5.8.11′s the newest version of the application – perhaps upgrading will fix your issue?

I had no trouble with Flipshare and Snow Leopard until I installed the new upgrade (5.6.35. It won’t even open. I tried everything. Contacted Flipshare support and did everything they told me to. Still no resolution.

Then, they stopped responding!!

@Joan

Did you install the FlipShare software?

It includes the 3ivx codec that you need to play the videos it records (or at least on the model I have). You should be able to install the app from the installer on the camera itself or by grabbing a copy from their site. The latest version can be downloaded here ->

version 5.6.35

version 4.5 (ppc compatible)

Yep! Downloaded the old version…. completely uninstalled the new one, plugged in the Flip and – well – it loaded the version off the clip succesfully and runs fine. I had contacted the Flip support site and they were supposed to answer within 4 hours. That was 11 hours ago…… RUBBISH SERVICE, FLIP!!!!!!

thank you so much! I could not get my Flip to load onto my new mac, it just said “please wait” for hours… This seems to have fixed it-miracle, thanks!

Glad to hear it helped. FlipShare 5 has been out for a while now and seems to work just fine with Snow Leopard.

I was on the phone with Flip for half an hour the other day trying to resolve the flipshare download issue…I could have save time if I would have thought to google the issue first! This worked like a dream…thank you so much.

@Mark

I have iPhoto ’09 (8.x) on my Mac so I can’t say if 4.5.1 works correctly with ’08 or not. Assuming you have the 3vix codec installed and working (its bundled with FlipShare) your videos should work properly – did you check to see if you somehow disabled that codec in Quicktime?

Just got 4.5.1 from the support team at Flip. Didn’t work b/c I still can’t launch videos in my iphoto 08 events. I’m seeing the video but nothing happens when I click.
