You can try installing the free Flip4Mac
https://www.macupdate.com/app/iphone/17787/flip4mac-wmv-player
or alternatively download VLC Player which plays many more formats than Quicktime.

  • I want to download 'my' videos from YouTube and Google Video

    i'm on: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6. and I am looking for a WORKABLE way to download my videos from YouTube and Google Video. When I download them straight from YouTube of GoogleVideo the sound is de-synchronized.

    Open iTunes and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

  • Can I use imovie to download a video from youtube and then copy it to a dvd?

    I need to download a video from youtube for church on Sunday and wondered if I can do it using the imovie app? If not, does anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks!

    just drag 'n drop your jpg and your mp3 into the timeline of your Project - done.
    Depending on what version of iM you're using, you can directly upload from within iMovie, or you have to export first, then use YT's upload web interface ...
    in case you own a licence of Quicktime Pro,  open a jpg with it, open in a 2nd window your mp3, select all, copy, paste to picture - done .. no 'fullsize editor' needed.

  • I need to download some videos from youtube and then convert them to avi and then transfer them to dvd how do I do this

    is there a program that I can download for downloading and converting videos from you tube (need to be in the format AVI ) and then putting them onto a cd I havant a clue on how to do this as I have just got the apple and its way different from normal computers any help.

    Did you look in your downloads folder? If you are using Safari to download then look at Safari - Preferences - General and look in where it says Save downloaded files to. If you have left it to the defaults download folder you will find that under ~/downloads the ~ means your home folder. You can find that in Finder.
    I know you are to OS X so you are probably just unlearning some old bad habits. I'd recommend book marking and using:
    Mac 101
    Switch 101

  • I downloaded a movie from youtube and it's in Adobe Media Player. How do I move it to iMovie?

    FOR A MAC

    Adobe Flash Player is just that.  A Flash video player.  iMovie is a video editor/creator.  To open a Flash Video to edit it, you'll probably need to convert it first to AVI or MPEG (check your iMovie help to see which files it can open).

    I have mac pro and firefox 3.0.19
    I am trying to download a video from youtube.?
    I can see the video. I want to download it and save in my computer to see it again.
    I have download helper. While the 3 red,blue,and yellow sphere are turning, It gives me the choice of place to save,and when I click and choose desktop , for example, this message comes ."Conversion requires an external application that appears to be missing on your system. Configure conversion ?
    When I click on okay, another page comes, which says" converter and a box next to it . in the box is written FFMpeg. but I can change it to MEncoder. In another box, says configure conversion rules. When I click on it, nothing happen.Thanks for your help.
    == This happened ==

    == I want to download a video from youtube

    No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
    "This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
    Configure conversion ?"
    And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

  • How to download Halloween videos from YouTube?

    <By Jenny>
    It is that time of year again, the exciting Halloween! Since activities in these days are wonderful, unforgettable, impressive, crazy, and fantastic, lots of them are recorded in the form of videos and uploaded to YouTube for sharing with all the people worldwide. Do you fall in love with some interesting, meaningful and unique video files about Halloween, and want to download them as your own collections so as to enjoy them in the leisure time? If so, this thread will definitely do you a favor, for it will instruct you how to download Halloween videos from YouTube in detail.
    The software we will use here is Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/], which is free for downloading, if you want to convert the downloaded FLV YouTube Halloween videos to other formats, you should use its retail version, if not, there will be watermarks of Pavtube stamped in the output files.
    Okay, now let’s begin.
    1. Download Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/], install and run it.
    2. Add URL, select output format
    After launching, press “Add URL” in the main interface of this program, and then the following interface will pop up. Copy and paste URL of the Halloween videos which you want to download from YouTube into the textbox after “URL”. If you only want to use its downloading function totally for free, you should check “Only Download FLV source file”, and uncheck “Keep FLV source file”, on the contrary, if you want to convert it to other format while downloading as well as keeping the FLV source file, you should tick the checkbox of “Keep FLV source file” in advance.
    Imagine you’d like to do downloading and converting work simultaneously, in that case, you should click on the drop-down list of “Convert to” to select an output format, here I choose “iPhone MPEG-4 640X480(*.MP4)” as an example.
    Also, there are two more optional steps, namely, specify output file name and save path. Factually, this program will generate a file name and destination folder by default automatically, if you don’t like using these ones, you can type your preferred file name into the textbox after “Save as” and click on the ellipsis icon at the opposite side of “Save to” to specify a path to store the output files.
    3. Custom
    This program allows users adjusting video and audio parameters like codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, etc. You can configure all of these items according to your own requirements. For instance, if you need change the output files to have a smaller size, and do not mind the output quality, you can adjust these parameters into smaller figures.
    4. Click “OK” to start downloading and converting
    Once all the above settings are done, you can now click “OK” button to begin downloading and converting your favorite Halloween videos from YouTube at the same time. Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/] will finish its tasks, even batch tasks at speed, and never let video and audio go in separate ways.
    Well, just 4 simple steps, the downloading and converting work are completed, sincerely hope this guide is helpful for you to download or convert your beloved Halloween video files from YouTube.
    By the way, I know an amused website specially designed for Halloween, it provides people with games and Halloween gifts, from which you can not only gain funs, but also get cute presents, [play this game here|http://www.pavtube.com/halloween/halloween.html], and happy Halloween.

  • I would like to download a video from youtube in firefox. Also, I can't find the Firefox button others are referring to in the top left corner. (Windows XP)

    I found a video on downloading a video from Youtube without downloading additional software. It looks straightforward enough. Problem is, the top bar of my screen does not have the Firefox button that others refer to. Other than that, Firefox has made for a great browsing experience.

    Not really.<br />
    The current Firefox release is Firefox 27.0.
    You can find the full version of the current Firefox 27.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
    *http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    You get the orange Firefox menu button when the Menu bar is hidden.
    *Firefox menu button > Options
    *View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the hidden Menu bar)

  • While playing videos from YouTube it stops playing on my iPad2

    While playing videos from YouTube it stops playing on my iPad2

    Try to download the application VLC.
    It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
    In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

  • I got a new iPod nano 7th gen., but when I tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

    I got a new iPod nano 7th gen, but when i tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Soem of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to yor iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. What should I do?

    I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

  • Hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

    hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

    At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it???  I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!
