I have started having problems viewing embedded videos in Safari.

Everything was fine on my iPad 3 until a few weeks ago when the embedded YouTube videos in the forum I visit (using Safari) stopped playing. I get the message...
Your browser does not currently recognise any of the video formats available.
Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML 5 video.
...the thing is though that the videos will play if I open a new tab and go directly to YouTube (I don't use the app) and they will play if use the Atomic Web app to browse the interent.
I just want my Safari back to how it was, oh one more thing the videos play fine if I browse the same forum using Safari on my iPhone 4S.
Any real help will be very much appreciated, thanks in advance.

I am using OS X Mountain Lion. I really dont want to have to reinstall anything. An OS Reinstall is really no less annoying than a Reinstall of the CS6 package. Sadly it looks like this may be the only way forward. Just hope I can do it without losing too much from the machine as it is my work machine.
Thanks for your help and for the link. I just wish Adobe was more directly contactable about issues that come up when using their products.

  • I am having problems viewing many video sites since upgrading my IPad to IOS 7

    Has anyone been having problems viewing many video formats on ipad after upgrading to ios7.v3? I can't view most You Tube, no Netflix, etc!

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Cannot view embedded videos in Safari 6.0.5

    Running OS X 10.8.4 with Safari 6.0.5 and latest versions of all other plug-in software including Flash Player 11.8.800.94
    Embedded videos in media sites start by showing a 'Sponsors Message Ad' but then do not play the actual video.
    No problem with playing music videos in YouTube with HTLM5 disabled.
    Problem the same in Firefox 23.0.1
    Any suggestions as fixes recommended in these discussions for Safari/Flash Player problems do not resolve this isssue.
    Thanks

    The problem started when I was using OS X 10.7 and updated Safari to 6.0.5; As a last resort, or so I hoped, I installed OS X 10.8.4
    Full story probably too long but started with :
    Scanning through many threads in the safari community to get an idea of what had been tried before
    Reloaded Latest Combo OS X update, which I was told would re-install Safari & any missing files - no joy
    Deleted all extensions, reinstalled one by one with test inbetween (Flash Player webpage showed that it was working ok ) - no joy
    Checked Safari preferences for allow all plugins with numerous tests - no joy
    Cleared Safari caches - no joy
    Cleared Safari Cookies - no joy
    Cleared /Library/Internet plug-ins - no joy
    Re-installed Flash Player - no joy
    All possible combinations of the steps were carried out with each possible solution
    Note : So long as Flash Player was shown as working then the playing of YouTube videos was ok. That seemed to indicate that the problem was in both Safari & Firefox browsers not identifying the media video after the sponsors ad had played.
    I am in Australia and the media sites being used are au.yahoo.com and ninemsn.com.au ; interestingly when linking to UK & USA media sites or YouTube the problem goes away.
    Could this imply that au.yahoo & ninemsn are using different codec conventions that Flash Player doesn't recognise or even some files got lost in the upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Let me know if you need more detailed information as I'm beginning to think that only a clean installation of Mountain Lion may resolve the problem.
    Many thanks for your interest.

  • Problems with embedded Video in Safari

    I have an issue when I try to open an embedded video within either safari.
    I can not open anything, and if the embedded video is Quicktime based, I just get the large 'Q' (Quicktime) sitting in the middle and no video.
    Can anyone help or tell me how I fix my Plugins within the browser please?
    Many Thanks
    Gary

    How to view/hear pretty much everything:
    Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    The world should now be your oyster!
    You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • I have started having problems with the png dialogue box in Photoshop cs6

    When I go to save the image I am working on, the PNG Dialogue box is black , I mean that the radial and submit buttons show up but the rest is just black so i cannot see exactly what I am doing. I cannot work out how to fix this and would really like to avoid a total reinstall of my CS6 package.
    This issue does not happen using the PSD or JPG save options either so i am baffled.
    Kind Regards

    PS- Does anyone know if it is still possible to talk directly to Adobe via thier live chat option as I could not find it when I wanted to inform them of this directly

  • HT204382 Having problems viewing my video's on quick time player

    What program can I download to support my quicktime player??

    Try a generic troubleshooting step. Close all of your apps in the recents tray and reboot your iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HELP! Problem viewing Youtube videos.

    Hello,
    I am having problems viewing Youtube videos. Everything was great until the other day. I have not changed anything on my computer to create this problem.
    Diagnosis:
    when viewing videos straight from youtube.com with Safari, it loads and starts to play the video & audio. after the first second the visual video disappears and the audio keeps playing. I can scroll throughout the video, but no picture.
    I do not understand, I have updated everything and still same outcome. It was working the other day fine and then boom, no video. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
    Thank you for you help,
    B

    Sounds like a problem with Flash. I'd recommend visiting Adobe's web site and updating to the most current version for OS X.

  • Hi everyone. I have just started having problems with iCal.  Events that I thought I had deleted are appearing on Print Preview and on print outs. Likewise Events which I have not deleted have disappeared from my calenders, but appear in print preview.

    Hi everybody. I have recently started having problems with iCal (Version 2.05 (1069). Events that I thought I had deleted appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. Likewise Events that I have not deleted have disappeared from my calender (Month View) but appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. I see that there have been similar problems with Events disappearing especially in Month View. I wondered how print preview seemrd to be picking everything up deleted or not, and what the solution may be?. First time of Posting. I hope I haven't embarassed myself.

    Hmmmm.
    At the very least there must be a "com.apple.ical.plist"...iCal would not function without it.
    Click on the Finder icon in the dock
    Click on Go > Home
    Double-click Library
    Double-click Preferences
    Look for a file called "com.apple.ical.plist" and remove it to the trash.

  • HAVING PROBLEMS VIEWING VIDEOS...

WHAT SHOULD I DO?....WE TRY TO DOWNLOAD...AFTER DOWNLOAD IT STILL KEEPS DOING THE SAME THING OVER...I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT A PLUGIN IS OR HOW I CAN GET ONE...COULD YOU HELP ME OUT?...THANK YOU...

    Try posting in the QuickTime for Mac forum. You'll be more likely to get help there than you will here in the QuickTime for Windows forum.
    Good luck.
    Forum Tip: It is generally considered inappropriate behavior to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting. Uppercase is also more difficult to read, so please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you won’t need to do here .

  • Problems viewing embedded flash videos

    About 2 weeks ago I had the error message while on Youtube that I needed to update my flash software. I did so and since then I can't see any videos that are embedded on websites. I can see them if I click on the direct link only and it pops up the youtube page, otherwise all I can see is an icon. Is there a way to go back to my older version of flash? I just checked IE manage add ons and it says that I have 9.0.28.0 still enabled, but when I go to the Adobe page that detects what version I am using it says I have the latest version 10.something. I am running I.E. 8 (which I dislike) is it possible to go back to I.E. 7 and avoid all this mess? If so how? I haven't run the latest Windows updates, btw. I do have Google Toolbar which I love. Please don't tell me to get rid of it because it was a pain finding it and installing it after I updated to I.E.8 and it threw it out.
    Any help would be appreciated as I need to be able to view embedded videos.

    Hi SF, I think at this point you will need to Uninstall and Install the new version of FP 10.0.42.34. The Shockwave Flash
    Object Flash10c.ocx did not get installed in manage add ons, even tho you installed FP 10.0.32.18.
    Here is the link for the Uninstaller that you will after you click on the "Windows version" SAVE to your desktop:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Here is the link for the Installer that you will run immediately after Uninstalling:http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    This will NOT be saved to your desktop.
    (I had an internet outage this morning or I would have posted this sooner)
    Follow the instructions completely for the Uninstall and be sure to Reboot TWICE to clear out all old versions. After the Install, Reboot Once.
    After you are finished go here to test:   http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    Then test your websites to see if everything is working as it should and post back.
    Thanks

  • Hello I am having problems viewing areas of a pdf...it's a form fillable pdf that someone else has completed and saved..I'm able to view all but the areas that have been filled in.. any info would help

    Hello I am having problems viewing areas of a pdf...it's a form fillable pdf that someone else has completed and saved..I'm able to view all but the areas that have been filled in.. any info would help

    Hi Bob, I just tried your suggestion, but the interactive PDF is in spreads by default, no way to change the setting. When I choose to view by single page in Acrobat, it displays a single spread.
    When I choose to view by spreads, it displays 4 pages, two spreads. That's the topic of this whole discussion, I believe. I do own CS 6 at home, however my employer supplied me with CS 5.5. And I have very little, if any, influence on purchasing.
    So, I have no good way to make an interactive PDF (with differing recto/verso headers and footers), that is accessible and shows the correct header/footer. It's either single pages (with one header/footer), or recto/verso headers/footers but PDF only as a spread, as well as I can tell.
    Unless you know something else I can do...
    Best, Marilyn

  • Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use  cmd+ r  when restarting. Is this the right way?

    Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r  when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

    Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
    Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
    No idea why that was suggested.
    You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
    Check these folders:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Input Methods/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/ScriptingAdditions
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    ~/Library/Input Methods/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
    The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.
