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 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 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

Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time?

Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time? My professors at school have keynote presentations and i take notes during class with the presenter notes feature. I was wondering if there was any way i can view both of them on the same screen on my iPad while studying? This way I could see their slides along with the notes i take during class.

None that I know of. Suggest to Apple.

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

AimeeLove,
I have a solution for you. You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock. I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
12 = 0
1 = 250
2 = 500
3 = 750
4 = 1000
5 = 1250
6 = 1500
7 = 1750
8 = 2000
9 = 2250
10 = 2500
11 = 2750
In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
myVar = setInterval(function(){
     var pos = sym.getPosition();
     if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
          sym.stop(0);
          clearInterval(myVar);
},10);
When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline. When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0. Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
In the mouseout section, put this...
sym.play();
clearInterval(myVar);
It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
Repeat this for each point on the clock. To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar. I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range. 50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it. So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Fred

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.

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.

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 what is running on the Q10?

I know about closing apps open in the HUB, but is there a way to see what processes or programs are running on a Q10? I am watching one of our phones drain slowly just from sitting. Only thing running is our phone network. Maybe its syncing too often with our server? I am not sure how to see that to check. Other than that, the phone is passive. Any suggestions?

Are you a developer?
On BB10 v10.2 a list of running apps can be seen under the settings,
If you can run Momentics then it is possible to use the diagnostic capabilities to watch what processes are running.
If not then there are some apps on the market which can monitor battery drain for you.
If you've been helped click on , if you've been saved buy the app.
