PLEASE HELP! Quicktime won't show image

Sometimes when trying to watch a quicktime video, it appears as if its a audio file so it doesn;t show an image at all, I was wondering if anyone knew about a component or whether there is a program to convert these files, i have tried Divx Doctor and Divx Tool it didn't work, it also doesn't work in VLC.
Thanks for any help

If VLC will not display it there is a chance it cannot be played on MacOS. You can open it in QT Player and check MovieInfo to see what compression was used. Then use Google to search for a Mac decompressor or repost here with the compression name (and the file type) and perhaps someone will know if a decompressor is available. There are, for example, some avi comprssors that are not available for Mac.
Thanks for your help, i've tried looking at the movieinfo but it says that the file format is ''N/A.''

You are correct....it will not work. Please carefully read Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Please help - iMessage won't work

So I updated my phone today like I'm sure a lot of you did and I tried going in to activate my iMessage, I've tried it for hours and even reset my phone and it won't work. I know my id and password are right and my connection to my wifi is good but every time I do it it pops up after about 30 seconds of trying and says "could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again"
Someone please help ... What do I do? My date & time thing is already set to on as I previously read.

If you are having trouble with SMS messages, then you would need to address that with your carrier, unless you are receiving them and just not get a notification. If you have followed the steps I gave you for iMessage and you are not receiving notifications, then check the settings for Notification Center. If you have Messages set to show on the lock screen and play a sound, and display a banner, etc. then your next step is a restore. First restore from a backup, and if that doesn't work, then restore as a new device. Restoring the phone will result in the loss of all data. Make sure you have backed up the phone, synced all content and imported photos to the computer.

Please help...Slide show for funeral in jepoardy

I know this isn't the iphoto or imovie forum, but the smartest brains live in this forum. You can send me to my room with no dinner for mis-posting, but I need some help ASAP...Tom, Ian, Al, Micheel, Piero, I need your A game...
I seem to be having trouble inporting scanned pictures from iphoto into imovie 08. This is my process.
1. Scan the photos.
2. Save as JPEG image into the pictures folder (Not the iphoto file, but pictures -My save as choices do not include iphoto).
3. Do a drag and drop of picture from picture folder into opened iphoto program. I can now see them in iphoto and have placed them in a seperate iphoto album.
4. When I choose pictures (right hand side button that looks like a camera) it shows me all my pictures EXCEPT any scanned ones. I have 6000 pictures in iphoto, but imovie only sees 4000 (2000 are scanned).
5. When I try to do a drag and drop from iphoto directly into imovie, imovie tells me the pictures are not compatable.
What am I doing wrong? My guess is something from the scanning aspect. Please help, the family just dropped the pictures off last night and the funeral is tomorrow.

IDVD will import from IPhoto with no problem and, you could create your slideshow from there.
It will only allow you to add one transition but, it sounds as if you are lacking in the time area, so it might be a good option for you really. I have never created any of my slideshows with IMovie , only FCE. in fact I have never even launched IMovie but, if working with stills in IMovie is even a reflection of how it is in FCE. then IDVD would be your best option in my opinion. to many things can go wrong such as fluttery images giving you bad playback, and you'll not have the time to gaussian blur out you problems.
You could always use Photo to Movie http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
It's fast and easy to use and, will allow you a lot more transition. it will allow you to import into IDVD.
The down side of FTM would be the render time depending on your machine.
Best of luck

Please help - FCP won't export using DVCPro HD (or any HD) settings.

Please help. I'm under a tight deadline to deliver.
The native setting for both the project and footage is DVCPro HD 720p60 but when I export with this setting, or any other HD setting, whether to a Quicktime Movie or using Quicktime Conversion, the resulting image has thick black lines on both sides of the screen and in the middle.
I have Quicktime Pro and have already reinstalled FCP to make sure I have all the components. But it's still not working.
Please - any advice would help.
Thanks.

Well, have you done the usual things for when FCP doesn't act right?
#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.pistolerapost2.com/fcprescue and run it.
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Please help. ipod will not show up and i have tried everything

i got my ipod two days ago. ipod nano 4gb.
when i plug it into my computer it comes up with 'do not disconnect' and occasionally a small circle icon in the top left-hand corner. the computer recognises that there is a 'mass storage device' connected, but the ipod doesnt appear in itunes or my computer.
when i unplug the ipod it displays the apple symbol and then goes to the language selection menu. after i disconnect it i also get a message saying that the file could not be saved to the drive because it was interrupeted or something like that and i should try storing it somewhere else.
so thinking that maybe this was it being updated, i let it plugged in all day while i was at school because surely that would be plenty of time for anything to load onto it. But when i got home today it did the same thing.
I have two computers and the same thing happens on both.
I have tried it using my sisters usb cable, still nothing works.
Any ideas? Oh on one of my computers it doesnt let me uninstall itunes as well.
And when I try to open the updater to restore the ipod it freezes the application and i have to do controlaltdelete and close it.
I am SO angry about it right now.
Since i only bought it a few days ago do you think i could get a repleacement from the store where i got it or will i have to go all the way through apple.
I havnt been able to use it once and it is making me very frustrated, please help me if you have any ideas.

Sally,
OK since you using 2 computers, we will first focus on the one that will not uninstall iTunes, afterwareds we will get the ipod working on one PC first.
On the PC that will not uninstall iTUnes, goto control panel>add and remove and try if you can to uninstall iTUnes AND quicktime. Then go here and roll down to "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
Once done disable any antivirus or security programs, then goto apple.com to download and install the latest iTUnes.
Also on BOTH pcs make sure you have "ipod updater 06-28-2006" you can download and install it here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Once iTunes is properly installed on this PC, you need to only connect your nano to the main PC you use for now so we can get it working, then we'll focus on the other PC if needed

Please help - AppleWorks won't open. The icon just bounces in the Dock.

I have been writing and saving all day on Appleworks. Now when I want to open up an Appleworks file, it won't open up. I tried clicking it from an icon on my desktop, clicking a file from my Recent Items list, and getting one from my hard drive. Nothing opens up. I tried turning off my computer and restarting it and it still will not open any Appleworks file. The Appleworks icon at the bottom bar of my computer just bounces up and down, but nothing opens up. I am able to open my iWorks Pages files without any problem. The bad thing is that I need to get my saved Appleworks files and edit them. Please help... Thanks in advance, Teachermom99

When an application stops working as it should, it's likely due to corrupt preferences. You can follow the steps in this user tip or use the reset function of Dale Gillard's Sidekick.

Please Help--It Won't Work At All!!!

Today when I was using my iPod, the battery went completely down, to the point where I had to charge it. I plugged it into the computer, and iTunes didn't come up. So I took the USB cable out and plugged it back in. Still didn't work, so I manually brought iTunes up. My iPod is all black, and nothing works. On iTunes, it doesn't give me the option to sync my iPod. The battery is totally drained, so I can't toggle it or reset. Can someone please help me??!!??!!

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Please Help me, How to cut image ?

I have a image (jpg file). The image is animal, and the image contain 2 basic colours (white is background, black describe animal). I want to cut background around animal
Please Help me ???
Please source code .??? Example??

well it depends what you want to do with this- do you just want to use the black part without a whit contour?
however if you want to have 2 colors PLEASE save as GIF or as PNG and not as JPG - JPG tends to blur the image a little so your mask will get screwed up with JPG
the easiest way for me is to do this job in photoshop and save as Tiff then load it with Javax.ImageIO so transparency is kept

Please help, CS3 won't run with 10.5.2! Please!

Installed 10.5.2 on my g5 dual 2.5 w 4.5 gigs ram (NOT) intel. Now my AE projects won't run. One started to and then quit. This is major for me. Involves dozens of projects. Please help.

Yes, my powerbook is also trouble-free.
But it's just too slow to run AE on.
And yes, yes, I did repair permissions. I did everything including a "safe" starup, repair permissions many many times, etc. etc. etc.
I'm beginning to think the problem with AE was with non-ae plugins. But then why did automator and software update cease to work?????

LR won't show images from external hard drive now.

I have LR 5. I updated in March from LR3. I just purchased a second external hard drive to start using for my images after filling up my first. I just tried to go back to external hard drive #1 to look at images from last month, and I can't pull them in to lightroom for some reason. When using external hard drive #1 after updating to lr5, I always had to go to Edit >Open Recent to open a previous catalog to access my images. I think this has something to do with it, because there aren't any other catalog options in LR5 when I switch from external hard drive #2 back to external hard drive #1. I need those images pronto to finish projects!!! Please help and thank you!

This is relevant portion of the support document with a bit of editing for clarity.
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
Using a Mac click the icon to open iTunes and immediately press and continue to hold down the Option key.
You should see the following screen:
If iTunes opens normally, close it and try again.
Once you've got that dialog you have two options. If your previous iTunes library database is stored on the external drive use Choose Library to browse to it and open it. If you only have the media folder on the drive then use the Create Library option to create a new iTunes library at /iTunes on the external, move the media folder to /iTunes/iTunes Media and then add it to your new empty library.

Please help..english subtitles show up on i pod screen?

Is there an option of english subtitles on downloaded movies? and do subtitles show up on the i pod screen? What about with sing along music videos, do they have subtitles showing up on the ipod screen? Please help...

Do you have a 5th generation Video iPod? If so, you are posting in the wrong forum. iPod with Color Display is an older model that does not support video.

Please help!! No "still image" button option... There last night - now GONE. ?!?!

Hello!
Thank you in advance for anyone/everyone who answers this questions. I need your help!
(The most frustrating thing about this - is that it was working easily and perfectly last night with not even a hiccup. argh.
So:
I am putting two movies in one iDVD project and then I'm going to burn on a DL DVD.
The first movie is in and all of the Chapter Markers imported beautifully with the titles, etc..., BUT....last night I was able to select the Motion Button - Change it to a STILL IMAGE and then drop in my own Still Image. It was looking great!
Today, I can't.
I select the Motion Button and the only "Button Info" Menu it gives me is one that has Font control, Size control, Label, and Transitions. NO "Still Image" box to check...no box to click and drag my image into - nothing. argh again!
On the map page, if I select the "chapter/scene selection" - all it say is "Loop Movie" and gives me a box to check or uncheck.
Help! Help! Help!
I feel like I'm losing my mind. I've gone thru and checked to see if there's anything I could've changed, but can't think of anything.
Of course, I'm on a tight deadline, so please help.
Thank you! Thank you!!

I figured it out!!!
It seems to be a glitch in the "Center Stage" theme.
I switched to the Revolution Theme, made all of my adjustments, then switched back to Center Stage and it worked!!
Hilarious, too, because I've been looking for an answer for a couple of hours and right when I sat down at the computer again to try my "plan" - the NEXT post I opened - confirmed it for me! Woooohoooo!

Please help: iTunes won't import whole songs!

I have put my old hard drive (which contained all of my music) into my new computer, and added all the tracks into iTunes on the new computer. Unfortunately, some of the tracks cut off prematurely, even though the track shows the correct time (it just goes right to the next track instead of running completely through). Short of manually importing each CD back into iTunes, I'm not sure what to do. Can anyone please help? Thanks!

Hi thanks. I have try'd installing an older version off a disk that i've got but it get a message telling me it is not possible to install an older version. Will i have to remove the current one 1st? an if so how do i do it like i said i'm a bit off a novice? do i just drag it in to the trash?
Thanks

Firefox won't open localhost files, it downloads the file instead and then won't show images, IE9 localhost works fine.

I have installed XAMPP to preview web pages locally. Everything works fine in IE9 but not in Firefox. When I load a localhost page Firefox downloads the file, then displays the downloaded file without showing images within the page.
So, in IE9 the address bar looks like this (correctly): http://localhost/my_sites/WebMaestro/Exercises/Lesson8/changeImage.html
In Firefox the address bar looks like this: file:///C:/Users/Rog/AppData/Local/Temp/changeImage-3.html

Are you using a Firefox extension like '''Auto Save Document ''' ? If you are using then you need to disable it. The documents are stored as html-text only (no embedded objects like pictures etc.) As a result the images don't appear on browser.
