When I try to play a flash video (like youtube) i have to click a flash button several times before it works. Why do flash videos not recogonize any clicks without several tries first?

When I try to go to a flash video, the video player never seems to recognize my mouse clicks without several tries.
It's hard to explain but if I'm at a youtube video and i place my cursor over the button that lets you skip around the video, the cursor will alternate being a cursor (like its not recognized) and a hand like its supposed to. It's sort of keeps flickering between the two if I move the mouse around on that little skip button.
I tried uninstalling firefox but it didn't make a difference. I noticed it after updating to the newer firefoxe updates. This does not happen under IE.
thank you for your help.

  • Itunes stops working and I get an error message "APPCRASH" when I try to play a downloaded TV show. I have udated Itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    When I try to play a downloaded TV show, itunes stops working and I get a error message "APPCRASH". I have updated itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
    ... and click OK.
    Quit the QuickTime Player if you have it open. Restart the PC and try watching the videos in iTunes again. Do they play now?

  • HT201412 My iphone's home button is not responding when I press it.  I sometimes have to press it several times before it works or it just doesn't work at all.  Any advise?

    My iphone's home button doesn't always work.  I sometimes have to press it several times to get to my home screen.  Many times this doesn't work and I just give up.  It is happening more frequently now, almost daily and usually lasts all day when it's having a bad day.  I've tried calibrating it and I've also tried a phone reset; neither helped.  Any suggestions?

    Re-Calibrate it. Press the power button until the slide to turn off shows. DO NOT TURN IT OFF. Leave it on the slide to unlock screen and press the home button for about 30 seconds until the slide to turn off screen leaves.

  • HT1420 I bought "Blue Ocean Strategy" in audiobook format. I have authorized 2 computers and when I try to play it. It says that I have authorized 5 computers already. I deauthorized all of then and authorized 2 again and still get the same problem.

    Am I renting the music and audio books or am I buying from Itunes?

    For some stupid reason, you need to deauthorize your old computers, everytime this question comes up!!! Had the same problem.

  • My apple tv works great except when I try to play a dvd on my macbook. have sound but no video.

    My apple tv and airplay works great except when I try to play a dvd on my macbook. Have sound but no video.

    You won't be able to view them via Apple TV, correct. It is not meant for this function, if that's your intended purpose its best to get a DVD player

  • When I try to play a movie on my ipod, it reboots! Help!

    So I put a movie on my iPod 4th Generation Nano (mp4 format) from iTunes, and it's on my iPod, but when I try to play it, the Apple logo appears and the iPod reboots. This happens every time. I have plenty of memory left over, so I'm not out of it. The movie is about 1 hour and 47 minutes long. Any solutions?
    Thanks,

    Nothing happens still =/ thanks for trying though - I'll keep looking

  • I just update my flash player but it is showing "blocked plugin" now when I try to play a video

    I just update my flash player but it is showing "blocked plugin" now when I try to play a video

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    3. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    4. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Firefox will no longer play videos and keeps telling me to download the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer which I have done 5 times but still get the same message when I try to play videos. I can play videos on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome .

    Recently when I try to play a video on Firefox I get the same message that I need to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. At least 5 times I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X and Adobe Flash Player Plugin 64 bit. Problem is that even though I have the latest version I still get the same message when I try to watch videos on Firefox. The frustrating thing is I can watch videos on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome as well as on Safari. How does that make sense?
    Today, I upgraded to Firefox 10.0.2 (x86eng-us) hoping that would enable me to watch video on Firefox but it made no difference either. I would rather use Firefox as my default browser but if I can't get help so I can view video on it I will be forced to use another browser.

    Hi arpriltime,
    Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I have downloaded I Tunes 10.7 and now the program shuts down when I try to play music videos?

    I have downloaded I Tunes 10.7 to my computer and now the program closes when I try to play music videos. Is there a fix out there I can try?

    from what I read on the discussion boards there seems to be little or nothing to do that may not mess up the computer (Like jerky videos if Quicktime fix is tried) except wait for Apple to do a proper fix with updates at this point. I am not willing to try the fixes explained so far. The reviews of them are spotty on them working if at all. My I Tunes works on everything but the videos and that is better than nothing which did happen at first. So I will keep watching for any other fixes that might be promising or an Apple Update.

    Thanks for the reply with additional details.
    In order to help you with the Elements Organizer 13 and Premiere Elements 13 issues, we need details of that video from iMovie.
    You should be able to get the important details of the iMovie video by telling us the export settings that you used for the iMovie export.
    Minimum information..
    Video Compression
    Audio Compression
    File Extension
    Frame Size
    First, update Premiere Elements 13 and Elements Organizer 13 each to the 13.1 Update (See Help Menu/Update in an opened
    Premiere Elements 13 project.)
    We will be watching for further details in order to plan and carry out troubleshooting strategy.
    Thank you.

  • I get the message "adobe flash plug in has crashed" when I try to play a sample file from audible.co.uk

    I am running windows vista for business (32 bit), using firefox, when I try to play a sample from audible.co.uk the browser hangs and then I get the message, "adobe flash plug in has crashed". I have tried uninstalling the flash player and reinstalling to no avail. It also crashes using Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

    If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    Try uninstalling the currently installled Flash plugin (required for most YouTube content) then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now from the menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches

  • WiFi connection drops when I try to play video

    This has been happening for months now. When I try to play video my WiFi connection gets dropped & it takes about 3 mins to pick up again. No problems on other web, YouTube is the main problem, but only because it's the site for so many vids. I've had other video sites drop the wiFi link too.
    Anyone know how to fix this? And are Apple doing anything to fix this video handling problem (except for dropping the YouTube app from the last iOS release)?
    Thanks

    Hmm. Apple will charge me $20 for a one off call, so I'm not fussed on doing that first up. I thought for sure other people would've had the same problem as me so thought it worth asking here. There are no Apple stores where I am. Not even sure if there's one in the country. There might be one up north but that's the other end of NZ to me.
    And it's not a service provider issue, there's nothing wrong with my internet connection at all. It's just video on the iPod.
    Maybe this doesn't make as much sense as I think it does .
    Honestly it is the stupidest thing that everything just falls over whenever I try to play video. I was thinking of getting an iPad (or a mini) but that's definitely on hold until I can sort out these issues. No point in an iPad if it might cough up the same problem.
    I'll keep searching online & see whether anyone else has had this issue. If there's really no-one then I might have to cough up the dough. Shame as otherwise it's a brilliant wee device & I'm permanently connected to it.
