Even with Apple Quick Time 7.7 I cannot open, much less play, any wmv files.  It gives me only the code behind the file, never the video. What's going on?

I never have been able to open wmv files/attachments with the Apple Quick Time player I've got on this MacBook Pro.  A click on any wmv file leads me only to Text/Edit and all the code behind the file.  What is going on?  I have Quick Time 7.7 (1680.25).

Those are Windows Media files, and they're not supported natively in any version of QuickTime. You can view them in some third-party applications, such as VideoLAN Client, or you can install the Flip4Mac QuickTime component which makes them playable in QT Player.

  • How do I fix a problem with Apple Quick Time?

    I had Apple Quick Time installed but uninstalled it by accident. From looking at my profile in Mozilla, I seem to have 7 versions of Quick Time all with the same version number.
    Should I uninstall all of the versions and start over?
    I am currently unable to view any videos using Mozilla. When I use another browser, Quick Time runs fine.

    Hi,
    You can try deleting the pluginreg.dat file in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder] after exiting Firefox. You can also open the profile folder via Firefox '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Show Folder'''.
    You can also try to '''Disable''' all the versions except the one working version in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Plugins'''.

  • I followed everything I need to do to enable my Apple ID account multiple times. Yet I still am not able to purchase anything. Not even with apple credits I have already stored in my account. Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong.

    I followed everything I need to do to enable my Apple ID account multiple times. Yet I still am not able to purchase anything. Not even with apple credits I have already stored in my account. Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong?

    What happens when you try to buy something ? If you are still getting the disabled message then since resetting your password have you logged out of your account on your device (by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store) or computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logged back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it ?
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

    Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • How do I convert .m4v to Apple Quick-Time 5, 6, and 7 (.mov, .qt)

    how do I convert .m4v to Apple Quick-Time 5, 6, and 7 (.mov, .qt)??  Thanks!

    I once had a problem with a media player not handling .m4v files correctly. Simply changing the extension to .mov fixed the problem. Just delete the "4" and replace it with an "o". Ignore the warning that may appear regarding changing the file type - in fact it's preferable that you make a copy of the .m4v file beforehand.
    There's no guarantee that this will help with your particular issue, but worth a try!

  • Apple Quick Time is Loading, loading, loading and never complets

    I loaded Apple Quick Time that came with my iPod. When I click on the short cut it begins loading and never completes. It just remains in a loading state. Any ideas?

    hmmmm. is that a QuickTime 7.0.x, Dumo?
    if so, it might be worth upgrading to 7.1 or 7.1.3. see:

  • Firewire drives not recognized on iMac even with Apple cable adaptor

    Got new iMac.  All my files are on Firewire 800 external hard drives.  iMac won't recognize  Firewire drives even with Apple cable adaptor so cannot access old files.

    I suspect a power issue, are these drives Bus powered or do they have AC power?
    Not that AC power hasn't failed also...

  • Just downloaded Firefox 6.0 and have restarted 4 plus times, but it continues to hang while launching. I cannot open new windows, change any settings, or do anything but Force Quit. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8. How do I get past this hang?

    Long story short: Simply get CC for teams. At 500 bucks a year it's a steal and those 5 licenses in the base package (or was it 10 even?) cover all your computers, at least the 3 ones you mentioned. For system requirements refer to the individual product pages.

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    If nothing above has helped, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

    I cannot open my ipad 2 after update to ios 7..only the apple logo keeps on displaying..please help..

    Power-cycling or connecting to iTunes didn't fix the issue.  However the iPad did restart, trying to install the update but it didn't complete and received a error once again.  And now the iPad is stuck on the update screen with the progression bar beneath the apple.
    The error reads, "The iPad could not be updated.  An unknown error occurred (6)."

    What is wrong with the code and is it affecting the website?

    Line 107 looks dodgy to me and it won't have any effect on your code.  However, it is a good idea to post a complete link to your CSS for us to see it in full and to validate it using external tools.  In fact, you could validate the CSS (and HTML) yourself..
