Some movie skipping after the 1.2 Firmware Update

I recently installed the 1.2 Firmware Update via Software Update. Since then some movie players have been skipping during play...not terribly, but just enough to be annoying. The Movie Players I am referring to are Windows Media Player (which I realize is no longer supported) and something called SWF & FLV Player (which I should still be supported, but I forget where I got it...).
Anyone know what might be causing this? Is it the Firmware update, or should I get new versions of these players (if possible)?
Thankfully, I seem to have not had the more nasty errors I just saw on these forums from the firmware update...it updated fine, and no major problems.
P.S. Anyone know if this firmware update fixed the freezing problems? I seem to freeze while doing things that are heavy on graphics (such as World of Warcraft), and I see others have too, but I have not been able to do much of that since this 1.2 update, so I don't know if it still happens...it was happening most days for me, sometimes more than once a day.

I don't know what is causing the skipping, but as far as keeping your software up-to-date, here's the latest version of SWF & FLV PLayer:
SWF & FLV Player - 3.5.12.5925
As for Windows Media Player, it hasn't been updated since 2004 and doesn't run natively on Intel processors. Even Microsoft recommends using the Flip4Mac codecs:

  • I have created some movies using After Effects but can't open them now because I get the following message:

    I have created some movies using After Effects but can't open them now because I get the following message:
    Ray-tracing on the GPU requires an approved NVIDIA graphics card and CUDA 5.0 or later. For now, ray-tracing will use the GPU.

    HELP. I have a project that needs to be delivered.

    The alert message is just telling you that a specific feature won't use the GPU. This message is innocuous. It only means that the processing of one specific, obsolete feature will use the CPU, not the GPU.
    Are you saying that After Effects won't start or open your project?

  • I'm going on vacation and would like to have some movies rented for the flight. I won't have wifi so can i download rented movies?

    I'm going on vacation and would like to have some movies rented for the flight. I won't have wifi so can i download rented movies?

    Prior to going you can rent and download them on your iPad via its iTunes store app, or rent and download them on your computer's iTunes and connect and your iPad and move them to it - they will go in the iPad's Videos app.
    Some people have posted that they need to start playing rentals whilst they still have internet connection, so you may want to watch a few seconds prior to going offline - you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, after starting to watch a rental before it expires.

  • HT203167 Got a new IPAD HAVE SOME MOVIES STILL IN THE OLD PAD BUT NOT TRANSFER OVER,PLUS WOULD LIKE TO KNOWN ABOUT THE CLOUDS SYSTEM

    Hello      Question got new I     pads for xmas, down load music, some movies, but on the rental side have some thier, some are active and other in clouds would very much to finish this down load  thank you

    If they are rentals and you downloaded them directly on your old iPad then that is the only device that you can watch them on - rentals are one-time only downloads, and those that are downloaded directly on a device (as opposed to a computer's iTunes) can't be moved to another device or computer.

  • I have the new version of iMovie, and when i try to start the program, i can't because it says that it is looking for some movie files from the Iphoto, so all the program is locked up... how can i do to restart the program??

    i have the new version of iMovie, and when i try to start the program, i can't because it says that it is looking for some movie files from the Iphoto, so all the program is locked up... how can i do to restart the program??

    Hi
    Did You ever use - iPhoto ?
    Did You may be direct iPhoto to a different Photo Library
    As iMovie tries to find the appropriate photo library - it can get lost if iPhoto direct it into a Library on a not connected external hard disk or to a strange location - And iMovie HANGS.
    Do - When no other program is running that might interfere
    • Start iPhoto - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key (option key) DOWN during the full Start-Up process
    • Now iPhoto let's You select Photo Library
    • Select the one in Your Account / Home folder / Pictures ! !
    • Then iPhoto should start up OK
    • Now Quit iPhoto
    • START iMovie
    Does it still hangs - then I would suspect - iMovie Pref. file
    If it Run's OK - Then HURRAY !

  • External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.

    External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.
    I have the latest Airpor Time capsule 2gb. I specifically bought it so that I could have an external hardrive set up to wirelessly house my itunes library and movies. When i connect the drive, all i get is that the disk needs to be repaired.
    the drive can works fine when connected to the macbook pro and I have run the verify and repair features in disk utility. I have also reset the airport timecapsule as well following these changes and still no change.
    The 7.7.2 update says that it addressed the usb issue of not showing the drives but there are still problems as I cannot get it to appear.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    How is the hard drive formatted?
    Have you tried using a powered USB hub with the drive when it is connected to the Time Capsule?
    (The USB port on the Time Capsule is borderline as far as power is concerned....you may need to use a powered hub.....even if the hard drive has its own power supply)
    If the drive is formatted correctly....and....it has ample power, it will "show up" when you open AirPort Utility, click Edit, then click the Disks tab at the top of the next window.
    In the example below, my Time Capsule drive is named "Backups" and another drive named "WD Drive" is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
    You should see the name of your Time Capsule drive (named "Data" unless you have changed the name) and the name of the USB drive if you perform the same check.
    What do you see?

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

  • Lighting cables and adapters are not working after the last iOS 7 update.

    Looking for some help from Apple here. After the last iOS 7 update, some of my lightning cables and adapters have stopped working.
    I have an iPhone 5 funning iOS 7.0.2.
    I have a car charger/FM RF transmitter that has worked like a charm for years. Because none of these have been made with a lighting connector, I've had a genuine Apple adapter on it since I bought my iPhone 5 a year ago. Never had a problem until the last iOS update. Now when I plug it in, not connection is registered. I've verified the charger is working by removing the adapter and plugging the old iPhone connecting into an iPhone 4 running iOS 6. I've also verified the adapter is working by plugging the charger with adapter into an iPad mini running iOS 6.
    I also have a Belkin USB car charger. This came with a black lighting cable. Also worked like a charm until the last update. Now, half the file when I plug it in, no conncetion is registered. The other half of the time, it says this cable is not supported but does not connect my phone or charge it. I've also verified that the cable is working by plugging it into an iPad mini running iOS 6.

    I had the same bug. Powering off the phone and back on resolved the issue

  • Why after the last Photoshop CC Update the Lasso Tool not more have the Backspace step backward -Fun

    So i can not work more. Please change immediately with a next update!! Please..

    Good day!
    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
    Also I can not reproduce the issue you claim to have with 14.2 on Mac OS 10.8.5.
    What is your OS?

    I have this exact same issue!
    I was on 2.0.1 running fine until late last week, noticed emails would not show up unless I had opened them in outlook. I thought I ran into a bug so I upgraded to 2.0.2. Now I can sync my email if outlook had them opened previously, but no calendar or contacts at all. I don't think my exchange admins will move me to another server, any other ideas?
    I love my iphone but if these features don't work I can't use it. I would appreciate any ideas.

  • HT6114 After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011). Outlook flashes briefly then nothing happens. How can I get Outlook to open?

    After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011).  Outlook flashes briefly but does not open.  How can I get Outlook to open?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

I do not know what it's id. Because there were so many phone users so no one knows. Now it becomes a paperweight map. Is there a way to reopen the phone there?

  • TS3824 How can we install the iMac Graphics Firmware Update if the screen is white and I can't get to the Apple menu?

    How can I install the iMac Graphics Firmware Update 2.0, if the screen is white and I can't get to the Apple menu?  My computer has 5 vertical purple lines against white screen at startup before the Apple logo appears and the spinning gear...then everything disappears and the screen hangs on the white screen.  I have tried unplugging and removing all my peripherals and the COMMAND, OPTION, P & R set of keys and still nothing.  I have tried COMMAND C to start up from cd and it only tells me to turn off the computer and turn it back on.  I found information on Apple's Support pages regarding the iMac Graphics Firmware Update but I am unable to download and install if I can't get to the Apple menu.  Can anyone help?

    You may have hardware problem, I think a visit to your local Apple Store or AASP is in order.
