Movies play in old QT versions but not now?
Hey everyone! I have a .mpg file created about 5 years ago on a G4. I recently tried opening it on my G5 with QT Version 7.5.5 but it said "This file could not be opened because it is not a movie file." When I went back to the G4 and tried opening it there with QT Version 7.1.6 it opened and played just fine. Any suggestions on how to correct this? I saw that another post said you have to enable older codecs in QT Preferences under the Advanced Tab, but when I went there for my version of QT (7.5.5) there was no Advanced Tab available. Is this a QT Pro feature? Thanks everyone!

You enable legacy encoders via the QuickTime System Preference pane.

How come when I download a movie it will play instantly on my laptop but not on apple tv...it takes hours to download
The app as far as I can tell is not an Apple app. It has a gray "target" configuration with no indication of what is.

I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?
The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check. -
I purchased flip player to convert wma files i have from a previous laptop and it played some of my music but not some of the others this error msg came up, i payed 30.00 so it could convert? The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -19000.)
Dear Nay2000,
I have the same problem, my girl-friend saved a bigger Gigabyte library from her old laptop before she sold it, then at some point she realized that she couldn't play many songs that she had transfered. Now, I paid those 30 quid as well, and it doesn't play 99% of the files, that is very frustrating, is there any way you got it revived?
Regards. -
The new iTunes 12 does not have a rent tab. I've downloaded two movies which appear in the Movies folder on my Windows Explorer but not in the actual iTunes programme itself. Completely frustrating! Where can I find these two movies to watch? It asked me once it was downloaded if I wanted to watch it but I wasn't ready to and now can't find where to play these again.
When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day! -
MKV x264 Movie plays great on QT X but choppy at Front Row
When I playing 720p .mkv (x264) files with QT X (with Perian) at fullscreen there is no problem, movie plays at great speed. But when I tried to play with them Front Row it is always choppy (I waited for buffering ending).
I uninstall Snow Leopard and install Leopard but the problem is unsolved (QT 7 Pro plays movie without a problem at fullscreen).
What is wrong with Front Row? It uses the same Quick Time Framework.
I can not use my Mac Mini 2.1 as a home theatre system because of that.
My conf: Mac Mini 2.1 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo 4 GB RAM SuperdriveIt could be a 'difficult' form of Matroska file. FYI Matroska is just a container like MOV or AVI, and some mkv have the video encoded with Real Video Codec (RV9 RV10). Perian+QT can't decode this, but VLC will play .mkv files just fine on OS X, as long as they don't use H.264!
It's a bit of a lottery until Matroska decide to support the Apple platform. I have found this:
http://mkv4mac.free.fr/index.php?lang=en&p=lec
which may help.
But there may be another workaround: 1. Get Info the mkv file
2. Change to extension to wmv. Save as wmv and that could work better.
Or this link may be helpful:

Recently, a poster (ZachP14) suggested this:
"There's a program called Plex that runs .mkv files awesome on my 2.0 ghz macbook."

Maybe worth a try? -

It seems like I cannot get GPS only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX, garmin blueChart mobile, and a GPS monitoring tool. All show no signal. If I turn on cell and wifi, it says I get gps signal, but can't tell if that is from the GPS chip, or just from cell and wifi only (maybe with some gps mixed in)? Any ideas on how to get iPad working with GPS only??
Roger that. Thanks for your time.

Yes. tried the one ram stick, no go. I have been trying to boot off/install the windows 7 disk but am unable to get to the point where windows starts installing after its gathering information portion of the install. I can get to the disk selection screen of the install with the WD HD on SATA port 2 but then get the "cant install messages" when I try to select the Vertex 3. Yes I can see the Vertex 3 Drive as well as the WD drive at this point. some times I have to hit "scan" a couple of times. -
I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?
I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?
Skipping songs
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
If you use Windows you may like to try scanning the files with MP3Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/control clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags> None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g.convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

In order to load games on Facebook you need to set the Flash plugin to allow third-party content
1. Go to the Flash player Global Storage Settings panel.
2. Make sure '''Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer''' is check marked.

Does anybody know why Illustrator will open Solidworks DWG files saved in R2007-2009 version but not version R2010?
Evidently Solidworks changed the output of their files to a format that AI cannot interpret. Just backsave in Solidworks to the required version.

A movie shows in my purchased list but not in the Movies list...
The purchase history on your iTunes account will only show purchases from the iTunes stores (iTunes, app store, ibookstore, Mac app store), not from Apple online or bricks-and-mortar stores.
Does anything show on your credit card ? If the email is genuine then it's possible that your and their email addresses are similar and that they gave the wrong id (or the store typed it incorrectly), it doesn't necessarily mean that anybody has access to your account.
For the contact, you will initially just receive an acknowledgement email, the proper reply may take 24 (possibly 48) hours.
