Unable to opn FLV files and more with newest Quicktime vs 7 Pro

Hi and thanks in advance -
Suddenly I cannot open FLV files and I have the Flip4Mac etc plugins. NO LUCK. This is a waste of money patience and time ... or does anyone know of a way to create harmony in the cacophanous quicktime wannabe world. I have a new macbook which I adore and I am ready to throw it down the loo.
PLEASE help. It's much appreciated.

FLV is Flash Video. QuickTime isn't used (normally)
to view them and most of use use the free Flash
Player and its browser plug-in.
The free Perian http://perian.org/ component may help
you.
hi and many thanks for the advise - stupid of me not to see that the flv = flash. I have had the perian plugin installed and running 100 percent for some time.
I'll give it another go nonetheless and again thanks for the input! BTW the flash player has been running fine too. Perhaps a conflict?

Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player.
She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help. She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required.
The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found."
Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix it?

I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

Cleaned files and apps with "app cleaner" and now MacBook Air turns off during start up. What happens? What can I do? Please help

Cleaned files and apps with "app cleaner" and now MacBook Air turns off during start up. What happens? What can I do? Please help

The "app cleaner" managed to do bad things to the file system so that it is unable to boot any longer.
This is the primary reason I always recommend that any of those so called "cleanup" apps never be used. They do more harm then good.
Try a safe boot by holding down the shifgr key when you hear the boot chime. Maybe that can fix the damage.
Let us know what happens.

It's flash. Do you have a flash player installed?
Not sure, but try VLC

HT204382 I can't open .flv files and I have OS X Lion 10.7.5

I need to open .flv files and store on my computer for presentations. How can I do that? The message when I try to open from Safari "The document "GetClean_400.flv" could not be opened. The movies' file format isn't recognized." I have Adobe Player and I have Quick Time but for some reason it will not recognize and open. Do I need to upgrade to Mountain Lion? If so, will my Mac support?

You need to install Perian.

Having problem opening my files and pictures with word 2013

I can not open my files and pictuers with office word 2013 ,everything goes to adobe and it would not allowed me to convert it to office word 2013
You can reach on [email protected] or [email protected]
thanks

Gizmo,
Select one of these files in the Finder, then press Apple-I to open a Getinfo window for it. Use the "Open With..." pull-down menu to choose Preview as the default application, then click the "Apply to All" button.
If Preview is already set as the default application, try choosing another one, clicking the "Apply to All" button, then re-do the whole thing using Preview.

Keep losing my secure wifi with iPhone and ipad with newest iOS update. PC still connected

Keep losing my secure wifi on my ipad and iphone with newest iOS update. My PC is still connected to same secure wifi. Any ideas.

Contact xFinity (Comcast) to turn off dynamic channel switching if on and have it set to a fixed channel.
Usually WiFi routers will only change channels to the least busy when they are initially powered up.

FLV files and editing them in FCE HD

is this possible....like at all? the new real player allows you to d/l any web video and i noticed that FC will not let me import the flv file. so what can i do so that i can edit the videos i d/l from youtube, etc?

Use Mpegstreamclip (www.squared5.com) and convert it into a QuickTime movie with a standard format that FCE can handle.

Armando.

Making a .flv file and retaining quality

I have a completely finished movie in Final Cut. I need to create a .flv version that is really small in file size (less than 10mb) but retain the quality.
What is the best way to do this?
I have a friend who had a quality .mov file of 18 mb that was converted in to a .flv file of 4.6 mb and it still looks amazing.
Any help would be much appreciated
Tim

There is no magic button that will work for all videos. A lot depends on how many pixels are changing between frames and this can be drastically affected by long, slow dissolves - particularly if dissolving between motion-intensive scenes. And, of course, quality is a subjective term that must be ironed out with several review steps with you/your client.
That said, I've been very happy with results I've gotten from Sorenson Squeeze (and similar products) from Sorenson Media over the years.

Its interface offers quite a lot for tweaking the quality/size of the output files.

How to delete all files and folders (with files) in IsolatedStorage.

Hi awesome programmer:-) The code I have to clean up the local folder doesn't work properly so I won't even bother posting it here. I basically want to have a "master reset" option to remove all new created files and folder in the local folder.
Can you give me simple code to remove all files/folder so the app goes back to the state it was when the user installed it for the first time? Thanks in advance. ps I were able to delete a directory(-ies) with this method:
private async void DeleteDirectory(string directoryName)
try
var folder = await Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.GetFolderAsync(directoryName);
if (folder != null)
await folder.DeleteAsync();
this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(delegate()
txtUpdateFeed.Text = "Folder < " + directoryName + " > deleted.";
catch (Exception ex)
this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(delegate()
txtUpdateFeed.Text = "Delete Directory << " + directoryName + " >> Error: " + ex.GetBaseException().Message.ToString();
It seems to work, I have not tested with all conditions though. Anyway let me put up the code so you can see I have been trying: This is to delete everything but not all files are deleted:
private void WipeAllData(bool bln)
try
txtUpdateFeed.Text = "Removing files...";
if (bln)
txtUpdateFeed.Text = "Removing folders...";
//Delete videos directory
DeleteDirectory("videos");
//Delete pictures directory
DeleteDirectory("pictures");
txtUpdateFeed.Text = "Folders removed.";
//Delete the rest of the files
var iso = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
foreach (string name in iso.GetFileNames())
iso.DeleteFile(name);
BtnWipeAllData.Content = "Wipe All Data";
VideoCameraPowerValue = "on";
BtnVideoCameraPower.Content = "Video Camera: ON";
PhotoCameraPowerValue = "on";
BtnPhotoCameraPower.Content = "Photo Camera: ON";
txtUpdateFeed.Text = "Files removed successfully.";
catch (Exception ex)
MessageBox.Show("Wipe All Data Error:\n" + ex.Message.ToString());
Why isn't all files being deleted?

Hi Clint William Theron,
Based on your descriptions, I know that when you run the above code, it does not delete all the files, then have you checked that which kinds of files or in which folder the files can not been deleted?
Besides, if you want to let the app go back to the state it was when the user installed it for the first time, then an easy way is to uninstall and reinstall it.

Unable to embedded xls files word doc with acrobat distiller 6

Hi,
I have a problem to convert a Microsoft Word docs with embedded excel(*.xls) to PDF using Adobe Distiller 6. The excel file will become an image file after conversion.
Please advise on what went wrong or is this a limititaion of Adobe Distiller 6.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Haikal

I suspect that what you are asking as nothing to do with Acrobat. For what you are doing, there is no need to use PDF Maker (unless you are looking for links or such). You do not have to use Distiller (unless you are taking about the Acrobat Distiller printer with AA5 and earlier), but simply print to the Adobe PDF printer (that automates the use of Distiller). In fact, Distiller can not handle DOC files, so I suspect you are using AA5. However, the end result will be based on whatever WORD sends to the printer, not how Acrobat converts it. If text is sent, then Acrobat will convert it accordingly. Sounds like WORD is sending the Excel file as a graphic. It may just be that is how WORD handles that OLE aspect of the embedding.
I am no expert on WORD (I use another package), but I really doubt that Acrobat is at fault. I would look at what WORD is doing. One way to do this is to print to a PS file (you can do this with the Adobe PDF printer using print-to-file. Open the PS file and you should find a graphic structure in the PS that represents the Excel file.

!!! Statements of Logic Deleting Files and messing with System are True !!!

This morning I answered some guys post about Logic deleting everything in the same level as the project folder under certain circumstances. I Tried trouble shooting for him but could not recreate it.
Then this happened to me today:
When working in Logic 8 in Leopard all of a sudden it stopped communicating with my Unitor8 via USB. I restarted but the Unitor 8 Which I reset twice would NOT communicate with L8 anymore. It would remain in patch mode (red light lit though CPU is running)
I've had this erratic behavior many times since the past years on many computers so it wasn't really new. All one needs to do is reinstall the Unitor Family driver.
So I decided to do so:
I inserted my Logic Studio DVD and opened the installer and checked ONLY the Unitor family Drivers. After completed install I restarted the Mac. Everything went fine. So I booted L8. While booting I saw my hardrives on the right side of the desktop flash once. I thought that to be strange and took closer look.
Now my boot drive was missing from all the drives on the desktop and in the sidebar window...
I tried to Apple+Click on a Application in the dock. The finder opened the applications folder and showed me the app I had clicked on. But I could not navigate to the root of my System Drive even via the "path" sysmbol in the toolbar. So I hit shiftappleg and entered /Volumes/MySystemVolume - it showed my volume "Grayed Out" in the finder window...
I tried repairing the disk and permissions but nothing was wrong with my boot drive apparently besides the fact that the finder (and all other applications when wanting to open or save) could not "see" my system drive... I could launch all the apps normally that were residing on the SystemDrive in the AppFolder... So this kept getting weirder...
So I opened my favorite application Tinkertool System and went to the Tab Files and chose the underlying tab "Attributes" which shows me Macintosh HFS and Finder Attributes... I pulled my SystemDrive onto the Drop Area and discovered something VERY amazing: The Display in Finder option had mysteriously been altered to "INVISIBLE"
I changed it to Visible and there it was - My System Drive... Showing up in the finder...
I made a restart to make sure everything was OK....
After the restart the following settings had VANISHED:
1) Pixadex = ALL ICONS (I had 230 MB) of sorted icons stored in my Application Support Folder
2) All my Safari Book marks were gone - They were still in ~/Library/Safari - but the Bookmarks.plist was UNREADABLE even with a text editor and XML editor
3) Numerous other applications had LOST their authorization preferences so I had to re-authorize many of my Audio Unit plug-ins...
4) My Dock had been reset
5) My Monitor arrangement had been reset...
6) My date and time had been reset
7) My energy settings had been reset.... (I had NOT zapped the P-RAM)
Since installing Leopard 2 weeks ago - I have CAREFULLY monitored ANY activity after INSTALLING anything in order to be able to troubleshoot - and this problem definitely occurred right after installing the USB Family Drivers and launching L8....
There was really NO HARM done other than the sweating that I did troubleshooting but if L8 is capable of doing what happened to this other guy loosing his whole folder and now doing this to me - where are the limits? When is someone going to get REAL hurt.
Please Apple - I am sending you this post as a BUG report as well - could you PLEASE look into this as there has to be some kind of VERY dangerous MALFUNCTION within Logic or its Installers.

Wow, I was just joking with the medication thing. I didn't actually think it was seriously a mental health issue. Sorry.
In any case, though, if he has full access to the Mac, mental health issues or no, there's not a whole lot to do about it. If it is possible to take away administrative privileges without causing a huge fuss, then you can limit his access to certain things. However, you can't mess with privileges on a Time Machine backup (doing so breaks it), and that means he's going to have access to at least parts of the backup. Which means he can trash at least some of the backup data, and if he deletes files from the TM backup using the Finder, he'll have essentially trashed the whole backup. He might as well have the ability to delete all the files on the machine if he has the power to delete backups.
Honestly, in this situation, he should either only be allowed to use an account with Parental Controls on, which may not be an option (I don't know how offended he would be at such a suggestion), or he should be using a different computer entirely and have no access at all to his wife's computer. Alternately, have his wife keep a backup that is hidden - ie, connect the backup drive periodically and then remove it and hide it so he can't mess with it. That will at least secure the backup.

Replace all references to files and folders with lowercase in web documents on a site

Hi I'm working on a test server that runs Ubuntu Unix (but my PC which has Dreamweaver CC is running Windows 8.1). I would like to search and replace in Dreamweaver to change all src and href attribute values inside files (webpages, css, etc.) on my site to lowercase, but with the folder and file names' spelling otherwise unchanged. I already changed the names of the actual files and folders, but wanted to make all references in my files point to them again. I started to use regular expressions in the specific tag search, but I was not sure how to specify letter case conversion on a backtracked value. Some flavors of RegEx allow you to replace a searched value in parentheses with its lowercase counterpart by specifying something like this: \L\1
Where \L converts the character captured in the reference \1 to lowercase. Thanks.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for your response. Yes, I tried. But I’m not sure you can use any RegEx special characters in the replacement text. I put in \L0 and it just replaced the match with the literal string, so href=”Support/Index.HTML” became href=”\L0”
What I want is href=”support/index.html”
The reason I didn’t use Dreamweaver to change the actual file and folder names is I have images widely dispersed in subfolders. I didn’t think Dreamweaver would automate that part—I think you can only select a file individually to rename it, and then DW will correct all references to it. But probably can’t rename everything with one command from the root. Well, this is turning out harder than I thought.
Let me know if you have any other ideas.
Thanks,
Dave.

Time Machine prepares back ups of 10GB and more with very little activity on my computer

I have an early 2008 iMac with a Samsung 750GBHD, and I am using a Time Machine since 4 years ago working pretty well.
As of beginning 2014 it started to show many errors but at the end of the day there were 1 or 2 back ups done. During this August I realized that back ups were of a size of 10Gb and more nearly every day while the activity of the computer was very light, internet and mail. I cut an anti virus that was working on the background with no success. There is no virus activity, the comp is clean.
What could be the reason for this abnormal activity?

Only way to find out is to analyse what is actually causing the large backups.
Have you installed the widget yet??

Or you can get a software app that tells you what TM is doing since it is hardly forthcoming.
