    Need to know what kind of update i need to play downloaded vidos

    Try using VLC (just search for it on Google). It's an open source video player that will play most downloadable video files.

  • How do I know which version of Boot Camp Windows software to download

    I am trying to download the correct Windows utilities to install into a Win 7 - 32 bit installation on my mid-2010 Mac Mini. I am running MacOS 10.8.4. I cannot get the auto download feature in boot camp to work so I am trying to download the software manually. The problem is that there are 4 or 5 different Version 4 downloads. I have tried two and both times when I tried to install it in Windows it told me I had an incompatible installer program. I have wasted way too much time on this already and am really ready for some expert advice. For that matter I would also be interested in finding out why I keep getting a network error evertime I try to download it through boot camp.
    Thanks,
    Rick

  • How to update the codec on laptop 2 open my files downloaded from camcorder

    I recently purchased a Sony HDR-TG7VE Camcorder and have downloaded the software for this onto my laptop, however after downloading the movie clips onto my laptop I am unable to open the files.
    I contacted Sony and they said it is a problem with my laptop and I need to contact Toshiba to update the Codec.
    The message I am getting is "Windows cannot open this file. To open this file windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically or you can manually select from a list of programs installed on your computer.
    what do you want to do - use the web service to find the correct program
    - select a program from a list of installed programs"
    I am using windows vista business 32 bit operating system.
    The camcorder is an HD camcorder.

    It is really irresponsible to get such answer from cam manufacturer.
    They offer product and they must support you with this. it is logic that recorded files should be open on every PC desktop or notebook.
    Following their logic everyone who hast this cam and want to watch movies on PCs must contact PC manufacturers for support. It is really crazy.
    I don't know nothing about this cam but usually you should have some software dist with software that can help you to watch the movies or maybe to convert the files in other format and watch the movies with standard players like Windows media player or VLC player.

  • How can I prevent illustrator to override files downloaded from dropbox to double extension? .ai.ps

    This only happens with dropbox. When I download a file in .ai from the dropbox it assumes it as .ai.ps. However, if I use the synched files, such problem does not occur. I've contacted dropbox to see what they now about it and they responded did: "The Dropbox desktop client syncs files exactly as they exist in the Dropbox folder on your computer. It is possible that Illustrator saves multiple files when you save a document - the extra file may be a hidden file not visible in Finder, but if it is on the Dropbox website it exists in your Dropbox folder. I'd suggest asking Adobe for more information."
    Does someone know how to solve this?
    Thank you kindly

    Hi,
    False alarm. I discovered that there was a demo Version of Suitcase that wasn't visible in ControlPanel-> Programs and Features, but was still partially installed. I Manually cleaned out all the Suitcase remnants I could find and Photoshop now prints! Sorry.

  • How the system know which are Inventory cubes?while compres in ProcessChain

    Hi,Experts
    When I create a Cube compress in ProcessChain ,under the page there is a checkbox called No Maker for Inventory Cube,and I also know the Non-cumulative key figure can not be compress,
    My question is how the system know which are Inventory cubes? and many cube create from ourself.

    Hi,
    I think,
    - in the sap tables there are no information.
    - the program reads the infocube definition and check: is there a non-***. value?

  • Adobe Cloud has 2 different Muse programs.... how do I know which one is the newer better version?

    So I am new to Muse, and my Adobe Cloud has 2 different programs from Muse... how do I know which one is the newer better version?
    One Must program (Muse CC 2014.2)  has a black background when working on it... it looks like other Adobe programs such as Photoshop.
    The other one is light color (Muse CC) very similar to the black color Muse on functions.....
    One of the difference I notice is that the light color Muse has a few widgets in the library, while the black background Muse seems to have an empty library
    So... why are there 2 different Muse programs in my Adobe Cloud?

    Hi
    The latest version of Muse is 2014.2, so you need to uninstall another version of Muse manually.
    regarding the items in Library, you can add items in your library manually, as shown in this article
    Adobe Muse Help | Organizing and reusing design elements using Library panel
    Please let me know if you have any other query.

  • HT1451 If I have two iTunes libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on the desktop?

    If I have two or more iTunes Libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on my desktop?

    You cannot.
    When you sync to a new library, it will erase the current content.
    Use your backup copy of the old computer to copy everything to the new one.

  • How do I know which ssd is compatible with my MacBook Pro..

    My MacBook Pro would not boot up. Took it to the Genius Bar and found out that I need a new hard drive.  I want to replace it with a Solid State drive, but how do I know which one is compatible with my particular machine?
    <Personal Information Edited by Host>

    On a late 2008 MBP, you want an SSD that can handle Sata 1/2/3 so it can be used in this machine, and can be migrated all the way to a 2012 SATA machine. Machines later than 2012 primarily use PCIe flash and are not considered user-replacable.
    I have used a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB in a 2008 MBP. You can look at Crucial, OWC, Intel, Samsung brands.

  • How I can know which row is parent item code or child item in matrix?

    Hi,
    In marketing document, when insert a item into contents page, if it is a BOM then all child item will be inserted into matrix automatically. My question is when i view the rows in matrix how i can know which row is normal master item and which row is a child item row? From the UI, i can only see the child item code looks readonly but how i can know it in my add-on code? I tried to get the edittext box object from item No. cell, but i can't find any difference.
    Thanks!
    Lan

    Sorry, i found an issue when i try to retrieve the BOM Type column value. I am in adding mode, when i insert a BOM with components, the bom type will appears as "Component of a Sales BOM". But in the event, when I try to get the value from this cell (it is combobox), it gives another value which is not same with the one it appears in the matrix. Is anyone know how to solve my problem?
    Thanks!

  • How can I know which clients are connected to my network through express and which are connected through extreme?

    I have an airport express extending, through wireless, a network provided by an airport extreme. How can I know which clients are connected to my network through express and which are connected through extreme?
    Here you can see both routers:
    I would expect to some clients connected to the express, other than the extreme. And that's all I see: only the airport extreme appears as client of the airport express.
    Below, one can see the summary of the config for both routers.
    Would somebody explain it?
    Thanks,
