How do i know what plug-in to use to watch video?

I have firefox version 22, and windows 7 home premium. i don't have an add-on that i know of to watch videos. it keeps asking me to install something from a list, but i can't find firefox 22, and i don't know why they want to know about internet explorer. i am being prompted to install silverlight but not sure if i am compatible. what do i do?

It depends on the video site. Some sites may only provide video content using Silverlight and if so you will need to install Silverlight. Silverlight is a Microsoft product and l works as a Firefox plugin. (If it is found to interfere with some Firefox processes you may of course disable Silverlight when it is not required.)

You may use more than one browser on a computer so if convenient you could use Firefox for most day-to-day browsing but still use Internet Explorer (IE) on sites that require IE Some things probably do require IE such as your regular Windows updates. Do not try to remove IE even if you usually use Firefox.

    None are '''''necessary''''' to use Firefox, but some parts of some web pages aren't going to work without a specific plugin being installed.

  • How do you know what speed discs to use?

    I experienced a problem backing up my iTunes library and found out it might be due to the DVDs that I was using. I have a G4 iMac running 10.3.9. It has a superdrive but I am not sure how to figure out what speed disc to use. Can anyone help? My 16X DVD-Rs aren't working and apparently 16X isn't what I should be using.
    Finally, if 16X aren't right where do I get slower ones? Pretty much all I have seen are 16X.
    Thanks for your help!
    Jenn

    If you are carefull and read the packaging, you will see that some will read that they will burn at 1X-2X-4X-8X or 16X.
    One that comes to mind is the Maxell 16X DVD-R
    Remember that not all media DVD's offer this feature, so take your time and read the package.
    Here is a good guide for quality to use as well.

  • How do i know what is downloading in the background of my ipad

    How do I know what is downloading in the background. My wi fi is showing something is downloading, but I dont know where to look to see what exactly is downloading.
    Also why does my iPad keep looking for wi fi spots when I have already selected and opened my wi fi ?

    Check in Settings>iTunes & App Store>Automatic Downloads>Updates>On. If that is set to "On", any apps that require updates are being downloaded in the background. I turned it off on my iPad. Just another way to drain the battery IMO. I can update the apps when I am ready to do so and I can do when the iPad is plugged into power.
    How do you know that the iPad is looking for WiFi hotspots?

    On a Mac running v10.7.2, the only way to reinstall Safari is to reinstall OS X using OS X Recovery.
    Safari 5.1.1 is for Snow Leopard. It will not run on a Mac with v10.7 installed.

  • I'd like to replace my hard drive.  How do I know what to buy for my 15-inch early 2008 MacBook Pro?

    I am out of room on my hard drive.  I'd like to get a new hard drive and restore my data to the new drive from Time Machine.  How do I know what kind of hard drive to buy for my 15-inch, early 2008 MacBook Pro?  Also, how hard is this to do? 

    I have changed HDDs several times on the old MBP.  Currently it has a Hitachi 500 GB HDD that came out of my new one.  My adage is that one cannot have too much storage and I think that the 1TB HDD is an excellent choice.  Not only do you get generous capacity, the performance should be (theoretically) comparable to a 750 GB 7200 rpm HDD.  I will be very surprised if there are compatibility problems.
    If you bought the HDD from OWC, you should have received Installation instructions.  If not, go to the OWC website and look at the video.  I actually downloaded it so that I could hand write the instructions down step by step.  Also check out iFixit website.  They have step by step instructions that may prove to be useful.
    Tools you need:  00 Phillips and #6 Torx Drivers (get good ones).   The instructions make mention of a plastic pry bar (spudger).  I use a stiff piece of plastic like a credit card.
    Tips to keep in mind:  Get a large open table space and place a large clean towel on it.  That will protect your MBP and when you drop a screw (and you will) it will not bounce far so you will not have to spend an hour looking for it.
    As you take out a set of screws, keep them together (I use wide masking tape.  The little screws will stick to it.)
    Keep the sets in sequence.  That will make reassembly much, much easier.
    The most difficult steps are removing the keyboard from the MBP body and removing the ribbon cable from the mother board.  In case of the former, work from the back (the display) to the front.  You will initially have to pry it up and then do a lot of jiggling to remove it.  Don't be too timid about it.  At the end of the ribbon cable there is a rectangular connector.  Use your credit card to remove it.  Just pry it off.
    The #6 Torx driver is used to take off the 4 mounting pins on the HDD and if I remember correctly there is another place where it is needed, specifically in the battery compartment ( I think).  If the instructions don't say so, keep that in mind and inspect the screw before you select the driver.
    Good luck and make sure that you don't have parts left over.
    Ciao.

  • How do I know what files to remove from my Macbook Pro laptop?

    Apparently my hard drive is full and I need to remove files so I have space to download more music and movies.  I don't want to delete important files.  How do I go about doing this? 

    How do I know what files to remove from my Macbook Pro laptop?
    Remove only files you yourself stored on the laptop; files in your Home folder. Don't delete any files from the system libraries, and if you want to remove applications, use the provided uninstallers.
    For files in the media libraries - iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie use the application to delete music, photos, movies.
    If you are planning on storing more movies and music on your mac, deleting old files will probably not suffice alone to free enough space. Consider to get yourself an external drive to store your media.

  • ICalendar: How do I know what day, in month view, I am working on?

    The calendar in Mavericks is so frustrating compared to SL. How do I know what day, in month view, I am working on? There is no highlight or box or anything. Am I missing something? Also I suppose its not possible to just see 1 month anymore like it use to be instead of seeing 6 weeks. Thanks.  Sure wish Apple would let us keep our Macs the way WE like it with a classic setting everytime they add something that they think is better. Like those awesome grey icons all over the place instead of color.

  • How do we know what are all the fields  updated in a screen?

    Hi all,
             If i am making modifications in row details of sales order screen .for eg, <b>i am changing the quantity or price for a row</b> 
             I want to write log file for the updated fields for that particular sales order.
             <b> How do we know what are all the fields are updated ?</b>     
             If we can use SBOTransaction_Notification procedure.How to write code inside that.
             Please provide code example for that.I have downloaded the sample.But i donot know how to use 'Add code to here ' part.
             Please help me to solve this.Hope  your  reply soon
    Regards,

    Hi, V.Rangarajan!
    When the field in the matrix is filled with some value and the user moves to another field, the et_LOST_FOCUS event occurs. So, i think you can try to handle ItemEvents and use such code (for example):
    if (pVal.EventType == SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_LOST_FOCUS && pVal.ItemUID == "38" && pVal.BeforeAction == false && pVal.FormType == 139)
    string ChangedColumnID = pVal.ColUID;
    int ChangedRowNumber = pVal.Row;
    and write the values to your log.
    "38" - is the matrix ID in the Orders form
    "139" - is the Orders form
    Also you can access to the value, that user had put into the field.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do you know what view is available to a form?

    A customer requirement that we set the a firstlogin attribute on the on one of the resources the first time a user logs into the IDM end user interface, changes their password, and provides answers for their authentication questions. The way I know that a person has done this, it that they are displayed the "End User Menu"
    The problem is the accounts portion of the User view is not accessible from the End User Menu. I put the same code in the End User Form and it works.
    Is there a way for me to access resource attributes from this form?
    Is this the incorrect approach to solving this problem?
    How do you know what view is available to a form?

    Thanks, that was my problem originally. When using a fieldref I had to set the base context to variables.user i.e.
    baseContext=':variables.user'
    And in workflow I had to preface variable names with the name of the object I checked the view out into.
    What I really wanted to know how to have multiple views open in a form if possible. I'd like to be able to manipulate user and role objects in the same form when editing users in a specific org.

    How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive without starting that drive

    Why mess with this? Well, I got the HDDs and the enclosure from my previous PPC, so I'd like to make use of it all without $pending again.
    I don't see any problems with using the card and drives on your new Mac. Hardware is too pricey to just leave behind if you can't help it. With the new drivers I suspect you'll be able to use your drives, I just don't think you'll be able to boot from them if the interface card requires drivers. They should still be very fast storage devices, and probably reliable due to the ongoing support the vendor has provided.
    I went through the same type of issue when I bought my Dual G4 1.42 Tower (upgraded from a Quadra 840AV ). Several of my devices were SCSI (I was into SCSI Wide/Fast drive arrays at the time for video capture), and I was able to use an Adaptec card for scanning for several years with Jaguar and Panther. I'd spent quite a bit of cash to ensure high quality and performance and didn't want to loose all of the investment. Eventually the SATA hard drives and other USB and Firewire replacements became so cheap and performance improved enough that loosing SCSI with Tiger was not a big deal. I do think I should get about 5 years of hardware compatibility with most products and I keep older Mac's around for dedicated services as long as they aren't a costly maintenance issue.
