QuicktimeKirk...that helped but I'm still having problems???

thank you for the info that helped, however...now a QT message comes up and says "the movie could not be opened" am I missing a plug in? do I have to setup QT to accept and play some types of video ie: wmv, mpeg, avi etc...do these types of files require special plug ins/adapters?
thanks kirk

The term "video" is too generic. Too many third party players and software codecs and browser plug-ins and there is no "one" player that can handle them all.
Better to learn how to sort your videos based on the file extensions and then the players that can "play" those formats.
http://www.realnetworks.com/products/media_players.html
Real Player handles .rm, .ra and .ram (their own formats) as well as being able to play most QuickTime formats.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q316992
Windows Media Player handles .asf, .wma, .wmv and .wm (their own formats) as well as most .avi, .mpg, .au, .wav, .aif(f) and .mid(i) file formats. It can't play .rm or .ra files. It can't play .mov or .qt (except those authored by version 2 or QuickTime (too old now). It also has its own version of MPEG-4 (.mp4) codecs so it can play "Windows" versions of MPEG-4 but not QuickTime authored versions. Windows Media Player has dropped support for the Mac OS and suggests third party software from http://flip4mac.com be used in its place for both browser based and "local" files.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/player/specs.html
QuickTime handles .mov, .m4v dozens of image formats as well as .3gp (cell phone) and most MPEG-4 formats (requires third party codecs to play "Windows" MPEG-4 authored files) such as .m4a, .m4b (bookmark audio) .m4v and .m4p. It also handles most audio file formats (.au, .wav, .mp3, .mid(i), .aif(f), .kar (karaoke) .amr and .amc. It can also play MPEG-1 (.mpg) and MPEG-2 (non encrypted .mpeg .m2v, .m2a and others) found on VCD's and DVD's.
QuickTime also handles Flash Media (.swf) if authored as Flash version 5, or lower and can play "most" .avi and DivX files when the proper third party codecs are installed.
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/
Flash Player handles .swf, .flv and .dcr formats. It doesn't open (directly) QuickTime Real Player or Windows formats. It is mainly found as a plug-in based file format in browsers.
There are dozens of other third party media players and conversion software tools.
So. Completely confused?
Download the big "3". Windows Media Player (now Flip4Mac), Real Player and Flash Player and install version appropriate for your OS and computer.
Learn which file extensions are used only by one player so you have a clue when something doesn't work as it should.
When QuickTime can "open" (player window opens) but you can't view or hear anything you're probably missing a codec. The Movie Info window of QuickTime will show you what codec is used and you can search for a compatible version for your OS.

  • I have applied the "MSVCR80.dll" fixes (uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes), but I am still having problems.

    I have applied the "MSVCR80.dll" fixes of uninstalling and reinstalling iTune in the proper order, several times, but I stall have a problem.  When I launch iTunes, my computer will freeze, task manger says that Itunes has stopped responding and the CPU reading in task manager pegs at 100% usage.  After about 10 minutes the iTunes start running again and the cpu drops back to normal.  I can get to the apple store without freezing.  However, iTune will not display my iPod or iPhone in the sidebar.  And when I plug th the iPod and iPhone into my desk computer I get a error meassage. 
         "This ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed.  Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install 64-bit version of iTunes"
    This I have done three times with the same result.
    What next?

    It froze on start up, then ran, did not see the plugged in iPod or iPhone, and gave me the same "this iPod cannot be used because..." message.
    I also ran the iTune Diagnostic.  It said the the iPod Services " and "Apple Moblie Device" are not running.  So I followed the Help instructions (see Link  for AMD below)  For restarting "iPod Services" everything when per instructions, but it did not fix my iTune problems.   The "Apple Moblie Device" restart was a problem, because I could not find the AMD file in the Service folder.
    Hmmm. Let's try swapping out your AMDS.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

  • I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased from iTunes) since the update.  Have restarted, rebooted etc. and it is worse than before.  Help!  Spent a lot of money on these and they won't play properly.

    I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased on iTunes) since the update.  The first day of the update, no problems...played 6 hours of music videos and no freezing.  Today...every single video froze!!! So frustrating!  I rebooted, restarted, powered down and no help.   I would appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks.

    I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.
    This may help, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000542.htm
    As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
    Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
    Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.

  • I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S.

    I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.  

    Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller?  Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones.  The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
    Try these steps, as needed:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
    4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
    5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

    HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did perform the "see Advanced - General - Accessibility. It worked for me and my "user" site (don't know how to say my site) and still having problems with my wife's.

    This did not rememdy the problem. I did try to get on the other site suggested

    but got a 404 error...
    I have googled the "ff prevented...." and after a number of hours searching I still have not found a fix...

    You should still disable this setting:
    *Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
    What is the value of the <b>accessibility.blockautorefresh</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.blockautorefresh
    If you have problems with preferences, see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

    What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
    After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
    Take Care,

  • Still having problems with images

    I am still having problems putting images into an Oracle 9i database and fetching them back out.
    I think I have finally managed to force a blob image into the database, but can't seem to get it back out into a byte array.
    After many iterations, I have come up with something that might be getting close.
    The code is listed below.
    Everything has been simplified as much as I can.
    The function get_user_picture_func1 returns a single blob for a specified index.
    In this case, I have hardcoded the index = 3 and I think there is an image in the database for that index. (it says there are bytes there anyway).
    The byte array to store the image is defined outside the method fetchImage().
    byte[] imageData;
    When I call fetchImage() I get the following exception:
    Invalid argument(s) in call: getBytes().
    at the line
    imageData = picture.getBytes(zro, k);
    It looks like getBytes has two parameters, Long offset, int length.
    I had diagnostic statements and I confirmed that the statement:
    int k = (int)picture.length(); returned k=4198 (the same size as the image).
    I am at a loss to understand what the exception is trying to tell me.
    I'be been trying to get this to work for a week now and am really getting burned out trying to find anything that works.
    void fetchImage()
    Blob picture;
    String query = "{ ? = call get_user_picture_func1( ? ) }";
    try
    CallableStatement cs = con.prepareCall( query );
    cs.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.BLOB);
    cs.setInt(2,3);
    cs.execute();
    picture = cs.getBlob(1);
    if( picture != null)
    InputStream in = picture.getBinaryStream();
    int k = (int)picture.length();
    imageData = new byte[k];
    long zro = 0;
    imageData = picture.getBytes(zro, k);
    catch( Exception e)
    }

    I have been using my iPad mini with keynote to make slide presentations in  my classes.There has been no problem until I upgraded to Keynote 5.3. Now the refresh rate on the iPad mini is so slow and out of sync with the projected image that I was forced to not use keynote! I have 2 years of work invested that I will have to toss unless this gets fxed. I have not had this problem with this equipment/files before. Only change was upgrade to keynote 5.3. ( Some details: I connect to the projector with a  VGA cable and Apple lightining adaptor to the iPad Mini. All updates current on theiPad Mini.)  Yes I did turn on and off all equipment. And I did check all cable connections. Thanks for any help you may give!
