Downloaded films/ some podcasts don't work

I'm not 100% sure this is too do with quicktime, but since i downloaded the latest version, whenever i try to watch a downloaded film through torrents, or some podcasts on itunes, after a few minutes of watching the screen freezes on a particular still, but the audio continues. this has only began to happen since i downloaded the latest version of quicktime!
help!

Some podcast video files are not compatible with play on iPod. iTunes should warn of this during sync, unless you have told it to not warn you by checking the do not tell me again box in the warning dialog.
Check with the podcast producer. Sometimes they have different versions of the files to subscribe to.

Some links don't work in Safari

I ran a whole bunch of software updates a while ago (funny, after the entire process, nothing actually updated... I had to run it again later), and somehow, in the process, something went wrong with Safari. Now, some links don't work. It's mostly links in the content portions of webpages. For example, things like the Store/Mac/etc buttons at the top of the Apple site work fine, but things like links in forum signatures don't. I have to open them in a new tab. I tried updating Safari, but it didn't fix anything. I've tested Firefox and Camino and they work fine, but Safari is my browser of choice, so this is pretty irritating. Any ideas as to what's causing this and how to fix it?

You might try installing a fresh version of SafariStand and see if you still have the problem with dead links. I'm not familiar with the 'Quick Search' feature but you could have a look at Glims. Don't try to run both Glims and SafariStand together.

I have spotty signal at my home, so some functions don't work until I leave the house. I noticed on the main screen, it says I have 54 emails, but when I open the app, I only have 4. I powered down and back up. No fix. What gives?

Im having this same problem an my phone is about 3 weeks old. I am not sure about the voice over part though...I have not yet figured out how to work the voice recognition part of the phone...I am such a newbie with this phone. I did the power off/on suggestion, several times. I tried leaving it off for 10 minutes. Tried to reset with the power on/off and home button pressed at the same time. Charged battery. Still makes no difference. You cannot scroll any direction. Have to double click to open apps. Have to double click letters when texting or emailing in order to get the letter in the text box. Can scroll through app choices, have to click on the line with the dots in it and move from page to page. Can't access the settings - > general - > accessibility - because it won't allow me to scroll down to "general".
Anyone help you with your fix yet?

After upgrade to os 4 some apps don't work including Apple Store

Upgrade went ok, but took long time. Some apps don't work correctly or crash. e.g. Apple Store app just recycles back to main screen. Starbucks app works for a few seconds then crashes.

I had same problems.
I decided to "downgrade" back to OS3. You can too!

Some sounds don't work in Logic for me

Hi. I'm running Logic 9 on a 2010 13 inch MacBook Pro 2.4 ghz 4 GB OSX 10.6.7. Logic works perfect for me except that every now and then a few select sounds do not work. In fact, they do not load and cause my Logic to freeze and crash. It is very frustrating because the sounds that do not work are dispersed randomly and I forget which one not to click and then my entire project is lost. I can give you some of the sounds that I know off the top of my head that cause logic to crash: Orchestra>Choir>Chamber Ensemble, Gregorian Ensemble. I noticed this folder around half don't work and then other folders 1 or 2 sounds don't work. I would say that it's only about 1% of the entire library.
I'm pretty sure it is not a memory problem because the files selected are no bigger than other files I select. I thought that the files might have been corrupted somehow, so I actually reinstalled Logic 3 times, but I get the same problem. I downloaded all the updates. I also checked my hard drive and there are no problems with it. My only guess is that somehow the discs I bought did not get manufactured 100% correctly and some files did not get burned on properly. I don't see how only a few select files wouldn't work, but I had bought some blu-rays before where it would freeze at a certain section and I exchanged it for a working copy. Anyone have any leads or suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Richard

Update 2: I just went to the Genius Bar and they gave me a new copy of Logic. I erased and installed my laptop once more just in case and installed Logic Pro. I got the same problem. Deductively, I beleive it's my laptop that is the source of the problem. My laptop is working perfectly fine otherwise though. Any ideas?

Hola, tengo un Ipod classic de 80GB, me he suscrito a algunos podcast y los he pasado a mi Ipod, pero no se cual sea la causa de que ya no veo algunos de ellos desde hace unos dias. Lo que recuerdo es solo haber conectado mi Ipod a la PC y descargar otros podcast. Los podcast que ya tenía no los he borrado de mi Ipod, en la sección de Podcast en Itunes aparecen esos podcast. he tratado de pasarlos nuevamente al Ipod, pero aparentemente hace la transferecia pero no lo veo en mi Ipod. No se si con esto, este duplicandolos.
¿Alguna sugerencia?
Gracias

Satellite A205-S5843: Unknown WLAN card & some buttons don't work

OK one problem im probably get laughed at the other not

I have no idea what a network adapter is.
My first thought is wireless internet because it says it has a wireless card in it but i can only connect to a network and nothing else even in my apartment that has wireless i can only connect to the network...plz help the noob!
Next problem.
Some of my keys will not work... nothing has been spilled on it for i refuse to let any liquid near it for fear of death..

It used to work and now it doesn't one site suggested that i hold the FN key and press the f11 button.
I did and it would work for 5 min or so and then nothing...now the FN don't work and im so confused and angry...this is my college laptop and it really hurts when i have to use the mouse to click the on screen keyboard all the time...plz help

Hi
The A205-S5843 belongs to the US series.
I checked the hardware specifications on the Toshiba US page and it looks like this notebook has been equipped with the Atheros 802.11 b/g wireless-LAN card.
The Atheros Wlan driver can be downloaded from the Toshiba US driver page or from this Toshiba European WLan portal:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
Regarding your keyboard/button issue.
Did you ensure that this is not a software problem?
I mean did you test if the notebooks keyboard/buttons would work using the original preinstalled Toshiba OS image?
In my personal opinion this strange keyboard behavior looks more like more hardware issue as software issue but its worth to check if the new installation would solve your problem
But if you will not notice any improvements then the keyboard should be checked by an authorized service partner.

Dw cs4 -some links don't work, others do. whyyyyyyyyyy??????

My links to "directions" and "gallery" from the home page don't work. But, if you click on "request a quote" at the bottom of the home page, you can link to them from there. I can't figure out why. Also, as you can see my contact page shows up on a google search for "Codiac Printing" but not my index page. How can that be???
Can someone please tell me where I'm going wrong????
http://www.codiacprinting.com/contact.html

andyBall - Thank you so much for the dialog on this issue. I think we have narrowed this down to my router and the openDNS parental control service.
NetGear partners with openDNS. You get a paid OpenDNS account, then the NetGear router downloads a custom generated blacklist/whitelist into the router. You manage the list on the OpenDNS website, then your router pulls down the list and runs the known blacklist/whitelist locally, and then DNS queries go through OpenDNS.
I whitelisted metrics.apple.com and apple.com and everything works in Safari. Remove the whitelist, and it does not work again. OpenDNS also has a bypass application that you can run on the local machine to register your Mac/IP address, and get direct access to the ISP’s DNS bypassing the Netgear routers’s OpenDNS.
It’s funny that all the iOS device in the house work fine on apple.com, all the Firefox installs on PC work fine on apple.com. I even tried changing my Safari user agent settings and still the website version I get from apple.com has these long obscure urls in the default click, but if you right click or turn off JavaScript everything is fine.
I can only assume Apple is serving up some form of website JavaScript to help with website tracking for guest to their website that is specialized for safari. It is most likely that this url link is soooo long it is breaking on my router when it is checking it’s black list, causing the router url check buffer to fail on the router???

Some links don't work in 10.6.5

After upgrading to 10.6.5 I observed that certain links just don't work anymore, f.i. when I click a weblink in my email it should open it automatically in Firefox. Instead nothing happens. I have to manually copy and paste the link into Firefox. Same thing happens within Facebook. It seems as if the system doesn't automatically recognize the browser. Any idea how to fix this? It is annoying!

I have a similar issue on two completely separate Macs since upgrading them to 10.6.5. After a few hours use, links within some web pages, in Safari, will resolve to very random places. For example I click a news article link on the Yahoo home page, and it takes me repeatedly to a monster.com job listing page. Or if I am in Yahoo mail and I clcik Calendar, it takes me right back to yahoo mail and does not open the calendar page. Totally repeatable once this behaviour starts. Tried using Firefox - same exact bugs occur there once this behavior starts.
If I run Cocktail and run the daily, weekly, and monthly scripts, the problem gets instantly fixed, for a few hours, then it eventually comes back. Cocktail always fixes it though.
It appears that some cache, perhaps the whatis or lookup databases, are getting corrupted in 10.6.5, such that links get resolved to the incorrect addresses.
Happens on my MacPro Quadcore i7 as well as a friends MacBook Pro 17, 2009 unibody. BOth started showing this problem on both firefox and safari after the 10.6.5 update.
Help!!!!

[Solved]Keyboard layout screwed up and some keys don't work

After I reinstalled xorg-server 1.5.3-1 and installed xf86-input-evdev 2.0.1-1 and xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1-1 some of my keys don't work and keyboard layout screwed up. I had finnish (fi) layout, but now it's "us". Arrows, insert- delete- home- end- pg up- pg down- print screen- scroll lock- pause- keys don't work. All characters behind Alt Gr + "" don't work either.
How to fix this?

Clean Install of Windows 8 & Some buttons Don't Work

I bought this PC with dead Hard Drive. I installed new Drive and Windows 8 from USB.It only installed as 32bit OS and I know it should have been 64bit. Has 4Gb memory installed.Property screen shows: 4.00GB (2.97GB usable)(32bit OS, x64 Processor). Some of my buttons Don't Work nor does my Microphone. I have tried verifying all drivers but none fix buttons. No errors listed in Device Manager. Any help is Appreciated.

Wow that is so a "Canned" response. Can't install Windows7 on a system that never had 7. This unit was made originally for Vista. And even those do not have drivers I could use. Now if there were device manufacturer information you could give me about my unit then maybe I can get the buttons to work. The most important is the Microphone and Volume/mute buttons that need to work then you could help me.The Dell site will give you an exact biuld list when serial or Tag number is provided which help Identify device manufacturer so user can goto their site to get generic drivers to work with their Dell PC regardless of what version of OS is currently installed.So if you can really help here is the PC Info»HP TouchSmart IQ524 Desktop PC

Mail rules work for some users, don't work for others

Ready to pull my hair out over this one:
Leopard to Snow Leopard upgrade went uneventfully, except for the fact that server-side mail rules (accessed via browser at FQDN -> Mail Rules) work for several users (two, to be exact) and don't for the rest (about 15 or so).
The usual culprits have been reviewed: 'Enable Server-Side Mail Rules' is checked in Mail -> Settings -> Filters, 'Allow users to configure server-side mail rules' is checked in Web -> Sites -> Web Services, users can create vacation notices and email rules without issue via browser, permissions look fine on the contents of /Library/Email Rules and /var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts, logs give no indication of any foul play (at least the Email Rules -> debug.log generates the same entries for both functional and non-functional users), etc.
I have noticed that /var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts contains only two items, which - you guessed it - line up with the GUIDs of the two functional users. Theoretically every user with a rule should be represented here.
As suggested in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11171395&#11171395
I created both a vacation notice and an email rule for several users, thinking that may force the folder creation for those users, but no dice. I even manually created folders for a few users with their GUIDs as the folder names and assigned each user ownership and read/write access. Still nothing. Created a few new test user accounts just to rule out any legacy account weirdness (although it's worth noting that I completely redid the OD and recreated user accounts after the upgrade) and replicated the problem with these, as well. Lastly, used Inspector to compare OD attributes between functional and non-functional accounts, with no glaring differences.
Help!

Did you find an answer? I encounter the same problem on my new MiniServer. Deleted and created all users several times, but just for some accounts mail is working.
Do you have the answer?

After update to itunes 9 video podcast don't work

Hello together,
after updating itunes to vers. 9 my saved video podcast with dhe filetypesMPEG-4 Movie don't run. Also in Quicktime in the filefolder the files cannot be found as a video file. Quicktime itselve says, that it cannot read this filetype. Also after bying the mpeg2 extension , support told me that it have to be reinstalled, the videos don't work. who knows the solution for that?.
Thanks for a feedback

Quicktime itselve says, that it cannot read this filetype.
Hmmm. Launch your QuickTime Player. Now go "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime preferences." Click the file types tab.
Expand "MPEG - MPEG System, video and audio files".
Are "MPEG Media" and "MPEG-4 Media" both currently checked? If not, check them and click okay. Does QuickTime now play the file?

Bluetooth Keyboard - Some key don't work

Hi friends,
I have a 2011 (intel based) 27'' iMac with the bluetooth keyboard. I have two non working keys (control and 1).
There's a way to repair it? My iMac doesn't have warranty and I would like to repair it. What can I do??
Note: I remove the key and see everything fine, but still don't work.
Sorry for my bad english.

Some podcasts don't flow into smart folders

I've noticed that every once and awhile I have to do a COMMAND+I/INFO/Genre and relabel all the podcasts in itunes to be "podcasts". A few years back itunes never required that. For some reasons all podcasts don't automatically flow into the smart folder when podcast is picked as a genre -- so the only thing I can assume is that genre is not reliable anymore as a way to make podcasts flow into a smart folder, especially if the publisher doesn't describe it that way, and instead calls it "business podcast."
-Kate

I have solved the problem! I wanted to document the solution here in case anyone else encounters the same problem. The key is to select all of the podcasts and click "Get Info" (this allows you to change IDL tags for the entire group all at once) and then type in a name for the album. Once the set of podcasts has an album name associated with them, they show up in the "podcast" section on my iPod Touch.
