Can no longer play videos

Since updating to 10.5.5 my G5 will crash whenever trying to view videos in iTunes or .mpgs online. Is this a known problem?

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.

  • 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.

    After uprading to iOS 5.1 I can no longer play videos in my camera roll. I just get the following error "The  requested URL was not found on this server".
    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.

  • After update from iphoto to photos I can no longer play video by space button

    It was very convenient before to play videos in my iphoto library by simply pressing space. After last update space is only minimizing them. Any idea how to set it up as it was?

    What  happens when you try?

  • Can no longer play video from Canon PowerShot with QT Pro

    Don't know what's changed. I have played these videos many times before. They were taken by my son who is active duty Navy overseas, so they are important to me. The "Movie Info" from QT says the format is: 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz/MJPG, 320 x 240, Millions. QT "Movie Properties" list MVI_0025.mov, but the Audio Settings and Presentation choices are greyed out. The Video Trach is shown as MJPG as you would expect. I can't "save as" or "export" so re-encoding is out. I'm at a loss here. Why they played before and not now is beyond me. They were added to my Hard Drive via Iomega's Floppy plus 7-in-1 card reader. The actual video was taken with a Canon PowerShot A510 and recorded to a SanDisk 512MB SD Card which I copied to my hard drive through the card reader with no problems. My G4 runs great with no problems. These videos were added to two logins which both fail to play now. Sound is fine. Anyone have any ideas how this could have happened or what to do?

    QuickTimeKirk,
    Fortunately I can boot to OS9.2. The problem is that the OS goes so far back in time that I'm not sure I could figure out where to install a codec that would work. And I'm afraid the bigger problem is, where would I download the right codec? (In OS9 that would be a QuickTime plug-in, right?) I tried Classic, using QuickTime 5.0.2. No good. I get the standard message "Some necessary QuickTime software is missing. It may be available on the QuickTime Web site." I guess when I saw MJPG I was really thinking MJPEG and couldn't se why it wouldn't work. I see now that these are very different codecs. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I did some digging and I believe the codec needed came with QuickTime 2.5. Also, if it makes any difference, I neglected to say that I use Flip4Mac WMV. I don't see how that would adversely effect a video file with a MJPG format but I thought I should mention it. Thanks for responding!

  • I can no longer play video in iTunes.

    I have a bunch of movies that I have ripped and several downloaded from the iTunes store. All of a sudden, none of them will play. When I press the play button, I get a black screen and the slider is set to where it was the last time I watched, but nothing happens. iTunes does not crash, but will not play...no sound, no video, nothing at all. These are all videos and movies that I have watched before, they are in the correct format.
    I have upgraded to 11, but the same thing happened in 10. I have also tried re-installing quictime.

    The usual explanation for this is that:
    1. You have changed the iTunes preferences so that when importing a song the file is not copied into the iTunes media library - doing so is the default.
    2. You have subsequently moved the original file, which iTunes has been using to play your song, and so of course it's lost contact with it.
    If 1. is not the case, then the files in the iTunes Library (by default, in (user)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music) may have been moved, deleted or become corrupted. You should check in that library, but don't start moving files in there about. If this is the case you should delete the songs in the iTunes Music list, not in the Finder, and re-import.

  • Upgraded my iPad to IOS 7 and can no longer play videos and podcasts

    Can anyone offer any advice?

    The videos are standard tv shows and movies from iTunes.  In the older IOS when I opened the 'movie' icon all I saw were the videos that I had downloaded to my iPad.  Now I get routed to something that looks like the 'purchased' section of the iTunes storeand it seems that I have to load every video from the cloud.  I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, but I would like to be able to watch video when I am NOT connected to wifi, like on a plane and such.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    Quark XPress 8 has a few of those PPC only tools, too. Like they they forgot to update them or something.
    They were already at v9 when Lion came out and decided that official support would be for v9 only; see here.
    According to this, the only thing PPC in v9 and v8 are video encoding for SWF export -- looks like an XTension according to System Profiler. Given their position of not officially supporting v8.x in Lion, that will probably always remain broken in v8. I use v8.5.1 in Lion; works fine for me -- I don't do any SWF exporting.
    I have a few other things on my MBP, recently upgraded to Lion; I upgraded just about every app to the latest versions with exception of Quark. The only  other PPC things besied that XTension are some scripts from Adobe Illustrator CS5.1, which got installed with CS 5.5. I guess Adobe forgot to upgrade those. No biggie, I never use them.

  • 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!

  • IPod touch 4th gen no longer plays video on TV

    Can anyone tell me exactly why I can no longer play ANY (personal, purchased, downloaded) videos or pictures from my iPod 4th Generation to my TV with the same cables I've been using for several months to do just that?  I no longer have the "TV output" option in my "Video" menu either.  Is this due to a software "upgrade?"

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing will be lost:
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next restore from backup va iTunes
    - Then restore to factory defaults/new iPod.  For how to restore see:
