WMV Clips wont open browser

They use to work fine until i installed flip4mac as i recommended this but as it did not do what i wanted i unintalled it and then the clips stopped working so i reinstalled Windows Media Player and now when i go to play a wmv clip in the browser it looks af it its goons start downloading the file in the status bar but then just hangs the machine.
Any one any ideas?
thanks

The instructions are an issue. One the dilemmas with something like Flip4Mac is that it's not a stand alone product. The player is dependent on Quicktime, the web plugin uses Safari, the encoder/exporter a variety of apps.
If you've ever used Flip4Mac encoder in Squeeze you'll get an entirely different interface than using it in Compressor or QuicktimePro.
You can join WMV files in Quicktime Pro just as you can join mov files. It's a bit of a pain and I don't think too many folks know how to do it with mov files either.
It's easier in FCP but that's expensive way to go if you don't have FCP.
You can do it in iMovie. That should be an easy and familiar interface and it's free for most folks (even Quicktime Pro costs $30). You'd edit them like any other file. In my playing I've found it's easier to save the WMV in a MOV wrapper in QuikckTimePro and then edit the MOV file in iMovie or FPC (whatever your comfortable with). If you import the WMV directly into iMovie it'll work but might be a bit sluggish depending on your Mac.
One issue that some have raised with this approach is that one has to recompress the joined file as wmv. Ideally one should simply save it (no further compression) as wmv as I think one can do with MS Movie Maker on Windows. I think the Flip4Mac folks are aware if this (if not, I'll make sure they're aware of it) and see if they'll come up with a way to join wmvs with a simple save to wmv instead of recompression.
In any case you can join the files in QuicktimePro (kind of kludgy) or in iMovie or FCP (much easier since they're editing apps).
If you do want to do it in QuicktimePro, my bet is Quicktime Kirk can give a better explanation of it than me. With Flip4Mac wmv works the same way as mov in QuicktimePro.
BTW I do plan on writing a users guide at some point.

    yes i am replying to myself in the form of a more precise question : i downloaded a music file from some bands website (not myspace)- it landed on my desktop calling itself " stolen_video-2.wmv" , upon dragging its file from desktop to itunes, it snaps back to desk- k- i get that so i change the tag from wmv to mp3 , it looks like it dissintegrates into itunes as it should, but then never shows itself,- when labeled aiff the apple suggests quicktime which states matter of factly that it cannot open...

  • Email links wont open browser

    I use Outlook2003 as my mail client, and it has worked perfectly until yesterday. When I click on a link in email Firefox will not open itself up and go to the requested link. In fact, it does nothing. However, if Firefox is open it will open a new tab and go to the requested link. Why won't it open itself up anymore? It used to open up just fine.

  • How can I open .wmv files in a browser on my MacBook Pro?

    I know that a person that owns a Mac can open .wmv files in third-party programs such as Flip 4 Mac (Flip Player), but is it possible to open .wmv files in a browser?
    Thanks,
    Karen

    You may open word processing documents using Apple's Pages. Numbers may open spreadsheets. Nothing appears to open databases, however.
    If you have access to an older system that runs AW6, then you can export your documents to a compatible format for newer applications.

  • Can a YouTube video clip be opened in the Firefox browser, so it is the only thing visible?

    Watching a concert in YouTube is nice, but small, so it would be nice to only open the video clip in the browser without the comments and other video clips in offer, so it is easier to see more en detail, even though it is not gone into full screen.

    Tap the ESC key to return your Firefox window to normal mode with the tabs (when in video full screen mode).
    Alternately, you can download and save the video to your hard drive, then open a separate video player and play the video which will not interfere with your current browsing, if you are just listening to a concert. You can switch back and forth between Firefox and the video player by clicking the appropriate icon in your Windows task bar.

  • Updated FireFox, rebooted & now it wont open the browser although the icon does appear in my taskbar. Was fine until update last night. Running Win8.1

    When I hover the mouse over the icon on the taskbar that appears after I have dbl-clicked the desktop icon, you can see a mini version of the open browser like normal, unfortunately the browser won't open up on the desktop. I have deleted and reinstalled several times. It has worked just fine up until I did the update last night.
    Machine Specs:
    Win 8.1
    16 Gigs RAM
    3 Gigs Video
    AMD FX-6200 6 Core Processor 3.80Ghz
    64 Bit

    I suspect you won't need those files. Maybe give it a day or two before getting rid of them, in case you notice anything else new and strange with window/dialog sizes/positions.

  • HELP!!! Mail wont open

    Hi can someone pleaseeeeee help me with this problem. It all started about a month and half ago and i am unable to open mail. I have my mail in my dock and everytime i click on it i see "mail" at the top of the browser but the actual mail server or browser doesn't open. I dont know if this had to do with me downloading a mail notifier from google gmail and since then when i tried to open mail it stop working it wont open! i uninstalled the google app and it still wont open i tired everything i think, i even turned off the computer and back on and nothing. I have a mac book pro tiger 10.4.11 Please HELP! thanks in advance.

    First I'd backup your whole Mail folder, with a right Mouse click>Archive, move to a safe place, also move the file below to a safe place.
    Try moving this file first, then logout/in...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    If that doesn't work try the .plists in...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/
    If you wish to reinstall Mail, it's on your Install Disk.
    Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301229
    "Here's a list of all the custom installation options available with Optional Installs.mpkg:
    * Applications
    o Address Book 4.0
    o iCal 2.0
    o iChat 3.0
    o iTunes 4.7.1
    o Mail 2.0
    o Oxford Dictionaries
    o Safari 2.0
    o X11"
    Personally, I'd leave Mail just lie... it's like trying use an Etch-a-Sketch to replicate the Mona Lisa for me!

  • I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?

    I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
    I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

    On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
    But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

  • Safari wont open after downloading 'genieo', its taken over homepage on internet and only opens for 1 second before closing rapidly. deleted it but still cant open internet. please HELP!

    safari wont open since downloading 'genieo' stupidly, well by accident i just looked what it is up..... as needed to crop song quickly and must have been on that page/..., i moved it to trash and removed it everywhere i could see it but its still taken over safari and so web page closes after 1 second of opening so i cant use it. There are removal instructions etc online but i cant get online to do them! how can i sort this out if i cant use the internet and change my homepage etc? Will people at Apple store be able to do this for me?

    There are some instructions that take time with some attention to detail to attempt and also remove all parts of the genieo and other adware malware bad content that come with visiting or downloading a variety of web sites which may spread their ilk to those who unknowingly or unwittingly get downloads or install content that has been doctored with some untoward idea in mind. Some of the posers do this to disrupt or sell more dysfunctional cures to their created mischief. The cure (incl their uninstaller) may be as bad as the problem.
    •The Safe Mac - Tech Guides: Note 'adware removal & others' here
    http://www.thesafemac.com/tech-guides/
    Genieo is a specific issue and has a section in there.
    http://www.thesafemac.com/?s=genieo&submit=Search
    For general adware, a script (beta, if you try luck)
    is available but it may not touch genieo...
    •Adware Removal Tool (applescript)
    http://www.thesafemac.com/art/
    The browser issue is covered under one of the topic areas, as that may also include a re-direct device where an extra button or home page to junk keeps loading. Incorrect removal of the badware may cause Safari to fail. However, you can get use a different browser to get information such as visit the above site, or here, etc.
    I do not know if the techs or genius at Apple Store would be able to remove the problem. One way it to erase everything on the computer, and start all over, and lose all your stuff. You should have a backup of your created content on a drive external to your computer, in addition to TimeMachine backups, for restoration purposes; this done before an issue strikes. The methods of removal are covered in the linked pages above.
    Another way, as suggested in detail by Linc Davis, can be followed and perhaps resolve the issue, too; at some point this topic thread will be seen by more than a few people. This is not a new topic here.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Safari 8.0.2 wont open just says it quit unexpectedly. tried several times

    safari 8.0.2 wont open just says it quit unexpectedly. tried several times

    If Safari crashes on launch and you don't have another web browser, you should be able to launch Safari by starting up in safe mode.
    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
    After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Safari wont open any pages?!?

    I just installed safari and it wont open any pages at all. I restarted, reinstalled and nothing. I deleted all files/registry entries for it then installed it again and no changes its just stuck. All other browsers (Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, IE 10 & Opera) are working w/o any problems.

    Apple stopped supporting Safari for Windows.
    Use another browser of your choice.
    Best.

  • FireFox doesn't fully close so whenever I reopen it refuses to open secure sites I had up when I closed it; it keeps thinking that the tab is already open and wont open another one. How do you fix this?

    Whenever I close Firefox and then reopen it later on it opens the last webpage I had open before closing the browser instead of my homepage. It seems that exiting Firefox doesn't fully shut it down and just puts it into hibernation mode. This has become a problem because when I have a secure webpage open when I close the web browser, without logging out of the page, and then try to go to that page again it thinks that it's already open and wont open another page for me. This means that I can't even navigate to the page to log out. I think it might be just a setting with Firefox 4 but not sure which one, any suggestions?

    For possible causes and solutions see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

  • My bookmarks/tabs wont open properly

    A few days ago my bookmarks were working just fine (i have several) I opened them by clicking the "open all tabs" option and they opened correctly. But I logged on my computer today and did the same process but they wont open, the tabs are all there but the sites can't be seen. I have never had this problem before. So what wrong?

    Basically I go to the bookmarks option at the top of my screen, point at my folder that has all my tabs/bookmarks and right click it, then i choose the option "open all tabs" in that folder. All the tabs appear but it gets stuck with all my tabs loading (all pages are blank). i thought that my computer was just being slow so i waited, but a whole half hour pasted and the site are still not seen(still loading). i closed that window and tried to see if it would work with another window but the same thing happens.i tried restarting my computer and start the process again but the same thing happens. however when i restart my computer and open a window it show my homepage and i can open new tabs with the plus sign option and open the tabs in my bookmarks folders separately. the problem is it wont open them all at the same time and when i try to start a new window the same thing happen with any site i try to open separately after that its like my browser has a mind of its own. (I've check my internet connection and its fine. and i don't have any viruses at the moment)
