When trying to watch videos on YouTube and other sites the video screen is completely green.

When trying to watch videos on various websites including YouTube, the video screen is completely green. I can hear the audio, but no visual. This does not happen with every video, but it is fairly common for me. When I try to watch the same videos with Internet Explorer they work fine. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

When watching videos on YouTube and other sites, the sound plays for a few seconds and then stops.

I've ensured that the sound is working by pressing the volume up/down buttons and by looking in System Preferences to check it's switched to Internal Speakers, and sound plays through iTunes, so I think it could be something to do with Safari. When I Quit Safari and reopen it the sound tends to work, but then goes off again.
Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome.
Thank you in advance.

3. Install Adobe Flash Player.

Urgent - Experiencing Video Stoppage on YouTube and Other Sites

I am experiencing an irritating problem of "Stoppage" when viewing videos on YouTube and other websites such as Spike TV. My OS is Windows 7 (32 bit), Browser is Google Chrome, Flash Player is Version 11.8.800.97. I have done all the instructed troubleshooting tips such as 1) deleting Flash Player browsing data 2) deleting Flash Player cache and 3) disabling hardware cache. Nonetheless, this "Stoppage" problem persists? Can someone offer me a foolproof solution to this problem asap?

Perhaps your Internet connection is too slow?

How do you isolate an album or artist in the new iTunes? (12.0) It is really frustrating when trying to listen to one album and I get the album in the list with all 1,025 other albums in my library.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
... I assumed that if I played the 1st track, it would continue to play the rest of the album (as iTunes does on my Macs and PCs),...
You assumed correctly, and it should continue to play the rest of the album in order. Does this happen to all your albums. Have you tried restarting the tv.

Upgraded to 13.0.1 and now cannot see videos in youtube and others. I can see them in other browsers. the Flash plugin is OK

Cannot see videos in youtube and other graphics. I can see them in other browsers. the Flash plugin is ativated... all of this since I upograded to 13!
thanks

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
[[Flash 11.3 crashes]]

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

After installing Flash Player, I lost sound on Youtube and other sites. How do I fix it?

After installing Flash Player, I lost sound on Youtube and other sites. How do I fix it? I still have sound on some apps.

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
HTML5   video
Non-HTML5 video

When i'm watching a show or movie on iTunes, the video will randomly freeze and the audio will continue, the video catches up after awhile, but it does it again. This happens to all my shows, and I downloaded them from iTunes. Why is this happening?

Whenever I try to watch movies on iTunes on my computer, the video will randomly freeze, but the audio will continue. This happens will all of my shows, however this never happens on my iPod or iPad. Whenever I want to watch a new movie I buy or any of my shows this problem keeps happening. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it did not work. Why does this problem keep happening, and how can I fix it? Thank you.

John0618. Did you ever get a response or solution to problem? I have the same problem (starting about three months ago).

Why is the audio of MSNBC, YouTube and other site videos very low when using Firefox?

For several weeks now, when I view videos from msnbc.msn.com, youtube.com and other videos from other sites, the audio is so low....I can hardly hear it. But when I view the same videos using Google Chrome, the audio is very good.

Did you check the volume setting in the Flash player?
Do those Flash players have a volume button that opens a slider?

Getting an error when trying to go to windows explorer and other programs.

I am having trouble when trying to go to several programs like for instance the Windows explorer, recycle bin, etc. and getting this error: And there is only one program running!!
"There is not free enough memory to run this program. Exit one or more programs,and then try again."
minus the quotes of course!
I called Microsoft and they wanted $100.00 up front and $50-75.00 there after per hour to try and resolve this!
I called TrendMicro, thinking it might be a virus and it was not. They spent 3 hours with me on the phone trying to help me solve this, but they came up with nothing. And they DID NOT charge me anything for all this time and help over the phone. That is one hell of a company that can do that, while a money hunger company called Microsoft would!
If anyone know how or what I need to do to solve this, it is greatly appreciative on my end.
Sincerely,
Bart

Hello Jerry,
Thanks for answering this and trying to help me with this. I have been dealing with this problem for over 2 weeks and my bald head is getting thinner by the minute!!
The computer is a refurbished one from Toshiba after the main one, kept crashing and they decided to give me a refurbished, step down model. Been having trouble with this also and I fixed the problems it had myself up until this one. I am about a total wreck because of this, but here is the information you wanted!
It is a QOSMIO
X505-Q890
I am also ticked, because Toshiba has put my working drive to D and the backup files on Drive C. This does not make any sense and why they did it, I do not know!
Thanks again and I hope this is what you need, if not please let me know.
Sincerely,
Bart

Upgraded to Yosemite, Now Safari Won't Load Youtube and Other Sites

I upgraded to Yosemite the day of. Almost immediately I found that Safari no longer would load Youtube. At all. It would just sit and spin and work and eventually say that the page wasn't available. This was also a problem with other websites. For instance, IGN would load, but it was very, very slow. Redirected webpages from Youtube that used URL shorteners would do the same thing as Youtube, it would just sit and crank away and finally give up.
When I try the same thing with Google Chrome, it loads those pages just fine. Youtube and these sites also work on my Macbook and my iPad, so I believe the problem is specific to my iMac.
So... I got really angry a few days ago and did a complete reformat of my computer. I didn't restore my old image from Time Machine, but I did a brand new install and just backed up some precious files. I re-installed Yosemite on my freshly cleaned hard drive and low and behold, Youtube worked, as did all the others!
But after about four days, the same problem is happening again. Youtube won't load, redirects from Facebook using URL shortening is a disaster again. I'm losing my mind. What could be causing this problem!?? Reformatting was the only idea I had, and I thought it was a very thorough solution. Is Safari doing this for anybody else?
My system:
iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011)
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
Running Yosemite Version 10.10

Mozilla fox won't play videos on YouTube and other websites. Why is this?

I went onto YouTube and tried to watch videos but a message popped up where the video would be and said to check back later. I went on google chrome and it played immediately so I know it wasn't something wrong with YouTube. I have the latest version of adobe flash player so what else could be wrong?

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

Use VLC for YouTube and other Flash Player videos. Flash has become very slow and VLC Web Player works perfectly for other video websites.

I'd like to use VLC Web Player for viewing YouTube videos rather than use Adobe Flash. Adobe Flash is very slow on my other computers and when websites use my VLC Web Player, I have no issues whatsoever. I'm curious if this can be done with Firefox, as I researched it only to find an add-on for Google Chrome only.

You may be able to disable Flash entirely and just use HTML 5 video codecs to view the videos this is faster but you may lose access to some videos such as ones that have mandatory advertisements.

When trying to launch iTunes it freezes and I get the message: "Authentication Required. To access this site you need to log in to area "100656 on mellor.co. Your password will be sent in the clear." I am unable to enter a uname or password. Please help!!

When trying to launch iTunes on my PC running Windows 7 it freezes and I get the message: "Authentication Required. To access this site you need to log in to area "100656 on mellor.co. Your password will be sent in the clear." Because iTunes is frizen at this point I am unable to enter a username or password, or in fact do anything. Please help!! I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes numerous times as well as attempting all of the fixes that I could find on-line and still no joy.

That sounds extremely phishy to me... iTunes does not require authentication simply to launch it. I suspect you've got something nasty intercepting network traffic. That server may be set up to log the Apple ID that you enter so it can be used fraudulently. Try ComboFix from Bleeping Computer.
FWIW the domain mellor.co is registered to an accountants in Knutsford, Cheshire, UK, and produces the same authentication request if visited with a browser. There is no sign of a "real" publicly visible website at that domain which is a somewhat odd.
