How do I change which media player adobe reader X uses when I click a link that directs me to a vid

There is a link in a pdf file I use, and when I click on it i receive this message:
"This media requires an additional player. Please click 'Get Media Player' to download the correct media player. To play the media, you will need to close and restart the application once the player installation is complete."
However, I am in possession of several media players that I know are able to play the file that the link is referring to.
I do not want to download additional media players. I just want to figure out how to play the video when I click on the link.
Thanks for your time.

Andy, is your profile signature "iMac (27-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.5)" still correct or has your system changed since you set it up?
the Aperture database that is under Media - Photo is the wrong one
This may be a problem of a wrong entry in the Aperture preferences file. The Media Browser will use the most recently opened Aperture library . Try first to switch to a new empty Aperture library and then back (you can switch using the File menu in Aperture (File > Switch to Library > Other/New). Then restart your Mac to ensure, that all applications terminate properly.
If you are running Aperture 3.5.1 in Mt. Lion or later, you may need to enable the option "Share XML with other applications" in the Aperture preferences "Preview" tab. This is only necessary for non-Apple apps (Aperture 3.5: Set "Share XML with other applications" to "Never" for better performance and faster quit times).
If that does not correct the Aperture library in the Media Browser, quit Aperture and remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder as described in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting basics.

  • How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

    How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

    I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
    iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
    This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways  do this is
    Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
    Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
    From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
    When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
    So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible.

    Hi,
    It seems that you want to disable that media player, the way shared by Pisteuon works for creating a blur for both window and controls.
    If you want to disable that media player, you could consider using the following way, in this case we need the class below.
    ImageCapture.

    Add a panel to bring to front, and draw what that media player looks as its background image.

    if (this.myPanel == null)
    myPanel = new Panel();
    myPanel.Size = this.axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Size;

  • How do i change the media type on a digital booklet when they option bar is greyed out?

    I downloaded an album a couple days ago which came with a digital booklet. I am trying to put it on my phone but need to change the media type to book to be able to do this. whenever I go to the get info tab, the options tab is completely greyed out and wont let me do anything to it. I have tried selecting read only on the file and it did not work. I have windows 8. If there's is any different way of getting this on my phone, anything would be great!

    The item must not be read only if you want to change it.
    In the new Get Info dialog the Media Kind is in a light grey. Next to that will be the word Music. Hover over it and you should see that it is part of a drop down list control, click and select Book.

  • How can I change the language in Adobe Reader to spanish?

    How can I change the actual language that I install already by mistake? I dont understand
    the language and I need to change for spanish.

    The old-is-gold method: Uninstall the older version, reinstall the newer version.
    Alternatively (quicker and happy version),
    1. Go to Preferences.
    2. Select Language from the left side.
    3. Look for "Application Language" dropdown.
    4. Select "Choose at application startup".
    5. Restart Reader.

    When updating apps, it shows my boyfriends apple id (we share a plan and both just got 4S). Every thing else shows my apple id. I want to use my own accont to update apps. How do I get rid of his apple id on my phone?

    You cannot.

  • When I click a link that goes to a "gif" file/page, it won't open; how do I fix this?

    Ever since I've used Firefox, when I click on certain links, and the tab shows "gif", the page is blank. This happens with all kinds of web sites: in TripAdvisor when trying to access certain hotel web pages. Just today when on Delta, as I tried to click and access the store links in their SkyMiles shopping program (like Bloomingdales!).
    Here is the tab info from the Delta example: " click (GIF Image, 1x1 pixels)" Some variation of this appears with a blank page. It's frustrating, as these are not suspicious sites! Also I just got Windows 7, so it's happened with both XP and Win-7. What can I do to prevent this and get to the site I want?
    Thanks!

    Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a 1x1 GIF image instead.

  • How to change default media player setting in Mountain Lion

    I right click on the desired media player, then I click on "get info" and another pop up appears,
    but there is no "open with" selection!  See pic below:
    I open the application folder in the Finder window, I highlight the desired media player, I go to the top and
    click on File and in the drop down menu, the "open with" is grayed out.  Why?
    How do I change the default media player setting or better yet, where do I find what is the default player?  Help Please!

    you need to find the file you are trying to have open with a specific application.
    for example, I'm going to use an MP4 file titled cat_adventure video.
    here it is in finder
    I right click (secondary click) it in finder, and then hold down the option key on my keyboard.
    the Open With dialogue should change to "Always Open With" and then you choose your application from the pull out menu when you hover that.
    You can make it so all MP4 or whichever file you are using (AVI, MKV, etc) to open with a specific app by right clicking the file choosing get info
    The difference here is I'm not selecting the application but a file with the extension of the video format I always want to be opened with a specific application
    once in the get info menu I can then select to have the video always open with a certain app.
    1.click the open with accordion menu arrow if it is pointing to the left. it should be pointing down.
    2.select the application you want to always be associated with that file format
    3.select Change All to have that file format always be opened with that Application.
    Where this isn't working for you is because you are doing this to the Application itself. you don't do it like that. You need to find the type of file you are trying to open with itunes and then go through these steps.
    selecting the application (itunes) instead of the file (mp4, avi, mkv, flv) will not allow you to set what the file format lets you use to play your video.
    having said that, itunes is very limited in what it can and can't play. Mainly .mov and mp4's (apples proprietary extensions)

  • How do I change which application is the (default) for a given file type?

    For .pdf files, I have set the application behaviour to "Always Ask", because sometimes I want to open the pdf, sometimes I want to save it. So far so good.
    Now, when I want to open the .pdf, I have added an application to the dropdown list, so now I have "Adobe Reader 9 (default)" and "okular".
    The problem is this: I *never* open using Adobe Reader. I always want to use okular, but Adobe Reader always appears first on the list, as it is the 'default'. This means I always have to click on the dropdown and select "okular", i.e. an extra step every time I want to open a pdf.
    How do I change which application is the default?

    Yes, I know that. That was the first sentence of my question, but it is not the problem I have.
    I want to change which application is the (default) for a given file type, and this cannot be done from the settings.
