Listening to WMV Files? Cannot do Anymore w/OSX Lion?

Not sure what has happended, but I no longer can listen/view WMV files since OSX Lion has been installed.
Have the most recent version of Flip4Mac and also downloaded and tried VLC
Any help would REALLY be appreciated!

QT thx again for the quick reply.
I am still baffled why I could listen/view all the .wmv streams (w/Fip4Mac) from our college radio station before, now with OSX Lion I cannot.
I did try VLC and was able to hear the 1st stream :-)

and I did get a test signal from the 2nd URL:
http://streamwm.Quinnipiac.Edu/wqunaudio
I will post later tonight when the two games begin if I can hear them.
Do you have any clue why Flip4Mac no longer works for OSX Lion users? And how do fix it?
My concern is more for the gorwing number of Mac listeners who no longer can listen.
Thx Much!

I can't find the site domain file in iWeb 3 and OSX Lion

I've got iWeb 3.0.4 and am using OS10.7.3
In previous versions of the OS and iWeb the actual file that iWeb creates is stored inside ~User>Library>Application Support>domain.site
I can't for the life of me find either the Application Support folder inside my user folder OR the actual domain file. Is it invisible or something???
Help - I need to transfer this document to another computer urgently ;-)

I have recently installed the new OSX Lion on my 2009 MacBook. Now I cannot get access to my Windows-Partition, which is on the harddisk. I cannot choose to boot from LION OSX or Windows. Who can help?

I have recently upgraded my MacBook to OSX Lion. Now I cannot get access to my windows-partition. I cannot choose booting from OSX Lion or Windows. Who can help???

I believe that Lion and Mountian Lion use BootCamp 4.0 and earlier versions used 3.0. I don't use BootCamp but from reading The link below you need to get new drivers, burn a cd and install. Check out #20 on this page.

Recently purchased song and another I transfered into my ITunes library vannot be set up in a playlist.I get the message"file cannot be located".Originally I could listen to the purchased song but now that will no longer play.What do I need to do to ?

Recently purchased a song from ITunes and another that I downloaded from a CD will not transfer to a playlist and will not even allow me to listen to the songs.I get the message "file cannot be located"What can I do to get my system to locate the file?Originally I could play the songs from my desktop and I was able to transfer to my IPad.

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

Cannot view WMV files on iMAC

I installed Perian 1.2.3 as an add on to my Quicktime player to view WMV files, however after installing Perian I still cannot view them. Am I missing some steps. It comes up on my desk top (Perian 1.2.3) and after I open e-mails with video attatchents such as WMV, I still cannot view them. Please advise, if you can, thanks!

Pretty simple, download and install Flip4Mac. WMV is a MS Windows format so you need a method to convert the WMV files. You can find Flip4Mac at:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/17787/flip4mac-wmv-player

Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

wmv is a Windows Media format. I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
You need
Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences. Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
or play the files with VLC
VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
While you're at it you might install:
Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).

Can i change a .wmv file to .mp3 so that i can listen to it on itunes?

i have a lecture for class that is a .wmv file. when i play the file, i get the audio but no video. i've tried using flip4mac but not luck.
so now i have a new question as a possible solution to this problem - is there a way to just take the audio from the file so that i can listen to it on itunes/ipod?

And the error message stated...........
Suggest that you cross-post in the following forums:

Install Flip4Mac which allows you to play wmv files.

Cannot play wmv file

I have a wmv file from a friend, but I cannot play it. I have installed the flip-for-mac plug in for Quick Time, I have tried the Prism converter. I even tried the wimpy version of RealPlayer for mac. Nothing will open the file. I can get the audio out of it but no video. Does anyone have an idea what is going on or what to do. Thanks.

If your getting sound but no video, it sounds like a codec issue to me.
Never put one on my mac, but one for windows is xvid, which deals with alot of various video codecs.
I believe there is a mac version of the codec.
google for xvid codec for mac, and should be easy enough to find.

Cannot play wmv files on BB 8520

When I try and play wmv files on my blackberry curve 8520 it plays the sound but not the video clip. I have removed the battery and replaced it but still does not work. It says that wmv is supported. Anyone got any ideas. Thanks in advance

Hi marcrees and welcome to the forums!
How are you transferring the media files between the PC and the Blackberry?
Are you using Media Manager, MediaSync, or my personal favorite "drag and drop" via MyComputer.
Do you have a media card or are you using device memory?
Also please tell us what version of device OS your are currently running on your 8520.
Click options>scroll to About> it's listed in format: v.X.X.XXX.
You can also open a new message in the message queue and in the body of the message
type myver and press enter. You will get the model number and the device OS level.
Thanks,

PC People cannot see my Quicktime converted WMV file

I'm running QT Pro and Flip4mac studio. I've converted a QT file to a WMV file. When I post via iweb, my client using their explorer browser gets this: install activex control 'quicktime' from apple computers.
My clients are not going to download software. Although we all know QT is better. I thought WMV files play on PCs. That's why I went to the trouble of converting the file...
Any ideas on how I can solve this?
Cheers

Post a URL so we can see the page code.
I thought iWeb only wrote page code that called the QuickTime plug-in.

Even with Apple Quick Time 7.7 I cannot open, much less play, any wmv files. It gives me only the code behind the file, never the video. What's going on?

I never have been able to open wmv files/attachments with the Apple Quick Time player I've got on this MacBook Pro. A click on any wmv file leads me only to Text/Edit and all the code behind the file. What is going on? I have Quick Time 7.7 (1680.25).

Those are Windows Media files, and they're not supported natively in any version of QuickTime. You can view them in some third-party applications, such as VideoLAN Client, or you can install the Flip4Mac QuickTime component which makes them playable in QT Player.

Cannot import WMV file (wmv2 standard codec)

All the help files say that Windows Media WMV files can be imported into Premiere Pro CS5, but I have a very standard WMV file using WMV2/WMA2 internal codecs and it will not import into Premiere Pro CS5. I spent a lot of money on my Adobe products and an expensive program like this should be able to do what it says it can do. I'm on a Mac but nowhere in the help files does it say that WMV is only supported on a Windows PC. Also if you respond saying that WMV is a "delivery format" that will not be helpful- Adobe claims to support it for import, regardless.
How can I fix my issue with Windows Media WMV important in my FULL, NON-trial, fully paid, full legal, expensive version of Premiere Pro CS5. Please feel free to email me via [email protected] because I have no idea how I'll find this post after I post it.

It was not meant to be anything but useful for future purchases.
One should research software, to make sure that it fits their needs, rather than purchase it, and complain that it does not work, as one would have hoped it to.
On the other side of the street, there are Mac-only CODEC's, that will not install on the PC. That is something that PC users have been fighting for a fairly long time. It is not Adobe's fault, but a dissimilarity between the platforms. Though they do seem to be getting closer together, there are still some differences between them. When an editor hits those differences, the trick is to find a way around them. Sometimes, for the PC user, it means having a Mac-user Export in a different format. The same holds for the Mac-user. There are many shops that have both platforms, so these types of problems are solved internally.
Adobe was aware of these potential problems, and made note of them. This is where it is highly incumbent on the purchaser to inform themselves, and become aware of platform differences. Adobe makes note of the formats/CODEC's that are "Mac only," as well.
Todd's suggestion to file a Feature Request is a good one, however, I think the "solution" will be for MS and Apple to get together and work out a way for each platforms' CODEC's to install and be useful on the other. I do not anticipate that Adobe can rewrite all the MS CODEC's for the Mac, and vice versa, but perhaps I am incorrect, and they are doing just that.
Good luck,
Hunt
