.mov Files not working in Mac but working on Windows

I use a Kodak 10MP digital camera to click. I use it to shoot some videos too.
I had some videos taken earlier on the camera and used to view them on windows. Just bought a Macbook a few days ago, and all those videos worked fine (transfered using an external drive). But there is something I m so confused with now.
All the videos I shoot now, iPhoto does not import (hangs). I copied the video to windows where I could see all easily, and copied it to a pen drive. But sadly even trying to open them on pen drive doesn't work. It says its not a .mov file (dimension: -- --) whereas earlier videos be it 640x480 or HD worked fine. Do note videos are working on Windows. I have Quicktime 10.0 and player 7 installed.
Please help.

Won't you mid it AMAZING
Windows Quicktime and VLC are playing the files easily. Mac OS X is not. aren't mov files exclusive to Apple?
There are no picture settings on the camera (heck the camera is so bad you can't do anything even on trying). How is this possible that old videos worked and new aren't. I can't even sleep until I understand.
Already feeling going the Mac way wasn't the right choice. Should have stuck with Windows.

  • Serial number not accepted lightroom MAC but works on windows

    loaded a test version of lightroom on MAC. Tried to add the serial number but number was not accepted.
    Installed Lightroom on Windows PC and entered the serial number and this works fine.
    Why can I not add the same number on my MACbook?

    Christian the version available through the Creative Cloud Desktop application is designed for subscription customers.  Please run the uninstaller for Photoshop Lightroom located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.
    Once you have installed the subscription version you can download the full version from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh.  Each update contains the full installation files so please download the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1.
    If you do not have a Creative Cloud or Individual membership then I would recommend removing the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  It is designed as an installation mechanism for individuals who have an active membership.

  • USB external drive not readable by mac but readable by windows

    Hi, I have a usb external drive (Seagate FreeAgentDesktop Media) which works fine with windows xp but cannot be read by the mac. I reinstalled the mac a couple of days ago because it was being very slow and I had a bunch of junk on it. Anyway, after that, it won't read the external drive. It will give me an error message saying that the disk is not readable by the computer. Sometimes it will give me the message saying that the drive was unmounted improperly by windows and for me to unmount it correctly. When I go back to windows, it's there, then I restart and go back to mac, it'll give me the message that the disk is not readable. I have 2 of these drives and both of them have this issue. I also tried disk warrior but it says that the file system cannot be rebuilt. I tried USB flashdrives and they work. I got all the data off of one of the external drives into the other and I couldn't format or even erase the drive because it says that the permission was denied. However, I could format it and erase it with the installation DVD. But I had the same result no matter what format they were in. I have very important data on these drives and I really need to be able to use them with both operating systems. Thanks a lot!

    Hi Schmerz Meister;
    If DiskWarrior say it can rebuild the disk about your only other alternative it to reformat it.
    This will of course destroy all data on the disk so make sure you have copies of the data elsewhere,

  • Internal 3TB Cavier Green WD Hard Disk not detect on mac but detected on Windows (Parallels

    I bought a 3TB Cavier Green Western Digital and I have a Astone external 3.5 case. I attached both of this together and hook up USB to my Mac mini. It seems like my Disk Utility doesn't detect my 3TB at all, at first I thought my hard drive has a problem. So I open up Windows 8 on my Mac running Parallels and try it, It works perfectly and detected on Windows via Parallels and apprently it also detected on my Dell Inspiron Laptop. So I don't know what happen to Mac, it seems like Mac OS X doesn't want to detect the 3TB at all. Is there anything I can do?

    I can guarantee you that it work seamlessly on Windows with the same enclosure, Windows 8 running Paralles on my Mac and Windows 7 on Dell Inspiron showing me 2794.52GB. I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I already check the System Profiler on my Mac where you click the System Report>USB. It can be detect, but not detail.  I will try to run Terminal app in few days and will update you again. I emailed Western Digital. At the moment, this is what they ask me to do.
    Please connect your drive onto a working computer with pure Windows environment and perform an "Extended Test" to test your drive for problems using Data Lifeguard Diagnostics for Windows. Kindly go to the link below if you need assistance:
    http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=940
    Please provide us the screenshot of the test result so we may verify the cause of the issue.
    The "Extended Test" is going to take me 53 hours.
    Do you think the next update 10.8.3 will help me? Because I read about BootCamp able to support 3TB hard drive.

  • I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My wireless mouse with not scroll in mail but works fine in other applications? Any suggestions?

    I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My apple wireless mouse will not scroll in Mail but works fine in other applications.
    Any suggestions?

    First, see this discussion. If the solution suggested there doesn't work for you, continue.
    If you've installed a Mail plugin called "Mail Unread Menu" and you know how to remove it, please do that, then quit and relaunch Mail. Test. Otherwise, see below.
    Back up all data.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:  
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select 
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
    2. Repeat with this line:
    /Library/Mail/Bundles
    This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Link works on mac but not on pc

    Hi -
    I am trying to insert a jpg into a dreamweaver file.
    I then upload the html file along with the jpg to my server in a folder called "layout"
    So the url is:  http://www.mysite.com/layout/test.html
    The link works on mac, but not on pc's.
    Any idea why?
    Some links work on pc's like this, and others don't.
    Thanks- It's driving me crazy!!

    The link is not correct....you have it listed as" mysite.com", which I assume is where you are to insert the name of your url.

  • Premiere Elements 13 has stopped importing MOV. files. Quicktime is installed and working

    Premiere Elements 13 has stopped importing MOV. files. Quicktime is installed and working.

    Nowconfused
    I tried to get background information on the video from your camera but all I could find so far is that the camera is probably recording
    1080p (1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 or 30 progressive frames per second. What are you (manually) or the program (automatically) setting as the project
    preset to match the properties of your video source. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out.
    How are you importing the files into the Premiere Elements 13 project - with the Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from a computer
    hard drive location or are you making a USB connection between the camera and computer/Premiere Elements 13 and using Add Media/Video ..../Video Importer? Could you possibly have changed the way you are importing the files into a project?
    Would it be possible for you to send a small sample of one of these .mov files that will no longer import? Maybe in a Dropbox link that you include in a reply?
    Do you have any of the older files still available - the ones that did import at one time? If so, will they still import into a project or do they now not import?
    More later.
    Thanks for the follow ups.

    just hooked up airport extreme. works on mac but won't allow phone or iPad on. how do i get them to connect?

    How old are the various devices? It could be possible for you to have configured a very new AirPort Extreme in a way that older iPhones and iPads could not access. For example, could you have set up the Extreme to use only 801.11n and 5GHz?

  • People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version

    i am using sharepoint 2010 and windows authentication
    recently i have updated my ie to ie11 and problem goes here.
    when i try to select from people picker, there are an unexpected error happened 
    however when i use other ie version, people picker work fine, what goes wrong?
    i have already added my system as trusted site
    if there any others thing i miss out?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version.
    IE 11 is known to have compatibility issues on SharePoint 2010, please make sure to:
    first of all, try installing latest update for IE 11 (several compatibility issues were fixed since the first release)
    add the site to compatibility view (in IE> Tools> Compatibility view settings> type site name> add)
    add the site to trusted sites and set the zone security level to low (in IE> Internet Options> Security> trusted sites> sites>add your site there> ok> custom level> select low> reset> ok)
    You can use developer tools (f12) and set browser mode to the version that is most compatible with your environment.
    Best Regards,

  • Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images?

    Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images. When the videos is drop onto the tracking object the videos corner don't appear highlighted. I am working on windows 7 with version 13.1.

    Are you within 30 days of purchase for the Premiere Elements 13? And, did you purchase as a download from Adobe? If so, you can
    apply for a return/refund for 13. If you purchased elsewhere, then you would be governed by the return/refund policy of the seller.
    Adobe no longer sells version 12, so you would have to find a vendor who still has it in stock and purchase it. There is no way to "downgrade"
    13 to 12.
    What you may want to do is to download and install the Premiere Elements 12 tryout from the following web site to verify that 12 Motion
    Tracking works for you; whereas 13 cannot with regard to use of video for the Motion Tracking source media.
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    Apparently this web site does not sell the tryout. It just makes it available for use.
    Before I posted my reply to you I looked at Motion Tracking with video source media on both Premiere Elements 12/12.1 and 13/13.1 on the same Windows 7 64 bit computer.
    If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.
