Why do i get a "codec installation required" message when trying to play avi files?
Probably because you do not have an audio and/or video codec used for compressing/decompressing data in the AVI file. AVI, like MOV, are just file containers capable of holding many different kinds of data. The originator of the AVI file (Microsoft) dropped its official support of this file type more than a decade ago but its popularity with Windows users lingers on. Unfortunately, with few exceptions, the compression formats commonly used in the AVI file container may or may not still be in use. Some were never transcoded for use on the Mac platform. Others are so old that they have never been updated for use under OS X. Of thise transcoded for OS X use, some have not been updated for Intel based platforms. Thus, while QT supports the container itself, it does not natively support the third-party and/or proprietary codecs used, many of which, are now classed as "legacy" codecs and are out of date in terms of today's video compression technology.

    Why do I get a session timed out message in iTunes when I try to redeem a gift card?

    I had similar problem. My old Mac (also OS X (10.4.11) was out of sync. The reset clock strategy I read about elsewhere did not work for me. But, selecting Manage > Change Country (at the bottom of itunes window) and selecting (reselecting?) my country did correct the problem.

  • Why do I get the sequence reloading warning message? Is there a way to default it?

    I am running several test sequences simultaneously. I modified the test sockets used in the TS process models to specify the sequence file that I want to run in each socket. However, when I trigger the execution, no matter which sequences I have opened, I always get this message:
    "The file 'Sequence File.seq' has been modified outside of the sequence editor. Do you want to reload it? Yes/No"
    This message appears only the first time that I execute after opening TS. Once I click No, I can continue without problems (However, choosing Yes would freeze TS).
    I don't know exactly why I am getting this message. I suppose somewhere when the test socket gets initialized, the sequence gets loaded
    in memory, and then compares it with the file and ask for reloading.
    Is there a way to always answer NO to this reloading prompt message? Or any clue about why am I getting this prompt?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Unfortunatelly there is no option to automatically reload the sequences that got modified outside the current application.
    I'm not quite sure why you are getting this message. However, since you mentioned you modified the process model, I have a couple of suggestions:
    1) Make sure you are not modifing your sequences at runtime. Usually you get this message when you modify properties under SequenceFile. This is the File object and if you change it, TS may reload it.
    2) When you call your sequences, also make sure you have the same prototype for the parameters your sequence is expecting and the ones you are sending.
    Maybe you can gice us some more details about how you executing this sequences and how you modified the process model.

  • TS2363 Why do I get a runtime error R6034 message when installing iTunes 11.1.4.62 on my WIn XP (SP3) system?

    iTunes prompted me to download and install the newest version of iTunes (11.1.4.62). I followed all on-screen prompts. iTunes installation gets to the very end, then I get a popup stating that I have a Runtime Error # R6034 "an application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information. Okay, I am doing that. FYI, I am runnning Windows XP (SP3). Oh, and BTW, now iTunes is COMPLELETY unusable, and I cannot synch any of my multiple iOS devices. Help please!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Why do I get "can't access device" message while using Safari?

    I am traveling in Mexico with my friend who has a Sony Vaio running Vista. I have a white MacBook (early 2008) running OS X 10.5.6. We choose hotels offering wireless internet, and my friend has no trouble anywhere, where I have trouble everywhere. BIG disappointment, since I'm always bragging on Apple. I have the feeling I my have done something dumb with the internet connection utility in "System Preferences"- could that be it?
    Some questions about what has been happening:
    A) why does "internet" (the utility in sys pref) sometimes tell me that I am connected when Safari says I am not?
    B) Other times it tells me I'm not connected when Safari is the process of connecting successfully.
    C) Why does it say I need a password when I don't? THIS IS THE MOST CONSISTENT MISTAKE IT MAKES
    D)When I do need a password it often says "password invalid" when I type correct one.
    E) I get "could not open communication device" WHILE Apple.com is actually loading! and even after I have been using it for 5 or so minutes.
    Finally, if I have to re-install Safari, can I do it on line? (provided I can get on line).

    Try resetting the App Store.

  • Why am I getting a "Disk Full" error message when attempting to export?

    I am trying to export my movie at large quality or higher and every time it gives me a "disk full" error. However, I was able to successfully export it at medium quality. I don't understand why I would be getting that error though because both my internal hard drive and external drive, which I am exporting from (but onto the internal), have ample amount of space to accommodate for a large or HD quality video. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
