Quicktime won't open after installing windows media player

i just added media player, and quick time will not play anything. anybody else have this problem, and any suggestions out there? thank you.

Did you repair permissions & restart after the installation? If so, then try Flip4Mac and/or VLC media player instead of Windows Media Player.
Don't forget to repair permissions afterward the installation(s).

Firefox 21 won't open mp3s in Windows Media Player

I have set the program to file type option to both "windows media player" and "ask" and Firefox still opens the mp3 in a generic player in a new tab. MP3s played in the Windows Media Player popup window (after downloading) fine in the last version of Firefox 20.X. I've tried disabling the Microsoft WMP plugin (the only way to stop them from opening in a new tab using Quicktime was to disable the Quicktime plugin).
The MP3 MIME settings in Quicktime have all been unchecked and the Windows extension settings all are set to Windows Media Player as the default player for MP3s.

Great worked for me too, but.............its a win 10 how do i update to the latest version

ITunes won't open after using Windows Media Center

Today I used Windows Media Center so I could play my music and videos through my X-Box. Now when I try to open iTunes it comes up with the message "The folder itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this folder". Nothing has been changed, I did not lock anything, and now the folder automatically reverts itself to Read-Only. Please help

I also tried un and re-installing itunes but it did nothing

Hello Ezettera
Check out the article below on troubleshooting iTunes start up issues. You may need to start up in Safe Mode or even remove iTunes and its associated software and reinstall iTunes.

Can't open .bin file (trying to install windows media player)

How can I open this .bin file?

I hope you are aware that the Windows Media Player plug-in will not work with Safari because it's not a universal binary. Furthermore, WMP is no longer supported by Microsoft for the Mac. Instead you should download and install Flip4Mac (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.)
Although the WMP plug-in for Safari will not work on an Intel Mac, the player will work fine through the Rosetta emulator. If you are insistent upon using WMP with Safari, then after you install WMP and the plug-in, select Safari's application icon, press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Check the option "Open using Rosetta." This will force Safari to run as a PPC app.
If Stuffit Expander will not open the .bin archive then check to be sure you are using the current version of it. If you continue having problems then try using TheUnarchiver instead (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.) It's also possible you have a defective download.

I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and have installed Windows Media Player 1.0.0.8 for Firefox. However, if I attempt to open a file with a .wmv extension it appears to function properly, except, that I cannot "play" the file. What am I doing wrong?

You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

Motion 3 Won't Open After Installing

Hi,
I reinstalled Motion 3 after doing it 2 days ago because the beach ball keeps coming up and never leaves causing me to force quit. I let it stay up one night and when i awoke 8 hours later it was still up. thus, i reinstalled after trashing it. there's never any motion files in the library to delete and no motion files in the receipts. this time it won't open after installing it and booting down computer. I have lion 10.7.5 the fcp studio disk that i install for motion says version 3 but could have sworn on the computer when it was working it said motion 4. Any suggestions? did all my software updates too.
Thanks,
joe

Motion 3 is part of Final Cut Studio 2. There are many threads on these boards about trying to get those apps to install properly on OS versions above 10.6.8. Here's one such thread. A search will bring up additional ones.

Iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1

Please help. My iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1.. I already connected it to my pc but still didn't open. I waited for a long time, press the on/off, home buttons but still didn't work. Thanks Jah bless all..

Honsetly I do not know if they will charge you, however apple products usually have a one year warranty, such as your charging cable, might. But if you tried to use another charging cable then you will want to make an appointment with Apple. good luck

Installing windows media player 9

I trying installing windows media player 9 but it will not install after the downloading
Any ideas or help

As mentioned, F4M is a better alternative to WMP since Microsoft is no longer updating WMP for Macs.
For everyday use, F4M is great. If you run into any files that won't play with it, I suggest you take a look at VLC. It is a great program to have around since it plays just about anything you will run into.

Needs QuickTime 7 at the least...

I can't play movie downloads. I've tried opening them with Windows Media Player, i-tunes, and Quick time but they don't work.

I can't play i-tunes downloaded movies. I've tried opening them with Windows Media Player, i-tunes, and quick time. Nothing works.

If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning.

Installed windows media player but still cannot play some files

I've installed windows media player for mac but some sites still ask me to download, have you encountered the same problem before?

Most sites require Windows media player version 10 or 11. The latest version available for mac is version 9. So are still not able to play the content.
An alternative is to download Flip4Mac from http://www.flip4mac.com
I have downloaded and installed this software and found that it serves as a good substitute.

Installing windows media player on my ibook G4

I have on several occasions now attempted to download and install wmp on my ibook (only because some radio stations need it to work) and I get as far as downloading it either to the desktop or in a folder in the documents section, then when I click on the icon in order to install it nothing happens only the itunes start up - but there is no mention of windows media player wherever I look. I know it's probably something really obvious but for the life of me I can't work it out. I hope someone out there can - they usually do.
thanks in advance
anne adshead

Windows media player 9 is still available and downloadable for mac, there's just no updates. Flip4mac is a terrible piece of software in my experience.
Do you have Aladdin Stuffit Expander installed? It sounds like you're missing that to expand the download file. Once you have installed Windows media player, then Safari will use it automatically [which is highly recommended as myself and plenty others have found the other to be impossible to use].
Here's the link and down at the bottom of the page you'll find the instructions with the link to Stuffit expander.

Install Windows Media Player with GPO

Hello,
I want to install Windows Media Player on multiple machines by using a GPO. Anyone who knows how to do this? Because I have little experience doing this. but figured this should be pretty easy. Any other way is appreciated, as long as it is managable.
Thanks in advance.
