Getting WMP plug-in to work

I installed Windows Media Player on my newly-purchased iMac Intel Core Duo to be able to view multimedia clips from CNN/Pipeline and listen to audio online from XM and Sirius. When I go those websites and start to try to run the clips I get the following pop-up: "Safari can't display content on this page. Some content on this page requires an Internet plug-in that Safari doesn't support. The application "Windows Media Player" may be able to display this content. Would you like to try" When I click to continue, with CNN WMP will come up in a separate window and nothing happens. Eventually another pop-up comes saying "Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again." I can successfully play the sample .wmv file that came with the player application. Any suggestions as to what I need to do?? My version of Safari is 2.0.3.

Windows Media Player is not a Universal binary, only
PPC based. Hence, unless you are running Safari in
Rosetta mode, you will not be able to play WMP
content through Safari.
Flip4Mac
is soon
to be Universal, which will allow you to play
WMP content natively through Safari.
After doing some additional research I came to the same conclusion you mentioned. I'm resolved to having to wait for Flip4Mac to come out in Universal. WMP works great on my son's eMac running Panther, so I have another computer I can use for viewing WMP-based content.

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

    Should have purchased XI. According to Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications you will need Acrobat 11.0.1 -and- to be running the 32-bit Visio.

  • HT1338 Java Plug in not working?

    I have re-installed java several times and can not get the plug in to work.  So frustrating.

    Hi mommaduckof2,
    Have you tried downloading this Java update?   Hopefully it will help ....
    Java for OS X 2013-003
    The article below explains what this update does:
    About Java for OS X 2013-003
    This release updates the Apple-provided system Java SE 6 to version 1.6.0_45 and is for OS X versions 10.7 or later.
    This update uninstalls the Apple-provided Java applet plug-in from all web browsers. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled "Missing plug-in" to go download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle.
    This update also removes the Java Preferences application, which is no longer required to configure applet settings.
    Cheers,
    Judy

  • How do I get a browser plug-in to work if it isn't compatible with my version of Mozilla

    I have McAfee Site Advisor installed which as far as I know is a browser plug-in and I keep on getting prompts to update to Firefox 6. However I noticed that when I tried to update, my site advisor wont work this this version and so for this reason I haven't updated. Can anyone tell me if there is a way of making the above mentioned plug-in to work, as this is one plug-in I rely on and don't want to do without.

    Chrome uses a different and separate plug-in.
    There are things about IE you need to know, especially 11. Specifically:
    "User-Agent Strings"
    That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
    Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
    The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
    Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess they've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
    They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

    How do I get my plug ins (Nik and Topaz) to work on Photoshop Creative Cloud?

    Contact the makers of your third party plugins and see if they have updates that work correctly with Photoshop CC 2014.
    Also, make sure you ran the installers for the plugins instead of just copying them, since you may be missing necessary support files for the plugins.

  • I can't get Nik or onOne Plug ins to work in CS5

    I use Color Efex,Silver Efex Pro,on One Plug in Suite 5, and Snap Art Plug ins.  I can't get any of them to work in CS5.  I will try 32 bit mode but CS5 doesn't even list them in the available plug  ins.  I can use CS4 but what should I do?  Wait for the vendors to update their plugins or is Adobe going to give me a list of available plugin that work with CS5.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong in the installation process.  I copied all the plug ins to the CS5 plug in folder and I tried reinstalling the applications from their original CD.  Nothing works.

    This is known. Please see: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/842/cpsid_84212.html for this specific issue. For more data on plug-in changes with Photoshop CS5, please see: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82824.html.

    With CS6 you have to pay extra for these plugins.
    With the CC you can download different ME versions to add their functionality.

  • WMP plug-in does not working on Mozilla Firefox 4.0 on Win 7 as it was working on 3.6

    on Mozilla Firefox 3.6 the above mentioned plug in was working on Windows 7. After updating to Mozilla Firefox 4.0 the plug-in does not working so i cannot hear some web radio stations e.g. www.melodia.gr

    I solved this by turning off tamper protection in NAV 2010. The Firefox immedately updated. I understand virus scanners/anti spyware program like spybot and SpySweeper can interfere with updates. Also Comodo AV. It seems to me that nything that protects over all system setting is worth looking at.
    I am not an expert. Do not forget to turn back on anything turned off to allow update'''

    Sign in to iTunes Store (on desktop itunes) with your ID. Plug your iphone to itunes, right click on it and choose transfer purchases.Right click again and choose backup. Then you can sync with iTunes.
