Why doesn't a wmv movie embedded in Powerpoint play, when I've downloaded Flip4Mac?

When I play the movie directly (outside Powerpoint) using FlipPlayer, there's no audio. When I play it using QuickTime, it plays fine. However when I try to play it in PowerPoint, it says Codec Unavailable and won't play at all.
The Powerpoint file was provided to me for training purposes. I'd prefer to not modify it if possible.
Thanks for your help.

Flip4Mac allows playback of most Windows Media Player formats via QuickTime Player.
QuickTime Player can't open Powerpoint files so something else on your machine (Keynote) is trying to view it. The Flip4Mac component only works with QuickTime Player so a .wmv file embedded in a .pps file will not play on a Mac.

Why can't I purchase movies on my iPad? When I hit buy it doesn't download.

Why can't I purchase movies on my iPad? When I hit buy it doesn't download.

Ok. That's strange. The download should show up immediately in the lower right. Even if it is stuck, you will se the red number. So something is blocking the purchase. Take a look at setting, restrictions, and see if something there is turned on that might be blocking you.

Why doesn't my slideshow burned to disc not play on my dvd player or game devices?

Why doesn't my slideshow burned to disc not play on my dvd player or game devices? I've created the slideshow using my Mac on OS X 10.6.8 & burned to both a CD-R & DVD disc. The disc does work on my computer; however will not play on my dvd player, projectors or gaming devices.

Did you use iDVD to create a video DVD or did you burn a Quicktime file version of your slideshow to a DVD disk via the Finder thus creating just a data disk?
If you didn't use iDVD then that's the reason the disk won't play on those other devices.

HT1373 why doesn't the mini ipad image appear in itunes when syncing

why doesn't the mini ipad image appear in itunes when syncing ?

It doesnt along with the Ipad 4th gen. I wouldnt worry about it, most likely it will when the new Itunes comes out.

Why doesn't the iPad pick up my camera videos when it syncs with my computer?

Why doesn't my iPad pick up my camera videos when syncing with my PC?

Some people have fixed this with a simple re-start of the phone, others needed to reset the Phone.

HT5622 Why is the App Store declining my active Visa card when trying to download a fee app?

Why dose the App Store keep declining my Visa card when trying to download free apps? The card information is accurate and there is money on it? It's driving me crazy!!!

Is your card still in date? Is the info Apple have valid?
i.e. have you made a purchase recently on the app store that was all OK?
I tried to download an app on my phone the other day using credit that was already applied to my account from a voucher. It asked me to update my card details (which I didn't have on me) which was frustrating as I wasn't even paying by those means!
In the end I went home and downloaded it from my computer and it was all OK. If you have itunes on your comp, try downloading through that and see if you have any joy that way.

Why does only the first movement of a symphony play?

I have all of Mahler's symphonies on Itunes. I try to play them on my Ipod and the first movement of each symphony plays and then it shuts off as if the album is done. Any ideas what I did in loading these CDs onto Itunes that could cause this?
In case you're wondering:
Each symphony is listed as an album, with each movement as a track of that album. The disk of symphony #1 says "disk 1 of 13". Part of a compliation: No. Include when shuffling: No.
Thanks for any help.

The Apple guy told me yesterday that you have to RECORD it first.
Start from the first slide and go thru all of them.
Then they will playback.

Help With Movie That Continues to play when an External Link text button is clicked

I'm using Captivate 3.
I have a movie with Various Text Buttons one of my buttons in this particular module i'm creating when clicked opens an external PDF file for viewing.
However, my movie in the background keeps playing when i need it to stay on that Menu Screen with the various buttons.
Ideally so the user when done viewing the External PDF can then click another button to continue to the section in the movie where they need to go for the Software Demonstration.
Any Ideas on how to get it to stop??? I thought i had it working yesterday but today its not.. Its possible i removed a duplicate Pause or something?
*UPDATE - just went in to check the pause settings.. It PAUSES CORRECTLY if i Click the external Link button Once.. but if i click it again.. it reopens the link and then the demonstration starts playing in the background..
Please help
Christina

My MOV videos do not play when I burn a DVD using iPhoto.

My MOV movies do not play when I burn a DVD using iPhoto. I can use the other method with my Mac to burn DVDs but the videos are not good quality like they are in my iPhoto albums. How can I get better quality in the DVD videos if I am unable to burn a DVD using iPhoto? I upgraded to the free Mavericks.

Hi
Most common origin to this are:
Brand of DVD used - NoName, Memorex etc cheap brands might work as Data-DVDs - BUT NOT as Video-DVDs
Type of DVD used - I only use SL-DVD-R as they also playback on older DVD-players. DVD+R for newer DVD-players. Never ever DVD+/-RW. Dual-Layers usually creates more problems than Single-Layers
BURN SPEED - Very IMPORTANT factor - I never go faster than x4 - Normally I use x2
Material used - Video Codec, Photo and Audio file formats
Video-Codec: StreamingDV, AIC and HDV (I use)
Photo: .jpg - NO .bmp or other - all converted to .jpg first
Audio: .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz (as on Audio-CDs) - NO .mp3, wma etc ailient formats - all converted to ..aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz first
Free Space: on Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard Disk - I never go less than 25Gb when doing Video-DVDs (for SD-Quality Video - if HD material is used 4-5 times more are a safe low level) (Other external Hard Disks - DO NOT COUNT as space here can not be addressed by Mac OS or iDVD for it’s massive use of .temp files)
Dusty DVD-burner Laser: I use a Cleaning DVD (no liquid but the one with brushes) from time to time.
Harmed DVD-burner Laser: Easy to do by burning more than three DVDs at a time - I let it rest for 30 minutes till next batch of three DVDs. If this happened - then only a costly repair will help. It will not heal by it self.
OBS: There are more than one Laser in the DVD-Burner so other functions might work OK as Playback CD/DVDs and even burn CDs. Still being broken.

Because corporate standards "assume" you will eventually buy a $200 application.

Why Doesn't "Gift This Movie" Work For HD Movies?

So I'm making up the list of movies I'd like for Christmas, only to discover there's no way for someone else to gift me the HD iTunes movies I want. To reproduce this, go to an HD movie like Kill Bill or Star Trek, click on the little arrow next to "Buy Movie", and the first option is "Gift this movie". Now do the same for the little arrow next to "Buy HD Movie"; there is no option for "Gift this movie".
What gives? So the only way someone can give me an HD iTunes movie for Christmas is to give me a gift card? That's pretty cheesy.
I have a hard time buying there is a logical explanation for this. It can't be that Apple is concerned that HD movies don't play on all Apple devices, since I assume that an SD version of the movie comes with the HD version (as it did, for instance, with Mad Men season 3). It can't be a requirement from the movie industry: if they've authorized the movie be made available in HD, why should they care if it is gifted? And clearly Apple already has the purchase / delivery / redemption mechanisms in place for gifting movies; why would HD movies matter?
Could this purely be a support issue? Apple is worried about people accidentally gifting HD movies to people who aren't prepared for a multi-GB download, and getting calls from upset customers?

I'm having this same problem. I would like to gift a couple HD movies for my parents' Christmas gifts in addition to an Apple TV. It doesn't look like there's an option to do this for HD movies. Has anyone else discovered a way to do this?
