Can't get Videos to run on the Internet

Can't get Videos to run on the Internet. Clicked to watch a video and nothing happened. Sales person in Apple store said to get "Flip4Mac", free edition, which is what they used in store as the files on this site and in Windows Media. I downloaded it and I think I installed it. At least it said is was installed and updated. But when I went to my Son's favorite website, Nascar.com, when he clicked on a video to watch nothing happened. Anyone have any idea what's wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help.....Nancy

First off, I'll list all the items that I use to play, just about, all media on the web:
Flip4Mac
(as you might have found out, Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported)
VLC
Real Player
Perian
Adobe Flash
Streamclip
All that being said, there is still some unplayable A/V content on the web. Even though it's listed as WMV, they are really processed with a codec that is underneath that wrapper, and unsupported by any of the above listed apps and plug ins. If any content like this is found on a high profile site, and is in wmv format, then the Flip4Mac people request to be told, so they can see if compatibility can be written in on their next update.
Generally, video playback on a Mac can be somewhat complex. Would be nice if everyone used Quicktime, but I don't see that happening on the PC end of things anytime soon. So, we'll all just have to use what we can to view content.
RE: learning Leopard....there are some tutorials on the Apple support site, but I've always found the suppot discussions to be pretty helpful. I've never been one to get a lot from manuals. Mostly, I get my knowledge from working with the apps I need, and getting advise from others who have done whatever. Occasionally, there's a class at the college that you might look into. Anyway, feel free to ask any questions you want on this forum, or drop me an email. [email protected]

Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. Any suggestions?

Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. The light on the Express is flashing green though. Does it mean I have to re-set the settings on Airport Utility? I.e. the old settings haven't been cleared yet. Any suggestions?

Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:

The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
Extreme, Express, Time Capsule

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

After a router reset, can't get second PC to access the internet

I had my wireless router (WRT54G) and printserver working fine and then a problem with my DSL had me resetting both boxes (yeah I should have know better). I've fought back and have everthing working for one PC that has an internal wireless but my other PC has a WPC54G wireless card and I can't get it to work. Both PCs are XP, SP2. The Linksys appl says that it contacted the access point but can't access the internet. It has always been flaky about this but usually gets to the internet. It does have a good IP address, the WEP key and channel are right but 'no joy'. I can ping the router and the printserver but I can't bring up the router's home page but I can print to the printserv. I did not change the modem to 'bridge' yet.
TIA....jack

What is the IP Address you are getting on the computer...?It should be in the range of your router.IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security software on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then type ping 4.2.2.2 and press Enter, if you get request timed out, then you need to upgrade your router's firmware...If you get 4 replies then type ping yahoo.com and press Enter...If you get replies for Yahoo then you should get the Internet after adjusting the browser settings...
Adjusting Browser Settings : Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
If yahoo times out then provide static DNS on your WAN Connection...
Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Wireless Network Connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the Following DNS Settings' Preferred DNS 4.2.2.2 Alternate DNS - 4.2.2.3>>Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...You should be able to go online...

Went from wrt 310n to 610n now i can't get it to connect to the internet.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had this problem. I changed my router from an old linksys wireless G speedboost to the wrt 310n. The setup disc was wonderful and I had no problems at all. What surprised me was that the setup disc knew I had a router and guided about changing the router.. Everything went well and I had no problems for a day. Then I saw the dual band 610n wireless n. So I took out the wrt 310n and exchanged it for the 610n. During the setup disc which looked almost similar to the 310n one, I encountered a slight problem. It states that I don't have an internet connection. I rebooted everything and still does not work. I'm connected to the network but no internet connection. My computer gets an IP address of 192.168.1.100. I checked my username and password because I'm using a PPPOE DSL connection. I hooked up my modem directly to the computer and I got an internet connectoin. So I did the setup disc. When it was time to switch to the router, it still does not pick up an internet connection. Any tips in solving this? Is my stuff defective?

Thanks for responding. I tried that method and it didn't work for me. Also, I need the MTU to be above 1400 for online play. However, I found this on amazon review about the WRT610N. http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B001AZ01EO?showViewpoints=1 Seems like everyone is either enjoying this router or having problems with it.
This guy says the solution is to change the router's address to 192.168.2.1. Ok I'm confused, but why does changing the router's address seem to work for some people. I'm gonna try this when I get home from work later. But can anyone tell me why changing the router's address may be the answer to get this router to connect to the internet? Has this solution worked for anyone else that was having the same problem. Also, why isn't this implemented in wrt610n, but all the router versions before it seems to be fine? (WRT310N, WRTGS, etc.) You would think the wrt610n is almost like the top of the line router you can get for your home that they would have implemented this in the setup disc or the router. For it being Dual band maybe? Who knows, this is a mystery to me.

I also found this answer in the linksys docs as well under step #2. Almost makes the setup disc useless to me.

Not too sure why that would work. I'm kinda embarassed to ask this since I graduated in networks and security of a Comp Sci degree. . Hope my teacher isn't reading this.

How can i get my iPad back on the internet?

Everything wad down today...cable, internet, etc. Now it is back. My iMac is right back on line and all is well. The iPad, though, says I am not connected to the internet and nothing is working.

Can't get videos to sync with the ipod!

I have a music video that i want to sync with my ipod, and i can already view the MV in itunes, it is already in my library, but when i try to copy manually the video into the ipod, it does not sync the video! only the song....
I have also tried setting my preferences to updating all videos automatically.
I have also read ALL the tutorial and help/FAQ in the website..
Grr....tell me what's wrong? Do i need to exchange my ipod?

It is probably in the wrong format. There is only a narrow ranges of video formats, bitrates and frame sizes that work in the iPod. Here's the details from the Apple site:
"Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats"

I can only get video when running apps such as directv, amazon, and HBOGo. Now I know some are limited content but directv isn't, anyway to troubleshoot?

Like stated in the question. I know about limited content on some apps however directv all supports AirPlay yet I only get audio.

If you only get audio then it isn't supported. Whoever develops the app is responsible for enabling airplay and you would need to contact them

Can't get iPod to connect to the internet

Ipod shows wifi connections, but with not bring up internet.

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Need to connect a web cam and external mike to my McBook Pro running snow leopard for a Skype session with another school. Attached an HP webcam (USB) and can't get video. Any suggestions?

-->Click HERE<-- Does item "B" (Turn video on/off) in the last topic on the page help?
You control the camera for Skype from within Skype, so Skype must be running to running to make video work.

Cisco 831 and "Can't get video from the camera."

I'm running a Cisco 831 router with ios 12.4(5a) installed. Every time I try to initiate a video chat with a computer going through the router, I get the "Can't get video..." error. It works fine with computers on my internal network and if I bypass the Cisco router and plug straight into my Cable modem.
I've covered every conceivable TCP/UDP port being open (per numerous pages re: port 5060, 5190, etc.) and have even gone as far as testing with "permit UDP any any" and "permit TCP any any" at the top of the rules. No luck.
I've been reading about the possibly needing to "unbind" SIP (port 5060). Is this something that a Cisco 831 router would require? The router doesn't seem to respond to any of the documented Cisco command re: VoIP and does not have any phone support that I'm aware of.
If anyone has any info that can help me get his up-and-running, I'd be much obliged.
Thanks,
Matheau

Hi Kcritchie,
It will most likely look like that. But in this case it should be on the UDP protocol.
The link looks useful (it takes a scroll down to see it for others looking)

Is there a way to get a version of the Garage Band app that runs on version 5.1.1? I have an iPad 1 and can't get any higher iOS. The App store is telling me that Garage Band only runs on iOS 7.

Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media. You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else. As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC. Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.
