I have Mac OS 10.9.5 and avi files will not play even with VLC.  What can I use?

How can I play an AVI on Mac OS 10.9.5 when VLC does not work?

You probably can't. AVI is a container, not a format; Some reviews require a codec that is not available for Mac OS X.

  • Laterally, IPhone video clips will play in WMP, rotate using Live Movie Maker and the file will not play on WMP

    It is perhaps one of the most common glitches in WMP, but MS is so confused, there is no solution (codec) to set the Iphone vids vertically in WMP.

    When you follow the web tutorials to rotate the clip using Live Movie Maker, it records the video to the format .wlmp that won't play in WMP.  So if you try to publish a movie there no option but send on Youtube or add Codec, which opens a page of gibberish, or when you try to save the film each option results in error "the device is not ready".

    If a guru of SevenForums cannot browse this intuitive nonsense, how millions of average users who find WMP plays videos of the Iphone on the side, while MS allows their ignorant WMP like some stubborn dinosaurs blunder?

    Hello

    This behavior can occur if the video was recorded in landscape mode.  You can see the link given below the similar question.

  • Have 2 printers on the computer and the PC will not print one when you switch to the other?

    Have 2 printers on the computer and the PC will not print one when you switch to the other?

    Having a printer at the office and one at home, but use the same PC for both? Unable to print at home after bring you it to the office (and vice versa)?

    If you USB, most of the time, the PC will recognize what printer is which. Sometimes PORTS does not commute. You can manually change the correct ports if necessary.

    CLICK ON THE MENU START

    1 devices and printers

    2 right CLICK on the printer

    3. choose the PRINTER PROPERTIES

    4. click on PORTS

    5. There will be a list of ports with one (checked marked). If it's on the wrong port, change to the right pair and choose APPLY.

    (NOTE: it must ALWAYS be on a USB port or a wireless connection.) Some ports wireless start with a #(adresse IP) or a SERIAL number)

    I hope this helps. Sometimes, you can create your own port if you have more questions.

    What "MS"?

    Microsoft is a company, not a product.

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool

    Once saved, run the tool.
    Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.

  • I have a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5305 application, running Windows 7. I made a few cds of music there are chandeliers and that they will not play on this computer. They do not play on my computer of husbands, good girls.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5305 application, running Windows 7.  I made a few cds of music there are chandeliers and that they will not play on this computer.  They do not play on my computer of husbands, good girls.  I think that they are MP3.  My cd drive is appearing and showing to work properly, but just read it as a blank CD.  To go with this... I am a legal transcriptionist and use a program called FTR player.  I downloaded some MP3 audio files and who won't play in my FTR player either, so I think it has something to do with. MP3 files, in the form of .wav files play in my FTR player very well.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance, Jodi

    Red flag.  CCcleaner.  If you used to "clean" your registry database, which can cause problems.  CCcleaner is also a good program, but registry cleaners do not help and remove what they think are "unused" entries in the registry that can cause problems later.

    Try to download the Real Player and see if that corrects your problem, but if it is not, you may need to restore your computer to the factory settings by your user guide's instructions.

    When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. External hard drives 1 TB are about $85 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

    Good luck.

  • Dimension D drive recognizes and 3000, but will not play two CD / DVDs. Says drive works properly

    Drive DVD (d) properties

    Material:

    WDC WD800BB - 75JHAO Type hard drive

    SAMSUNG DVD - ROM SD - 616E Type CD-ROM/DVD-ROM

    Slot 0 for both.

    System says that the device is functioning properly. I can't update, because I get a message that I have the most up to date available. I did the whole 'uninstall '. Once the computer is restarted, I got the "found new hardware". Yet, nothing. Only a few time a hourglass jumped to the top, but nothing has happened.

    The computer simply will not play anything - no CD-ROM, dvd or cd. Instead, the drive blinks several times and does nothing.

    However, the computer not only recognizes the drive, but if I hit eject. The disk opens. Once I put a cd/dvd/CD, the computer always says "Please insert a disk into drive D:".

    Help, please. And I thank you in advance.


  • Movie Maker 6.0 serious on DVD, then published original, and now it will not play?

    My daughter has made a movie about Movie Maker 6.0 and it burned on a dvd.  She then had to change the original.  Once it was published, it does not work on Movie Maker 6.0.  She cannot do anything with it.  Help.  It's a slideshow from Graduation.  Garduation is today!

    It is unclear what has happened and why the project will not play.
    It may be interesting to try to open Movie Maker 6 and go to... Tools /.
    Options / Compatibility tab and disable all filters / OK.

    If this does not help... I think would be best to start
    Over and re - create the project.

    I have not had any problems with Phillips Hue/HomeKit/Siri all seven betas of iOS 9.3 Although.  However in the final update, which also brought an update hue shortly after, I can no longer use Siri voice commands to operate my lights.  I have everything reset, checked the lights and scenes, but Siri tells me that nothing is connected.  Everything works manually but nothing using Siring I suspect HomeKit.   Anyone see a problem?

    Everything started working again.
