Hi,
Not all .mp4 items are created equal as there are many subvariants.
You may want to Install Perian and/or Flip4Mac

I have a new Ipad air. I have synced it to my PC before. This time I get an error message saying iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the device time out - what do I do?

Quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens this one file.Ideas?

I can't open one Quick Time movie file. It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens on this one file. All the others of a two hour shoot are fine.
Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it?

Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

Unable to get Quick time movies to play on my imac. This is the error message I allways get.
"The document “4-20130701090400-7.mp4” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands.You may need to install additional software to open this type of file."

Download and install VLC Player. It plays more formats and is free and highly regarded.

Sounds like someone ripped the movie off of YouTube and it got corrupted in the process. Try getting the movie file again, or try using an alternative movie player such as VLC: http://www.videolan.org

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

I live in the UAE and i dont have the face time app on my iphone 5 and it's not showing in the settings list as well only face time mentioned in the notification center , my friends in the same area are using face time normally any advice?

Doesn't matter. That store is likely selling illegit iphones, brought oin from somewhere else.
The fact remains the UAE government does not allow Facetime on iphones legitimately sold there.

I'm trying to extract audio files from my OLYMPUS Digital Voice Recorder VN-6200PC I am getting this error whenever I try to play its file type on my MacBook Pro,"The document "VN622195.WMA" could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."

The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files). Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac. You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

The movie's file format isn't recognized

I recently lost some footage and paid a data recovery place to retreive them. For a lot of the quicktime files that were recoverd, I get "The movie's file format isn't recognized. I was told to try vlc player and that doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Recovering Quicktime video is highly problematic.
You could try Digital Rebellion's Pro Maintenance Tools. There is a Quicktime Repair app in the tool box.

ImageReady CS2 error: Could not fully open the application. Personalization information is invalid.

Hello,
I am posting because Adobe is not offering tech support for CS2 and I cannot find this error for CS2 software, only CS.
I have been using CS2 for some time on the same machine (specs below, let me know if you need additional), and have had no problems. All of a sudden, I am getting the error: "Could not fully open the application. Personalization information is invalid." when opening ImageReady. Either jumping from Photoshop or opening from Applications.
I cannot reinstall, as I lost discs in a move, but it is valid software with valid serials, and registered, but no phone tech support! I would appreciate any help/advice/solutions greatly! Thanks.
Photoshop/ImageReady 9.0.2
Mac OSX 10.4.11
1.47 GHz PowerPC G4
1.25 GB SDRAM
Available Disc space: 24.91 GB
GeForce FX 5200

Neil and Ann,
I tried calling customer service today looking for a tech support number and was told that tech support is no longer offered for CS2! She told me to go to the forums at Adobe.com, which is how I ended up here.
My discs were lost in a move away from a roommate (along with some other things!), so there is no recovering them. I'll call it the cost of my sanity.
I have an old version of Director, but it gets so involved. It would have been so easy to flip my simple graphics straight from Photoshop to ImageReady. Looks like I will have to though.
Thanks for the time and attention to my problem. I guess I should be thankful that I only lost ImageReady, which I use once in a blue moon anyway.
Best regards.

I've had the same problem for a month and yet I still cant get iTunes to work, I've heard different solutions but none have worked for me

My iPhone Won't Sync with computer. It used to; but it doesn't now. I don't have iCloud. When I try to sync I get a message that reads: iTunes could not back up the iPhone "owner's name appears here iPhone" because the backup could not be saved on compute

Why won't my iPhone sync with my computer? When I hook the phone up to iTunes I get a message that reads: iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer. This never happened before.

Hey Janice Lucoff,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues backing up your iPhone 4s in iTunes, which is causing issues finishing the sync of your device. The following resource should help resolve your issue, as it refers to the exact error message you described:
