Could you please take a breath and cool down?!
You are posting to a user to user forum and we'd be more than happy to see if we can help you with this but it would be beneficial if you could try and tone it down a bit. Also writing all caps is considered shouting and rude, try and not do that..
YouTube works fine for me here, so do most other that do not rely on Flash (which is not supported on any modern day platform and is actaully a discontinued format no longer being developed actually).
I'm not really having any of these issues here. Let be sure here, you are saying this does not work at all for you on either mobile data or WiFi? what is the OS version on the phone and what is the phone product number? Get Lumia Software Recovery Tool (google it) and check.. Maybe try and refurbish the phone through that tool and re-install.
What you describe certainly is not a generic OS issue so the problem must be with something else. Please provide _exact_ URL links to videos you can't view so we can at least check the specific videos..

I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook

I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook.
When using Sarfari or Google Chome, I am unable to play some videos on the internet. News clips, posted videos on blogs, and tv episodes from their own network websites. Youtube videos are fine. I doesn't make sense.
I tried downloading an update for quicktime, but the computer claims that quicktime is up to date. Yet, the videos and tv episodes don't play.
I have checked for the most recent software updates, and everything is up to date. Nothing is wrong with the hardware either.
Any suggestions would be awesome! Thank you!

In addition to Flash, you might need some other plugins. Microsoft videos are mostly in Silverlight, and you'll want Flip4Mac to play WMVs. Perian contains codecs for pretty much every video online.

HT4437 Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

Thank you for that, I wanted to make sure I was trying to replicate the same thing as you. Just tried it now, works fine for me.
Of note though, this will take a relatively well performing network to achieve this, I have such a network, if your network is not as good as it might be, you might encounter problems.
For the avoidance of doubt, I used the remote app on my phone to get my iTunes library on my computer to stream music to 3 of my Apple TVs, I then used the remote app to control another Apple TV and get it to stream a music video from my computer to it. Of interest I managed to do this while my wife was using yet another Apple TV (not with the remote app) to watch something else from iTunes on my computer.

Dear All, I can't play flash videos from any web site through firefox because it freezes but when i run firefox as administrator then it works fine (But Google Chrome Plays all videos normally.) . I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help

Dear All,
Firefox hangs when i try to play flash videos from any site but when i run firefox as administrator it works fine. (but Google Chrome, Opera & I.E9 Plays videos without running as administrator.) I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

How can I import a video from a website

I'm trying to create a slideshow with pictures and music but I would also like to show a video from this website www.212movie.com I want to show this video at the beginning of my slideshow. Any help would be appreciated.

what you call a video, is a .swf 'animation', shockwave flash. downloading that .swf creates only the 'loader' of the following 'video'.-
I guess, the owner of that website has good reasons to probit any downloads ...
for sure, using any screengrabber tools as Screenflow, Jing, SnapZ or QuicktimeX-built-in screenrecording feature etc. would 'allow' it.. but those captures usually are way-off any standard, a video should have, esp. resolution (=quality drops)
ahh, and Welcome, melindanoland, to the  iMovie boards ..

Can I play a video from my iPhone to a projector?

Is it possible to play a video from my iPhone to a projector without an Internet connection? I have an Apple TV and an Airport Express. Thanks

If the video is on the device it does not require an Internet connection.

Why i can't see video but i can hear an audio when i'm playing a video from a website?

THank you

There's a very good chance that the video is playing in a format the iPad can't play. Such as flash video. If you can find out the format of the video that can help you in finding a browser to play it. Or see if that site you're trying to access has a mobile version of their site which should be more compatible with the iPad.

E72: Can't play 3gp videos from Gallery, Realplaye...

I have this E72-1, version 021.024.246.01 which was doing ok. But one day I installed Coreplayer, ran it a few times, and then uninstalled it and problem began. Now I can't play 3gp vidoes that are in my Gallery. It says "System : general error". I can play mp4 shot with the phone video camera though. However, I can play the 3gps with real player. Is there a cure to this disease or do I have to hard-reset it? Please help.

Hi,
Restore the factory settings from the handset (Menu > Control Panel > Settings > General > Factory Settings). If it doesn't work, format the handset using the code *#7370#. It will prompt for the security code, 12345 is the default code.

Can I play YouTube Video from Safari to Apple TV?

Hi, I can play YouTube to my Apple TV from iPhone and iPad, but not Safari on my Mac? What Gives?

If your machine is 2011 or later, running 10.8 or later, and is connected to the same network as your Apple TV, you can use the Airplay feature to mirror the machine's display:
Note that Apple TV also has a built in youtube application found on it's main menu.

Quicktime Pro 7.2 Can't Play Lynda Videos Chris Orvig

Hi,
I can't play Lynda videos from "Photoshop CS3 for Photographers" with
Chris Orvig.
They all have the .mov extension. Quicktime Pro gives an error msg,
"error -2048 Couldn't open the file <XXXXXFILENAMEXXXXX> because it is
not a file that Quicktime understands".
I tried Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic from K-Lite, but
neither can play it either.
All my other videos are playing ok. After the error I installed every
codec from K-Lite Codec Pack Full.
It's still not working.
How do I fix this, where do I find a patch?
I've sent an email to Lynda technical support.
Windows XP Pro SP2
Quicktime Pro 7.2
K-lite Codec Pack Full - All Codecs Installed
Windows Media Player 9

I can also verify this (QT Pro 7.2 exporting to .mp4 not compatible
with video iPod [firmware 1.2.1 on both 5G/5.5G units]).
This results in the unusual situation where custom H.264 output
is operable on the iPhone but not the iPod.
Example: your iPhone should play
http://homepage.mac.com/retiarius/sample.elements.mp4
but it won't transfer to a video iPod.
Yes, the workaround is to 'export for iPod' or do the conversion
within 'iTunes', but this in many circumstances will generate
larger files.
The closest description of this situation is:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2006-September/015930.html
Perhaps Apple will release a video iPod firmware update soon
to get the 'uuid' atoms and whatever watermarking they are
using these days straightened out.
I'm surprised this hasn't been noticed more by video podcasters
who dutifully use Apple's own QT Pro encoding tool to optimize
filesizes via the tunable H.264/.mp4 codec settings.

Can't play any music or videos after 7.4.3.1 upgrade

Any body seen this type of problem after the update??
After upgrading to iTunes 7.4.3.1 I can't play any music on my PC. iTunes allows me to select the tune piece from the library, loads the player and just sits there not advancing the song.
If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens. I also can't play any of the video files I have on dick either. They play a few seconds worth, pause, then play a pit more and it repeats.
Thanks
Jay

+If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens.+
If two of your media players are doing that, we'd better have a look in your control panels.
Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. Click the "Audio" tab.
Is the correct default device showing up in the "Sound Playback" area?
