HT204382 Charmed AVI movie, Ghost Whisperer iTunes document VTS _01_1.VOB or IFO or BUP. Can i play these on a Mac?

Just wondered if there is a way of viewing/watching the above video format?
thanks

Download and install the VLC Player. Google search VLC Player Mac and get it from the Video LAN site.
The VLC Player is free and plays ALL video formats for the most part. I have used it religiously on all my computers and never had an issue with it.
As for the Mac Stock setup, VOB files will not play by default.

Would it be possible for me to download iTunes in Parallels and get the files into that and then onto my iPod?
Yes, you can download iTunes for Windows using Parallels. If planning on making purchases here and/or authorizing already purchased tracks (from your Mac iTunes library), you are permitted to authorize five (5) computers as per iTunes Store terms of use, regardless of computing platform. No need to create a separate new iTunes Store account.
However, judging from what you would like to do, your best bet would be to convert the WMAs to AAC/MP3 in iTunes-Windows (iTunes-Mac cannot import WMA files), and drag the files from the Parallels window to your desktop to add to the iTunes-Mac library. (as the iPod itself is currently linked to your iTunes-Mac library)
Hope this helps,
Steve

I cant' sync my ipod because it says"The iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. I can't download it because my MAC is version 10.5.8 and it won't accept the newer version of itunes. Any suggestions?

If you're using a fourth generation or earlier iPod touch, click here and download the software.
If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and an Intel Mac, buy Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store and run Software Update.
If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and a PowerPC Mac, buy a newer computer.

TS2776 i recently transferred my itunes file to a new pc. i am unable to play some songs i had imported to itunes and it says it cannot find the original folder. how can i play these files?

i recently had to rstore my pc. i had copied my itunes file to a flash drive and have since reinstalled it. Now, i am unablt to play certain imported files and have and exclamation mark. it says itunes cannot find the original folder. how can i play these songs if there is no other folder to find them in?

If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.
You can request a new password here http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/

HT5557 I have ibooks on my ipad that were downloaded under an old itunes account that is no longer active. How can I download these ibooks on other devices?

ibooks were downloaded onto my husband's ipad under a different itunes account (a @me account that is no longer active or accessible). he subsequently used our family itunes account. The ibooks he originally bought that are on his ipad I cannot access and I would like to be able to download these onto my ipad to read.
How can I access these books on my ipad?

Your best bet may be to try and connect that ipad to your itunes and go to file-devices-transfer purchases, and then see if you can add them to your device. I doubt this will work however as they have DRM that will tell you they dont belong to the account you're using.
It is likely you'll need to try and use the account they were purchased with to redownload them.

Transfer AVI movie file to Itunes to upload to Ipod Touch

Hi
Just got Ipod touch and have some movies/tv shows on desktop that I want to put to my ipod. Tried the Save file to library on itunes but nothing happens. Does anyone know how I can put these AVI files to my ipod touch.
Simple instructions appreciated, first ipod so still learning the ropes.

You need to find Windows software to convert .avi to .mp4 or .mov, then import that file into iTunes, then sync it.

HT4527 When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, even though all of songs were copied over, not all of them went to iTunes, some appear to be stored elsewhere. How can I find these songs, and how do I transfer them to iTunes?

When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, all my songs were copied over, but not all of them were stored in iTunes. It appears they are on the computer somewhere, but not on iTunes. Where are these other songs likely to be, and how can I get them onto iTunes? Because of this problem, Apple will not allow me to update my iPhone.

You may/must have had music files stored outside of your iTunes library.
I'd recommend going to the Finder and then via the search box look for files with mp3 aif m4a aac etc. depending on the music format your digital music had. With the list of files shown you should be able to learn which files were stored outside of your music > itunes folder
Chances are they could be burried somewhere under your documents, downloads, desktop, ... we all have different storage and organization habits.
Then when you find the missing files, on the new computer you can do add to library and go to the folder on the other computer where the missing files are - if your systems are networked - or sneak them over using a USB thumb drive or portable hard drive if you have lots of files, or if you like to have an extra backup of that music, copy to optical disc.

Hi, I lost some of my keynote documents during manage storage in icloud. How can i recover these documents in icloud so I can back it up to my ios devices? Because they were erased fro icloud itself! Thanks

How can I retrieve the lost data that I erase it accidentally from my icloud during manage storage of icloud?

I'm not sure you can unless you have a Mac with a back up.
Whilst it won't help you recover documents that have already become corrupt, can I suggest you get into the habit of backing up your documents in the cloud regularly.

Apple TV (Gen 2&3) takes several hours to load a movie from the iTunes Library

I know this had been discussed before, but a went through all posts that I could find and never found a solution. I will list below everything I have tried and if anyone else has ANY ideas I would be extremely greatful to hear them! To reiterate the issue any time I try to play a movie from MY iTunes library it takes several hours before it will even start playing. Now, to what I have already tried...
1. I cycled my router first and after that didn't work I completely took it back to default settings. My router is an Apple Airport Extreme
2. I completely uninstalled iTunes and then reinstalled it with full library, and then I also tried with just one movie in my library that I know used to work. My home computer is a Windows 7 PC.
3. I restarted my Apple TV, and also bought a Gen. 3 Apple TV and tried it new out of the box.
4. I have tried to stream on both WiFi and hooked up to an Ethernet Cable.
5. I have tried with all firewalls turned off on the PC and router.
6. I have ended home sharing on all devices and restarted home sharing on just the Apple TV and PC.
7. I have turned off all devices using WiFi in the home.
That is all I can think of off hand so if you have any other ideas please do not hesitate to chime in so I can try something else. Do know that my Apple TV used to not have any issues and worked great since I irst purchased the Gen. 1 Apple TV.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I have the same problem. I just purchased the Apple TV software 5.0. Apple TV is working other than downloading movies. I have been trying to download one movie for the past two days. I have a wireless network, using AT&T DSL. I have tested the connection using the test option in the Settings area of the Apple TV, which passes.
I have also tried rebooting my Apple Tv and turned off all other wireless options. I am able to download Netflix movies using the PS3 without a problem, why not on my Apple TV. I hope I didn't just purchase this device to stream music and photos.
I hope someone has a solution to this problem.
By the way I just upgraded my modem and router (Airport Extreme).
Thanks for the help!!!!

I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hard drive. I have converted some of my AVI movies to mp4 and transferred them to the hard drive, but when I play them through my iPad 2 I can hear the sound but not see the movie. Help???

I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hardrive , i have converted some of my AVI movies to MP4 and loaded them onto the hard drive, when I try and play them through my I pad2 I can hear the sound of the movie but not see the film, somebody please help, what am I doing wrong as I have spent a lot of time converting these movies to be able to travel with my iPad and watch them. Thank you

Unfortunately, the drive is pretty much restricted without hacking it. That is, you can't stream its content via standardized protocols like UPnP, SMB, FTP and the like. This makes you won't be able to access its content from any third-party apps otherwise capable of playing back AVI files from UPnP / SMB / FTP / WebDAV etc. sources.
While this is certainly not a recommendation (I can in no way be held responsible if anything goes wrong): you may want to consider extending the capabilities of the drive by installing the hack: http://www.hackseagatesatellite.com/wordpress/welcome/
It'll "open" the drive for third-party, AVI-capable multimedia apps like GoodPlayer, It's Playing etc. to directly play the files over the network.

.AVI movie player?

I have a Power PC Mac running 10.5.8. If I download an .avi movie file i get a message saying Quicktime requires additional software. Can someone point me at the right Quicktime plug-in, or some other Mac software which will allow me to watch .avi movies please?
Thanks
P.s. not quicktime Pro

Hi,
AVI is only a container or "wrapper" the actual codec is inside the container. If you open the movie inspector it will tell you what the codec is under "format". You can then go to this link to see if the codec is supported.

I cannot play .avi movies in iMovie - any advice?

Hi, I cannot play or import any of my .avi movies from my camera to imovie. I can play them in iPhoto and using Quicktime, is there any way I can edit them using iMovie? My digital camera only records in .avi. Can anyone help

I cannot play or import any of my .avi movies from my camera to imovie.
Your audio and/or video compression format on these files is not import/edit compatible with iMovie '08. onvert it as needed. Casio digital cameras, for instance, produce an AVI file container with MJPEG video which is compatible with iMovie '08 and a DVI ADPCM audio track which is not.
I can play them in iPhoto and using Quicktime,
Files can be "playback" only compatible with QT applications, "conversion" compatible (i.e. they play and convert but cannot be edited), or "fully" compatible -- i.e., they playback, convert, and can be edited in their "native" compression format.
is there any way I can edit them using iMovie?
AVI files can be edited in iMovie '08 as long as the offending track(s) can be converted properly to a compatible format.

Apple TV 2nd Generation slow streaming for Movies from my iTunes

Just taken delivery of a 2nd Generation AppleTV. Everything works but when selecting a movie from my iTunes library it takes a very, very long time before it plays. I can fast forward and reverse but cannot play. Sometimes it takes 15 to 20 minutes before I can play it. Is there anything I can do to improve this? I could go and get the DVD and play it in my DVD player much faster than this.

I have the same problem with mine: the Apple TV 2 is so slow to start streaming movies I initially thought it wasn't working at all. I'd select a movie, and after many minutes of no result I'd cancel and try another. Turns out it's just so slow I though it wasn't functional.
My setup: movies on iMac (current model 27" i7, OS X 10.6.5), stock internal drive, Airport Express running 7.4.2 in 201.11n only mode 2.4 GHz), no other computers or devices on the network.
I tried swapping in a wired router and connected everything via Ethernet, but it made no difference.
Also tried selecting a movie, waiting the incredibly long time for it to start streaming, and then cancelling out and starting all over with the same movie (to see if it caches). The problem persists.
I wondered if it was the size of my movie library. I have about 230 movies in iTunes. So I tried leaving the Apple TV in "browse your movies" mode overnight to see if it needed time to prefetch things from the movie library. That didn't work either.
I've tried a couple dozen movies from various sources (home movie from iMovie, DVD ripped by Handbrake using both "Apple TV" and "Apple Universal" settings, and Ripit), without any change. I'm going to try the many-chapters idea and made a movie with tons of chapters to see if that helps (will report back).

TS3772 How can I play my movie? It's asking me to download quicktime and I already did... twice

Can you check something for me please? I'd like to try doing a "Run as administrator" on your iTunes.
Quit iTunes first.
In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
If you have a 32-bit Windows, open the "Program files" folder.
If you have a 64-bit Windows, open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
Open the "iTunes" folder.
Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
Can you play the movie without the QuickTime message now?

I can't play a show i bought on iTunes?

A message pops up saying "this movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes". I also have the rest of the season but 3 episodes cannot play due to that. I have the newest version of iTunes. How can i play these episodes? Thanks!!

Either buy the $99 Apple TV or
Connect the MBpro to the TV with a HDMI cable.
