Can't play video on TV

Hi, I've got a 3G iphone, with the latest firmware, and a set of Component AV cables (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB128LL/B). I plug them into the TV, goto the right video mode and try to play a TV show on my iphone. The sound from the show plays through my TV speakers, but the video remains on the iphone. I tried using a different TV, but had the same result. Connections between the phone and cable and cable and TV are tight. I tried all nine permutations of the three video cables in case they were labeled wrong. Firmware on the iphone was updated today. I tried playing both a homemade video and one bought off itunes, same result for both. The included manual if you can even call it though offers no insight on how to get this to work, and I cant find anything online either.

Hi,
I have the same problem, only that it's with a composite cable (not component).
After starting the vidoe playback, after a few seconds I get a message that the device (cable/TV) is not supported by the iPhone and the video output is stopped. The sound goes out through the cable, but the video remains only on the iPhone screen.
Interesting is the fact that before the upgrade to 3.0 it worked perfect.
So I guess it's a bug or new "feature" of the 3.0 OS.
Anyone with same problem or more knowledge about it???

My iPod touch 5th gen can't play videos?

I've had my iPod touch 5th gen since Christmas Eve and I haven't had any problems with it, but a few days ago it stopped playing videos and now - even though I have turned it off and back on and turned the wifi off and back on again - it still can't play videos off any site, Facebook, dailymotion, YouTube, nothing. But I can view webpages and get Internet connection just fine!!
So if you know what I could do to fix it please help because it's very frustrating!!! Thanks

Try:
- 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.
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- 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.

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.

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

Did you also update Adobe Flash Player to be compatible w/your new OS?

I can't play videos on youtube since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. It says, Blocked Plug-In

Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I can't play videos. It says, "Blocked Plug-In". I never have had a problem before.

I resolved this problem with the latest Adobe Flash Player. I don't know why it didn't tell me that in the first place.

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.
