I cannot get windows media player to open. Do I need to download something? I have Windows 7

I cannot get past first page when you are prompted to choose recommended or custom setting.
I'm trying to transfer downloaded music to media player so i transfer it to ipod. Is that the correct way
to go about that or should I have downloaded to media player to begin with?

This article by Microsoft explains how to use Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7.
Lots of good information here; I hope it has the answers you are looking for.

I cannot view video on Windows Media Player...Seems I need to install a "Codec".......which one?

I cannot view any video sent to me or by me on Windows Media Player. Seems that I need to install a "Codec"......but which one and where do I find this? In doing some reasearch, I noted that one must be careful to install the correct one. I am not happy that this was not included in my PC when I purchased it. I am using Windows 7 on HP Pavilion dv6-3133nr Entertainment Notebook, if that is of any help. Please....any info?

gramaof6,
I would be inclined to install VLC from Filehippo website, as I use VLC on all my PC clients for DVDs. Please find the link below for further information.

I can't get Window's Media Player to recognize my new ipod shuffle. Does anyone have a solution/, I can't get Window's Media Player to recognize my new ipod shuffle. Does anyone have a solution?

I can't get Window's Media Player to "recognize" my new ipod shuffle. Does anyone have a solution? When I pull the ipod shuffle up in Devices and Printers, it says it needs Troubleshooting, but the Troubleshooting provides no solution.

Windows Media Player? As far as I know, that won't work. You need to install iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
That will install the software you need to use your shuffle with your computer.

Cannot get my dvd player to work now after several attempts of finally upgrading to Windows 8.1.

About the same time my antivirus software was about to expire. Therefore, I purchased the Trend Micro DirectPass online AND a disc for added measures. Now I cannot get the computer to accept the antivirus software and cannot get the dvd player to even work when loading the cd that I purchased for this. Please help!

Yes I did remove the old antivirus software. Yes. It was Norton originally. Then purchased Trend Micro Titanium 2013. Removed that as well. No the driver does not show up in "this PC" The reason being is after I first encountered this problem I looked for several solutions, one of which suggested uninstalling that driver. That is what I did. Unfortunately, before I could get to the next step of the so-called solution, it was not an option on my pc. And yes, the disk does spin up and seem to run, but of course nothing comes up.
By the way, I have HP 2000 Notebook PC; 64-bit; Vision AMD; Windows 8 (originally installed). If you need anymore info, please let me know and thank you for your quick response thus far.

I have the 10.7.4 and I cannot get the Flash Player ,, please help me.

If you downloaded it, it's likely in your Downloads folder as a Disk Image .dmg. Just open it and intall Flash player and restart your browser. Everything should work.

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

Cannot get windows 7 to install on new imac

I have a new "Thunderbolt" imac. Using the boot camp assistant disk that came with it (or the downloaded one), I cannot get windows 7 successfully installed. Mostly won't start up. Long hang-ups, mouse won't work. Have used Boot Camp on older mac Pro for a long time with perfectly consistent results, but am frustrated here. I have followed instructions, made several fresh install attempts, used stock mouse and keyboard that came with imac, poor results. Boot camp appears to be v3.0 something. Wish I knew better what to ask......

Hi joehonse,
Would you please let us know current situation of this issue? Any update?
Regarding to error:
Package installation did not succeed, this issue may occur if you connect a computer to a server that is running Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials while other Windows updates or application installations are pending and the Connector installation is canceled.
àWhen
I navigate to that path, the installer is already there. I'm not sure if it should work like this, but I have tried to run that installer independently, and it will fail everytime.”
Based on your description, did you mean that you can find the installer, however, can’t run it as normal? Would
you please let me know the error message that you can get?
In addition, as Robert suggested, would you please download the installer manually and replace the existed
one. Then please run and monitor the result.
Meanwhile, please refer to the following article and check if can help you.
Windows
Server Essentials Connector has not been installed because cannot download the package

I have created an iMovie but cannot share it. I have looked at the help menu and have tried to follow these instructions but cannot get the sharing button to open anything.

I have created an iMovie but cannot share it. I have looked at the help menu and have tried to follow these instructions but cannot get the sharing button to open anything.

Do you have MacKeeper installed? If so, you need to uninstall it. There is a known issue where MacKeeper disables all the sharing functions from the new iMovie.
Uninstall MacKeeper, then re-install iMovie.
Keep MacKeeper uninstalled.

I cannot get my Acrobat Pro to open. I already uninstalled it and re installed it. But still does not open. The program pops to ask for permission to open the program, but it never actually opens. I trouble shoot it and it says incompatible application.

It sounds like an issue of trying to run XI on VISTA. That combination does not work. Info on both the Acrobat full version (including sub-version) and OS would help. It might also be an issue of running 11.0.0 on a system that needs the updates to work.

I cannot get windows updater to activate

I cannot get windows updater to activate

Hi,
Before we go further in this issue, I would like to confirm what you mean by "I cannot get windows updater to activate".
Please let us know more details of it as Andreas Molin and Arnav Sharma mentioned.
Do you mean you cannot get Windows Update to run, you may try the following steps:
1. Check Windows Update service's running status, make sure it is automatic. If not, change and start it. Please check the below mentioned services:
a. Background Intelligent Transfer Service
b. Cryptographic service
c. Windows Update
2. Your antivirus software may be conflicting with Windows Updates. You can test this by temporarily disabling your antivirus:
Disable Anti-virus software:

3. Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

Hi Charlotte,
You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

My Xtreamer media player won't read srt sub files downloaded from my iMac and stored in a 1Tb seagate external disk. However, the Xtreamer Elvira media player will read all the .avi files I have loaded in the external disk. Any ideas?

I am experiencing the same issue with a new external DVD burner, a Sony DRX-840U. When I load a CD into this external drive it appears in iTunes but when you go to import or play the CD iTunes indicates playing or importing for each individual track for just a moment. The end result is that nothing is ever imported or played. I am experiencing this on two different systems. One a notebook running Win2K and the other a desktop running XPpro. If I use the internal DVD drives on either of these systems everything work just fine. Yet I am able to use this new external DVD drive with every other application. For example Window Media Player has no problem playing or importing the same CD that iTunes fails on. The last person indicated that if one set the DVD drive in question to be the drive of choice under preferences>advanced>burning that all was ok. I my case this Sony external drive is the drive listed as the drive of choice for burning yet the issue still exists.
As this appears to be an issue that others are also experiencing help from Apple Tech Support would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 80gb ipod classic and i cannot get it to sync anymore since I updated my itunes. Does anyone have any suggestions on what i should do?

Does the device show up in Windows Explorer when connected?
Have you tried going into Control Panel > Programs & Features > iTunes > Repair?
Have you proved the cable with a different device, or the device's connectivity with a different computer?
