    I can't open a .wmv file with quicktime player.  Shouldn't I be able to?

    No. To do so you need to install Flip4Mac WMV Player 2.4.4.2.

  • Ho do I open a wmv file on my iPad?

    What do I need to open a wmv. file I receive in an e-mail on my iPad?

    Look for a wmv player app in the app store. I can't recommend a specific one because I've not used them, but I can just suggest search for .wmv, read reviews and make a choice. Once you install that you should be able to open that video.

    Two other possibilities.

    Video Player - VLC

  • Firefox 6.0 w/ win media player plugin 1.0.0.8 enabled ALWAYS asks if I want to open a .wmv file with Win Media Player.

    Firefox 6.0 would not open .wmv files, so I downloaded and installed M/S windows media player firefox plugin, ver 1.0.0.8.
    I have checked using the plugin mgr that it is installed and enabled, but firefox still will not open .wmv files - It still brings up a window asking if I want to use Win Media Player to open the file.

    You have an outdated version of Flash installed.
    Uninstall the current copy of Flash then reinstall, instructions here.

    And, you have the Community Toolbar installed. That has to go.

    Open a Finder window then select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the LIbrary folder then the Application Support folder, the Input Managers folder and the Scripting Additions folder.
    Move all the files above in bold print to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari after you have re installed Flash and deleted all those files.

  • Quick Time opens internet.wmv files as text files

    I'm trying to open internet video files that are generally .wmv files. Quick time does not open them, rather they open in a text format. Ideas? Thanks!

    As the above poster said, you can download Windows Media Player for Mac to view .wmv files, or you can use my preferred method. Although it will cost you $9.99, you can download Flip4Mac's WMV Player. This is a Quicktime Codec that allows you to watch .wmv media within Quicktime and within your browser ending up as a complete media solution. You don't need two different applications.
    Hope this helps,
    Ryan.

  • HT3775 can't play wmv file on quicktime?

    I can't play .wmv files on quicktime.  I installed both QuickTime MPEG2 and Flip4Mac WMV hoping that this would solve the problem but it did not.  When trying to play any audio .wmv file I get an error box stating "the document (filename).wmv could not be opened.  The movie is not in a format the QuickTime Player understands.  You may need to install additional software to open this type of file".  Anyone know what I might need here?

    Hmm, Perian should provide flv playback in Quicktime. Maybe you need to update Perian? I used to always use Perian but since upgrading to Lion I have not installed it and now rely on VLC for non-apple standard media playback. Deluxe can handle the flv-format.It will convert flv to mov. Hope it helps

  • What application opens a .wmv file?

    I've gotten several .wmv files in my email and being new to Macs I don't know what application opens these files. I can download them successfully however I always get an error message that says Saffari cannot open these files. Help!

    .wmv is a Windows Media file.
    You can use Windows Media Player for Mac to open those.
    You might also need Stuffit Expander to extract the Windows Media Player file after it's downloaded.

  • Opening a .wmv file

    I can't open .wmv files. Is there a program I need to download. Thanks

    Hey there,
    My vote goes to Flip4Mac too. It works better than the Microsoft player. Be sure to double check the default settings in "System Preferences" after installation.

    Good luck,

  • Quicktime crashes everytime I try to open a .WMV file!!

    I have the newest version of quicktime (the same one that's been out for a while). I also have Flip4Mac installed. However, every time I try to play a .wmv file, quicktime crashes and I have to use force quit. It never used to do this, it used to play these files fine. Any help?

    Hi,
    I too have been having this problem, and I've found a solution that works for me.
    If you have the Finder windows displayed in column view - then disable the preview option by clicking on the small arrow above the movie preview - it seems that the Finder clashes with Quicktime and Quicktime crashes.
    Regards

  • Unable to download/open a WMV file

    I am using Oracle Access Manager (OAM) 10.1.4.2. I have a website where you click on a link and the browser downloads a WMV video and plays the video. However, if I define in OAM a policy that protects the folder containing the video, and grant the appropriate access rights, the video file will not download. I get an error saying "Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is enither unavailable or cannot be found."
    There are no headers returned from OAM actions. Any ideas why OAM may be blocking or otherwise interferring with the access/transfer?

    Are you using an MDM?  I think there are MDM setting which can requires downloads to utilize a wi-fi connection. 

  • On certain websites, when opening a wmv file it will open as an ascii file, instead of the microsoft media player.

    this website used to work at one time. What could cause this. This may have happened after upgrading to Firefox 4.0, but I am not sure. I am using Windows XP. I have checked that I have the latest media player plugin installed.

    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    * Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    "Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    * Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    If the file is opened in Firefox as a text (ASCII) file then that means that the HTTP response header specify a content type text/plain instead of a content type that identifies the file as a media file. That can be a problem with that website, but another possibility is that security software like a firewall has changed the response headers as a security precaution because that content isn't trusted.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • Why doI have to manually select windows media player every time I try to open a wmv file in an email

    If I get an email with a video in it,I have to manually select windows media player in the pop up window. I check the box that says to do this every time for this type of file but it never changes. Next email with a video in it and the box comes up asking what to open the file with. I downloaded the windows media player plugin and that did not help.

    To anyone having this problem, did it start happening right after downloading Firefox 4?
