I have just changed over from a computer that was 11 years old, running Windows 98, to a new computer running Windows XP. With my old computer I could easily download video clips, they would open and play as soon as the download had ended. Now I have to click on the download box and click on "Play". Also, when I wanted to keep a clip, I just right clicked and a menu appeared and I would then click on "Save as" or similar. Now there doesn't appear to be any way to save the clips. Apart from a faster and more powerful computer I feel I've gone backwards. Can anyone help?

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • I just changed over from Safari, and Firefox is incredibly slow! Are there ways to fix this?

    It's taking 30 to 60 seconds for Firefox to open any page. I just changed over from Safari, and this is about 10 times slower than Safari. Are there ways to speed up opening pages? I can't keep Firefox as my browser if it continues to be this slow. I have a Mac Mini, with Mac OS X as my operating system.

    Did you buy your machine second-hand? That's really the only way you would have to purchase OS X 10.8.x from the App Store... but, yes, if you have a USB thumb drive with a bootable installer (such as made with Lion DiskMaker) you can boot from that and reinstall OS X.

  • HT204074 I have just changed my iPad mini password a day ago when trying to log on today it worked fine until about 4:30 (GMT) when I could not access the device using the correct password. I am absoloutley 100% sure it's correct. Any help?

    I have just changed my iPad mini password a day ago, and when trying to access it today it worked fine until about 4:30 (GMT) when I could not access the device using the correct password. I am absoloutley 100% sure it's correct.Additional details:I was last using Kik messenger before it stopped working.I was sitting less than two foot away from the PS3 my brother was playing.I'm 14 but I'm not some spoilt kid who gets iPhones and iPads from his parents to mess around with, I have got important coursework and homeworks on there.Any help would be great Thanks.

    Hello ConfusedLlama
    If the password is not working to get into your iPad mini, you would need to follow the steps to restore it. If you have a back up through iCloud or through iTunes, you can restore from that back up and it would not bring back the passcode unless it is encrypted.

  • I live in Germany and have tried to download Dreamweaver trial version in ENGLISH and all I get is the download in German.  How do I get it in ENGLISH?

    I live in Germany, and speak German but not the technical German that Dreamweaver uses.  I need the program to download in English.  I have tried hitting the USA choice, and they re-direct me to the German site, and again the download is in German.  All the teaching videos are in English and it is too big a challenge to try and figure out what they mean in German.  I need an english language download.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks.

    Thanks again, I tried it and it downloaded in English.  Now if these 70 year old eyes can "see" maybe I can get something done.

  • Trying to download a movie I got disconnected and it won't restart the download.  When I click on iTunes it pulls it up and says waiting.  Any suggestions on how to get it to finish downloading?

    I started to download a movie.  Then lost the connection. Now I can't get it to start downloading again.  When I open iTunes it shows the movie but says waiting. 

    maybe click on it again or if the problem continues, you should contact apple

  • HT1768 Itunes will not open and play.  It says "Itunes has stopped working".  I have deleted and reinstalled Itunes (three times), same with Quicktime.  i have updated the driver, but it still won´t open.  Any other ideas?

    My laptop is Windows Vista.

    Having the same problem - am running Win 7 Pro 32 bit. Discovered that when you close iTunes task manager shows that iTunes.exe is still running and will not close unless you reboot. I have also found that after starting Win 7 that if I launch iTunes by inserting a CD, the CD plays and displays all tracks correctly. However, if I eject the CD and insert a different one neither Win 7 or iTunes recognises the CD. These problems seem to have started with the release of 10.5.2 - prior to that no problems at all. Have tried reinstalling and it does not make any difference.

  • Why won't videos open and play?

    Using Safari, I try to open video from Facebook and other sites and they won't open or play. I can sometimes get them to load and play if I download them and open them in a separate window. Also, I have been opening them in Chrome and they all open and play. What's up with Safari?

    DebG154, I have similar issues. Uninstalling, reinstalling flash only worked until the next time I turned the computer on/off. If I want to use flash, I have to reinstall every time.
    I have a folder  "/Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins" 
    which contains "Flash Player.plugin"  = Adobe Flash Player   11.9 r900
    I also have a folder  "/Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Disabled Plug-Ins"  which is empty
    I noticed a folder in "/Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled)"
    There is only one file in there = "Flash Player.plugin"  = Adobe Flash Player 10.1 r102
    I didn't put it there, nor did I disable Flash myself. This may have been put there by the process of updating the flash player ?? I updated the version of Flash about two weeks ago to current version (Plug-in version 11.9.900.152 is installed) and since then I have these problems trying to play videos.
    Safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10)
    iMac with
    System Version:          Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
      Kernel Version:          Darwin 10.8.0
    I sent bug reports with screenshots to Apple. No response.
    I would appreciate if someone could help.
    Thanks

    -My wifi connection is running strong
    -All the devices run the same version of iOS

    Try this  - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • I have an old mpg video file, taken with a very early model "smart phone", that opens and plays fine in my newly "rebuilt" iPhoto library. I cannot open, edit it or share it with any other software. How can I fix it, to be able to do anything with it?

    I have an old mpg video file, taken with a very early model "smart phone", that opens and plays fine in my newly "rebuilt" iPhoto library. I cannot open, edit it or share it with any other software. How can I fix it, to be able to do anything with it?
    Detail:
    I've recently purchaced a 4TB Thunderbolt drive to store my "vast" music and photo libraries. iPhoto had an issue reading the moved library, so I bought and used iPhoto Library Manager to "rebuild" it. Apart from much of the original data such as date taken & camera used etc, it appears to be working well. The aforementioned mpg video was taken some 9 years ago, using an early model "iMate" smart phone, and opens and plays fine on iPhoto, but I cannot open it with anything else, (I've tried iMovie, VLC players, Wondershare and Handbrake) nor can I share it. I just want to edit it, and share it with family.
    Any help would be appreciated...

    No - not iMovie, VLC, Wondershare or Handbrake... Quick time starts with a "CONVERTING", then I get
    I've looked at the "tell me more" links, tried downloading some of the movie players there. I'm begining to think the file is corrupt.

  • I have just changed my password on googlemail on my computer and it has immediately locked me out of my emails on my phone and my new password now doesnt work either! i need to see my emails for work! someone please help!

    Please can someone help me?
    I have just changed my password on my work computer on gmail but my phonehas locked out of my emails now and will not accept my new password. it keeps telling me my username or password is incorrect. I have tried deleting entire email account and setting it up again but still doesnt work!
    Im out of options and step by step on apple is rubbish!!

    Ive also looked into other comments people have made about this and they are saying if you go into your account and go to incoming mail server you can change the password there but I cant find that anywhere. it only says outgoing mail server.
    could this be the problem? have i deleted this?

  • How do I stop iTunes from opening and playing a song every time I unplug my headphones?

    I noticed today that iTunes was opening automatically and playing the first song in my library.  Through some searching in the community here, I figured out it has something to do with when I jiggle the cable on my headphones, plugged into the headphone jack. I have an old late 2008 MacBook with all of the latest OS and iTunes, and I need to stop doing this.  I flipped through the settings and the community and didn't find a solution other than "don't jiggle the cable".
    I need to do some screen recording for work later on today and I don't want iTunes to keep opening and playing audio while I'm doing this.  Does anyone know of a way to stop this from happening software side instead of hardware side?  It seems ridiculous to me that iTunes would just open up because my headphone jack moved a little.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello Garrett,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes launching unexpectedly. I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:

    I have just changed my ISP and they have informed me that i have to change the IP address on my time capsule. Please can someone tell me how todo this? Thanks

    This should really be unnecessary but anyway..
    If you mean the internal IP of the TC, the it can be changed by changing the dhcp settings.. which is weird.
    It looks a bit different in the v6 utility but is easy to do..
    See the DHCP beginning address is split into sections.. change the front section from 10.0 to 192.168
    Then update the TC.. then you will need to change everything on the network as the IP will need to change.. I recommend you simply turn everything off and then on again in correct order.. modem.. TC.. clients. 2min gap.
