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

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!!

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.

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 plug In

We've purchased (updgraded from snow leapord) a mac osx x v10.7 lion and have been having issues with installing our kids leap frog application. We've followed every step from the tech support gurus at leapfrog customer support and nothing works. We've unstalled, re-installed and deleted our move media player plug in. Anyone having or had this issue? Need a resolution as mhy 3 year olds Leapster 2 and Tag Reader need to be updated before she wakes up from her nap!

Turning off plugins lets me into Apple.com. Here is the report:

Move Media Player for Mac

I want to be able to watch full TV episodes at ABC.com, but it keeps telling me I need to install the Move Media Player.
I follow the instructions they have for Mac users, and click the "Install Now" button. I allow my computer to trust the website, and when the loading is complete, nothing happens.
I've tried to download this several different ways.
Is it even possible to download the Move Player onto a Mac?

I went to ABC.com and everything worked fine, although as I am not in US I could not watch full episodes, just trailers etc, which all worked well.
I don't know 'Move Media Player' (spelling?) but:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

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:
http://dynamic.abc.go.com/streaming/check?aff=
Got my fingers crossed!

Xfinity / Move Media Player

I'm currently trying to view my Comcast on-demand content on my Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard 10.6.5). When I attempt to watch a movie or show, I'm prompted to download the Xfinity media player. When I click install, the progress bar moves as if something is happening, but once it gets to the end, it just hangs. I've also tried downloading the dmg file directly for the player. When I install that, I receive this error code:
Move-Media-Player 071706000001 Installer
An error occurred executing script "fs_install.command". Error = 256
I've brought this issue to Comcast "support" on three different tries with no luck.
I have the latest version of Flash player installed and I have tried Safari (32-bit mode per Move's instructions), Firefox, and Chrome and none work. Are there any Comcast customers who have gotten this to work on Snow Leopard?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I went to the Comcast site and attempted to watch a show. For me on my Mac Pro it worked flawlessly.
Could you provide more details about your network?

I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and have installed Windows Media Player 1.0.0.8 for Firefox. However, if I attempt to open a file with a .wmv extension it appears to function properly, except, that I cannot "play" the file. What am I doing wrong?

You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

Installed windows media player but still cannot play some files

I've installed windows media player for mac but some sites still ask me to download, have you encountered the same problem before?

Most sites require Windows media player version 10 or 11. The latest version available for mac is version 9. So are still not able to play the content.
An alternative is to download Flip4Mac from http://www.flip4mac.com
I have downloaded and installed this software and found that it serves as a good substitute.

Can't open .bin file (trying to install windows media player)

I'm trying to install windows media player on my brand new macbook pro. I downloaded the .bin file and have installed Stuffit Expander. When i try to open the .bin file, stuffit opens to the progress window and tells me that its preparing but nothing happens. it just freezes on me. i've openeother .bin files with no problem. How can I open this .bin file?
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I hope you are aware that the Windows Media Player plug-in will not work with Safari because it's not a universal binary. Furthermore, WMP is no longer supported by Microsoft for the Mac. Instead you should download and install Flip4Mac (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.)
Although the WMP plug-in for Safari will not work on an Intel Mac, the player will work fine through the Rosetta emulator. If you are insistent upon using WMP with Safari, then after you install WMP and the plug-in, select Safari's application icon, press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Check the option "Open using Rosetta." This will force Safari to run as a PPC app.
If Stuffit Expander will not open the .bin archive then check to be sure you are using the current version of it. If you continue having problems then try using TheUnarchiver instead (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.) It's also possible you have a defective download.

Installing windows media player on my ibook G4

I have on several occasions now attempted to download and install wmp on my ibook (only because some radio stations need it to work) and I get as far as downloading it either to the desktop or in a folder in the documents section, then when I click on the icon in order to install it nothing happens only the itunes start up - but there is no mention of windows media player wherever I look. I know it's probably something really obvious but for the life of me I can't work it out. I hope someone out there can - they usually do.
thanks in advance

Windows media player 9 is still available and downloadable for mac, there's just no updates. Flip4mac is a terrible piece of software in my experience.
Do you have Aladdin Stuffit Expander installed? It sounds like you're missing that to expand the download file. Once you have installed Windows media player, then Safari will use it automatically [which is highly recommended as myself and plenty others have found the other to be impossible to use].
Here's the link and down at the bottom of the page you'll find the instructions with the link to Stuffit expander.

Installing windows media player 9

I trying installing windows media player 9 but it will not install after the downloading
Any ideas or help

As mentioned, F4M is a better alternative to WMP since Microsoft is no longer updating WMP for Macs.
For everyday use, F4M is great. If you run into any files that won't play with it, I suggest you take a look at VLC. It is a great program to have around since it plays just about anything you will run into.

CS4 hangs while installing Adobe Media Player

I am installing CS4 Design Premium on a MacBook. I can get past selecting what to install and when clicking install it does start to install the program. However, when it starts to install adobe media player it just hangs there. I have left it over night just in case this app takes a long time, but no luck in doing that.
Any suggestions? I would highly appreciate it.

Install Windows Media Player with GPO

Hello,
I want to install Windows Media Player on multiple machines by using a GPO. Anyone who knows how to do this? Because I have little experience doing this. but figured this should be pretty easy. Any other way is appreciated, as long as it is managable.
Thanks in advance.
