Internet, and video or audio and media player--HELP

Ok...maybe its me but I had a powerbook before this and now I have the Macbook Pro. I'm trying to go to like MSNBC news and play video or audio content that needs either media player or something else. I went to microsoft.com to download media player for MAC OSX and it downloaded a file with an extension of *.sitx and when I clicked on it, my macbook didn't know what to do. Just to clarify--I still have a Mac right so I can't download media player for windows based computer??? anyone have suggestions on what to do?

The suffix means it's a Stuffit file (Stuffit is file compression). Stuffit Expander is a free application that can unstuff it. You can get it here: http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/index.html
I did what you did and found that the MSNBC video player did not consistently recognize that I was meeting all the requirements. I was using Firefox at the time and continued to get the dialog about download this and that. I switched to Safari, got that dialog once, but then it started working. I haven't tried it again in Firefox. Note that the player says it is Beta software.

  • Cannot view or play audio or video coded for windows media player, and do not see javascript

    I designed a website that uses a little bit of JavaScript. It displays fine in IE (9), but not in Firefox. Does anyone know why, and what the fix is?
    Also, and more importantly, I coded audio and video files with Windows media player's class id. They will not show or (obviously) play in Firefox. I downloaded and installed the plug in for Firefox, but no change. I'm sure I'm not the only one to have run across this problem, and I'm surprised that Mozilla hasn't built a fix in the 4.0 version. So, any ideas out there?
    Thanks!

    Firefox won't play the media file if there is a classid specified in the object tag. You either need to use conditional code to hide an object without classid for Firefoz from IE or use an embed for Firefox.
    <pre><nowiki><object id="(ID)" type="application/x-oleobject" classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">
    <param name="(NAME)" value="(VALUE)> // enter parameters for IE here

  • N95, Vista drivers and media player mode

    HI, Sorry to double post but I'm new to this forum and not sure where this should go. I got a new N95, I installed the older version of PC suite that came on the disc with the phone. I then updated to the latest version. .83 . It works fine with PC suite I can sync things transfer files etc, however I cant use it in data transfer or media player mode (it keeps searching for drivers it cant find). These are the only modes I am interested in. This is on a fairly new laptop with Vista ultimate installed. However I tried it on another computer in my house with Vista Home Premium installed, however this time I didn't install any extra software and it detected the phone in both data transfer and media player mode without any problems.
    So I'm guessing that it installed something to mess it up when I installed the original version of PC Suite. PC Suite cleaner says it isn't vista compatible but I ran it in XP compatibility mode and it appeared to do something, but I have un-installed all versions of PC Suite and it still has the same problem, I cant use system restore as it kept setting restore points whenever it installed a part of PC suite and I ran out of system restore points. So please tell me how can I get it back to normal. It looks like I'm not the only one here with a similar problem, someone must know something, Id be really grateful for any suggestions.
    Thanks in advance.

    yes, I do have same problem but I'm using N80 and winxp home, media player version 11, can anyone help us thankx
    I can help I think. I just spent all afternoon yesterday with this problem and my conclusion is that in spite of what Nokia says somewhere in the installation documentation about the Media Player driver for WMP 10 working with WMP 10 "or above", it does not work with WMP 11, and if you want this functionality you will have to roll back to WMP 10 from WMP 11.
    I think this may not be an option for Vista users, but for WinXP SP2 and an N80ie such as I have, here is what happened to me.
    I had WMP 11 and I downloaded the driver for WMP 10 from here.
    http://europe.nokia.com/A4237039
    I then connected the N80ie to the PC using the C series cable that came with the phone, and when the Found New Hardware Wizard started I browsed to the location of the driver file and it announced that it had installed it, and I had to reboot. Whenever I would reboot, or even without rebooting, the Found New Hardware Wizard kept opening again, and again, and again and would seemingly have never stopped opening.
    Now in retrospect I see that I wasn't installing it according to the directions, which say to right click on the WMP 10 driver file and choose "Install", but I don't think that would work any better if I had.
    In the end, I rolled back to the Version of WMP that was on the machine when I installed WinXP (which was WMP 9) and then upgraded it to WMP 10.
    Then following the directions for installation this time, I right clicked on the WMP 10 driver file, installed it, and it works fine.
    If you open WMP 10 and choose Sync, and if the N80ie is connected via cable and Media Player mode, you will be able to choose it at the top of the right hand pane of the Sync display in WMP 10 and see the files on yor N80 plus (if the directions are correct and I understand them correctly... I haven't tried it) copy files in one direction from WMP 10 to your N80.
    One thing I did differently than the rollback instructions call for... if you check here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/readme.aspx
    Step 15 under "Rolling back to a previous version of the Player" says "Click Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.0.0" and then click "Remove".
    I found that I had "Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.5" installed instead of 1.0.0 and when I clicked "Remove" I got dialog box that said if I removed it a whole list of programs might not work anymore, including but not only Nokia PC Suite, and Nokia Software Updater. So I elected NOT to remove "Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.5", and everything seems to work OK in spite of my not doing that.
    Hope this helps.
    I think that Nokia needs to come out with an updated driver for WMP 11 or Vista users are out of luck if they can't roll back to WMP 10, and us XP users will have to stay on WMP 10 until that happens if we want this feature to work on our N80's.

    Dave

    Ever since the new update in iMovie all my audio seems to be there ,but when I get in the middle of the video the audio is off. Help?

    I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos.  It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again.  Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device).  Under Settings, click on Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box at the top for Sync Music.  That turns ON automatic syncing for music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below.  Then click Apply.

  • Itunes sound and Media player sound

    Perhaps this topic has been posted dozens of times but still I got a question.
    I believe that media player has a very neat and nice sound while iTunes are more loud and not so deep. even if I make equilizer default. So the question.
    Is it possible to male itunes sound to be so nice as Media Player?

    I am not sure if there is an answer to your problem, but in the past I felt that both WMP and RealPlayer had slightly better sound than iTunes.
    I did find that updating my audio drivers noticably improved the iTunes sound, so that is all I can suggest.

  • BlackBerry file browser and media player

    I hope this is the right place to bring these suggestions up:
    I miss having the ability to stream via the default media player. Is there any way of adding that in an update?
    Also, and on a similar note, would it be possible to add FTP abilities to the OS10 file manager - thus allowing access to Google Drive, etc. I know there are third party apps out there that can do this but the BlackBerry app does everything I need it to do minus accessing files on my Drive. It seems that in the days of cloud storage, it would have already been a feature.
    Thank you.

    It should, unless you've got event sounds turned off. (just try leaving them turned on while connected to external speakers with the volume way up and have a call or notification come in; shocking!)

  • Treo 680 and Media Player v. 11incompatible

    I have a Treo 680, purchased in Dec 2006 and my PC runs Windows XP. I have Windows Media version 11.
    I followed the instructions to rip music from my PC to my Treo but when I get to the point where it says to select my device, it's not listed. Then my Treo said it wasn't compatible with version 11 so I tried to download version 10 and my PC said it was't cpmpatible with that version.
    I just now updated pocket tunes but that doesn't seem to have helped.
    What do I do now?

    I recently purchased a Palm Centro. I wanted to download music from my pc onto my device so I followed the instructions regarding ptunes and windows media player. I synched a bunch of songs. My device ran out of memory according to windows media player but some songs did transfer. I disconnected my Palm and went to Pockettunes and No Songs were there! I tried to synch just one song but it said I had no room. Where are the songs?
    Thank you. Sharon
