Can't play video on cnn after downloading WMP

I downloaded the WMP 9 and flip4mac because I want to watch CNN pipeline tomorrow-there will be free video all day replaying the coverage from 9/11, but when I try to watch a video on CNN.com it says they can't detect the player???
iMac 2GHz Intel Core Duo, iPod Shuffle, iPod Video 30GB   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

I'm hearing alot of Windows users with this glitch. ( If it indeed is a glitch.) My recomendation would be to get a Mac. Everything works better on a Mac, including your new iPod. Trust me on this one.
If youre not ready for that, give AppleCrae a call. They are really good at trouble shooting issues with customers. I'm sure they could help you out AND they could sell you that new iMac G5 or iMac Intel Duo. (wink, wink, nudge nudge;)

  • Can't play videos on iPhoto after installing Yosemite, also getting JRE error. Are they related?

    When I start Mac, I get following error regarding JRE requirement. I have updated JRE 8 from Oracle website, but I still get the same error. This has started after I updated to Yosemite.
    Also when I click on video I get following error: "A necessary data reference could not be resolved." Hence am unable to play any videos.
    Are these related, can someone help?
    Do note that I have MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) with OS X Yosemite (10.10) and iPhoto 9.6.

    I'd ask about the JRE issue on the Using Mac OS X forum.
    The videos are not necessarily gone:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I can no longer receive short videos in iMessage after downloading iOs7 on my iPhone 4 it says "Downloading", only 4.3MB in size

    I can no longer receive short videos in iMessage after downloading iOs7 on my iPhone 4 it says "Downloading", only 4.3MB in size

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • Can't play videos after I move them to the micro sd memory card

    I moved my videos bought on video unlimited to the micr sd card to save space using the file transfer app that came with the tablet and now they won't play. I just get the message " can't play video". If I move back onto internal memory they won't play - I suppose because not in the original location but can't see how to fix this. I want to store and play from the sd card. What am I doing wrong please!

    I would advise contacting Video Unlimited support for your region regarding this as it sounds like an issue with the DRM on the files: http://en.support.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/app/help/VU/p1

  • Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so

    Dear Adobe.
    Yesterday I installed the latest version of Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so I can uninstall the latest version only. Thank you. Stephen Kress. Melbourne. Australia

    When you run the uninstaller, it will uninstall all Flash Player versions.
    If you want to revert to an older version after that, get it from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

  • Can't play videos on a newly upgraded iBook

    I have recently upgraded my iBook G3 to 10.4.11. I also added an Airport card and a 512 MB RAM card. I can do pretty much anything on the internet (Safari 4.0.4) but can't play videos. The picture is really jumpy & laggy and the sound continues out of sync with the picture. Am I missing something or is the computer just not advanced enough to keep up?

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Streaming video on an iBook G3 is a toughie.
    Some suggestions which I found to help:
    Restart the computer and open only the browser you want to use. Don't have any other applications open when you're attempting to watch streaming video.
    Sometimes Firefox worked better for me than Safari (but I never used 10.4 on my iBook G3).
    Some people have reported luck using VLC:
    http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
    As a last resort, if possible, download the video and watch it from your hard drive.
    Keep in mind that the last, best iBook G3 (900 MHz) was last produced in October of 2003, so you have a very old iBook attempting to play the latest versions of video, so things are often not very workable.
    Good luck.

  • I can't play videos and have followed all advice I've seen

    I can see I'm not the only one as it's mentioned on the forums a few times, but I can't play videos on Itunes or Quicktime anymore.  I've been through each step mentioned by various people one by one and it's still not working - please can someone help?  I've just bought a lead that enables me to watch my computer on my TV screen and downloaded a whole heap of films, but the only place I can watch them is on my phone!
    Thanks.

    similar problem, and I sometimes get "can't load wrong format" warniings for non-purchased mv4 and mp4 content. Previously I'd given-up trying but recently a need for traveling movies has raisd the issue again.

  • HT4072 can't play video files (mp4, avi, mkv) with 5.1 audio tracks

    I have two Macs, one with a mini-optical out and no audio through its mini-displayport, and the other that supports digital audio out through its mini-displayport. On either of my Macs, how can I play video files (mp4, avi, mkv) in 5.1 using Quicktime or iTunes or VLC? I've heard I need Perian. Is this true? If so, how do I configure it on either machine?
    Note that when I connect the computer that supports audio through the mini-displayport to my receiver, my home theater receiver detects a PCM audio connection, but the audio I get out of my speakers is still stereo.
    Both computers are running Snow Leopard. I haven't had the need to upgrade to Lion yet, but if the answer is that I need Lion do do this, I'd spend the $29.
    Thanks for the help!

    This just happened for the first time with an .mkv file I was trying to play. It started fine but then after selecting a menu option in smplayer the video disappeared. It didn't go black, the player just stopped presenting the video. In other words the player switched to audio playback mode only, the window was unable to go into fullscreen or be resized. Smplayer still works with other HD files. Deleting the config directory fixes the problem until I select a menu option, such as, setting the audio to 5.1, then the video portion disappears again.
    Does anyone know what is going on here or have any ideas on how to fix this issue?
    Thanks for any help provided.
    that's because now mplayer they switch to libavformat demuxer for mkv and ogg and i think is a bug in smplayer because is making some configuration for files in file_settings in which is sets demuxer & co. this switch is confusing smplayer and it should be reported upstream
    p.s if you actually select demuxer from smplayer to mkv it would work perfectly

  • Can't Play Video "need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player"

    Ever since upgrading to FF 26 I can't play video on YouTube or many other sites.
    It says "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
    Download it from Adobe."
    So I click on the link which takes me to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, do the install which goes without trouble.
    But afterwards I get the same message when I try to play videos.
    Running Windows 7 on a Desktop PC. Having NO problems playing videos in IE or Chrome. FF used to be great but it's becoming more trouble than it's worth.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    You can try uninstalling it completely via the control panel and then installing it back on to the computer. You can also do a plugin check if you'd like.
    Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
    Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
    To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.
