I Killed Quick time (going to reinstall OSX and need ac3codec for mac)

Hi,
I killed my quick time. I have a video file I want to play (a project I'm working on with others.) anyway, it has 5.1 audio. The video plays, but no audio. I put the file on the XP and still no audio. I played it on Divx player. It says I'm missing Tag 8192.
So after a quick Google, i get ac3codec for the XP, install... and i get the audio on the XP with the video.
Off to find the codec for the mac...I found a file, i forget where i got it, placed it in the /libary/qucktime. and none of my .avi files will play any more, just a white screen. my .mov files seem to work fine. I remove the codec, and QT is still busted.
In reading the fourms here, it seems Quicktime is part of OSX, so there is no real, uninstall...reinstall thing, is that correct? Unless there is another suggestion, I plan on reinstalling OSX tonight. This should restore QT.
Also, is there a ac3codec type thing for the mac?

Ok, i'm getting really bent. I don't get how these played before and now they don't. I'm still not getting it to work.
Here is the movie format: XVID, 608 x 272, Unknown
I went here to get a codec: http://www.xvidmovies.com/mac/
i down loaded the codec for OSX
I end up with a file called: XVIDDelegate and i put in in the root of the HD\Libary\QuickTime.
Still does not play.
there is an instruction file.
"First you need DivX 5 (http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/). Then, if you are
on MacOS X, drop "XVIDDelegate.component" into /Library/QuickTime, or if
you are on MacOS 9, drop "XVIDDelegatePPC" into your Extensions folder
and restart."
So i go to dvix.com, and it seems i have to pay $20. I'm really confused, maybe its just frustration blinding me. Most of my avi files played, now they don't.
Thoughts?

It sounds like your hard drive either has a software problem that Disk Utility cannot fix or that the HD has failed (mechanically).
Your Mac may have booted either to your recovery partition or to internet recovery in an attempt to repair the drive- I can't tell from your post.
I'll assume that it was the recovery partition.
Try to boot into internet recovery (hold down option command R at restart), and see if you can repair your HD with Disk Utility. You should also repair permissions while you're there.
If that doesn't work, try to boot into single user mode (restart, hold down ⌘S until you see a black screen with white text) and repair your hard drive. Here's a reference with directions: Repair Your Hard Disk in Single User Mode | Everything Macintosh
If that doesn't work you have a few options:
If your mac originally came with installation disks, you can try to boot from the installation disk and then see if you can repair the HD.
There is a small chance that Techtool Pro 7 will be able to repair your HD if Disk Utility can't.
If none of that works then your HD has probably failed and will need to be replaced, which is not too difficult to do yourself if you can use a screwdriver.

There are two iMacs connected through same router in my house but one refuses to login to facebook and other logged in sites. Local techies are bemused, I have just reinstalled OSX and still have the problem. Login page recycles, I get no further and no errors reported. Safari, Opera and Firefox. Deleted cookies and chain but still no action.

If you have not already done so, read the router's user manual troubleshooting section and/or contact its customer service department/forums.
If still having problems, post back w/details of all you have tried to resolve the problems along w/the troubleshooting solutions that the "local techies" had you try.

Not able to reinstall adobe acrobat 9 pro for mac

I have to reinstall adobe acrobat 9 pro for mac -- I had to reinstall the full CS5 package, and I had no issues reinstalling Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator from the original disks, but when I insert the AA9 Pro disk, it appears to download, and I'm able to open it, but as soon as I eject the disk, it disappears. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. (not sure this has anything to do with it, but the other CS5 disk in the suite package -- for indesign, photoshop and illustrator -- prompted me for my serial number and product code, but when I inserted the disk for AA9 Pro, that didn't happen.) Any suggestions?

There is some process for the CS version where you are supposed to open one of the other products and then complete the Acrobat install/activation. It seems a bit strange to someone like me without CS, but I have seen such several times. You might want to ask in the CS forum about the details. The details of the install is about all you may need to go to the CS forum for -- other Acrobat specific questions are fine here.
If you wait, it may be that other CS users will be by to help with the variations for that install.

Applications are mentioned free, but when we start downloading one dollar is charged in my credit card, but only for the first time when i switch on and use it for the first time one dollar is charged. and from next application it is free. why?

About receiving my credit card being debited for Free App Store Application downloads,
It should be within a few days, but it might vary a bit by bank/provider :
I am in India, if the bank don't refunds , what to do?
Rajagopal.pngr :- It is only a holding charge, it is not a permanent charge. If it isn't refunded within a few days or so (and it quite possibly won't be over a weekend) then you can query the charge with Apple.

What OS?
Id you still have CS2 installed someplace, export the original files as .inx (InDesign Interchange) and convert that instead of the .indd.

2013 MBP 2.5 i5 4Gig 500MBHDD boots slow. It finishes post in the same time as an identical MBP, and then hangs for 30 seconds on one of the ethernet adapters, before finishing the boot. Once booted it is normal.   Turning off airport changes nothig.

2013 MBP 2.5 i5 4Gig 500MBHDD boots slow. It finishes post in the same time as an identical MBP, and then hangs for 30 seconds on one of the ethernet adapters, before finishing the boot. Once booted it is normal.   Turning off airport changes nothing. Hardline adapter is not plugged in. Thunderbolt adapter is not used. Bluetooth is off. Did this out of box. Identical MBP boots to login screen in 36 seconds. Disk repair, permission repair, and safe mode boot have
already been done, no change. Boot time is consistent. Hangs at the same place each time. Right after post. Bad adapter?
Comments, solutions please.

... and so ... now a few days later, success.   I ran
your software but it told me nothing I hadn 't seen
in verbose boot.
Consistently, following good post, the boot hung
for 30 seconds on the adapters, (cards, chips, NICs.
Ethernet cards, whatever you prefer to call them)
either the airport card or the hard line. It would then
proceed at normal pace to the login screen.
Since it came out of the box that way, software
conflict was not a go. I guessed glitched driver or
fetch instruction. I zapped the PRAM (cleared
NVRAM) and reloaded the OS, updates, Garage Band,
iPhoto (one of Apple's true dogs in an otherwise
rare arena) iMovie, Photoshop, Lightroom, their
updates, and my files.   MBP pro now boots to login
in 31 seconds. Note I have turned off as much gee
whiz, rubber band scroll, global swiping and other
hubcaps and hood ornaments as befits how like
things ... and turned off all the Asian and other fonts
I will. ever use.
Best guess ... corrupt driver or corrupt fetch script ...
bad server squirt at factory load.
Thanks for your help, Cheers!

HT1533 SSD PROBLEM: unable to reinstall osx and also failed in backup recovery.

Yesterday my MacBook Pro 2011 suddenly got hanged and freeze. And I have to restart system by hard shutdown. Then I faced this problem every time. I reset nvram but it did not work . Then I thought May be it's corrupt operating system I tried to reinstall new osx maverick from recovery mode but system freeze again during osx downloading process. I tried this 2 more times but the same problem occurred. Afterwards I deleted all ssd drive data in partitions but when I tried to unmount and delete the partitions here I was failed in unmounting partitions. But I deleted all data from all partitions.after this I tried again to reinstall osx but system hung after sometime. I also tried to recover from my time machine backup but the same problem happened and my system got freeze and I have to hard shutdown. I also did hardware diagnostic test which showed everything ok. Now I am realizing that my SSD got corrupt. Could you please help me what I should consider that can fix my problem. I also tried fsck and verify and repair the disk.

Devbird,
are you still able to boot into Recovery mode? If so, select Utilities from the menu bar and run Terminal from there. In the Terminal window, give it the following commands, one per line, separating each command by pressing the Return key at the end of each line:
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
mount
Please include in your reply the full output from these commands.

How to reinstall osx and recover data?

Hi
If I reinstall osx 10.6.8 after hd format, and later connect my time machine external drive, will I get back all my stuff? I mean data, docs programs and so on?
After having played with a linux install, I found partitions ex linux I don't know how to delete and reassign to the mac hd, so I think the easiest way shoul be a fresh reinstall.
Thanks, Gianfranco

Thanks, my osx is already at 10.6.8. I had a lot of fun with Ubuntu, and even if I was warned about issues, wanted to try. I did it because some hardware will not be detected by osx. Afterwards decided to uninstall Ubuntu and switch to W7 for the above. Disappoint: ex linux partitions will not be removed by disk utility, and, more frustrating, Bootcamp does not allow to install Win because it finds that mac hd is not journaled. Of course is not: to be it expects a contigous volume, not parted. So, just to talk about my experience, mac architecture is very rigid, both in hardware management and software: it wants to decide where to store or pick data according to itunes philosofy (not mine) and, at the moment don't find any advantage respect Win/Linux exept a beautiful piece of furniture. Sorry for my complaints, you were very kind and gave me a helpful hint, but I'm starting to regret the iMac/iPad purchase.
Thanks for all, Gianfranco

Question about reinstalling osx and apple id activation

if i reinstall os x fresh on my laptop without first de-authorizing my apple id, will it use another authorization when i go to authorize again? i'm confused if it goes by hardware id or what and i can't seem to find an answer anywhere.

There aren't any "authorizations" as you are referring. There is no limit to the number of times you can reinstall the OS.
If you erase the drive or replace the drive, Internet Recovery will reinstall the originally shipped OS.
If you purchased Mountain Lion separately and installed over another OS, you'll need the Apple ID you used to purchase Mountain Lion.

Reinstalled OSX and Appleworks went bye bye?

What gives? I decided to do a fresh install of my ibook and everything is there EXCEPT my Appleworks program that was there the day I bought it. A little help ont his would be great thanks.

I just reinstall my OSX also and I have my software Install/restore that came with my iMac.
After going through all the first layers of screens, I choose my hard drive and it says software restore in installing (or something like that I forget).
Then another screen comes on saying to "insert the CD that looks like this" except what its showing is a picture is of the CD that's already running.
There is only a quit button, nothing else.
How am I supposed to install the software if I can't get beyond this screen?
I just had to reinstall OSX 10.4, I'm using the software install disk that came with my iMac - which came with 10.2 installed.
