Can the clamshell ibook play ANY kind of video?

I have a tangerine clamshell 300 MHZ with 544 MB RAM and the original 3 GB hard drive. I don't even try to stream video. Instead I use keepvid.com or Zamzar.com to download videos to my flash drive. Then I use wimpy flv player to play flash video. I also use Isquint to convert the format to an older form of MP4 (no H264 code) so my computer can play the video through Quicktime. Isquint and wimpy flv player are on a Sandisk 4 GB flash drive so I don't tale up hard drive space. I have tried Kingston and PNY flash drives. Sandisk flash drives are the only drives that work well every time. Other types of drives are not always recognized. Don't give up on the clamshell yet!

    I had to reset it again and use the desktop software reinstalling the entire basic software. On your desktop blackberry software go to the software up date thoght tools and if there are no newer veresions available, chose the botton for las version and intall it.

  • I installed adobe 9 on my Mt. Lion mac and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box from adobe comes up asking me to give them permission to store things on my computer. This is scary to me. Should I say yes?

    I installed adobe 11.9 on my computer and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box comes up from Adobe asking me to give permission to store things on my computer. The boxes are all from adobe but the sites in the boxes differ. Should I say yes?  This is scary to me--virus paranoia.

    You may have the box for 'Ask me before allowing sites...' or 'Block all...' checked in System Preferences - Flash Player, as pictured below... If so, try the 'allow' one instead, or if you prefer, continue to deny/allow when prompted.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • ITunes freezes when playing any kind of video

    Up until a little while ago I was able to use iTunes to stream movie trailers, watch video podcasts, and watch movies saved in my library.  For some reason now I am unable to.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Quicktime and iTunes, and I have even tried using older versions of both of these.
    I can play videos in Quicktime OK, but not in iTunes.
    The moment I hit "play", iTunes freezes.  This happens with ANY kind of video (ie. podcasts, streaming, trailers, local videos, etc.)
    Videos I used to once be able to play I cannot.
    I have synced some of the videos to my iphone and they play fine on it, so the format is correct.
    Any help would be great.

    I had this same problem s a lot of others after updating to the latest I Tunes version. I finally got a decent response back from Apple, which was hard to do. Here is what they told me. Maybe it will help you:

  • Firefox on my laptop wont play any kind of video why?

    I have the latest version of firefox and all the plugins are up to date because I just checked, yet all of a sudden any kind of video, game or whatever that is that is bigger than a normal gif that wants to move and do things wont work. I get youtube saying an error occurred and cant get any other video to load from any place and games too. How do I fix this, how did it happen and how do I prevent it.

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
    1.Double-click the Home button.
    2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    3. Preview will fly off the screen.

  • TS1574 I have a MacBook in which the in speaker mutes automatically for few seconds and the sound comes back. even when I am not playing any kind of video or audio the speaker icon on the on the dock shows the speaker muting and coming back. how can I res

    the speaker of my macbook mutes all at a sudden for few seconds automatically and comes back even the speaker icon which is on top right side of the computer also shows mute at this point. and when the volume of the speaker is pressed at this moment it shows locked symbol of the speaker. Kindly help how to resolve this. I am not sure but recently I did install leopard to upgrade my computer does this effect the problem with my speaker.

    This is all most unfortunate...from what I read in your post you have covered everything that can be done at your end....something is damaged on the Logic Board it sounds like...as to how much it would cost only the people that end repairing will know after it is diagnosed....take it in...tell them what you have found and tried so far...maybe that will help narrow down the problem...
    Good Luck....

  • How to prevent Firefox from playing any kind of video in the browser instead of promting a download dialog

    When i klick on a link for a video files (for example a .wmv File) it opens a new tab and starts playing it, instead of giving me a dialog what it should do with the File so that i can either download it or play it with an external player. I already set all the video files in the "options -> Applications" screen to "Always ask", but instead of asking me, it's simply playing them.
    What can i do to prevent firefox from playing videos?

    Tahnks, but that doesn't help me at all. As i said, i already changed all to "Always Ask", when i Filter for media i get 5 results where each says "Always Ask", so thats not the cause...
    I realized yesterday that this does not happen with all formats, it happens with wmv but not with avi... but still dont know y -.-

  • I can not play any kind of video on my ipad 3 after i installed ios7 please help me ipad 3, iOS 7

    i update to ios7 from ios6.1 jailbreak directly via i tunes

    Ensure you defenetly installed IOS 8 by checking if the "1" badge app icon on settings is off if it is try theese:
    hold old down the sleep/wake button and home button together for 15 seconds wait another 5 secs after it has turned off and let go of the sleep/wake button until Apple logo appears let go of the home button.
    Go to settings > safairi > delete all cookies/history etc
    Delete and re install the YouTube app
    eensure you have at leased over 1GB of space on iPad
    I recommend downloading battery doctor from the App Store (it's free) and you can clear junk files from your iPad
    if non if these work
    Backup your iPad via iTunes on a Mac or PC
    and restore your iPad

  • Can the Droid Razr play digital copies of videos?  If so, how?

    I have several DVDs that I've purchased that came with separate Digital Copies of the film.  I wish to view these films on my device when I travel.  Is this possible and if so, how does one do this?  Short of copying the video file to the "Video" folder on my DROID, and then trying to open this file while viewing this file within the smartphone, I have no idea.  Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

        Hello Lonman, I can assist!  If you have DRM free copies you can add media to your sd card and in return view the data on your device.  Thank you!

  • I have a HP Pavilion dv6 that has suddenly stopped playing any kind of audio. How do I fix this?

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 that suddenly stopped playing any kind of sound.  That's with earphones plugged in or not.  The microphone indicator in sound setup indicates that it is listening to external sound, and when I play system sounds, the speaker icon in the volume mixer indicates that the hardware thinks it is playing sounds, but nothing is coming out of the laptop at all.  I thought if it were a speaker not working internally I could fix it with earphones or external speaker but that isn't working either.  
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update, select 'View update history' in the left hand pane and then select 'Installed updates' link in the following window.
    Locate update KB2962407, right click it and select Uninstall.  When done, restart the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update and select 'Check for updates'.  You'll see the update you just uninstalled being offered again - right click and select 'Hide Update'.
    After this you may or may not need to delete and reload the Audio driver - if you do, the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 8.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 7

  • Can the iPod Touch play radio stations?

    Can the iPod Touch play radio stations? I have an older iPod and I use the Apple product (below) to listen to radio stations on it. I'm thinking of getting an iPod Touch and was wondering if there's any similar products that I can use for the iPod Touch, or even if there's app that would allow me to play radio stations. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA070G/D?fnode=MTY1NDA3NA&mco=MTU1NTExMA

    as already said, most (if not all) of the radio station apps require wifi access, which is fine if you just want to listen where you have wifi access (i.e. at home) but not so good if you want to listen out and about.
    i recently bought one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roberts-Robi-DAB-iPod-adapter/dp/B000X24UOM
    which is brilliant, but i see you're in america, and i dont think you have DAB (digital) Radio over there. there may well be similar products out there though.

    I have an ipod touch 32gb. Model: MC008BT Version: 5.1.1. 3rd ed.
    Recently when clicking play on any song the ipod will shuffle through as many songs as there are in the album or playlist until it reaches the end without playing any songs. It also does not go through each song. For example:
    a 62 song playlist. I start on song 16. Immediatly the song will shuffle: 16-26-54-62 and then back to the main screen. Also when the songs are shuffling the play button in the top right corner is on.
    Music will play if i start from track one with shuffle turned off and repeat turned on. But then i am limited each time to 1-5 songs.
    Ipod has been in excellent working order since this has happened.
    any suggestions on how to fix?

    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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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.             

  • Fix the problem.  What can I do without losing any pictures or videos?

    iPhoto opens, I can see pictures but cannot do anything.  It appears frozen.  Force quit and restart does not fix the problem.  What can I do without losing any pictures or videos?  I cannot check my version of iPhoto.

    I cannot check my version of iPhoto.
    It may be visible the Finder, when you select the IPhoto.app and use the command "File > Get Info".
    Is your profile signature still valid (iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)?)
    Do you have a backup of your iPhoto Library? If not, make a backup copy now.
    What happened directly before this problem first occurred? did you upgrade the system? Install new software? Move your iPhoto library to a new drive? Run any cleaning applications? Did iphoto crash?
