Problems with downloading software.

I have just got an Mac and wanted to download software so that I am able to game online. When I have finished downloading the software an error message appears saying 'Unable to play video'. I'm obvisouly a new user and need some advice to what I need to do to be able to play games and download software properly? Please elp if possible.

Hello Ryane12!
It seems like you are downloading a video that Quicktime can't play without additional codecs (don't worry about the word "codecs" for now).
Maybe you could post a link to the game you want to download?
Than more people could help you with more specific instructions.
Welcome to the Mac Community, though,
Ludwig

  • Problem with Download! on N78

    I'm having a problem with Download! on my N78 (sw v. 12.046). I can open Download but it freezes, and I also can't download any applications. When Download! freezes, my only option to shut it down is to boot the phone..I can switch to other open applications but Download! is freezed. This is giving me hard time, can't install any applications. Any help or ideas? Anyone else having this problem?

    Backup your data, and try doing a soft reset. *#7370#, (use this code at your own risk, since it deletes some important data's in your phone memory, including the data of installed applications on phone memory - means if you installed a java file to your card, it stores some data in your phone memory which will be deleted when you soft reset. So you will have to reinstall that software)

     then
    translation:
    For a better connection please insert the usb-cable directly in to the computer and not trough a usb-hub or -keybord or a dockingstation of a laptop.
    Nokia Software Updater has tried downloading the software, but this is failed 4 times.
    Its posible that it can be caused by a bad, slow or instable internet connection.
    This failure can also occur because we have maybe a problem with our servers.
    try later again
    i tried it on 2 PCs one with vista and one with XP plz help me

  • Problem with downloading FlashBuilder 4.6

    Hi, I have a problem with downloading a FlashBuilder 4.6 I use this locations http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/thankyou_2.0.cfm?product=flash_builder&loc=en_us
    Every time it starts to download and stops at different time saying:
    Downloading Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 English Mac
    FlashBuilder_4_6_LS10.dmg ( file 1 of 1 )Cancelled Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 English Mac
    Restart the download.
    what the deal. I tried it with different browsers and got same result every time.

    I know TTempest already picked your solution, but I think there's some misunderstanding of what the actual issue is, or at least there appears to be as more people continue to have this problem, myself included.
    What happens is, whether I download the entire update or just the smaller one, I cannot actually update Firefox, as it I get a pop-up telling me that it's "connecting to the update server", but it never connects. I have tried several times and it always gets stuck in the same spot. On one occasion, I left it to try to connect for about 6 hours... no dice. The problem isn't download speed, it's that there's no downloading going on whatsoever. There's no firewall, virus software, etc. Nothing like that. I have no problem downloading or installing anything else, just this Firefox update. I'm on a Mac mini with OS 10.6.5. Thanks!

  • Problem with downloading 2007 formats

    I have a problem with downloading 2007 format files in my application. We can upload the 2007 formats without any problem. But, When we try to download them, we are receiving a 'Page cannot be displayed' error.
    When we add the corresponding MIME-TYPES into IIS(Version 6.0) of the system(Test Environment), the problem got resolved. But there was a constraint to add the MIME-TYPES in the Production Box.
    Can you please provide any alternate solution using CF code. I am pasting my sample code that my system is using for this.

    For CF to set the MIME type for those files, it would have to be configured as a handler for those file extensions. By default, CF doesn't process requests for files other than .cfm, .cfc, etc.
    You could write a download application that uses CFCONTENT to push files to the client, but the user would have to request your CF page, which might have a URL like this:
    http://yourserver/download.cfm?file=myfile.docx
    Or, you could map those file extensions to CF, but that would be a bad idea for several reasons. Even if it wasn't a bad idea, it would be harder to change on the server than the MIME types in IIS.
    Frankly, you should fix this the right way - by having the server administrator add the correct MIME types.
