  • Videos on websites won't play

    Hi,
    I'm having problems with video boxes not loading on websites.
    the websites i use a lot are ESPN.com and soccernet.com
    The last 2-3 days the video playback box that they have are just not loading. it seems like my clicks are not being responded.
    anyone having the same problem?
    I had a problem on facebook.com and when I emptied my cache it solved the non-responsive inputs, but didn't seem to do the trick for other websites' problems.

    That was a quick jump from "some" to "most".  
    Because they use Flash, and Flash is not supported on iPads or any other "i" device. Never has been.  Type "Flash" in the search box at the top of this screen for a few tens of thousands of discussions re Flash.

  • I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work?

    I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

    You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

  • Video on YouTube won't play !

    Video on YouTube won’t play Until I refresh the page? However, when the video ends okay then can not play the video again? Video plays only once then had to refresh the page in order to watch the same video?

    Hi G-hot, were you able to solve your other issues with Youtube from your earlier thread, or is this an additional problem with Youtube? I think if you could list all the problem in one list it might be helpful.

    Also, did you do the usual?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first on Youtube and Gmail). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then change the site at the top from youtube.com to google.com and clear those as well.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Videos on website won't load/play immediately

    hello everyone,
    i've been trying to find an answer for a week now but without much luck.
    using adobe flash catalyst, i recently created a website with 20 uploaded videos (FLV format; ranging from 2mb ~ 40mb each) and when you click onto any one of them, they will load and play. but here's the problem - they won't play immediately (won't load and play at the same time, WHILE being downloaded in the background - unlike youtube), and most of the time when you click on a video, you'll have to wait (the loading bar won't even start downloading until a good 20-30 seconds after clicking play) while some videos load and play immediately.
    my question is, what do i need to do so my videos will load/play almost immediately after clicking play, while simutaneously being downloaded in the background? is there a way to preload my videos?
    i understand i'll need flash builder to code all this?
    i'm new to making websites and i would appreciate all the help given.
    kenny

    Drat! You might try looking through the Flash Builder forums to see if they might have a video playback tips. There might some property that Flash Catalyst is not exposing or something in the app itself that needs to be changed.
    If you have Flash Professional, you could try creating a simple FLV player using it and see what the performance is like from the server.

  • QT video on our website won't play (two issues, clearly described)

    Sorry for the long post... lots to cover and I want to be clear.
    ISSUE 1:
    I'm building a website for a client which will eventually include dozens of short instructional videos dealing with music theory. I built a temporary QuickTime test file in order to begin testing the site. The test video features a short musical chord in the audio track and a simple logomark which appears and then fades out. The finished QT files will feature videos of musicians performing, plus related instructional content. The QuickTime test file was built in iMovie; the finished QuickTime files will be built in Final Cut.
    The test video specs are: 240 x 180 pixels, H.264, 128 KBPS (let me know if you need more specs). I did not choose the "hinted" (prepare for Internet streaming) option when I exported the test video from iMovie.
    When I test the temporary QT file using Firefox, it works as expected. Same with Explorer. A new window opens and the QT file plays normally. In Safari on my PowerBook, it's fine, too. In Safari on my old G4 tower, however, a new window opens and only the audio portion of the QT file plays: The video portion does not. The QT 'playback bar' jumps up the page (where the video portion should be) and plays the audio only.
    Here's a link to a test page. When you get there, click the "WATCH A TEST VIDEO" link.
    http://www.muzoracle.com/muzweb/watchittemp/videoconstruction.html
    Both test Macs are running QT 7.2 and Safari 2.0.4 (419.3). I can't imagine why results are different in Apple's official browser on two different Macs... and why everything works fine in Firefox and Explorer. I've reset Safari on the buggy one. I've ditched QT prefs and even downloaded a fresh copy of QT 7.2. I've tried everything I can think up. No luck. I have no idea what Windows PC users might expect.
    I'd appreciate reading the results others on this forum observe. The last thing we want is for visitors to have a frustrating experience when the site goes public. We want it to be seamless and we want it to "just work" (as Apple's Mac ads are fond of saying). Since we've settled on using QuickTime exclusively on our site, we already anticipate that some PC users will need to go download the free QT player (and we've provided links to do so)... that's about as far as we're willing to push people who simply wish to view our video content.
    ISSUE 2:
    Our ISP offers streaming content as part of its web hosting package. They have Darwin and Helix DNA set up to play various formats, including QuickTime (.mov) files. Although their upper-level techs assure me that it's all working on their end, none of the content we've created streams from their server to our Macs. They're all on Windows PCs. I spoke with a general-level tech support representative on the phone for about an hour the other day. She's on a Windows PC and could not get it to work. She was great... she knew her stuff and tried everything in her arsenal... working with permissions, moving things around in various directories, we tried both "hinted" and "non-hinted" versions of the file... nothing worked on any browser we tested.
    On the test page URL listed above, you'll see a link that says "WATCH A STREAMING VIDEO TEST." Please click it and tell me what happens. On all machines we've tried - Macs and PCs - in Firefox, Safari, and Explorer - we get the same results: A QT window opens and displays a message saying "Switching transports." This message is displayed for about a minute and is eventually replaced by various messages, including "Not Found," "404" (which I assume means the file cannot be found), a QT logo with a question mark in it, "-3258: Disconnected," and "415: Unspecified Media Type," among others.
    Grr. I've lost about 22 hours trying to troubleshoot this issue during the last five days... hours of my life, gone forever, which I cannot in good faith bill to my client. I'm losing sleep and money.
    Thanks again for any tips and advice.

  • While in imovie, when working on a project, I can NOT view the project in the right hand screen. I have made several videos and it has always worked before. I am not able to edit the videos because they won't play in the right hand screen.

    The videos that I import (and are located on the bottom of imovie) will show up and play on the right hand screen. But if I move that clip to the actually project area it won't play in the right hand side! I somehow must have clicked something that now won't play the project videos and now plays the clips below instead! Help please I need to fix this! Everythign else works, I can still edit videos, add transitions, music, etc I just can't see it on the right hand side- so I can't edit because I can't see

    See my post here on how to do this.

  • Video from iPhone won't play on iPad

    I received a video from iPhone in an email but iPad won't play it? Any way to get it to play on iPad.

    I appreciate what you are both saying -- but it is not the music that is the problem.  The video itself is NOT blocked - you can view it on a computer -- but when you try to view it on ipad/iphone the message says, "not available on this platform".  Here is a link to a video I did in Elements 9 on Tuesday:

  • Windows media player embedded(?) in website won't play

    Hello! For some reason, the audio files on some forums won't play. For example, the audio file in first post here shows the controls for windows media player, but nothing works except for the volume slider:
    http://masterrussian.net/mforum/viewtopic.php?t=8393
    I looked over the list of installed plugins and everything seems to be in order. Can you help?

    Works just fine for me and I don't even have Windows Media Player for Mac on my computer or Flip4Mac WMV Player - but if you don't have that you might want to try it out. Flip4Mac WMV Player - with just playback functionality is completely free and is now being distributed by Microsoft to Mac users since it pulled the plug on future development of Windows Media Player.
    You might want to make sure you have proper codecs installed.
    Try AC3 Codec for Mac OS X (can Google it) for sound
    for video you can use Divx 6 for Mac OS X - make sure you have QuickTime properly installed.
    make sure before and after you make a major installation that you run Disk Utility to ensure your hard drive continues to work okay.
    Flip4Mac WMV Player lets you playback Windows Media files using Apple's QuickTime plugin.
    What browser are you using? and what version? Is it Safari? Firefox? Internet Explorer?, Opera etc?
    Also make sure iTunes is running correctly on your Mac - by default it is used most often to handle mp3 files. Hope this helps!

  • Video says it won't play on iphone 4s

    bought and downlaoded hd video to my itunes library. Go to move it to my Iphone 4s and get message saying it won't play on this iphone.

    Try resetting all settings/ restore the phone. But be sure to backup. These steps are the usual resolutions. I don't really know anything else that would solve this issue. I'm trying to look for an article for this but it didn't help. Maybe you can try searching youtube forums.

  • Video player - iPad won't play! Help?

    HHi, my i player won't play, nothing will not play all of a sudden? Any solutions greatly appreciated! Thanks jo

    Try closing the Videos App and reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Video clip previews won't play.

    Videos won't play in Adobe Premiere Elements 10, but play fine in other programs on my computer. I've tried rendering it, installing a new hard drive for scratch disk, and saving the file in different locations. Once when I applied video merge to a clip, it played. I am editing videos blindly and can't take advantage of most of the features of the program. It's really frustrating. Any ideas?

    adelante
    What is the video card/graphics card that your computer with Premiere Elements 10 uses?
    If it is NVIDIA GeForce, then you have the well known and documented Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue which is remedied by rolling back
    the driver version to about May 2013. Please review the following
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    as well as  the Announcement on this matter at the top of this forum.
    Basically you will need to plug your information into the following NVIDIA fields to determine if there is a driver version for your card that is old enough to be used.
    NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search
    If you are a Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit user, you will probably find that old enough drivers do not exist for you. Then non NVIDIA GeForce card or Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13.
    Please review and consider if any of the above applies to you. If not, then we will explore alternative troubleshooting.
    Thank you.

  • Video in iMovie won't play.

    I have edited an entire almost 45 minute long iMovie, but when I play it, certain videos I added and edited won't play, and the screen will stay on the picture that was shown before the video. How do I fix this?

    I too have this problem, includes when i add cutaways - the original video freezes and the cutaway never comes up.

  • ITunes only play audio with videos. regular songs won't play

    I have tried everything from updating, to uninstalling and downloading a new version. Music videos, movies, TV, etc. as long as there is video sound will play but plain audio won't play. I audio diamond won't move either. Everything transfers to my iPod fine. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • How do I fix? Flash videos like YouTube won't play sound on MAC OSX 10.5.8

    Sound won't play on YouTube and other flash web based videos on my MAC OSX 10.5.8 So I installed the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player and it still doesn't work. I uninstalled and reinstalled adobe flash player. Nada. I updated my computer software and firmware. Still nothing. I checked my sound and apple movie trailers play just fine.  Please assist.
    Thanks so much!!!!
    Oh, I have tried to play videos in both Safari and Firefox. No sound in both.

    Yay!!!! My business partner @goodbadtech (on twitter) fixed it.  Apple repair fixed it. Just got it back this morning. Then I updated Adobe flash as Mozilla asked me to do and the sounds disappeared again! Was so frustrated.  But Spencer found this link and that saved the day :-)
