Safari won't play videos?

Hi, I don't really know anything about software, but I can't play videos (youtube, other websites).  Is there something I need to update or download?  My computer has OS X 10.7.3 and Safari 5.1.3
Thank you.

That is indicative of Flash content on the site, and Fl;ash isn't supported on the iPhone. the subject is quite divisive with many saying that Adobe should produce a compatible iPhone plug-in with equally as many saying that they have and even more people saying that its a poor medium etc.
As I said, its a hot topic but Apple are going the HTML5/H264 route so don't expect Flash any time soon - if at all. At least lack of Flash buts down the annoying adverts.

  • Safari won't play videos (or anything else for that matter)

    Hi folks,
    I have a MacBook Pro running all the latest software and it seems that Safari's having trouble playing things, like videos. Nothing works: Flash, HTML5 or QuickTime. Tried it all. MP3s won't play in the browser either. I've looked around and many of the other people who have this problem have it magically disappear with an update, no such luck for me. Apple isn't going to be useful for less than $49 either. Anyone have any insight?
    Thanks!

    Hi...
    MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)  < your profilel
    I have a MacBook Pro running all the latest software
    If your profile is correct, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update. The most recent Lion version available is v10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7
    For troubleshooting Flash.
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    Spend $49 for what? QuickTime is pre installed on your Mac. If you are using HTML5, that can prevent Flash content from streaming.
    For QuickTime. Check Safari > Preferences > Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that OFF, quit then relaunch Safari. Try a QT video.
    Not sure if this will work for recent versions of Safari for mp3, but won't hurt to try >  http://www.kalvster.com/macintosh/save-download-mp3-files-in-macintosh-safari.ht ml

  • Safari won't play videos which require flash player

    I have a 13 inch macbook with safari 5, which on my account will not play videos on youtube, bbc iplayer and other sites. Safari will play the videos on the root user and another account. I have installed flash player, shockwave player, and adobe air, but safari still doesn't play videos. please help.

    Hi
    Safari-Preferences-Security-Enable Plug Ins is checked on ?
    you've no Safari extensions enabled ? (remove them, restart safari & test again)
    look in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and Input Managers for any software that may interfere with Flash
    also in System Preferences-Accounts-Login Items .
    Failing all those - quit safari & move home/library/preferences/com.apple.safari.plist to the desktop
    also, trash home/library/preferences/macromedia/Flash Player/

  • Safari Won't Play Videos on Blog Pages

    All the videos on my blog and other's blogs won't play. When I click on the play button I get a message in the video box that says, This video is not currently available. Please try again later.
    What can I do to play videos?

    The site requires the Flash plugin.
    Try uninstalling then reinstalling.. see if that helps.

    Sometimes deleting Flash cookies can help too.

  • Safari won't play video after the latest Adobe Flash upgrade on my iMac

    I'm sure that it coincident with the most recent Adobe update. I get a message like "Plugin not found" inside what should be a video box.
    I think I have the same Flash version installed on my MacBook, and that works fine. Only my iMac is affected.

  • Youtube won't play videos on Safari

    I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and Safari won't play any youtube videos on youtube. However on some other sites linked videos will play. I've tried (multiple times) to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash Player to no avail. Any other solutions?

    Hi ...
    If you have ClickToFlash installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. The plugin is located in:   /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    Empty the Safari cache more often. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Quit then relaunch Safari, try a video.

  • Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

    Hi,
    I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
    I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
    Many thanks,
    Ian Pickering

    This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
    I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
    The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
    Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.

    Is it a Flash issue perhaps?

  • Quicktime won't play videos online. ???

    I just downloaded quicktime, and then restarted my computer. But it still won't play videos online. I'm not sure if it is like this for all sites, but i have one site in particular that won't play videos. Any ideas? I have Windows 7 by the way.

    I come across this a lot, actually. I'm tired of having to switch to Firefox in order to view certain quicktimes. Here's a clip that won't play for me:
    http://www.chartoonz.com/index.html
    I can't figure it out because Safari will play quicktimes, even other h264 quicktimes, but then I'll run across an h264 on someone's site and I get the question mark.

  • My computer won't play videos..

    My computer won't play videos on news sites or videos I have successfully uploaded and others have viewed on Facebook. It's fairly new- do I need a new version of Safari? I have version 5.0.

    Do you have the Flash player installed? If not, go to Adobe and install the newest version.

  • My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

    My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.  When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet)  in full screen mode just fine.  When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing.  I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse.  Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

  • Why does Safari no longer play video?

    When IOS 8 came out & the macbook software was also updated around that same time (Nov/Dec 2014?), Safari no longer plays videos. It continuously claims that I need the most recent version of Adobe Flash installed and even though I do that, & other browsers can play videos without issue, Safari can't play any of them!!! Apple is getting worse than Microsoft nowadays with such issues popping up everywhere & never being resolved.

    1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
        Press “Delete All” button under “Browsing Data and Settings”.
    2. Install Adobe Flash Player.
        http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
        Download it and quit Safari from Safari menu in the menu bar.
        Follow the prompts to install Adobe Flash Player.
    3.  Allow  Plug-ins  
        Safari > Preferences > Security
        Internet Plug-ins >  "Allow  plug-ins"
        Enable it.

  • Safari doesn't play video

    Just unpacked my new iMac, updated software and run the Safari. Safari doesn't play video (tutorials) on apple.com. Still, I can hear audio well.
    Please help.

    Hi Nels, I had the same problem, and I have discovered the solution, it´s fairly simple:
    Go to: Safari / Preferences click on the tab extensions and there you will probably have extensions set to ON, you just have to turn extensions OFF (the alternative plugin (DivX) is causing this video error.
    greets!

  • Safari won't play embedded slide show in my website, when it has previously

    Safari won't play an embedded slideshow in my website.
    It has been working for several months. It still works with firefox, but as i am a preferred mac and safari user, it bothers me for other safari users who may visit my site.
    website is www.paulwarrendesign.net
    click on BIO
    Click on the Prey link on the lefthand side. It opens, and when you use the play slide manually, you can see that the pics are there. For some reason the slideshow will not play.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Paul
    as you may know - your website simply links to this page at theage.com.au
    that page doesn't do much except load a Flash-based slideshow here
    the slideshow is created by some software called "Soundslides" and there is a known bug ( now fixed it seems, but would require theage.com.au to put new versions of soundslider.swf on their system....or make some other changes to the way their servers deal with audio.
    I guess you could innocently tell theage.com.au that their page fails on Safari ( also Opera and Realplayer for me ) & hope they fix it.... maybe even point 'em to the fix? .
    ahem, err failing that, your only option 'd be to get your web guy to make the slideshow on your own website's server; although copyright over the images/sound might be an issue?. If you go that route, the basic soundslider software is pretty cheap ( US $40 ) from http://soundslides.com/ and instructions here
    I should add that once you've got images/sound that you are entitled to use.... there are any number of free methods to make a similar slideshow.
