I cannot play videos on my macbook pro laptop.

since my last update (a week ago), I cannot play videos on my macbook pro laptop. I can play youtube vids if I go to the website but I cannot play videos from CNN or any other website where before I could. Any reason?

Me either, since I installed a new operating system on my mac book pro - I followed a suggestion of deleting all Flash Player files through system preferences, closing Safari while I install a new version of Flash, but I got an error message saying 'unable to complete installation' - problem remains. Any help, peeps?

    How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

    What model MacBook Pro do you have? On my late 2011, I used to use a Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter to get video and audio from my Mac to my television. I used this adapter from Monoprice. Worked great - I just no longer use it because I bought a 27" monitor.
    You can also use AirPlay mirroring if you've the right MBP and an Apple TV - but the wired method works, too.

  • Cannot Play Videos In Quicktime 7 Pro

    Hello,
    I have just purchased QuickTime 7 Pro so i can convert my .AVI Video files to .M4V so i can play and list them in my itunes film library.
    However when i try to play a film i get 1 of 2 problems.
    1) the film plays but no sound OR audio is played but the film acts as if its playing.
    2) the film plays audio only however the audio is skipping and jumping and clicking through out and there is NO Video.
    I have downloaded Xvid encoders and DIVX Encoders but these do not seem to have changed anything.
    any help would be great as i have just spent £20 on QuickTime 7 Pro for the conversion feature that i cannot use because of the above errors. (when i do convert a film its just blank)
    Cheers.

    i have spent £20 on a program that does not do as it was intended for (as it stated it did
    Nothing in Apple's literature or documentation says that it handle XVID. And the DivX formats are that company's responsibility; Apple mentions DivX, but they don't make the codec. So QuickTime Pro is probably doing exactly what was stated. You might talk to DivX about the DX50 movies. I can't see anything on their site that says that their codec pack works with QuickTime Player on Windows systems, but there might be something I'm missing.
    As to a refund, probably not. Apple's standard policy on any electronic software purchase is that there are no refunds. This is especially likely when the problem is not with QuickTime but rather than your needs differ from what QuickTime offers. You can contact the Apple Store and ask, though.
    Regards.

  • HT3775 What codec do I need to play video that is called .avi.  It will not play on my new Macbook Pro.

    What codec do I need to add to play a video that is called .avi
    It will not play on my new Macbook Pro since I put it into the movies section of my launchpad.  When it was on the desktop It worked fine.  I moved it back to the desktop and it still does not work.
    The error message says  The document "   .avi" could not be opened.
    A required codec is not available.

    Download VLC Media Player which plays anything you throw at it and  Perian (AVI and FLV support).

    Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

  • Can I play HD video on my macbook pro?, Can I play HD video on my macbook pro?

    Hi
    I am curious about why I am unable to play HD videos on my Macbook Pro? If i am using an HDMI cable to an HD TV, then I can't play any HD videos?
    Please help (my computer knowledge is limited).
    Curious learner

    The short answer is you should be able to, but tell us what happens when you try and we'll try to help.
    Can you play the video on your Mac's screen (not connected to the TV)?
    When you connect to the TV with HDMI, do you see a desktop appear? (Before you start the movie.)
    What kind of movie are you playing, and from where?

  • HT201335 I want to watch an iTunes rental video on my MacBook Pro but stream the sound to my Airport Express linked speakers.  However re Airplay icon doesn't show up in iTunes when playing the rental video.  Is there a way around that?

    I want to watch an iTunes rental video on my MacBook Pro but AirPlay the audio to my AirPort Express linked speakers.  However the AirPlay icon isn't available when arching the rental video in iTunes.   Is there another way?  Do I need to but an AppleTV?  I don't own a TV, hence why I want to watch on my MacBook Pro.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    With or without an Apple TV you can't send video to one device and audio to another using AirPlay.

  • I can not open youtube videos on my macbook pro

    i can not open youtube videos on my macbook pro, it says "this video is currently unavailable" in every video I open

  • I cannot tranfer video from my macbook to ipod touch.

    I cannot tranfer video from my macbook to ipod touch, I drag and drop my video to my itunes from my movies folder on my macbook, but it flips back, thus I have nothing to sink to my ipod touch. i have followed the tutorials but nothing works, any advice would be great.

    Hi and welcome to Apple discussion.
    Usually, when I get this message, that means the movie/video is not able to be play using my iPod touch. So, what I'll do is that, I'll open the movie/video in QuickTime and share it to iTunes. Then, my movie/video can be transfer into my iPod.
    Hope that helps.
    Regards,
    Daniel90.

  • Cannot play video Safari

    I can't watch most of the news websites: ctvnews.ca for exemple cannot play videos! thats so weired, even Chrome same problem, I have on my iMac and MapBook pro!
    I reset both browsers! nothing! same problem!
    software is updated too I mean flash player! I don't install plug-ins usually to avoide slow browsing!
    I downloaded firefox and it is working better but I am used to Safari! what to do?

    From the Safari menu bar (top of your screen) click Help > Installed Plugins
    That will show all your installed plugins. BTW, Flash is a plugin.
    Try this...
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Back to Safari. Press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
    Quit and relaunch Safari, try a video.
    If that doesn't help, you may have the YouTube  HTML5 beta enabled.
    Opt out here >  YouTube
    The DivX plugin can prevent Flash content from loading.
    Check ~/Library/Internet Pug-Ins and /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
