Can't play embedded videos. Shows large question mark where the video is.

Need some help. I'm not able to play any embedded videos and all I get is the big Q with a question mark over it. I've tried reinstalling and checked the permissions in the registry. The problem that I found is that in the QuickTime preferences, on the File Type menu, there is absolutely nothing in there, just a blank white space. Any suggestions?
Much appreciated.

Had the same problem; quicktime plugin would only work for administrative users not normal "limited" user. I temporarily promoted the user to administrator and the plugin worked fine. When I restored the user back to limited it still worked. I only had this problem on one computer so I don't really know the root cause. For reference, the computer was running Windows XP Pro, SP3, on a Windows Active Directory domain, using free Quicktime version 7.6.2.

How did you install GarageBand on your Mac? Did it come preinstalled with the other iLife applications?
If your MacOS supports the AppStore, you should be able to redownload GarageBand from the AppStore, see this support Article: OS X: About OS X Recovery on how to download again:
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.

Can't see embedded youtube videos, just a blank space where the video should be

As question says embedded youtube videos do not show outside of youtube. I'm using firefox 23.01, have cleared my cookies, seen if my flashplayer is up to date etc and still no luck.
I've put up with it for a few months now but its really starting to get annoying
any help would be appreciated cheers

Hi.
I know this sounds stupidly simple - but it worked for me.
Sometimes, when you copy and paste the embed link from a YouTube video, the actual link to the video DOES NOT START WIth.....
http:
If this is not there it will fail.
For example THIS WILL NOT WORK
<pre><nowiki><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/sCsjfE6Mabs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></nowiki></pre>
BUT THIS WILL
<pre><nowiki><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sCsjfE6Mabs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></nowiki></pre>
Took me ages to figure this out.
hope it helps.

Why do I have question marks in the finder window header?

Ever since I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Lion I've noticed a large question mark in the finder window header. There is a smaller one beneath it, and they're both located just to the left of the search window.

Can you do a screenshot please?
Also may just grag and drop them outside the finder window.

Question marks across the top of new finder windows

Hello,
When I open a new finder window everything looks and works fine but I'm seeing 3 large question marks in the top gray area of the new finder window.
When I click it I get a message that says "The Item Can't Be Found".
What is this all about?
Thanks

you can put a link to any item in the toolbar. just drag it there from finder. you can get rid of such a link by command+dragging it off the toolbar. that's all there is to it.

Question mark over the Mail icon

What can I do if there is a question mark over the mail icon in dock... I can't open the Mail now. Thanks!

you can reinstall Mail using the leopard install DVD. insert the DVD and open it in finder. among other things you should see a folder called "optional installs". Open it and double-click on Optional Installs.mpkg. Follow the instructions. at the appropriate page you'll have to check the box for "Mail" on the list of software you want to install.
This will install Mail 3.0. To update it to the latest version of mail reinstall

Can't play embedded videos in Safari

I'm using Version 6.0.2 and I can't play embedded videos. Youtube is fine but if someone includes a video in a blog post, for example, there's a big white blank space where the vid is supposed to be. It happens in both Safari and Firefox. I've paused AdBlock and can't think of what else might be causing the problem. I'm running Virus Barrier X6, if that's any help, although it hasn't been a problem in the past. Could it be an extension?

After some messing around, I found out that I can't press the red/white play button on the middle of the picture. For some reason, that isn't clickable anymore. Instead, if I press anywhere on the picture preview except for the red/white play button, then the video will play fine.
I Don't remember having to do that before, but at least I can watch embedded videos again.

Is QuickTime installed? If not it might help to install it.
If so is Direct3D Video Acceleration enabled? If so it might help to disable.

Can't play a TV Show purchase?

Recently purchased a complete season of a TV show. When I went to play the season, all that happened was a gray screen, and it acted like it was playing in the time bar, but nothing was going on where the video was actually supposed to be playing. What do I do/what can be done to fix this?

This morning, I purchased the first season of Damages. When I attempt to play an episode, I am prompted to authorize the computer. After authorization, I also get the grey screen and the time bar (as though the show is playing). I performed all of the troubleshooting steps as advised on the support pages but still...no show.

Randomly Apple TV can't play Movies/Tv shows and music.

I've seen other people having problems with this issue but with all my searching, have not found an answer and thought I'd share my experience in case someone has a solution or suggestion.
Our cable modem service comes into an access pannel in the bedroom closet. It goes to the Linksys WRT54G router, then to a hub which sends out to all the rooms in our house. Our house is new and pre-wired for ethernet in each room. It comes in the office, goes into another hub and then to the Mac Mini I have and to a NAS Lacie storage drive where all my movies, music and photos are at. We stream everything and only synk photos on the Apple TV.
Over the last couple of days, the Apple TV can't play movies or music for some reason. The errors I get with Movies/TV is "The selected video cannot be played." The format was not recognized. With music the message is "Apple TV cannot play the current song." I know all the movies and music work because a day before I just played I AM LEGEND and it worked perfectly.
I've got a couple of theories and wanted to float them by everyone. I use a Harmony 880 remote and when I select Apple TV, it turns on the ATV and then sets the inputs on the other items. When I'm done and select watch TV, it turns ATV off. Should the ATV stay on all the time? Could this be causing the problem?
I've restarted the ATV, the Mac Mini, the hubs, the cable modem, the router. Nothing brings it back. But if it sits for a while, a couple hours or so, then it's back. However, it just stops playing for no reason and the next day it might not work again.
I'm running iTunes 7.6.2 and I checked the ATV and iTunes and both say they are up to date on their software.
I could really use some help here. The frustrating part is the kids want to watch one of their movies for the 700th time and it won't play many time.
Thanks everyone.
John
I use a Harmony 880 (I believe) remote.

Oops----thinking of the light on the Airport!!! =-)
The status light is gray, so it is not setting off any "alarms", everything else is working, but when I go to watch a movie, rented or owned, it times out and resets itself. I ran a diagnostic and it said everything was working properly, I reset to factory settings and still had the same problem, and even reset the Airport to make sure it was not just the connection.
At a complete loss as to any other ideas to try to get her up and running again. No way am I going anywhere near an Apple Store with all the iPad hype that is out right now!!!!!!
