I lost my ipos shuffle

i lost my ipod shuffle , is there any way to find out it .through online..like the mobile phone lost cases

This probably won't affect you with your IPod Shuffle but if you ever lose something like an IPod Touch which stores your Apple ID and Password in the Device you will need to immediately change your Password for your Apple ID if you are unable to locate your Device in ICloud.

HT1689 I lost my iPod shuffle and want to know how to deactivate it from my account using my iPad.

I lost my iPod shuffle and want to know if I can deactivate it from my account using my iPad. Is is possible or do i have to use my computer? It's not accessible. Can someone help?

The only devices that are authorized to an iTunes account are computers. iPads, iPods, iPhones, AppleTVs don't count as authorized devices. There's no need to do anything.

Lost I-Pod Shuffle 1st Gen. in NYC

If you have found my I-pod shuffle in the NYC area please contact apple with the serial number. I am completely lost without it! Hopefully there is a good Samaritan somewhere in this city.

Amen to that!
The main problem, as I see it, is that the old Dell laptop did not have a burner. Instructions are provided on how to transfer files via DVD / CD by disk -+if the machine has a burner+. I’ve gone so far as to insert an SD card reader / adapter into the USB port on the host Dell laptop computer, download the music files onto the card, remove the card from the laptop, insert it into my new Dell office desktop (Vista 64 os) that has a burner, transfer the files from the SD card onto that hard drive and then burn those MPEG4 files onto a 4.7 gig DVD. Subsequent top that, I inserted said disk into the new Acer and added all files to the Itunes library.
The file transfer took, but the music will only play if the disk is in the drive.
I also attempted to load the files using the Apple tutorial for importing CD’s. Only problem is, there is no import function present as shown on the tutorial. Itunes is, without a doubt, a major source of aggravation and a complete waste of my past two days! And... no Apple has virtually no support!
Does anyone have a suggestion?

New ipos shuffle does not working

I just received a new ipod shuffle for my daughter, install ipod Sept 23 software and itune successfully. she selected her song, loaded successfully but when she try to listen to them from ipod, there nothing working and songs are not running.
I followed all available trouble shooting measurement that is posted.
Any help please, she is alreay getting angry from Apple and I need to help her quickly
Thanks in advance to any one has a 2 cents here

See the other comments on this board, I had the same problem.
The end result was taking it back to the mac store. They tried restoring the previous version of the firmware, but even the mac would not accept it. They exchanged my ipod without question.

Audiobook on Ipos shuffle won't bookmark when turning off

Can someone tell me how to make sure that when i turn off my shuffle while listening to audio book , it will restart wher i left it when i turn it back on ? It does not always restart where i stopped...mostly overnight situation...

Dan,
Are you getting your books from Audible.com? If so,
be sure to download in format 3 not 4. Also, try
turning OFF your Shuffle while it is still blinking
in PAUSE.
Roger
Roger, spoke with Audible tech support and they confirm what you say. However, they are not certain what the issue is except to say that it is Apple's problem (for now.) I have over 100 audiobooks and have been using the Shuffle successfully all during 2005 using format 4. The format issue has only recently developed and I suspect that Audible has some part of the problem. The reason is that I have no problem with older format 4 audiobooks; only recent downloads. Then again only recently has the Shuffle been updated to OS version 1.3.
To tell the truth I don't notice any difference between format 3 and 4, except that format 3 is half the file size of format 4. So, from now on I'm just going to download format 3 and save the hard drive space.
As for book marks. I've found that if you hit pause once and wait for the flashing green light to stop, then hold down the pause button until the amber light goes out that the book will resume where left off. Also, power off the unit because the standby mode (according to what I've read from Apple) will diminish the power suppley in about 32 hours. (Could this be the reason some Shuffle user report that their Shuffle stops half-way through an audiobook?) This book marking technique works for format 3 & 4 audiobooks.
This is somewhat OT, but useful info for those who use the shuffle primarily for audiobooks. It's a pain that the slider switch to turn on the Shuffle needs to be in the mid position to play the audio books in a linear fashion. What I've done is trim a sliver off the edge of a credit card and position it so the slider is prevented from sliding all the way down into the random play position. A small strip of scotch tape holds it into position.

IPos shuffle stops randomly

My kids bought me a brand new iPod shuffle for mothers day 2 weeks ago. Every time I use it, it works for about 5-6 songs and then just stops. I have checked the voiceover and it is fully charged. There are no songs on the play list that have not been purchased through iTunes (ie no "rogue" songs :-)). I have gone through the process of restoring the iPod, but that didnt work either.
I do long distance running and this is driving me crazy, as I simply cant run for 2 hrs with no music!!!!
Can anyone help with a potential solution?
Many thanks
Karen

I had this problem for the last couple ot months and wasn't able to fix it on my own. I went to the Apple store and described the problem to the Genius Bar, and they exchanged the ipod for a new one. So far it seems to be working fine.
It may be worth mentioning that the previous ipod had the software version 1.0.2 installed, and the newer one has 1.0.1. Since it working fine, I'm holding off on updating right now.

Brand new iPos shuffle can't connect. Connector show abour 1mm of metal

When I connect the USB cable or ear plugs, the connector don't seem to go all the way in. I still see some of the metal, about 1mm of it. It does charge, but is not seen by iTune.

hey Kualinar!
Here is an article that describes this issue and will help you resolve it:

Cannot sync my ipod shuffle to download from itunes

Why doesn't itunes recognize my ipos shuffle - I can't download from my pc to my ipod. It doesn't show under devices - what am I doing wrong??

Just to make sure you are looking at the right place in iTunes, in the iTunes window, there is a sidebar along the left side of window. When the iPod shuffle is connected to USB, does it say "DEVICES" in the sidebar? If so, the iPod shuffle's name should appear below DEVICES (you may need to click Show next to DEVICES).
When you connected it for the first time, iTunes should have asked you about setting up the shuffle. If that did not happen, there is some problem.
Basic troubleshooting would be to shut down (power off) the computer. At the same time, use this reset procedure on the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Then, start up computer, with shuffle NOT connected. Run iTunes. Connect the shuffle.
If this is a recent purchase, you can contact Apple's official tech support by phone
http://www.apple.com/contact/
(where it says "Phone")
or, if you have an Apple Store nearby, make a reservation at the Genuis Bar

Can i use my ipod shuffle wall charger for my itouch?

can i use my ipos shuffle wall charger for my itouch?

No you only can use the 30-pin connector to charge an iPod Touch.

Can I use an ipod shuffle 4th gen charger with an ipod shuffle 2nd generation?

Basically, last week I lost my ipod shuffle (4th gen). ****. so consequently I have bought a second hand 2nd gen shuffle, thinking that the USB - minijack cable would work fine - and it fits perfectly. But my 'new' ipod is not showing up in itunes, and neither is it illuminating...
I spoke to Apple Support, and they suggested plugging it in for an extended period of time, as the battery may be 100% flat, but after an hour still nothing.
Any ideas, folks?
Ta!

The USB cable for the 4th gen iPod has a different connector at the iPod end. This is the replacement part for the one used by the 4th (and 3rd) gen shuffle
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC003ZM/A
and it states at the bottom that it is only compatible with the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle.
This is the replacement part for a second gen shuffle (with a "mini-dock").
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A
It's somewhat expensive compared to $49 for a brand new shuffle. There are cheaper third-party replacements (most have just the connector with no dock) available on Amazon and eBay, and elsewhere. Just make sure it is described as being for the 2nd gen shuffle.

IPOD SHUFFLE 2GB (4TH GEN)

I have an Ipod Shuffle (4thGen) and for some very strange reason everytime i try to register my Ipos shuffle it crashes out Itunes and freezes now the Ipod Shuffle is recognised in both Windows & Itunes and syncs fine there is no issues there. The only issue i have is i cant register Ipod Shuffle with Apple as everytime i do try and register it freezes Itunes so wont let me register as i have a gift card to redeem and dont want to redeem it if not goting to be registered to new Ipod Shuffle.

Your shuffle is not like your iOS devices. The shuffle itself is not involved (in any way) in purchasing and downloading from the iTunes Store. Your computer running iTunes is doing that part, and it does not care if you have a shuffle or not. Therefore, for your gift card, the IMPORTANT step is to make sure you are signed in to the iTunes Store using your Apple ID, on your computer.
Unlike your shuffle, your iOS devices (iPhone and iPod touch) ARE computers. They are used to purchase and download from the iTunes Store. That is why they need to be signed in ("registered") to your Apple ID.
Once you have added all of the songs to your iTunes library, whether the songs came from the iTunes Store, music CDs, or other source, THEN you sync your songs to the shuffle as desired. It does not matter if your shuffle is registered with Apple or not. That is just a serial number tracking procedure that has absolutely nothing to do with using the shuffle (or with using a gift card to buy songs from the iTunes Store).
It is important that you use the same Apple ID with the iTunes Store on the computer, that you use with your iOS devices. This is because you can reload previous purchases at no cost. So, if you purchased songs using that Apple ID on your iPhone or iPod touch, you can redownload them using the iTunes Store on your computer. Go to the iTunes Store Home screen, and click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. You need to be signed in using that same Apple ID. On the Purchased screen, you can re-download previous purchases made using that Apple ID.

HT3480 IPOD Shuffle USB Cable

Dear Friends,
I lost my Ipode shuffles' carger cable. The same item is not available with major ipod dealers/resellers.
IPod shuffle price is AED 199
IPod shuffle Cable price AED 79 Delivery charge AED 50 = AED 129. (65% of the New package)
Apple customer care said Sorry!!!!
Do you know any shop which is dealing with this cable in Dubai/Abu Dhabi

If that's a 2nd gen shuffle, which is the one shown in the image, the linked USB cable from the Apple Store is the wrong one. That cable is only for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle, as noted under Compatibility in the description. The 2nd gen shuffle has a different connector.
This is the replacement for the 2nd gen shuffle
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A/apple-ipod-shuffle-dock
It is a bit costly, especially compared to a brand new 4th gen shuffle for $49. There are third-party replacements that cost less at other online stores. They should work, but make sure the item is described as being for the 2nd gen shuffle, not 3rd/4th gen.

Ipod shuffle missing is there anyway to find it?

I lost my iPod shuffle in my house. But I am not sure where. I am almost positive my sister stole it but she always declines that she did. Is there any possible way to set off a ringer or a noise from my MacBook by the serial number or anything so that I could find it? I just got it for Christmas and I am in panic mode and I will be in so much trouble. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled or the iPod been completely restored).
If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.

DivX "for Mac" and Safari -- anyone get it to work on Snow Leopard?

Pardon me for the length of this post -- it's just a very involved question to which DivX has no answers, and I've literally wasted this entire week trying to get the so-called DivX "Bundle for Mac" to work, with absolutely no joy.
27" iMac Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz, 12 GB RAM, OS X 10.6.7
Safari (v. 5.0.5 [6533.21.1])
Safari Extensions:
DivX HiQ 2.1.1.94
DivX Plus Web Player HTML5 <video> 2.1.1.94
As anyone who has used YouTube in the past year or however long this option has been available, many videos, under the regular YouTube control bar at the bottom of the video window, have an additional option: DivX HiQ, with a blue "play" button with black arrow, and in white text on black, the message "Press play for higher quality video." EVERY SINGLE time, until yesterday (about which more anon) I've selected DivX HiQ, the YouTube screen turns into the gray DivX Plus player window for a few seconds, sometimes I get a brief "Buffering…" message (sometimes not)* (see below), then a window pops up telling me "DivX Plus Web Player could not download the video, please check your internet connection." (screen shots on request).
I have DL'd AND installed -- several times over the past few days -- DivX for Mac, version 7.3 (right up-to-date as of 11-30-10 -- great support for the Mac OS), with little or no success or noticeable results. Finally, yesterday, it somehow (I thought) installed correctly: at least instead of nothing whatsoever happening after the install, this time I was whisked magically away to <<http://www.divx.com/en/software/download/installed/mac?os=mac>> where I was rather breathlessly informed "Congratulations! You can now enjoy the highest quality digital video | divx.com." Well, this was something new -- this was the first time I'd ever gotten this far. Then I was shown many movies, promising new marvels:
The first movie informed me "You have successfully installed DivX software." This WAS something new. Then it told me about the "DivX Plus Web Player… Now Featuring: DivX HiQ… Boost web video quality and performance… … Look for the DivX HiQ Button on your favorite video sites… see better quality and performance with a simple click… Try it out on your favorite sites… YouTube. Vimeo. And more.
Then I played the NEXT movie, all about the DivX Plus Player, and here I TRULY saw something I'd never seen before: *a DivX Plus Player window, that actually said " Connecting… Buffering: … " and then -- mirabile dictu! -- an actual video began to play, and actually continued to play, with no stops, fits, or error windows, right up until the end. This WAS something new under the sun. It continued, extolling the manifold virtues of "DivX to go," which was of no use to me. The next video was about the DivX Plus Codec Pack, and the video told me about the wonderful things DivX could do in Windows 7, if I was brain-dead enough to USE Windows 7. Useless info, but that video, too, opened up the way I believe the *HiQ videos are supposed to open up in YouTube, for example: "Connecting… Buffering: …," and then actually opening and playing. BTW, I hate to sound like a troglodytic Luddite, but I have no idea what "MKV" video is.
The final video, which ALSO opened up the way I believe the *HiQ videos are supposed to open up in YouTube, for example: "Connecting… Buffering: …," spoke to me about the manifold joys of DivX Plus converter, which ALSO requires the DivX Player application, and since the DivX Player application (v.7.2 (build 10_0_0_184, Copyright © 2006-2009 DivX, Inc.), which, I was given to understand, was actually a PART of the DivX software I had finally "successfully installed" (according to divx.com's delirious greeting), has never worked, none of what all these videos talked about was going to do me much good. HOW has it never worked, you ask? It has never worked in this way: I click on the DivX Player app icon, the DivX Player window opens, and the Mac OS beach ball spins merrily away, and spins, and spins, and spins -- at this point, I usually go to the kitchen for another cup of the strengthening coffee and the hopefully headache-reducing ibuprofen. When I come back, the beach ball is still spinning, so, resignedly, I go to the "Force Quit" command, where, invariably, I see the message "DivX Player not responding," and, resignedly, I force quit it. Again. This scenario has occurred without variation every single time I've tried to open the DivX Player application. It has never actually opened correctly, it has always shown up in the "Force Quit" window with the comment "DivX Player not responding," and I have always had to Force Quit it.
Now Here's what may be termed the icing on the cake: fairly well buried in the "DivX for Mac" install package is a pdf "read me." Among many other fables is THIS whopper:
"For online video tutorials visit the following URL in your web browser: http://go.divx.com/mac/tutorials"
I did just that, and though the link works, there IS no page on the DivX site for "Mac tutorials." When you click on the link, you get redirected to "http://support.divx.com/faq/view/supportFAQen100/video_tutorials_main." Except for a video tutorial under "DivX Converter_ -- for which I have no use -- entitled "How To Edit Your DivX Converter for Mac Output Settings," and these two: "How To Export To DivX In Final Cut Pro for Mac," and "How To Export To DivX Using QuickTime On A Mac" -- neither of which do me the slightest bit of good, since A) I don't use, nor can I afford, Final Cut Pro, and B) what good would it to to export ANYTHING to DivX when the DivX Player for Mac does not, and has never, done anything but hang until Force Quitted?
A brief digression on that very subject of "hanging:" there's a little section in the obscure "DivX for Mac" pdf that reads:
"5. Known issues
Network connection is lost during download
A lost network connection in the middle of a download may hang the DivX Player For Mac. If this occurs, you may 'Force Quit' the DivX Player For Mac by simultaneously clicking command-option-escape and selecting the application from the list or by right-clicking the icon in the dock and selecting 'Force Quit.' You may then resume the download by re-launching the DivX Player, selecting 'Download Manager” from the File menu and clicking 'Resume.'"
Wonderful advice, if I could ever get to the point where I was actually downloading something, but since MY particular edition of DivX Player for Mac saves me all that bother by hanging immediately upon launch, DivX has very kindly saved me the trouble of having to go through all that "Force Quit" - "Resume" nonsense. Of course, I never get to download anything or use the DivX Player on YouTube or anywhere else, so that's a bit of a downside.
So back to the putative "Mac tutorials" on the non-existent "http://go.divx.com/mac/tutorials" page: other than the three totally non-germane examples I cited above, there is nothing that I can find on the re-direct page (http://support.divx.com/faq/view/supportFAQen100/video_tutorials_main) that is the least concerned with the usage or behavior of any component of DivX on a Macintosh computer. That's certainly not uncommon, but for a company that purports to sell products that actually work on the Mac OS X platform, EVERYTHING about the DivX site is so totally Windows-centric, one would be inclined to believe that DivX is not even aware the Mac OS X platform exists. For example, here's the list of tutorials under "DivX 101 - Learn How" on the page that, according to the DivX for Mac Read Me, was supposed to solve all my problems with running DivX on a Mac:
Featured Video Tutorials
How to register your PS3 for DivX VOD playback
How do I make DivX player my default video player?
How to register your DivX Certified device with the DivX Plus Player
How to stream DivX Plus HD (MKV) files to your Xbox 360
How to use the DivX Plus Converter
Featured Text Guides
DivX Plus Converter for Windows User Guide
DivX Plus Player for Windows User Guide
DivX Codec 5.x User Guide
DivX Codec 6 and Virtual Dub Guide
It's wonderful that DivX has tutorials dealing with XBox360 and PS3, but the Mac seems to have been lost in the shuffle -- I think, from an aesthetic point, the guy in the sideways hat and the emphasis on animé and "blow 'em up" games in what few tutorials are actually there pretty much sums up DivX's idea of their market focus. Maybe they're right, but if this "free" version, that so far I have not been able to get to work as advertised on my 27" iMac, is supposed to entice any Mac user into forking over even the piddling $20.00 for the "Pro" version, the "free" version isn't DivX any "gotta have it" favors.
Now for the final mystery: I have two Safari -- v5.0.5 (6533.21.1) -- extensions from DivX:
1. DivX HiQ 2.1.1.94, which is supposed to allow you to watch videos on YouTube, Vimeo, etc. in the DivX Player for Mac, but refuses to work when enabled: EVERY SINGLE time I've selected DivX HiQ, the YouTube screen turns into the gray DivX player window for a few seconds, then an error window pops up that says "DivX Plus Web Player could not download the video, please check your internet connection."
2. DivX Plus Web Player HTML5 <video> 2.1.1.94, the little blurb in the Safari Extensions window for which says "Increase performance and video formats for your HTML5 <video>
Clicking on the "by DivX, Inc." link in the Safari Extensions window of either of these extensions takes me to http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/web-player
"High-quality video shouldn’t stop at your browser. DivX Plus® Web Player gives you the best web video performance around, even on sites using Flash®. The latest feature, DivX HiQ™ beta, lets you replace the default Flash player on popular sites for improved performance. Of course you can still watch stunning DivX® and DivX Plus HD (MKV) videos right in your browser, and even enjoy MKV features like multiple audio tracks, subtitles and 5.1 channel AAC audio."
That's all well and good, but, not when it doesn't work. I don't know what the story is with these Safari Extensions: a manual (unfortunately the only way you can do it), category by category search of Apple's "Safari Extensions Gallery" turns up NO information about these extensions, neither does -- as far as I can tell -- a search of the DivX site. Am I supposed to use BOTH extensions? Neither? One or the other? Which? So far, if I use them, I get the HiQ option in YouTube (and elsewhere), but when I click on it, I get the error message above, and the window reverts to the usual plain old YouTube window. If I disable the DivX Safari extensions, I don't even get the HiQ option.
Has ANYONE gotten the DivX for Mac Bundle v7.1, or even the DivX Plus Web Player for Mac, v2.1.1, to actually work on a Mac running OS X 10.6.7?
If so, PLEASE tell me how you got it to work.
I'd gladly for over the 20 bucks for this product if it actually worked, but not until it does.
Bart Brown

Well, I can start banging my head against the brick wall again.
"I have never knowingly come across Divx in any shape or form. YouTube uses either Flash or HTML5."

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. After some more experimenting, i finally got it to work ... However, not every embedded DivX movie will play.
I just deleted another codec in the Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime folder. (One of the codecs mentioned on http://perian.org/#support was still in the folder). Before I had only deleted the files whose name has "DivX" in it.
I did NOT install the DivX Web Player plugin.
Now some DivX videos play, some don't... So maybe I should re-install the DivX Web Plugin? But the Web Plugin never worked for me ... If I re-install it, won't I go back to where I started?

It could be that your previous DivX player was out of date.
As Perian says, you need both.
First, I certainly wish you (or my search of Apple Discussions, which, inexplicably, did not turn up this discussion) had referred me to this discussion before -- it would have saved a LOT of time.
Now, to your reply to Philippe Pauwels: "As Perian says, you need both." Both WHAT, exactly?
From the initial release of Perian 0.5, September 29, 2006, to the latest release, Perian 1.2.2 - Tuesday, April 13, 2011, there is not a single mention of DivX in the entire 2006 to 2011 version history. The only information on the Perian support page regarding DivX is the paragraph that states, in part, "Please consider removing obsolete QuickTime Components: ...DivX, DivX Decoder..."
Can you please tell me what you mean by "Perian says, you need both," in regard to putative DivX Extensions, Plug-Ins, Components, whatever?
Finally, on July 12, 2009, you posted, in a reply to martin Alper, a list of "the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear/play pretty much everything that the net can throw at you." Taking into consideration that it's 2 years later and most versions have newer updates -- including Mac OS X itself -- some items are no longer among us, and some NEW ones have shown up. could you please update or comment on this list, for the benefit of all sufferers?
Thank you very much,
Bart Brown
Your list as of July 12, 2009, taking into consideration your wise caveat that "nothing in life carries a guarantee!:
The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3 and 4, QT 7.4.x, 7.5.x and 7.6 and OS 10.4.11 and 10.5.7.
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 11.1 for Mac from:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlas h
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
It is suggested that you first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2009-001 (and for Tiger only, 2009-002). (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
And there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs:

Recommendation: Close all applications before installing any of the above, repair permissions, reboot, and repair permissions again.
Thanks again

PS: You wrote "It is a pity you chose a camera that produces video in that format! As you have discovered it is incompatible with iMovie." Uhh, I don't know where this question came from -- more stray copying and pasting, perhaps? I have no camera, and am not trying to do anything pertinent to this discussion with iMovie.
