You can install Perian,

although this will be the last version, and Flip4Mac.

Otherwise you may have to look at a different and more extensive player such as VLC

or MPEGStremclip

    My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

    Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
    The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
    As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
    1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
    2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
    Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

  • How many types i can import as file in FLA and what's the differences ??

    Hello
    How many types i can import as file in FLA and what's the differences ??

    you wouldn't import a .as file. 
    you could open it in the flash ide (or any text editor) and edit it.
    you could  create a fla and assign a document class which flash will compile into your swf.
    you could create a library object in a fla, tick export for actionscript and assign a class that flash will compile that class into your swf.
    you could instantiate a class object (using the "new" constructor) in a flash movieclip timeline or in another class file and flash will compile that class into your swf.
    for Workers to extend a class use something like:
    package
    import Citizens;
          public class Workers  extends Citizens
           protected var baseSalary:Number = 1000;
               public function Workers()
                   super();
              public function receivePayment():Number
                    return this.baseSalary;

  • I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

    Hi Crushed,
    Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
    Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.

  • How can i telnet or get access to other LAN members in LAN without using third party software?

    I have admin access to the main  router in our LAN, so how can i telnet or get access to other LAN  members in LAN without using third party software?
    its linksys3500 router and  i login as admin using the gateway address in address bar..
    i  want to access the c drive of my colleague in same subnet in same  office and i know his ip address.but he not configured telnet accept  request.so without it how can i open his telnet port and access him

    I think you are using the wrong terminology. You can browse the hidden share of any pc if you know the ip and have a valid user account on the pc by typing in the following \\computername\c$ or \\ipaddress\c$ . It should prompt you for a user account. You may have to allow this through the windows firewall (or disable it completely).

    How can I fix corrupted audiobooks category--plays too fast and is gravelly? Other music categories are unaffected..

    You can enable disk use in iTunes and browse your iPod, or you can restore your iPod so everyting on it would be erased.

  • HT204150 How did my family end up with with others contacts and how do I resolve??

    How did my family end up with with others contacts and how do I resolve??

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    One way this would occur, is if you were to be sharing your iCloud account with other users. Ideally each person should have their own iCloud account.
    I note in another of your threads, that you say you have lost your phone. It's possible that someone has found it and has started to use your iCloud account on it.

  • I purchased a new computer and want to import music from other computers and sources to my hard drive, how do I import the actual songs and not the links?

    I purchased a new computer. I would like to import all of my music from my other computers and external hard drives. I want to only import the physical songs not "Links". Also not duplicates. How do I do this?

    Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the Copy... option is ticked. This will ensure any files you drag to the library get copied into your library's media folder.
    If the same content appears at more than one location, or you add it more than once, then iTunes will create dupes. There isn't really any way to avoid that, but I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove them. See this thread for background.

  • While running how do I get my podcast to play one song and move to the next and not skip to the next after a few seconds into the song?

    I recently started running and downloaded the Couch to 5K webcasts, while running how do I get my podcast to play one song in it's entirety and move to the next and not skip to the next after a few seconds into the song?  I beleive it's the motion of the running that is causing it, is there a setting I need to change?

    Hello nowrunning,
    Is the "Shake to Shuffle" option turned on in your iPod's settings?  To check, head to Settings -> Music -> Shake to Shuffle and make sure it is set to Off.

  • Using the Import utility from other users and going to a different schema

    I has a user today with rights
    Insert into XXXX.TABLE values(); Works just fine for another schema's table which has select,insert,update,delete.
    We tried to utiile the import utility from OTHER USERS
    Insert failed ORA-00942
    Do you want ot ignore all errors
    Even though we have rights to the schema under OTHER USERS.
    When connected as the owner it works fine.

    I've be trying to find a work-around to this issue & found this old post -- I'm having the same problem.
    I'm using Oracle 11g and SD 2.1.1.64.
    I have user A with a table that grants select,insert,update, and delete privs to user B. Logging into user B I, of course, can do inserts, deletes, etc. on the the table in user A's schema.
    When I use the import data feature to load data from a CSV file I can't get it to work while logged into user B. It does work fine if logged into user A. It looks like the issue may be that it doesn't put the schema prefix of "A." on the insert statements.
    Has anyone found a way to get around this issue yet?

  • HT2305 just downloaded quicktime player, tried to play avi file and all I had was a black screen. HELP!

    I'm just after attempting to play an avi file with Quicktime player on windows7 and all I got was a blank screen. Is there any particular reason that this is happening, or is quicktime incapable of playing avi files without going pro?

    The QuickTime Player doesn't have the right codec for that specific AVI. Purchasing QuickTime Pro will make no difference; it doesn't contain any additional codecs.
