Preferred Media Player in Safari? No Dowload This File Button on Real Playe

Preferred Media Player in Safari? No Dowload This File Button on Real Player?
Dear Maccies, after years of pain with MS-Windows I recently changed (convcerted?) to OS X. Brought my Real Player with me. Now I have some issues, viewing video files on Safari:
- How can I tell Safari, that I wish RealPlayer to be used for viewing files (where do I find thsi setting?)
- How to tel RealPlayer 11 that I want my "Donwload This File" Button back? (Where to find this settin?)
Please help! Thank you. Best wishes.

Peter, you need to use Flip4Mac.

  • Changing preferred media player in Adobe Reader 8.1.2

    Hi,
    I'm trying to change my preferred media player in the Preferences but the drop down list only contains QT and Flash. Anyway to add another player to the list? My problem is that QT won't play an .avi movie that I want to embed in my PDF file.
    Thanks.

    Locate Flip4Mac. That ill allow QT to play AVI,WMV, WMA files. Also go into Qt preferences from system Preferences, and locate the button MIME Types. Click on that button and see if listing for AVI if so check it.

  • My Xtreamer media player won't read srt sub files downloaded from my iMac and stored in a 1Tb seagate external disk. However, the Xtreamer Elvira media player will read all the .avi files I have loaded in the external disk. Any ideas?

    I am experiencing the same issue with a new external DVD burner, a Sony DRX-840U. When I load a CD into this external drive it appears in iTunes but when you go to import or play the CD iTunes indicates playing or importing for each individual track for just a moment. The end result is that nothing is ever imported or played. I am experiencing this on two different systems. One a notebook running Win2K and the other a desktop running XPpro. If I use the internal DVD drives on either of these systems everything work just fine. Yet I am able to use this new external DVD drive with every other application. For example Window Media Player has no problem playing or importing the same CD that iTunes fails on. The last person indicated that if one set the DVD drive in question to be the drive of choice under preferences>advanced>burning that all was ok. I my case this Sony external drive is the drive listed as the drive of choice for burning yet the issue still exists.
    As this appears to be an issue that others are also experiencing help from Apple Tech Support would be greatly appreciated.

  • TS1702 trying to download mp3 get: Safari cannot download this file

    I am trying to download MP3  even tried AAC I receive error Safari cannot download this file..  I am clueless in how to do this thank you Linda

    You can't download music via Safari. If you are trying to get music into the Music app then you will either need to buy/download them via the iTunes store app, or download them on your computer and sync them. If you are using a third-party music app then does it have its own browser function for downloading music, or does it only support copying via a computer's iTunes ?

  • "Safari cannot download this file" when I tried dl a .mobileconfig file

    Hi,
    I have been asked to research deployment of configuration to Ipod touch to determine if our clients will be able to use these devices on our secure network. According to the Enterprise Deployment Guide I should be able to send the Ipod Touch a .mobileconfig file:(http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Enterprise_DeploymentGuide.pdf)
    But I'm getting the message "Safari cannot download this file" when I try to download the .mobileconfig file from our internal http portal.
    Any advice you have would be much appreciated. Thank you,
    M

    Hi M,
    There may be an issue with the website or the file, try emailing the profile to an account setup on the iPod touch.
    If the issue persists, try resetting or restoring the iPod touch.
    You can reset the iPod by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through the restore process.

  • I want to start a new movie but iMovie is hung looking for an old file and says:"Without this file, the movie cannot play properly."

    Hello!
    I recently upgraded to Lion. Every time I start up iMovie, it asks if I want to go ahead and generate thumbnails. I say OK, then it alerts me that it cannot file the file IMG_0073.MOV. Then it says "Without this file, the movie cannot play properly." It gives me the option to either cancel or search for the movie.
    I don't have the old file it's looking for. I simply want to start a fresh movie with new material but cannot get past this hump. Based on the little research I have done, some people experienced this problem because the files were in aperture at some point, which was the case for me before when I used iMovie. I have since moved forward only with iPhoto but perhaps it's hung on an old file format?
    I tried taking another old movie and renamed it IMG_0073.mov to see if I could simply select it, give it what it wants and move on but it won't let me select the file for some reason. I also tried removing iMovie and downloading a fresh version but that didn't work either. My BF tried removing pfiles (I think that's what it's called? but again no luck)
    Please help! I must get this assignment done for a class!

  • "Searching for movie data... Without this file the movie cannot play..."

    I have been deleting old projects from my hard drive (macbook pro) and my external hard drive.
    Now, when I go into iMovie '09 to work on another project, the following warnings keep popping up on the screen:
    "Searching for movie data"
    and
    "Without this file, the movie cannot play properly."
    I click "cancel" but they keep popping up, prohibiting me from doing anything else in imovie.
    If anybody has a clue how I can get rid of these warnings, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Hank

    Ive been getting the same crap. Ive since deleted all of my imovie projects. It seems to have the problem when I am trying to pull up the videos in the iPhoto library. My particular file it is getting hung up on was used once in Sound Track Pro, but is not there anymore. Not sure if that rings a bell with you at all.

  • Windows Media Player plugin & Safari - Quicktime opens up???

    Everytime I'm on a website and I click on a video clip that is a windows media player video file (wmv), the file opens up with the quicktime plug in - and the whole wmv won't play. I have to download the clip to see the whole thing in my Windows Media Player.
    How do I set up Safari so it will play wmv clips with a windows media player plug in so I don't have to download a bunch of video clips that I just wanted to see on a website.

    This is what you need flip4mac. Just go to the link and download it.

  • Windows Media Player in Safari - Rosetta

    There have been some videos embedded in web-sites that I have not been able to view with Safari. They are Windows Media videos that most often I have been able to access with Flip4Mac - a plug-in that translates the .wmv into QuickTime.
    I now find that certain Windows videos can only be viewed when I disable Flip4Mac and go back to using Windows Media Player v. 9. However in order to do that, I have to use Safari in its Rosetta mode.
    I've figured out how to do this. It's quite easy really. In case anyone is wondering: Go to Applications and Control Click on the Safari icon there. Open Get Information and check the Rosetta option. Re-start your computer and voilá - the video can now be rendered correctly. (Remember to disable Flip4Mac via System Preferences first.)
    OK - but why is all this necessary? Can someone explain why doing this actually works, and how come some Windows media-made video clips are fine with the Flip4Mac conversion to QuickTime whereas others require this Safari Rosetta - WMP v.9 procedure? Moreover, besides trial and error, is there a way of knowing which method to use, when I see a link to a Windows Media video link in a web-site?
    Thanks in advance,
    ~ john

    Just a follow-up. Since learning about how to run Safari in Rosetta mode - so simple really, just ctrl click on the Safari icon in the Application folder, Get Info, and as pointed out, check and de-select the Rosetta option as needed. I just want to add, that if some of you are also finding it difficult to run some Windows videos, ie .wmv - with Safari and Intel Macs, in addition to changing Safari to Roseta mode, you also need to de-select the Flip4Mac option from Systems Preferences to run those videos. Only then will Windows Media Player launch (using Rosetta Safari) and play the .wmv clips that are embedded in the webpage - and currently not viewable with Flip4Mac.
    It's worked for me on countless sites I was having difficulty with before.
    Thanks everyone.

  • Windows Media Player on Safari 3.0.4 on Vista

    When I try to access Windows Media player on a site that has video clips in that format using Safari under Vista, I get a message saying that "Windows Media Player could not be found". Of course, the player works under IE7.
    Any suggestions on how to make Safari recognize WMP?

    Surprisingly, Windows Media Player doesn't seem to offer a plug-in for Firefox (which I believe is the same plug-in architecture used by Safari).
    Some enterprising developers have created this though:

  • Windows media player with safari for windows

    Hi everyone
    just a little problem of mine...
    safari seems unable to detect windows media player. I get a message about 'content of MIME type application/x-mplayer2' when I safari tries to use media player. I tried installing the plugin on this page http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html which didn't seem to work. I don't know if this is a mistake but the file name suggests the plugin is for firefox...
    i have also tried installing quicktime and realplayer with no effect
    help appreciated; thank you in advance!

    Hi on_safari,
    I don't know if this is a mistake but the file name suggests the plugin is for firefox...
    Safari and Firefox (and other browsers) use the same interface for handling plug-ins so Safari should be able to use it nonetheless.
    I tried installing the plugin on this page http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html which didn't seem to work.
    Can you describe in more detail what you mean? What did you try and what happened? Were any error messages generated?
