HT3775 How do I open videos with my Apple that were created on a PC?

I have an equine program for veterans and I need to show some VIP's some video footage but the person who burned the DVD did it on his PC. My apple lap top will not let me see the videos in Quick Time. I down loaded a converter but it didnt make it work. Please help, I have a presentation on Monday.

It varies depending on the format, but most likely requires Perian or VLC, or Flip4Mac for unprotected Windows Media content, or isn't possible on Mac OS X.

Can't open projects with Imovie 5 that were created with earlier version

I can't open my Imovie projects that I created when using Mac OS 9.2 now that I'm using Tiger and Imovie 5.
I'm not sure what version of Imovie I created them with. Do I need to find an earlier version and open them in the classic environment, or is there some way of converting or importing them?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Theoretically iMovie 5 can convert old projects, but projects created in Mac OS 9.2 can be quite difficult, for OS 9 is very different than OS X. More about that here:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=1677339
Your best option is to use the version of iMovie that you used originally to edit the project. If the projects are really old, that may require starting up your Mac in Mac OS 9 (instead of running iMovie in the Classic environment, which is Mac OS 9 running inside Mac OS X.)
Your best solution may be to boot up in Mac OS 9 and use your old version of iMovie to export the project back to the camera, then boot into Mac OS X and import the tape into iMovie 5.
If you don't have a camera, export to a Full Quality DV movie, then import that movie into iMovie 5.
The camera will (probably) deliver the clips to iMovie 5 as clips, while the export to a Full Quality DV movie will not.
By the way, to see which version of iMovie last edited the project, drop the project file on the TextEdit icon in the Dock. The version is shown at the top of the file.
iMovie 2.1.2 was the first version to run in OS X, I believe. The last version to run in OS 9 had the same version number, unfortunately.
If your Mac doesn't let you start up in Mac OS 9, then say more about exactly what happens when you try to convert the project. Do you get error messages? What are they?

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud. When I go to the mac app store it says pages 5.0 is installed, but Pages says it's running 4.3. I just want to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad.

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud, but the mac app store says its already installed and won't let me upgrade. when I check the version of pages I am running it says 4.3. I just want to be able to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad. How can i get Pages 5.0?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got Pages 5.0, but you still have got Pages 4.3, so Pages 4.3 is being opened instead of the newest version, being this the reason why you get a message telling you to update Pages to the most recent version.
If you don't need the old version, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete the old Pages icon or move it to an external drive. I don't recommend you to do this, as users are complaining about the lack of features of the new version.
Instead, what you can do is to put the new Pages icon in the Dock by dragging it from the Finder window to the Dock, so you can open the new Pages version from the Dock and you can open all your documents with it after opening the application

Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

Cannot open files in Captivate 5 that were create using Captivate 5.5

I created a few videos using Adobe Captivate version 5.5 using the trial version.
After a few days i got the license for Adobe Captivate 5 and im trying to open the files that i created using Adobe captivate 5.5.
When i try to open the files Captivate shows up an error message telling 'The file might already be open or it does not exist'.
I understand they are two different versions. Has someone faced anything like this before ? Please let me know if you have solutions to open the files i have created.
Thanks
Chetan

You can only open Cp 5.5 files with Cp 5.5.
There is no solution for opening these files in Cp 5 version.
May I ask, why did you not get a license of Cp 5.5? It's been around for over 6 months now.

Can't open .inx files in CS3 that were created in CS2

I am presented with a message..
'Indesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
This happens when I open a .inx file from it's location by double clicking on it and also if I open CS2 and use the file>open route...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Bear in mind that when you open a CS2 .inx with CS3 (assuming that it works), there is no information about the CS2 composition in the file, so CS3 composes everything. Thus, you might well see reflow that you won't see if you just open a CS2 file with CS3.
On the other hand, if you do open a CS2 .indd with CS3 with the intention of doing further work on it, be prepared for that reflow to suddenly happen the moment you start trying to edit any text.
This is actually a good argument for going the .inx route in the first place -- all surprises of layout and composition hit you in the face immediately rather than happening hapharzardly as you work with the document.
You could use the Document Reflow command (Ctrl + Alt + /) after opening the .indd to get the composition changes over with in one swell foop.

Opening INDD files in Windows7 that were created on a Mac

I'm not even really sure if this is a PC - Mac issue but here goes.....
I am having performance issues, particularly with type, switching between tools and updating links. All of these seemingly simple tasks are inordinately slow. The INDD CS6 docs were created on an iMac with an i7 processor and plenty of RAM (I know because I created the documnets). Now I am having to open these CS6 docs at another location using a Dell with an i7 quad core and 24 gigs of RAM running Windows7. The issue seems to effect docs that are very graphic heavy. On the other hand other Mac generated docs open and run just fine on this Dell. Both the imac and the pc being used are heavily equipped and shouldn't have any problems.
One note: all the files in question were sent via a browser based FTP connection.
Can anyone help or am I doomed to watching the little blue ring in windows7 spin forever?

Thanks. I knew about the missing font issue. Once those were loaded or replaced performance got a little better. However, I didn't know about the color profile issue. I switched the application to use the working profile rather than the document profile and that seemed to help. These files in particular that I'm having issues with were also transferred via ftp and during the time frame they were transferred there were some strange anomalies when downloading or uploading to the ftp. The files could be slightly damaged but not enough to destroy the file completely.
Thanks for your help.

Opening .indd files in CS5 that were created in a newer version

I need to open .indd files in InDesign CS5. Apparently those files were created in a newer version of InDesign, to which I do NOT have access in order to create legacy (IDML) versions of those files. What is the "fix" for this issue?

I'm trying to create my organization's newsletter from .indd files that the previous editor created in a "free trial version" without also saving them as .idml files. Now that version is expired and I'm not even sure what version it was, though I suspect it may have been CS6. I was able to open an .idml file from another author that had been created in CS5.5 as I had access to all the links and fonts in the zipped folder.
So what you are telling me is that these files are useless to me unless I upgrade my InDesign version? I don't have that kind of a "budget".

Opening photos on a PC that were created on a Mac

Hello everyone:
I imagine there is a very basic solution to this problem, but I'm having difficulty finding an answer.
I use Macs. When I send photos or video clips (as email attachments) to people who have PCs, they can't open them. The photos are JPEG files, and the video clips are AVI files.
Sometimes they get the following dialogue box: "file does not have a program
associated with it for performing this action. Create an associated in folder
option control panel."
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Steve

Templeton's right.Windows need the file extension to assign which application opens it. Additionally you can check the box that asks you to send "Windows friendly attachments", in the window pane through which you choose the file you wish to attach.

P.S.- my objective (what I was looking for) were the step by step instructions on how to straighten a photo

To automatically straighten the image and leave the canvas around the image, choose Image >> Rotate >> Straighten Image.
The straightened image contains areas of blank background, but no pixels are clipped.
To automatically straighten and crop the image, choose Image >> Rotate >> Straighten And Crop Image.
The straightened image does not contain areas of blank background, but some pixels are clipped.
If you have a photo with an horizon you can drag a line along it with the straighten tool.

Opening Videos with safari?

Hi all,
I am having trouble opening videos with the new safari public beta, safari always downloads the file i click on, whereas in explorer or mozilla it could open the videos through media player or an equivalent without download but using the temp folder, the videos would basically stream. How can i acheive this with this new browser. All help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I'm betting Safari 3 for Windows is taking a page from Safari 2 for Mac, in that it either opens video in the browser window (Quicktime movies, for example), or downloads the video to your Desktop. Unlike Firefox it's historically never had the option to just open something directly without electing a download. This presumably simplifies file management by eliminating the need for large temp files that can, if unchecked, become bloated with leftover downloads.
You can set Safari to open so-called 'safe' downloads automatically after download, producing the same effect as Firefox's "Open With" option. It should be on by default, but you can check it's status in a plist file (it should be someplace in Preferences, but I don't see it yet, perhaps not implimented, or perhaps I'm just blind) located at C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\Preferences.plist
Verify the following property is set to true:
<key>AutoOpenSafeDownloads</key>
<true/>
