Have Flip4mac but unable to open some video links
I have had my iMac since mid-06 and this is the first time I haven't been able to watch a video link online. I'm wondering if anyone can figure out why I can't watch video on www.chicagotribune.com.
The Tribune site suggests that I download Windows Media Player 9 for Mac, but from previous posts on these discussions I note that this is not supported anymore and although I could download it I'm not sure it is necessary or advisable?
I'd appreciate any clarification anyone could offer... I was under the impression that Flip4mac would cover all Windows media files, but maybe not?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply David. I tried all you suggested - reset safari cache, repaired permissions (nothing needed repairing) and reset the PRAM - still no change with the issue though.
Specifically I am having problems viewing video on the Tribune website from this page:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/custom/video/
Any of the video links on that page request that I download WMP 9 for Mac to play them.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/stv-video-mactrouble,0,6341022.htmlstory
Some of the video links that are 'embedded' (not sure of the right term) in a web page on the Tribune site play fine for me though and I have not had any problems playing video from any other site.
This might be a moot point but is there any use in me downloading WMP 9 for Mac. Will it work well on an Intel Mac or should I not bother with it?

Last time I updated pages I lost features I liked and was unable to open some pages files. Now I see the features I liked are back but I have a lot more files to worry about. Will I be able to open files created in 5.2 if I upgrade to 5.5.3?
Within reason, Pages v5.2 documents are forwards compatible with Pages v5.5.3. Apple introduced the single file format document as a default with Pages v5.5.3 which is not backwards compatible with Pages v5 on Mavericks.
However, they also provided a File > Advanced > Change File Type > {Single File, Package} menu that allows you to change the current Pages v5.5.3 document into the backwards compatible Package type document. You would follow this transformation with a File > Save operation to complete it. -
just bought macbook pro and want to download purchases I have already made from itunes apps but when it says downloaded can't find it. I have run a search and found it in my mac but unable to open or do anything?? Do not understand what is happening.

so how do I get the same apps for my macbook pro? or is that not possible?
Not sure if that same Application is designed for Mac Os x, Search for Applications on App Store instead of iTunes on your Macbook Pro, as Applications available on iTunes Store on a Macbook is designed to work only on iOS Device like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and whatever is available on App Store on Mac is designed for Mac Os x. -
I have Adobe reader installed. However, I am unable to open some files because it is asking for Adobe's approval to open the files. How do I do this please?
That message is NOT from Adobe, and has nothing to do with Adobe's approval for anything.
Quite the opposite: Adobe Reader is NOT YET RUNNING, Adobe aren't involved. Some other app or program is putting out that message. Have you tried giving that permission? -
i have acquired windows office 2011 for my macbook but unable to open it. There are currently 3 files in the folder, 1 of which seems to be the actual program which is a hfs file. iv tried looking for programs to help me open it but failed.
when double clicking on the image it says unable to open and gives me the option to search the app store.
any help would be much appreciated
AdamWell, first, just make sure it's the Mac version and not the Windows version (which indeed would not run on your Mac). You say "Windows Office" which is why I mention it. I think you probably just mean "Microsoft Office" though.
Next, is this on a disk (DVD), or did you purchase and download it from the Microsoft site?

Cruz Android but unable to open epub books.
Usually when you uninstall/reinstall you are given the option to retain all your settings including add-ons. If you can't get started, though, I really can't help any further.
As a long shot you could try opening Firefox from your Start Menu or Programs folder. If that works, you should create a new Firefox icon. Drag your Firefox from the Start Menu to the Desktop(it doesn't actually move) and it will offer you the option of creating a desktop icon.
As a very long shot you could check the Properties of the Desktop icon and see if anything is out of place.
When you say it doesn't show up on the screen do you mean it doesn't open at all or it opens to a blank screen? Try pressing F11 if you get a blank screen - you could be in full screen mode. -
I purchased a new BlackBerry Z30 recently from http://store.shopblackberry.com/store/bbrryus/en_US/pd/productID.298806900/categoryID.66826600/paren... and my Phone Model number is STL 100-5. I also purchased a Z30 Leather flip case manufactured by BlackBerry. I am using my BlackBerry Z30 along with the Z30 Leather flip case.
1) Within the first 2 weeks of receiving and using the new BB Z30 device, I noticed a problem of screen not responding some times. My phone has been freezed at the lock screen. My phone is not responding to any key except for the power button. So, I had an option of only restart/Turn Off my BlackBerry Z30 device. All the time whenever I had this problem, I have to restart my device in order to make it work properly again. I complained about this issue with BlackBerry Technical Support. They assisted me to reset the device to factory settings by taking a full backup. After reset also, I still had the same issue.
2) I am using Sandisk Extreme microSD card of 32GB with my BB Z30 device. Some times due to the restart option, all the data which I had on my microSD card is being erased and is filled with an unknown files.
3) I'm also unable to open some pictures which I have taken using BlackBerry Z30. As I observed, most of the pictures which I taken using Blackberry Z30 are unable to be open/view them after a few days. Still, I am able to observe the properties of those pictures. They are in JPEG format only.
4)Also If I create a Word Document on BlackBerry Z30 using Docs to Go Application and saved it. After closing that particular document and If I try to open it, the document file is not opening and projecting me an error of "This is not a valid .Doc file", but while I check the properties of that particular document it is in .doc format. I tried to transfer the file to my laptop using bluetooth. After a few seconds (approx 2-3 seconds) automatically the transferring is cancelled by the BlackBerry Z30 device. However, I tried to transfer the file within that short time using Bluetooth. While I tried to open it on my laptop using Microsoft Office 2013, the file is displaying with a squares of upto 4 pages while I had a content in it of 3 lines only. While I opened my file using Microsoft Office 2013, there is only squares available in that document.
5) My new BlackBerry Z30 is taking a long time of approximately 6-7 hours to charge the device from 10% to 100%
I request someone to help me with this issues. I would like to thank everyone who can help me with these issues in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.On 7th of Jan 2015 I made my device to factory reset. Also I removed microSD card from my device. As I observed for these 3 days, one time while I received a missed call, I tried to have a look at it. I observed that my screen has been freeze at the receiving call position and its not responding. I tried to close and reopened the display of my device with a flip case which I'm currently using for my device. At this time, after 3-4 swipes to unlock the device, again its back into working condition.
About Documents, I'm able to create, save and open the documents without any issues till now.
About Pictures, they are also working fine without any issues.
I also observed the charging time as approximately 3 hours for charging the device from 14% to 100%. -
Why I can't open some video in my facebook?
Why I can't open some video in my facebook?
Hi Chris.
Ok every son gneeds artist and album, but why in my 20 G photo Ipod I can see the songs searching via artist without any problem. And why in the new 30G video Ipod it only happens with some artists, cause for example I have 40 u2 songs, some with album name and some not, and all of them appear searching via artist. But with another artist, for example def leppard, I have 15 songs (some with album name, and some not) and searching via artist I can see only the ones in some particular album, and others that also have album name dont appear unless I look for them via song -
IPhoto09 unable to open some jpgs
After spending two hours with a Mac Genius, who was unable to help me, I'm hoping someone here can.
I recently upgraded to iLife09. I started having problems opening up some pictures in iPhoto. Here are the issues:
1) I can see the thumbnail, but when I try to double click on it, the picture will open for half-a-second and then just gives me a black screen
2) It gives blank screen on some pictures, but not all. They're pretty random.
3) I can find the actual jpg files in the iPhoto library, open the files ok in Finder or Photoshop and edit them, so I know the files are not corrupt
4) iPhoto09 is unable to open some jpgs, if I resave the jpg as tif or gif then reimport them to iPhoto09, it opens fine
5) The worst thing is that it's all random, it's unable to open some pictures in different albums, but I can't detect a pattern
6) This is only happening after I upgraded to iLife09
7) I sent the disputed jpgs to a friend, who imported them to her iPhoto08 and was able to open them just fine
Can someone help me please?I don't see color profile in Tools, I see Match to Profile and Assign Profile. The default selection is Generic RGB Profile.
In any case, all the pics was shot from the same camera on the same day. iPhoto will only open some, but not all. If I open the jpgs out of iPhoto, like Preview, I can open them all. I can also make edits to all pics in Photoshop but when I reimport those photos into iPhoto, it will open some, not all -- basically same issue as before. -

why when i try to open youtube videos on facebook they don't work, I receieve a message (an error occurred, please try again later) but when i open the videos at youtube they works ???Can you open up your Real Player and tell me what version you have? I think Real Player 15.0.6 is supposed to fix this problem. There was a conflict between Real Player and Flash this whole summer that broke Flash videos. Real Player released a update that might help in your case.
If that doesn't help, I think a addon might be to blame here. So do this:
<br> '''Firefox button <img src=https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/images/2012-03-27-09-22-48-1204f1.png> > Help > Troubleshooting Information'''
<br> (or '''Tools > Help > Troubleshooting Information''')
Then click the "Copy all to clipboard" button then paste it here. It will tell us what addons you have installed and I can see which one might be causing problems. -
I am unable to open some of apps, even one inbuilt app like camera, Example : regarding apps like Clash of clans and Bike race TFG.whenever I try to open these games, it start opening and in middle of opening , it sent me back to home page of my mobile. Please help what to do ?and with camera it open a blank black page ...... Please help ?
AmishCake has given you the correct steps for this issue. What is probably happening is you have too many apps running in the background or the ones that you have open are conflicting in some way with the one you are trying to use, so closing everything out and a good reboot should resolve it.
Also, make sure your device is updated and all the apps are updated. Sometimes when the app is updated and the iOS is not, can cause behaviour like this.
If it continues, back up your device and restore it.
