Help, cant uncompress WindowsMediaPlayer.bin

For some reason, I cant uncompress the WindowsMediaPlayer.bin file.
I've download the Stuffit (version 11) from www.stuffit.com, and WindowsMediaPlayer.bin file from www.apple.com, several times.
My problem is whenI double click the WMPlayer file, the Stuffit application opens but all I get is a dialog window labeled "Progress", and an empty progress bar saying "Preparing...". Nothing more. The Stuffit app freezes and that is all. I've already tryed to drag the WMPlayer file to the Stuffit application, but I get the same result: a window with an empty progress bar saying "Preparing...".
The Stuffit app works fine with other compressed files.
Cant somebody help me on this, please. I really need to install the Windows Media Player program.
Thanks in advance.

Obrigado!
But sorry, didnt work. Here's what I did:
- dowonloaded the "WM Components 2.1.dmg"
- Started to install it, but got the message "Quick Time version 6.5.1 or later is required to run Flip4Mac WMV Player"
- My QuickTime installed version is 7.5.1
So, what am I doing wrong? What's missing here?

  • Help - cant get back to desktop

    I booted my powerbook using command+s. How do I return it to the normal desktop?? Every time it turn it on it just loads up a page that looks like terminal -black with white text.
    the message it displays is
    etc/master.passwd: No such file or directory
    -sh-2.05b#
    Other than that there was no issue. I was following instruction in case you lost your SU cd's and cant remember your password. it was telling me to mount a different drive...maybe thats where the trouble is? any help would be great

    llkk:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Try this:
    Shut down computer.
    Hit Power button and immediately after chime hold down Option key.
    If your OS X volume shows up select and click straight arrow.
    Good luck.

    so after this i tried uninstalling it on control panel and the same thing happens(cant install because a newer virsion is already installed).
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Now run the utility ("Start > All programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Please help cant install iTunes 7.7

    i was using the previous version and just started off an update when prompted for iTunes 7.7, but the update then failed (sadly it didnt really give any info about the failure). I have tried downlaoding and installing manualy but still no joy the installation just fails and says i need to reinstall iTunes.
    However....i cant uninstall it :o I have tried uninstalling through add>remove programs but it just gets so far then seems to roll back and iTunes is still there.
    I tried doing a repair with the itunes 64 setup but that didnt seem to work either.
    I have since uninstalled quick time and tried to uninstall iTunes but still stuck in the same situation of it refusing to uninstall.
    Please help guys 'ANY' thoughts apreciated
    cheers

    However....i cant uninstall it :o I have tried uninstalling through add>remove programs but it just gets so far then seems to roll back and iTunes is still there.
    Okay. Let's try uninstalling the existing version by other means.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    Now restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HELP cant get it to get music, frusterated into te

    ok, i got it for christmas, and i was realy looking forward to getting it going cause i have an mpc port in my car and i dri've alot, well...you get the drift, either way, i cant get it to work, i tried calling the customer support, but forgot they were closed, and now im stuck, and confused. there was no manual or n e thing on how to work the desktop items (media explorer and organizer, and i never got this toolbar thing they siad would be there) but anyway, i finaly got all of it figured out, got my musick on to thoes programs fine, and then transfered them to wat was supposed to be my zen...i took my zen, and went to go dri've, and realized..there was not music on it, so i pluged it back in, and now it wont prompt the transfer, and so i checked through the computer to see what was actualy on my zen, and it says my songs are on it and its in a playlist, but THEYRE NOT im so confused, dont know how to work the organizer, or explorer, and all i want is my music...can anyone help?

    Right it seems we are not alone, i ran a search in the forum - this particular problem with MacPros appears to have been around since February 2008 but none of the posts got a reply so I guess the issue is lying dormant. I'm going to call AppleCare tonight and report it and if they don't have a solution I will be requesting a refund until it's sorted out. After my £4k G5 Quad died for hardware faults just 15 months down the line I'm particularly wary of quality control and don't want to burned twice at this price.

  • IPod Shuffle Help - Cant open files on ipod (blank screen)

    I'm sure it's already been covered here, but I couldn't find anything that helped.
    I have a iPod shuffle, and iTunes recognises it but wants to re-format it (not my biggest problem), and Windows only partially recognises it.
    In My Computer it is listed as an iPod (E:), but when i open it, which it does, it displays a blank screen. It doesn't recognise any files in it AT ALL. But recognises how much free space i still have on my ipod. I can open my ipod files (Songs) on friends and school computers, just not mine.
    It just seems that i'm missing a file of some sort, which is able to read the files on my ipod shuffle, but i just don't no what it could be.
    I have tried every available solution, reinstalling iTunes/iPod, with no luck. I also just added service pack 2 for my windows xp pro and thought that would have solved my problem.
    Any suggestions?

  • Help cant update...Other didnt post question

    Okay, Lets see if this one works. Sorry for the last post. I am trying to upgrade to the new I tunes on my PC. It downloads and everything but at the end says" file name "program file" has unrecognizable character.
    I did move the I tunes file to my H drive since my cdrive is soooo small. I tunes works fine I just cant get it to update. When moved it and tried to update it said cannot find program file. so I created a program file and moved I tunes into it. now I get the message I said. I changed the name several times to see if I typed something wrong. It will not let me change the update location. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks gregg

    I also have been having this problem consistantly.  I run Mac OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.5.1, and the only way I could find to get iTunes to upgrade my new iPhone4, was to do it from my laptop, which wiped out all my data. What a pain!!!  But now I can't get it to take once I re-synch with my main computer-  still will not upgrade.
    I had this trouble repeatedly with my earlier 3GS at times and it was so damned frustrating.
    Does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening?
    I also tried all the help sections from Apple.  like unplugging every GD USB device from my computer... and then trying to do the upgrade...  no luck!
    Hope someone comes up with a fix for this BUG!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Try rebuilding the database and thumbnails. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    If that fails, then you may have a corrupted database file. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
