QT problem

[Severin Crisp]

Further research shows a freebie to convert movies to HTML5 friendly formats.  
Downloading right now.  


Many thanks for that time consuming effort on my behalf Ronni!  
No I have not switched to El Capitan.  But certainly there website coding is 
HTML5.  Looks as if I have some movie grinding to do!

Re: QT problem

[Rob Phillips]

Another example of Apple deciding what we can or cannot do?

Hi Severin,

Are you running El Capitan 10.11?
The QuickTime plugin is no longer supported on OS X 10.11.

Apple disables the QuickTime plug-in in 10.11.

If the QT movies are the ones on Jenny’s website, I tried moving the 
disabled “QuickTime Plugin.plugin” back into Internet Plug-Ins as 
below as a Test to see if it would work... but unfortunately NO.


I went to  "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Disabled Plug-Ins" and checked 
if "QuickTime Plugin.plugin" was there, it was, so I moved it to 
"/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ , restarted Safari and checked on Safari 
-> Preferences -> Security -> Plug-in settings.
Then opened Safari, went to Jenny’s website tried to play ‘The Stream’ 
but no go - still receive ‘Missing Plug-in’ click the -> to see 
message “This webpage has content that requires the “QuickTime” 
plug-in etc


I imagine it is to do with file handling via Safari and probably the 
move to HTML5.
The developers of the sites have to change, doesn't look like the 
browsers will change.

Ronni

Re: How to convert a POP email account to IMAP

[FW]

Hi all,

Just a final question:
In the initial post Peter quoted :

“with a POP account, if you check your emails on your iPhone, the messages 
downloaded there will only be there; when you 
get back to your Mac, you won’t see them in your inbox. With IMAP, they’ll be 
on all your devices”

On my iinet POP account the messages are downloaded to the iMac + iPad. So I 
make the iinet account inactive on the iPad to
avoid having to read them again. And when I come back from Rottnest I see all 
the emails on the iMac after having read them
already on the iPad (when the account was active).

Thanks
Cheers
Walter

Re: How to convert a POP email account to IMAP

[Neil Houghton]

Thanks for the link Pete,

However, this just shows the set-up procedure for either IMAP or POP, but
not how to change between the two. The link ³IMAP vs POP3², halfway down the
page, just takes you to:

> No help desk at help.gearhost.com
> 
> There is no help desk configured at this address. This means that the address
> is available and that you can claim it at http://www.zendesk.com/signup/


Anyway, after Ronni¹s explanation and suggestion, I¹m now happy enough with
the current situation.



Cheers
