Need help with .mov files that won't open

Here's the situation...
I have 2 dvdr's with 4 .mov files on them. when i try to copy them to my desktop it tells me that
"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "BonJovi_Who_SaysDV NTSC.mov" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
I have to gain access to these .mov files tonight or I'm gonna be a real shithead. I just got the discs fedex'd to me today so I didn't put it off til the last minute. Can anyone offer any possible solutions? If so, please help.

Putting aside copyright issues in (naive?) belief you have a legitimate use of the material, your problem lies in the file or disk. One of them is either corrupt or not compatible with the drive you are trying to read it on. Try it on another computer (even a PC) and if you can read it on that computer make a new copy of the file on a new disk or a firewire drive (or USB stick if it fits).

Help with .mov files that QuickTime Player says it can't read

Help. I have .mov files (on an external hard drive) I can see that they are there, but every time I try to open any of them with QuickTime Player I get the error message "could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands."

Need help with an app that won't finish downloading to my iPhone 5s

This app will neither finish downloading, nor will it delete. The app is called Google Translate. please help me. Thank you all in advance.

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

HT5622 I need help with my MasterCard it won't work

Need help with my MasterCard it won't work

If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it is a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Need help with connecting file inputs to arrays

In this assignment I have a program that will do the following: display a list of names inputed by the user in reverse order, display any names that begin with M or m, and display any names with 5 or more letters. This is all done with arrays.
That was the fun part. The next part requires me to take the names from a Notepad file, them through the arrays and then output them to a second Notepad file.
Here is the original program: (view in full screen so that the code doesn't get jumbled)
import java.io.*; //Imports the Java library
class progB //Defines class
 public static void main (String[] arguments) throws IOException
 BufferedReader keyboard; //<-
 InputStreamReader reader; // Allows the program to
 reader = new InputStreamReader (System.in); // read the the keyboard
 keyboard = new BufferedReader (reader); //<-
 String name; //Assigns the name variable which will be parsed into...
 int newnames; //...the integer variable for the amount of names.
 int order = 0; //The integer variable that will be used to set the array size
 String[] array; //Dynamic array (empty)
 System.out.println (" How many names do you want to input?"); //This will get the number that will later define the array
 name = keyboard.readLine ();
 newnames = Integer.parseInt (name); // Converts the String into the Integer variable
 array = new String [newnames]; //This defines the size of the array
 DataInput Imp = new DataInputStream (System.in); //Allows data to be input into the array
 String temp;
 int length; //Defines the length of the array for a loop later on
 for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
 { // Takes the inputed names and
 System.out.println (" Please input name "); // gives them a number according to
 temp = keyboard.readLine (); // the order they were inputed in
 array [order] = temp; //<-
 for (order = newnames - 1 ; order >= 0 ; order--) //<-
 { // Outputs the names in the reverse
 System.out.print (" \n "); // order that they were inputed
 System.out.println (" Name " + order + " is " + array [order]); //<-
 for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
 if (array [order].startsWith ("M") || array [order].startsWith ("m")) // Finds and outputs any and all
 { // names that begin with M or m
 System.out.print (" \n "); //
 System.out.println (array [order] + (" starts with M or m")); //
 } //<-
 for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
 length = array [order].length (); //
 if (length >= 5) // Finds and outputs names
 { // with 5 or more letters
 System.out.print (" \n "); //
 System.out.println ("Name " + array [order] + " have 5 or more letters "); //<-
}The notepad file contains the following names:
jim
laruie
tim
timothy
manny
joseph
matty
amanda
I have tried various methods but the one thing that really gets me is the fact that i can't find a way to connect the names to the arrays. Opening the file with FileInputStream is easy enough but using the names and then outputing them is quite hard. (unless i'm thinking too hard and there really is a simple method)

By "connect", do you just mean you want to put the names into an array?
array[0] = "jim"
array[1] = "laruie"
and so on?
That shouldn't be difficult at all, provided you know how to open a file for reading, and how to read a line of text from it. You can just read the line of text, put it in the array position you want, until the file is exhausted. Then open a file for writing, loop through the array, and write a line.
What part of all that do you need help with?

Need help with WMI code that will send output to db

'm new to WMI code writing, so I need some help with writing code that we can store on our server. I want this code to run when a user logs into their computer
and talks to our server. I also want the code to:
* check the users computer and find all installed patches
* the date the patches were installed
* the serial number of the users computer
* the computer name, os version, last boot up time, and mac address
and then have all this output to a database file. At the command prompt I've tried:
wmic qfe get description, hotfixid
This does return the patch information I'm looking for, but how do I combine that line of code with:
wmic os get version, csname, serialnumber, lastbootuptime
and
wmic nicconfig get macaddress
and then get all this to output to a database file?

Thank you for the links. I checked out http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd793612.aspx and
found lots of good information. I also found a good command that will print information to a text file.
Basically what I'm trying to do is retrieve a list of all installed updates (Windows updates and 3rd party updates). I do like that the below code because it gives me the KB numbers for the Windows updates. I need this information so my IT co-workers &
I can keep track of which of our user computers need a patch/update installed and preferably which patch/update. The minimum we want to know is which patches / updates have been installed on which computer. If you wondering why we don't have Windows automatic
updates enable, that's because we are not allowed to.
This is my code so far.
#if you want the computer name, use this command
get-content env:computername
$computer = get-content env:computername
#list of installed patches
Get-Hotfix -ComputerName $computer#create a text file listing this information
Get-Hotfix > 'C:\users\little e\Documents\WMI help\PowerShell\printOutPatchList.txt'
I know you don't want to tell me the code that will print this out to a database (regardless if it's Access or SQL), and that's find. But maybe you can tell me this. Is it possible to have the results of this sent to a database file or do I need to go into
SQL and write code for SQL to go out and grab the data from an Excel file or txt file? If I'm understanding this stuff so far, then I suspect that it can be done both ways, but the code needs to be written correctly for this to happen. If it's true, then which
way is best (code in PowerShell to send information to SQL or SQL go get the information from the text file or Excel file)?

Need Help with .nnlp File.............A.S.A.P.

I'm having a problem also with my JNLP file. I have downloaded the program onto one computer and that computer is using j2re1.4.2_04
The other computers I believe are all running j2re 1.4.2_05
I'm not sure if that's make a difference, but on the computer with j2re 1.4.2_05 when going to the site where the .jnlp file is located, the application comes up and says Starting Application. After it gets to that screen it just stays there. I really need help with this as soon as possible.
Here is my .jnlp file listed below:

This was due to a change in 1.4.2_05
the main class attribute

Help with working script that won't convert på higher version player (As2)

HI have an issue with a file that was created some time ago to Fplayer v6 and when I now “upgrade” it to 8-9 or 10 it does not load the xml links ;/
I have no idea why, the file(s) works fine in the old player 6
I have a set of xml files (note: one file for each country on a map,and the possible solution should not include to put all links in the same xml file)
the xml looks like this (example is for Denmark file called dk.xml): [code]
<broadcast>
<story>
<lead>www.alink.com</lead>
<URL>http://www.alink.com/</URL>
</story>
</broadcast>
So in the flash file I have a set of buttons the does a few actions
one action is to call/go to a specific frame in a MC in that frame I put the Xl loading stuff for each frame (lable)
[code]
headlineXML = new XML();
headlineXML.onLoad = myLoad;
headlineXML.load("be.xml");
function myLoad(ok) {
 if (ok == true) {
 Publish(this.firstChild);
function Publish(HeadlineXMLNode) {
if (HeadlineXMLNode.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "BROADCAST") {
content = "";
story = HeadlineXMLNode.firstChild;
while (story != null) {
 if (story.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "STORY") {
 lead = "";
 URL = "";
 element = story.firstChild;
while (element != null) {
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "LEAD") {
lead = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "URL") {
 URL = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
} element = element.nextSibling;
content += "<a href='"+URL+"'>"+lead+"</a> "+body+" ";
txt.htmltext=content;
story = story.nextSibling;
the button (main stage) that calles the MC frame lable with the xml that loads the load thex and a link into a dynamic txt box (called “txt”), has this code on it: [code]
on (press) {
 infoon("DK");
on (rollOver) {
 DK._alpha = 50;
on (releaseOutside, rollOut, dragOut) {
 DK._alpha = 100;
so as said it works fine in FP 6 (as2) but when published to FP 8 -9 or 10 only the XML does not load at all
What could be the issue (I know that it is old code and it is pretty poor and should be fully upgraded but my
skills is not on that level, I managed to make the above work from some tutorials but understanding the publishing issues
is a bit over my head J
I would be extremely gratefull if anyone could help me out it is really frustrating especially since the file actually works fine
in the old player ;/

the two most common issues when converting from as2 vp 6 to as2 vp 6+ are:
1. failure to initialize some variable. (if not explicitly initialized in vp 6, understood to be zero. in vp+, it's undefined.)
2. vp6 is not case-senstive. vp 6+ is case- sensitive.
you have both.
body is undefined and htmltext is not the same as htmlText. fix those and retest.

Hi there,
what Image editing software do you have, if any ?

I have a .mov file that won't play in Quicktime - do I need to download a decoder?

Found out via Movie Inspector that these .mov files have DVC Pro HD Codec - which I believe has to do with Avid Editing software? Anyhow, I need to find out what I need to download in able to see these video files? Do I have to purchase a decoder of some kind? Hopefully not? Is there any other way to view these files on my imac? I am running OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5 and have both Quicktime 10 and 7 installed. Thanks for any help/advice!

Would you suggest I put them through something like Toast and try to convert it to an .mp4 or .mov file again?
Right idea—wrong application. You still need to be able to acces the a "pro" set of codec components. Basically you can purchase and install FCP X ($299.99), Motion 5 ($49.99), or Compressor 4 ($49.99) to gain access to the ProApps QT Codecs package. Once you install any of these apps, you can run the Software Update utility to download and install the "Pro" codecs package as described in SUPPORT ARTICLE HT4714. Once the codecs are installed as part of your system's QT codec component configuration, they will be available to all media apps that can access your system's codec configuration—e.g., QT 7, QT 7 Pro, QT X, iMovie, GarageBand, MPEG Streamclip, etc. Since you mentioned clients, I assume you are providing a profesional service and might find $50 a fair investment for access to the entire ProApps QT codecs package which also includes other professional editing codec families. In any case, this workflow does provide a low-cost, easy way to leagally install the "pro" codecs on your system(s).
P.S.
You can read DOWNLOAD ARTICLE DL1396 to see which "pro" codec families are included in the ProApps QT codecs package. This may help you better evaluate whether or not you wish to go this route.

Need help viewing mov. files in Quicktime 10, with Mac OS X, 10.6.7

I have Quicktime 10.0, and laptop with Mac Os X, version 10.6.7. I can't view certain mov files. So I looked up info online, that said to download Quicktime verson 7 to run with Version 10.0. When I downloaded Quicktime 7, I was told I could not install it because I already had Quicktime 10.0. Could definitely use some help!

Thank you so much! I successfully download the other version of Quicktime.
But, I'm still unable to view my mov file. I looked at the 'more info' tab and the Codecs is: MPEG-2 Video, Linear PCM, Timecode.
Any ideas of how I can get this file to play in Quicktime, or open in Final Cut?

Need Help with Timeline Setup, Text won't show up in SWF

I am creating a site for one of my company's restaurants, and I have all of my pages created in flash. I have not done any Actionscript on any of the pages yet. I thought that I would just be able to create each page and take the swf files and import them into a main index page on the timeline and code from there. However, when I imported my .swf files to the library of the main flash file, none of my text showed up at all. I have added the fonts to my library and I tried breaking apart the text, but nothing has worked.
Also, I don't know how exactly to set up the timeline to link all of my pages, and I have looked in other forums and have seen people reference the online help, but I do not know where to find that!
I am a mess right now, the site needs to be up by Friday!! PLEASE HELP!

So I have created all new movie clips in my index.fla file by copying all of my files from another file and pasting them into the movie clip timeline. I have placed all of my new movie clips in different layers on the index timeline, and have created keyframes 10 frames apart. I have my actions layer with frame labels for each page every ten frames (i.e. tbLabel is at frame 1 in my actions layer and the movie clip is on a different layer at frame one, restaurantLabel is at frame 10 in my actions layer and the movie clip for that page is on a different layer at frame ten, all the way up to frame 120). I haven't put any actionscript in my movieclips except for stop(); at the end of each file. My current actionscript, placed in frame 1 for my first page when the viewer goes to the site is as follows:
thunderBayBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goIndex);
restaurantBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goRestaurant);
birchBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goBirch);
menuBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goMenu);
eventBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goEventLand);
davEventBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goDavEvent);
rockEventBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goRockEvent);
pewEventBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPewEvent);
pewEventBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPewEvent);
giftBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goGiftCert);
downloadBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goDownload);
contestBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goContestLand);
davContestBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goDavContest);
rockPewContestBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goRockPewContest);
function goIndex(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(1);
function goRestaurant(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(10);
function goBirch(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(20);
function goMenu(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(30);
function goEventLand(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(40);
function goDavEvent(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(50);
function goRockEvent(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(50);
function goPewEvent(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(50);
function goGiftCert(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(90);
function goDownload(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(100);
function goContestLand(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(110);
function goDavContest(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(120);
function goRockPewContest(event:MouseEvent):void
            gotoAndPlay(120);
However, when I go to test the movie, I get "1120 access" errors even though the buttons are named in the properties pane, however, I cannot view that in the file that conatins all of my movie clips because they are movie clips.
Also, When I go to view the movie with all of my movie clips, all of them play one on top of the other, none of them stop, and the buttons do not work.
I'm having a hard time figuring out what actionscript I need to use and where!

Need to edit a Captivate file that won't open. Can the SWF be edited?

We are currently using Adobe eLearning Suite 2 (Cp5).
We have 2 older Captivate files (Cp 3 or 4) that will not open; they act like they're opening but eventually they just time out without the error message that you normally get with a corrupt file.
So all we have access to are the SWFs & zip files that were uploaded into our LMS.
We are switching to a different LMS and need to quickly make an edit to these files before they are uploaded to the new LMS.
Is it possible to edit the SWF (delete about 30 seconds of content off the end of each file) and still have them function as far as registering completion? And if so, what program would I need?

Sorry, but only Adobe can speculate as to why the older files refuse to open in the newer version. Phase of the moon? Jupiter aligning with Mars while the house of the Moon is in retrograde?
Personally, I'm going with the Mass Coronal Ejection theory!
Assuming there is really no interaction going on, you *MIGHT* be able to fudge things to get that last 30 seconds to go away by playing the SWF and using Captivate to record the SWF as it plays.
Cheers... Rick

A drive can fail and usually not if, only when
and is it bus powered or not
