Hi, how do I get iPhoto set up to play avi files by double clicking them in Iphoto???

Hi,
I download photos and video shots from my digi camera into iPhoto 08 and it creates an event. All normal, all good....EXCEPT...for some reason today when I double click on the video file a .avi file, it wont play it unlesss i re-save it to the desktop and open via quicktime. surely there is a way to reset this back to the default so I can just double click on the file, right???

What version of the OS do you have? If it's 10.6 then add Quicktime 7.
Regards
TD

  • How can I get Safari (on Mac) to play MPEG files on my website?

    We have lots of media files and I want to play these files on Safari (on Mac) with QuickTime plug-in or VLC Web plug-in or anyting else...
    These files' properties:
    Extension: mpg
    Video codec: MPEG Video (PAL) (Version 1)
    Audio codec: MPEG Audio (Version 1) (Layer 2)
    Multiplexed (muxed)
    I tried QuickTime plug-in but it does not support the auido codec so the media file was shown with no sound. After a little research I found "QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component" which supports MPEG Audio Layer 2. But it is not free... (I have not tried it, maybe it won't work...)
    After that I wanted to try "VLC Web plugin for Intel Mac" but it did not work on my Safari. I heard that this project has not developed for 3 years...
    Is there any way to get Safari to play MPEG files?
    Note: No, I can not change media files' codec...

    If the pages load on one network but not on another, then it's a network problem. Try restarting the hotspot.

  • How do i get a fullstop when texting. I try to double click the space bar but its not working.

    The fullstop was working when i first got the phone but now its not. I am new to the i phone and not sure what i am doing. Its the i phone 4s.
    Also i dont know how to get the menu up while i am on the phone talking. For example if the company i am ringing requires me to press 1 for connection i cant get to the screen with the numbers. Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks for any help......

    Check Settings>General>Keyboard and make sure that "." Shortcut is set to On.
    When you are on a call, you should see a panel of six icons. The dial pad is the middle one on the top.

  • How do I get iTunes to recognise and play wma files?

    A couple of years ago I loaded all my music onto a Macbook Pro and used iTunes to load it to my iPhone. Now my computer has been stolen and so I have bought a new one with Mavericks. No matter what I do iTunes  won't import and play my wma files. What do I have to do to get iTunes to recognise these files.
    thanks

  • How do I get and set column attributes in a table or a treetable with Java?

    Using 11.1.1.4.0
    Hi,
    How do I get and set column attributes in a table or a treetable with Java? For a simple example, say I have a table and want certain roles to see all columns (including address), and other roles can see only certain columns (no address). In a Java method, I want to test if a table's column visible attribute is true and if so, set it to false before rendering it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Troy

    Hi,
    this use case would be a perfect example for using seeded MDS customization. Instead of checking what users are allowed to see or not upon rendering time, you have a customization class and thus the framework doing this for you.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/31-mds-sample-169173.pdf
    In this paper and sample, specific users see different layouts. It also contains a customization class that shows how this can leverage ADF Security

  • How do I get or set my network key?

    How do I get or set my network key? I secured my wireless network and now I can't connect with my laptop.
    Thanks

    Well, how did you secure it?
    You configure the router (for which you find the exact model name and hardware version on the label underneath the router) usually on http://192.168.1.1/ On the Wireless - Wireless Security tab you should be able to see the current wireless security settings including the key.
