Divx Plus Player for Mac OSX 10.5.8

Unfortunately, I clicked the "upgrade now" button in a Divx pop up while trying to start buffering an online video stream.
That's when my nightmare began.  I have no clue what type of Divx version I had before, but this new, upgraded version has made
viewing a nightmare.  Slow buffering, stuttering, movie stalls half way thru and will not continue no matter what.
I found a suggestion in one of the topics by Stuicy to download this:
Get the DivXPlusWebPlayer-2.dmg, you don't need the whole divx bundle, all the bundle gives you is extra rubbish you don't need, and clutters up your HD.
Uninstall anything to do with divx on your computer, then install the divx-plus web player.  Then you can play divx on the web on sites like stagevu, icefilms and veehd.
Oh, one last thing, if you have updated to Safari 5.1, then divx player just won't work at all, but it will work in earlier versions if you "get info" on Safari and make it open in 32-bit mode.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This too is not working properly. I just noticed that the topic was for the Snow Leopard, so this link might be the wrong one for my Mac.
All I want is, like Stuicy says, to just download the web player that will allow me to view the movies thru online streaming on what ever web site they are offering it.
Will someone please inform me of the right download and please provide a link to it.  I am not tekkie savvy and I am at my wits end. 
Thank you. 

Hi Bart,
I also found a real easy way to clean out Finder in this link:
http://lifehacker.com/308898/clean-up-finders-open-with-menu
The MacApper weblog details how to clean out Finder's Open With menu so that uninstalled and duplicate applications don't bog down the list of apps you want to use.
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices
and trash it (you can back it up if you want)
If you want to get even more granular with your Open With Menu, check out this link:

  • Flash Player for Mac OSX 10.5.8

    I've been trying to find the right flash player to install on my mac osx 10.5.8 using safari. I can't play video on youtube or facebook because it says im missing plug-in. This issue keeps coming up. I have in the past few months uninstalled the version i had and installed an older version of flash 10.1 but then that stopped working a few days ago, and now nothing works. I have tried uninstalling old versions,and searched every forum about this but i cant find an answer.Does anybody have an answer to this issue?

    Hi Lindsey;
        This fix was for a mac PPC not intel. I did get this email you can
    try and see if this will help.
    Mark & everybody else, I found this fix on youtube, I tested the above
    page Lotus Cars - Lotus Esprit
    <http://www.lotuscars.com/en/new-lotus-esprit> and on facebook & it
    worked. Go to Flash Player fix for Mac PPC - YouTube
    <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCrAKhv3R_c> then click where it says
    "Show more" below the video & click on the link or click here to

    Vincent, that Tenfourfox maybe fast but, won't let any plugins work with
    their browser.

  • Reinstall Flash CS3 for Mac OSX

    Recently had to replace the hard drive on my Mac Book Pro. Data transfer to the new hard drive went well EXCEPT for my attempts to reinstall Flash CS3 and Flash Player (I'm forgetting the name of the latest and greatest version of the media player--forgive my temporary ignorance). I followed all of the procedures outlined in the ReadMe file. Have tried it several times to no avail. I keep getting an error message at the end of the reinstall process and the program will not open. All of the application files appear to be on my hard rive. Something is missing or needs to be repaired. I just don't know where to start to find out what needs to be repaired or replaced or updated. I suspect that because there have been numerous updates to Flash player, something related is interfering with the reinstall process. Any advice help would be appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Mike, thank you very much for your help. Luckily I have found the

  • Flash fails for Mac OSX

    I just cannot install the free Flash Player 9 for Mac OSX
    (PowerPC). I get an "Access denied Error 1008:5,-5000" , then "You
    do not have enough access privileges for this installation". I've
    installed/uninstalled countless times and even tried to install
    older Player versions. No success.
    And when I access webpages viia my Safari 1.3.2 ( on Mac OSX
    10.3.9), any Flash content gets a box saying there's no MIME plugin
    "application/x-shockwave-flash". It then sends me to the Player
    download page all over again!
    I have Quicktime Pro 7.1.6 and have ticked all its MIME

    So far nothing via Adobe or Apple has worked...
    Help! (another one for Adobe's Bentley Wolfe?)

  • Flash player version for mac osx 10.5.8

    have downloaded flashplayer removal update and restarted computer. what version of flash player do I now download for mac osx 10.5.8. i have dedicated today to sort this out please help me!

    I think you need a 10.x version (probably 10.3.183.10).
    Here's Adobe's Archive of old flash players.  Scroll down.  There's a 10.3.183.20 in the list.  It downloads a zip with both windows and mac versions.  After expanding you can fish out the mac version.

  • What is the latest update available for Mac OSX 10.5.8 that will allow me to get the latest update for iTunes.  I really need to update my iPhone and CAN'T!!  GRRRR!!!

    What is the latest update available for Mac OSX 10.5.8 that will allow me to get the latest update for iTunes.  I really need to update my iPhone and CAN'T!!  GRRRR!!!

    Minimally you need Snow Leopard or greater:
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Can't install flash player on Mac OSX version 10.4.11

    Hello
    I've spent the morning trying to do this and still no joy. I had flash player already and when trying to use the 4oD website it asked me to download or upgrade flashplayer. I did, the correct version according to my mac version. All goes well and the window message says 'installed successfully'.The only thing I find strange is that just before this message appears I hear the sound of items being put in the 'trash' ... and there they are. Other times the message error -1409 appears. The only icon that appears is the Flash player installer.pkg so not sure whether the application was installed or just the installer!  All web searches prompt me to download the missing plug in, both in safari and mozilla. Java script is definitely enabled on both browsers.
    I have use the uninstall package three times, restarted the computer, downloaded flash player again but no change.
    Forgive my limited use of jargon - this doesn't make any sense to me but I've just spent 3 hours following instructions to no avail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why did Apple destroy iTunes? Is there another music player for Mac.

    I hate the new iTunes. Useless steps for navigation. They took something simple and complicated. Is there another music player for Mac. Unless I get the old iTunes back I'm done! I would use anything but this ridiculous player. How could they do this? Steve Jobs would never have let this happen.
    Plus it's slow!!! Diffcult to burn CDs then find them. Yikes!!!!

    iTunes works fine for me, and hasn't been "destroyed" by any means. If you can't deal with the new, simpler interface, just go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and "Show Status Bar". iTunes 11 will then look much like the pervious versions did.
    Diffcult to burn CDs then find them.
    Not sure what you mean here. In what way is it difficult to burn a CD, and what do you mean by "then find them"?
    Regards.

  • Standalone vst player for mac

    hey there
    is there a standalone vst/vsti player for mac (freeware that is) so I don't have to open up logic to see, test and playaround with new vst's?
    thanks a million
    jazz

    I used VSTack a few years ago when it came out and I still was on Cubase.
    My personal opinion:
    It was great at the time because it was one of it first to realize that no matter how fast your main machine is, you WILL run out of steam. VTAcks concept of outsourcing has a few flaws:
    * You need to have the plug-ins installed on those computer (1 or 2) that runs VSTack. Good luck getting all those authorizations figured out.
    * You have a **** of a data organisation in front of you. Every Song that uses the VSTack machine has to be stored separately and you have to note in the master song where it is is.
    * A major issue with VSTack is the support from Steinberg. It took ages to go from 1.0 to 1.2 to address the major bugs. I just saw VSTack on Steinbergs website, still 1.2. I think that version is now 2 years old. So it seems VSTack is high on Steinbergs priority list next to the OSX MIDI driver for the MIDEX which I guess is still in beta after 5 years!?
    A much better concept is Apple's "distributed audio" with Logic Nodes. Everything stays in the master file and you just outsource the processing power. Major drawback however is the current limitation to Logic plug-ins only (Except EXS24, Ultrabeat)

  • Questions on Flip4Mac and MS Windows Media player for Mac

    If one installs "flip4mac" sofware, the plugin is installed. Will there be a icon or an application file for this software and an uninstaller file in the application folder? Do I have to activate the plugin before I use the web site to play the "wma" or "wmv" files? or it is not necessary to do that once it is installed? To uninstall, do I activate the "uninstall" file or the icon in the application folder?
    As per Dave, in the Maxfixit, he says he uninstalled and went back to using media player. Does the Microsoft WM player handle DRM files to play? If so why Craig is saying that Flip4Mac is a "MUST HAVE"? Why not install the Microsoft WM player instead of Flip4Mac?
    If one wants to install Microsoft WM player, what is latest version available for Mac? and where can I get it from and install it? MS WM player for Mac ver 9 comes in .bin or .hqt formats not .dmg format. Does the .bin format be installed by doule clicking on the file? or you need "stuffit" prog to expand and install the same?
    Appreciate your suggestions regarding this matter. Thanks.

    A Flip4Mac application folder is created in the Applications folder.  An uninstaller is included in the folder along with the Flip4Mac player application.
    Flip4Mac currently does not play files that are protected by the MS DRM.  However, if you use WMP on an Intel Mac you will have to run the browser in Rosetta because the WMP browser plug-in is not a universal binary.  I'm not sure that the Mac version of WMP will play DRM protected files.
    Yes, Stuffit is required to unpack the archive.  You can download Stuffit Expander from www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com or www.allume.com.

  • Windows Media Player for MAc and other issues

    I just bought a mac a week ago.
    Decided to do the switch since the person at the store told me I could use the win XP interface. Anyway after installing the win xp, i realised my laptop doesnt not recognise the drivers.I got no sound, no airport. I am not too sure if the service pack is the issue. I am using service pack one.
    Since I need to listen to some online lecture recordings and my xp doesnt have sound, i have to use it on MAC OS. But as the problem is the site kept telling me to install Internet explorer 5.5 and above and after install IE for MAc 5.1, it ask for Windows Media player. I installed flip4mac and media player for mac ..it still doesnt work...
    I am truly sad to see the difficult in using a macbook and i kinda regretted getting it. It just getting on my nerves....
    can someone please guide me or do you have any similar problem?
    Thanks

    sound, no airport. I am not too sure if the service
    pack is the issue. I am using service pack one.
    Yes the service pack is an issue if you're using Boot Camp to run XP. If you don't have SP2, you can try running Parallels Desktop (http://www.Parallels.com) which doesn't require SP2.
    Since I need to listen to some online lecture
    recordings and my xp doesnt have sound, i have to use
    it on MAC OS. But as the problem is the site kept
    telling me to install Internet explorer 5.5 and above
    and after install IE for MAc 5.1, it ask for Windows
    Media player. I installed flip4mac and media player
    for mac ..it still doesnt work...
    Some streaming media sites are not compatible with Mac OS X. Are these online lectures for school? I would simply ask the person running the class to help you get support. They can tell you pretty quickly if it's possible to listen with a Mac. If it's not, you should be able to do it from XP with either Parallels or Boot Camp (provided you have an SP2 version of XP).
    I am truly sad to see the difficult in using a
    macbook and i kinda regretted getting it. It just
    getting on my nerves....
    There are times that using a Mac (with 5% market share) is frustrating because many websites don't follow standards properly. If the web designers blow it off and only support Windows, 95% of the users are still happy and don't complain. That's lazy and infuriating but it happens quite a lot. There's even a name for it: Mac Marginalization.
    So you will run into this from time to time. The best solution on the Macbook is to get one of the Windows environments up and running properly. But you should still complain LOUDLY to the people who set up the bad website. The only way this will change is if users let lazy site administrators know that they are MAD about it.

  • Vmware Fusion Beta for Mac OSX Released Today

    I don't know if this is the correct forum; if it's not, please pardon me.
    VMware Fusion Beta for Mac OSX has been released today. This product, while the developers admit has some bugs in it, promises to make virtual computing a whole lot easier and would eliminate for many (not all) the need to use Boot Camp. The link for this new program is http://www.vmware.com/products/beta/fusion/
    On that page you can find links for support and forums as well.
    If you need a free virtual appliance to use with Fusion, then use this link http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/
    Currently, there is no charge for using the BETA program. The VMWare folks are asking people to give feedback on their use of the product.
    This is what we've been waiting for to purchase our new MAC. I can say without a doubt that from my own experience with Linux boxes, VMWare is the best virtual solution on the market. It's easy to configure and supports a wide variety of hardware and OSs. I can even move the virtual machines I created under Linux to my new MAC when I receive it.
    The time has finally dawned for me to retire the last remaining pc towerbox in my home. My wife and I recently expunged one of those machines earlier this week and are eagerly looking forward to getting rid of the other one.
    We am really looking forward to purchasing the new Mac Pro. What makes it especially appealing for us is it's scalability and the fact that we can use our current hardware,including our Kensington Track Ball mouse and current monitor with it, although we are taking a serious look at a new Apple Display as well.
    Many thanks to everyone for taking the time to read this post. I am looking forward to joining and my wife is looking forward to rejoining the MAC community.

  • Problems with Windows Media Player for Mac's

    Is it safe to download and opperate Windows media player for Mac's to view video on the web ?
    Anybody has experience with it ? What are possible problems that may be encountered ? Thanks for any input or feedback.

    "Is it safe to download and opperate Windows media player"
    Sure, why not?
    You should know that's it's discontinued, and no longer developed by Microsoft, and therefore will never be native to Intel Macs. You should look to the free Flip4Mac QuickTime plugin from flip4mac.com

  • The Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 10 removed the Java plugin from Firefox 5.0. How do I re-install it?

    I've just installed Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 10 and can no longer run Java Applets from Firefox 5.0

    Dear Craig,
    Macbook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB RAM
    I'm sure that this is 64-bit
    CF 8.0.1 Enterprise Build 3080
    I had moved the Java SE 6 to the top in both Plugin and Applications. The
    correct version is showing in the terminal window. See below.
    Last login: Thu Jun 18 11:27:09 on ttys001
    Beta-4:~ Colin$ java -version
    java version "1.6.0_13"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03-211)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.3-b02-83, mixed mode)
    Beta-4:~ Colin$
    CF will not start. I have the activity monitor open, and when I start CF you
    see it in the activity monitor for a few seconds as it starts up. When the
    message process is completed in the terminal window CF disappears in the
    activity monitor.
    Any suggestions?
    C
    Hi, Colin,
    My apologies but I forgot to ask 2 questions: (1) What kind of Mac you have
    (Intel or PowerPC)? (2) What version of CF are you running and what installer
    did you choose (8 or 8.0.1, 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.)?
    To start, try the following:
    1. Normally you'd shut CF down first ... but that's not necessary for you
    2. Open Java Preferences again
    3. Select Java SE 6 and move it (drag) to the top spot in both section (Applet
    Plugin and Applications)
    4. Open Terminal
    5. Type java -version (you should see 1.6.0_13 as the new version)
    6. Try to start CF again
    This may not work (I've had issues with it) but it's technically how it's
    supposed to work. With the Java Preferences utility, you're visually setting a
    default JVM (you can do it with commands in Terminal but this is much faster
    and easier).
    If CF still won't start, look for the jvm.config file in your CF application
    folder (try /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin or
    /Applications/ColdFusion8/runtime/bin -- the latter is where a jvm.config file
    is on my machine for a particular version of CF that's installed similar to
    yours). You can override the JVM in this file but, hopefully, that won't be
    necessary!
    Best,
    Craig
