Cannot get Windows Media Player off my computer

I downloaded Windows Media Player for something a while back and found that I did not need it, so I put it in the garbage. Trouble is, I cannot get it out of the garbage! I cannot empty my recycle bin without bypassing the WMP. So I tried taking it out of the trash, but it only copied it out of the trash, so I had to trash the copy as well and now have two copies of WMP in my garbage this will not get off my computer.
Recently have been having problems with my computer just shutting off, and now iPhoto doesn't work properly. Do not know if these things are related. Somebody please help?

Hold down the option key when emptying the trash.

    I'm trying to transfer downloaded music to media player so i transfer it to ipod. Is that the correct way
    to go about that or should I have downloaded to media player to begin with?

    This article by Microsoft explains how to use Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7.
    Lots of good information here; I hope it has the answers you are looking for.

  • Cannot download Windows Media Player for Mac.....

    On this intel-based mac, i cannot seem to download Windows Media Player, or Flip4Mac components for Quicktime...has anyone found a solution for this problem....although i think Quicktime is a really nice media player, Windows Media Player is used much more frequently and i need it to view videos that Quicktime Player cannot open and that are only available in WMA format..please help me!...

    OK here's the deal, you can download www.flip4mac.com and load onto your Intel MBP. First thing to do before launching the flip4mac installer is to go to
    Applications-->Utilities - Find the application "Installer" and right click- get info and check box "open using rosetta".
    Go back to flip4mac installer and launch. It will now allow you to install onto Intel Mac. Previously, you would get an error not allowing you to install on Intel Macs. Should be gone now. Once installed, you can go back and change the installer back to original. Once flip4mac is installed, find the Safari app in the applications folder and right click- get info and select "open using rosetta". All Windows .wmv files will now play within the browser window and not download to your HD. The sacrifice is the hit in speed you'll take while Safari runs in Rosetta mode. But you can toggle on and off as you need.

  • Safari cannot download Windows Media Player

    When I try to download Windows Media Player for Mac on my iTouch the message says Safari cannot download it. Is there a solution to this problem?

    The answer is in your question. The iPod touch (not iTouch) is not a Mac.
    To play Microsoft's proprietary WMV format you need to convert them on your desktop computer to one of the many open standards the iPod touch can play.

  • Cannot install windows media player

    i downloaded windows media player for mac but cannot install it on my macbook pro. its giving me an error that it is not supported on this system. Is there an easy way to install it, or is there a version avaialbe for macbook pro?

    Flip4Mac will not work on Intel Macs as its not Universal yet.
    If anyone here wants a Universal plugin for WMV content and cannot wait for Flip4Mac to go Universal try Popwire Tech.
    http://www.popwire.com/productinfo.php?cPath=1&productsid=7
    Its free for playback of WMV in QT but you have to pay if you want to encode to WMV.

  • How can i get windows media player playlists on my ipod nano

    I have all the songs I'll ever need for my ipod but do I really have to burn all my songs onto a disk and then transfer that to itunes then to my ipod? There has got to be some kind of way that can help me transfer my playlists on windows media player to itunes. Can anyone help me?

    Why would you need to burn all your songs to CD? iTunes will import your MP3 files (and non-protected WMA). Playlists cannot, but can always be recreated.

  • How do I get WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER for Mac to work?!

    I just purchased a mac for the first time and so far I love it except certain videos I try and download seem to require Windows Media Player which is no problem except for every time I download the Mac version it shows up as a Windows.stix file and is just a bunch of garbage it also says that the system doesn't know what to open it with. Basically, its not an installation application like the file should be. Everyone else I know has downloaded this file fine but my luck is not that goood. Does anyone know why this would be happening or could it just be my computer?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The SITX file has to be opened with http://www.stuffit.com/ 's Stuffit Expander.
    Note Windows Media for Mac will not open DRMed videos. For that you need a copy of Windows to install on your Mac.
    You may want to consider writing anyone who just has DRMed videos to make their videos more accessible by making them either available via Quicktime or Realplayer, reminding them Quicktime Broadcaster is free.

  • Cannot install Windows Media Player 11 plugin. Not even manually

    Since I can't install the Windows Media Player 11 plugin through the plugins section, I tried installing it manually from the link http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx multiple times and it still will not show up in about:plugins. I followed instructions from Firefox and rebooted after the install and still won't show up. I am using Windows 7 64 bit and have the latest version of Firefox. cannot play videos embedded in websites that support windows media streaming.

  • I cannot import windows media player files into itunes.

    Can anyone recommend a way to convert wm files so I can import into itunes?
    Thanks
    Alexi

    You need to use a tool such as Switch on the Mac; iTunes on Windows will handle the conversion itself. The Windows version of iTunes won't convert protected WMA files, and no Mac software will.

    You almost need to have it if you're going to be using most web sites. As great as QT is, it doesn't seem to be universally utilized.
    You can get version 9 from Microsoft, but a lot of later content won't work. Flip4Mac is available and works well enough, though there's just something intangibly inelegant for me. Hard to explain, really. It works, though.

  • Windows media player issues with Live 24

    well i've had this card for about 6 months now. took like 3 weeks of fiddling to get it to work the way i want. but i never could get windows media player to work right. if i do get it to work it half works and everything else doesnt...
    When i try to play a music file (mp3 or WMA) it says:
    "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly."
    and yet when i play it on Media Scource (which is very laggy and i am un-impressed!) it works just fine! I have no idea what to do! i've searched on here for what seems like days and have tried everyhtign i found. i've updated drivers, fully uninstalled and reinstalled, made sure several times now that my old on-board (cmeadia 97)sound is disabled. i am at a loss of what to do next!
    any help is apreciated!

    If you try Creative WDM driver (MME or DS) w/ other software, does those work?
    If not, then you need to re-install Creative bundled drivers.
    You can test both w/ NI BeatPort Player as for an example (or w/ Winamp, etc. (w/ Winamp, you can also use Kernel Streaming or ASIO output plugin which both gives maybe a bit better output quality)).
    How 'bout those windows audio settings (start run.. mmsys.cpl)?
    KS for Winamp - http://www.stevemonks.com/ksplugin/
