MAc won't save youtube video anymore. What am I doing wrong?

I was trying to save a video from youtube as I did a 1000 times before. Now when I try, every program/site I use (KeepVid for instance), will turn the .mp4 video file in a .txt file. Basically the file name will be something like video.mp4.txt
I tried to change the file ext but it doesn't work... What did I do wrong? Any idea?
Thanks

Not knowing what "as I did a 1000 times before" means, I cannot comment as to what you may be "doing wrong." However, when I went to the KeepVid site I managed to download two files "as I normally do" and both (one YouTube FLV and one KeepVid MP4) downloaded using Safari as playable movie files under Snow Leopard.

  • I have always been able to sync my IE bookmarks from my desktop to Safari on my iPhone.  Suddenly they are gone from my phone and they won't sync any longer.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have always been able to sync my IE bookmarks from my desktop to Safari on my iPhone.  Suddenly they are gone from my phone and they won't sync any longer.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
    The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
    The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
    Just about time to dump apple I think!

  • I have Firefox 5.0 installed on my desktop and everytime i try to download or save a file the Firefox Download Manager won't open. Why? What am i doing wrong?

  • I just converted my first pdf to Word (working on a Mac).  Result is total gibberish.  What am I doing wrong?

    I just tried for the first time to convert a pdf to Word.  Result was total gibberish, a bunch of meaningless symbols.  What am I doing wrong?

    You've done nothing wrong. The issue is how the internals (not what you "see") were painted to the PDF page (yes, PDF page content is "painted").
    Export of PDF page content is very much a GIGO process.
    Goodstuff In = Goodstuff Out
    or
    Garbage In = Garbage Out
    Looks like you have the latter.
    Anway - Provided one has a well-formed Tagged PDF (see 14.8 of ISO 32000-1) export is typically rather pleasing.
    Tagged PDF has two core design criteria - support Accessible PDF and support repurpose (aks export / save as other) of PDF.
    For that well-formed PDF you want an ISO 14289-1 (PDF/UA-1) compliant PDF.
    Best is to output the well-formed Tagged PDF from an appropriate authoring application that has robust tag management.
    But that's the job of the content author rather than you.
    About all you can do is to communicate to the PDF provider that they are delivering flawed "goods".
    Be well...

  • Safari won't play youtube videos anymore. I've never had trouble in the past. I switched to chrome but then back to safari and changed the default browser to safari. Now safari won't open any sites that require a user and password. Any suggestions?

    Hello everyone,
    I've recently been getting error messages on youtube videos when using safari. This never used to happen. I tried using chrome but it didn't take care of the problem. When I set my default browser back to safari, safari won't open any websites that require a username and password. Any suggestions?

    My case is different from those listed below.  First, I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
    My problem is this:
    I run a Google search, say, "youtube somesong", and from the hit list returned from google I
    pick some selection. Youtube launches and plays the video without problems.  However, when
    i click on any of the alternate videos from the page's  vertical list, only the name of the chosen video
    appears beneath the video I just watched.  The new selection itself is not loaded by Safari.
    This occurs for any selection I choose.  My way around this problem is to force a Safari reload of
    the page by using the keyboard shortcut, Command-R.  This fills in the old video window with the
    video I just chose.  Can I conclude that this is a Safari issue alone, or is it a Safari/Youtube combo gotcha?  Anyway, the present condition *****.
    This problem began sometime after i upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I have reset Safari and have also
    deleted the Youtube.com Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage from the Privacy settings under
    System Preferences. I have also tested the problem by running Safari in 32 bit mode (no luck there).
    If anyone out there has experienced this scenario, I sure could use a little help here.

    Hi,
    What application are you scanning from?
    Try installing the HP Easy Scan app, scan and save the scan to any required location.
    May you see any difference then?
    You may install the HP Easy Scan from the following link, it will be added to your Applications folder:

  • I can not get photoshop elements to load after I install.  I am running a mac with OS 10.10.2. What am I doing wrong?

    I have not been able to get elements 13 to open after I have installed it on my MAC.  I click on the tab for photo editor and get a message saying "Photoshop Elements 13 Editor quit unexpectedly" .  I checked the minimum system standards and my system meets or exceeds all of those.

    Can you launch directly from Finder? Go to:
    Applications >> Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 >> Support Files >> Photoshop Elements 13 Editor
    Double click on the Editor app or highlight Photoshop Elements 13 Editor and control-click and choose open.

  • The video on the Camera app seems to turn off after a few min...I am trying to do a 20 min video.   What am I doing wrong please?

    The camera app has a video feature on it and I tried to do a 20 min video but it seems to turn off after a few minutes.  I tried twice with the same results.  There is no info under settings or anywhere on time restraints.  Does anyone have any suggestions please? 

    Sasabean-
    I do not know if this is related to your problem, but there is a setting on the iPad called "Auto-Lock".  Mine is set for 5 minutes.  One of the options is Never.  See Settings-General-Auto-Lock.

  • I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDMI so I could watch videos from my computer on my TV.  My TV then shows my basic computer background but the videos won't play.  What am I doing wrong?

    I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDML.  The TV recognizes my computer; I see my basic computer screen on the TV. I tried to watch videos on my TV but got nothing. (tried via my facebook vidoes and Youtube.  What am I doing wrong?

    I've got a similar (but different!) problem: I have a MacBookPro3,1 running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I want to connect to my HD TV using a HDMI to DVI cable but the MBP cannot detect the TV display. What's the solution? Is this a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.8 ? Any ideas what I can do to make things work with the HDMI to DVI cable. (N.B.: I have separate audio cable running from the MBP to amplified speakers for the sound side of things. It’s the video that’s the problem!)

  • My mac won't wake up from sleep, what can i do

    My mac won't wake up from sleep, what can i do

    Can you say more about thermal cut-off?  My mac has beene having problems waking from sleep and I have noticed that I hear the fan running ever so slightly in the background.  When I depress the power button for a second the fan shuts off. 
    Just open the side an dlook to see which fan it is.  The lower fands are easy to see as well as the video card fan.
    When you push the power button and that fan goes off is the machine now fully off?  No power light?  No fans spinning?   Now drives spinning? 
    I don't recall what I did when my machine shut off with the one exhaust fan running.  I think the obvious thing I would have tried would have been to push power button for 10 seconds to shut it down fully.  That or actually pull the plug.
    When this happens the only way to use my Mac is to restart via the power button.
    Then I guess that answers the first question.  It must have turned off since pushing the power button again was the normal reboot.
       I can't find any helpful info on thermal cut-off so I was wondering if you could explain what it is, what causes it, and more importantly what I can do to fix it?
    That was my term for it.  What else could it be?  Without its fan video card would get extremely hot and throw off all that heat.  Whats the point of having temperature sensors in so many places other than to use that info to protect the machine against damage due to overheating?  So my assumption was card gets hot, sensor (probably the pci slot 1 temperature sensor) senses it, kills the machine.  It's also seems logical to me that the circuit(s) handling temperature overloads would want to keep a exhaust fan running to dump the heat out of the machine to further protect any damage from the heat.

  • I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will

    I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will. I have tried reinstalling firefox, flash, java. Resetting firefox don't help, disabled hardware acceleration, protected mode 0 in the mms.cfg file. Nothing will play on youtube in firefox. It says "an error has occured, please try again later". The ads play fine though. Everything plays fine in IE. I have tried different versions of flash also with no luck. I even restored the system to a previous iso image with no luck. Does anyone have a solution?

  • I am trying to save a photoshop CS6 psd file to jpg and get an option jpg, jpg2000 or jpg stereo, I choose jpg and then Mac 256 colours, normal or interlaced.  I just want regular jpg with a high resolution.  What am I doing wrong, never had this problem

    I am trying to save a photoshop CS6 psd file to jpg and get an option jpg, jpg2000 or jpg stereo, I choose jpg and then Mac 256 colours, normal or interlaced.  I just want regular jpg with a high resolution.  What am I doing wrong?  , never had this problem before.  Help!!! 

    Your description of the issue is not clear:
    What format, bit depth and color was your original file "from the net"?  It sounds like it was a Color Indexed GIF, which would cause what you are describing.
    In the Macintosh Finder, select said "net image" and do a Get Info on it (Command+i). When the Info box appears in the Finder, take a screen shot and upload it here by using the little camera icon in the Reply Editor in the forum's web interface.
    If the image is a 256-color GIF, remember the rule:  GIGO = garbage in, garbage out.

    Hello AdeShaw,
    You may need to restart the computer, if you haven't done so already. Should that fail to resolve the issue, we've an article that can help resume the download.
