Can't recognise .MOV files sent from iPhone 3Gs

I get the following message when trying to open quicktime .MOV files on my MacBook emailed from my brother's iPhone 3Gs: 'The document “IMG_0163.MOV” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands.' It's been happening all week. Previously had no problems. What gives?

Try opening it with Quicktime 7. Look in your Utilities folder for Quicktime 7. If you don't have Quicktime 7 installed here's how to install Quicktime onto Snow Leopard:

Or you can download Quicktime 7 from Appl's web site.

  • Can't synch Notes or Contacts from iPhone 3GS after upgrade to iOS5

    After I upgraded to iOS5 on my iPhone 3GS, I no longer can synch Notes and Contacts from iPhone to Outlook or iCloud. Calendar synchs OK.

    After 2 hours with Apple Support, which was great, we figured out the issue. 1-800-my-iphone. When I upgraded to iOS5 and started using the iCloud, I was unaware that my previous synching settings were still set to Yahoo.com where I had been sycning wirelessly in the past. So the Apple support tech showed me that I had multiple accounts in both Notes and Contacts. I had iPhone, iCloud, yahoo, Outlook accounts and my default settings on the iphone should have all been set to icloud. Syching was occuring, but not in icloud. It took a little manual conversion of some Notes and Contacts into the icloud folders in Outlook, but now everything works and I only display and use the iCloud accounts in Notes and Contacts. Apple realizes that this is an issue for those of us that were previously using Yahoo and equivalents for wireless synching and they provded my support free. Usually they charge $27. All is well.

  • Can't open word files sent from my 9500 to E90

    Can some one please help me,
    word documents sent to my E90 from my 9500 won't open,
    message says :Unable to open file not supported,
    It all started with data mover, Contact & Calendar entries are fine but document folders are recognised but won't open,
    Nokia suggested using drag & drop, using Pc suit
    with the 9500 connected drag all wanted files from the phone into my Pc then connect the E90 and reverse the process, files appear but I can't open them,
    Then I was told to e-mail from my Pc as an attachment,
    did'nt work either, doesn't matter how you get the files into the E90 you don't seem to be able to open them.
    So, is it possable to get word files into an E90 from a 9500
    Thank you.

    Open Word file in 9500, choose "Save as" from the Menu and you will have an option on one of the buttons at the right of the screen regarding the Format. Press that button and choose MS Word format. If you save all your Word files like this you should be able to open them on E90.
    This is from memory alone. If I was not clear enough, please let me know and I will give you more detailed instructions. Good luck.
    Me again, opened and a file in my 9500 and saved it in MS Word 97 then using Pc Suit copied it from one phone into the other, but once again I get the same message (Unable to open.. File type not supported)
    I don't know if all E90's come with the same programs pre-loaded, in mine I have a program entitled Quick Office in which it says you can open and manipulate Word files along with Excel and also Lotus Notes but first you have to purchase and download software from Nokia to activate it,
    I have found that if I go into Quick Office and write a document in word then save it, I get the same message as above when I try to open it,
    As I said in my previous message, I suspect I will have to purchase the Quick Office software from Nokia,
    I look forward to hearing your thoughts,
    Kind Regards.

  • Can't open excel files sent from windows xp pc

    sending excel files from pc via msoffice and when received on imac (mail v2.1) file is a '.dat' file, not a format that excel can open. should be a '.xls' file. file is sent as an attachment to an email from ms outlook on the pc.
    get same result when sending to entourage on the mac.
    msoffice v.X is installed on mac. msoffice 2002 is installed on the pc.

    I am also using Office for the Mac and I never had such an issue. I have received hundreds of excel files from pc users and same number of files from mac users.

  • Can't open mov files on my ipad

    Since one of the last IOS updates, I can't open Mov files sent from my own IPhone  via email.
    I have had a new ipad swapped under warranty, and have reloaded all software from scratch.
    When I get the email with the video file. The file is an attachment, I click the file, it downloads, then when I click it to view the video I get a white screen with the file name in the middle and the words quick time movie. And nothing happens

    You should download VLC and try viewing the .mov file with it - for troubleshooting.

  • How to import .MOV files coming from everio camcorder ?

    How can I import  .MOV files coming from everio camcorder to imovie ? All I've tried failed, iMovie doesn't want my files, or even recognize.
    All answer welcome.
    Thanx

    JVC released the Quicktime Components update:
    <http://www2.cli.co.jp/products/ne/update_qtc_for_gzhd7/qtc3e_update.htm>
    which should take care of TOD files playing in Quicktime, but:
    The answer to your question depends on which model JVC camcorder you have.
    Here are a few basics:
    1. If you have a JVC HD Everio that records in the AVCHD high definition file format (.mts file extension), and you have an Mac with an Intel processor, (sound like you do) running iMovie '08 or '09, then it should  be no problem. Simply connect the camcorder via USB and launch iMovie.
    2. If you have a slightly older JVC HD Everio that records MPEG2 high definition (.tod file format), then it is easiest if you record in the special 1440CBR mode, and transfer your video to your Mac using an i.Link (Firewire Connection) using the "Playlist Dubbing" process which is explained in your owner's manual.

  • Illustrator CC 2014 can't open files sent from Draw.

    Illustrator CC 2014 v18.0.0 (just installed today, 11/6/2014): I can't open files sent from Adobe Draw. The files send from Draw OK, but in Illustrator—which finally opens as advertised—I get an error message, i.e. The file "Dog - Drawing 1.draw" is in an unknown format and cannot be opened. This goes for all of my work, whether created in Ideas then opened recently in Draw, or files created in Draw from scratch.

    Illustrator files (.ai or .pdf)  that I save using CC 2014 vs 8.1.0 on my Windows (8.1) machine on our network server. I try to open them on Mac.
    'The File "x.pdf" is an unknown format and cannot be opened'
    This may in some way be related to accessing the file over the server since when I transfer the file to my lcal drive I don't get the same error.  I still can't open the file but I get an error near the end of the opening process :
    "Could not read the file because the plug-in made an invalid request of the Photoshop adaptor"
    Again, I can open this file using CC 2014 vs 8.1.0 on my Windows (8.1) machine.
