WHAT DO I NEED TO SEE .AVI FILES?!?!?!??!?!

Hey, I have uploaded videos from my digital camera, and the videos are in .avi format. When Quicktime opens them, I can hear all the sound, but there is no visual. I have tried playing it with DIVX and that doesn't work neither. Does anyone know what I need to do to play these files?
Thanks,
Alex
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Alex,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
Download and install these: 3ivx D4, DivX for Mac and Flip4Mac WMV. With these QuickTime extensions you should be able to play almost all video formats.

Do you mean that you have no "video" yet sound?
Do you get any "need plugin and/or codec" messages?
The following plays avi files. See if they solve your issue.

You would need ACR 7.x which is available in CS6. Or as ertho said you can get the free DNG 7.3 converter and convert raw to a DNG.

Problems seeing avi files in finder

Hi,
I've recntly switched to mac and I have been copying a load of stuff to my new machine from my old PC. The trouble that I am having is that i can't see some DivX AVI files when I look for them in finder (the folder they are in looks as if it is empty). When I look for the files using spotlight search or if I go through a program and get to the file though file and open I can see the files normally.
Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?

Hi Turbo Slicer,
Finder has some trouble refreshing the contents of folders after you perform some operations like unzipping copying and moving so all you need to do is create a blank folder in the apparently but not so empty folder and then delete the untitled new folder. This is the easiest and fastest way i've found. I'm hoping it will go away eventually with an OS update.
Good Luck

Need help with .avi files

Hi everyone. I just got an iMac for Christmas. I've been a PC user all my life, so I'm new to some of this stuff. My question is about .avi movie clips.
I have a Casio Exilim digital camera. As soon as I set up my iMac I uploaded all data from my digital camera. I have several short movie clips in iPhoto. I can hear the audio, but I don't see video. How can I watch the videos on my new computer and use iMovie.
Thanks in advance for your help!

AVI is a container type, a container can contain any number of audio and video compression types, some of which may be editable and some not, some of which may be compatible with imovie and some not.
QT Pro (and a number of other 3rd party applications) may help you convert these files to an appropriate format. It would help if we knew what compression types are used, you can determine this by opening the movie in QT and choosing inspector from the window menu.
AVI is a very old MS proprietary format, it was even abandoned by MS over 10 years ago, unfortunately there is a small possibility AVI files can contain long forgotten compression types which there are no converters for, although since your files are from a modern camera this is quite unlikely.
Report back with the compression types and someone will help further.

(need help) Replacing AVI files with MOV files in a edit.

I'm working on a large edit that uses low res AVI files for editing,
Though all the high res files are written as MOV's with exactly the same name (just being a different filetype)
Is there a way to automaticly re-link all those avi movies with those high res MOV files?
The edit is quite big, so it would save me a very tedious job

Close Premiere. Change the name of the folder the current AVI files are in. Reopen Premiere. When it asks you where the files are, point it to the new ones.
The only stumbling block may be the different extension. I'm not sure if Premiere will pass that by or trip over it.

Need help with .AVI files...they won't display.

Hello, I jsut installed Premier Elements 12, now my .AVI files will not display.

Putting aside copyright issues in (naive?) belief you have a legitimate use of the material, your problem lies in the file or disk. One of them is either corrupt or not compatible with the drive you are trying to read it on. Try it on another computer (even a PC) and if you can read it on that computer make a new copy of the file on a new disk or a firewire drive (or USB stick if it fits).

What do i need to access my files from any internet connection

I'm a bit confused, i've found some good videos on youtube on setting up the server but can't get the file shareing to work (of course the only reason i got the server). Some have told me i need a dyns routing service, so i used machighway.com but i still could not connect to my server from any internet conection outside of my home wifi. Now i've been told that i need VPN to be able to do that. So i'm hoping that someone can help clear this up and point me in the right direction. I can connect to the server using my Mac book air over my wifi (using an airport extreme). please help, i've had this server for half a year and have yet to be able to use it for what i intended.
(i upgraded the server to OS X Mountan Lion, and upgraded the app to OS X Server)

Here's how I did it.
-Open a free account at no-ip.org
-Download their app, change your server's hostname to the hostname you selected for your brand new no-ip.org account. Ideally you'd perform this step on a clean install of the Server since changing the hostname can mess a lot of the services up.
-You'll be able to tell it's working by enabling the Websites service and visiting your new no-ip.org hostname in a web browser. You should see the default server page.
If you have follow up questions for me, I don't read this forum much but I am on reddit a lot and I'm trying to start a new subreddit for mac servers: http://reddit.com/r/macserver . Post a thread on there.

What do I need to download "sh" files to a flash drive on my Mac?

I have a new Viking Husqvarna sewing machine 960Q. The software update instructions from Husqvarna are:
Download the update software and unzip it to a USB stick. Save the file at the root level, do not place the file in any folder.
The updates are in "sh" format and the Husqvara "help desk" said I need a Winzip program. I tried that but found nothing yet that opens an "sh" file. Please don't make me do terminal stuff! There has to be an easy way!

Here's what I get using Text Edit:

Is this considered the "root file?" I'm not how to copy this directly to my USB stick without a folder as the Husqvarna instructions dictate?

Need to see ALL files in folder when saving from Word 2003 OR Word 2013 program

Here is the issue.... A customer of mine has the need to save files in order (Communications with customers by date and time)
BUT..... when saving the file word does not let him see ALL the documents (.doc AND .docx) in the save dialog. (I know we could convert but there seems to be issues with the conversion, at least on the research I have done)
Is there a way for the Word save dialog box to display ALL the files in the selected folder? OR is this just an undocumented feature OR a WOW we never thought of that....
Thanks!
John

Hi,
When we save a Word document, the "Save As" dialog only displays these files which are the same type as the one we are trying to save. To display other types of files, select from the "Save as type" box, but I haven't realized there's a way to show
all types of files when saving. This is just how it works so far.
Thanks,

FAQ: What do I need to know about file associations when I load Photoshop CS6?

Use Windows control panel to establish the file association.
This solution uses Photoshop as an example. For any other product, replace that product's filename extension and executable name with the product and file type you are attempting to restore.
Windows 7/Vista
Choose Start > Control Panels.
Change to list view:
Double-click Default Programs.
   4. Click Associate A File Type.
   5. Select .PSD from the list.
Click Change Program.
If your desired version of Photoshop is listed, choose, it. Otherwise, click Browse to locate it and click Open.
Ensure the "Always use the selected program..." option is selected. Click OK to close the Open With dialog box.
Double-click an .PSD file to ensure that it opens with your preferred version of Photoshop.
On Windows 7, click the View By pop-up menu and choose Small Icons.
Windows Vista, click Classic View in the upper left.
Windows XP
       Choose Start > Control Panels > Folder Options.
       Click the File Types Tab.
       Select PSD from the list.
Note: If you do not have PSD in the list of extensions, skip ahead to the next section, Create a filename extension.
       Click Advanced.
       Select the Open action, and click Edit
       Click Browse and navigate to the Photoshop.exe for your version. Select it and click Open.
Note: Make sure that the resulting value in the Application Used textbox has the following syntax, especially the "%1" (with quotes included). If it does not, manually edit the field contents so that it does:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
       Select Use PSD and click OK to close the New Action dialog box.
       Click OK to close the Edit File Type dialog box.
       Click Close to close the Folder Options dialog box.
      Double-click an .PSD file to ensure that it opens with your preferred version of Photoshop.
How to associate files for Photoshop CS5 with Bridge CS5 and Photoshop CS6 with Bridge CS6
1. CS6 assigns all standard graphics files to be associated with CS6 and thus causes Bridge CS5 to invoke Photoshop CS6. The objective is to have Bridge CS5 invoke Photoshop CS5 at least for chosen file types. Ensure neither CS5 nor CS6 is invoked.
2. In the Win7 Start Menu search box, type "file association".
3. Select the "Change the file type associated with a file extension". This starts a window titled "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program".
4. All of the graphic files are assocated with Photoshop CS6.   For those files you want to associate with Photoshop CS5, click on the chosen file extension (e.g. .cr2, .nef, .psd, etc) and click on the "Change Program" to associate the extension to Adobe Photoshop CS5. (note. this step seems to be a necessary operation since, when I simply modified the Bridge CS5 file type associations, Bridge 5 did not honor the change).
5. Start Bridge CS5. Choose "Edit -> Preferences -> File Type Associations".
6. For each file type you wish opened in CS5, change the association from CS6: choose the "Browse" option and locate the CS5 version of Photoshop.exe". This is probably in Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)/Photoshop.exe. Click on OK to complete the association.
Now you can invoke Bridge CS5 and it will properly invoke Photoshop CS5. If you invoke Bridge CS6, it will invoke Photoshop CS6. If you use file manager to invoke one of your selected file extension types, it will start Photoshop CS5. Other graphic files will start Photoshop CS6.
If you wish, you can go back and reassociate the chosen types to PhotoshopCS 6 - but your Bridge 5 will still invoke PS5 for your chosen extensions since the Bridge-assigned file associations takes priority over the windows default program.

What do I need to read .wps file attachments?

I received a .wps file as an e-mail attachments and can't open it. I do not have windows on my Mac. Is there someway my Mac can read this? Is there some program I need in order to open this file?

It's a Microsoft Works file, specifically a text document, Microsoft Word will open it, I don't think anything else can, it is old software.

What do I need to create PDF files on my iPad?

So, in trying to resolve the frustration I am having in using Adobe Reader for iOS to create PDFs (without having to pay Adobe another 25% of my current Creative Cloud subscription....) I logged a sales eqnuiry via Adobe website.
I get a call back withint a couple of hours. Not bad.
He immediately asks how many computers I have enabled for my Creative Cloud account. Only one, I say.
Well, he says, then you can install Creative Cloud on your iPad.
No I can't, I said - Creative Cloud for iPad is a very skinny client, only handles Photoshop, and view some file formats. Not a full Acrobat function.
Oh, he says, let em check. Eventually comes back. Yes, you are right he says. You have to pay us another $15 per month on top of the $50 per month Creative Crowd (even though CC already includes Acrobat Pro) you already pay, just so you can create PDFs on your iPad.
That's ridiculous, I say - Adobe does not know how customers want to use your products. More people are going to use a desktop plus tablet - or laptop only. But if I have a desktop and a laptop I can have Creative Cloud on both. I accept that they are different OS, but don't make excuses like "Acrobat.com is a different product to Acrobat Pro" - I already pay for the latter in my CC subscription, so why should I be price gouged another 25%? Makes Adobe look plain greedy - and still they don't want to pay tax in Australia....
If it was no more than $5 per month on top of the CC subscription, maybe I would go for it - but anything more is DAYLIGHT ROBBERY in my opinion.

Hi GrattanGuru,
You have creative cloud subscription as you have mentioned. Under Adobe Reader to convert PDF to other formats Adobe offers online service called Acrobat.com services: https://www.acrobat.com/en_us.html
That would be the reason support person might have told you on call, that you have to pay for that service.
Under creative cloud you are getting Adobe applications. However under Acrobat.com you are getting online services which are providing Acrobat functions online.

Ajlan Huda.
