Have qt mpeg-2 codec but suddenly neither QT player, nor VLC will play eyetv mpeg-2 files.

A while back, I got an eyetv 200, which I use regularly. I ended up buying QT mpeg-2 codec and installing it...and ever since, I could play mpeg-2 files in either QT player, VLC or mpeg streamclip. Suddenly, however, QT player tells me that "This file is not a movie" and VLC comes up with a garbled vid file. Mpeg Streamclip does play it, however, as does eyetv. I have tried reinstalling QT and getting the newest version of the codec via my apple acct download, have reinstalled perian as well....but nothing seems to fix this issue. I don't know if anything is corrupt. I have run permissions repairs, and it's not long since I repaired the disk as well. My system is as up to date as a G5 imac can be on Leopard...and I've got plenty of ram! 1.5 GB... Any suggestions on what the problem could be? Could it be a recent update of something on mac OS that is interfering? Are there any pref files I should trash?
One side note, about the same time, my firefox started asking for a new version of Java which does not exist for my mac. I was trying to use speedtest.charter.net, and it had been working, but suddenly required an unsupported JAVA....it did work in Safari, however. Don't know if these issues could all be related somehow.

just discovered that .ts files are also no longer playing in neither QT Player nor VLC. would really prefer not to have to reinstall my entire system!

I updated my iPhone 4 to the iOS 6. I no longer have any ringers sounds, and neither my music nor videos will play. They are listed, but when I press the play button, nothing happens. Solutions?

Has anyone found the solution to this problem?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Neither Flash Player nor Java working on Windows 8.1 with IE 11

I have a new sony laptop with Windows 8 and IE 11. I have upgraded to Windows 8.1. Neither Flash Player nor Java are working despite having made all the recommended settings. Adobe recommends upgrading to Flash Player 12.00.38, but I can seem to get it installed.
Whats wrong and how do I fix it?

Flash Player for IE in Windows 8 and 8.1 is embedded by Microsoft and you cannot update it here. It MUST be updated via Windows Update.
The fatc that Java isn't working as well leads me to believe you have other problems, but IE11 (comes with Windows 8.1) has been a "rolling train wreck" since the day it was released. Websites and pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
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.

You need to reinstall OS X:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I have a Mac OS X version 10.3.9, I cannot find a browser that is up to date and will play any video type files. Could anyone tell me if there is something up to date?

I have a Mac OS X version 10.3.9. I cannot find a browser that is up to date or one that will play any video type files. Could anyone tell me if there is something up to date? or can the software be updated on this computer to get up to date?

Visit MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for browsers. However, I doubt you will find any contemporary browsers that work with Panther.
Have you considered upgrading your OS, if possible, or getting a newer computer?
BTW, you've posted this in the Servers and Enterprise Software forum. In the future you should post in the appropriate forum for you question. This forum isn't the right one. Mac OS X v10.3 and earlier would be the right place to start.

ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:

TS1389 I have done all the above but I still can't get Quicktime to play a HD movie I purchased on itunes. I get error message "This computer could not be authorized to play [movie title]"

I have looked extensively online but can't find an answer yet.
I also tried playing the HD movie in VCL Media Player. I select the movie in finder, right-click to Open With VCL. Window opens with Library menu on left and first item in the menu is Playlist. HD movie is listed in the playlist. I select Play and counter at bottom of window starts counting as if movie is playing but nothing else happens.
Help greatly appreciated.

Tried some more movies in my library and it seems that all movies purchased in the iTunes Stores UK with my iTunes UK account wont play in Quicktime (or VCL media player). These movies will play in itunes.
This is cleary a DRM issue but don't I have the same legal rights to play my movies regardless of which iTunes store I purchased from?

Have two albums in iTunes that say can't find file location but they are on iPod nano and will play on nano but not in iTunes

I'm trying to play two albums using iTunes but they say the files can't be located and won't play. The albums are on my iPod Nano 3rd Gen. and will play there. Syncing my iPod and computer doesn't resolve the problem. How do I get the albums from the nano to the computer?

Hello, FayAnnR.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that I would recommend going through when iTunes indicates that a file can not be located.
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1408
If the media was purchased from iTunes, I would recommend deleting the missing media and either transfer purchased from your iPod or download them again via the third article below.

After recent updates neither of my mac computers will play certain videos

I have a mac pro running 10.6.8 and a mac book pro running 10.7.5 and recently I downloaded security upgrades from apple. Now neither of these computers will play videos from the Canadian Business program BNN. I checked that flash was up to date and it is. I can't find anything else that might be the programs. I tried using both Safari and Firebox and neither of them work. Anyone have any suggestions? I hesitate to switch to Maverick becacause I use a tabloid scanner and other printers which are not supposed by that OS.

It has happened just the last two days.
Just this moment when I went to the site to copy the URL there was a notice that says BNN is having technical problems with video.
It appears the problems in not with my macs.
Thanks for your quick reponse to my question, I appreciate it.

All my itunes files are visible but none will play. Error message file cannot be found

All my track file names and other details are visible in Itunes but none will play. single click on a track and an exclamation mark embeds at the front of the track name bar double click or click play and the error message I get says, "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? A search doesn't find it.
This applys to every track on itunes but music files in the music folder in Finder still play. Can anyone Help please

Is it possible that you moved the iTunes Media folder using Finder (or renamed something along the path)? The reason this happened is because iTunes cannot find the song files where they were previously located. However, you know where they are located (in the "music folder," so you can find the files using Finder and play them.
That you need to do is to put the files back where they were previously located. If you need to change the location of the files, you can use iTunes to move the files, so that iTunes can keep track of their new locations. This article provides instructions

Created slide show in iPhoto, but with new version music no longer will play. When I click on fit slideshow to music, iPhoto shuts down. How can I fix this.

I created a slideshow in a previous version of iPhoto. Since updating software the music in my slide show no longer plays. How do I fix this? If I select fit slideshow to music, the application will shutdown and the error file is sent and have to reopen iPhoto.

I reorganized iTunes music library and it works.

HT1766 When I setup my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently entered wrong email address for apple id. I cannot verify the email sent. I have a new apple id, but can neither use nor delete the iCloud account. How do I get an iCloud account for this phone?

When I set up my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently used wrong email for setting up my apple id. I have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. How can I get an iCloud account for this phone?

You said "have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. ".
Why can't you verify it?
Do you not receive the verification email address?

FCPX: Clips have dropped frames in timeline, but not in Event Library or VLC

I make movie montages (or supercuts as they're more widely known) and I'm constantly running into this issue. Here's my workflow:
1) Convert movie to .mp4 using Handbrake
2) Extract clip from converted movie using MPEG Streamclip
3) Import clip into FCPX
In FCPX I have the project's framerate set to 23.98 at 1280x720. When converting a movie to .mp4, I set the framerate to 23.976 (NTSC) in Handbrake.
- Clips play fine in VLC.
- Clips play fine in the Event Library.
- As soon as they're moved into the timeline, playback is choppy.
This doesn't happen with all clips, and there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to why one plays fine and the other doesn't. What am I missing? What should I be looking for when comparing clips?
Final Cut Pro X 10.0.6
Mid 2011 Mac Mini
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6630M 256 MB
Software OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)

You could do the MP4 to PR .mov conversion in Streamclip or Compressor.

Neither my ipad nor iphone will sync with itunes on my pc. it says i need a newer version of itunes but when i download the latest version i get the same message.

I can't get my iPhone 4s or my iPad 2 to sync with itunes on my pc. My very ancient ipod nano works fine. I get told that the version of itunes is too old. I have tried on 3 occasions to download the update, and while it doesn't say there has been a problem with the download I continue to get the same message. I do get a warning that itunes is not properly installed and that i won't be able to burn cds. I have tried uninstalling itunes completely and reinstalling but that doesn't work either.
does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Have you run windows update? That could prevent iTunes from properly installing. Also, try with your antiVirus and firewall disabled. What version of Windows are you running?
OS X is the operating system on the Mac.
