Downloaded wmv file appears as _html and cannot play in quicktime

I downloaded a wmv file via safari. After download it appeared as _html. I renamed it with .wmv file and tried to play the file. Quicktime launches and then message shows up "this is not a movie file". I also browsed through various discussion forums, downloaded FLIP4MAC but no luck. It is frustrating as this is the first time i encountered this issue. Is there any way i can play that movie file.

I have the kindle app on my iPad. I downloaded a kindle version of a songbook. I would like to print out a few pages of the music. I cannot download the file to my computer and cannot print from the iPad as the page format does not allow it.

How can I print out a few pages of a kindle ebook (music) from my iPad.
How can I download this book to my iMac from the iPad. It is NOT in my e books library, but I can only access it from my kindle app.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

One work around is, if the Kindle app allows, make a screen cap of the page and print that.
Hold down the sleep and home keys and relase them together....kinda like you'd press the shutter of a camera, a joint quick down and up
You'll see a white flash and hear a shutter sound. Then look in your photos app and you'll see the images. You can print them just like you'd print a photo.

ITunes worked fine on my Windows 7 machine. Had to rebuild the machine but all the data remains. Downloaded a new version of iTunes and cannot figure out how to load all of my music currently on my hard drive. Tried moving "iTunes Library" file. Did not work. Never had trouble like this before.

Many thanks for your post. I've been trying for days to get this sorted and was getting well fed up with I-Tunes. Really thought i'd never get it working again. Tried un-installing it, loading older versions and they still wouldn't work.
Came across your suggestion by chance and top man - it worked..!!!!
How you even knew what to do is beyond me - but thanks so much. I really was pulling my hair out.
You need to put your post over the Web as there seem to be loads of people having the same trouble.
Thanks again.

The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used

I am trying to restore files from an NT back up on a SBS 2003. The backup was taken on this machine and trying to restore to the same. I get this error: The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used.
I tried copying it to a different machine with no luck. Any suggestions?
Robert

Hi,
Since the backup file cannot be restored on a different machine, the backup file could be corrupt. You need to use some third party recovery utilities to restore the backup file.
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

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 Mavericks 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 from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 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 Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         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.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. 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.
This, Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.70, is the current version of Flash. It should work with Snow Leopard or later.

Follow the steps to identify the video and audio

I originally downloaded a movie to my iPad and it plays fine, however, it won't play on my iMac even though it downloaded. I can watch the iTunes extras but the movie won't play....

What happens you try to play it?
It syncs to the iPod okay?
Does it play okay in iTunes?

I have upgraded my iPad software to 7.02 and cannot play any media. Gutted.

I have upgraded my iPad software to 7.02 and cannot play any media: podcasts , music or videos. Gutted as I am a month holiday in Indonesia. Tidied to contact apple but you cat e mail them. Waited an hour for a support chat session but nothing. Far from what I expected from apple.

What happens when you attempt to play such media? Do you get some error messages or does the app crash, or does something else happen?
Did you update to iOS 7 while away from home or before you left?
Did you do an over the air update or via iTunes? If it was over the air I'd be interested in knowing how much available space you had on your iPad before you did the upgrade.

Downloaded WMV files not showing video

When receive an email with a .wmv file, it appears to download correctly. When I attempt to play the file, the normal controls appear at the bottom...but I get no video, only a black screen. I can hear the audio playing, and it shows the meter below with the time remaining and time elapsed for the video. Does anyone know the fix so I can see the video?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks

WMV files will not play on a Blackberry (different format). You'll have to download to your PC, convert to another method (AVI, MP4) and then upload to your Blackberry.

Trouble with converting downloaded .wmv file

Hi there, when I tried to repeat the process on a film that I bought and downloaded to my pc today (.wmv file). The free software I tried refuses to read it. I am going on holiday tomorrow and I wanted to have some films to watch. PLEASE HELP !!!!

Do you mean Amazon Instant Videos? They are DRM protected and cannot be transferred or played on other computer or portable devices without authorization. Don’t worry, try this DRM removal too – Pavtube ChewTune, I used it for converting my iTunes DRM movies for quite a long time, and it worked like a charm.

Strange Files Appear on Desktop and I Have No Idea Why or What They Do.

Hello all,
For the past long while strange '.part' and '.pdf' files started appearing on my desktop and I have no idea why, how, or what they do/are for!
The files are just random strings of letters and numbers sometimes ending in .pdf, sometimes .part, sometimes both. Here is an example:
J0f0IS2p.jpg.part
qtz0MxdS.ai.part
_Z8WxpbN.pdf.part
My uniformed guess thinks it has something to do with Firefox and when I download something. I recently downloaded an Adobe Illustrator file from my email, and 'qtz0MxdS.ai.part' appeared on my desktop. it has an '.ai' in it. The '.pdf' files, I think, appear when I download .pdfs using Firefox.
Does anyone know why this happens and how I can stop it? I dont think/hope its not a serious issue or bug but it does get tedious deleting all these weird files. Thanks for your time!!
Best,
-Reid

They occur when a Web-browser like firefox is the downloading a file. Some Web browsers download files with a different name than change to the real name when the download completes. having these funny names on your desktop means that the download did not complete or the download is presently occurring.
In firefox as you can press: command-j to see downloaded manager

Downloaded pdf files open in wordpad and cant be read

after downloading some files they open up in wordpad and cant be read.they appear as some kind of code.this happens with both text and photo files.i cant seem to find another application to try open them in.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Wordpad can't open pdf files properly, you need pdf reader and the most popular is Adobe reader. Please download from the following link and install to your computer:
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
(Please don't tick add-in).
Windows 8.1 actually comes with a reader but it's not good enough.
Regards.
