Why can't others open my imovie posted on my web gallery?

I created a webpage thru iWeb, and have created a hyper-link to an imovie I uploaded to web gallery. Several people I know have had trouble viewing the movie from my web gallery. Some have received a message, "you must install Safari to open". I thought that any computer could open the movie (MAC or IBM)? Why are some having trouble opening the imovie from my webgallery? It opens up on my computer from hyper-link just fine... My webpage address is //web.me.com/nicolewillis2 ... go under 'minute maid' link and click the soccer ball.. Please help

What format is your movie? I had trouble with it playing - very slow and therefore not streaming well. Did you compress for the web? I must admit I am no expert when it comes to movies but mine are exported for the web using Quicktime Pro or compressed using Visual Hub. I am using Firefox 2.
Just tried in Safari and it is marginally better but some frames are dark and can't be seen very well.

Why can not I open WinRAR and WinZIP via MS Web Folder?

Why can not I open WinRAR and WinZIP via MS Web Folder?
For example, If you attempt to open the zip-file error: "Invalid fileid: <file name> ".

Hi -
I am unable to replicate your issue. I am able to open winzip files just fine through MSWebFolders. Your Windows client may have an older version of the Web Folder Client (MSDAIPP.DLL). Can you find that file on computer (should be in common files\system\oledb) and check the version (right click --> properties -->version flag). We support 12.0.6415.1000. There may be issues with older versions of that file (some of those issues are discussed here - http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/webfolder-client-list.html).
Office 2007 SP2 provides the most recent version of MSDAIPP.DLL

Newbie Question: Why can't I open my iMovie project in FCP?

Hello all--
I'm sure some variation of this question has been posted a bajillion times but I can't seem to find the answer. At this point I feel like a damsel in distress. Rescue me?
I've been working with iMovie for about two years now and I've recently been learning Final Cut Pro to up the ante on my videos. However, when I tried to import an iMovie project into FCP yesterday, it didn't quite work. Let me explain what I did and what happened:
1) I exported my (edited but previously unpublished) iMovie project by clicking Share>Export Final Cut XML
2) I opened FCP and clicked File>Import>XML and then selected the XML, leaving all the boxes checked
3) FCP imported the project as a sequence; however, the entire sequence reads "Media Offline" in the Canvas.
4) I clicked File>Reconnect Media and the list of offline files is overwhelming. I tried my luck by clicking "locate" and going to my imovie folders to find the clips, but even when the browser allowed me to select a clip, when I double clicked it, nothing in the sequence changed - it's all still "offline."
I really don't know much about media management, I'll admit - I'm wondering if maybe iMovie saves edited clips in a folder other than the events or originals folder - maybe the edited clips become "temporary items"? I know I have a ridiculous amount of imovie cache and temporary items and I never touch them because there are just so many of them and I don't want to mess anything up. But could the files that FCP claims to be "offline" in fact be located in these "temporary" folders? I mean, I've looked everywhere else on my hard drive and nothing is working! Sorry, I am probably just confusing myself MORE (and you), but maybe SOMEONE will know what in the world I should do
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the family. I don't think many of us have ever used iMovie so your post might be more quickly answered in that forum.
My suggestion is to forget trying to move the project. Rebuild it in FCP. The exercise will teach you much more about your new software than fighting XML.
If you don't feel like doing that, try a smaller iMovie project, something with only two or three clips and one dissolve.
The larger issue is probably how iMovie stores its captured media which is completely different from how FCP does it. And the format is different. FCP does not, IIRC, view iMovie's default dvstream codec. You will want to export your movie clips as DV.

Why can't I open my iMovie projects?

Hello!
I have upgraded to the new iMovie, but I have had this problem before too. So I have an External Hard Drive (It's called "Seagate") that I have saved iMovie projects for a while now because I needed more space on my Mac. But I can't open the projects anymore? I can't even click on them. It just showes me this:
Can anyone help me to understand how to open it? Or is it impossible and the project is gone forever? Please help, I would be so thankfull.

Did you update your iMovie 9 projects from within imovie 10?
See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov902ad0c31
I'm puzzled where your screen shot comes from. Top left on the iMovie 10 window should display "LIBRARIES", followed by"All Events" and "All Projects". Below this there should be an entry for each library.

Why can't I open a PHP file as a web page in FF7? I could until I upgraded to 7 today.

I am a web designer and test sites on my local machine (3.06GHz 24" iMac with Mac OS 10.6.8). I open and preview all pages before uploading to my server. I have been doing this with Firefox for YEARS.
Today I foolishly "upgraded" to version 7 and now it is impossible to open any page with the .php file type. If I try, I get a dialog box asking if I want to save or open the file. If I select Open and choose Firefox as the default application, it just loops back to the same dialog box.
There has got to be a way around this since I was able to do it before upgrading.

Hi Rob_Jones-
I would recommend reading this Support article, as it troubleshoots issues with opening/downloading files:

Hope that helps.

Why can't other computers open my photos from Iphoto or down load them? they don't show up as an icon.

Why can't other computers open and/or download my photos when I email themfrom IPhoto? Have also tried making it a separate file on my desk; to no avail.
It shows as an icon and jpeg when it goes out from my computer but they can't download it.
They might see the photo imbedded in the emil but it doesn't appear as a downloadable icon.
Thank you for your help.

I think I can help. I use Mac but my secretary uses PC.
Make a file on your desktop and name it "test"
Go to iPhoto and click on a photo to send to this folder
Go to file and choose "export"
Pop up window - Kind: jpeg
quality: maximum
size: full
click on export and choose the "test" folder you created on the desktop.
You can now send any jpeg that you put in this folder from an email account by "attaching file" from within the email. If you have more than one jpeg, right click on the folder and choose "compress file"

Why can't I open pdf file? Get a black box with a white x in the upper left hand corner that won't open either

I get the same thing... no matter what site i try to pull a pdf for IE10, it gives me the black x... if i use chrome it works, but my client does not want to use a different browser.
I followed the guide that Pat posted... nothing worked... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java, Adobe reader, Adobe flash,.. upgraded to IE11, then back to IE10 due to medical software that is not compatable with IE11...
The kicker is that my Admin profile works just fine.. no issues.. so i know it has something to do with his profile....

Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone?

Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone any more? I used to be able to open most but now I can't open any. Now it just comes up with a message 'unable to play video.Check your internet connection and try again' There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. I am on wifi and full signal strength. This is happening on both ipad and iphone. It's not the problem where sometimes a video wants Adobe to open it. This message comes up as soon as you try to click on the video play button in the video. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this please?

Thanks for this Griff but it's not the app that isn't responding. I am in the facebook app (on both iPhone and iPad) and the app is working fine but if people post a video I can't look at the video on the iPhone or iPad. i always used to be able to but now it keeps coming up with the message I mentioned above. So I can no longer watch videos from facebook on either my iPad or iPhone. Here is a screen shot of my phone of what is happening. As you can see I have full wifi so there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. This is really annoying as I used to be able to watch videos on both phone and ipad out of facebook. now I can't. Hope you can help. regards and thanks Vicki

Why can't I import old imovies into idvd?

Why can't I import old imovies into idvd?

I have 68 GB free and the movie is a small one. The iDVD file is on my hard drive and in the dock.
Today I found a work around for this problem. While I cannot open the original movie, I can access the clips in the media folder. I put the clips together and made a new movie. And I can import this to iDVD by going to "share" in the menu and selecting iDVD.

I just downloaded Lion, why can't I open Word?

I just downloaded Lion, why can't I open Word?

If they are all PPC-only applications, then yes. CS2 is incompatible with Intel machines. Not knowing how old your iMovie version is, but if it goes back to the same time period then it won't work either until you upgrade all the old software to Intel or Universal binaries from the respective developers.
You can revert back as follows. Erase the drive and restore your Snow Leopard backup or:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

Why can't I open my Hotmail or MSN live emails on my mac?

Why can't I open my Hotmail or MSN live emails on my mac? also the google pages like google map will not open
Is this some kind of sick joke being played by APPLE for not having bought a Mac before and for daring to have a windows based email ?
I've tried Firefox, Safari, Opera and Explorer none of them will allow the window pages to open up nor can I get Mail to open up my non yahoo emails
I have tried to post this on the communities board several times but the question always vanishes

So you get the log-in screen for Hotmail but it won't complete the log-in? I also take it from your posts that there is no error message that appears to give any indication of the nature of a problem, it just doesn't complete the log in? That sounds like it could be an issue with your Hotmail account. Have you tried logging onto your Hotmail account from another computer, say a computer from work? If not, then the first thing to do is try logging in from another computer. If you don't have one anywhere else, go to a public library and use one of theirs and try logging into your Hotmail.
There is no reason why you would be blocked from Hotmail/Live, Google pages and such while other pages (such as this) are accessible unless one of a few things are happening:
1) You don't have access to those pages because of account lock-out (that's why you need to check your ability to access Hotmail from another computer -- to verify that this is not the case).
2) Something is actively blocking access to those pages. This could be one of a few things:
     a) ISP settings, which you seem to have eliminated when you indicate that you tried accessing Hotmail from another location than your default location, if in fact that other is connected through a different ISP, although in actual fact you did not indicate that you verified that the other access point you tried was actually connecting via another ISP.
     b) Router settings, which you did pretty much eliminate when you tried accessing Hotmail from another location than your default location.
     c) Software blocking. This could include the following:
          * Add-ins: You seem to have eliminated the likely hood of this when you indicate that you've tried multiple browsers.
          * Security software: Family blocking/URL blocking software would cause similar issues across all browsers. If you had installed anything of this nature, this would be a suspicion.
There is one red flag I see amongst all this. You indicate that you have a Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.7 with membership in these forums showing a start date of March this year, your posts suggest that you recently purchased a Mac, and that your prior posts have disappeared (son't know how far back you were meaning, although I do see one from 3 days ago posted in the Windows section). My question has to do with something you wrote earlier in this thread: "I've tried Firefox, Safari, Opera and Explorer". Uh, would that be Microsoft Internet Explorer? How do you have that installed?
