AVI files corrupted(blocking pic & dropped audio). Any fix available?

I just transfered a lot of AVI files to my external to save some space. They were all perfect before. Now, if I play them from the external HDD or on my internal HDD, they are all corrupt. Every one of them. The picture is all blocky and the audio keeps dropping. I have transfered them to a Windows machine, and they are still corrupt. BTW, I am using the most recent VLC.
Is there any way to restore these files? How do I avoid this in the future? I really don't understand how they became corrupt.

Turns out, the FW800 firmware in my enclosure needed to be updated. Fixed!

Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

IPad sync error 1140. Any fixes available?

My iPad will not sync. I get error 1140. Current iPad software version 6.1.3 Current iPhoto version 9.4.3. iPad syncs when Photos are not included. Any fixes available?

Do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!.......
And try Again!

.avi files and subtitle drag&drop

Is there any video player that can play .avi files and also support drag&drop subtitles? I tried Perian with Quick time and now it plays .avi files perfectly. However still can't drag the subtitles to Quicktime screen. Also I tried Miro and VLC Player. They both lack of 'drag&drop subtitle' function.
I'm new to mac, only 3 days. Maybe there is a trick to do that drag&drop thing. Any help?

use Mplayer from appstore and its free..:)

Premiere Elements 7 won't recognise a .avi file, and only reads the audio of the file. Help?

Hello, so here is my predicament:
I own Premiere Elements 7, licenesed and all. Totally legit.
It is reading .mp4 files, at least, that's the only other video file type I've used. It is reading the video of that file.
But for some reason, when I drag a .avi file into the software, it reads the file type as 'audio' when it is obviously a video file! It doesn't recognise the video of the file at all.
When I drag it into the timeline, it only shows the audio! Video section is empty.
Why is this happening?
Screenshots of the problem attached!!

What is the source of this AVI file? Is it from a miniDV camcorder, captured over a FireWire connection?
AVIs from non-camcorder sources can use any of thousands of codecs, most of which are not compatible with Premiere Elements. Open the file in a program like G Spot and post the specs for audio and video codecs, frame rate, dimensions, etc., and we may be able to suggest a file converter.

Avi file from PC user has audio but not video

When I play a .AVI file from a PC user through Quicktime pro, I am getting no video, but can hear the file fine.
Any ideas what may be wrong?
Playing it on a PC gives full video & audio
Cheers
Justin

Using VLC is about as simple as it gets and if that will not play the avi they are encoded in a very rare codec. One last thing you can do is open the avi in QT Player and open MovieInfo in the Window menu. If it says they are encoded with an Indeo codec then there is no way to play them in OS X. There are Indeo codecs for the Classic environment but none for OS X. Indeo codecs for Classic

Avi files in quicklook have no audio

Most of the videos on my computer are mp4 or m4v files, but I have a few which are avi. They play fine in VLC, but not in quicktime or quicklook. The video is fine, but there's no audio.
How do I fix this?
Also is it related to the fact that avi files often come up as an icon in quicklook when my folder is viewed as columns, but plays (the video without audio) when it's in cover flow? This doesn't happen everytime, but often...

you probably are missing necessary plugins to play those avis in Quicktime player. try installing Flip4mac

Airpor Express drops Audio (possible fix)

I research a handful of forums trying to figure out why my Itunes 7.01 and express station were dropping my audio stream.
It would drop every couple seconds.
I came to find out that my fix was as simple as connecting my airport antenna on back of my machine.
I know this may not fix everyone's problem but its worth a look. Good luck guys. I know many of us are experiencing problems with the express station dropping the signal.

Having the same exact problem except my macbook stays connected with no drops. My toshiba laptop drops after a few minutes. the toshiba also has an Atheros wi-fi card. we tried connecting the Toshiba laptop to another AEX router and it did the same thing. AEX is conflicting either with windows vista or ths particular wi-fi card.

Facebook sharing and "click to post" not working on Mountain Lion 10.8.3. Any fix available?

Hi all.
Just got a 2nd hand MBP 13" (first Mac) and had latest OS installed (10.8.3).
I used the "click to post" button for Facebook once and it worked... But after that it never worked again (sounds so sad).
I've deleted my account and re-entered it, but that doesn't work.
Twitter shares fine, but in the Notification panel, if I click the Facebook button, then the Twitter button stops working as well.
I think it's something to do with Facebook and the OS (10.8.3) but I don't believe it's a universal problem. A friend's MBP worked fine.
I can share onto Twitter through other means (eg photobooth, Preview), but Facebook doesn't work anywhere.
Any help? Or should I wait for some kind of patch update?
Thanks.

If you look at the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads. It appears you are not the only two having this problem.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Any fixes available yet to the 4.3 "upgrade" ??

Like apparently thousands of others, I have had problems with my wifi connection after the 4.3 update. I tried switching off the auto network switch in the advanced settings (that seemed to work for awhile), I tried safe mode with no improvement. The phone keeps scanning for a connection, and when I select my home network (the wireless router is 2 ft, away), it says "Authentication error occurred" I haven't seen anyone with this message yet. I have triple checked the network key, and my wife's I phone (4) on Sprint has no trouble connecting. Same with her Sony Vaio laptop, and with my old Dell laptop. Never had any problems before connecting with my S4. While the S4 is more powerful and has some unique features (most of which I have disabled, because they are unnecessary and somewhat creepy), it seems that I had a much better overall experience with my old HTC Evo on Sprint.
I have tried to scroll to the latest comments, but have not been able to see if there is finally a fix for this.

You need to start with looking elsewhere, the phone might not be the problem. Make sure your router's software drivers are up to date. even if all your other electronics hook up to wifi the S4 is the latest hardware and some settings in your router might not be compatable. Change some router settings, like channel number. I like to use channel 11, and broadcast frequency, I use the 2 Ghz band. Stay away from auto modes if they are offered. Reset up your wifi, delete all old passwords and start fresh. Set the phone up to the router first, then the rest of the electronics. I did all this stuff and the phone works great with the 4 year old Belkin router. I even have auto network switch setting on the S4 turned on and the phone switches between data and wifi as needed. I am using 4.3 upgrade for three weeks and have not had any issues.
Good luck

Installed Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6. A lot of my photos are much too dark now and the colour is not right. Any fix available? I did a backup prior to the new installs.

Installed Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6. A lot of my photos are now too dark and the colour is way off from the originals. Any suggestions to correct this mess. I did a backup prior to installing Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6.

Check the monitor settings in the System/Displays/Color preference pane. You may have to change the color profile used or calibrate the monitor.
Also check the System/Accessibility preference pane to see if the Increase contrast checkbox is checked. If it is check it and see if there's any improvement.
