Trying to use Media Player

I have just upgraded my Mac to Tiger but i now cannot launch Media Player. It worked before the upgrade.
When i try to launch it the application attempts to launch but then crashes. I have tried reinstalling the application but the same things happens..
It says the application quit unexpectedly.....and i have a choice to Close, Reopen or send a report...
Any ideas??

Some people have been having issues with Windows Media Player and Tiger 10.4.1.
The solution appears to be, exit the application, then to delete the three preferences files from:
Home/Library/Preferences/
They are:
com.microsoft.mediaplayer.plist
Windows Media Favorites
Windows Media Player Prefs
Empty the trash and then then restart Windows Media Player, then see if that makes a difference.

  • Firefox using over 2 million k memory when using media player classic

    Hi I have used Media player classic for years for videos but I have had this problem for over a month now when ever I watch a video with it with firefox open the memory usage of firefox max's out and locks the pc up now I have changed media player but I was wondering if there is a fix as I like media player classic

    Hello,
    Do you really mean Media Player Classic? Both [http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/files/ the original] and [http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli2/files/ the fork] are no longer being developed. You should use the latest version of Media Player Classic Home Cinema. I've been using it for nearly a decade alongside Firefox with no issues. You have a 64-bit operating system, so be sure to get the 64-bit version.

  • When trying to use flash player it says to download the player. i have the latest player

    when trying to use flash player it says to download the player. i have the latest player

    I can assume that you're using IE11, and probably with Windows 8.1.
    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • What can I do to correct this error: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  The drive works fine when I burn a CD using Media Player.

    What can I do to correct this error: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes.  I have reinstalled several times but it hasn't changed this error message.  Why am I able to burn a CD using Media Player but not iTunes?  I am using Windows XP and I have burned cds from iTunes in the past.

    1: Follow this support doc to completly remove iTunes (your files remain)

    2: Download, install and run the Registry cleaner portion of the free Ccleaner

  • How can i play online radio stations using media player on my Mac?

    I'm trying to listen to a local radio station online but when I click the listen live link it just brings me to a blank screen, I've downloaded a Mac compatible "Media Player" but not sure how to get this specific webpage to lauch using that? This may be a simple anwser but i'm stumped!!

    What do you mean Keynote "son't open the DVDs"? That doesn't make sense. It's not up to Keynote to open the DVDs. The file that are ON the DVDs, yes. The DVDs, no. What kind of files are they, exactly?
    Try downloading Open Office and see if you can open them with Impress, the presentation program included with the Open Office package.
    If that won't work, you can get a 1 month trial of Office365 from Microsoft. It's $9.99 a month after the trial ends.

  • Macbook pro. app tries to use flash player and get " Blocked plugin" how to uninstall and reinstall flash player. update does nothing ?

    Wife has an older MacBook Pro. when an app uses flash player "Blocked plugin" comes up. I don't know much about mac, tried to update flash player and get newer version already installed, and update and still get same message. How do I uninstall flash player and reinstall?

    Sounds like it is blocked for the website you are at. Check with this:
    You can quickly test whether a recently added plug-in is causing problems by blocking it.
    Choose Safari > Preferences, click Security, then click Website Settings next to Allow Plug-ins.
    Select the plug-in you want to disable on the far left, then click each pop-up menu on the right and choose Block.For some plug-ins, you see pop-up menus for different websites, and you can choose to block each one individually. Use the “When visiting other websites” pop-up menu to block all other websites that don’t have individual settings.

  • N900 unable to use media player and camera

    I just received my N900 like a few hrs ago and I was testing the features but when I tried playing one of the songs on the phone a message popped up saying "unable to play media. Audio is in use by another application". I didn't have any other application opened at all I also tried to use the camera and the same message popped up, still no other application was opened.
    Another problem I noticed was when I receive a call even after pressing receive call the call still does not pick up...still rings on the other end but when I press end call it hangs up on the caller sending the call to voicemail. But making outgoing calls is no problem.
    I'm a nokia fan and loved all my past nokia phones last one was the N95 and still is working  fine after 4yrs this is the first time I'm having such problems and am disappointed especially since the phone is new.

    even with the latest firmware, 3.2010.02-8.002, you cannot talk on the phone or listen to music and take pictures.  its a bummer, but i hope they fix it.
    i even tried to put the phone in silent mode to cancel the need to use sound, but you still get the same error.
    so, for the now, best just to pause the music when you want to take pictures.

  • Will FireFox Stop Trying To Download Media Player on my desktop with out my permission?

    I hate having my browser closed against my will and having it try to install an add-on that I did not ask for nor want and that I did not give permission to start downloading and put on my browser.
    I don't know what Media Player is but now I hate it this product with a furry because it has try to basically ''***'' it's way on to my browser and it keeps restarting my shit.
    I'd appreciated that in the future, your add-ons come with a message with a yes or no button asking if we want something new or not and when we click no, No means no, don't ever try to install it again for I have zero interest in your product and would like to not have it forced onto my browser.
    And yes this experience has mad me very angry for this has happened at least seventeen times and it seems like its going to keep happening until I complain about it.
    Have a nice day.
    <sub>edited for language - please refer to the [[Forum rules and guidelines]] (philipp)</sub>

    If the above does not work, we need to try Firefox in Safe Mode to determine whether the issue is indeed caused by another add-on.
    To go into safe mode, please try the following steps:
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    Is the issue still present in Safe Mode? Please let us know.

  • How Can I Burn a Disk with PE11?  Or do I use Media Player?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Is this question about Premier Elements 11 (you say PE11) ?  If so then try this:
    Burn video files to a DVD/Blu Ray Disc
    If you have Adobe Premiere Elements installed, you can burn media files to a DVD/Blu Ray Disc.
    Select the media files you want to copy.
    Select Share > Burn Video DVD/BluRay. Adobe Premiere Elements launches and enables you to burn the media files to a DVD or a Blu Ray disc.
    If this doesn't work then try this link:

  • Using Media player with Intel chipsets...

    Does anyone know of a download that would allow me to use WMP with with an Intel chipset?

    VLC and MPlayer both will support WMV on Intel, but i don't think they support WMV3 yet (thats the one made by WMP9), they both support WMV3 on intel Linux and they are working to port it to OS X (i don't think its working yet, but i could be wrong)

  • Windows media player with safari for windows

    Hi everyone
    just a little problem of mine...
    safari seems unable to detect windows media player. I get a message about 'content of MIME type application/x-mplayer2' when I safari tries to use media player. I tried installing the plugin on this page http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html which didn't seem to work. I don't know if this is a mistake but the file name suggests the plugin is for firefox...
    i have also tried installing quicktime and realplayer with no effect
    help appreciated; thank you in advance!

    Hi on_safari,
    I don't know if this is a mistake but the file name suggests the plugin is for firefox...
    Safari and Firefox (and other browsers) use the same interface for handling plug-ins so Safari should be able to use it nonetheless.
    I tried installing the plugin on this page http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html which didn't seem to work.
    Can you describe in more detail what you mean? What did you try and what happened? Were any error messages generated?
