Downloading and installing move media player

I have been trying to install move media player from abc.com and cwtv.com but neither works for me. Sometimes it will get to the Installing... part and then stop there. Sometimes it will get to the Cleaning Up.... part and then stop there. And other times it will just say cannot install.
I have a macbook: 2.16 GHx Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
I used to be able to watch shows on both until the other day. I did not change anything on my computer when this stopped working. I tried getting rid of all files from the previously downloaded move player. still didn't work.
I'm not sure what to do...

I searched for over 3 months for a solution to this problem and after i found it i had to create an account on here just so I could post a solution that worked for me.
First, one of the things that I discovered in my case was that if I looked in homedirectory/library/ i could not locate the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder. However if i looked in rootdirecotyr/library I was able to locate the folder. I copied this folder to my homedirectory/library folder. I then went to:
http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/espn360/faq
to download the movemedia installer. After that I went to ABC.com and tried to watch one of their "Free Full Episodes" which prompted me to download an update to the plug in I had just installed. After downloading and installing the update I was finally done!!! I hope this helps I know how increadibly frustrating it feels!!

I downloaded and installed Windows Media Player for Firefox, why can I not play games?

I have done everything Firefox has told me, in order to play games. I cannot play games on msn, pogo, etc. The game loads, the screen changes and nothing happens. The screen stays blank.

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, and in most cases the paths are listed in the Windows registry. Firefox 21 changed the location of a "shared" plugin folder so those installers that do not include the path in the registry may strand the plugin in the obsolete location. The solution is in this article: [[Windows Media or other plugins stopped working after Firefox update]].

I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.

I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image". I don't know what this is and I cannot see anything that requires Flash Player. What am I doing wrong?

I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image". I don't know what that is, but I cannot view anything that requires flash player. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help, but that didn't do any good either. I have been double clicking from the download files, double clicking on the "install adobe flash player", closing the anti virus, closing Safari, watching the install progress and clicking finish. It indicates that "flash player" is installed, but every time I try to view something requiring flash player, it tells me I must download it. It shows up in the "system preference" and from there I can make some changes, but it still won't let me view anything requiring "flash player". It does not show up in my apps like Adobe Reader does. It shows up in the "downloaded files" section of "Finder". I'm getting really perplexed over my inability to get this right.

How to install move media player to watch tv shows online.

I cannot install move media player in safari. Please help?

Hi
Not sure you mean "Windows Media Player"? If you do, it's not compatible with Intel based Macs. The alternative is to install 3rd party freeware Flip4Mac. This plug-in converts Windows Media Files to Quicktime.

Downloading and installing windows media components for quicktime

I am relatively new to Mac and haven't really installed much other than Handbrake. I was trying to install windows media components for quicktime or even windows media player for quicktime in order to play .wmv files. However, anytime I click to download something, NOTHING HAPPENS. No download appears, nothing goes to my download stack, nothing installs. Is there something I need to know when attempting to download and install something on my Mac that I may not just know coming over from the dark side of windows?
any help is appreciated

Yes, good advise...Flip4Mac is essential for WMV content. Here's a list of other things you might need for the various formats out there.
VLC
Real Player
Perian
Adobe Flash
Streamclip

Failure to instal Move media player

I go to http://lds.org/move/index.html?type=conference04-2009&event=april179&lang=englis h to load the Move media player - no problem in Leopard.
Snow Leopard no go. Just hangs at last stage of installation. Have uninstalled as suggested in FAQs but same result.

Hi,
the Move Media Player plugin you are trying to install is not compatible with the new 64bit Safari, i.e. you need to run Safari in 32bit mode for it to work.
Right-click (ctrl-click) on the Safari icon in your applications folder (quit Safari first), and choose "Get info" from the menu - tick the box that says "Open in 32 bit"
Restart Safari, and the plugin should now work.
Regards

How can I download and install Adobe Flash Player?

Actually, I think I have downloaded Flash Player 9 (Adobe confirms not only download but installation), but the player does not work. I receive a message "There is no default application specified to open the document "Flash Player.plug.in" in both Safari and Firefox.

Nate;
I am experiencing the same problem. The message I get when I open up a page in Safari is that I need to have shockwave to view this MIME type file. When I choose to select the options given when this message appears, it takes me to the Adobe web site for downloading flash 9. I have tried opening Safari in Rosetta mode with no luck. THis is a recent phenomenon; prior to this I had no trouble viewing MIME files

Can't download and install Adobe Flash Player

I have a new Acer Aspire laptop on Windows 8.1, running the latest Firefox as default browser. On trying to open Al Jazeera in Firefox I get a window that says I need to download Adobe Flash Player:
I click on that and get the Adobe download page:
I click on install now and get the prompt to save install_flashplayer:
I click on save file and then go to my downloads folder and it has the installer icon there:
However when I then double click on it nothing more happens. A window headed Adobe Flash Player Installer with no content appears:
And nothing more happens.
Please advise.

Trouble downloading and installing adobe flash player on Macbook air

When trying to download from Adobe site, it stops mid way for no reason. After cancelling and resuming hundreds of times I get it going again to the end. After that, when I try to run the installation software, I get an error message illegal seek. Does anyone can help me?

You need to close the Safari process, not only the browser window.
If you don't know how to do that, restart your Mac, then run the downloaded installer before doing anything else.

Download and install newest version but still get error - "requires latest version of flash player"

I keep getting a message that something won't work because the latest version of flash player needs to be installed. I go through the download and install for flash player but still get the message. After the install I never get any setup steps. I have tried uninstalling what ever version of flash player is on my computer before the download and install but it doesn't help.
I also tried to delete Adobe photoshop Elements 9 and Adobe Premiere Elements 9 but I could not get it to work. I get a message that "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

Removed your phone numbers as I'm assuming you don't want these posted on a public forum.
Can you try going through the steps outlined in the two faq's below. Also, where you able to go to the Flash Player Version page and see both the animation and flash player version number displayed?

Adobe Media Player doesn't download and save movies properly!

This program seriously sucks as for some reason, it won't let me save the rest of the movies from the Learn Dreamweaver CS4 channel, the Layers.TV channel and the MAX 2008 Design channel after downloading them.
Why can't they have a option on their respective individual video pages to download the files seperately to your hard drive rather than force you to download them using their rubbish so-called Media Player.
As Comic Book Guy would say "Worst.Media.Player.Ever!"

I agree totally. This is an appalling piece of junk. I just downloaded and installed it for my wife to use. She's fifty, interested in cooking, books, music and film. She's not narrow minded or a born again Christian but neither is she especially interested in "hot babes", "bikini models" and all the other objects of USA male adolescent wet dreams.
Nevertheless, to my exasperation, what shows up in the right hand pane at all times, even when one switches to favourites, is the Media Player's Quick Picks. As I write, 12.07 pm, AEST, Friday 16 Jan 09, at the top of the list are three recommendations by a witless wonder known as "guru". In order of recommendation these are: "Sexy Rock Bikini Housewives"; "Bikini Olympics 2008"; "Sexy Gods Girls Model - Swindle". The girls are your usual silicone filled bimbos, with their usual gormless expressions trying to look sexy. I mean please, it's just so damned boring, as much as tacky.
Despite entering my wife's interests (see above) into Adobe Media Manager, it makes no difference. The witless Guru's wonder girls continue to make their lacklustre appearance.
Good one, Adobe. You've really hit rock bottom here, haven't you?

Installed Snow Leopard, and Movie Media Player Won't Work.

My problem is literally as stated. I recently installed the new OS update, Snow Leopard for those few cave dwellers who don't know about it, and the Move Media Plugin doesn't work in Safari. If you go to FOX Network's website, you can watch full episodes of already aired shows. Before the update it worked fine, nd now with the new Safari update and everything else, it won't play large videos.
I have allowed it to use unlimited space, uninstalled and reinstalled it, restarted the computer, and everyhting else I could think of. Anybody have any ideas?
(This is a recurring problem, Move Media Player has had issues with Safari and/or Mac users in the past, but nobody has anything on the latest issue.)

Any plans they would go 64 bit?
Because I tried running a plug in in 32 bit, and after running in Safari in 64 bit for long time, I now realize that 32 bit just *****, it's horrible, it's too unstable, period. I'm NEVER running it in 32 bit again.
Any hacks to get 32 bit plug in to work in 64 bit environment?
I know they rely on Input manager, but that's the problem!
Many developers are hoping for an API that works, when in reality, it's over. Apple killed Input Manager and there is no plan to release a successor plug in. It's up to the developers to now find their own way to write a code that works just like Input Manager, and it's actually really easy.

Move Media Player for MAC - ABC and FOX TV

I have followed all the instructions from a post a while back, but I have had no luck in downloading the Move Media Player so that I can watch ABC and FOX online. Can you please give me some assistance? I have updated all the drivers, flash players, and unblocked popups, etc. I am running Tiger 10.4.11 -- I don't see any reason that it shouldn't be working. I have been working on this for 2 weeks now. Please help!

Corey,
Which browser are you using?
I went to the link Klaus1 provided and tried my best to click where it says: FAQ's and it won't let me. However, I did a View Source to make sure which plug in it requires, and it does say Flash version 9.
Corey... do this... in Safari click where it says Help in the Menu then click Installed Plug-ins. When the list populates, press Command + F on your keyboard. That will prompt a search field top right just under your Bookmarks. Type in Shockwave Flash and see what the response is. It should say:
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 — from file “Flash Player.plugin”.
If you still can't view video on FOX or ABC, try UNinstalling the application, here are the instructions to do so: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2
Make sure whenever you install or uninstall software, that all your other open applications are closed.
Then use this link that Klaus1 provided and reinstall:

Got my fingers crossed!
Carolyn
