  • Why do i get a "codec installation required" message?

    Why do i get a "codec installation required" message when trying to play avi files? Im using QT7 on a mac, v10.6.7?, Why do i get a "codec installation required" message when trying to play avi files? Im using QT7 on a mac, v10.6.7?

    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support the third-party and/or proprietary codecs used, many of which, are now classed as "legacy" codecs and are out of date in terms of today's video compression technology.

    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.

  • Why do I keep getting the security code invalid message when trying to change my credit card info. Being trying to get this right for 3 days

    My old credit card expired so I'm putting in new information but I keep getting this message security code invalid.  Why?

    Hi BT54,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, I'm not sure if this is causing the issue but it is a possible cause. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Payment methods you can use in the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support
    If you create an account for a child under 13* in Family Sharing, you must use a credit card as the payment method. After you create the child’s Apple ID, however, you can change your payment method back to a debit card.
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • Why im not getting my security questions reset email ?

    i created my apple id a long time ago , and i forgot my security questions anwsers and my apple id is constantly asking for them !
    i tried resetting by email and the destination email is correct but im not getting any mail what so ever !
    what should i do ?

    You won't be able to change the rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, so you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

    Which version of Firefox do you have (Help > About Firefox) ?
    You can get such a message if you are running a Firefox 3.5.x version.
    The Firefox 3.5.x branch has reached end-of-life and is no longer maintained.<br />
    You will no longer receive security updates for that version.<br />

  • Why do I get a cracking/popping sound when recording?

    Ever since I updated to OSX Mountain Lion, I am having trouble with Garageband.
    The issue is that as soon as the sound starts to build up, then the cracking and popping sounds begin, interrupting the recording. I use two types of microphones, the M-Audio for voice and ONE by Apogee for my guitar, and so far I have had excellent results.I have restarted the application and even changed microphones, but the problem persists.
    The problem gets worse when you export the song to iTunes, where all the cracks and interruptions show up, ruining the song.
    Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution?

  • Why do I get multiple security machine dialog boxes when I open Firefox, Windows and Mac?

    Whenever I open Firefox, I am asked for my security machine password multiple times. Seems to be connected to how many tabs open (on Windows) and is always three (3) on Mac. I have Sxipper.

    Strange, since Google is unlikely to do that. Maybe it was an bundled installer masquerading as the official one?
    To start your clean-up efforts, please check your home page setting. Do you get the 3 tabs when you press Command+n to launch a new window? If so, the extra URLs may be tacked on to your home page setting in the Preferences dialog. These articles describe where to find that. Note that it can be difficult to see the full details of that field due to limited space available, so often it is easier to delete it all and paste in just the URL you want.
    * [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    * [[How to set the home page]]
    Next, please check your extensions, as they can override your settings. I suggest disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Command+Shift+a
    * Tools menu > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. (Or if obviously bad, remove.)
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?

  • Why do I get a empty pop-up tab when I use firefox?

    When ever I start firefox, a few seconds later, another tab will open up on it's own and it is empty. I continually have to close it and then a few seconds later, it opens again. What ever the page is, it has a statement saying firefox has prevented this window from opening etc....with an allow exception. It does seem to be a pop-up but my pop-up blocker is on. I did uninstall firefox and re-installed it. Is it a setting on a certain website or is it in Mozilla?
    Thanks.....Jason

    Just for reference as this thread is a few months old... When you uninstall Firefox, some settings, files and even add-ons can remain behind, and they are not in the folder where Firefox was installed. When you install Firefox again, those settings can come into play just as they did before. In your case, just doing a "Reset Firefox" procedure will, most likely, yield a different result as it should "unhook" the new install from the old stuff. If you want to uninstall and reinstall, doing a "Reset" before you uninstall can help your new install to be a clean one. In any case, a "Reset" is always the safest way to have Firefox '''permanently''' return to the cleanest state that it can. The Reset function ''tries'' very hard to keep your bookmarks, etc. and it is usually successful at doing that - I've never lost them. For testing purposes, restarting Firefox in Safe Mode (without clicking "Reset") should provide the same "Clean" environment. Now, having said all that, if you have a virus or malware you can throw all that out the window as it probably won't help. Scan as suggested, reboot and then proceed with whatever troubleshooting you think is necessary. Hope this helps...
    EDIT: One last thought... What is your default Home Page. That page COULD be spawning your popups. Change the "Settings" to use "about:home" for a test.

  • Why do I keep getting a Norton pop up message "High CPU useage with Firefox"?

    I am not running any other applications when I get this message. Do I need to make some kind of setting change on my PC?

    IMO, the detection threshold is set too low in that Norton app. Contact Norton support to find out how to set it higher, or how to turn it off.
    Or quit using Norton. ''I hate the garbage they sell. IMO, it is good for one thing, making money for retailer's and for helping PC techs make money fixing what it does to PC's their customers bring in for repairs.''
