Web page videos won't run

I have a brand new 27" iMac.  When I try to run videos from the Yahoo web page or You Tube, nothing happens.  Video won't run.  However, when I go to the Apple web page, I can run the Apple videos without any problems.

Chances are very good it's an Adobe Flash issue. Apple no longer ships new computers with Flash on it, the solution is easy though navigate to:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/  then download it and install.
BTW you also have 90 days of free AppleCare service,  you can call them and they will coach you through any other issues you're running into. You can find the phone number in your manual.

  • Web pages sometimes won't stop running

    Please help me with this issue I have been having for a long time. Often when I open a web page it will keep running/loading multiple times, rather than stopping after loading once. This sometimes causes lag when I'm trying to scroll down the page. Moreover, when I try to use the back arrow to go back a page it just stays on the same page. When I right click the back arrow (which shows the pages this tab has been on) it will show the same page numerous times.
    E.G. right now when I right click the back arrow it says this:
    ask a question|mozilla support
    ask a question|mozilla support
    ask a question|mozilla support
    ask a question|mozilla support
    ask a question|mozilla support
    mozilla support
    yahoo.com
    ufc.com
    ...and so on.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Note that your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
    You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • Safari 5.1.2 still does not allow me to view PDF documents in web pages.  I am running OSX Lion 10.7.2. Any suggestions

    Safari 5.1.2 still does not allow me to view PDF documents in web pages.  I am running OSX Lion 10.7.2. Any suggestions?

    Read here >  Known Issues | Adobe products on Mac OS 10.7 Lion
    And go to ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Move the PDF Browser plugin to the Trash.
    Quit Safari, empty the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari.  You should be able to view PDF files now.

  • Video won't run. telling me to update flash player. click on update for mac won't load?

    video won't run, telling me to update flash player, click on update for mac won't update. do i need to load flash player and is it ok for mac?

    Yes, it's fine for your Mac ...
    Most sites such as YouTube require the Flash plugin.
    Flash isn't a player per se, but a plugin.
    Sometimes uninstalling the current plugin then reinstalling new can help.
    Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Make sure and uninstall the old plugin first then restart your Mac.
    If you use Safari to view videos, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.

  • YouTube videos won't run

    Suddenly, YouTube videos won't run. Instead of the video you see "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player". Followed the link and installed the upgrade but problem persists. Starting with add-ons disabled doesn't help. ???

    Make sure that your firewall isn't blocking the plugin-container process.

  • Web page video - what file type would you recommend?

    I've stood up a web page for selling things (house, musical instrument, chipper-shredder, rent an apartment, etc.) and would like to have a few videos included. The plan is to save the video on the server and not use hyperlinks to places like vimeo and youtube. For one thing, vimeo doesn't allow a basic member to use their site for selling things.
    A. Screen view size: I would like something, say, 2.5 to 3 inches high X whatever width the proportion would be (4:5 or 16:9), minimum.
    B. Resolution: Most of what I've recorded is in 1440CBR but reducing the quality to keep the file size small is VERY important. I'm not looking for Full Hi-Def, just something that gets the message across.
    C. It is very desirable for the visitor to be able to start viewing the video as soon after clicking on the hyperlink as possible. If they have to wait for a few MegaBytes to be downloaded they probably won't stick around. Also, there will be no advertising on my web page which should be nice.
    D. The file format should be viewable by both Macs and PCs. Questions:
    1. Is *.mp4 H.264 the most universal format?
    2. Should I "Share" to a QuickTime format and assume the PC users will have QuickTime on their machine?
    3. FCPx uses the "Share" menu in order to Export. What would you recommend for a Share setting (file type) so it will do what I would like to do?
    Is there anything I left out that would be good to know???
    Editorial comment: This has been a total struggle.
    My resources:
    FCPX 10.0.3 (have not updated yet. Waiting until the dust settles)
    MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 5,1 2.53 8GB memory Lion
    MacPro 1,1 Lion
    Passport drive: 1TB for video storage
    MacBook White 1,1 (for email and Internet surfing) 10.6.8

    Hi again,
    I'm happy with the Audioengine 5 which I have on the computer desk about 2' ~ 3'
    away so I'd call them 'near field'. You should have a shelf on your desk so the speakers are roughly at your head height.  I'm also using a 12" Velodyne powered sub in this set-up which sits on the floor to my right.
    here are some 'home' studio designs:

  • Videos won't run on certain sites

    Why won't videos run on the O'Reilly Factor web site but will on the FoxNews site. Same with On the Record? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player several times. Deleted cookies and cache several times. FireFox won't run them.  The Guest User used to run them but now won't. YouTube works great.

    Ok, point given on the ad block plus, however all three systems have ad blockers installed.
    Ad Block Plus (Firefox Only)
    and Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 (Firefox & IE9)
    both however were disabled on the two computers that are affected, to resolve the issue, I'll re-examine differences between the working and non-working computers.
    The Kaspersky addon that blocks it hasn't worked/been updated to work with firefox 10/11
    The computer that isn't affected has ad block plus enabled. and kaspersky is again disabled due to incompatability
    All computers have 11.1.102.55+ installed

  • Certain video won't run.

    The videos that won't run are on the top portion of the msn.com home page. (See screen shot).
    The dotted circle continues to run and run and run....., but the video doesn't play.  The other videos on the page run well. I have tried to run them on Lion (10.7.3) and Snow Leopard (10.6.8), but they won't run on either. I have tried to run on both Firefox 11.0 and Safari 5.1.5. Nothing! I have the latest Flash Player, Silverlight, and Quicktime Player installed. These videos DO run on my Windows Vista laptop, so the problem lies somewhere on my Mac Pro. Could it have anything to do with the graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB)?
    Does anyone know where the problem lies, and of any fix?
    Thanks.

    I'm sorry. I hope I don't sound too clueless, but when you say "account," to what are you referring? Setting up a  new user account? I am running as the Admin. with root access, and the only user on this machine.
    I deleted the FlashPlayer .plist file, but when I then tried to view the videos, the problem was still there.
    Is there any way to identify a corrupted file? I've also repaired the the permissions on both drives, but that wasn't the answer either. Would a corrupted file be found and repaired if I ran disk utility Repair Disk? Is there an app. that can locate and repair a corrupted file?
    As you can see, I'm blindly flailing around just trying to locate the problem. I appreciate your brainstorming this with me.

  • Just updated to 8 & now I can't open any web pages & firefox is still running in the background after browser was closed. I uninstalled and reinstalled as well as disabled add-ons and plugins nothing has changed, can I downgrade back to on older version?

    Just updated to 8 & now I can not open any web pages as well as firefox will not close out, it still running in the background after browser was closed. I uninstalled and reinstalled as well as disabled add-ons and plugins nothing has changed, can I downgrade back to on older version?

    See "Firefox hangs when you quit it":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+hangs
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Pages application won't run; documents are inaccessible.

    I have been using Pages for 1.5 years. I'm using version 4.1 on Mac OS X (10.7.5). Pages won't run, and files not saved as .doc files won't open. When I select Pages from applications, or search for it in Spotlight and try to select it, there is a blip in the dock, as if the icon is going to appear, but it doesn't. When I try to access documents saved in Pages, I can find them, but nothing happens when I try to open them. No error messages of any sort pop up.
    I had just installed the Freedom App, and Microsoft Office for Mac, and after reboot I noticed the Pages problem. It doesn't seem like that should matter, but before this, Pages seemed to be working fine.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • 7.2 upgrade and video won't run

    I updated itunes tonight and now none of my video podcasts will run for more than 15 seconds. The audio is fine, but the video just stops. My TV shows do the same thing..... any suggestions??? Thanks,

    I have a theory because I am having the same problem. The download page states that video under 7.2 requires 1 GHz processor. (I didn't know this when I automatically updated through Software Update.) My processor is only 800 MHz. I don't know what the video requirements were for the previous version of iTunes but I know my video played fine then.

  • Can't get add ons, addons video won't run 'no video support format'

    I was trying to download a coupon printer add on, but it didn't download. Trouble shooting video wouldn't play because it said 'no video support format'.

    Note that an 'no video support format' error is usually caused by web pages that use the HTML5 media player to play a video and either no suitable format is available or the server isn't configured properly and doesn't send the file with a supported MIME type.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/Properly_Configuring_Server_MIME_Types

    You could try to see if you can open the video in a new tab via the right-click context menu (View Video).

  • Best "Publish Settings" for wmv web page video are ??

    What are the bset settings for publishing a WMV video for playback on a web page?
    I used the custom setup and...
    320 x 240
    15 frames per second
    Are these the right numberes for a good quality video on the net... without making the file to big?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Time for the proverbial spanner in the works.
    If you are in NTSC lands, and your source footage is HD at 24fps, you could always try encoding to the 24p MPEG-2-DVD setting.
    This will put the progressive scan footage on the DVD at 24p, without degrading it to interlaced - and on an upscaling player you will get output at 24p.
    If the disc is played on a non upscaling system, the player will automatically pull to 29.97, so you lose nothing and gain a lot.
    The Adobe Media Encoder does a fine job of the 24p for DVD encoding as well - just remember to render out as elementary streams (.m2v and .WAV) - do not use the Dolby Digital encoder at this point (unless you need the SurCode 5.1 of course) and use LPCM - let Encore handle this.

  • Web page locks up when running Java
