Watching videos on Safari

I haven't been able to watch videos on websites other than youtube. If i go to something like espn.com or candystand.com and click on a video to watch or a game to play i always get a blue block with a question mark in the middle. Is there anyway to watch videos on these websites??
thanks,
matt

Macbook freezes a lot while watching video on safari?

Hello everyone,
I have a early 2007 black macbook, 2GHz, 2GB RAM dual core. I had OS X 10.4 before on my machine. So the story goes like this: once I had a little issue with ethernet cable and I went to apple store to correct it. They replaced my motherboard and that issue was fixed.
But after they replaced the motherboard a new issue has started, whenever I watch any video on safari or play a simplest of game like 'Chess' that comes with OS X, the computer freezes for 10 seconds and falters to run anything or nothing runs smooth, it slows down the mac like 100 times with hitches. If I check the activity monitor, both processor's use are at their max 100%. Its not a RAM issue as I still see lots of free or unused RAM. It just consumes both the processors.
Originally this issue was only for the high quality video pages like espn360.com and used to occur only once in a while. I went to apple again (2 years back), they kept my mac for a week but returned without doing anything. They said "We could not reproduce the problem". Over the period of 2 years the issue has worsen and now I cannot even watch a youtube video without interruption for 2 min. If I pause the video and minimize safari, everything is back to normal within a minute but if i start the video again, it falters. Same with firefox/chrome.
I tried to upgrade to snow leopard, but it was of no use. I think 10.4 was little better than 10.6. Additionally, I don't have this faltering issue if I have a downloaded video on hard drive. Now I am out of warranty, I am not sure what should I do. Will Apple still repair it, because I believe its the new motherboard's fault or the graphics card on new motherboard is bad/gone.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nik

Hi nik312, welcome to the forums!
If it's a Flash video, what version of Flash do you have installed? 10.1 is a lot faster than v9. But since it also happens in Chess, it could be an issue with OpenGL. Since you've tried the Erase and Install already, I'd try zapping the PRAM by following the instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
If that doesn't resolve your problem, I think it might a fault with your graphics card, and you might need another logic board replacement.

How to watch videos in Safari 6.1

OS X 10.8.5
I can't watch videos included on sites in Safari. All I see is a white space. Youtube works well.

Watching videos through Safari on You Tube etc

I can't seem to watch any videos through Safari for instance on You Tube. They begin loading but never play. Please help I'm getting desperate!! And please use basic English I'm not at all technically minded, thank you!

Just to expand on Baby Boomer's good advice:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, 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 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
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 should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Watching videos from Safari

I bought an Apple TV today after a great sales pitch from the sales lady. I own a MacBook Pro and an iMac. My husband uses the MacBook Pro to watch videos in online programs for work. The lady at Best Buy told me that anything that I can pull up my computer screen, I could also pull up on the Apple TV (so he could watch the videos on a larger than 13 inch screen. I am having a hard time getting videos to pull up that are not in itunes. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Sorry but the sales information was wrong.
AppleTV cannot mirror content from a Mac computer currently and we have no idea of whether or not it will be able to do so in the future.
There's a feature called Airplay for iDevices to play COMPATIBLE video from COMPATIBLE websites on AppleTV or music from itunes.
iPad2 will soon be able to mirror it's display on ATV2 - it would be nice if OS X was allowed to do so too but no guarantee.

Why is the menu bar and dock staying on top when trying to watch videos on Safari/Chrome?

I just re-installed OS X Yosemite on my macbook pro. When i try to full screen videos (such as Netflix) on Safari, Chrome, etc. the menu bar stays on top of the screen, as well as the dock. The only work around is to open the browser in full screen and then hit full screen when watching the video. This was never the case before on Yosemite or other OS X versions....
Thanks!

Watching video on safari

trying to watch a news video clip from cnn.com.
I just finished downloading my OS, reinstalling programs (all day event), and so forth.
I've downloaded the latest windows media player. Yet, the video clip from cnn won't play, stating I need the latest windows media player. I have downloaded media player 9.0, opened it, expanded it, etc. I even have it open and running, yet the same error message is being displayed. What do I need to do to safari (if anything) so that I can play video clips from a web site? Is there a plug in for safari maybe?
thx

Hi,
I have downloaded media player 9.0, opened it, expanded it, etc. I even have it open and running, yet the same error message is being displayed.
What's the error message?
Edit: Flip4Mac works fine on cnn.com (see image below)

Why can't I watch videos in Safari anymore?

Whenever I attempt to watch a Safari video (not Flash, though), the screen opens to a page of symbols. I used to be able to watch these Safari videos, but suddenly, I cannot. After I see the symbols, it usually closes and I return to the "Home" screen. Any help please?

If not flash, what format are these videos? Care to list a link to one as an example?

Watching Video with Safari

Safari seems to stall after I've watched a couple videos from the same site (e.g., www.TED.com). Reloading Safari works for a few more viewings. Any suggestions?

Updating the software may help.
Click Safari menu in the menubar and from the dropdown select Empty Cache.
Wait cursor may or may not appear for for few seconds.
Best.

Can't watch video on Safari or Firefox on OS X Tiger?

Hello again,
How can one go about installing plug-ins for Firefox 2.0 and Safari?
I installed RealPlayer 10 and during the installation it would install the appropriate plug-ins into my browsers...
This is the contents of my ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins directory:
Raven:~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins untz$ ls -al
total 400
drwx------ 5 untz untz 170 Jul 22 02:17 .
drwx------ 49 untz untz 1666 Aug 27 15:02 ..
drwxrwxr-x 4 untz untz 136 Aug 19 17:20 Macromedia
Where are the RealPlayer plugins supposedly installed? Where do I place them, in order, to get FireFox and Safari to play embedded streaming video?
Many, many thanks!
15" G4 PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi,
The RealPlayer plugin should be in this location:
Hard drive -> Library -> Internet Plug-ins
This location affects all users installed on the system.
I think RealPlayer has to be launched once to install the plugins also, so if you haven't done that give that a go.
For Windows Media streams, make sure you install the Flip4Mac plugin too.

Watching video in Safari with 10.5.1

Hi,
On my MBP,in Safari when I play a video it plays in the browser, on my macbook it opens a quicktime window. How do I make the video play in a QT windows instead of within safari?
Thanks
Fred

Fred, if you haven't already, set the MacBook QuickTime System preferences and QuickTime Player preferences the same as the MacBook Pro. Then set the Safari preferences the same. Do the same for any other video players you have.

How do you watch videos on safari?

I have been trying to watch episodes of my favorite shows on the CW and unfortunatley I can't. It says that I need to download the newest version of Adobe player and I don't know if there is already an app that does this for me. All help is greatly appreciated, because I just got my Macbook Air yesterday.

Download Adobe Flash Player from this site:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
That should be all you need.

I can't watch videos using safari!!!

And when I use the debug console, it's says QuickTime byte range error message...

In what way won't it work? Just to check - you downloaded the Adobe Flash dmg file from Adobe? Did you then run it by double-clicking on the installer dmg?
If so, and it's definitely not working, you could try again by first running the Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in the Utilities folder to completely remove all traces of Flash and then start over.
Then restart Safari. Mine worked!
