How do I get a downloaded media player to actually work

I am trying to view videos online and I constantly get that ? and a dialogue box asking if I want to download Windows Media Player, so I do and the application cannot be opened. The icon after dowloaded is just a little piece of paper, so I am thinking it doesn't recognize it as an application. It then proceeds to ask me to specify the program it would like to open in. It just doesnt work. I would like to view videos online. How do I go about a successful download of a media player????

How do i get my Windows Media Player Songs to my itunes????

Hi, I cant figure out how to transfer my w. Media player songs to my itunes?? I am still new at this can someone help me out? It asked me once along time ago but i didnt have any of my music on there then!!! Thank you so much for any help. I appreciate it! Emmers.

Kudos!
Anyway, I have 56 songs transfered from Windows Media Player to iTunes. I've done this over the course of one and half years at about every two or three month intervals. Every time I discovered new songs something changed in my Mom's PC and I would have to import into iTunes differently; for example, I would convert the songs and then just drag and drop into iTunes or save the playlist as a format that could be converted in iTunes. Right now I have about twenty songs in WMP waiting for iTunes. When I do drag and drop songs from WMP to iTunes they appear in iTunes but they won't sync to my Nano. They won't convert to AAC file either. Now, these are songs from the internet and that is exactly how iTunes reads them; files from a website. Is there anyway to get my songs into iTunes? I tried everything Dave Sawyer and Chris CA said but nothing seems to be working!

How do I get the Adobe Flash Player 10 to Work (Windows XP SP3)?

I am a Premiere Elements user who occasionally exports the Timeline to Adobe Flash Video (.flv). And, occasionally I convert the .flv export to .swf with a free .flv to .swf converter. An installed Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 successfully plays back the .swf, and an installed Adobe Media Player 1.7 successfully plays back the .flv.
Right or wrong I got the idea that the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 was really a very old version of what is now the Adobe Flash Player. So, I decided it was time to update the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 to Adobe Flash Player 10. At this point, I have the following installed on my Windows XP SP3 computer via Adobe downloads:
Adobe Flash player 10 Active X
Adobe Flash player 10
Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5
The Adobe web site verification tells me that as well as the computer Control Panel Add/Remove program list.
But, no matter what I do, .flv insists on opening only with the Adobe Media Player 1.7 and the .swf only with the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0.
I have tried
a. browsing to another Open With choice
b. changing file association in folder options as well as a few uninstalls/reinstalls and have been unsuccessful in these attempts. At one point I thought that maybe uninstalling the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 would be an approach, but I cannot find it to uninstall it. I have looked in Program Files, Documents and Settings/Application Data, Local Drive/Windows/System32, tried the computer Search...all with no luck. My browsers are Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 2.0.0.20. The default browser is Firefox and all the appropriate "allows" are in place.
If anyone could point out the errors of my ways, I would appreciate it.

I have resolved the issues presented without having to find and uninstall the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 in order to get "Adobe Flash Player 10" playback of .swf files on my computer. When I begin this task, I expected to download an "Adobe Flash Player 10" as a player program download instead of the Internet Explorer and Firefox plugin that it appears to be.
This is what I did and what I believe I have:
1. I setup Internet Explorer 6 as my default browser and then used the following site to download Adobe Flash Player 10
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
2. As I had done before (and also suggested in another thread here), I went to Tools/Manage Add Ons and found Shockwave Flash Object, highlighted it, and clicked on Update Active X. Next, what I did not do before, I restarted the computer immediately after that.
3. Next, I set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and then used the above site to download Adobe Flash Player 10 again.
4. With Firefox, the critical step included Firefox Tools/Options/Content with File Types (Configure how Firefox handles certain types of files) and the Manage Tab there. SWF Shockware Flash Object/Change Action/and dotting "use this plugin" - Shockwave Flash, followed by a computer restart got the job done.
Now, if I want playback of a .swf file, I can
a. Open With Internet Explorer (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
b. Open With Mozilla Firefox (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
c. Open With Macromedia Flash Player 8.0
I am satisfied with those results for my use. Any additional comments on the player vs plugin aspect of the matter would be interesting and helpful.

How do I get my bridge web gallery to actually work in my photoshop website

Hi
Can anyone explain to me in simple english (please - as I'm just a learner) how I get my web gallery (created in bridge) to work with my photoshop website.
This is what I have done so far:-
(1) I've created my root folder called 'test'. It has 3 subfolders called:-
- 'page1' (which is my homepage created as said below)
- 'page2-gallery' (where I want my bridge web gallery to be)
- 'page3-other' (for another page link - not important here).
(2) I have also created a simple website in photoshop (my homepage said above), using the slice tool and have saved it by saveforweb. So I now have my html website file and which works when tested online. One of the slice segments is for my 'gallery' icon on the homepage which, when clicked, should go directly to my bridge web gallery created.
(3) I have also created a web gallery in bridge and I saved it applying the 'savelocation' as being in page2 of my root folder. But when I checked it online the 'gallery' icon on my homepage does nothing. I then tried saving the gallery to my root folder instead (i.e. not in the page2 of my root folder) but with zero results.
(4) I've then dragged the root folder's html file (my website's homepage) into dreamweaver, clicked the 'gallery' icon and tried to apply the page2 of my root folder file to the properties inspector's link box (bottom of dreamweaver workspace) - but this wouldn't work either.
I know that I must be close to solving this riddle and so can anyone help me please.

How do I get pdf export to powerpoint to actually work?

Acrobat makes it sound so easy. Everything I've tried results with the same "Save as failed to process this document..."

Hey rick design,
Thank you for posting at Adobe forums.
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Also, try converting another PDF file to Powerpoint format as that might be an issue with specific document that has become corrupt.
If you get the same error message for every PDF document that you try to export, then please check for Acrobat Updates under the Help menu.
Also, you might go for a repair option from the Help menu and check.
You can also refer this link that discuss the same issue:
How to fix save as failed to process this document. no file was created (Export PDF)
Is the PDF scanned? There might be a chance that the PDF was not encoded properly. So, please try printing your PDF to Adobe PDF printer. Then, run the OCR (for scanned file) and save the file as word document to see if this works.
Please let me know how it goes. Hope to get your response.
Regards,
Anubha

I have tried multiple times to downloand the lug in for Flash player but it won'tdownload. How do I get it downloaded?

I have tried to download flash player and the plug in for it as well but each time it says it wasn't installed. It says it needs to be installed manually but then there are no instructions to do that. How do I get this downloaded?

Sometimes the Windows installer gets too many changes queued and stops working correctly. In those cases, it usually helps to shut down and restart Windows to clear the backlog.
For future reference, the Flash player plugin should install to this folder:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash ''{based on Windows 7 64-bit}''
You want to find NPSWF32_11_9_900_117.dll

Some DVDs for School, Downloaded Media Player for Mac but still...

(I apologize if this is in the wrong area, but I am sure I will be notified very quickly.)
I am in a bind. I have these Multimedia Symposium CDs. I have been trying the iDvd to see if they will play, but maybe there really is an important difference between CD and DVD. Anyway, the lace that made them told me they re DVDs.
Anyway, in the manual that came with the 12-pack, of course Mac is not listed as a "Minimum System Requirement." They are about 5 years old (I really could not afford the brand-new ones and they are exactly the same except they have not been open yet.
I was able to use StuffIt and get Windows Media Player (the latest mac version) downloaded and right away it wanted to play some DVDs and CDs on a website abut the Grammy's. Both just music and a DVD (music and video) worked great from this site.
I seem to meet all the other requirements except under Processor it says; "IBM or 100% compatible PC. This is a MacBook Pro which means it is not a PC, right? I am not up on a lot with the computer field, especially the picky stuff like this.
A little about the install of the applications. (I know how much you guys love detailed and long Posts so I will keep it to a screeching halt, or I should say I will try.) I followed Stuff'Its Instructions, which basically said just to download it to the desktop, drag and drop it in the Program (I assume the Applications and Programs folder are pretty much the same.) and you are good to go. I did not even look to see where StuffIt went, I just knew it successfully dropped into the Applications folder. After that, I have no idea about how it knows that the Windows Media Player ( (I think it is ) is the latest for Mac.
As usual with mac once I played a song on the Media Player from the desktop, I noticed over 10 icons that were not on the desktop before I started this much needed task. This is another question all together, but why does Mac put nearly everything on the desktop? I tell it to go other places, and it puts the application, folder, file, song, etc. in the place I request but it also puts it on the desktop. Something that is interesting, I opened an icon webmail.csv icon n the desktop and it is from Numbers (I think the application is called. it comes with iWork and I have never used it.) Anyway, I opened it and it was a spreadsheet of all the people I have in an old address book with about 50 columns headings and about 5 for each name filled in. Very interesting.
So, I can get the Windows Media Player to play. (BTW every video/song I try from the web it leaves an icon f that song/video on the desktop with the Media Player as the icon.)
Does anybody have any suggestions how I can get thee to play? They were new when I opened them unless they plastic wrapped the box, but I asked for a used box. Everything in the box looks clean, no scratches on any CD or DVD, but I really need to view these Multimedia CDs
I will end the Post by saying that there are 3 Required Programs listed under Required Programs. I have 2:
1. Internet Explorer version 6 or above
2. Windows Media Player 9 or above (I have the one that says it is the latest for people with a Mac)
3. Adobe Reader version 5.05 or above (I have Adobe Reader 8).
Thank in advance for any help, if there is any.

This is a very long and confusing post, to say the least
You may want to have a look at these articles to familiarize with your new Mac:
http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/
http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/
Regarding your more immediate problem, having a better idea of what you're trying to use is required before we can give you meaningful advice.
First of all, what is on the discs you are trying to use? If they are commercial discs, they must have a label of some kind that indicates what are are.
Then, when your insert a disc in your MacBook Pro's optical drive, what happens? Do you see a disc icon appear on your Desktop?

How to communicate servlets with windows media player

I am new to web programming I am developing an application through which a client can play media file.
I am getting problem in,how to communicate servlet through windows media player.
I have developed the basic architecture of my application using tiger server,now I want to open media file through windows media player using openURL option(http request).
Can any body guide me how to build a servlet which can listen this request and how to respond appropriately
Please Reply.

Check out the java doc for HttpServletResponse
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse.html
Your sevlet will have to set the response contentType to the appropriate mime type
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwmt/html/mime.asp
and contentLength to the file size (in bytes), then open the mp3/wma file and write the bytes to the servlet output stream.
You could also choose to return an asx file (an xml document containing a url of the media file), and windows media player will automatically lookup the mp3/wma file stored on your web server.

There is no download as such. When you purchase QT 7 Pro, you are just purchasing a registration key that "unlocks" the QT 7 "Pro" editing features already built into the QT 7 Player but not activated without the key. Since you are listed as using the Lion OS, you need to check your "Applications > Utilities" folder to see if QT 7 is already installed there.
If it is, then you will need to open the app, open the "Registration..." window under the "QuickTime Player 7" Menu and enter the "Registered To:" and "Registration code:" entries to activate the "Pro" features. Be sure to follow the instructions found on the web page I will post below.
If it is not already installed in the "Applications > Utilities" folder, then you will have to first download and install the special QT 7 Player v7.6.6 software found on the download page which is linked to the web page containing both installation and registration instructions which is included below.
