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

  • 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]].

  • Windows Media Components for Quicktime by Flip4Mac 2.2.2.3

    5-17-09 1 pm Eastern U.S.A.
    Hello to everybody.
    After checking the Flip4Mac Update area, it stated that the version that had been working fine since Nov. 08 was outdated and would I like to update to the newer version 2.2.2.3, I first investigated the System Requirements.
    All looked good.
    I have MAC OS X 10.3.9 and 7.5 Quicktime Pro.
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=915D874D-D747-4180-A400 -5F06B1B5E559&displaylang=en#Requirements
    After downloading and installing, I went to System Preferences to click on the Icon Flip4Mac had placed there the first time last year, which I thought then was really cool, I tried to open Flip4Mac ... System Preferences crashed!
    After investigating the other icons, accounts, security, etc., I relaxed! All worked
    Any ideas?
    Below is the original website.
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx

    Well, I found a temporary fix (while Flip4Mac figures out why they state their updates WILL work correctly with the running systems they say will...10.3.9 and Quicktime Pro 7.5, but don't.)
    FROM FINDER: REMOVE EVERYTHING WINDOWS MEDIA AND FLIP4MAC.
    DO A DISK UTILITY PERMISSIONS REPAIR AND A RESTART.
    GO TO THIS APPLE PAGE: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/flip4macwmvstudiopro.html AND DOWNLOAD 2.1.2.72
    (my old version was 2.1.1.11)
    DO ANOTHER DISK PERMISSIONS AND RESTART.
    ...THEN THOSE WHO HAD A CRASHING SYSTEM PREFERENCES OR BROWSER WITH NO W.M.V.PLAYER AT ALL, HAVE SOMETHING.
    Please note, I did try to put the new 2.2.2.3 over this upgrade 2.1.2.72 from what I had before 2.1.1.11 thinking there sometimes is a "sequence of events" involved,
    but it DID NOT WORK.
    2.2.2.3 DOES NOT WORK.
    I hope that I have helped someone with this post.
    **Please Mr. Klaus, I would rather you not reply to my literature.**
    Thanks and God Bless.

  • HT1926 I keep getting the following message after attempting to download and install the latest update for iTunes: missing MSVCR80.dll.  error 7 (windows error 126)

    I keep getting the following message after attempting to download and install the latest update for iTunes: missing MSVCR80.dll.  error 7 (windows error 126). Anyone else having this issue? How do I get iTunes back in working order?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • Can I download and install 11g release 2 for education purpose?

    The beta is unlikely to have any bugs that would affect a student type usage. The fact that
    it's now in Beta would lead me to believe that the full release is not far away - after all,
    it is the same codebase - they just take things out!
    You can deploy, distribute and even sell your apps developed on XE.

  • I followed the instructions available to download and install the output module for bridge cc but the output module is showing blank.

    I tried the trouble shooting option and it still doesn't work. I have double and triple checked in which "library" I'm working with as well. Please help!

    For installing it please download the package as listed in the below mentioned link and follow the install instructions.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html
    Make sure that you have the most recent version of Bridge CC(6.0.1) installed.
    Please follow the below mentioned steps:
    Copy the Adobe Output Module folder (not the AOM_Package_[OS] folder) into the Bridge CC Extensions folder in the appropriate location as mentioned:
    Windows 64-bit:                Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CC ExtensionsWindows 32-bit:
                   Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CC Extensions
    2.   Copy the AdobeOutputModule.workspace file into the Workspaces folder under the Bridge CC Extensions folder (location as mentioned in Step 1).
    Do let me know if this helps.

  • How long does it take to download and install full feature software for Officejet 4500 g510g-m?

    I have been updating my software in hopes I can get my Officejet 4500 g510g-m to work wirelessly but the full feature software has been at the "installing software" stage for over an hour. Is this normal? Also, anyone know where I can find a step by step guide on setting up my printer for wireless use? Is it even possible?

    The download speed is dependent on many things, but is often a factor of your Internet provider's service.  If you are on basic DSL, then over an hour is not out of line.  If you are on cable, something is wrong.
