I need an expert for this one...please help!
See if you can follow me...
My mom has an OLD imac-that she has boosted with memory-and upgraded to OS 10.3
I have a new intel IMAC...with isight.
I have tried to use the isight camera in imovie-to record the kids and send her little quicktime clips.
She has quick time 7-no matter what she does-she gets only audio, not video and it says that she is missing something that quicktime needs?
I can't find it, and after reinstalling it several times i have given up. Is it possible for her to ever watch these movies?
Sounds like a video card issue-am I on the right track? Would an older version of quick time work.
Please help a grandma see her grandkids!!
H.264 requires QuickTime 7. The error message (missing components) proves to me that she is using an older version of QuickTime.
Not necessarily. If Mom has a G3 iMac, it's not going to be able to play H.264 movies (they require a G4 processor or better) and so may be reporting a missing component because the H.264 component won't run on her G3, not because it's a true "missing" component.
Regards.

Ever since the last update, My iTunes continues to quit unexpectedly. It will open for one second and then close. Anyone have a solution for this. Please help.
I've tried my best to troubleshoot. . . opening in safe mode nothing seems to work.
In the problem report, this is the error that stood out:
Crashed Thread: 8 Dispatch queue: com.apple.iad.iadidmanager
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000090Hi there navicin79,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the articles below helpful. The first thing I would try is reinstalling iTunes as outlined in the first article.

Banned from a website. Need to use for work. Please help.
I was recently banned from a website. I didn't do anything wrong and they won't tell me why I have been banned. My husband had an account on the website and as soon as they closed my account, they also closed his. We don't know if someone else used out IP address on this site and violated their rules or if we unknowingly violated their rules ourselves; they won't tell us.
The problem is that we need to be able to access this website for our work. We work from home and it's essential. We weren't sure if they had banned us by IP address, so we had a friend create an account. The account is legit and legal. He then gave us the username and password. We accessed the account from our computer at home and the account was almost immediately shut down. The friend was able to straighten things out with the company and get the account set back up, but we cannot use our computer at home to access this site. It's obvious that any access by this IP address will result in ANY account being closed.
We have a PC desktop, a MacBook laptop, and a wireless connection for the laptop (not sure how much info is needed, so I'm trying to be thorough).
I'm not going to ask someone to help me hack a site or anything. And after hours of research, I think we understand enough about proxy servers to use one of those effectively. I also know that I can call my ISP and request an IP address change (which may or may not be honored).
However, I have read other message boards and learned about cookies that websites send to your computer to identify you. I understand that most of those cookies can be cleared out by simply clearing the info from the browsing history (including cache, cookies, etc.) But I also read that they sometimes send files that are buried deeper in the computer. So here's my question...
How can I erase EVERYTHING that this website might have sent to my computer to be able to identify it? I must use the laptop to access the website. I'll work on the IP address issue on my own. But we can't use the desktop to access the site for reasons that are irrelevant and the explanation would be even more long-winded than what I've already typed here. We have to use the laptop. And I need to be ABSOLUTELY certain that the site can't identify the computer. I won't try to use my friend's account again until I'm certain that it won't be closed.
Let me reiterate this for those who are concerned: the friend has give permission for us to use his account, we have done nothing illegal on the website we've been blocked from, nor do we plan to do anything illegal on the website. We have done nothing illegal in any way, and I want LEGAL solutions to this problem. If we are not able to access this website, we will suffer financially in a severe way and are desperate to make sure that we can clear out cookies or whatever other tracking info has been put into the MacBook.
Can someone please help us?Thank you for the info on onyx. I will try that. I actually took my computer to the Apple store and someone there "cleaned" it out for me.
As for why we can't resolve the issue with the website, we tried to talk to them about it but they just cut us off and said they weren't going to discuss it and that they wouldn't reopen the account.
We have one account as employees and the other accounts (the ones that were closed) were customer accounts. The two departments are separate, and we do not want to bring our account to their attention again and risk them connecting the customer accounts with the employee account and then closing the employee account as well.
We were using the customer account to monitor the employee account. Quality of video and sound, that kind of thing. Nothing fishy there. But since the guy on the phone didn't make the connection that it was our own account we were monitoring, he shut us down. Customers do the same thing to us and basically rip us off for thousands of dollars every week, and the company never gives those customers any trouble about it. So it's unbelievably frustrating. Also, we figured out how to do this by watching the activity of the other employees, since there's no "training" and we all learn from one another by watching. We don't know what would happen if someone there made the connection... whether they would just say "oops" and reopen the customer accounts, or whether they would be irritated about us using the customer accounts in that way and just shut us down completely. We'd rather not find out.
As of now, we're using a friend's account to monitor our video and sound quality. But we're still using the same computer. That's why it needed to be "cleaned." -
I have the iPad 1which is backed up to iCloud my mum has given me her ipad2 how do I get my things of iCloud on this it does not give me an option as this one is per owned and does it store my kindle as well please help
To restore your iCloud backup go to Settings>Geneneral>Reset, tap Erase All Conent and settings, then go through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts (sign into the iCloud account containing your backup, agree to the terms and conditions, then choose your backup to restore to). Be sure it's connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.
Note: the iPad 2 will have to be running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up in order to restore the backup. If it isn't, you'll need to update it in iTunes first. -
my i phone show me a pop up every 10 seconds ( this accessory is not optimized for this iphone) how can i fix this prob,; please i need for help
The "not optimised" message is often caused by dirt or debris in the sync port at the bottom of the phone. Have a close look in there and clean out (very carefully) if necessary.

Please Help!!!!
It helped earlier but it has come back again. I don't know what to do. I tried what you said earlier but this time even this is not working either. And quite intrestingly my phone won't turn off. I turn it off, it goes off and then restarts on its own and then keep giving the same message again and again.
Could it be a charging cable, is there any chance that the cable which was working fine one day could turn to be "incompatible" with iphone the other day????????
Please help -
I can login ok and open some links but unable to open links to other pages within site. I have tried a similar fantasy league of supercoach which has a very similar format and all links on that site work ok. Is this a viral thing or computer issue or site issue? I can access the site via other computers and all ok then. Please help
I saved my driver install file, so I tried reinstalling that, then tried updating to the latest driver for my video card, updating quicktime, uninstalling and installing an older version of quicktime instead, and nothing has worked. I think I'm back to my little red herring. So after some googling, it seemed "cineform.cab" was a Sony Vegas thing (so I had it somehow still living in my files from a couple years back), so I got a disc from my friend who'd made me try Vegas in the first place, and reinstalled. The "cineform.cab" file is back, yet my problem remains. *headdesk* So that part is looking busted as to being my problem.
But I'm back to thinking about that Cineform Neo Scene trial, and it would be a huge coincidence if uninstalling that didn't cause the problem (seeing as I've ruled out almost everything under the sun). And what Neo Scene does is convert mov files to avi for better playback and editing in Premiere, and it installs something that makes those avi files playable in Windows Media Player. And I'm getting weirdness in Premiere with mov files and in Windows Media Player with certain avi files. It *has* to be that that trial unistalled (or installed and didn't remove, but I doubt this since I know all was working smoothly while the trial was still active) something it should not have. Right? Or am I just going crazy here?
I guess it's time to try seeing if Cineform tech support will help me without me buying their product. Like a list of everything their uninstaller kills would be nice. -

I received a "how to" sheet of how to be able to view this website but it wants me to download Internet Explorer (excuse me while i say yuck!)...
So the directions state: Under "Tools" click on "compatibility view settings". Where is says "add this website" write in the website and then click add and close. Log off and reboot.
I live on Mozilla on all my devices. I recommend it to anyone who has not been introduced yet. I cringe to think of being forced to use internet explorer!!!
Thank you for all you do!!!hello ETRU, "compatibility view" is a concept of internet explorer that other browsers do not have. do you have any particular problem viewing it with firefox?

I am trying to synch my recently added music via importing cd in library, the cd is in my itunes, but will not synch. When i had this problem before, a tick was not in the 'synch recently added music' box, but i cant find this now, my model number is MB528BT. Please help
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

i have one of the old macbooks and wish to hook it up to my tv. do i need a mini dvi to hdmi adapter plus a 3 rca phono lead with a jack for the sound. please help as im useless at this stuff. cheers
First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV. -
I bought CS6 creative suite. As of now i need to work each application in separate separate system. Can any one please help me how to solve this problem.
I saw the below quote on Adobe forum
"You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each."
If i install each application in single single system the system count is more than two. In this case, are we have any license issue? Please advice how the problem will solve?
If possible please send the advise to my mail id: <Removed by Moderator>
Thanks
Uvaraj SI already answered that. If you purchased a Suite then you can only install and activate it on two machines. Even if you only insdtall one of the applications of that suite, it counts as one activation of the suite. You cannot take the six or seven different applications that might be in a suite and install and activate them in six or seven different machines... only two machines.
If your scenario will allow for it, one thing you can do is install the programs on all the different machines and only activate two of the machines at any given time. If you need to activate a program on a third machine then you need to deactivate on one of the currently activate machines first so that you have an open activation to use again. I do not remember if there is a limit to the total number of activations you can process for the life of the software. -
