  • Can i play napoleon total war in my macbook air

    Hello can i play napoleon total war in my macbook air 11.7 mid12 64g og do it run ok og doesnt my computer gonna slow? Thank.

    The above is a screen cap from the App Store page for the game. Typically when the VRAM for a GPU is listed it's usually targeted at discrete cards not shared GPUs like the one found on the MacBook Air. I have not had the opportunity to install onto my MacBook Air yet as it's only got 4GB of RAM but I did install it on my 13" rMBP with 8GB of RAM and it's playable on low-to-medium. You definitely won't be running the game on ultra.
    I found turning down the shaders, shadows and particle effects help tremendously as by mid-battle with all the units in the play the game definitely got a bit laggy due to pure unit count.

  • Can I play Empire Total War on my Macbook Air 13" 2012?

    I do not need to run it on ultra settings. Just medium without any lag. Here are the specifics for my Air:
    Processor  1.8 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.2 (12C3012)

  • How can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements?  It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Element

    how can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements?  It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Elements

    LGSh
    Lots of questions, lots of answers needed as mentioned by Hunt. But please include what version of Premiere Elements that you are using when you reply.
    How are you importing these file into your Premiere Elements project?
    After you drag your file to the Timeline, do you see both an video and audio component (on Video 1/Audio 1) or is there nothing on the Audio 1 track? If you can see a wave form or file on Audio 1, have you checked all the program's volume settings including Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and the ASIO settings?
    More later.
    Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything written.
    Thank you.

  • Playing MPEG-4 Video Clips

    I am trying to import/play MPEG-4 video clips that I took from a new Sony HDD video camera. The clips play fine on any PC and are saved on an external hard drive. When I connect the external hard drive to my MacBook Pro I click on the icon and it says it can not play because it is not a movie file (even though it is a movie file). It will not open in the Finder or iMovie. What should I do?

    There are millions of different ways that video is encoded. To decode these, you may need the appropriate "codec"
    First thing I'd suggest is trying Perian
    www.perian.org
    This has lots of the encoding for different video types. Then try the video again.
    Alternatively, Sony might be using another codec - although I'd be surprised if they used anything too odd. You could also try the DivX codec - but it may conflict with the one in Perian so I'd try that one first.
    Best of luck

  • Can't play youtube music videos on facebook

    hi everyone, i was wondering, am i the only person who can't play music-videos from youtube - on facebook? i don't have this problem on chrome [which belongs to google, and so is youtube..]
    it started in the last few days, or weeks, before i updated my firefox. i can't play youtube music-videos posted on facebook from facebook, but i can play them only from youtube.com.
    when i try to play a video that has music in it, i get this message:
    "this video contains content from RECORDLABEL. it is restricted from playback on certain sites. watch on youtube"
    i also sometimes get a message that a certain video can't be played from playlists, but i can watch the video from its page [i don't know if it's related..].
    my friends who use chrome can play music-videos on facebook, and i tried for myself and it plays the videos and doesn't show any restrictions messages.
    i didn't try on explorer [bleh] or opera.
    so my question again is, do you have the same problem too?
    i can play this video on facebook: [it's funny as hell, watch it!]
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=717vb7kLKKk
    but i can't play this one on facebook, only on youtube: [and other music-videos, i can give you a million examples]

    thanks :]

    "11 people have this problem", hm... maybe i should try from a different computer. any ideas what might be the problem? if it's because of an addon i have, country, anything?

  • HT3775 how can i open the file MPEG-2 Video, AC3 on my mac, when its coming from a sony camcorder?

    how can i open the file MPEG-2 Video, AC3 on my mac, when its coming from a sony camcorder?

    I think those files are Samsung's proprietary format, so only the Samsung software can open and display them.  If they do not make their software for OS X, then you are stuck requiring windows.
    I thought the DVR itself lets you save as standard avi as the backup file format?

  • LR 5.4 Can't Play or Import Video in OSX Mavericks

    I copied several MP4 video files from the Lumix LX7 card to a folder on an external hard drive. However I can't import them into LR 5.4. Furthermore, I now see that LR can't play any video files (all MP4) that are in the catalog. The playbar doesn't even show up.
    This problem came up when I upgraded to OS X Mavericks and upgraded from LR 4 to LR 5. So I'm not sure what's causing the issue. Was able to import and play videos before, but they played kind of choppy earlier.
    I've since removed all Quicktime plugins (Perian). Made sure I'm using the most recent version of Quicktime (10.3). Repaired permissions and restarted. Still can't play or import video.
    I've also reinstalled LR 5.4 and wiped preferences files. Earlier I couldn't import photos & videos, but I paritially fixed that when I removed the video files from the import folder. I was able to get all the images in fine then. The video seems to be the hangup.
    In catalog: no video preview image, just grey, no playbar.
    In import: generic "camera" preview image, says "Could Not Read Preview"
    Any idea what I can do to get LR to play and import videos, or fix the issue?

    Incidentally, the videos playback without a hitch in Quicktime. When I right-click on any of the catalog videos and select "Show In Finder," the MP4 plays perfectly in Quicktime.
    It just won't play within LR 5.4.

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • Cannot play MPEG-4 video... help please.

    Hi. I'm running OSX 10.4.10, and QT 7.2, yet I cannot play mpeg-4 video files. I get an error message that reads "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file."
    .>; Last I read though, isn't mpeg-4 supported by the current versions of QT? Am I doing something wrong?

    Microsoft didn't follow the industries standards and QuickTime has trouble with some of those files. Even though the extension may say .mp4 it could contain Microsoft codecs which would require third party software help.

  • I can't play music or videos!!

    I can't play music or videos on iPod touch 5! When I play music it pauses and plays by itself and then Siri randomly pops up and then goes away again. The same happens with videos on YouTube; when I watch them they randomly pause and my music starts playing and then Siri starts! I have tried resetting it and it is not insured. Please help?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - dusconnedc/unpluf any headpohnes. Maybe headphone problem is causing problem
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
