What plug-ins do I need for optimal viewing of Exhibits?
Many of the media assets contained in Apple Learning Interchange Exhibits require appropriate browser plug-ins for viewing. Make sure you have the following browser plug-ins or click the links to download the plug-ins you need:
- QuickTime 6 - The latest version of the QuickTime Plug-in is required to view QuickTime videos, which feature the MPEG-4 standard. The plug-in will be automatically placed in the correct browser folders when you download and install the latest version of QuickTime from Apple's site.
- Acrobat Reader - An Acrobat Reader browser plug-in is required to view PDF files. The plug-in may already exist in your browser plug-in folder if you already have Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. If you need to download and install Acrobat Reader and its plug-ins, visit Adobe's download site for Acrobat Reader.
