Window's media player

I am trying to download window's media player. I have read posts and found that I need to download stuffit expander first, so I did that and when I tried to open in it says Error Opening Movie: movie could not be opened. I am trying to open it in Quicktime. am I doing something wrong? this has been my message for literally everything I have tried to download including windows media player.

The image I downloaded from that URL was called : Flip4MacWMV_v2_1_024.dmg - that mounts on the Desktop and shows as Flip4Mac WMV.mpkg and when run it installs fine on this MacBook Pro running OSX 10.4.6
Once restarted, in Safari/Firefox the 'about:plugins' command shows:
Flip4Mac WMV Plugin MASTERFRIENDLY_BUILDVERSION
File name: Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.plugin
The Flip4Mac WMV Plugin allows you to view Windows Media content using QuickTime.

I can't get Window's Media Player to recognize my new ipod shuffle. Does anyone have a solution/, I can't get Window's Media Player to recognize my new ipod shuffle. Does anyone have a solution?

I can't get Window's Media Player to "recognize" my new ipod shuffle. Does anyone have a solution? When I pull the ipod shuffle up in Devices and Printers, it says it needs Troubleshooting, but the Troubleshooting provides no solution.

Windows Media Player? As far as I know, that won't work. You need to install iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
That will install the software you need to use your shuffle with your computer.

HP Pavilion dv5 Window's Media Player suddenly stopped playing CDs

When I first got my computer the Windows Media Player played cds just fine, but all of a sudden today it wouldn't play a couple of my cds. And after my only actual cd player broke my laptop has been my only cd player, so this is very aggravating. How do I get my Window's Media Player to play my CDs?

Classic 160 ipod / windows vista media player stops working

After I download itunes and Quiktime along with my ipod classic 160, my windows media player stops playing dvd's & cd's. Any fixes known. I've tried regedit using the register editor 3 times with no luck. Like the ipod but to uninstall itunes everytime I want to watch a dvd / listen to a cd, is a pain in the backside. Thanks for sharing. PS. I've contacted Gateway,Apple,Microsoft with no luck. Statements mostly heard are sorry can't help and to contact the others I previously typed. Pass the buck. wish I had bought the zune.

Try to remove the old (Npdsplay dll in the plugins list) WMP plugin in case that is used.
The embed for Firefox has autostart="1" not not autostart=false (0) like the object for IE.

Now i have tried to drag music files using file add file to itunes and it wont drag. Help me please...this is about to give me a nervous breakdown....i have a ton of music to convert and dont want to burn and re-burn CDs!!!!

Make itunes your default audio player open itunes then on the taskbar click on start then click on search when the
window opens click on pictures, music, or video then tick the box for music then click search when all your music files are found double click on anyone that as an itunes logo on it and it will send it to your itunes library and start playing it just keep on repeating good luck

Windows 7 Media Player - Server execution failed

LOOK... I've tried "1. Click Start Button, type "cmd" in the search bar. The CMD icon will appear in the Start Menu."
"2. Right click the CMD icon and click "Run as administrator". Yeah right, The window that opened is a "User Account Control". It reads; Do
you want to allow the following program to make changes to to this computer?"
3. In the popup window, type the following command line and press Enter. There is NO PLACE TO TYPE ANYTHING IN. See Step 2.
I have a lot of Legal Video Evidence in/on this Computer... I can't afford to lose ANY of it.
I know it's going to take days to get an answer.

Log in as the Administrator.
Close Windows Media Player.
In the Start Search box type in:
services.msc and hit the Enter Key.
Scroll down to Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service (WMPNetworkSvc).
Click on Log On tab.
Change the log on to Local System account.
Click OK/Apply.
Now recheck the issue.

Windows stream media player

hey - i'm developing a new joomla based site and i'd like to
have a custom flash media player embedded into the page that uses
the windows media player functions if possible, or easier that way.
my goal is to put a simple player on the page and the real
focus would be a "graphic equalizer" that would match the color
scheme and look like a part of the site. below that simple buttons
that would have start/stop/pause and volume. if i could "detach"
this player from the page that would be an added bonus. if i did
that then i'd also want current song title playing to stream
through as well.
how hard is this to do in flash? i have NO history of flash
development but can figure things out if given some good pointers.
would the EQ part be difficult to bounce to the music? change the
imagry to be other things as well other than the standard bar eq?
if it would be more difficult is there a good place to post
to ask for some dev help on this?
thanks in advance!

I'm wondering if you received a reply. Neither the Windows Media Player in Internet Explorer nor Safari will give me a live feed for more than 30 seconds to 1 minute and will then freeze. "Refreshing" the page doesn't provide a "live" response.

Compatibility issues with 1st Ipod Nano and In Car Windows MP3 media player

I use a mac pro running 10.5.6 leopard. My new car has a Windows formatted media MP3 player with USB connector which doesn't read my 1st generation Ipod nano. I can load the music files onto a flash drive and play them in the car but without any of the functionality of an Ipod.
How can I load music files onto my Ipod and use it in my car without
resorting to loading Windows on my mac and reformatting my Ipod to PC? Is
there a crossover bit of software available? Are more recent nano's formatted for both Mac and PC? I have saved the IPod as a external hard disk and converted all music files to MP3 which is the MP3's accepted format. I'm also sure I have the latest software for the IPod. Any ideas? Cheers.

OK I am confused. You say your car stereo has a Windows formatted MP3 player? What does that mean exactly? That the car stereo can play MP3s off of mass storage devices plugged into its USB port?
I think if the above is what you meant, then you have two problems. One is that your car stereo likely reads FAT32 formatted storage devices (and possibly, but doubtfully, Windows NTFS formatted devices). Your iPod is likely formatted in Mac format which your stereo won't be able to read.
That can be overcome. Simply restore your ipod on a Windows machine to put it into Windows format then plug it back into your Mac and use it that way. Macs can read and sync to Windows formatted iPods just fine.
But the other problem is, your stereo may not be able to actually control an iPod directly. Does the instruction say it can? Therefore it would be looking on the storage of the iPod that shows up as Mass Storage for tracks, not on the hidden area where iTunes stashes music into and your iPod plays music from.

Is there a Window's Media Player download compatible with the INTEL iMacs?

I tried downloading MWP for Mac OSX and the file name was Windows Media.sitx and I couldnt do anything with that. I also tried downloading Windows Media Components for quicktime but it said it wasnt compatible with intel Macs.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
iMac G5 Intel Core Duo, 1.83GHz, 1GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Although Microsoft no longer supports it, WMV9 for OSX works on the intel machine, running under Rosetta. That .sitx file you download can be uncompressed with the free Stuffit Expander for intel:
http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/universalbeta.html
Or re-download the WM Player as a .bin file from MS directly:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/download/ misc/winmp_osx.xml&secid=80&ssid=8&flgnosysreq=True
Alternatively, you can download the Popwire components for intel Mac, which allow WMV files to play in native Quicktime (7.0.4 and below only) or Flip4Mac, which will do the same, although only by running your Quicktime Player in Rosetta, as F4M has not released a universal version as of yet.

I have tried to transfer files from my windows media player to my ipod but it saysthe device has stopped responding or stopped working.this is the first time ive connected nmy ipod to my new pc.any ideas?

I have tried to transfer music from my windows 7 media player to my ipod.This is the first time i have tried to use my ipod on my new computer .In the media player it doesnt give me the option to add to itunes library it just give me the option to send to my ipod and when i do this it says that the device has stopped responding or isnt working.Any ideas? coz i aint got the foggiest where i am going wrong.My ipod keeps telling me to update the software,but then will i lose the music thats already on my ipod?

You should import the music (that is listed in Windows Media Player) into your iTunes Library - on your computer - to add it to your existing iTunes Library. I take it you have moved (or copied) your music from the old computer to the new computer, haven't you?
Then Sync your iPod to that Library.
iPods will not respond to Windows Media Player, they're designed to connect to iTunes.

Windows Media Player not selecting custom audio renderer filter on Windows 7 (works with graphedit)

Hi there,
I have custom directshow audio renderer filter derived from CBaseRenderer base class and implements IBasicAudio interface.
Filter works fine with graphedit and media player classic, I am able to receive audio data. But when I try to play file using Windows Media Player, filter gets callback in completeconnect followed by breakconnect and then its discarded.
Things I have tried so far --
Implement IBasicAudio interface, still fails with WMP
Modify audio renderer filter to connect with video decoder, it works fine with WMP and I can get dump of raw video data
Implement IReferenceClock interface, still fails with WMP
Implement this filter using CBaseFilter as base class, still same outcome, CompleteConnect on receive pin followed by BreakConnect and filter is discarded
It seems that Windows Media Player is looking for some specific interface that I might have not implemented or is picky for audio renderer. I found similar issue at https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/windowsdesktop/en-us/6e5985fb-3ca2-41b3-9a99-7a9b97ae7357/directshow-filter-stopped-working-in-windows-7-media-player.
But it seems unresolved.
Please help, am stuck on this issue for 3 days without any luck. Any clues on this is appreciated.
Thank you.
-- Shobhit

Thanks for the reply Roman.
Most of QuerryInterface calls received in NonDelegatingQuerryInterface callback inside filter are same as that for greaphedit.
From http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mediasdkstuff/archive/2008/09/19/custom-directshow-audio-renderer-hangs-playback-in-windows-media-player-11.aspx, it seems that WMP on Windows 7 uses preferred list of filters using IAMPluginControl that cannot be modified
by 3rd party.
There has to be some workaround for this that am trying to figure out. Any clues on this?
Thanks,

Itunes shows up in my media player ex "track 14"

purchased music from itunes shows up in my windows 7 media player as example ' track 14" etc...will not play.. no idea what song it is

Right-click the entry in Windows Media Player, and choose "Open file lcoation." When it opens, right-click the file icon and choose Open With > iTunes. It should start playing in iTunes and you can see what it is.

H.264 Blu-Ray rendered .m4v files won't playback in any media player except Adobe software

Hello guys and thank you in advance for your help. I am going to pull my hair out!
I had to reinstall Windows 7 and am experiencing an issue that is driving me crazy. All of my 720p H.264 Blu-Ray.m4v files rendered with After Effects will not play in any player I try in Windows. I've tried Windows Media Player, VLC, and Media Player Classic. I've tried with a clean install and no other codecs except those included with Windows 7. I've tried installing additional h.264 codecs. I've tried installing ffdshow and other codecs as well and no matter what I do, the files will not play at all.
The only way I can preview the file it to load it in AE or Encore or something similiar. Unfortunately, this is not the best solution for me. I'd love to be able to preview the files quickly and efficiently through Windows Explorer / Media Player without opening Adobe software. I don't think that's too much to ask.
Another issue is that before I reinstalled Windows that these files played back just fine in Windows Media Player! I don't know why it was working and now it's not on a clean install. All of the hardware is the same. On the original working install, I don't recall installing any additional codec packs or anything. It just worked...
Regular .mp4 H.264 files (not Blu-Ray) play just fine in all players. Something the Blu-Ray spec is doing to the file causes it to not work. And changing the extension to mp4 does nothing.
Please tell me what I am doing wrong! Is it something with the Mainconcept codec? Is it something with my drivers? What am I missing?!?

Thanks for the suggesstion Mylenium, but that didn't help either.
I installed PowerDVD which came with the Blu-Ray drive, and also a trial of ArcSoft's Blu-Ray player, and neither would play the files.
Any other suggestions? This is killing me. I don't understand why they would play before and not now. The files arne't corrupt. Even new rendered outputs in the same preset won't play. They'll load into Encore just fine though and even are listed as "Don't Transcode", so I know the files themselves are okay.
Could it have anything to do with drivers? I was testing an Nvidia video card with my last build and now I'm just using a Sandy Bridge chip with Intel's on-board video. But I do remember even when I took the Nvidia card out and just ran on-board video the last time, the files still played fine...

I have over 50 cd stored on windows7 media player, How do i all of the cd to i tines??

I have over 50 music cd stored on windows 7 Media Player. How do i import them to i tunes so i can download them to my i pod ??? Thanks Very Much

Allybean, Are you using a MAC or PC? MAC OSX has an app called Image Capture that will show you all the pictures available on your iPhone for download. I didn't check but it may be just the Camera Roll that will be available in Image Capture.
I have an album on my iPhone that was synced from my computer and it appears I can email those pics or use AirDrop to move them but that would be very time consuming if I had to do too many.
All the albums on your iPhone other than the Camera Roll are synced from your computer so those pics must already be on your computer as previously mentioned by KiltedTim.

Missing codecs for media player 12

I have Windows 7 loaded on my computer and the Media player 12 will not open .asf files. I have tried all kinds of patches and fixes but mothing seems to work. I have just purchased another computer for a different location and that windows 7 media player 12 works perfectly.

I normally install VLC player that is capable of playing all the file formats. You can download it from the following weblink:
http://www.videolan.org
Then all the codecs will get installed and Media Player starts playing most of the file formats.
I am an HP employee.
