can run Windows without Bootcamp & have OSX available at the same time, which should give you all the Monitors that OSX uses.

  • I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
    According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
    DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
    As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
    I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

  • Is it normal that a Mac Mini 1.6duo play back of HD 60 frame home video is shuddery / jerky ? is this just processor limits ?

    Is it normal that a Mac Mini 1.6duo play back of HD 60 frame home video is shuddery / jerky ? is this just processor limits ?
    I have a pansonic 14meg camera which shoots HD 1060 30 frame and 720 60 frame .
    I have been using the 720 6 frame .  Playback using on my camera is perfect , but when I download on to my Intel 1.6duo macmini play back is jerky ... is this just processor limitation or if Mini should be fine to play back (using Quicktime7) could it be file corruption / camera issue.
    I think it is just my old computer probably starting to struggle !
    Many thanks

    Couple of things:
    There is virtually no standardisation of video formats. The file suffix is if little use to use as, in the case of video, files are just containers for data streams encoded and decoded by Codecs. Pretty much every manufacturer has their own codecs for each and every camera. Put it this way: every Jpeg still is pretty much the same, as there is an agreed standard for that format. There is no such guarantee with avi, mov etc. That's why the model and format of the camera is important.
    This model was released in 2012, and you're trying to read data from this using a QuickTime 7, which predates that by a few years. Oddly, Snow Leopard came with QuickTime X, so I'm not sure what you've done there.
    iPhoto does not guarantee to import all video from all cameras. What cameras it does support are usually still cameras with a video add on. What you have is a camcorder and the correct app for importing and manipulating video from such a device is iMovie rather than iPhoto. It may be able to transcode it.

  • How can I set the opening home page of FIrefox to display the current bookmarks. This used to work with bookmarks.html but I understand this file is no longer current.

    I wish to display my current bookmarks as my opening home page in Firefox. I do not wish to use the Bookmarks sidebar instead. It used to work to open with bookmarks.html, which was and still is stored in my Firefox profile. However, I understand this file is no longer kept current but is only retained for legacy/compatibility reasons, and that the current bookmarks info is now stored in places.sqlite, etc. Is there a way with the new versions of Firefox to display as a full opening webpage the assuredly current bookmarks? Thank you

    Hi Jaime,
    Are you saying, you are getting junk characters in the email attachment? Then pls check the following. Since you want to send Japanese fonts, please pass language 'J' in both  objpack-obj_langu = '3' & doc_chng-obj_langu  = '3' instead of '3' please replace it with 'J'.
    Another thing which you may have to check is the SCOT device type. As I understand from my basis colleague, this may also affect your attachment fonts since the emails are sent through SCOT. Go to transaction SCOT-> Settings-> Device types for format conversion. Check whether wrong device type is defined for Japanese there. Hope this helps
    Regards,
    Gokul

  • Everytime I export from FCP using comressor I am lose my audio, any ideas as to why this is happening. Or do I have somthing turned off and I am just missing it? Dual 2.7 Ghz PowerPC G5 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    Exporting via Compressor may be recommended but it is slow and doesn't fully support all available filters, etc.
    Try exporting the timeline as a QT Movie (the "normal" export) using Current Settings and them submit the resultant clip to Compression. Works for me...

  • Mac Mini will not boot OS, can I get to files with another Mac?

    My mac mini will not boot the OS proserly, it goes to a screen that tells me that some root folder can not be found.
    The install CD works and I can boot to it. The disk utility reports no problems, all disk repairs done and OK.
    The computer still will not boot to the OS.
    How can I get the files I need off the drive before I reinstall the OS?
    I have other Macs and fire wire cables, cross over cables, regular eithernet cables. What can I do?
    Thanks!

  • When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

    When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

    Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
    Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out.  This is ridiculous.
    I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

    Because you have a problem - since we only know wha tie tell us that is all we can say with no details
    What version of iPhoto? Post the first 50 lines or so of the crash report.
    What has recently changed? What exactly happens when IPhoto crashes?

  • Hi I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't open or work? Any ideas as to why? thanks.

    Hi, I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't work, even the free ones. Have tried deleting and reinstalling but it asks for credit card details even for the free apps. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks

    If it is asking for account details then it might just need you to confirm your account before it lets you proceed. Maybe the terms and conditions changed since last time or something like that. Try signing into your Apple account in iTunes on a computer first to check that. Then restart the phone and try again.

  • Hello, mac mini will not boot. I get a file symbol with a question mark, then a white screen, Hello, mac mini will not boot. I get a file symbol with a question mark, then a white screen

    Hello, My mac mini will not boot. When I turn it on, I get the chime, then the white screen, then the apple symbol, then a file symbol with a question mark, then the white screen and then it stays like that.
    Is this a bad hard drive?

    Sounds like it.  Try booting from your OSX restore DVDs - startup and hold down "C".  This will take AGES! Then run Disk Utility from the menu. 
    The flashing ? means your system is corrupt, dead, not there, on a dying HD, etc...
