OLD files called MooV! How to play them?

Hi there,
I was recently looking to get some glimmering water footage for a shot in a project I'm working on and remembered that, like 8 or 9 YEARS ago I had some footage elements that would be perfect. So I went to searching on my old backups and found the discs, yay! However, somehow they are labeled as .MooV and when I try to open them Quicktime says it doesn't support them! I am certain I produced these files using AE, but a much much earlier version. Does anyone know what is needed to be able to view these files? When I import into AE now they show up blank white.
Thanks so much.
Best,
Fredo

thanks so much, SeanBall! And, yes indeed, AVBV!!! That rings a loud bell in my head, so you are dead on. Thanks so much for clearing up the problem. Can I install AVBV on Windows XP? My roommate has such a computer... Sadly, both of my other computers have Tiger, and I have a new one coming tomorrow with Leopard, so no Classic environment. Anyway, if you could send me the codec that would be great: fredo (at) aviola (dot) com.
Muchos muchos gracias!

I was able to drag and drop songs from iTunes in to Garage Band so I could slow them down to learn how to play them. Since the newest version of iTunes came out I no longer can. Is this a feature that I can turn back on?

I was able to drag and drop songs from iTunes in to Garage Band so I could slow them down to learn how to play them. Since the newest version of iTunes came out I no longer can. Is this a feature that I can turn back on? I really would like to continue to utlize that feature because it makes learning to play songs easier. Any help would be appericated.

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

HT203167 Moved iTunes library from one computer to another using external hard drive. Cannot play many files. Says they are missing but locates them in an archive file but still won't play them. Are the files themselves part of the .itl files?

Moved iTunes library from old computer (PC Windows 7) to new (PC Window 8) using external hard drive. Library listing shows all music but can only play a fraction of it. On the ones it cannot play it asks to locate, then refers to an archived version (an .itl file), and still cannot play them. Do I just need to copy the archived .itl over, or is that not where the actual media are (do the actual media files even exist on the new computer?)? Any advice or information on this would be helpful.

*Also...is there any way I can filter out all the tracks with the ! so I can delete the unplaying copies as they're taking up room in my iTunes? I know how to find duplicates, but then I have to go and delete each one individually...*
*Thank you!*

Purchased songs with old AOL account, itunes won't play them, nor copy them

Years ago, I used my old AOL account name as my Apple/itunes login, and purchased several songs. Since then, I've changed my Apple ID, and songs I've purchased using that login play fine on my Mac, and transfer to my ipod/iphone. However, songs I purchased with the old AOL login will not sync to ipod/iphone, and when I try to play them in itunes, it comes up with "Computer is not authorized to play. Would you like to authorize", and it has my AOL name, and it asked me to enter the password (which I remember), so I enter it, but after i enter it, it says "You need to change your account to use an Apple ID." But I already have an Apple ID. Long question short: How do I make it so my old AOL purchased songs will play on my iTunes and ipod?

I was referring to the online music store. I googled and found this contact:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
You should also be able to log into your account on find some means of contact or a Report a Problem link from the account or an e-mail receipt (if you still have one).

Some AAC files are truncated when iTunes plays them

When I had iTunes 6, I went through and converted all my MP3's to AAC using the Advanced > Convert Selection to AAC option. When I upgraded to iTunes 7, it stopped handling some AAC files correctly. When they play, they get almost to the end, then abruptly stop and the next song plays. Quicktime handles these files perfectly, and plays them through the end.
A. Why is this happening? (Are they encoded badly? I feel like this can't be the case, since I've only used iTunes to encode my files, and Quicktime handles them fine)
B. How can I fix it?

Actually, no I don't have crossfade playback on. The files cut out anywhere from 5 - 60 seconds before the file is supposed to finish, it really has nothing to do with crossfade...

My Power Mac 7200 is failing. I would like to be able to use old reports on my PC. How can I transfer them?
The Mac will save files to a 3.5 inch floppy disk.

You could write the files to a PC formatted floppy, you might be able to do File Sharing from it to the PC with an Ethernet cable.
How bad off is the 7200? Can we maybe fix it?

Can someone solve the mystery for me? I have old Super 8 movies when I play them on a TV and put my Macbook in front of them and record them it picks them up good but only gets part of them?

Why does iMovie camera only record part of a home movie? It records them well but but there are many parts missing?

no mystery ....
'moving images' are created by projecting frames so fast, the human eye gets tricked, not to notice a slide-show but … a movie.
a TV, esp. the old tube ones, 'write' a frame onto the screen, line by line (a frame is made of pixels, in rows and lines - take a very, very close look of your screen)
the picture on the TV is shown for about a 1/30th of a second, a camera is able to record, letssay for example sake, a 1/60th = only half frame is 'seen'/recorded.
.... it's never a good idea to record projected movies, not from a projection, not from a screen - you should synchronize both devices - which is for normal people like us impossible.

DB6 - Log files accidentally deleted - How to recreate them?

Hello community,
we found that all DB2 log files of a Solution Manager were manually deleted. The instance was down for some time, so we did not realize the problem immediately, but only now on the restart
We are able to start DB2, but SAP can't connect and this error is reported in the log from the R3trans -d
An I/O error occurred while accessing the database STATE=58030
In the db2diag there are a lot of errors related to missing log file:
RETCODE : ZRC=0x860F000A=-2045837302=SQLO_FNEX "File not found."
DIA8411C A file "S0000016.LOG" could not be found.
There is a procedure to recreate the DB2 log files?
Best Regards,
Valerio

Hi Valerio,
Without the log files the db does not know what transactions are open and hwat state it is in.
The logs cannot be just recreated.
Do you have any possibility to recover the logs? Could they have been moved to another location or were they completey deleted? Do you have a log mirror path set?
If deleted then you could either restore from your last good backup and restore to the last point where you have logs or you will need to open a message to ask assistance in solving this.
Regards,
Paul

Orphaned iWeb files on iDisk, how to get them back?

Hello,
I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled iLife '06. I do have a little iWeb website I created before reformatting my hard drive and now it's orphaned on the server. I do not have a copy of the web site locally on my PowerBook. Is there a way to recover or synchronize the iWeb website files on the remote server locally?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
1.5 GHz PowerBook G4 12 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

No, there is no way to import these already published files back into iWeb. As you probably know, if you did not have a chance to back up the "Domain" file, then you will no longer have the ability to edit or publish your site. That's what has led to your site files being orphaned. The most you can do is to leave your orphaned site online until you have a chance to rebuild and republish your site. In the meantime you can salvage whatever graphics/images that are on this orphaned site to use in recreating your site. Just load the site up in Safari and then start dragging things from the page to your desktop.

How to play .wmv file with a MSS1 stream encoded?

I found a bunch of old tutorials on my HD and tried to play them. QT gave me an error message about not having a codec. VLC also couldn't play them. I was able to open the files in QT and do a 'get info'. That's where I found the MSS1 info. Anyone have any ideas about this one?
Thanks,
Chris

Interesting, but any idea how to play them w/in QT?
Believe it would take a 5-8 year old player (WMV or third-party) to support the WMV 7 Screen format. My WMV experience doesn't go back that far so I am not even sure it was ever supported on the Mac. Believe Flip4Mac assumed support of WMV four years after the codec was initially released and it doesn't list MSS1 as being supported at this time. Would probably be easier to see if any old Windows users might have a compatible application and convert the files on the Windows machine.

How to import m4a files in a USB drive and play them using iTune?

I have set the target directory of iTune to that USB drive, iTune just does not play them. The length of the playing is awful long. But in reality , they are merely 1min long reading when I listen to them using Window Media Player.

CS4 is much older than Windows 8. CS4 is meant to work on XP or Vista. Getting it to run on Windows 7 was a bit of an issue, so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you have CS4 running on Windows 8 at all.
It's also possible that a new camera records in a codec that such an old version of AE doesn't understand.
Make sure you're running the latest update to your version of AE. You're on version 9, so make sure you've run the Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.3 Update (I would not suggest updating in the middle of a project though, as any changes might break AE). I would like to reiterate: you're running a version that was released six years ago on an operating system that was released much more recently. So, be careful how you tread. However, if you're not running 9.0.3, you're missing some bug fix updates that might solve your problem.
I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of AE.
That being said, as Dave mentions, CS4 and earlier had lots of trouble with MPEG-4 and other codecs that used interframe compression. Can you open the files in your version of Premiere? If so, you can use Premiere or the Adobe Media Encoder to convert to a proper intermediate codec. MOV is just a container format. QuickTime with the PNG codec will work in After Effects CS4 with no problems as will the other codecs Dave mentions.

Here is a post I assembled for another with a similar problem:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade to an Intel compatible versions of your software, or find alternatives that will open your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files.

I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files. I am stumped.

If you have the original movie files, you'd be much better converting those, otherwise try MPEGstreamclip.

You can't fix it. iTunes bought content is DRM protected. so it can only be played on authorized devices. i.e devices associated with the apple Id used to purchase the content. Its copyright protection that the rights owners demand.
Circumventing it, is illegal in most countries, and as such cannot be discussed here. If you want to play the content you'll need to connect your computer directly to your TV, or use some other device you can authorize for iTunes content such as an iPad, iPhone , iPod touch or Apple Tv.
