  • How can i get quicktime to work on my windows vista

    everytime i download the latest update of quicktime, it says it cannot find the "active x control" can someone explain to me what that is, and how can i get quicktime working so i can have my iTunes running again

      I was just on a windows computer with some horsepower power. I can't get it, the video would play fine, but no audio. Perhaps Jon could take a look? I can't pick up anything on it, other than it's a .mov
    I no longer have home access to a Windows machine or Mac running Windows OS. As I am not an HTML programmer, I did not check the page coding but had no problem playing any of the video content on the linked page using the Safari browser. Spot checked the source files and found them to be typical MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) files with a frame rate of 30 fps using CABAC entropy Main Profile Level 3.0 (SD) and Level 3.1 (HD) encodings in MOV file containers. As to audio, only one file—Video+(1).MOV (the "Raven, Salma and Kenneth" Claymation Practice file)—contained an AAC (LC) audio track. Except for the use of capitalized extensions (which I don't think should cause a problem), the videos themselves look standard and should be playable on any system using any compatible media or plug-in players that support standard MPEG-4 content and the MOV file container.
    Sorry I couldn't help more.

  • How can I get quicktime to work on a PC?

    I have a website with quicktime videos downloaded. They were working last week, and they are still working when I access the site through chrome on a mac.  However, they are not working through chrome, IE, or firefox this week on my pc.  We have updated, uninstalled, reinstalled and enabled to no avail.  Any tips?

  • Airport (mushroom): can't get it to work with PC laptop...ggrrrrr PCs suck!

    I have the Airport (mushroom model) up and running great. Mac Laptop has no problem. When we bought this version we were told that it was the thing to get if we wanted to be able to get both Mac and PCs onto the net. However when I plug my network cable into the back of the unit my PC can't get an IP address. What am I doing wrong or do I need to do to get this to work for me?
    (the HP printer won't print off the airport either but I want to solve this probem first......)

    The RJ-45 jack on the back labeled <...> is for your computer. The one with the "flower" connects to your cable or dsl modem. If you have them backwards it won't work.

  • *******HELP!!!  Can't get Quicktime to work!

    Was hoping some smart people on here could help. I've updated my software done, everything a computer moron like myself can do!
    when quicktime is within the web page it works fine. But when I try and watch an HD movie trailer (the kind where you click on the link and it opens quicktime in it's own box) -- all I get is brightly colored static!!!
    Any thoughts on what to do???
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    perhaps let's try the following document. (itunes uses QuickTime for video playback, so the same basic troubleshooting techniques apply.)
    the "Disable Direct3D acceleration" section is a good place to start:

  • Can not get quicktime to work

    i have downloaded quicktime 7 and purchased quicktime pro and am using windows xp. i can get the quicktime icon to open up and all of the options are highlighted but it will not play a dvd. i have gone to the option of open file and it will show i have a dvd in the d drive but it will not open it or play it. the dvd will play if i use the windows dvd player but i was hoping to transfer some of my dvd music videos into my itunes. it seems to me that i got ripped of $32 by apple because the quicktime does not work as advertized, it shows the player playing movies etc but the version i bought will not dod anything. does anyone know how to get the quicktime player to play my dvd's?

    QuickTime Player can't open MPEG-2 formats without the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple).
    It also can't export the audio from any "muxed" track files (MPEG 1 or 2 formats) or .swf (Flash).

    Notice the ** next to MPEG-2 on this page?

  • I can't get itunes to work properly on my windows 8 computer

    Itunes will open and I can play music/videos etc, but it locks up while syncing my ipad andiphone and will not access the itunes store.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but it didn't make any difference.  HELP!!

    I finally got it to work right. Some files and folders (iTunes video files, etc) were referenced to my iTunes account, I copied from my backup (external) Hard Drive to my system Hard Drive. The only thing that can keep me from accessing my wish list for some time is a very heavy Internet traffic via iTunes players to iTunes Store. So everything is now NORMAL.

  • How can you get firefox to work locally with the windows subst command?

    I want to test my website locally using the windows subst command to emulate the root of my website. It works perfectly with IE8 (except IE8 displays the layout different to firefox) but will not work with Firefox. All of the images, styles sheets and anything with a root path does not work. If I use a relative path (../../ for example) to the objects they works fine.
    How can I view web pages locally using a website root path?

    Now I understand why Firefox does not load local pages and and IE does. I followed the link and tried all the various solutions. The noscript version did not work (but at least I have better security now) and the \\\\\ UNC path trick did nothing. Eventually I downloaded the IEtab plugin and that worked perfectly. All I wanted to do was to check webpages locally before submitting to my website and the IEtab plugin worked perfectly.
    Thanks

  • Can't get EM to work on Oracle 10.2.0.5 running on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit

    Hi
    Could anyone help me?
    I have tried many things and tried lots of htings other forums have suggested but I can't get EM to work.
    The dbconsole windows services hang on startup, if I do a emctl start dbconsole after setting my sid it returns 3 lines of ......., hangs and then gives an error of 1.
    I have dropped and re-created the repository, I can now login to EM on the correct HTTP port listed in my portlist.ini. But its as though it can't see the instance, it shows a status of pending and a java error of java.lang.Exception: Exception in sending Request :: null at the database homepage.
    The log file for EMCA shows the same error to do with not finding files i the OCJJ directory, but I can browse and see all the files through Windows. Coudl this be some java issue? I have the latest versio of Java installed and have tried reinstalling EM using the OUI.
    The error that appears in the log file is listed below, its the same error repeated but referrs to differan't files in the same DIR.
    \OC4J_DBConsole_.HOSTNAME_SID\config\jms.xml in searching for tag jms-server with attribute port

  • Can't get X to work properly (ATI AIW 9800)

    Hello,
    I have a few problems. My first problem is this. The dpi was messed up when i first install, so i thought no big deal, I'll just go and configure the defaultserverargs setting in the startx script to "-dpi 75". This does not seem to work. Secondly,I can't get gnome to work as my default window manager. I put this line in my .xinitrc file in my home directory:
    exec gnome-session
    I also tried this:
    exec /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
    My last problem is that when i try to install the ati fglrx drivers with the stock kernel arch package but whenever the fglrx module is called, it says that the module doesn't exist. One thing i might mension which might be of importance is that i compiled a custom kernel during install without SMP and preemtivity so i could use my rt2500 wireless card. Thanks in advance for the help
    cheers,
    -Lukas

    sinisterguy:  You're going to need to build your own kernel module, afaik you can't just symlink a module built for another kernel and expect it to work.
    As root, run
    abs
    Once that's done (it'll check out a bunch of stuff from cvs), change to your normal user and either make a directory for the new package, or cd to some temp directory, then:
    cp /var/abs/extra/modules/ati-drivers-arch/* .
    vim PKGBUILD
    then make the following changes:
    pkgname=ati-drivers-arch
    to
    pkgname=ati-drivers-custom
    (or whatever you want to call the package)
    depends=('ati-drivers' 'kernel26')
    to
    depends=('ati-drivers')
    source=(https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-$pkgver-1.i386.rpm fireglcontrol.desktop)
    to
    source=(http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-$pkgver-1.i386.rpm fireglcontrol.desktop)
    (for some reason I can never get the source from the https address through makepkg.)
    and
    _kernel=2.6.15-ARCH
    to
    _kernel=`uname -r`
    Save and quit, then run
    makepkg
    - this'll make you a brand new kernel module package that you can install with
    pacman -A ati-drivers-custom-8.22.5-2.pkg.tar.gz
    You'll need to update this package every update to the ati-drivers in the same way you originally built it.
    If you need more information, ABS is a good place to look, as well as man makepkg.

  • How can I get QuickTime to install

    I am not computer person. All I am is a mom who wants her kids ipods to work. I can not get QuickTime to install or uninstall so that I can use itunes. I updated Windows and I tried several other things but I just can not get it to work. Help me!!!!!!!!

    I finally got the quicktime to download and I also downloaded itunes but it won't work right. When I click on the icon to pull it up so that it will recogize my ipod it tells me it has a error for me to check with microsoft. I had a shuffle at one time that worked and when you plug your unit in it should take you to your playlist and things put it doesn't do that it just tells me I have a error.

  • I am unable to get quicktime to work in IE10

    I am unable to get quicktime to work in IE10 each time it just redirects me to the quicktime download, I've uninstalled and reinstalled quicktime, I've done a reset on IE, tried unchecking ActiveX filtering...Any other ideas?

    I'm working my way through Dreamweaver CC Classroom in a Book. The template in the exercise I'm trying to complete has sections that you can edit and those that you cannot. The links involved are to buttons in the non-editable sections. Since they're non-editable, you can't employ Property Inspector to alter content in those sections. I surmise that the through the Assets Panel approach is supposed to give you the capacity to add hyperlinks to those sections. Double clicking the template does not give you access to those non-editable sections. I've tried that along with a number of other circumventing the Assets Panel approaches. I've dug up a verson of the template from an earlier exercise that doesn't have any non-editable sections and the Property Inspector works fine. With some fumbling aboutI 'm sure I could go right to the code as well.
    Ultimately, I don't think I'll have any difficulty with my project working around the Assets Panel. The deal is... it's supposed to work... and it doesn't. And being blown off by support really ticks me off. I'm sure yoou understand.
    Thanks for your time and effort on my behaf. Being a really stubborn son of a *****... I'll probably keep after this until I get an answer... whether I ever need to use the Assets Panel or not.
                                                                Thanks again.
