How to open "wmv"?

Never figured out how to open "wmv" files from PC friends. How do I do that. Thanks. Ol' Jim.

Thanks Neil...New question re Leopard. In old days when machine would slow down, emptying trash cache and setting it with Tech Tool Pro did the trick. Today with inability to set the trash cache, my G5 Power Mac OS 10.4.11, CPU Speed 1.8 GHz and 768 MB Memory with thousands of files/folders and many apps takes 30 seconds to open. No problem. But, my G5 Pro Mac OS 10.5.7, 2 GHz Processor Speed and 1 GB Memory without all the files takes one minute to open. Always use "Secure Empty Trash. Can't figure out why the Pro Mac is slowing down. Any ideas. Thanks. Ol' Jim.

    I am trying to open a .wmv file on my Macbook Air. Flip4Mac doesn't work for OS X 10.9.1. Any other players suggested or ideas?

    Try using VLC.
    If that WMV file contains DRM, no Mac OS X software will open it.

  • Can't open WMV files in Quicktime. How can I reinstall Quicktime?

    For some reason I am unable to open WMV files in Quicktime even though I have Flip4Mac Player Pro (WMV files played fine in Quicktime until recently).
    ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Quicktime X is a great little piece of software. However, Quicktime X is very finicky on which codec/file format it can decode/play.
    Luckily, there are DOZENS of alternative video/media players and extensions available for the Mac. Some of them are even FREE. Some of the better FREE ones include...
    PERIAN (quicktime extension)
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22923/perian
    QUICKTIME 7.6.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
    VLC Media Player
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5758/vlc-media-player
    NICEPLAYER
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15136/niceplayer
    ... And if none of those work, there is a possibility that, that video file may be corrupted.

  • How can I open .wmv files in a browser on my MacBook Pro?

    I know that a person that owns a Mac can open .wmv files in third-party programs such as Flip 4 Mac (Flip Player), but is it possible to open .wmv files in a browser?
    Thanks,
    Karen

    You may open word processing documents using Apple's Pages. Numbers may open spreadsheets. Nothing appears to open databases, however.
    If you have access to an older system that runs AW6, then you can export your documents to a compatible format for newer applications.

  • How to open attachment in mail

    I am new to Mac. I have been receiving .wmv attachments with some e-mails and do not know how to open them. I double click the icon and just get a bunch of "code" or whatever it is. Is there a way to open these attachments?

    Hello froesgirl:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    The other posters are correct. As a bit of background, Microsoft stopped supporting WMV for Macs sometime ago (apparently they have started again, as I just learned). However, they did provide a free link to Flip4Mac that allows WMV files to play in Quicktime.
    This link will give you two options:

    I use Flip4Mac myself and it works very well.

  • Quicktime opening WMV. files

    When I try and open WMV. files that should open in Windows Media Player, it opens them in Quicktime in the browser window. How do I change the settings so it plays in Windows Media Player?

    Another easy way to change file type associations is to right click on a file, click Open With... then chose the program you want to use to open the file with, and then on the bottom of that page, make sure that the check box is selected. It should say something like "Always use this program for this file extension." Or something to that effect.

  • HT3775 how to open a video file that is different format

    how to open media plyer video file in mac?

    If you're talking about Windows Media files (WMV, WMP, etc.) then Flip4Mac will allow most (unless they have DRM) to be played in QuickTime.  VLC will also play them.  There may be other solutions.
    Good luck

  • Help, how to open and display blobs from tables

    Dear all,
    I am trying to store ms-word files on a table using a blob column.
    Does anyone how to open the files and display them from a form using 9iAS?
    Thank you.

    And there may be, but you won't likely find that here. Do some time searching Google and maybe you'll find code that someone was nice enough to make freely available, although I wouldn't count on it. Were i a programmer and took the time to read those docs and write the code, I'd want to be paid for my time. But there are a lot of programmers who swear by freeware! You may get lucky.
