Quicktime error -2048 when i try to open a video

hello, i have a bunch of different types of videos that i downloaded from limewire. in order for me to put those on my ipod, i need to open quicktime and go to file> open file and when i do that, i click one of my videos that are MPEG or MPG i try to open it but a little sign pops up and says
error -2048: the file is not a movie file how can i turn my video files into movie files? then how do i put them on my ipod after that? please help me

download VLC media player, it should be able to play files that quicktime cannot and with more fetures than quicktime pro for FREE (beleve it or not)!

you mentioned these files were downloaded from limewire, it is possible that they are simply currupt, limewire files (especially when they are not completely finished downloading) may not open. When they are 100% complete they may play no problem even if you are getting -2048 when they are downloading.

Why do i now get an error message when i try to open itunes, (error message 7, wndows error 999, saying itunes was not properly installed, please re-install, which i have, when everything had been working correctly?

Often that will indicate that one of the related software components for iTunes (most commonly Apple Application Support) is damaged. If that what is afoot, the following document may be of assistance.

Hi,
As mentioned in ths article below, run for Office 365 products on to a Remote Desktop Session Host server is not supported. You can install Office products for Office 365 to a virtual desktop, but the virtual desktop must be assigned to a single user.

I updated my itunes to 11 and found out my phone and ipod were not compatible. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 10.7 but now I get an error message when I try to open itunes saying "the file cannot be read because it was created by a newer verison" What do I do?

Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd

Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry.

Error Message regarding Facetime: I am getting this error message when I try to open Facetime on my iMac desktop "This beta version of FaceTime has expired." What does it mean? How do I get it to work again?

I am getting this error message when I try to open Facetime on my iMac desktop "This beta version of FaceTime has expired." What does it mean? How do I get it to work again?

The Beta version of Facetime is a free test/trial version that Apple placed on some computers in the past. It has expired -- to get a working Facetime version back you must go to the App store and purchase "Facetime for Mac" which will cost you 99 cents.

I just did the recent upgrade and now I keep getting an error message when I try to open a book on my Kindle app, I have deregistered the app and reloaded and the same thing happens, does anyone know how to fix?

You are seeing the message because the new AirPort Extreme has some specific System Requirements:
http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/specs/
Setup and Administration
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
AirPort Utility 5.6.1 in Snow Leopard may or may not work correctly with the new Extreme for all functions. As long as things are working OK for now, you can probably leave them "as is" and wait for another Mavericks update to fix some issues before you "upgrade".
If you have an iPhone or iPad, you could use that to administer any settings changes on the new Extreme.

Can you open up your Real Player and tell me what version you have? I think Real Player 15.0.6 is supposed to fix this problem. There was a conflict between Real Player and Flash this whole summer that broke Flash videos. Real Player released a update that might help in your case.
If that doesn't help, I think a addon might be to blame here. So do this:
<br> '''Firefox button <img src=https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/images/2012-03-27-09-22-48-1204f1.png> > Help > Troubleshooting Information'''
<br> (or '''Tools > Help > Troubleshooting Information''')
Then click the "Copy all to clipboard" button then paste it here. It will tell us what addons you have installed and I can see which one might be causing problems.

I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader. The upgrades indicate they were successful but I still get an error message when I try to open I-Photo telling me I need to prepare the library

I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader.
But have you run the the iPhoto Library upgrader? It is installed in Applications > Utilities. Launch it and direct it to your iPhoto library.
Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from?
The upgrader is only necessary, if you have been running iPhoto7.1.2 or earlier.

If your version isn't 10.0.6 or later it won't work correctly on Mavericks.
