Hi Apple fans,

Is it just me, or is there no sound on the downloaded MacBook Air Guided Tour MOV file? I've tried it using QT and VLC on the Mac, as well as download it again from a PC and using WMP. None of them have any sounds. I downloaded the Leopard Guided Tour, and it's got sound. So the problem doesn't seem to be with me... or is it?

Any of you got the same problems?

Works fine for me.
So the problem seems to be unique with you as a lot of people have downloaded and watched it and none have reported any problems with the sound.
 
OK, thanks a lot for the confirmation!

How odd that I have downloaded it twice from two different computers and used three different programs but none of them have sound.

I've also downloaded the Apple TV guided tour and that works perfectly.

Never mind, I've watched it through Safari now. But wish I could have it full screen.
 
i also had the sound problem. (just wanting to confirm you aren't crazy.)

fixed now though.
 
I've had no problem watching the tour, but I can't get the ad to work, on both my iMac running leopard and my iBook G4 running 10.3

Update: nevermind. You just have to wait and eventually it shows up. There's no visual feedback that the movie is loading.
 
Oh I thought you were talking about the actual MBA.

Speaking of which does it make any sound? I mean I'm guessing there aren't any real fans in their right?
 
I also have no audio... I have a 24" iMac running 10.5.1 and the latest Quicktime v7.4... I upgraded in a vain attempt to fix this problem! Whats also strange is that I cannot watch the macbook air advertisement. It's supposed to display inline in the web page, but all I get is a white box. Works fine on the mac mini w/10.4.11 that I use at work.

Hi DJC6. How do you get Apple Minis at work? What line of work may I ask you do? I am always surprised to hear people have Apples at work, since I always consider Apples to be home entertainment computers. I can't imagine requesting IT to give me an Apple. Every computer in my workplace is IBM / Lenovo.

ICEBreaker, I'm actually a windows administrator at a university :) Academia seems a lot more amicable to macs. If you check out the http://macenterprise.org/ mailing list, you'll find the overwhelming majority of "enterprise" users who participate on the list are at schools and universities.

For example, we love Apple's Xserve RAID, but we tend to attach them to Solaris, Linux and Windows machines and not Apple Servers :) We do have a couple Xserve's around though, but most of the macs on campus are clients - student laptops, office machines, and lab computers.
 
Hi DJC6. It's interesting to know that you use Apple servers to support machines of other systems. I suppose schools and universities are more open minded about Apple. I remember using Apple in every school I've studied at, as well as university. : )
