Viewing avi and wmv files with QT 10.1 and OS 10.7.4

In the last couple days, I think since I installed the last upgrade in the OS, my QT is 'unable to complete the process' of opening wmv files.
Months ago, I think after I upgraded to Lion, QT stopped allowing me to view avi files. The file opens, and I can scroll through the content, but to 'play' button doesn't work. I can still view those files using DivX Player 8.2.2.
These are all files that used to work just fine with QT. Is there anything I can do to restore this functionality to QT?

Use only QT 7 for those.
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac and operating system, of:
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac

Can I view .WMV files with 10.7?

Can I view .wmv files with OS 10.7.2?

Mac OS X has no native ability to view WMV files, but you can download and install the free codecs from Flip4Mac:
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
and use QuickTime Player. Note that not all WMV codecs have been ported to Mac, nor has the copy protection system, so not all videos will work.

I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

That is because you don't have a web server configured and running to serve the html page. In order to see the page in a browser you need to access it using a url similar to http://localhost/~yourUserName if you are serving the page from your user account.
Prior to Mountain Lion you could go into web sharing and turn on the web server. With Mountain Lion there is no option, other than using terminal, to turn on the web server. The web sharing menu item has been removed in Mountain Lion. Apache is still on your computer but it will take a little searching these forums or the Internet to find how to turn it on.
If you want a graphic user interface to turn on/off the Apache server you could download and install a server application like xampp, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. I use this and it works well.

For the D600 NEF's you have two alternatives: (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software) Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3 Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3 You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click.

Why can't I open pps and wmv files sent by email!

Many friends send photos and/or files with pps and wmv designations. Windows continually rejects them with the message that it is unable to open them.
How can I fix this?

I don't know. What exactly happens? (Exactly - including all error messages in full please) What is your computer (e.g. Windows 7), browser, and email program?

How do you play MPG and WMV files on a MAC?

I am no longer able to play MPG and WMV files on my MAC. I have Flip4MAC, which is I think what I used to use to play them (but not sure). All I know is that I used to be able to before but now they won't play. Do I need some sort of different software or has Microsoft started making these files in a way that won't allow MAC users to play them? If anyone is kind enough to help, please explain in the most basic terms as I'm not that computer literate.

If the .mpg/.mpeg files are non-rights-protected you should be able to play them in Quicktime or iTunes. If the wmv files are non-rights-protected you should be able to use Flip4Mac. If the mpg/mpeg or wmv files are rights-protected you'll need the software or subscription that allows you to view copyrighted files.

Problem opening files with Mac OS Mavericks and Elements

I have recently installed Mac OS 10.9.x Mavericks. Since this I have had problems opening files in Elements 11. I upgraded to Elements 12, blindly hoping the problem would fix itself, however it hasn't.   When I try to open a file the Finder window pops up then disappears immediately. Occasionally it will stay open until I scroll down but then closes.   I keep the files on an external drive but the drive is working with all other applications, so I don't think it is that. If anyone has had a similar problem and has any ideas I would be grateful as the program is unusable for now. Thanks very much in anticipation

Hi Sjmitc, I followed Barbara's instructions about only about 24 hours ago and since then my files have been opening perfectly. I tried it again before replying to you and they are still opening fine.
I did have to go through my files a couple of times to find all the Elements preferences, but the solution is working fine so far. I will let you know if I have any further problems. It is maddening when it happens, so I hope you can fix yours.
Best of Luck

Henwen, Is this solution still working for you? I tried this same solution on mine a few days ago and had no luck. However, it actually let me open files this afternoon then when I went back in later today, it was doing the disappearing act again.

Quick Time Player doesn't open WMV files with a double click.

After I download a WAV file and double click on the file; a message appears install "Quick Time Player must be installed to run this application;" however when I open Quick Time Player and select the file it plays with no issues. My question is why would I be getting this message after upgrading to Snow Leopard?

you do have QT player installed. you just need to associate wmv files with it. select a .wmv file in finder and enter command+i. in the popup go to the "open with" section set it to open with QT player and click "change all".

I can't open a .wmv file with quicktime player. Shouldn't I be able to?

No. To do so you need to install Flip4Mac WMV Player 2.4.4.2.

I have my camera (Canon 5D Mark 2) set to take both JPEG Large and Raw files with each shot. I uploaded the images from the card to my Pro (Aperture 3) and while the import info said 1500 images were uploaded, I can't find the RAW images. Aperture put about 700 images in an untitled project folder, but all the images are the JPEGs. What am I missing?
Thanks,
upsjdris

Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
Photos > Use Raw as original.

Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?

Do we need to format data and log files with 64k cluster size for sql server 2012?
Does this best practice still applies to sql server 2012 & 2014?

Yes. The extent size of SQL Server data files, and the max log block size have not changed with the new versions, so the guidance should remain the same.

I have CS2. I shot RAW files with my Nikon D90 and now cannot open them in PS. I heard there was a plug-in to download for this, but cannot find it. Help?

I have CS2. I shot RAW files with my Nikon D90 and now cannot open them in PS. I heard there was a plug-in to download for this, but cannot find it. Help?

You would need at least CS3 with ACR 4.6 to natively edit NEFs from a D90 in PS:

It might also work to use the DNG Converter 4.6 or newer to convert the NEF files to DNGs and then those might open in your older CS2 ACR, but I’m not sure, since it’s a 9 year old program I haven’t used in years.
The DNG Converter can be found, here:
