Downloading Flip4mac and Mac OS X Update to read .wmv files

G'day,
I'm completely new to macs-just got a macbook pro. I have downloaded flip4mac to view .wmv files. This required an update (due to not being intel processor compliant I think) so I downlaoded Mac OS X Update (Intel). When I download this I get the message "This volume does not meet the requirements for this update"
What should I do to overcome the download problem or is there an easier way to view .wmv files?
Thanks
Macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Flip4Mac doesn't yet work on Intel, it's not an issue with the MacOS X update. If you need to view .wmv files, you can still use Windows Media Player 9
As for the update... Are you really still on OS 10.4.5? If so, which update did you download? To go from 10.4.5 to the current version, 10.4.7, you need to download the Mac OS X Update 10.4.7 Combo Intel. The best (most convenient) way to update Apple software is usually with Software Update in the Apple menu. It will automatically select the proper version to bring you up-to-date on all your Apple software.

I have a Nikon P7700. Only some of the images will download ?and others say that Iphoto cannot read the files. I need raw images fo print.

I have a Nikon P7700. I can download some of the images. The same set of images will not download so I can send 300dpi images for print. I am new to figuring this out. Please help?

Does your MacBook Air run a reasonably current Operating System (OS X 10.8.5 or later - the current version is 10.9.2)? Are you running a reasonably current version of iPhoto (9.4.3 or later - the current version is 9.5.1)?
If so, you can download this RAW compatibility update from mid-January. It supports your camera.

Downloaded Flip4Mac and still can't get WMV file online to play - help!!

I downloaded Flip4Mac and still can't get this WMV file (http://www.bis.doc.gov/asfroot/snapr-webinar-12-19-2007.wmv) to play - no sound and no video. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

MSS2 is Windows Media Video Screen codec which, as noted, does not play on Mac with Flip4Mac or anything else I know of. You'll also fine Windows Media Video Image and those coming from PhotoStory won't play on Mac at all either. Not even the ancient WMP9Mac will play those.

Hello. My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files. Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????? I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9

My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files.Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????/ I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9
Please help me!!!!

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

What type of Internet connection do you have? How fast is it?

I am not 100% sure this is the issue, but I saw a different thread about the ATI Radeon HD 2600 not being OpenCL compatible for another program and that a newer compatible graphics card would be required to solve the problem. I am getting the same message with my 2007 iMac 24".

Download failed and receive the following message: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

I went to Purchases and it worked from there having had the same problem you describe.

How do I read wmv files on my mac

how do i read wmv files on my mac. Is there a safe/secure download i can use

Use the free version of Flip4Mac. If those WMV files contain DRM, you don't.

Unable to Open .pdf and not allowed to update the Reader

I work for a State Agency that sends out .pdfs created with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to other State Agencies as an email attachment.
We put security on the .pdf allowing only printing of the document.
We have been doing this for years with no problems; however, we recently added a new branch of agencies to receive them. Many of these agencies are unable to open the .pdf.
I suggested they update to the Reader X, but they say they are unable to update the Reader because, "Our IT department does not have the capability to upgrade my adobe without it affecting the daily operation of my case management system." Apparently, they have lots of forms that they will be unable to use if they upgrade.
So, my question is: Is there some other way the agencies can view and print the .pdf we are sending to them?
Thank you so much for your help!

That could be enough.
Some email systems use encoding on files to make the transfer a little faster. When they are decoded at the receiving end, they can become corrupt.
One way to test if this is the issue would be to Zip the file first, email it, and see if they can unZip the file and open it. If that works, then encoding is the problem. Not sure what can be done about that other than to Zip all files or post the files to a server and send them a link.
I also seem to remember a conversation a long time ago about some newer files not being readable in Reader 5 and it tossed up that same error message but unfortunately, I'm depending on memory for that one and can't seem to find that old thread.
But try a testing a Zip file and see if that works first.

How do I enter text onto a PDF and have it automatically update in an Indesign file?

I am trying to enter text into an application form and then include the updated application into an extended indesign file. I would like to be able to change elements of the application, which would then automatically update in the Indesign file. I am having trouble doing this.

I received an application in PDF and want to fill it out with my personal text, but I would also like to include supplemental documents with the application and thus have placed the PDF and the other documents it into an Indesign file. If I were to change some portion of the personal text in the PDF, it would be great if it could automatically update in the Indesign file. How else would you suggest I go about doing this?
Thanks!

How to get iTunes and Mac OS 10.5 to leave my file organization alone

I’ve organized my MP3 files for iTunes (using Mac OS 10.5.6) on a MacBook Pro. I did this manually since I have over 600 folders and thousands of song files. iTunes had created a mess. For example some albums were split up into different artists, composers or album names. Some files names began with a space or a dash, so they were our of alphabetical order. There were all kinds of nonsence with duplicated files etc. Once I got things all cleaned up and orderly I tried to make a backup of the master list by copying the files to a peripheral hard drive. The backup folders instantly reverted and even compounded the chaos that I had just fixed! If I delete all files from iTunes and reimport I end up with the same mess. How can I get iTunes and Mac OS 10.5 to leave my organization the way I want it and not revert to the old mess?

I don't understand.
If you uncheck *Copy files to iTunes music folder...* and *Keep iTunes music folder organized*, iTunes will not mess with the files unless you are RIPping them from CD using iTunes.
How do I change the tags so they are organized the way I want.
I don't know how you want them organized.
iTunes uses the tags and puts them into Artist/Album folders based on the ID3 tags.
If you are not using iTunes to organize stuff and simply naming things as you want, tags are irrelevant to how you put the files into folders and what you name the files.
When I copy the master list (with my organization) from one peripheral drive to another the files show up with the old names and folders.
Okay.

ODI and Essbase in different server to read the file error

Hi,
I have ODI and Essbase installed in different server.
I have created an interface to execute a calc script on top of an essbase cube. I kept the Caclscript.csc file in one folder in ODI server and provide the path
EXTRACTION_QUERY_FILE parameter is the path of the .csc file i placed in ODI server. it executed successfully to generate the extract file using the calc script in the specified path on Essbase server.
Now i want to read that file and load it to a relational table so map the network drive from ODI server to Essbase server where the file has been generated and provided the EXTRACT_DATA_FILE_IN_CALC_SCRIPT parameter as the Network drive path but ODI is unable to read the file.
any other option to read the file reside in essbase server and load it to relational table.
com.hyperion.odi.essbase.ODIEssbaseException: com.hyperion.odi.essbase.ODIEssbaseException: Error occured while reading the data file produced by calculation script.
-KP

I would install an ODIAgent on the Essabse server and use this agent when running this particular operation

Mainstage 2.2.1 and MAC OSX Lion update 10.7.4 CRASH!

hello there.
I'm dealing with an issue with mainstage and the last update from apple's OS, 10.7.4. The mainstage software (witch is intended for live - and steady - use) is crashing often after the OS update. I'm a professional musician and last night a had the third gig in a row with several problems with my setup. Mainstage starts behaving very strangely, a white intermitent bar appears in both sides of the section with the CPU usage and other infos in the top of the edit window. Then i suddenly can't change preset nor patches. the octaves are wrong and the sounds too. then comes the "rolling ball of mac" anouncing something really wrong. After the first time it happened and mainstage crash until closed, i managed to reopen it in the middle of the gigs... it was very stressing and frustrating.
before the last show, yesterday, I searched for answers in forums and here I found that maybe installing the update from appstore would end this issues. so I did, even being an owner of the logic bundle witch came with mainstage, and paid 29 dollars for the software again. the install was alright but the problems remain (actually it was the worst scenario in a gig for me ever...)
PLEASE HELP! i'm a recent user of the mac system, i have late 2009 macbook pro with mainstage 2.2.1 running mac OSX 10.7.4.
I cant afford having this kind of issues in the middle of my job! this become a real problem for me!
in case anyone would ask, NO, i haven't made a time machine backup in order to roll back the OS. my bad.
thanks,
piero

Its disconcerting to say the least to see that last post by SmithBurg was one year ago. Disconcerting because there didnt appear to be a clear cut solution to an issue that seems to be happening to many users in that for whatever user's MS setups were doing at the time, the end result is that the program quits "unexpectantly" during a show.
I had been using MS originally on a late 2009 MB pro, and as my patches evolved, I started having several issues which would quit MS.
I did find what seemed to be a solution by reinstalling the OS to 10.6.8, and and new "unclogged" system seemed to fix the issue. HOWEVER....a few months later and it "quit unexpectantly" in the middle of a show, or I couldnt get my focusrite scarlet 8i6 inteface to work in preferences...(had to use the MB pro minijack out!!   Which was very noisy with the power supply and I do NEED the power supply for a 4 hour show (that old banana)
I digress......
So, i think my laptop has had its day with all the issues id been having, and I go out 2 months ago and buy Apple's flagship macbook pro for $4200, with the idea that the ultra high specs of the laptop should do the trick.
MS reinstalled....I dont use 3rd party plugs as im content with MS sounds, (although i did install kontact to try out and it was far too memory intensive, so dont actually use it.
So for 1 month I play various shows with no issues. I have not changes the setup at all EXCEPT adding one patch that I made.
Then one gig last month it happens again. I'm flabbergasted now.      "MS quit unexpectantly" but I DONT have wi-fi connected at the random venue, and CANT send apple the error report.
My only choice is to reboot and attempt to get the flow of the show back up again.   Thus loosing the error report.
I NEED a solution, and I cant understand what the error report is even saying.
SPENDING $4200 on a new laptop, and if i had hair, I'd be pulliing it out.SHOULD I HAVE GONE HARDWARE INSTEAD? I know MS now, SO used to it, and i love MS far too much if only it worked for more than 5 seconds.
PLEASE APPLE HELPPPPPPPP!
or any kind users out there with some kinda fault finding knowledge

Got a ipod touch, downloaded itunes and it said to update the software to 5.0.1, now when restoring the ipod - itunes doesnt recongize the device and giving me error 1611... any suggestion

help

Here's what the article iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting says about your error:
Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.
