Has anyone downloaded windows media player on osx 10.4.7?

and if so have there been any problems or issues?

It is indeed needed on occasion. And it will be until the content producers alter what they are doing. And I don't look for that to happen. I'm just concerned if Flip4Mac will actually be able to fill the void for us Mac users. MS will continue to develop Media Player, and content producers will continue to produce in that format. We can only hope that Flip4Mac or whatever comes next will allow us to continue to view "some" of this Windows Media content.

Cannot download Windows Media Player for Mac.....

On this intel-based mac, i cannot seem to download Windows Media Player, or Flip4Mac components for Quicktime...has anyone found a solution for this problem....although i think Quicktime is a really nice media player, Windows Media Player is used much more frequently and i need it to view videos that Quicktime Player cannot open and that are only available in WMA format..please help me!...

OK here's the deal, you can download www.flip4mac.com and load onto your Intel MBP. First thing to do before launching the flip4mac installer is to go to
Applications-->Utilities - Find the application "Installer" and right click- get info and check box "open using rosetta".
Go back to flip4mac installer and launch. It will now allow you to install onto Intel Mac. Previously, you would get an error not allowing you to install on Intel Macs. Should be gone now. Once installed, you can go back and change the installer back to original. Once flip4mac is installed, find the Safari app in the applications folder and right click- get info and select "open using rosetta". All Windows .wmv files will now play within the browser window and not download to your HD. The sacrifice is the hit in speed you'll take while Safari runs in Rosetta mode. But you can toggle on and off as you need.

Problems with Windows Media Player for OSX and IMAC G5 Intel Duo

I was able to download Windows Media Player 9 for Mac but when I surf on the net and I click on the WMP files, instead of opening automatically, it downloads the content and only then lets me open it.
Also, with live streaming, when I click for the window to open it will say that: "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?".
Except that I already downladed WMP... It worked fine with the PowerPc G5 so it must be the Intel chip. Please help.

Microsoft has abandoned WMP for the Mac and has ceased development. You may wish to consider and alternative!
WMP 9 for Mac is not a Universal binary, so it does not run natively on Intel iMacs. It runs using Rosetta. If the WMP plugin is installed in HD/Library/Internet Plugins/ for it to run usable by Safari you must be using Safari with Rosetta.
I have two versions of Safari, Safari - Uni & Safari - Rose, Uni runs natively and Rose uses Rosetta. To make a Rose version;
1. Right-click Safari and choose Duplicate
2. Rename the copy whatever you like to tell it from the other; ex: Safari - Rose
3. Right-click Safari - Rose and choose Get Info
4. In the top pane of the Info window check the box Run using Rosetta.
You need to use Safari -Rose for websites with WMP multimedia material to get it to play in the browser.
There are also WMP replacements that you can use with Safari such as Flip4Mac and others. Here is a Discussion that covers many of the alternatives;

Download windows media player movies to itunes to ipod

download windows media player movies to itunes to ipod? downloaded music ok

I saw that post... but it doesn't match the screen in Windows Media Player 0. On the Sync tab there is a Start Sync button a Edit Playlist button and Set up Sync button. The 'Set up Sync' button is always disabled.
I can't figure out how to get the playlists downloaded to the Zen Touch. Windows Media Player 0 would be the way to go if I could get the playlists to download.
I have played around over and over with the screens etc... I just can't figure out how to make them download with the Zen Touch anyway... 40 gig, for what it's worth.
If someone has been able to do this with a Zen Touch, I would love to know how to do it.

How do I download Windows Media Player to my Windows 7 - 32 bit laptop?

As the title suggests, I am having a bit of difficulty going to the Microsoft Website and downloading Windows Media Player - version 11 to my Windows 7 Hewlett Packard laptop - the Pavilion dv4. Any suggestions? I do not see WMP in
my list of applications nor is it under the Control Panel in Add/Remove programs. I cannot therefore run the Demos with Microsoft has on using MS-WORD 2007 which is the version that came installed with my laptop in 2011.
Please give me some step by step instructions for finding if I have WMP at all. Second, please tell me how I can then download from Microsoft's site. I really need to learn the ins and outs of Word and I'm used to the prior Word version.
thanks.
Marlund

If you purchased the pc in Europe or South Korea, you may have a Win 7 "N" or "KN" version which does not ship with Windows Media Player. Please see
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/products/what-is-windows-7-n-edition
To check your Windows version see
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/find-which-edition-of-windows-7-you-are-using
To install Windows Media Player on Win 7 N or KN, see
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16546
...and WMP version 12 was released in 2009.

Safari cannot download Windows Media Player

When I try to download Windows Media Player for Mac on my iTouch the message says Safari cannot download it. Is there a solution to this problem?

The answer is in your question. The iPod touch (not iTouch) is not a Mac.
To play Microsoft's proprietary WMV format you need to convert them on your desktop computer to one of the many open standards the iPod touch can play.

Downloading Windows Media Player on Mac

Not sure if this is the right section or not so sorry if it's in the wrong place.
I'm trying to download Windows Media Player but the installer file is a .sitx. I can't figure out how to install it with this. I'm very new to mac so please explain it to me so I can understand it.

You need to download and install Stuffit Expander, available free from Stuffit.com in order to open .sit (Stuffit) files.

Problems downloading Windows Media Player 9

I have a problem! When I go to
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/windowsmediaplayerformacosx.html
to download windows media player 9, then I get the following message:
Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because your computer isn’t connected to the Internet.
Of course I am connected to the internet and can surf all day long, but as soon as I try to download the player (or Flip4Mac, for that matter) I get this error! The connection then is restored fairly quickly, and everything works fine, until I try to download again!! Very strage... Does anybody know what to do?
Thanks!!!
MacPeace

You might want to take this problem up in the Safari forum, since it's not related to QuickTime, per se.
Also, if in the future you have questions about QuickTime, you'll generally get the quickest and most accurate responses if you ask in the QuickTime for Mac forum rather than here in the QuickTime for Windows forum.

Any experience with downloading Windows Media Player on os x 10.4.7?

Have a number of movies made with windows media player and there is a download for macs. Has anyone done this and are there any problems? thanks

Microsoft's own Mactopia website notes that WMP-Mac is no longer supported and directs you to Flip4Mac, which works for playing .wmv files in QuickTime. Rather than use the Flip4Mac link om Mactopia, which leads to an older version, try the VersionTracker link or just go directly to the Flip4Mac WMV Products website.

Can't download Windows Media Player-What else will work?

I get emails with WMV files and I can't open them. Is there a Mac program that will open them or is there a Windows download that will work?

Flip4Mac is the standard now. Windows Media Player for the Mac has, long ago, been abandoned by Microsoft.

Web page music loads in IE but not Firefox. Have downloaded Windows Media Player Firefox plug in but still nothing. Any other suggestions?

Can't get any sound when I open one webpage in Firefox but sound works in Internet Explorer. sound files are .wmv and mp3 format.
I have Windows Media Player Firefox Plug in installed and set to always activiate. Also have Quicktime & Shockwave activated. Any suggestions. Operating system is Windows 7. Thanks

There are a couple issues here that might be the culprit. One is that the player is hidden using a variety of techniques and Firefox often suppresses hidden content because it can be annoying not to be able to control your experience with media. Another possible issue is that the embed tag doesn't specify a content type. Firefox appears to be guessing anyway, and in my case asking whether to activate the QuickTime plugin, but then nothing plays.
To test what would happen if both of those were addressed, you can run this script using Firefox's Web Console. It grabs the address of the media and creates a new embed that is visible and specifies the content type. Here's how to use it:
Select the following long line of code and copy it:
function reEmbedMpeg(em){var el=document.createElement("embed"); el.setAttribute("type","audio/mpeg"); el.setAttribute("src",em.src); el.setAttribute("style","height:20px;width:200px;position:fixed;right:0;top:0"); document.body.appendChild(el);} reEmbedMpeg(document.querySelector("embed"));
When viewing the problem page, press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the Web Console in the lower part of the tab.
Paste the code next to the caret (>>) on the bottom line and press Enter to run it. A player should appear in the upper left corner, the progress bar should show downloading and then the content should play.
Obviously it's not practical to hack every web page you find, but if this is your site or you would be interesting in contacting the owner, hopefully this post will help in getting this working in Firefox.

How do I download Windows Media Player for Mac?

I keep downloading it from the Microsoft website..and...it doesn't work. My husband bought a new MacBook (Leopard) and he's trying to figure out how to look at something on a website that gives him a link to download this. I helped him download Flip4 Mac...Windows Media Player 7.1 for Mac. Quicktime something-or-other. Windows STX 1,2,3 4, 5 and on...and...It still doesn't open. What am I doing wrong?

WMV's player application will work as a standalone application, but the browser plug-in will not work because it is not a universal binary. For that you will need to install Flip4Mac. The last Mac version of WMV is 9.0 and can be downloaded here.You will need an appropriate dearchiver such as Stuffit or The Unarchiver - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Be sure you properly uninstall whatever items you've previously installed. You should quit the browser before installing any of the above.

Downloading Windows Media Player

I've tried several times to download the Windows Media Player, all that ends up on my desk top is a DOC that I cannot open. While it's downloading I do get a warning for authorization to install the program. I'm getting the download directly from the Microsoft website, I've also tried other download sites.

the file extension is .sitx which is a stuffit format. If you download the plain stuffit expander, however, it won't work. It will start up and then quit. there is a bug in the stuffit expander that causes it to shut down when you don't have IPv6 running.
Go to the stuffit site and find the "upgrade" option. You'll have to leave your name and email address like you're upgrading a regular version. Do it anyway. You will get a link for a download of the whole stuffit program. It will install only the stuffit expander on your system unless you have a license for more. THAT version of the expander will work, and you'll be in business.
