Is there an alternative to realplayer for playing smile files

I am having problems with real player and wondered if there is another application.

Not really. You can downgrade back to Snow Leopard, but only if you have a model that supports Snow Leopard.
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • Is there an alternative to Rosetta for Running old applications?

    Our company has a Canon C3220 Colour Copier and a ColorPass Z3000 RIP with about 30 Macs printing to it. The installer for the Z3000 driver is an old Power PC application that no longer runs in OS 10.7. Is there an alternative to Rosetta for running the installer? Or does anyone know how to manually install the components by copying them over from a Mac running Snow Leopard? I've tried moving over the driver and PPD from the latter and placing them in the same locations in the Library folder on the former, but then get an error when I try to create a printer in System Prefs.
    I know the driver/PPD still works, as they work in Lion on Macs that have been upgraded from Snow Leopard after the driver was installed. I've looked around on the web and asked Canon about an upgraded installer, but they don't support this model anymore, even though it's not that old and was a VERY expensive setup to buy.

  • Is there an alternative to flash for ipad?

    I am so disapointed to find out that ipad does not support flash player...now, I cannot even access some of my favorite sites, it is beyond annoying ! Is there an alternative? Obviously, Apple does not like Flash Player but do they offer an alternative for their users ?? I wish I had known that before, I would not have bothered spending so much money on something that does not even meet my needs !

    Last November Adobe stopped development of Flash for all mobile platforms. Flash seems to be dying.

  • TS1363 Is there any alternative to iTunes for copying music onto an iPod? I am sick to the back teeth of Apple and I am really getting annoyed at having to uninstall and reinstall iTunes every few weeks.

    I have iTunes on 2 PCs, one running Windows 7 pro, the other running Windows 8. I also have 2 iPods which show up in Windows but not iTunes. Every time this happens I have to delete and download iTunes again, losing my library (nearly 10,000 tracks) in the process. I have had enough of Apple and their crap software as this problem has happened to me on previous computers as well and I think iTunes is crap. Is there some alternative I can use instead of iTunes to put music on my iPods?

    If you have an iPod touch you could probably use DropBox.

  • Is there a way to search for damaged/corrupt files in itunes?

    Hi all,
    I have several itunes-purchased files that became damaged when a hard drive of mine went on the fritz a few months ago.  I managed to get most of my files transferred to a new hard drive, but I keep running across songs that are corrupt.  The way I know they are corrupt is they just won't play, even though the file shows up in my library no problem.
    My library is several thousand songs.  Is there any way to test for corrupt songs without going song-by-song manually?

    Sorry, but I don't know what it is you are trying to accomplish and how a spreadsheet program would be related to an iTunes issue. Can you please explain in more detail what it is you're trying to do? If your command of the English language is a barrier for you, try posting in your native language and someone who is fluent in that language may be able to help.
    Regards.

  • Is there a date entry widget for XMP custom file info panels?

    Looking through the Custom File Info Panels documentation, the samples, and the default info panels presented in Photoshop, I can't find any reference to a date entry widget - the closest I've seen is the date_static_text widget.
    Is there any way to present an editable, validating date entry field to our end-users through the File Info panel?
    (the info we're wanting to store is a release date so it's user-specified, and not derivable from the file in any way)

    Mark,
    The PDF/A extension schema provides a big step to the self-sufficient functionality that you are asking about. It permits the XMP schema description information of custom XMP schemas to be embedded into the XMP as payload so that the file can be opened in years to come and the target metadata acurately interperted. Currently, PDF tools are active candidate to make use of this facility. However, there is nothing preventing future use with other file formats, and other tools (via plug-ins?).
    It does not include vocabulary, static text, and panel presentation layout information.
    http://www.pdfa.org/doku.php
    It defines a "known" subset of standard XMP properties from the 2001 XMP Spec. Everything else is "custom".
    You could craft a custom File Info "template" with the PDF/A extension for your custom XMP fields. Then import the template into each file.
    The PDF/A extension schema itself is implemented with multi-dimensional XMP arrays. MetaGrove Plug-in dialog screen shots can be viewed on http://www.poundhillsoftware.net/Acrobat.htm

  • Is there any alternatives to Configurator for creating custom Photoshop panels?

    I've been using Configurator for quite some time now in order to improve my workflow; having custom panels is huge to me.
    So I was surprised that Adobe decided to stop supporting flash panels, starting with version CC 2014. I want to update Photoshop to CC 2014 but am unable to do so due to my custom panels (which DOES NOT work in said version!!): I would be handicapping myself by upgrading the software.
    I've looked around for alternatives, but so far I haven't found any decent replacement to Configurator for creating HTML5-based panels. I know about PsTools but it appears to be limited to Tools only, and I need to both create a custom toolbar as well as custom panels for my most used filters and selection -actions. Also I know there's an API for creating HTML5 panels now, but I'm a 3D Artist - not a C++ programmer.
    So what exactly are the alternative here?

  • Is there any alternative vst plugins for adobe audition similar to Vocalign or how to install vocalign?

    I'm pretty sure it works for it but i can't get it to load when i install it in a folder and update my plugins through adobe audition. Anyone know how? or anyone know an alternative to that plugin, a plugin that aligns two takes of a the same vocal to make the timing correct?
    I know some exist but i can never get one to work perfect with adobe audition.

    There's a perfectly good solution built into Audition CS6 and CC - you don't need a plugin at all.
    In Multitrack, go to Clip, and you'll find a menu item called Automatic Speech Aligner. It's meant to work with speech only (as they all are) but in fact it works pretty well with sung vocals. I'd give that a go first before looking for any other solution.

  • Is there an alternative html script for embedded forms?

    I recently read the guidelines on embeding forms on a site:
    http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1991
    Previously we were using iFrame but the trouble-shooting guide suggested to use the code generated from the distribute tab. However, I noticed it used the scipt html tag which is prohibited on the site I'm using to display the form. What other alternatives are there to overcome this issue to enable to have the form correctly displaying on the site?

    Sorry this change has caused you issues. We’ve had a lot of people embedding forms improperly. When it’s done without the embed code the form often doesn’t work properly (its cropped on the side/bottom, submit doesn’t work, etc). Because of that, we now catch the improperly embedded form and tell people the right way to embed it. 
    I’m talking with my engineering team to see if there is anything we can do.

  • Is there an alternative to flash for videos?

    Is there a program available to substitute for flash in running videos?

    Eventually, HTML v5 will substitute Flash, the world will be a better place and Steve Jobs will further rest in peace.
    In the meantime, no. No substitute.

  • Is there an alternative to flash for animation?

    I have a flash sequence on a clients website but it is not friendly with the menu as it overlaps. It is also unfriendly on ipods, ipads and the like.
    We need to retain the animation sequence and wonder if it could be converted into another format which would be friendly across other formats and to my menu
    Thank you in advance for feedback
    Terry

    Depending on what the animation consists of and your target audience, Edge Animate might very work well.  However, Edge animations output to HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.  Older browsers like IE8 and earlier won't see it.   If that's your target audience, drop your images into a jQuery image Slider.
    jQuery WOW Slider

    jQuery Nivo Slider

    Or use an animated GIF.

    Other options include Puffin and iSwifter. One of those might also work for you, though all such apps, including Skyfire, have limitations

  • I'm a Mac user. Is there any way to make FireFox play .wmv files within the browser, like Safari does?

    Nothing else left to say.

    I just have a hard time comprehending why they don't handle file structure sorting.
    It's not a difficult thing to understand. It is, in fact, a computing science +industry standard+, deviations from it are the +unusual and esoteric+, not something I'd expect from one of the industry's giants - certainly not a mandatory deviation.
    It seems like it's a decision that only serves to frustrate people. I can understand why they would want a metadata sorting mode; I can even see making that the default setting... I'm just kind of flabberghasted at the uninclusion of an alternative file sorting method for those of us who trust our own devices better than metadata that may be incorrect, missing, typographically flawed, or what-have-you. I can get to my own music just fine... On my PC. Why not my iPod? Why does the industry-leading mp3 player have to make it a frustrating and difficult chore to find the media I want to play?
