Can't watch movies online

Hi so I just recently bought a 13" Macbook Air. So of course I wanted to go to youtube to see some reviews or tips on my Macbook but youtube videos won't play. All I see is a black screen, no pause button, it's not buffering. I saw a post saying to turn off plug-ins in the preferences. And yes, it worked. But now I want to watch movies online, I can't because it's says I need to install Java. I don't get it? Shouldn't the turn off plug-ins do the trick? I'm new here so please help me. It will be much appreciated. Thank you

Hi Vfambam
Happy New Year!  Congratulations on the purchase of your new MacBook!      If you are getting a prompt that you need to install Java, see the resource below:
Java for OS X 2014-001
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
Keep your software up to date. If you need Java, download the latest version of Java for OS X directly from Oracle https://www.java.com
I hope this information helps ....

    What can I downloadto watch movies online with no use of iTunes

    It depends upon what sites you want to watch them on. Do they have their own apps ? If they don't and the sites are flash-based (which isn't supported on the iPad) then you could try browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon which 'work' on some sites.

  • New Macbook pro suddently can not watch any online video or movie

    I just bought a new 13" Macbook pro 4 days ago, the first day everything work well (include watching online movie or video), yesterday, I suddenly found I can not watch online movie or video anymore, the symptom is: I can open any website with online video, but the video area is BLACK, i tried many different website, they are all the same, can not watch any online video.
    then I call apple phone support, i was told press Commandoption+PR, after that, it works again. but today the same problem happened again!!! I know I can still use the same way to fix the problem. but I do really want to know, what's the reason? is my NEW Mac has problem? is the problem big or not? should i return or exchange it? I hope someone could help me and answer my questions.
    Anyway, right now i am very disappointed and frustrate, don't know what to do, I am a student, buy a mac is not a little money for me!
    Thanks for everybody! sorry for my poor english!

  • Any movie player crash while watching movies online

    Hi. I have a problem with my Sony Xperia e3 (D2203). When I stream/watch movies online it just exits from the player after about 10 min. How can I fix this? Cause I have tried to download other movie players, but they also just exit after about 10 min without saying anything. And then I have to start watching from the beginning. It is really annoying.

    Ok. I just tried it out and it was OK when the film is in the storage. So it is the streaming problem. Maybe its the apps problem, that I am using to watch movies online. BTW it's showbox.

  • How do you watch movies online that require adobe flash?

    I would like to know what application to use to watch movies online on Hulu or Xfinity. Both require flash but I read that Flash doesn't play well with Mac. Thanks!

    If you had said what Mac you have and what version of OS X I could be more specific, so:
    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Can't watch videos online... Do I need some flash player?

    Can't watch videos online... Do I need some flash player?

    There is no flash player for the iPad, it's not supported.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

  • I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x?

    I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x? There is always the message, i should look after new software! Can you help me?

    Handy-dandy cut and paste to the rescue!
    you need to install some other stuff to get the full file functionality back.
    Here's the list.
    Start with QT 7.6.6. - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
    Get Perian, and install it. - http://perian.org
    then VLC, - http://videolan.org
    DivX - http://divx.com - and the
    Flip4Mac package from Telestream - http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
    A52/AC3 downloader: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21875/a52codec - In this installer package there is an audio A52Codec.component. DO NOT USE IT! Throw it out and use the one that is linked below.
    This is what I've put into my system and so far I've gotten every file to run fine, even my oldest videos.
    These are codecs you should see.
    In System/Library/QuickTime
         AppleIntermediateCodec.component
         AppleMPEG2Codec.component* (*optional if you've bought it)
         DivX Decoder.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
    In your Home/Library/QuickTime/
         AC3MovieImport.component (you may or may not want this component, in some instances it causes conflicts. In my system, it doesn't. Who knows why? I don't.)
         Perian.component
    For AC3 sound that is in most .mkv files, you need the A52Codec.component, this is the one you want, here: https://code.google.com/p/subler/downloads/detail?name=A52Codec.component.zip - unzip the file and put the component into the System/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components
    Go back to your Perian settings and in the Audio Output button, set it to 'Multi Channel Sound' - Ignore the message Perian puts up and select it.
    By doing a 'Get Info' on your files and where it says 'Open With' - default them to the QuickTime 7 program. Perian no longer will work with QuickTime Player so you must have QT 7.6.6 and set it so it is the default for all the filetypes you use.
    It works perfectly with QT7. So far I've gotten ALL my old videos to play.
    .avi, .mov (with the AC3 sound), .wmv, .flv, .mp4 and .m4v. all run fine as do all the older formats.
    Good luck!
    Deb.

  • Can I watch movies stored on tc through wi-fi on my mac

    can I watch movies stored on tc through wi-fi on my mac?

    Streaming over wireless.. Hmmm if I say it works well and it doesn't I will get the blame.. if I say it doesn't work and he tries it and finds out it does.. he will think I'm a dupe or a dope..
    There is no single right answer. On paper yes, wireless can do it.. in practice.. it depends on a huge number of variables. My experience.. and not with this equipment.. is that wireless can happily stream a show for an hour.. and then suddenly start to judder and flutter and pause and cause angst and misery. I don't trust it. Try it and see.. it might work good for you. It might work sometimes.. it might not work at all. Or it could just be snail like slow. Use the experimental method.. suck and see.
    On more general note.. what files are you going to play from the TC.. I use WD Live as it plays everything.. Apple make the ATV to link to itunes.
