My mac no longer will play videos in itv player yet the windows laptop plays them no problem

I've been watching ITV Player for months on my MAC and now, all of a sudden, all i'm getting when i try to play a programme is the black screen with the 'loading' circle that remains on until i close the window.
Out of curiosity, i switched on my old Microsoft laptop to try it and it works perfectly!!!???

Which web browser are you using - Safari? You could try Google Chrome which has Flash built-in.
Another thought, and I don't know whether this applies, but does ITV Player need Microsoft Silverlight to work, perhaps? Check your Applications or Utilities to see if it is installed and whether it needs updating.
It's been a while since I've used any of the UK catch-up services, but I seem to rembember one of the channels needed Silverlight installed. If you have an out-of-date version it's possbile that OS X could block that.

  • My firefox browser no longer closes, minimizes, or restore up or down the window, all of them are grayed out

    Whenever I have Firefox browser window open, and then select to open a private browsing window, the open Firefox browser red X close button grays out and does not close, minimize, or restore up or down. This happens to both the regular Firefox browser window and the private browsing window.
    Sometimes, this occurs when only the regular Firefox browser is open and not any private browsing windows.

    Hi CoolDave,
    Thank you for posting your question. I understand that when you have both a private window open and a regular window open, sometimes the window will not minimize or restore, and that the buttons at the top of the screen are greyed out.
    In order to better investigate this issue, can you please try the following:
    * Does this happen in Safe Mode? '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    *Is this the only program this is happening to? And if you use the short cuts to minimize and maximize the windows, does the window respond to these? [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly#w_windows-tabs]

  • I had all my old home video's and super 8 movies converted to DVD's. Since I will move back to Europe I asked the company to convert them to PAl system.

    I had all my old home video's and super 8 movies converted to DVD's. Since I will move back to Europe I asked the company to convert them to PAl system. I just got all the DVD's for a lot of money, but I can not play any of them on my MAC book.(I think that is because they were burned on zone 1 dvd's and my lap top works with zone 2.
    I wonder how I can make them work on my macbook..? I intended to start editing those movies so I need to be able to play them on my mac. Is there a way to copy them to zone 2 DVD's and or to zone 0 dvd's and where do I get those free zone or zone 1 recordable dvd's?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV 2 will play all the content in your iTunes library that your Apple TV 1 does. It can no longer sync any of it but can stream it all just as the older model did. Airplay is a different feature that lets you stream from an iPad/iPhone, the Apple TV 2 has Airplay the first didn't.
    You can still sort and search content by genre, it still marks content watched and unwatched and mainly still lets you organise much as the Apple TV 1 did, with one exception. It doesn't do nested folders, so the ability to tag a movie as a show (ie James Bond) and have all the associated movies in a James bond folder has gone and it lists all these movies individually.
    It has a similar situation with TV shows. It will put all TV shows in a series in a folder as the older one did, but the new one lists each series separately whereas the older model would put all the series in one folder.
    Not nesting folders is a bit of a pain with large libraries and whilst I don't like it, it's more or less the only compromise I have to make and of course I get additional features too.

  • The Elements 12 Mac disk works fin - I also have a Dell, and the Windows disk will not run at all, sounds like it's grinding, and is almost impossible to remove from the hard drive.  I cannot find any place to tell me who to CALL to ask for a replacement!

    Hi Samcat,
    You can use a download instead of the disk as an alternative: Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe you can license with your serial
    Please test the disk in another windows machine to check if it's caused by the drive or the disk. If you tested with 2 drives please start a support case, i assume Adobe will only provide downloads at this point. They are the same as the trials. If you still need a disk you can burn the trial to a disk as a backup disk. Good luck!

    I have no idea how much it will cost to repair. I don't even know what the exact problem will prove to be. It may be quick if it isn't a motherboard problem. I just don't know. Take it in for a service diagnostic, then they can tell you what is involved.

    How do I move Elements 8 projects (slide shows) from a Windows XP computer to new Windows 7 computer that also has Elements 8 on it so that the slides shows will work (Elements 8 works well on the Windows 7 computer & I have done several new slide show projects on it)?    I tried backup & restore without success.  I have also found the .psess files and copied them to the catalog in the new computer but when the sides shows are opened none of the images or music is there.  Only the text that I entered shows.  I have even tried to replicate the file paths from the XP computer to the new computer to see if that will help.

    UPDATE:  By a stroke of luck I happened to find a catalog link (a PSE8D file) in the 'My Catalog' file where the imported data was stored.  When I clicked on it to investigate what is was 'magically' all of my transferred projects appeared in Organizer.  Upon further investigation I found that the projects transferred from my XP computer were stored in a hidden catalog that had to be accessed through the Custom Location option in Catalog Manager (accessed by clicking File then Catalog then Custom Location).  No Windows or Elements search revealed this fact.  I am appreciative that I just got lucky.  The Adode/Photoshop company was absolutely of no help.  If fact to me their structure is designed to avoid contact with their customers unless you're buying a new product.  Their products have many good features (even though user unfriendly) and it's a shame they don't value their customers more once the sale is completed. 
    Bottom line:  All of the projects (sideshows) have been recovered and work in my new Windows 7 computer.  I hope my experience helps others.

  • I recently noticed that several of the movies I purchased in ITunes no longer will play. A notice screen pops up and says they are unable to locate. The do however play on my new AppleTV that I just set up. Is there a fix for this?

  • IPod no longer will play content or connect to iTunes!

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to iTunes 8.1 last night... I decided to do my wife a favor and get the latest version... big mistake.
    OK, so i download and install 8.1, but it won't start up after the 8.1 is installed, keeps giving me an error 13014. I do some research and find that I might need to disconnect the iPod and restart the machine. Which I do. And iTunes comes back up, no error. Brilliant! or so I thought.
    I never reattached the ipod, so my wife leaves for work and calls me MAD. What did you do to my iPod?! Um... nothing? well, nothing really... i just unmounted it and took it off the machine while i installed the new itunes.
    OK, so she gets home, I look at the ipod it shows half of it's capacity is used, but if you go to music it says there isn't any...
    Then I plug it in to the mac and BLEEP! itunes can't recognize this iPod, why don't you reset to #$*@ factory settings.
    Do you have any idea how much trouble this is going to cause me?
    I should add that this falls on the heals of some INSANELY ridiculous problems that i have been debugging with her itunes, ever since the genius (sarcasm) crap showed up in itunes her brand new iMac has been running iTunes like a 286. scrap that... like a TI pocket calc. It skips, it 'can't save library', it won't import some songs, it imports cd's at speed approaching never! I was all happy for her to have her first Mac, and now... i may never live it down. She revels in pointing out how messed up apple's licensing of the new ipod headphones is... she is turning into a hater.

    This wound up being a hardware issue with the ipod.

  • Trouble viewing videos taken with iPhone 4s on Windows laptop

    I am having trouble viewing videos taken with my iPhone 4s on my Windows laptop.  Here are my versions:
    Windows 7
    IOS 6.1.3
    iTunes 11.0.3.0.42
    Quicktime 7.7.4
    The videos I am unable to play have been copied from my iPhone cache folder into another folder.  The first issue I noticed was the thumbnail for the videos are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise in both folders.  The videos were taken with the camera in the portrait position, as opposed to the camera being held sideways or the landscape position.
    I tried to play the videos using iTunes and an error saying " iTunes has stopped working.  Checking for a solution".  Then I get, "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  Sadly, no solution has been sent to me.
    If I try to use QuickTime, the videos "attempt" to play but the audio skips and locks or the video skips and locks.  Eventually, the video completely stops.  Also, there is a green bar on the left of the screen the runs from top to bottom.  This bar is not visible in any other views of the videos.
    If I try to use Windows Media Player, the videos play great, except they are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, like the thumbnails.
    All of the videos still play perfectly on my iPhone 4s.
    Thank you all in advance for your help.

    One week and 41 views later, no one has a fix for this?  Or is no one else encountering this issue??

  • I have an old powerPC G4. dual 867 512 MB. my optical drive is having trouble reading my leopard installer.  I was going to try to use remote install but i don't have a network where I can connect both the mac and the windows laptop.  any suggestions?

    I'm just trying to revive my old PowerPC G4/ dual 867MHz 512MB.  Unfortunately I am unable to install from disc since my optical drive, although still working, is somehow not able to read the leopard installer.  I wanted to try the remote install option but have limited resources and don't have a network where I can have both the Mac desktop and windows laptop communicate.  I read somewhere that I can use a crossover cable to connect the two directly.  I'm still trying to see if I can get an external DVD-ROM as another option.  Any suggestions?

    Your Mac doesn't need a crossover cable, it auto-switches...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2274
    But I have no idea how that will help you install from a Windows computer.
    If you get an external DVD drive it needs to be Firewire & Mac bootable.

  • How can page margins be changed when printing from Firefox for Mac OS X? (This is easy to do on the Windows version.)

    Page margins can be adjusted from the page setup menu in the Windows version of Firefox, but there does not appear to be an equivalent menu in the Mac version.

    Hi onlyhuman2-
    I'm not familiar with the printing options using Windows. I've found this article on editing print options for a Mac: [[Printing a web page]]
    That shows you how to shrink the page, and to edit page headers and footers. I'm hoping that covers the margins you were hoping to change.
    Good luck!
