Realplayer or Windows Media Player for iPhone

iphone is working fine for listening to programs that are podcast, but a lot of the stuff i want to hear is only available on realplayer or windows media player. don't really want to sit at my computer and listen to it, would rather do it at work where wifi is available and can use the iphone, but these players are not supported. is there any news on when this might become available, or if apple is even working on this at all? if not, is there any way to save that kind of file in itunes and then get it onto the iphone. sorry if my tech-talk stinks

No way to know, though a RM or WM player would require Real and Microsoft to program one.
There is a chance this will happen with the SDK coming in Feb.
Those files can be converted to an iPhone format (ie Quicktime) providing you have a converter and there are no DRM restrictions in place in the file.

Real Player or Windows Media Player for iPhone

Does anyone know if it is possible to download an application which will allow me to play Real Player or Windows Media Player files from Safari on the iPhone?

Until the 2.0 software is released, it's not possible to download an application to your iPhone at all. Once the new software is out, it might be possible, but it will be up to Real, Microsoft or a third-party to develop such a player. I think the likelihood that Real or Microsoft will pony up to be very low. Whether someone else will, we'll have to wait and see.

Transferring from RealPlayer or Windows Media Player

Can one transfer music directly from RealPlayer or Windows Media Player into iTunes? I downloaded some songs into RealPlayer then burned them onto a CD, then tried to import them into iTunes but iTunes would not recognize some of the songs, so I would like to transfer directly from these other player programs into iTunes (and have them go into iTunes in the correct format for transferring to an IPOD. I haven't bought an IPOD yet. I am just searching this all out to make sure it is going to work the way I hope.

ITunes Store files don't work with Realplayer or Windows Media Player

I tried posting a question but it did not allow me so I am going to try posting it here. I need some help but not sure where to go to post the questions or what e-mail address I can use to e-mail the appropiate place to get help so if you can help me out that would be great.
Problem 1. I won a ITunes gift card recently and set up a account and downloaded some music. Now the I just learned the file type cannot be played through Realplayer or Windows Media Player that are on my desktop nor can the tracks be put on to my MP3 player. I have deauthorized my computer and still no luck. Can anyone tell me if there is anything I can do so I can do what I mentioned above? If so what?
Problem 2 - If there is no way to covert the music who do I get contact and how to go about getting a refund for the tracks purchased.
Problem 3 - Sorta linked with #2 Once I get my refund applied to my account is there away for me to cancel my account and or transfer it to a person that does have a IPOD or is able to play Itumes files on their desktop?
Thanxs in advance.

Problems with Windows Media Player for Mac's

Is it safe to download and opperate Windows media player for Mac's to view video on the web ?
Anybody has experience with it ? What are possible problems that may be encountered ? Thanks for any input or feedback.

"Is it safe to download and opperate Windows media player"
Sure, why not?
You should know that's it's discontinued, and no longer developed by Microsoft, and therefore will never be native to Intel Macs. You should look to the free Flip4Mac QuickTime plugin from flip4mac.com

Aspect ratio problem in Windows Media Player for DVD from DVD Studio Pro

So I made a DVD with DVD Studio Pro and it looks good in Apple's DVD Player, on an Insignia DVD player appliance and on Playstation 2. Both the movie and the deleted scene were 16:9 from camera to Final Cut Pro and they show that way in all these players.
But on Windows Media Player for Windows XP, the program thinks the movie is 4:3 and the deleted scene is 16:9. Nero's Showtime has the same exact behavior, but at least you can force aspect ratio on Nero.
Besides being longer, the movie is different from the deleted scene in that the movie was originally out of Final Cut Express on an older Mac and it was encoded big endian. The deleted scene was output from Final Cut Pro and encoded little endian. I didn't think it would make a difference, but I tried outputting the movie from Final Cut Pro on the newer Mac and it did come out little endian. I took that into DVD Studio Pro, got rid of the old VIDEO_TS folder and re-built the project, burnt a new DVD. Then I went back to Windows and...
...the same exact problem. Some of the people I give this DVD to will be using Windows Media Player to view it, which is why I want this to not be an issue at all. What am I overlooking?

Look, everyone here (who each have been creating DVDs for over a decade) is telling you the same story. WMP is buggy. Everyone in the industry knows that. Hardware manufacturers like Dell and HP, know that. Why don't you use the DVD player program that they put on the hard drive? Sure one "Hollywood" title works. Did I mention that WMP is buggy? Test a thousand titles, and I'm certain that you will find some discs have problems on WMP, and WMP alone. (And it isn't my assertion that Hollywood DVDs have issues in WMP, everyone is telling you that.) No one has a solution for this, except to not use WMP. Let me repeat once again, no one has a solution for this except to not use WMP. It is impossible to add any sort of programming to the disc that will detect which player is being used to play the disc and compensate for the problems of that player.
Let me put it this way, if you have a disc that plays fine on Zeus's device, and on Apollo's device, and on Hera's device, and on Hermes' device, and on Artemis' device, but you have problems with Athena's device, then logically, Athena's device has a problem... not the disc. Your own experience has proved this to be true. If you were having problems with every device used, THEN you could rightfully say that there is a problem with the disc.

Is there a plugin for windows media player for my android phone

is there a plugin for windows media player for my android phone

There is no Windows Media player plugin for any browser on Android. If you are lucky download the file and see if any of media players on the system can play the file.

I can't open Windows Media Player for Mac

I need to run windows media player for an important service i suscribe to, (mlb.com). I installed the mac version on the windows website, but I cannot open it because my mac says that I need to choose what application to open it with. I don't know what application I should choose to open it. I don't even know if i have the application to open it. Thanks for any help.

You might want to use Flip4Macinstead.
If you are downloading Windows Media Player you will also need to download Stuffit Expander as Microsoft have used Stuffit to compress the installation file and Tiger now no longer comes with Stuffit.
Once you have expanded the .sit file you can then run the Windows Media Player installer.

Conflict with Windows Media Player for Mac

I´ve installed parallel desktop on my mac (MacBook Pro), then Windows so I can run a PC only program. The conflict is this: When I want to play a video on WMP (for mac), for example: when I receive an email with a video clip to be played and I double click it, Parallel Desktop starts up automaticaly to play it on windows. I´ve right clicked and tried to specify that WMP on my mac should be the one to open videos by default; but it´s not working, or I´m doing something wrong.
Any wisdom? Thanks in advance.

select a .wmv file and enter command+i. in the resulting popup go to "open with" section, select the default application you want (not a Windows Media player for Mac which is extinct) to use and click "change all". see if it sticks now.

No. You cannot download or install anything to iphone, unless it is offered in the App Store on itunes.
Adobe does not make a flash player for iphone.

How do I get WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER for Mac to work?!

I just purchased a mac for the first time and so far I love it except certain videos I try and download seem to require Windows Media Player which is no problem except for every time I download the Mac version it shows up as a Windows.stix file and is just a bunch of garbage it also says that the system doesn't know what to open it with. Basically, its not an installation application like the file should be. Everyone else I know has downloaded this file fine but my luck is not that goood. Does anyone know why this would be happening or could it just be my computer?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The SITX file has to be opened with http://www.stuffit.com/ 's Stuffit Expander.
Note Windows Media for Mac will not open DRMed videos. For that you need a copy of Windows to install on your Mac.
You may want to consider writing anyone who just has DRMed videos to make their videos more accessible by making them either available via Quicktime or Realplayer, reminding them Quicktime Broadcaster is free.

Problems with Windows Media Player for OSX and IMAC G5 Intel Duo

I was able to download Windows Media Player 9 for Mac but when I surf on the net and I click on the WMP files, instead of opening automatically, it downloads the content and only then lets me open it.
Also, with live streaming, when I click for the window to open it will say that: "Some content on this page requires an Internet plug-in that Safari doesn’t support. The application “Windows Media Player” may be able to display this content. Would you like to try?".
Except that I already downladed WMP... It worked fine with the PowerPc G5 so it must be the Intel chip. Please help.

Microsoft has abandoned WMP for the Mac and has ceased development. You may wish to consider and alternative!
WMP 9 for Mac is not a Universal binary, so it does not run natively on Intel iMacs. It runs using Rosetta. If the WMP plugin is installed in HD/Library/Internet Plugins/ for it to run usable by Safari you must be using Safari with Rosetta.
I have two versions of Safari, Safari - Uni & Safari - Rose, Uni runs natively and Rose uses Rosetta. To make a Rose version;
1. Right-click Safari and choose Duplicate
2. Rename the copy whatever you like to tell it from the other; ex: Safari - Rose
3. Right-click Safari - Rose and choose Get Info
4. In the top pane of the Info window check the box Run using Rosetta.
You need to use Safari -Rose for websites with WMP multimedia material to get it to play in the browser.
There are also WMP replacements that you can use with Safari such as Flip4Mac and others. Here is a Discussion that covers many of the alternatives;

Windows Media Player for MAc and other issues

I just bought a mac a week ago.
Decided to do the switch since the person at the store told me I could use the win XP interface. Anyway after installing the win xp, i realised my laptop doesnt not recognise the drivers.I got no sound, no airport. I am not too sure if the service pack is the issue. I am using service pack one.
Since I need to listen to some online lecture recordings and my xp doesnt have sound, i have to use it on MAC OS. But as the problem is the site kept telling me to install Internet explorer 5.5 and above and after install IE for MAc 5.1, it ask for Windows Media player. I installed flip4mac and media player for mac ..it still doesnt work...
I am truly sad to see the difficult in using a macbook and i kinda regretted getting it. It just getting on my nerves....
can someone please guide me or do you have any similar problem?
Thanks

sound, no airport. I am not too sure if the service
pack is the issue. I am using service pack one.
Yes the service pack is an issue if you're using Boot Camp to run XP. If you don't have SP2, you can try running Parallels Desktop (http://www.Parallels.com) which doesn't require SP2.
Since I need to listen to some online lecture
recordings and my xp doesnt have sound, i have to use
it on MAC OS. But as the problem is the site kept
telling me to install Internet explorer 5.5 and above
and after install IE for MAc 5.1, it ask for Windows
Media player. I installed flip4mac and media player
for mac ..it still doesnt work...
Some streaming media sites are not compatible with Mac OS X. Are these online lectures for school? I would simply ask the person running the class to help you get support. They can tell you pretty quickly if it's possible to listen with a Mac. If it's not, you should be able to do it from XP with either Parallels or Boot Camp (provided you have an SP2 version of XP).

There are times that using a Mac (with 5% market share) is frustrating because many websites don't follow standards properly. If the web designers blow it off and only support Windows, 95% of the users are still happy and don't complain. That's lazy and infuriating but it happens quite a lot. There's even a name for it: Mac Marginalization.
So you will run into this from time to time. The best solution on the Macbook is to get one of the Windows environments up and running properly. But you should still complain LOUDLY to the people who set up the bad website. The only way this will change is if users let lazy site administrators know that they are MAD about it.

Windows Media player for videos on Safari...

Hi-
I am brand new to a mac...I have been cruising the web and a lot of web sites I frequently visited on my PC laptop are now not working the same. Fifa.com for example. I go to look at soccer highlights, but the videos do not work.
When the video screen comes up it originally directed me to the microsoft page to download windows media player to be able to view the videos. I downloaded windows media player and the installer and installed it onto my mac. However, still when I go to the webpage it does not work... now when I go to the page it says "Some content on this page requires an Internet plug-in that Safari doesn’t support. The application “Windows Media Player” may be able to display this content. Would you like to try?" When I say OK the windows media player pops up and says "cannot open the file. Verify the path and filename are correct and try again." I am not sure what to do... I know it is not the websites problem as on my PC laptop the videos play fine. I just want to watch my soccer highlights on my new spiffy Mac, please help.
THANKS in advance.

Hi Anni,
Welcome to  discussions
Thanks for all the info but I have tried everything and still nothing. I just don't get it.
You're welcome If I may say, you have tried everything is too broad a statement when trying to get help we need to know what you have tried.
Have you tried a freshly created test account? See this doc, on how, if you haven't see this on 10.4 & Adding a new user account to your computer, this helps to show if this is a problem isolated to your username account or system wide.
Do you have the plugin components mentioned?
Are you running 3rd party Safari extending applications?
Has Flip4mac ever worked for you?
Post a Url of the video you are trying to watch, or an example of similar would help, so we may try it.
Can you view Youtube & google vids?
• If those are your correct specs you show your os is extremely behind, missing all the fixes
the subsequent os updates & security updates offer. If they are incorrect please take a sec, to correct, adding the size of drive & ram would help as well
If you update make sure to back up your personal files & data see this document on,How to back up and restore your important Mac OS X 10.3 & 10.4 files
Look at A. Brodys post on how to update properlya. Brody now that 10.4.6 is out lets review..albeit it os 10.4.6 it still applies up to 10.4.10, his is the first post, ( this was the start of the double boot after os update.)
Apologies if you already know all this I can't not know, prefer err on the side of caution.....
• Note that your problem sounds different then the original posters problem, he doesn't speak of freezing, you are running a ppc ibook he a Macbook on 10.4.10.
Please post your own topic & articulate what the "everything" you have tried happens to be, you are more likely to get the help you need, no doubt it must be most
annoying not to be able to view what you know you can.
Good luck,
