How to play MPG's when attached to Gmail message

I have only had my Thunderbolt for a few weeks. I use Gmail as my primary email program. I recently received an email message with two videos attached. One was a WMV and the other was an MPG. When I clicked on PreView, in Gmail, to play the MPG video, I saw a blue bar and the text reading Loading and then I received an error message "Sorry, this type of document is not supported for viewing". I was advised to install ArcMedia. I can download and play an MPG movie with ArcMedia, on the Thunderbolt. There is no option to Download an Attachment, in Gmail, on the Thunderbolt. There is just PreView.
I do not know how to make ArcViewer the default Media Player. When I installed VitalPlayer Neon, and clicked on PreView to play the attached MPG file, it just kept flashing between Portrait and Landscape and did not play anything.

By regular mail, do you mean setting up the Mail icon to pull down Gmail? Does that download my InBox to the Thunderbolt or does it leave it up on the Gmail server like the Gmail app does?
I do not understand why a media player, like ArcMedia, cannot be set as the default so that I can click on Preview and it will launch ArcMedia and play the MPG.
I downloaded and installed Download All Files. Now, when I click on Preview, it allows me to download the MPG, but then I have to open ArcMedia, find the file, and play it. If I just go to the Download folder and double click on the MPG, it will not play.
I do not know how often I will be receiving MPG attachments, but it is very time consuming if I have to Download, OpenArcMedia, and search for the file, each time I want to play it.

    After updating to Mavericks, I can't seem to open files to attach to gmail messages. I can still drag and drop into them, but I'm unable to click on my documents through the paperclip icon on the bottom of composing my message.  Anyone else know a solution or facing the same issue?

  • Firefox crashes when printing a Gmail message or attachment

    ID: 911954ff-c73d-41fe-bbdb-727902140624
    Firefox crashes whenever I try to print a Gmail message or attachment. Within a message, I click the down arrow and select "Print." The usual print dialog box opens, but when I click "Print" here, Firefox crashes completely.
    Same thing happens if I click on an attachment and click the "print" icon...or open the attachment in Preview and try to print it.
    I'm running up-to-date Firefox 30.0 on Mac OS 10.6.8.

    Hmm, it started happening again, and this time the suggestions above did not fix the problem. Last time, setting another printer as the default worked.
    This time, changing the default printer didn't help. Neither did clicking the "reset Firefox" button.
    I also tried shutting down and restarting the Minolta BizHub that I am trying to print to.
    I can print fine to another printer.
    It worked fine since June 24, my last post.

  • How to use "On My Mac" folders for gmail messages on two MacBooks

    I am currently using a MacBook and a MacBook Air simultaneously and would like to shift email messages from my gmail account to "on my mac" folders on both computers because I receive message of the same topic from different email accounts. However, as soon as I move a gmail message from my IMAP account to an "on my mac" folder it will be removed from the server and it will not download on my other Mac.
    The only solution I found is switching the gmail IMAP account to a POP account and tell the server to keep all messages so I can download them on both Macs and move them into an "on my mac" folder. But Mail 4.3 will not allow me to create a gmail POP account, it automatically assumes I want to create an IMAP account as I tap the "+" button in setting->accounts and enter my details.
    How do I tell Mail 4.3 that I want to create a gmail POP account and not an IMAP account?
    Is there maybe another solution to my problem other than changing to a POP account?
    Thanks a lot for your support!

    Hello tjlj
    Try just exporting out the mailboxes from the old computer, putting them on a flash drive and then importing them in using the import feature in Mail. If you are not using Lion, the steps to export are still the same.

  • Gifs changing to Blurry Jpgs when attached to Mail Messages

    Hi,
    I frequently pass screen shots to colleagues via email. I usually save these as gifs. When I attach a gif to an email, it automatically converts to a jpg and becomes extremely blurry. If I go to my provider's email browser and attach the same files, they remain as gifs and are crisp and clean but this is a hassle.
    What's up with Mail?

    I've been a cell phone user since the early days of analog cellular. Back in the days of brick phones, of which I was a user.
    I've been a customer of of Cellular One, Ameritech, Verizon, T Mobile, Cingular and AT&T.
    I've never experienced loosing my voice mail as I did today.
    I considered my voice mail broken since I could not access my visual voice mail on my phone, I could not reset my voice mail on my phone (following the prompts on my phone) and no one could leave me a voice mail message if they called me. I called AT&T customer support and they could not get my voice mail working. I'm not sure what more could be broken, but I would classify my voice mail as broken.
    You may find it acceptable to have your voice mail broken (or perhaps cut off) if you change your data plan, but I don't think that's acceptable.
    I don't see how I made a major change to my account. I didn't make any changes to the types of data I can send or receive. The only change I made was to opt for a lower cost plan that delivers all the same data. That change resulted in all 5 members of my family plan to loose their voice mail.
    You may be correct that all this needed was for it to be reset. But, I can't reset it. The customer service person could not reset it. It took the tech support person to be able to reset it. All of which was about an hour on the phone.
    I don't think this experience should be typical. Maybe it isn't. Maybe for some strange reason, in my circumstance something more went wrong. But, that's not what AT&T told me. They told me what I experienced is typical.
    So, I thought I would post this for people that might experience this issue, or think about changing their data plan so that they would know what to do.
    But, perhaps I was wrong in using this Discussion site to post what I thought might be helpful.
    I'm sorry. I will (as I told a previous poster) delete this post. As soon I as I figure out how.

  • The print font is gigantic when printing gmails only. How do I reset the size of the font when printing a gmail message only.

    Only when attempting to print a gmail does this occur, but the print size is so large that it takes 3-4 pieces of paper to print something that should be a short half page. Font must be about a 48 size.

    orange Firefox button > Print -> Print Preview
    Use the '''Scale''' control to change the "print" type size to what works best for you. Note that once you change the scale Firefox will remember that setting for the next use of printing.

  • Qt won't play .mpg - long load time for .wmv

    2 questions about qt:
    1) why won't qt play .mpg files when VLC plays them with no problems?
    2) why does it take sooooo long for qt to load a .wmv file (I assume it's using flip4mac) when VLC loads it almost instantaneously?
    thanks.
    btw, using latest version of qt (10.0) on the latest version of Mac OSX (10.6.7)

    1) why won't qt play .mpg files when VLC plays them with no problems?
    While the MPG file extension is normally associated with multiplexed MPEG-1 video content on a Mac, this is not true for other platform users. For instance, the file may alternately contain anything from a simple MP3 audio stream to multiplexed MPEG-2 video or even AVCHD with AC3 audio. So in order to answer your question specifically, you need to tell us what specific form of compressed data is contained within the file. Basically, VLC provides its own built-in codec support which does not rely on your Mac component configuration while basic Mac support is limited to "playback only" compatibility of "muxed" MPEG-1 video with layer layer 1 or layer 2 audio unless you purchase/install specific additional component support like the Apple MPEG-2 Playback video only component and even then you would have to use a secondary application like MPEG Streamclip to to handle/bridge the synchronization of several audio formats.
    2) why does it take sooooo long for qt to load a .wmv file (I assume it's using flip4mac) when VLC loads it almost instantaneously?
    VLC plays the WMV data directly "on the fly" while the Flip4Mac component must read the entire file and cache the partially decoded data for direct playback by the QT player. You can avoid this delay by simply saving the partially expanded file data to an MOV file container using the "Save/Save As..." option. The resulting MOV file, however, will be much larger than the original WMV file.

  • How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

    How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

    It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop.  And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure  what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?
