Conflict between RealPlayer and QuickTime on a MacBook Pro

I am trying to open a .wma file and RealPlayer is saying it cannot open the file with the current version of QuickTime installed. Any insights?

I upgraded my new late 208 mbp and have been having ram problems ever since. My computer keeps locking up usually during video play and makes screeching noises and has weird 1 inch thick horizontal lines that go across my screen when it happens. I have to do a hard shutdown. I called macsales.com where i got the OWC memory and they said there is an issue with the video drivers and the third party memory. I have already had a replacement computer from Apple and it is still happening on a different computer. i did a fresh install of the OS but still having it. So be aware....it's already happened on two computers for me!

  • Software conflict between iPhoto and Sony MP3 player

    I am experiencing a major software conflict between iPhoto and my Sony MP3 player (model: NWZ-E443). In the past, whenever I connect the MP3 to my 2009 MacBook Pro, iPhoto always opened. I would simply close iPhoto and everything would be OK, though. But after upgrading iPhoto a few months ago via an upgrade download I am now unable to view images full-screen. Although thumbnails display OK, when I double-click on any of them to display full-screen, the MP3's 'Do Not Disconnect' image displays full-screen instead, even when the MP3 is not connected.
    I have tried reinstalling iPhoto from the original iLife disc, but this didn't work and my fear is that the Sony software has somehow corrupted every image single file in my library.

    Turns out my Mac put code on the mp3 player because after I reset the mp3 player to its 'factory settings', (erasing everything) it went back to normal and now shows up in the finder window.

  • Conflict between VPN and Airport disk

    Hello Folks, I just bought a brand new airport extreme 802n.
    I thought it would be working fine with my Macbook pro, but it doesn't.
    I can't access any externe hard disk or USB Stick through the airport extreme, although the format is FAT32. I checked and checked but found nothing useful. All the settings are default.
    Worth to mention, I always use a cisco VPN client to get connected to the Internet (university student).
    There are few times when I disconnected the VPN Client, the USB Client can be found and read, but not be written.
    I though it is a conflict between VPN and Airport disk. So I tried without VPN, but the USB stick and the extern hard disk still didn't work properly. I have no idea what is happening could somebody help?
    By the way is it possible to set Airport extreme as a VPN router so I don't have to use the cisco VPN client anyway?
    Any reply is appreciated
    Thank you !

    I have an Airport Extreme connected to a cable modem
    with comcast as my isp. The Extreme is connected to
    a G4 dual processor mac via ethernet. I also have 3
    airport expresses around the house to work as range
    extenders. When I had the G4 connect to the Extreme
    via its internal airport card, I had no difficulty
    connecting to any of the Expresses around the house
    with my g4 powerbook. Now that I have the G4 Dual
    directly connected by ethernet to get the fastest
    speed, I cannot get my expresses or my laptop to
    connect through my laptop to the base station. all
    lights are green on the expresses, but running
    network diagnostics on the powerbook shows red or
    yellow for the last two buttons on the right. Do I
    have a configuration problem or an Extreme that won't
    bridge properly?
    Check that the G4 Dual has a location configured with
    only "Built-In Ethernet" activated, and that its
    Ethernet connection isn't shared on AirPort.
    Turn off all your AX and check that your
    PB G4 is able to connect to "your" AirPort network.
    Take advantage of this silence of all your AX
    to run an analysis of your wireless environnement:
    - check that you don't have any neighbor wireless
    network,
    - check that on each of your AX settlement you have a
    very good reception of "your" AirPort network.
    If everything works fine to that point, add one AX to
    your network, and check the reachability of your network
    where you wanted to extend it.

  • Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI.  Sample rate 42804 recognized.  Check conflict between Garageband and external device.

    Sometimes, while playing back my software instrument songs, I get an intermittent pop-up error message, saying "Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI.  Sample rate 42804 recognized.  Check conflict between Garageband and external device."
    (Sometimes the five digit number is different, but remains a five-digit number beginning with "4".)
    Simultaneously, the song stops until I press the "Okay" button in the pop-up window.
    When I continue to play the song, the sound is jerky and clipped, and the playhead doesn't keep up with the song, and then suddenly jumps to the part of the song currently being played.
    There's also a sound of static.
    The issue seems to occur whether or not I have my MIDI controller turned on and plugged into my desktop Imac.
    Tony

    Hello,
    open your Audio MIDI Setup utility and set the input to 44100

  • How can I resolve conflict between itunes and Windows 8.1

  • 10.6, quicktime, and itunes on a macbook pro 2.53 w/ 4gb ram and ssd

    Hi,
    I am experiencing something extremely weird, and extremely frustrating...
    What I am experiencing is that after I've been using my system for a while, I will launch quicktime, and I will get the spinning ball forever.. If I launch iTunes it will just bounce on my dock forever and not launch.
    Then I have to reboot, which is sometimes impossible to do, so I will have to manually tell my system to shutdown via the terminal.
    When my mac reboots, everything is fine.. Quicktime launches, iTunes launches, happy world...
    ... So I thought it was perhaps something that I was doing (applications that I was running, websites I was visiting etc.), but now I have evidence that it's not. Which is even more confusing. Last night, a friend wanted me to pull up something on quicktime-- I got the spinning ball.. Said "ugh, I don't understand what is up with my system". Clicked restart.. It wouldn't restart.. lauched terminal.. sudo shutdown -h now... Ok.. it's off.. turn it on.. Launch quicktime.. hooray.. there's the video..
    Ok-- That was the extent of me using my computer. I left it on after that for many hours.. and eventually closed the laptop.
    In the morning, opened it up.. Clicked quicktime, and.. SPINNING BALL. Had to reboot.
    so, the only thing I can think is that something is occurring inactivity, or sleep, something that is causing QT and iTunes to mess up... I tried doing various tests, but could not come up with anything. I tried just running my screensaver for a while, but quicktime still comes up no problem.
    Very frustrating.. I want to know if anyone else is experiencing this, and if there are any suggestions for what I should do. I have zapped p-ram, I have repaired permissions...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    1. That's a risk, and more in a MacBook Pro, that has got everything soldered except the hard drive and memory.
    2. If you want performance, buy a SSD. It will get the best performance but they are expensive, so you should consider the option to buy a SSD with a small capacity to store OS X and applications and an external disk for other data.
    3. SSDs are much better than hard disk drives because they haven't got mechanical parts. You will notice this difference in read and write tasks like a startup, that will be much faster. However, in other tasks, it doesn't mind if you have a HDD or a SSD, because performance depends on the processor and graphic card. Also, you will notice a difference with a 7200 rpm hard disk.
    4. You can take it to an Apple Store or reseller to see what they can do in order to repair your computer

  • I can't seem to decide between the 13" or the 15" MacBook Pro. I had a 14.5 in Dell which crashed on me for the third and last time. It was also my primary home computer. Is the 15" necessary or should I just get the 13"?

    I can't seem to decide between the 13" or the 15" MacBook Pro. I had a 14.5" I'm just used to that size. Dell which crashed on me for the third and last time. It was also my primary home computer. Is the 15" necessary or should I just get the 13"? I probably won't be doing any graphics or anything like that.

    It is really a matter of your personal preference. You have to choose between the extra carrying convenience of the smaller machine and the greater "real estate" of the bigger. I use a 15", and have not found it inconvenient for carrying, even on aircraft, where it has to share backpack space with an SLR camera and assorted lenses.

  • [JS CS3] Conflict between palettes and panels

    Hello,
    I am having a conflict between panels and palettes. Hopefully I can get some direction without having to copy the code here, because it is very long.
    I have a window of the palette type. This palette has buttons and radio buttons. The buttons call up various functions.
    The radio buttons, however, make visible/invisible a series of panels in the palette. The panels are stacked upon each other, only one of which is visible at any one time, depending upon which radio button is selected.
    One of the buttons in the palette calls up another palette (which also has a series of buttons for various functions). Let's call it the little palette. The problem is, that after the little palette is called up, the radio buttons in the big palette no longer work. I can select them but they will not make visible/invisible any of the stacked panels. The buttons in the visible panel work as well as all the other buttons that are always visible. The only thing that does not work are the radio buttons.
    My only workaround is to just dismiss the palette and call it up again. But I'd rather fix this bug.
    Any ideas? If I need to I can strip down the coding leaving only the essentials, but rather not take the time if this is a problem others have run into and hopefully have a solution for.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Thanks.  I'll give it a try, but I even uninstalled both programs, tried
    reinstalling Reader only, and when that didn't work, uninstalled Reader and
    then reinstalled Acrobat.  Still a problem.  The particular website is
    www.officeally.com, and it opens the PDF file in a browser window, I believe
    using an ASP file.

  • Name space conflict between static and instance method

    Hello,
    there seems to be a very unfortunate name space conflict between static and instance method name. Consider:
    static String description() that should return a description of a class.
    String description() that should return a description of an instance.
    That seems to confuse the compiler. How come? Static and instance methods don't have anything to get confused about.
    Thanks for any insights :-)

    Umm...jeez.
    It's not a bug, it's the way it's supposed to be.
    Since a static method can be called the same way an instance method
    A instance = new A();
    A.staticMethod();
    instance.staticMethod();it's not allowed.
    Also in the class, you can call
    public void myMethod() {
          instanceMethodInClass();        // You don't need this, it's superfluous
          staticMethodInClass();          // You don't need the class name.
    }If you didn't understand, then just accept the fact that it is so. Some day you'll understand it.

  • Does anyone know the difference between the Applecare Warranty for the Macbook Pro and the Applecare Protection Plan Auto Enroll 607-8192-B APP FOR MacBook

    Does anyone know the difference between the Applecare Warranty for the Macbook Pro and the Applecare Protection Plan Auto Enroll 607-8192-B APP FOR MacBook

    AFAIK, the difference is that the auto-enroll occurs automatically when you purchase the device and you will have to disburse the cost right there and then. Whereas the other comes in a box, can be purchased separately later and you must manually enroll your device into the system to activate the additional protection. This must occur before the base one year warranty is over.
    So, if you don't want to pay up at the moment you buy the computer, you can wait up to say 11 months and buy the AppleCare warranty extension later. Just be sure to complete the enrollment BEFORE the base warranty is over, else Apple will not honor the extension (all in the fine print). This applies to all devices that offer an AppleCare option: notebooks, desktops, iStuff, etc.

  • Synchronisation problems between apple mail client on a MacBook Pro and Gmail

    I am having synchronisation problems between apple mail client and gmail on the MacBook Pro, but no similar problems on the ipad and iphone. My mail is not being collected by the aplle mail client on the laptop, and now all my inbox for my gmail account has disappeared, although the Archive and sub folders under "Google" are still showing.
    This is an intermittent problem.
    I have previousy re-built the mailbox and solved the problem, but there must be something more fundamental going on, as the problem has occurred again.
    Anyone have any tips?

    Sorry, but no. POP3 versus IMAP has nothing to do with keeping spam off your computer. Your ISP should be doing its filtering before the mail reached the mail server in either case, and your Mac would be doing its filtering after downloading the mail from the mail server in either case. (Your iPad does no filtering at all.)

  • How do I share music in iTunes between different iTunes account on the MacBook Pro?

    How do I share music in iTunes between different iTunes account on the MacBook Pro?

    If it's in a single iTunes library, it's already being shared. If it's in separate user accounts on the computer, move one library to the /Users/Shared/ folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, point it there, and import the music from the other library to it.

  • My wife and I both have the iphone and we use my macbook pro with iTunes to sync our ipods. When I do something on my iPhone it shows on hers. How do I set up her a seperate iTunes acct on my mac so she can operate independent of me?

    My wife and I both have the iphone and we use my macbook pro with iTunes to sync our ipods. When I do something on my iPhone it shows on hers. How do I set up her a seperate iTunes acct on my mac so she can operate independent of me?

    There's info here on setting up separate libraries and user accounts. You won't have to reload (or re-import) all the music, just copy it.
    The reason I suggest separate accounts on the Mac is because if you have the two libraries under the same user account, iTunes will also open the last library that was open in that account, and you'll always have to be mindful of which library that is. If you open iTunes and find it's not your library, you'll have quit, relaunch holding the option key and select the other library.
    No, you won't have to log in and out of the Mac. (If I'm understanding your question here.) Multiple accounts can be logged in at the same time. And with fast user switching, you can toggle between user accounts.
    I'll admit that maintaining the two libraries gets a little tricky, because if you share all the same music, you'll have to add it to one and update the other. (That won't happen automatically.) But I think Home Sharing makes this much easier to do.
    Hope that helps!

    Is battery life a factor in your decision? If so, knowing that may help someone else give you some more input.
