to see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie

Generally, this requires installing Perian, or the free version of Flip4Mac if the movie is an unprotected WMV file, or using VLC. Some formats, such as protected WMV files, can't be played in Mac OS X.

    Dear Apple, i took 4 videos from my friend's windows 8 pc but all of them shown a error that To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More." what should i do now? please help me Apple

    If the videos are .wmv files, VLC from VideoLAN will play them and pretty much any other media format.
    BTW, we are not Apple; we're just users like yourself.

  • HT204382 a .flv document could not be opened. The movies file format isn't recognised. Is there additional software available that will enable quicktime to open the movie

    I wanted to view a document with a .flv extention (0.1. Launchpad.flv) on my mac book pro. The following message came up
    The document "o.1. Launchpad.flv " could not be opened.
    The movie's file format could not be recognised
    Is there some  additional software is available that will enable quicktime to open the movie?

    I'd get VLC & try that, although Perian may still work to play within quicktime, but it's no longer being developed.

  • HT204382 how do i enable quicktime to play a codec movie file?

    I have a video that will not play.  The error message says that a required codec isnt available.  To see if additional sotware is available that will enable quicktime player to open movie.  Any ideas?

    Download VLC Player for Mac.  This should play that video. 
    - http://vlc-media-player.en.softonic.com/mac.
    The codec that is embeded into that video, is not compatible with Quicktime.  As it is a .avi file, VLC player should work for you.

    How much of a hurry are you in, and are you considering upgrading to Lion?
    File Vault on Snow Leopard only encrypts home folders you select, and doesn't work well with Time Machine.
    But Lion will have "full disk encryption" of local or external disks.  See File Vault 2 here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html

    Skype would be a possibility for phone calls, though I don't know if it's available in SA. Search the iTunes Store for "SMS" and you'll quickly see if there are any SMS apps you can try.

  • I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?that will play audio please

    I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?

    The genuine Apple adapter works for me, most cheap knockoffs do not support sound ,it is usually in the micro print at bottom of the ebay offerring
    It is pricey by comparison but it works and the knock offs usually don't pay the patent  licence fee hence they guess the technology that is in the lightning plug
    and charge a minimal price

    I have numerous music movie clips that I have not purchased through iTunes, Is it possible to stream these "home" movies using iTunes to apple TV?
    And if iTunes will not allow it, is there another complete program available that I can purchase to have my music movie clips stream to a TV and/or another computer?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks, Winston C, I've actually tried everything you suggested. I'm thinking now that the Home Sharing problem likely is related to Bonjour--I've seen several people mention this with similar (but not identical) problems. The solution that seems to work for some people is to uninstall and reinstall Bonjour. Frankly, I don't want to go through the trouble given that the iOS 7 release is imminent.
    One thing that I haven't tried is resetting the ATV to factory settings. I'll give that whirl.
    Thanks for your advice!

  • Is there a cable available that will connect an I pad to an older printer?

    Is there a cable available that will connect an I pad to a printer?

    If you have a Mac or PC there are utilities available that enable them to act as a print server, enabling you to print to any printer the Mac or PC can use.
    The donation-supported handyPrint and a commercial product such as Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) are two examples. The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options may exist but you're on your own finding them.
    You can also buy this standalone print server:
    http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
    These options enable you to use any printer available to your network, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades. But as Bob said, everything you do with an iPad is wireless.

  • Is there any third party software for itunes that will do this:

    Is there any third party software for itunes that will organize the browser window. Ideally I would like the third browser window (album name) organized by "main albums" "compilations" "bootlegs" "singles"
    It would look like this for the Beatles
    Main
    1963 Please Please Me
    1965 Help
    etc.
    Compilations
    1970 Red Album
    1990 Greatest Hits
    etc.
    Bootlegs
    1985 Ultratrax 1
    etc.
    CD Singles
    1999 Whatever
    This info would be marked on either the info or option tab when labeling.
    If this has not been made, one of you nerds should make it, it would be great and you could charge $3 for it and I buy it. and so would 100,000 other people.

    If you haven't already, try looking through the Apple Downloads specifically for iTunes.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/
    There might be something there that is at least similar to the app your looking for.
    edit: There is one shareware that is an iTunes plugin called Multi-tunes. With it you can create multiple iTunes libraries, one library called "Main" one called "Bootlegs" etc, and Multi-Tunes will allow you to quickly switch between them from within the iTunes window. Not exactly what your looking for but close.

    Currently have access to a friends computer with CS3 installed.I am going to buy a desktop with Windows 8 and I also have a laptop with Windows 7. What version of Photoshop is currently available that will work on both the desktop and the laptop? Can I install the same copy of Photoshop on the both machines simultaneously?

    You can either buy a CS6 perpetual license, or Creative Cloud subscription.  Both will run on the two computers you mention.  You are allowed two installation with either version, but they must be for the same user. There is a cheap as chips Photography deal that gives you Photoshop and Lightroom for just $10/month, and feature gap is ever widening between CS6 and CC

    Did you change the ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID? Tap the old ID and sign out and then sign in with the new one. If not running iOS 6 it will be Settings>Stores>Apple ID.

  • Is there a teleconverter available that will mount to a Canon EF S lens?

    I have a new Rebel T5i with EF S lenses but I Alamo have a Kenko 2X teleconverter. As I understand the Kenko will not mount to the EF S lens. Are there teleconverters available that will mount to EF S lenses?

    The "S" in EF-S stands for "Short backfocus".  The rear-most element on an EF-S lens sits farther back than it does on an EF lens... and typically proturdes just slightly beyond the lens mounting flange.  The lens is designed to mount on something with a hollow cavity to accomodate the short backfocus.  Teleconverters aren't unlikely to provide enough space.
    But that's just the "tip of the iceberg".  
    When you use a teleconverter, you have to multiply both the focal length AND the focal ratio by the teleconverter factor.  It's the focal ratio that can be a problem.  I'll use an example to illustrate why.
    Suppose you have a Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 lens and, hypothetically, you found a 2x teleconverter for it.  This would convert the lens into a 36-270mm (that part makes sense) lens with an f/7-11 focal ratio range.  Notice how I had to multiple the focal ratios?  
    The "problem" with this, is that camera generally cannot auto-focus at high focal ratios.   The Canon 1D X and 5D III can both auto-focus at f/8... but that's it.  No other Canon camera can do this (and it's the same for Nikons... most cannot).  They're designed to auto-focus up to f/5.6 and there are 3rd party lenses where f/6.3 might be the best you can do... and AF works on them -- but you're really pressing the limits at that point.    This means you might get the lens to focus at f/7... but that's only available when you're zoomed all the way "out" to the 36mm end.  As soon as you zoom IN (and the whole point of the teleconverter is to let you zoom in more becuase the lens would have provided 36mm natively without using the 2x teleconverter) you're jumping up beyond f/8 where there's absolutely no way the AF system is going to work.
    The focal ratio limits for the AF system aren't arbitrary.  If I hand you a 35mm film camera with manual focus and a split prism focusing aid in the viewfinder, but dial the focal ratio down to f/8 and have you try to focus with it, what you'll discover is that you can get one half of the split prism "moon" to show the image but the other half will be black.  Barely move your eyeball and they'll reverse... the other half is visible but the first half is now black.  It's near impossible to get both halves visible at the same time to allow focus because of the way the prisms work (even manually).
    Teleconverters work best on lenses that have low focal ratios to begin with... e.g. f/2.8 lenses when using a 2x teleconverter (which turns it into an f/5.6 lens) or f/4 lenses if using a 1.4x teleconvert (which also turns it into an f/5.6 lens).
    But even after all of that... the teleconverter will noticeably degrade your optical quality.  It's never as good as if you didn't have to use a teleconverter.  
    I have a Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM lens... that was a pretty expensive piece of glass (I think it was around $4k).  If I put a 2x teleconverter on it (and I can -- it works)... I get optical quality out of it that looks like I bought a $200 lens.  
    Part of the reason this happens is teleconverters are a bit generic.  They aren't tuned for one specific lens.  Canon makes an $11k lens with a built-in 1.4x teleconverter and it's remarkable.  But that built-in TC was optimized and tuned for that one lens only.
