As you know, a MAC’s operating system is different from a PC’s. Keep in mind, however, that everything a PC is capable of doing, a MAC is able to do as well. The only difference is in finding how to do the same thing, either with different software, by employing different steps or using the most current updates.

If you are having trouble viewing the OBF Media Broadcast (Audio or Video), please take the following precautions:

Make sure that you have the most current version for your media viewer, be it Windows Media Player for MAC or QuickTime. Those who use a MAC to view the broadcast, have found that only the latest version of Windows Media Player (Version 9.0) has worked for them.

Make sure that your system has adequate memory available along with your Internet connection to run the video stream. You may need to clean up your desktop, which will free up additional system memory.

Be certain that you are running OSX on your system. It may work just as well with OS 9; however, we have not certified that operating system for our broadcast.
Here are a few additional steps that may be performed to get the OBF Media Broadcast to play on your MAC:

Make sure that you have the most current version of Windows Media Player for MAC (Version 9.0).

Delete any prior versions of Windows Media Player. As you may already know, MACs will keep old versions of software after new versions have been installed. Your browser may not know to recognize the latest version if the old one is still installed.

Before trying to access the OBF Media Broadcast, open Windows Media Player and let it run in the background. Then open the CYW Broadcast. Your system should then recognize the latest version of Window Media Player and allow the stream to begin.

If you are having challenges viewing a Flash presentation on our Web sites, the steps are basically the same. The reason that the file may not be showing up may be that the animation was made with the latest version of Flash.

Locate and delete the folder that has the old version of Flash. Then go to Macromedia.com now owned by Adobe and download the latest version.

Install the new version of Flash and be certain to select the browser that you use to surf the Web. Please note: if you have multiple versions of Internet Explorer on your computer, it may appear that you have installed the latest version to your browser—although this may not be the case. We suggest that you delete previous versions of your browser as well.
From this point forward, you should be able to view any Flash files and Video as well as Audio files that we add to our Web site. We hope you find this information helpful. Thank you for visiting us. God bless you!
