Dropbox: I cannot get video to play and cannot share pictures with those who do not have Dropbox installed.

Dropbox: I cannot get video to play and cannot share pictures or video with those who do not have Dropbox installed.
iMAC
I am running OSX 10.6.8
Processor:    3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory:      4GB

To share either select the link (paperclip) icon on the right of the file or folder list.
Cut and paste the link into an email you send your friends. Do not use the "share this" option in Dropbox as it forces them to join.
You can test it after deleting your browser cache and cookies - you will no longer be signed in to Dropbox but the link should work fine.
Hope this helps !

  • HT201317 If I don't want to use photo stream, can I still upload a bunch of photos to iCloud and then share them with people who do not have iCloud?

    If I don't want to use photo stream, can I still upload a bunch of photos to iCloud and then share them with people who do not have iCloud?

    iCloud provides a simple gallery in the form of 'Photo Journal' - uploading of photos from iPhoto to web pages hosted on iCloud, but only from iOS devices; and the photos are compressed to a size adequate for online viewing but are not available in full resolution as with the old MobileMe Gallery. Apple have provided a sample album here.
    There are various other photo gallery services which you may find preferable: some of them are examined here -

    this is my own single computer. I am the administrator and have the password,

    Maybe it is better to wait with updating.

  • HT4972 I cannot download many apps because i do not have iOS installed.

    how do i intall it? i have a 2G ipod touch by the way

    The Apps you probably want require a later iOS than your Device is capable of installing...
    All you can do is replace your device.

  • Getting video to play on my site

    I am trying to get video to play on my site in a way that
    will not require the user to download flash payers or shockwave
    players or anything like that. So far all I am doing is dragging
    and dropping an .mpg file into a cell and letting it play on the
    site in windows media format. This is all fine but I would also
    like to have buttons to the right of the video that when clicked
    will change the video to another clip. How can I get button to
    change the video and is the method I am using a good one or is
    there a better (nicer looking, more user friendly) way of achieving
    this effect?

    Thanks to all for your assistance. My problem was solved by going to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302828 This link was provided to me by someone on these discussion boards. Thanks to everyone for their help!
    Happy 2008!! Problem solved!

    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You're not doing what I told you to do in the last topic regarding this subject. I said to use a server side script to determine if iPhone then h.264 else .flv video. Also I told you that iPhone will not display the QTVR tours. Anyway, regarding your current setup: you already know why the 360 tour doesn't display on the iPhone. There's not a video file located at the referenced URL. http://www.ftworthfoundation.com/excel_Construction_Commercial.m4v
    I haven't looked much at the code other than checking the referenced files since it wasn't my previous recommendation. Perhaps if you fixed the referenced file it may work. Worth a try.
    Also... you have bad code on your site (for lack of a better term). Mixed cases in tags, etc. Check your HTML at http://validator.w3.org and fix any validation errors that you may have and I recommend maintaining lowercase in your html. For example: instead of <a hREF=" use <a href="

  • I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?

    I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?
    Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
    Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
    Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
    You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
    In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
    1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
    2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
    3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

  • Cant get videos to play either on my ipad2 or iphone4s since upgrading to is06

    Cant get videos to play either on my ipad2 or iphone4s since upgrading to is06,please help

    This is usually the result of trying to convert a "muxed" (MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB, some AVI, AVI MJPEG, etc.) source file. QT Pro, QT-like applications, and those that depend on QT tools all suffer this problem. Use an MPEG based third party application to perform your conversions. Many Windows users are using Videora Converter for this purpose. Do a Videora search in this forum for more information.

  • Getting videos to play on my iPad

    Does anyone know how to get videos to play on the iPad? On my iPhone I was able to convert videos files to mp4 and then they would show up in my library. I can not get my iPad to do this. Anyone know how???

    The process is the same but the constraints are slightly different - there are plenty of threads on the subject and as long as the video complies with the specification below, it will transfer. If it isn't transferring then there is something out of spec for that particular video.
    H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
