How can I open a movie downloaded in rar to my macbock air system 10.8.5.Which software should I use.
Pls advice
thank y

You'll first need something to open the RAR archive if you've not already done it.
Then you'll need to let us know what the xtension is. That said, between VLC or quicktime you can open most files.
You can also get things like Flip4Mac or Perian to help you along.

HT3775 What codec do I need to play video that is called .avi. It will not play on my new Macbook Pro.

What codec do I need to add to play a video that is called .avi
It will not play on my new Macbook Pro since I put it into the movies section of my launchpad. When it was on the desktop It worked fine. I moved it back to the desktop and it still does not work.
The error message says The document " .avi" could not be opened.
A required codec is not available.

Download VLC Media Player which plays anything you throw at it and Perian (AVI and FLV support).

Hello,

Please help .

You are engaging in illegal activity. There's no legal way to view commercial movies for free online. Sites like that one are in violation of copyright laws in most countries, and that's why you'll find they're located in places like Russia.
I strongly advise that you not try to get this working. Whatever they tell you that you may have to install to get it working should not be trusted when you are dealing with a known criminal site. Such sites are often a source of malware, and although Mac malware is pretty rare, this is one activity that can expose you to it.

Try using VLC or installing both QuickTime 7 and Perian. Nothing will work with all AVIs; some of them require codecs not available for Mac OS X.

HT3775 I have had .mov videos that I have been able to view for the last 5 years on my old macbook. I upgraded to a new MacBookPro and for some reason, I get a message that I am missing a necessary codec. What do i do?

I have a whole bunch of .mov and .avi files that I could read before I upgraded to a new MacBook Pro. The support from Apple is sketchy here and merely tells me that I don't have the correct codec. Where do I go to get the codec I need.

Try Perian

HT3775 AVI files copied from PC to new iMac are not playing. Message is The document "Mural.avi" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available. As far as I know I have the moist recent version of quicktime. HELP! Please.

I cannot get the AVI files to play on my iMac. They were copied over from the PC and I can see them but when trying to open them I get the message "The document “Mural.avi” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." As far as I know I have the most recent version og Qucktime.

Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

HT3775 can't open .mpeg files on new iMac

I just transferred my .mpg files from my old microsoft computer to my imac and am unable to open the files. I keep getting the following message: The document could not be opened. The required codec isn't available.

Try downloading the free VLC Application and opening it with that. It is the Swiss Army Knife of codecs.

New DVR Issues (First Run, Channel Switching, etc.)

I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to find answers through the search with no luck, so sorry if I missed something.
I recently switched to FIOS from RCN cable in New York. I've gone through trying to setup my DVR and am running into issues and was hoping for some answers.
1. I setup two programs to record at 8PM, I was watching another channel at the time and only half paying attention. Around 8:02 I noticed a message had popped up asking if I would like to switch channels to start recording. I was expecting it to force it to switch like my old DVR, but in this case it didn't switch and I missed the first two minutes of one of the shows. I typically leave my DVR on all day and just turn off the TV, this dual show handling will cause issues with that if I forget to turn off the DVR. Is there a setting I can change that will force the DVR to choose one of the recording channels?
2. I setup all my recordings for "First Run" because I only want to see the new episodes. One show I setup was The Daily Show on comedy central, which is shown weeknights at 11pm and repeated 3-4 times throughout the day. My scheduled recordings is showing all these as planned recordings even though only the 11pm show is really "new". Most of the shows I've setup are once a week so they aren't a problem, but this seems like it will quickly fill my DVR. Any fixes?
Thanks for the help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I came from RCN about a year ago. Fios is different in several ways, not all of them desirable. Here are several ways to get--and fix--unwanted recordings from a series recording setup.
Some general principles.
Saving changes. When you originally create a series with options, or if you go back to edit the options for an existing series, You MUST save the Series Options changes. Pretty much everywhere else in the user interface, when you change an option, the change takes effect immediately--but not in Series Options. Look at the Series Options window. Look at the far right side. There is a vertical "Save" bar, which you must navigate to and click OK on to actually save your changes. Exiting the Series Options window without having first saved your changes loses all your attempted changes--immediately.
Default Series Options. This is accessed from [Menu]--DVR--Settings--Default Series Options. This will bring up the series options that will automatically be applied to the creation of a NEW series. The options for every previously created series will not be affected by a subsequent modification of the Default Series Options. You should set these options to the way you would like them to be for the majority of series recordings that you are likely to create. Be sure to SAVE your changes. This is what you will get when you select "Create Series Recording" from the Guide. When creating a new series recording where you think that you may want options different from the default, select "Create Series with Options" instead. Series Options can always be changed for any individual series set up later--but not for all series at once.
Non-series recordings. With Fios you have no directly available options for these. With RCN and most other DVRs, you can change the start and end times for individual episodes, including individual episodes that are also in a series. With Fios, your workarounds are to create a series with options for a single program, then delete the series later; change the series options if the program is already in a series, then undo the changes you made to the series options later; or schedule recordings of the preceding and/or following shows as needed.
And now, to the unwanted repeats.
First, make sure your series options for the specific series in question--and not just the series default options--include "First Run Only". If not, fix that and SAVE. Then check you results by viewing the current options using the Series Manager app under the DVR menu.
Second, and most annoying, the Guide can have repeat programs on your channel tagged as "New". It happens. Set the series option "Air Time" to "Selected Time". To make this work correctly, you must have set up the original series recording after selecting the program in the Guide at the exact time of a first run showing (11pm, in your case), and not on a repeat entry in the Guide. Then, even it The Daily Show is tagged as New for repeat showings, these will be ignored.
Third, another channel may air reruns of the program in your series recording, and the first showing of a rerun episode on the other channel may be tagged as "New". These can be ignored in your series if you set the series option "Channel" to "Selected Channel". Related to this, if there is both an SD and HD channel broadcasting you series program, you will record them both if the series option "Duplicates" is set to "Yes". However, when the Channel option is set to "Selected Channel", the Duplicates Option is always effectively "No", regardless of what shows up on the options screen.
As for you missing two minutes, I have sereral instances in which two programs start recording at the same time. To the best of my recollection, whenever the warning message has appeared, ignoring it has not caused a loss of recording time. You might have an older software version. Newest is v.1.8. Look at Menu--Settings--System Info. Or, I might not have noticed the loss of minutes. I regularly see up to a minute of previous programming at the start of a recording, or a few missing seconds at the beginning or end of a recording. There are a lot of possibilities for that, but the DVR clock being incorrect is not one of them. With RCN, the DVR clocks occasionally drifted off by as much as a minute and a half.

New Phone

My husband used my iCloud account before I had an iPhone. Now that I have one, I am still finding information from when my husband used the account. I try to backup my iCloud account and it says I do not have enough space, but I know I still 3.9GB left. I log on to the iCloud website and I can not find any record of my phone or my husband's phone on the iCloud website. I want to clear everything he had on the phone prior to me using it starting in December. Is there a way to do that?

Done properly, you won't lose anything. You would not be able to migrate your existing iCloud email account to the new account, but you could still use it for email as a secondary account on your phone if you want to.
You would need a new Apple ID to create the new account, which requires a verifiable email account to set up. You can easily get a free Gmail address for this purpose. You can create a new Apple ID by going here.
To migrate your data to a new account, you start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. This is necessary because photo stream photos cannot be moved to another account and will be deleted from your phone when you delete the existing account.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Notes is the other data set that cannot be migrated to a new account, and therefore must be recreated.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data. When you turn on Mail you will be asked to choose a new iCloud email account if you want to use iCloud for email. If you want to continue to use the email account from your current iCloud account, you can add it to your phone by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, signing in with your existing iCloud account ID and turning Mail on.
Ringtones and Music are not effected by this change. You can continue to use your current ID for your iTunes purchases; it does not need to be the same as your iCloud ID. Of course, if you want to rid yourself of your husband's purchased list, you could change your iTunes ID as well. I wouldn't recommend this, however, as then you would be managing two IDs for your purchased media. This is because all existing purchases will remain tied to your existing iTunes ID and future purchases will be tied to your new ID.

I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Firefox logo missing from new browser; would like to see it so I can know at a glance which browser I am using.

Bring back the logo or something else to allow quick identification of browser. Chrome doesn't have its logo in the browser either so now it going be harder to tell between the two. Is this a contest to see which can be more self effacing?

You can click the 3-bar Firefox menu button and open the Customize window.<br />
At the bottom of this window there is a button to enable showing the title bar.
