"invalid URL" download prob on powerbook but not imac...

I have been down loading some movies on my imac with no problem. They are WMVs but I have the latest flip for mac (2.2) installed, running in the latest version of Leopard. In Safari, I open the download link in a new tab and the movie opens within the safari window as a video pane - I can watch it as its downloading or wait until its done and save it to my HD. When I go to do this exact same thing on my powerbook (also running the latest FFM, Safari and Leopard) I open the download in the new tab, QT opens (instead of the video in safari window) and a new QT window opens the a message "Invalid URL" pops up so I click OK and the QT window closes. As far as I can tell all the QT and FFM settings are exactly the same.
My imac is at home on my personal network and I just tried with the powerbook on the cloud public wifi network (not at home now). I didn't think this should make a difference as all other apps are using the network fine.
Any help would be great.
Cheers

Joey
the setting which causes the new QT window to open is found in System Preferences-Flip4Mac-Browser tab - Launch Quicktime Player.
I don't know why you'd get the invalid url message, but see if changing the setting to open within the browser sorts it out.

  • Blocking downloads to hard drive, but not flash drives

    Blocking downloads to hard drive, but not flash drives
    A nonprofit has asked me to configure new Windows 7 computers so that all content is BLOCKED from the hard drive, but any downloads may be downloaded to the individual's flash drive.
    The nonprofit allows individuals to play games, check e-mails, but we have a problem with them trying to upgrade Firefox, Google, etc.
    They want all configuration to the DEFAULT STATUS after a person log off the computer....no upgrades to any programs!
    I will occasionally upgrade programs once a month or so, as the volunteer administrator.
    They have changed the controls from Windows ME and XP, when I was a computer programmer and installer (I also worked during Windows 3.11, 95 and 98/98 SE versions as well)...
    Anyone help me, please?

    1. You can change security with cacls function. However if you do it in wrong way, you can cut the branch you are sitting on:

    2. If you are working in Active Directory, consider Group Policy
    3. Consider third pty software for granular access control (DeviceLock,...)
    4. There is nearly nothing that you can transfer from previous technologies. (Even nice
    steady state in Windows XP has no continuation. Consider
    kiosk mode in Windows 8.1)

  • HT4059 Books are downloading to IPad 2 but not fully loading on iPhone 4S.

    Books are downloading to IPad 2 but not fully loading on iPhone 4S.  Shows book cover but the download line never filled out and book remains shaded and unable to open, delete, or move.  Tried un/reinstall of iBooks, reboot phone, turning on/off, syncing.  Suggestions?

    I contacted Apple support.  He had me unsync all books from my phone through itunes and then resync all books back to phone.  It work and all iBooks are now completely loaded. 

  • I bought an audiobook and it downloaded to my ipad but not my Gen4 itouch, it doesn't show an audiobook section under purchases, how do I do this?

    I am really upset.
    I really love my itouch but anything beyond using it as a daytimer, camera and note keeper is shear torture.
    I post a question, I have to repost it multiple times.
    I search for a solution to a problem, such as, "How do I download an audiobook" - I get a web page of all the things that itouch can do, but no instructions on how to do them.
    So here's my latest problem.
    Yes I am repeating myself again!
    I bought an audiobook and it downloaded to my iPad, but, not my gen4 itouch, it doesn't show an audiobook section under purchases in iTunes, how do I do this?
    Does anyone out there know of a web site that just gives answers to apple questions? ( I don't need to know what it could do, I need to know how to do it!)
    Thank you for your help!
    Ken

    Have you checked to see whether it's in the Music app (iTunes on the iPad it just the store, it doesn't contain your downloaded and synced content) ? When you have audiobooks on an iPad you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.
    Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store (so they won't appear in the Purchased tab for re-downloading), so you may want to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it - it should copy over to the Books part of your iTunes library.

    I have an iPhone 3G with ioS 3.1.3. How do I upgrade to 3.2 to download a particular app but not to 4.2 which doesn't work well with this particular phone?

    but not to 4.2 which doesn't work well with this particular phone?
    What are you talking about? 4.2.1, the latest version for the iPhone 3G, works fine - great, even - with it.

  • Purchased & downloaded PS Elements 13 but not installed yet as concerned if my hardware is adequate?

    Purchased & downloaded PS Elements 13 but not installed yet as concerned if my hardware is adequate? Acer Aspire One AMD C-60 APU with Radeon HD graphics 1.0 Ghz/4GB RAM/500GB T45H3P135, Windows 7, 64-bit (BTW the WIN 64-bit used the Akamai down loader with a -32 in the suffix-could that cause any problem?)  I would like to confirm if my machine is compatible (will it run but slowly?) before attempting final install? or what if I install & find it's not compatible? Thanks for helping this novice!

  • I deleted my events in iPhoto Help?  The "events" are not in the trash.  I did download stellar phoenix recovery but not sure what to do

    i deleted my events in iPhoto Help?  The "events" are not in the trash.  I did download stellar phoenix recovery but not sure what to do

    i deleted my events in iPhoto Help?
    You deleted them in iPhoto on your Mac?
    If you do not have a backup of your iPhoto library, run the recovery program you downloaded, then reimport the folder with recovered photos into iPhoto.
    You will probably have to weed out plenty of seemingly duplicates (thumbnails, previews, and original files), since the program will not be able to reconstruct your events, only find image files.

  • How do I download a home DVD video disk (-R) to iMovie where I can then edit?  I can download from a camera, but not from the disk.

    How do I download a home DVD video disk (-R) to iMovie where I can then edit?  I can download from a camera, but not from the disk.

    iPhoto pulls off new videos from my iPhone 5 just fine.  Does iPhoto automatically come up when you connect your iPhone?  If it does, you should see your iPhone under "Devices" in iPhoto and then can select the videos to transfer (select, then Import Selected), though that should happen automatically.

  • There were some updates on my Apps.  I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud.  Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

    There were some updates on my Apps.  I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud.  Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

    Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
