Safari and VLC -- how do I make them work together?

I installed VLC on my Mac Pro and I want to use VLC to play streaming content. I think the link I'm clicking on is Adobe Flash content that then opens another program to play the MMS stream.
Quicktime Player can't handle the stream and when I click on the link now the computer starts Parallels and tries to launch Windows Media Player from a virtual machine, which also can't handle the stream. I know that the VLC client can handle the stream because it works great on my Macbook Pro.
I don't know how to change the necessary file/stream associations so that Safari/Adobe launch VLC to play the stream instead of either Quicktime or Windows Media Player. Also, because it is a stream launched from flash content I can't just open it in the Finder and change the application association.
I found a workaround by creating a new .ASF file and then opening that with Finder to "change all" and associate ASF with the VLC client, but there must be an easier way.
What is the easiest way to do this?

You may want to download and read the manual for your phone. It may answer a lot of the basic questions.

There is an app on your phone called "Mail". Yes, it's for reading your email.

Image capture won't recognize my ScanSnap iX500. How do I make them work together?

Image capture won't recognize my ScanSnap iX500. How do I make them work together?

To use Image Capture you need an ICA driver for your scanner. Checking the Fujitsu web site for drivers for the iX500 I only see a ScanSnap manager for OS X. No mention of an ICA driver. So you may need to contact your local Fujitsu support.

Thinkpad Yoga and UP710E stylus, how do you make them work together?

So my work just got me a Thinkpad Yoga as per my request
I have confirmed that in the Device Manager I do see: "HID-compliant touch screen"
I have also gone out on my own and purchased the UP710E wacom stylus, as suggested at various points on this board and on other sites, as something that should work with the Yoga
I've also purchased Manga Studios as an art program that is supported on this device (it seems to run fine) and with the pen.
I turned on Manga Studios (and MSPaint for good measure), pressed pen to screen and... nothing. Eraser to screen.. nothing. Mouse? Works fine. Stylus that everything and everyone indicated should work? Nope.
So.... what am I missing? Is there a driver I should be looking at? Everything should be up to date.. some in-between program I need to install? Try this when the wind is blowing south by southwest?
Help please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks.
Here's how the support site describes your MTM:
i5-4300U(2.9GHz), 4GB RAM, 500GB 5400rpm HD, 12.5in 1366x768 LCD, Intel HD Graphics,
Wireless Option, Bluetooth, UltraNav, Secure Chip, 8c Li-Poly, Win8.1 Pro 64
I'll defer to others who might know definitively, but it's my understanding that the 1366x768 LCDs are not Wacom digitizer-equipped, whereas the FHD panels are. That would be one possibility for what you're seeing.
Regards.

Gwibber and python3 : no way to make them work together.

After I upgraded my archlinux with python3, gwibber stopped working :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gwibber", line 10, in <module>
import sys, gtk, optparse, dbus, wnck, time
ImportError: No module named gtk
And of course, pygtk is installed.
I tried to rebuild it and get this :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 6, in <module>
from DistUtilsExtra.command import *
ImportError: No module named DistUtilsExtra.command
Any idea ?

It used to work, but a change made in pygtk breaks it again :
Cannot run it anymore with last pygtk update on testing :
[fred@fredo-arch gwibber]$ Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gwibber", line 10, in <module>
import sys, gtk, optparse, dbus, wnck, time
RuntimeError: could not find _PyGtk_API object
And here is the patch which breaks - again - gwibber :
http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/package … on27.patch
And you're the creator of the patch...
The only workaround I found : using choqok

I have pages and keynote on my iPad, how to i make them work on mac air i have bought later

i have Pages and Keynote, and others of course, on my iPad, how to i make them work on mac air i have bought recently ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The iPad uses iOS, and your MacBook Air uses OS X, which are different operating systems with different apps.
iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers) have got two version: for OS X and for iOS. You already purchased Keynote and Pages for iOS, so you can install them in all your iPhones, iPads and iPods touch for free, but not in the MacBook Air, because the iOS version isn't supported. You have to buy Keynote and Pages for OS X in the Mac App Store for your MacBook Air.
To access to the Mac App Store, press its icon in the Dock or go to  > App Store

Hope you are backing up anyway, but be sure you have an up to date backup. Repair permissions in Disk Utility, then restart from the Snow Leopard disk you buy (in the above link) and do an upgrade (only changes the OS), not a clean install (which wipes all data). Others on here may chime in on their thoughts on how best to do this, but I've never had trouble over 20+ years doing it this way. If you aren't having crashes and strange problems now you should be fine. Please write back or start a new thread (you'll get more help than continuing in this thread which has printing problems in the header) that has something like "Need help upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard" that will attract more help.

Or google "lightning female to 30-pin dock male cable adaptor". The cruicial part is female lightning to male 30-pin ends.

I torrented new songs but itunes wont play them how do i make them work?

i torrented new music and itunes wont play them saying the files cannot be found the files are still on the computer and i can find them just find but itunes cant. how do i make itunes recognize, find and play my new music?

I don't think it's your iPod. I reckon it's something to do with the tracks themselves. I've been searching through similar posts and have tried the following suggestions (without any luck):
- swap you iPod cable to another USB port and re-sync
- whilst the iPod is connected, deauthorise your computer in iTunes and then authorise it
- re-created my iTunes library (as your iPod can only sync with one library, it will wipe clean your iPod and re-sync it) - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
- have even restored my iPod
and still the 3 tracks will not play. However, I have subsequently downloaded another track (different album and artist) and that plays just fine. I have since contacted customer services about this and they have been very quick to respond, but unfortunately the re-download solution they proposed hasn't worked either so they have escalated the problem internally.
One thing I have tried (and I think it's legit??), is to burn the tracks to a CD. Remove the originals from your iTunes library to another folder. Re-import the tracks back into iTunes and re-sync. I've tried this and the tracks will now play on my iPod. I believe the above process strips off the DRM, so maybe the problem lies with the DRM encoding and your iPod believes you don't have permission to play the tracks when in fact you do. If you don't feel comfortable about doing this, I would contact customer services.

Verizon and Extreme - how do I make it work

I have a Westell modem router from Verizon. I bought the Extreme and connected it to the Westell. All of my equipment recognizes the Extreme Network but I can't get on the internet with the Extreme. Can someone please give me some guidance as to how to make it work?

Welcome to the discussions, Pat!
You have two routers in series there, so the second, your AirPort Extreme must be configured in bridge mode to work correctly on the network.
First make sure that you have an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Westell device connected to the WAN (circle icon) port on the AirPort Extreme.
Open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Connect Using = Ethernet (you setting should already look like this)
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and the AirPort Extreme will restart and you should have a green light in 20-25 seconds.

Grandaughter managed to hide the four items from the bottom of my screen, mail, keypad, and safari and music, how do I get them back?

how do I get the four items from the bottom of my screen, safari,keypad,music, and mail to return?

Tap and hold any app's icon until all of the app icons start jiggling. Then tap & hold the apps' icons that you want on the Dock/Launch bar and drag them onto the bar.

The address bar and search bar do not function(no plugins/addons). How do i make them work?

I recently updated firefox and have a problem similar to what others have posted here. When typing a URL in the address bar and hitting enter there is no response. The major difference is I do not have any plugins or add ons or new themes. I ran combofix and found no virus. I uninstalled then reinstall FF. Didn't work. Then i went into registry and manually removed all FF files and reinstalled. Didn't work. I am currently using chrome and would be happy to come back to FF if it starts to work again. Any ideas guys?
Thanks!

You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:

You can still try Safe mode to check for other causes.

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
