Abdab Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Right,Hello. I got brand new i mac, had it a while now. i just re installed all cd's and leopard mac os x cd. And nothing appears to be working really.For example. When i try downloading a video, it does but then it opens up as writing cos it cart open in divx or quicktime. But it should cause last time i had no problem. I then attempted to download windows media player for mac and that downloaded as a blank page too.Any ideas as to how I can get this working? Please help! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Get rid of Windows media player and just get VLC player, that'll play all types of video files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Best advice I can give you is to sell the iEvil and get a PC...You can go away, now.... NOW! Mac's are - in my opinion - better than a PC in a majority of instances. Mainly - how often does a mac get a virus?I know they can get them, and they're beginning to become more common, but still maybe 90% less likely than a PC Sorry - I'm a PC user too, but it just doesn't seem to work as well as a Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 It's just a matter of putting the disk in isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Its about 5 clicks and takes all of 20 min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Pretty much, put the disc in, press restart, and it does it for you. Choose Archive and Install if you want to keep all your old shit including applications, settings, etc. Clean Install if you dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
