I recently downloaded a series of instructional videos.  They are in mp4 format and rather large (~500MB on average).  When I try and open them with Quicktime (default) they will not play.  Are there file size restrictions?  I have gone through all of the most recent software updates.  Any suggestions would be great.  Thanks.

Try VLC Media Player.  It has a reputation for playing just about anything you throw at it.

  • With purchased music videos they will not play, an error comes up"The requested URP was not fopund on thsi server", and video doesn't play?

    I ahve purchased 5 music vidoes from iTunes and they will not play on my iPhone4. The error message that appears is:
    "The requested URL was not fopund on this server"
    I am not sure how to fix this so I can watch my videos?

    It all depends on exactly how you move the library from one machine to the other. The database holding information about your library is normally in a folder called iTunes, with the media in a subfolder called iTunes Media. In this layout you can usually copy the entire iTunes folder from one machine to the other and it will work. If the media folder is split to a new location however then often the links to tracks will fail on a new computer.
    You shoud find that the FindTracks script is able to repair the links in your library.
    I'm not sure I know what is going on with the purchased music, however if you enable Edit > Preferences > Store > Automatic Downloads > Music you should be able to recover your past store purchases.

  • Am I able to use Microsoft Office when i switch users on my Macbook Air? I can find the applications, Excel Word etc, but when I try to open them it keeps taking me to a software update for Microsoft Office. Any tips on what to do???

    I use 2 accounts, one for work and one for personal.
    I have Microsoft Office, in my applications, and I can find it in my work user account, but when I try to open it, it keeps doing start up for Auto updates. and wont open the application. It works fine in my personal (Admin) account which is where I did migration when I bought the laptop. And I've looked on here for similar problems, and everyone says if it's in your applications it should work, but I can't open mine.
    Anyone know what I can do?

    Go to the main Library folder and look for a folder called Application Support / Microsoft.
    There are a few folders in there, and you may have to do some digging. In one of them (mine is called MAU2.0), there should be a file called Microsoft Autoupdate. Open it.
    It looks like this:
    check the button for manual updates.
    That should let you open the apps without triggering an automatic update.

  • Are there file size restrictions when utilizing the time lapse feature in iMovie?

    I am attempting to compile several hours (10 to be exact) worth of video footage from a Go-Pro that I would like to condense into one time lapsed video using iMovie. After modifying the speed for the clips (31 total individual clips) my computer is unable to play back. I end up "beach balling" and waiting for the processed clip to load for an undetermined amount of time --so far only resulting in the program 'not responding', pressuring me to have to force quit iMovie altogether. (The icon on the clip itself updates to depict the 'fast forward' rabbit, and the physical clip size does shrink to lead me to believe that the time lapse successful applied). If the clip does play to begin with, it is very quickly
    Any advice on how to achieve hours worth of video footage without using other programs? I've tried speeding each individual clip with time lapse one by one, but adding even two of the 20 minute clips crashes the program.
    any assistance or advice is extremely appreciated.

  • TS1717 i recently downloaded two tracks from itunes: they will not play in my windows media center even though i have added them to that location. any idea what other trouble shooting i can attempt on this issue??

    I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
    The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

  • I prepare chronologies in word, and i am trying to do the same in pages using tables and cells. But somtimes i need a cell to wrap onto the next page but I can't work out how to do it - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    I prepare chronologies in word, and I am trying to do the same in pages using tables and cells. But sometimes I need a cell to wrap onto the next page because the contents are bigger than the page or the space left on the page,  but I can't work out how to do it - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    As far as I know, Apple is free to choose to offer this or that feature.
    They never said that they want to clone Word or even compete with it.
    Differences between tables in both worlds are numerous.
    In Pages (or Numbers)
    - we can't sort a single column
    - we can't sort by row
    - we can't insert or remove a single cell
    - a cell can't cross pages boundaries
    If I understand well these design choices match :

    Apple Human Interface Guidelines:
    Apply the 80 Percent Solution
    During the design process, if you discover problems with your product design, you might consider applying the 80 percent solution‚ that is, designing your software to meet the needs of at least 80 percent of your users. This type of design typically favors simpler, more elegant approaches to problems.
    If you try to design for the 20 percent of your target audience who are power users, your design may not be usable by the other 80 percent of users. Even though that smaller group of power users is likely to have good ideas for features, the majority of your user base may not think in the same way. Involving a broad range of users in your design process can help you find the 80 percent solution.

  • Hi there, my iMac has automatically been deleting files from my thumb drive when I try to open them.  The lost files aren'tin the trash or anywhere else I can think of.  Any ideas?

    Hi there, my iMac has automatically been deleting files from my thumb drive when I try to open them.  The lost files aren'tin the trash or anywhere else I can think of.  Any ideas?

    If one drive works and the other doesn't that points the finger at the errant drive. They are cheap, replace it. To check formatting right click it in Finder and choose Get Info and look for Format type. Finally do you eject it when removing it or do you just pull it out of the USB connection?

  • I use my camera for video and photos.  When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play on my ipad. Is there a way I can get them to play?

    I use my camera for video and photos.  When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play.
    Does anyone know how I can make this work?

    Yvonne-
    I haven't tried videos on my camera yet.  Do you use the Videos App to play them?  I don't think they will play in the Photos App.
    If yours are in a format that is not in Vazandrew's list, you may need to sync them to your computer and convert them to M4V or MP4 format.  You can use a program like HandBrake to do the conversion.  <HandBrake>  Once converted, you can sync them back to the iPad and they should play.
    This may not meet your needs, but the alternative appears to be getting a different camera.  I don't know of another Video App that might work.

    Hi folks,
    I found a solution in case your MATCH is still buggy...
    JUST BOOT YOUR MAC HOLDING THE SHIFT KEY (until you see a progress bar).
    Then in itunes disable and re-enable iTunes Match.
    It should rescan all your library and eventually works.
    At the end just reboot your Mac normally.
    Best regards from Paris.
