Just downloaded the 3 updates today... and now i can't view streaming files

updated... now anytime i want to view a video on youtube or google, or anywahere else i get the little quicktime symbol with the "?"...
i made sure quicktime was set for streaming files on the web... i made sure i had macromedia flash player... i then downloaded it and re-downloaded it AGAIN... still the little quicktime symbol with the "?"
i know the answer is sitting right in front of me, and i feel like an idiot... can someone please help me?

Adjusting my MIME settings in QuickTime did nothing to solve my problem with streaming Flash video in Safari, but here's what did...
1.) I went to Users/HomeFolder/Library and moved the Preference folder to my Desktop.
2.) Next, I launched Safari and confirmed that the problem went away in the absence of my bloated Preference folder (a new Preference folder was created on the fly).
3.) After removing the contents of the new Preference folder, I started moving my old preferences into the new Preference folder alphabetically in groups. After each new group was added, I launched Safari to see if the problem returned. As I added back prefs, I replaced any newer prefs [newly created because I tested Safari] with my older prefs. The problem returned when I got to the C's. I pulled the C's back out of the new Preferences folder. Again, the problem went away.
4.) After putting all the C's, ten at a time, back into the new Preferences folder, the problem failed to return. However, when I put the remaining old prefs in the new Prefereces folder, the problem returned. Upon taking every thing after C back out, the problem went away again.
5.) Finally, after putting all the old prefs after C into the new Preferences folder (this time in groups of ten to twenty), the problem failed to return.
I realize this is not a complete answer as it never identified the culprit or culprits specifically. Perhaps its a matter of order. All I know is my problem is solved and I did not have to trash ALL my prefereces to do it.
Good Luck

I just downloaded the new OS X and now I can't enlarge the page (pictures, text) by tapping the mouse. I loved that feature. How do I get it back ?

Thank you very much. I just called Apple support and the woman told me I was out of luck because with the new OS X it (that feature) was gone.
I'm not sure she knows too much.
Maybe I can get a job there. I don't know as much as she didn't know !

I Just downloaded Acrobat Pro after trial and now I can't open any files...

I Just downloaded Acrobat Pro after trial and now I can't open any files, when I click on icon I get this message: the last time you opened Acrobat, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its window again? If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the window yourself. There are 2 options: Don't Reopen or Reopen Either choice leads to a window that pops upend says please wait while we launch Acrobat and then window just closes quickly.

Hi mbt6833,
You may goto control panel and then go to program and features.
Select the Acrobat pro and chose the option change from the top. Fallow the onscreen instruction a windows will pop up where you need to choose repair.

Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

I downloaded the latest update yesterday and now itune is gone from my pc because it didn't download correctly

I downloaded the latest update yesterday and now itunes is gone from my toshiba laptop. I get a message msvcr80.dll. Any suggestions why

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Follow these steps to resolve the issue:

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.

Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.

I just downloaded the newest IOS software and now my iPhone5 won't pair with the Bluetooth in my car (the car system says it's paired when I try to re-pair it but then when n try to make a call it tells me it doesn't recognize the phone.

I just downloaded the IOS upgrade, 7.0.2, and now my iPhone 5 won't pair with my Bluetooth in my car, despite repeated attempts to re-pair the two and despite the fact it's been paired fine previously. The car system tells me it's paired but then when I try to make a call I get another message that says there is no paired phone.

You can't override it no matter what you do. The device has to connect to the server to complete the iOS update. You could try rebooting the iPad and see if that lets you connect to the server after it starts up.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that will not work, you can try connecting to iTunes on your computer and see if the activation will complete. Sometimes when thes activation issues arise, you end up having to restore the device again, but first things first. Reboot and see what happens.

Hey Davidl678,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to download the purchases from your purchase history, because iTunes believes the songs to be in your library. It may be necessary to delete the items from your library, then re-download from your purchase history. Before doing so, you may want to take note of which song are available for re-download:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

Thanks,

I just downloaded the latest OS upgrade and since I can not connect to the internet using my cellular data plan.

I just downloaded the latest iOS.7 upgrade on my ipad2, and since I can not connect to the internet using my cellular data plan. I have checked my data plan and it's both current and over 2GB remaining. However the indicator shows no service, thus would be the best steps to recover. Thanks much for any support that can be provided.

I just downloaded the adobe 10.3 and now my videos are choppy

okay so when i first downloaded the new adobe the videos wouldnt work at all and after countless restarts and intstalls and uninstalls i gave up. then i found the debuggger and downloaded and now my videos actually played. BUT OH NO the videos are now choppy and like they basically freak out. I have the new safari and a mac os 10.5.8 and i am trying to watch videos on amazon. PLEASE HELp

the debugger will generally run slower than a release build. you will need to uninstall the urrent player and reinstall the release version of 10.3.
instructions can be found here:

I downloaded the New numbers iOS and now i can't open any numbers documents

I just recently downloaded the new Mavricks update and now all my numbers Documents say i need to download the new system before opening. I alread have the new numbers system so i am unsure of what I need to do to fix it. I use numbers all day for my job so not having it is really not an option.

Go to the App Store via the Dock or by starting the program from your Applications folder. Sign in with your Apple ID/Password and type Numbers in the search box on the top right. That should let you navigate to the Numbers download.

I just downloaded the latest update of Firefox. I can no longer retain history of my searches on the Md. Judiciary's case search

When I do wild card searches of the site, I used to see check marks next to links that I had observed. After accepting the latest update, I don't see the check marks any more.

OK, I can get Firefox 8 downloaded but then what do I do? The instructions say to move the Firefox image to the applications folder and then drag the icon from the folder to the dock. I don't know how to do this.

Just downloaded the Mavericks OS X but now I can't use my Aperture 3.2.4. What do I need to do?

Can you help me figure out how to use my Aperture after downloading Mavericks OS X?

You need to update Aperture to at least version 3.4.5 or vesion 3.5.1.
Back up your Aperture library, because updating Aperture will cause your Aperture library to be upgraded to a new format, and it will be safer to have a backup.
Then sign into the AppStore with your AppleID and check, if there is an update for Aperture on the Updates page or if you are seeing Aperture on the "Accept" part of the "Purchased" page. Download the updater, and after it installed, click your Aperture library to let it upgrade.

Just downloaded the 3 updates today... and now i can't view streaming files
