  • Is there a way to view Windows Media Files on the Intel based Mac's?

    I tried downloding WMP for Mac and also Flip4Mac but I could not install either because it said the programs don't support Intel based Mac's. I thought they would automatically run under Rosetta. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Think I ran into the same issue. I suspect MS will
    have to upgrade MP to Universal Binary before it
    works correctly. I'm not holding my breath....
    That's good because Microsoft has discontinued all support for WMP on OS X. They recommend you download Flip4Mac instead.

  • Is there a way to view Windows Media Files on the Intel-based MacBook?

    I've tried downloading WMV9 for Mac, but for some reason it refuses to play most files. I also tried downloading the Flip4Mac thingy but it won't work on an Intel-based machine. Any other ideas?

    You can use Flip4Mac under Intel although you will need to run both QuicktimePlayer and Safari under Rosetta. To do this…
    1) Change the installer to run using Rosetta
    2) Change Quicktime Player to run using Rosetta
    3) Change Safari to run using Rosetta
    4) Install Flip4Mac plugins
    5) Try it out

  • Is There a way to play Windows Media files on the IMac?

    Windows Media Player 9 does not work for intel model, neither do the Quicktime components. Any other alternatives?

    I have had good luck converting the WMA files to mp3s, which my iTunes see and play with no problem.
    Here is how.
    1. Open WMP9 and select copy from CD
    2. from the TOOLS menu at the top select OPTIONS
    3. From OPTIONS select the COPY MUSIC tab.
    4. In the COPY MUSIC page half way down under "copy settings" you will
    see a radio window with a drop down menu. The window is labeled
    FORMAT.
    5. Change the window (typically it is in "Windows Media Audio" to
    "MPEG Layer-3." There is a good instructional tip link right next to
    the drop-down window labeled "Learn more about MP3 formats."
    6. Remember to hit APPLY on the tab at the bottom of the page,
    then close out.
    Now when you copy music into your PC it will be in a medium that both the mac and the PC can use.
    Some notes: If you plan to copy music from your computer to use in your car stereo do so on a CD-R, otherwise there is a good chance the car stereo wont see it.
    You can copy all of your iTunes on a DVD+R, but only your Mac will be able to play them. It is a good way to archive them, but nothing else will play them. WMP9 won't even see them.
    If you don't have the original CDs and are trying to transfer music that is in WMA format you will have to copy it to a CD first, typically a CD that is a Playlist. Then reinstall it as an MP3. When you pull up your menu in WMP9 you will then see the same song repeated twice, but one will have a much smaller file space (the MP3). and will be labled as an MP3. I would suggest keeping both versions if you have the hard drive space, since many ultraportable devices anymore require on or the other.
    As for the WMP9 not working on the iMac, are you sure you activated it? Mine works fine now that I have 2 gigs of RAM. My iMac came with 512, and would routinely freeze up and crash on just about anything. Once I put 2 gigs in it, it became a whole new machine. It works about as well as any PC I have ever seen, and even better than some.
    I would strongly suggest that if the WMP on your iMac is not accepting WMA files from your PC that you call their tech help. Those folks are great!
    Hope this helps,
    Doug

  • I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
    All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
    Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
    If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
    On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
    Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

  • How do I view blackberry media files on my iphone

    How do I view Blackberry Media files on my iPhone?

    If your media is in iTunes restore the iPod, but the iPod is/was the only location currently hosting some of your media then the first task is to try to extract it. See the user tip Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for some recovery tools. Most third party tools will probably require the device to have a functioning library however the techniques outlined in the iLounge Article referenced at the end should work as long as the device still shows up in Windows Explorer or Finder.

  • I lost flip4mac when I installed mavericks. What is the best way to view windows media?

    I can't view windows media since I installed mavericks. I found out that flip4mac didn't install with mavericks. Is there an apple app to replace flip4mac or should I just get another flip4mac. The icon is still there but none of the software seems to be present.

    Try VLC media player it seems to play almost any codec.

  • Is there a way to import a flash file to an iphone so I could continue to listen to my course and view the power point presentation at the same time? i.e.file source from a DVD?

    Got an iphone 4s and would like to know if there's a way to import files from a DVD source to my phone. I am able to transfer the audio files through iTunes. Is there a way to transfer the flash file that contains the animated slides. Is there an app that I could buy so I could view this on my iphone? Thanks! 

    No. You would have to convert it to a video format that your phone can handle, then sync it over and view the video. I'm sure there are ways to do this, but I don't have direct experience with them as I have no use for flash content.

  • Easiest way to access windows media files with DRM?

    hi,
    i've got a whole bunch of music and vid files from an old PC that I can't access on my MBP because they use windows media DRM that is not available for OSX. they won't play with flip 4 mac either.
    my question is: what's the easiest and least invasive way to get access to these files on the MBP? I realise I could use bootcamp and install XP, or do the same with parallels.. but, I don't want to sacrifice the huge amount of drive space needed to get XP working (nor do I really want to have to buy a copy of XP) with either bootcamp or parallels, because I'd really never ever use windows.. only ever to access these files.
    I've heard there is another virtualisation option out there that doesn't even require a full copy of windows, but I don't know what it is or if this was just mistaken hearsay. if anyone has any ideas about if something like this exists, I'd like to hear about it..
    cheers...

    You might be thinking of Crossover. Not sure if Windows Media Player works under it, but their website has info on requested and working apps.
    Best of luck.

  • Is there a way to view deleted music files my iPod once had before?

    I thought that since I cant retrieve my 1120+ music files my iPod once had, maybe I can at least see all the music files that were once in it so I can make sure I get every song I had in it back in there. Is this possible? Thanks!

    Theres no possible list or record or history of songs that were in my iPod that I can view. Is there a possibility that I can view the corrupted files in "other"?

  • AVCHD Viewer?  Is there a way to view "raw" AVCHD files?

    I have Sony HDR-SR5 camcorder that records in AVCHD format. I import most of my AVCHD files into iMovie 08, but I also archive the "raw" AVCHD files (so that when I buy a Blu-Ray burner I can make high-def movies). My AVCHD files are stored as disk images that I usually label something like "5-28-08 Video.dmg" After a few years, when I go back to re-import the AVCHD file from the disk image, I'll probably forget what's on that specific image. Is there a viewer I can download to view the raw AVCHD files in the disk image? Part of the reason I import the AVCHD files into iMovie is for organization (I love the "events").
    I store my stuff using this technique:

    Yes, but your camcorder is dedicated to doing one thing and one thing only, like a calculator. It was specifically designed for this task... and to read just the AVCHD files it creates. I imagine it won't read any other cameras AVCHD files. Unlike a viewer which must work with a majority of files.
    Consider this: Panasonic has a AVC Intra codec that is only available on cameras running over $50,000 because the hardware is so specific and difficult to cool. Sure, in a few years this will trickle down into sub $20,000 units (I hope!), but the point is there is a LOT of engineering of both the software and the hardware to make it happen.
    Or to look at it another way, about 4-years and one computer ago, we had an associate taking RAW image files and using Adobe Bridge to view them. On the internal hard drive caching a folder of 1,000 RAW files would take over one-hour. Now simply moving them to an eternal drive took caching down to about 20-minutes... but now you want to do this with HIGHLY compressed video files in the newest of codecs... there is a LOT of math going on here.

    Is there a way to view psd thumbnails in Windows 8 without downloading third-party software?

    No there is no way to do this in Windows 8. If you do not want to pay for a codec, here is a cost free alternative.

  • Is there a way to play flv & mkv file formats through media element in windows 8.1 app ?

    i am trying to develop a video player so i just thought Is there a way to play flv & mkv file formats through media element in windows 8.1 app ? , coz when i tried media element it is supporting only mp4 & avi formats.

    Here is a list of Media Foundation codecs
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd757927(v=vs.85).aspx
    For the rest of the formats you have you write your own MFT-based codec and ship the codec with your app. See also
    implementing a Codec MFT (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd757274(v=vs.85).aspx)
    Media extensions sample (https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Media-extensions-sample-7b466096)
    MKV and FLV are just container formats, though, you need to survey some video files to see what video codecs are actually in streams and support them one by one. Supporting some proprietary video formats may involve licensing costs from patent holders.
