Can no longer play my videos (.avi) from my Pentax Camera.

Please HELP.
I have been using my Pentax Digital point and shoot camera since 2008. I had no problems watching my videos (.avi) on I photo. They would upload and play as normal. Then all of a sudden about one year ago. They no longer play. The videos on my iphoto uploaded since them don't play, as well as the older ones. Now they dont even upload.
I have contacted pentax for support and they have no idea how it interfaces with iphoto. They suggestes VLO media browser. But id rather not have two diffrent applications for my media.
What should I try?
Does Iphoto no longer recognize .avi??

Did this start after you upgraded to Snow Leopard? Do you have Quicktime Player 7 installed on your Mac? It would be in the Applications/Utilities folder if you do. If not then download it from here: QuickTime Player 7.6.6 for Mac OS X v10.6.3.

I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.

Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component. It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.

I can no longer play HD videos on any website.

I'm going to start off by saying, I'm almost certain it's not my internet. Latency in games and my browsing experience is exactly the same, the only thing that has changed is my video.
This has been a problem for a month or two, I used to be able to watch HD videos and streams with no trouble, but out of NOWHERE I tried to watch a video in 1080p and it was laggy.
It would load fine but the video itself would look really jerky, as if it was only loading a few frames per second. When I would pause the video the pictures would still play until the video caught up with the time it was at.
I've tried a handful of things such as; disk defrag, restoring computer to factory settings, downgrading to an older version of flash player, different browsers, deleting all of my history, uninstalling Shockwave Player and reinstalling it, watching 1080p videos on another computer in the house using the same internet (and it worked fine).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is it connected with a cable or wifi through Apple TV?

I can no longer play embedded videos on the BBC and Sky websites, how can I get them to play?.

I am using FF 7.0.1 on Windows 7 sp1 and the Flash version is 11.0.1.152. I have checked Firewall settings and they are ok.
Thanks for any help.

Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.
Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache
or
Tools->Options->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]
Youtube may have made some changes recently. Clear the Youtube cookie and refresh page if above does not do it.

I recently loaded Snow Leopard. I have iPhoto 08. I can no longer play the video clips in iPhoto.

I recently loaded Snow Leopard on my iMac. I have iPhoto 08. I am now unable to run the video clips in iPhoto.

Upgrade iPhoto.

Installed Flash 10.2 and can no longer play Flip vidoes on Flipshare

Hi, I'm looking for some help please as have got very frustrated and wasted far too much time on this! Thanks!
I yesterday installed Flash 10.2 (specifically 10.2.159.1) and now can no longer play Flip videos on Flipshare. I had no problem with this on my previous Flash version (10.1 something I think), and also I don't seem to have issues with videos on other sites eg YouTube, BBC etc.
I am no expert but have tried everything I can think of. Have uninstalled and reinstalled (several times), have tried in Firefox (same problem), upgraded to IE9 from 8 (same problem), did a full Windows update for Windows 7 (same problem), added the site flipshare.com to my safe list (same problem), checked the Add On in Tools (it is apparently installed and Enabled). I am now out of ideas and would very much appreciate some help!
What makes this doubly frustrating is that I only installed 10.2 in the first place because I was trying to help my mum to install it over the phone so SHE could view Flip videos of our small baby (her first grandchild). She is on Vista and probably had a v old version of Flash which I thought was causing her problem (she could view them OK up to about a week or so ago), but now neither of us can play them!
Any help or ideas very much apprecited!
Thanks!!!

Many thanks indeed for trying to help!
Yes that is the right site, it's a site where you view videos shared by people with a certain type of video camera (a Flip).
Yes I can see the Flash animation on the login page fine, how odd ...
And yes when I right click a video that has been shared with me I can see settings and global settings (and in fact went in there to disable hardware acceleration, but when I did it made no difference). In fact I can see the first frame of the video and it also shows the video's correct length in minutes, but when you press play the screen goes blank and nothing happens. As I think I mentioned, before I installed 10.2 I could play the same videos from this site with no problem ...
Thanks very much again for replying, hope you can help further!

IPhoto '11 no longer plays any video

Hello, I"ve searched the forum and not yet found a solution to this problem. I recently upgraded to OS X Lion and iLife '11. I am running iPhoto 9.2.1. on my Macbook Pro and iMac and can no longer play any videos in iPhoto. iMovie seems to be plagued byt the same issue. I remember having to delete a couple files from the Library when I upgraded iPhoto. The files were 3ivx files.
Can anyone please help me or point me to the solution elsewhere in this forum.
Many thanks,
Tim

First try installing Perian and see if that fixes it. If not then look in your Home/Library/Quicktime folder to see if there's a 3ivx plugin there. If there is remove it. It's not compatible with Lion and usually crashes iPhoto. With that in mind I doubt you'll find the plugin.

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

I can no longer play videos on my Mac mini.

I got a new magic mouse for Christmas. I connected it to my Mac mini Lion. It works great but I can no
longer play videos like from YouTube. I just see a black screen. Even the start triangle does not show up.
This is date coincident with installing the new mouse.
Does anybody have a clue what is going on here?
Thanks in advance.

The Magic Mouse and YouTube videos don't have anything to do with each other. I switch between my Magic Mouse and my track pad all day, and it has no effect on YouTube.
YouTube playback is browser and Flash Player related.
Check your Safari Security preferences to be sure that Plugins are allowed.
Worst case, do a "clean Install" of Flash Player. Instructions (with illustrations) are here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084

Anyone have any ideas?

You have two choices to try & fix this: 1. Backup your phone, then restore as a new device, then restore from the backup you first created, or 2. Follow the advise from this poster:
I had the same problem with the black blocks after upgrading to iOS4 on my iPhone. The reason for the black blocks is that the thumbnail images for those particular images have not been created when the Photo Library has been updated to iOS4. I followed the advice on a couple of blogs and fixed the problem.
1. I downloaded iPhone Explorer free software (http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/) so I could view the photo data folders on my phone. I could see that the thumbnail images were missing.
2. I followed a slight variation on the instructions on this blog. (http://blog.mbentley.net/2010/06/iphone-ios-4-upgrade-restore-lost-pictures-in-c amera-roll/)
3. First I copied the Photo Data folder by dragging it from the iPhone Explorer window to my Mac desktop.
4. Through iPhone Explorer I deleted the info.plist file in the Media/PhotoData/MISC folder.
5. I also deleted the Photos.sqlite and PhotosAux.sqlite files in Media/PhotoData.
6. I then rebooted the phone and launched the Photo Library.
7. The Library rebuilt it's self again and recreated the thumbnails.
8. The problem was fixed!!! Thank you M Bentley!
I hope this helps - this has been bugging me for 2 weeks.

Why can't I play a video from FB on my IPad?

When I try to play a video clip from Facebook, it goes to pause after only a few seconds. Why?

Are you using the Facebook App or Facebook via Safari?

My iPod Touch can no longer download Podcast Videos after upgrading to iOS4

After upgrading OS 3.1.3 to iOS4, My iPod Touch (2nd Generation) can no longer download such video podcasts as NBC News, CBS News, ABC News and Cranky Geeks from iTunes store. The moment the download starts, there is always an annoying prompt "this video cannot be played on this iPod".
It's really frustrating!!!

Same thing happening to mine also, still cant find a reason.

Can no longer play certain voice memos

I have two voice memos that will no longer play. One is from dec '09 and the other is from nov '09. They both have the duration of the memos, but when I press the play button, it does nothing but stop. I tried to sync all of my memos on itunes, but it won't sync the two memos that won't play. I tried to email the memos, but it won't let me do that either. It's as if they aren't even there, but they are. How do I play my voice memos that won't let me play them?

Can you record and play new VMs?
Can you sync them to your computer?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from a back that was made then the VM played back. See:
iOS: How to back up

Can no longer play iTunes-purchased TV shows in QuickTime Pro 7

Had to reformat hard drive due to nasty virus/spyware I couldn't locate and delete (AVG, AOL spyware protector, SpyBot Resident, Kerio Firewall, Windows Firewall all failed to stop it from entering and those plus AdAware all could not get rid of it). Upon redownloading and installing software (iTunes with QuickTime) I can no longer play the TV shows I purchased at iTunes. Is it because I had to copy them to another drive/disk . . . and then copy them back to my hard drive? I've scanned the files with AVG, SpyBot, and AdAware and came up clean. I've changed the file association from iTunes to QuickTime and from m4v to mpg or something . . . and back again.
With every change and attempt I get a pink hazy video, but when I fiddle with QuickTime preferences and save the defaults that it keeps automatically resetting itself to, I can see clear video . . . until I reopen the file.
Help! I am tearing my hair out. I am not tech savvy and cannot find a solution on the discussion boards or elsewhere.
Thanx bunches.
Windows XP

Nevermind, I changed the metadata of the video file to "music video" instead of "TV show" and I am now able to add it to a playlist X amount of times under the video app.
