Apple :: Best Media Player Besides ITunes
Feb 9, 2009I've got a lot of unorganized music and I don't want to play it with iTunes as it adds to music and this will clutter up my organised iTunes library. What is the best media player apart from iTunes?. Similar to Winamp for Windows.

Mar 29, 2009My Acer Aspire One (AOD150-1165) came with Windows Media Player 9 installed.
#1-Can I update that to Windows Media Player 10, OR, Windows Media Player 11?
#2- If yes, which one? (Would 10 be better?)
#3- Or would both, either, of them be too large for this AAO?
#4- If I can update to 10 (or 11), where would the best place to get the download?
#5- Would 10 or 11 OVER-WRITE version 9 (which is now on the AAO)?
#6- Why was such an 'old' version 9 installed on this AAO?

I thought it was the codec but I am not sure what to do..I have tried a couple things installing codec packages and what nOT..Downloaded the new Divx 7 package and it gave me back avi and some files will now play..But some are s till a green blank...Also the dvd playback won't even do that or play sound..It kinda starts and everything freezes and its just black..The WMP locks up and becomes un responsive...Have shut it down and start over..I was thinking of going back to the old nvidia driver that I had but now sure how to do this..

May 17, 2014I have a desktop HP Envy h8-1417c 64 bit PC and I recently updated to Windows 8.1 (from Windows 8 - which came loaded on the PC). After the update, Windows Media Player still works fine, but it will not accept new album art and information when I try to rip one of my new CDs to the music library. It searches the internet, and finds the correct art and information, but when you click accept, nothing happens. The CD selections simply stay blank. I can still see the older files info and art (prior to the update) so I know it has retained what was already ripped. I also have a music editing program called Gold Wave (which works with Windows 8) and it can no longer find album art. I also have iTunes loaded and have no problems finding album artwork and info with this program.

- The Exclusions lists also Applies to Migration assistant.
Apple :: Should I Upgrade From OS X 10.4.11 To 10.5.x Leopard
Jun 10, 2009I picked up an old iBook G4, specs are:
1.33Ghz PowerPC G4
1GB DDR SDRAM
ATI 32MB VRAM AGP Video Card (integrated I believe)
Seems to be loaded with all the goodies: Bluetooth, Firewire, USB, WiFi.
Not sure if it would be worth it to upgrade to 10.5 though, seems like it would only slow me down but with Unix/Macs I'm not so sure. Plus, it appears that 10.5.x is the last OS Update for the PowerPC crowd.
Apple :: MKV Playback On Leopard
Feb 24, 2009Why doesn't OS X have a single good video player like KMplayer that can handle Matroska (mkv) files.. Or for that matter handle Subtitles elegantly ...
Or maybe there is something but I am just not aware of its existence
Please don't say it's VLC (even 720p playback stutters on a Unibody macbook) Perian is somewhat better but then Subtitle support is very flaky
Apple :: How To Upgrade 10.3.9 To Leopard
Mar 27, 2009I'm upgrading a Mac from 10.3.9 to Leopard. I've got an image of the disc... how do I go about upgrading.
The Mac in question is a desktop (please don't shut down the thread mods! ) 1.6ghz, power-pc g5, 1.25gb. I've checked the specifications for Leopard and its seems to meet them. [url]
Someone else tried unsuccessfully to upgrade Leopard on the same machine before without much luck.... hoping it might be better this time.
Apple :: BSoD When Resizing Video Player Window (Vista X64bootcamp)
Jan 12, 2009it seems I've gotten my first BSoD in years, in boot camp, Vista x64.
I was watching a movie, and exited full-screen, and for some reason I wanted to resize VLC's window (the one that has the movie playing) - while the movie was playing.
The audio froze and then bam! BSoD. It was kinda quick, I didn't get to see which .dll caused it.
Could it be an audio issue since the audio froze? Or a video issue since that's where it all started from?
Apple :: 4GB Upgrade & Snow Leopard
Sep 11, 2009this is my first foray into 4GB in OS X. Just to appease my TypeA twists, could someone please comment for me?
Upgraded my uMB to 4GB last night and System Memory in OS X Activity Monitor (Utilities folder) shows 3.75GB available. I'm not freaked out about this, just wanting to check my curiosity.
Now the About This Mac pop-up window shows 4GB installed so I'm thinking the difference may have to do with OS memory addresses and such which is why you end up with memory recognition in 32bit windows systems, but I'm hoping for confirmation from others that I'm not missing something. The other possibility I considered for the difference is just simply the 1024bit vs 1000bit thing that you end up with in HDD sizing (and that would actually match nicely with the conversion @ ~3.73GB ).
Apple :: Can't Instal Leopard On My MacBook Pro
May 4, 2009Have a brand new MacBook O/S 10.5.6 (Leopard) Intel Core duo. Also have MacBook Pro also Intel core duo but running on O/S 10.4.11(Tiger).

Tried install Leopard Disks (which came with new MacBook) onto MacBook Pro, but all i get is Message " Mac OSX cannot be installed on this computer." Can anyone enlighten why i can't instal leopard on my MacBook Pro with the instal disks from my Intel MacBook?

Apple :: Snow Leopard Upgrade
Aug 31, 2009My upgrade to Snow leopard from Leopard went without incident, and everything works great except for Quicktime.
If I want to watch a WMV file, I get an error message indicating that Quicktime must be installed first to proceed.
The question is this. Can I install Quicktime alone from the Upgrade disk?
I tried the newest version downloaded from Apple's website, however it gives an error upon installation that indicates that the version is incompatible with Snow Leopard. I guess Apple has not updated their download website.
Apple :: Powerbook G4 And Leopard Upgrade
May 31, 2010I just got a free Powerbook G4 17inch from a relative and I was wondering if I should upgrade it to Leopard or if I should keep it on Tiger. It has a 1.67Ghz processor, 2GB of ram and an ATI 9700 128mb. Will I notice any significant improvement in performance or will it slow this machine down more? I was inevitably planning to sell it but if I can run Leopard decently I'd most likely keep it. Though being unable to play HD youtube videos without stuttering is kinda annyoing.

Apple :: Leopard Performance Tweaks
May 6, 2009Being digging around with my macbook this evening, figuring out ways to spruce up hardware performances, in the form of buying/installing latest and greatest hardwares (hard drive, optical drive, "expensive" ram etc ...) and it dawned on me about tweaking it, just like with Windows.
Yahoo-ing/Google-ing brought me to this blog, from which I played with some suggestions. A nice surprise, not that I had any complaints with OS X performance.
There are a few suggestions here that I had not yet tried, may be later.

Finder Tweaks:
The first batch of speed boosts come from minimizing the Finder’s system load.
1. Turn off Spotlight.
This will save an older system with a slower hard drive the pain of indexing. Even after the first index, Spotlight needs to continue updating its indexes. It also uses resources to cache searches and be ready for use...................
