Wacka Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Thanks for all your help! Now one more question please- can I load this file on Itunes? I can play it with the VLC player but cannot figure if there is a way to add to ITunes. Thanks in advance! Try asking "add file to iTunes" in the iTunes help. I have to use both and Apple's help files are light years ahead of Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 kind of. Itunes reads the program as a movie file. I downloaded the player and when I click on it on my desktop nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your help! This movie cannot open. This file is not a movie file. - thats the message I get when I try and open the MPEG file Probably not an MPEG file then or it is corrupted. Because the player should be built already.

Pete Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 I installed the VLC player and still cannot play any files. I get the message: ps: cannot peek main: no suitable demux module whatever the hell that means? I am no fan of Macs- my printer still doesn't work. Just about any time someone sends me a file in the email I need to figure out what program to download to view it- and that works part of the time. Thanks for all your help though! Edit- they are .RAR files if that helps anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit- they are .RAR files if that helps anyone Pete, I'm gonna help ya here. But given the info in this post you cant blame "macs" for youre stuff not working. that being said, lets move on. a RAR file is an archive file (like a zip file). you need to expand (or unzip) the file to get to the actual movie files. http://www.unrarx.com/ that should work to expand the rar file. and youll need it if you plan on downloading more movies/music/etc. once you install unrarx, you should just be able to double-click the rar archives and they will expand themselves. good luck, let me know if you need any more help.

Wacka Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I seem to remember (I may be wrong ) that we determined that your printer problem is the printer company's fault. They didn't write drivers for the Mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't write drivers for the Mac? good memory. My printer is a HP Laserjet 1020. HP has no driver for the Mac and there are some drivers out there on the net. I think I downloaded them all and still cannot get it to work. And like Dr Dank said- most of my computer problems are my own fault- not Apples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every link I used to use to check my email take sme to that !@#$ing .mac page. WTF? Pete. Take a breath. If you use "Mail", the Apple email client - you can use FILE: ADD ACCOUNT: Account Type => .Mac Account Description: .Mac Account Full Name: Pete McGillicuty (or whatever your last name or .Mac Account is set up for User Name: PeteMcGillicyty@mac.com Password: Macsrdumb (orwhateveryourpasswordis) Me thinks you're thinking too hard about things. Then again, I haven't logged in since it became MobleMe. But I'm still getting my .Mac Account emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
