QT7.1 Intel Mac and .AVI problems

i Downloaded a .AVI file and cant watch it. i read in a mac magazine i need DviX to watch it with. i DL that and Divx Doctor 2.
the doctor converted the AVI in to some other format. now i can hear the sound. but all i get is a white screen in QT. i get a pop up saying i am missing some components and go online to get them. but Which components are missing?!
for future DLs shouldi stick to MPEG formats to save hasstle?
anyone help?

No it didn't do the job. Not even close - so I'll open this one up again. It's hardly news that VideoLan is agnostic on these issues - all of us Mac people have defaulted to that player for years whenever QT has had compatibility problems - even with final public release codecs installed to enable QT to function.
Moving to another player platform is hardly a long-term solution for whatever Apple is attempting to integrate into the 7.1 - 7.1.1 series of their QT player. 7.1 was faulty; 7.1.1 doesn't sound anymore agreeable.

  • Caveman with club defeats ALL .mac and idisk problems!

    Well, I'm pretty proud of myself. Like many others after upgrading to Leopard, had myriad .mac and idisk problems including, but not limited to: couldn't mount idisk on desktop, can't enable syncing of .mac on various computers, couldn't register a computer. I tried the log out, log in option in .mac. Also tried removing the syncservices folder from Home>Library>Application Support folder. I also tried reinstalling the system from a download of 10.5.1 udpate, repairing permissions, and every other trick I read about on the discussion forum. The ultimate solution for me? Open Keychain Access application in the Application>Utilities folder, show all the items and delete every item with '.mac' in it! Restarted computer, now idisk mounts fine, login to .mac works fine, and syncing works perfectly and I can register the previously unregisterable computer. While I have no logical explanation for this, because I don't understand enough about the Keychains to say why it worked, it clearly fixed the problem. Syncing has happened fine, using idisk is fine and all is well! Oh yes, I had a backup of my computer to an external drive before proceeding with my various interventions. Best of luck and don't be afraid to swing your caveman club wildly in the dark... you just might hit something worthwhile

    I'm having exactly ONE of the problems Joshua lists here ... my iDisk will not mount to my desktop. All else works fine with my iDisk.
    I don't see any responses to the original post. Help anyone?

  • Problems with Safari, Acrobat, Intel Macs, and Life Cycle Form Mgr.

    Here is my problem:
    A Mac user using 10.4.10, with Acrobat Standard Ed v.7.0.9 installed,
    is having to approve purchase forms through Adober Life Cycle Form Manager
    through Safari 2.0.4. When trying to approve the PDF forms, it tells her
    she needs to have Acrobat v.7 installed, and only shows a white page.
    Went back and launched Acrobat 7.0.9, and did the "Detect and Repair"
    setting to verify the Adobe PDFViewer plugin was installed.
    Said it was, checked the Library/Internet Plugins folder and it was.
    Launched Safari, Safari's list of plug-ins does not show it as being installed.
    Trashed the Safari .plist file, relaunched Safari, same thing.
    Read on the Apple site that people were experiencing similar issues,
    Read on Adobe's site that for Intel Macs, should be using v. 8.01.
    Downloaded the 8.01 Acrobat Reader and installed it.
    re-launched Safari, success, it says the plugin, v.8.01 is installed.
    Go back to Adobe Life Cycle Forms Manager, go to view a PDF,
    at 100% screen size, PDF shows correctly. Zoom in on details,
    PDF goes blank, will not show details. Zoom back out,
    PDF goes white page, no info displayed.
    My Questions:
    1. is it an issue with Adobe Life Cycle Forms Manager and Safari on Intel Macs?
    2. Is there a way to get a proper plug in for Safari, so that Acrobat will read the PDFs
    instead of the default Preview?
    thanks in Advance

    anybody running ALCFM and Acrobat 8 with an Intel Mac,

  • Using MS UAM with Intel Macs and Tiger (10.4.6+)

    I oversee 50 macs in a server environment. The servers are windows server 2003. About 40 of the macs are able to change their network password via the MS UAM. The remaining macs are intel 10.4.6 and above or intel leopard machines.
    Goal: The ability of intel mac users running 10.4.6 and above (leo too) to change their network password.
    Let me be clear about the problem.
    I have no problem connecting to any share / volume on any server. All file sharing is working properly. The only problem I have is that my users cannot change their password that the network requires for authentication. So, when the password expires, they have to go to a windows machine or use a non-Intel Mac. (I am not 100% sure, but I think this is also happening on 10.4.6+ PPC Mac's...correct me if I'm wrong)
    Searching for a solution to this problem was unsuccessful. I found that there is no easy way to get the mac os to use the MS UAM instead of the OS X standard UAM's.
    I came across a couple of articles from 2006 (two years ago) that stated there was no fix for this problem, but that apple was working on it. I am starting this thread to renew the subject matter. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem yet? Has Apple stated awareness that the problem exists? Has Apple stated that a fix is in the works?
    Please HELP!!!

    We have the same problem here --- a high school of mostly Mac clients and only Window Servers.
    Hate to think that everyone has to be funneled to an older Mac or a PC in order to do password changes.
    I searched <http://www.mactopia.com> about this only to be further 'scared' by what William Smith of Microsoft says in <http://www.officeformac.com/.ee9b2bd>:
    -----You should really consider using some third party software. Mac OS X 10.4
    -----and higher use AFP 3.2, which has some incompatibilities with AFP 2.2.
    -----Microsoft is not planning to update Windows Server with AFP 3.2 but
    -----will instead remove File Services for Macintosh altogether after Windows Server 2003.
    -----Look into Group Logic's ExtremeZ-IP http://www.grouplogic.com or
    -----Thursby's Dave or ADmitMac http://www.thursby.com.
    -----Hope this helps!
    -----bill
    ----William M. Smith, Microsoft Interop MVP - Mac/Windows
    Note the: 'will instead remove File Services for Macintosh altogether after WindowsServer 2003.'
    That will make things even worse for those of us with Mac clients and Window Servers.

  • Intel Macs and QuickTime dowmgrade 7.1.3 to 7.1.2

    Since the last update of QuickTime I can't export any QuickTime out of Flash 8 Pro and can't work with 7.1.2 QuickTime-files in Adobe After Effects 7 Pro.
    I need help to downgrade the QuickTime Version 7.1.3 to 7.1.2. All the re-installing tips for Mac failed cause it is an Intel iMac and nothing helped.
    I haven't enough time for a new installation of the OS so I need another way to downgrade.
    What's up with a re-installer for Intel Macs can somebody help me?

    Hi,
    I experience kind of the same thing.
    what I did was:
    1-quit out of the browser.
    2-go to a your applications folder and control-click on the browser app bundle.
    3-in the context menu that appears select get info.
    4-under the general heading of the info dialog select "open using rosetta"
    5-close the info dialog box.
    and after I installed shockwave
    and major of my problems were solved

  • Intel Mac and FCP

    I have a lab full of macs. All g5 dual 2.5s. We are running OS 10.4.9, and FCP 5.1.4. They run perfectly. No problems.
    A month ago I replaced two of these edit stations with two Intel Mac Pro dual 2.6, dual core Macs w/ 4gb of ram. They are running 10.4.9, and FCP 5.1.4 as well, but FCP freezes up constantly on these. I have run the 10.4.9 combo update on both. Same problem. Any ideas? Anyone run into this one as well?

    Wondering if there might be a problem with your RAM. Run hardware tests and if possible, Techtool. Also, try editing with some media on your internal drive with graids disconnected. I've had a lot of problems with various firewire drives (although I worked with a multitude of firewire drives for many years without serious problems). Worth a shot to try and isolate the problem.
    And although you said you were working in SD, you didn't say what format. DV? If so, do you have a deck and/or converter connected to your computers?

  • Intel Macs and .exe files

    I have a modem I got from Verizon for use with Verizon DSL. A check at the site of the modem's manufacturer reveals that this modem was made exclusively for Verizon and there are no links to support, etc., for the modem at the manufacturer's website (Westell Versalink 327).
    On the DSLReports site, I learned that newer software for my modem is available and that I ought to install it. Of course, it is available only as a .exe file, which I have downloaded to my Mac.
    My wife has an Intel Mac. We have never used it in anything but its Mac mode and I am clueless as to whether it is possible, without buying and installing Windows Whatever on that computer, to boot it up in the "other" system, attach the router modem, and run that .exe file and update the software on the modem?
    Is there any easy way to go about this or should I just forget about updating the modem software???
    Thanks,
    Bob

    If the exe file is only a windows self-extracting zip archive (which is not uncommon), then the free Unarchiver (http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html) will open it on your Mac.
    Otherwise, there are other solutions without the purchase of a Windows license, you can run many windows programs with Crossover (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/) which does not require you to install windows, but still costs $59.99.
    I guess the easiest way is just ask a friend who has Windows.

  • Clearing mac and DNS problems

    Hi there,
    let me know if this should be asked in a different community and ill repost it.
    I have just changed my website host and have repointed my DNS to new host. However my macbook pro keeps taking me to the old host.
    I have tried other computers and they all seem to go to new host , so it appears my mac is the problem.
    I have tried clearing cache , history and cookies in the hope it would fix the problem but it hasnt.
    What am i overlooking??????
    Im not IT smart so please reply in simple language .
    Any advice appreciated.
    thanks
    CG

    If you moved your domain from one hosting service to a different one, and changed the the nameservers listing for your domain - which is what I think you're saying - then the "problem" really lies outside of your MacBook.
    Changes to DNS entries, like the nameservers, can take anywhere from minutes to as long as a couple of days to propagate through the DNS system. How fast that change will show up for your ISP depends on how often their DNS servers update their caches and how often the hosting service updates their DNS entires to the DNS servers they are linked to. (Typically, hosting services are linked to DNS servers that update rather frequently - no less than once an hour.)  The other computers you used may be hooked to different DNS servers that get updated more frequently than the one your MacBook is using.
    If you know the IP address of the new hosting site, you can plug that into the address bar of your browser and it should get you to the new host, no problem. Using a URL is going to rely on updated DNS information making through the DNS system.
    HTH,

  • White 20 inch intel mac osx install problem

    I'm trying to reinstall OSX Lion onto an older, 2.16 GHZ, 20 inch intel Mac. I had to reinitialize the hard drive before the install. When I try to perform the install it tells me that "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer.  The disk was reinitialized using Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I have noticed, however, that when I select the hardrive (not the partition) in Disk Utility that the Volume Format is MS-DOS (FAT).
    Any suggestions or workarounds would be appreciated.
    Gary

    The partition should be GUID and the Hard Drive should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    BTW it's an iMac.

  • Intel Mac and ARD 2.2

    I have followed the instructions on this site and gotten the ARD 2.2 admin to work on my Mac Mini so I can log into and control other Macs on my network, but I can not get the client side to work (which is what I really need).
    In other words, how can my G3 powerbook (with ARD 2.2) get into my Intel Mac Mini? What settings are essential? Right now I have my sharing-Apple Remote Desktop off (I believe per the instructions for getting the admin to work)?

    Solved. Needed to turn Remote Access back on in Sytem Prefs / Accounts

  • Replaced HDD on intel mac and it wont boot

    Hi , My mom bought an Intel mac a couple years ago and it had a harddrive failure , instead of taking it back on warraty she put it in the closet.
    So I thought I'd put a new drive in it and shed be happy.. so I bought a seagate 2 TB drive in it , but it wont boot , it just goes to a folder and question mark.. I cant seem to find a boot menu anywhere .I've tried all of the ways to get to the boot menu but nothing seems to work. I inserted the osx disc one and it accepted it but now wont eject it.. I'm just a bit frustrated ,. anyone have any advice ,
                                                                                                       Thanks

    You must first prep the drive then install OS X.
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Complete the OS X installation.

  • Intel Mac Mini Drawing Problems

    I have an Intel Mac Mini and whenever it performs full screen operations (like iTunes full-screen visual effects or an iPhoto slide show), when it comes back, all my window's shadows are messed up. Anyone have any idea why this happens or how to fix it?
    Intel Mac Mini Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I think I have a way to reproduce this. Start a third-party app that adds an item to the menu bar (e.g., Adium or Butler) and run an application which uses OpenGL to draw on screen (e.g., some full-screen effects in iTunes or iPhoto, Blender, Q, etc.). After OpenGL is used, the window ghosting will appear around most windows (and sometimes in other places on screen).
    This will not happen if the third party app that places an item in the menu bar is not running.
    The question now is, how do I fix it?

  • ICal syncing with mac and iphone problem - duplicating all alarms.

    I have a mobile me account linked to my office mac, my home mac and my iPhone and my wife's iphone. I have been using this to sync all my contacts and calendar for 18 months with no problems until just after christmas. It suddenly duplicated all my contacts and all my iCal alarms. To solve it I had to use time machine to take my ical and address book back a few days and then force everything to update from that machine.
    This I thought solved it but now three weeks later it has duplicated all my alarms again. Why is this happening and how do I stop it? It does not inspire confidence in this system if it randomly changes things. How do I know it will not suddenly delete something? It is also very frustrating and time consuming to reset all the data back a few days.
    Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    The synchronization between iCal, MobileMe, and iPhone is one of the biggest embarrassments and disgraces Apple has yet to deal with.
    For over a year, I have been battling duplicates with little success. Add to all this MS Entourage, which I had to install last year because Mac Mail doesn't play nicely with Exchange server. (My company uses Exchange for our mail, etc.) To be clear, the duplicate problem existed prior to the addition of Entourage 2008. So you are out of luck, Koolaide Fans; you can't point the finger at MS in this case.
    After 6 months of struggling and fighting with Entourage (and because there is no native version of MS Project or Visio for Mac) I finally had to install VM Ware with Windows 7, MS Office 2007, Visio, Project, etc. The MS apps work perfectly under the Windows 7 session. So, I my functionality for business has been restored. However, I am left wondering why I have a Mac if it can't provide me the functionality I need for such basic things as Email, calendars, contacts, and tasks. I am to the point where I am basically doing everything in the VMWare session under Windows.
    I am very pleased with my Mac's ability to do video editing, graphics, and sound using Adobe products. But again, I work in mainstream corporate America where 90% of the marketshare is still PC/Windows.
    In the end, I am hoping someone from Apple can come forward soon and say "This is EXACTLY how you need to configure your Entourage/iCal/MobileMe/iPhone so that you aren't crippled by duplicates and other nonsense...." It really is ridiculous.
