Can't watch some video

As examples I cannot play CNN video, CBS video, money magazine video or dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/ videos on my Macbook Pro, 10.7.5 in Safari 6.0.5.
Some video works, You-Tube for instance. What could cause this?

CNN as well as the other sites including YouTube require Flash.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete all under Browsing Data and Settings.
Back to Safari. Empty the cache by pressing Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video on CNN.

Try loading the same video in different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer are your best options). If the issue is across all of them, make sure you've downloaded the latest version of Flash at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If it's still stopping after that...Do the tried and tested method for everything: reset your router.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by "Find My Mac."
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.

Why I can't watch any video on Apple official website?

Why I can't watch any video on Apple official website? Everytime I open it it's only a blank frame. I have already downloaded QuickTime several times, it's a windows8.1 PC.

I am new to Ubuntu, but I see videos ok. Firefox may play some natively but I also have FlashPlayer installed. IIRC FlashPlayer is not on the original Ubuntu 11.10 CD but has to be installed as a separate Firefox plugin. From your system information aside it appears you do already have FlashPlayer installed.
* Have you got FlashPlayer enabled currently ?
* I Note you have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX Div X] installed, which is not something I know about, but could that be interfering with some videos, have you tried disabling Div X.

How can I watch the video on the ABC news website?

You guys have talked about this issue before, but just in case there has been any changes or ideas I was wondering...
Is there a way for us Mac people to watch video on the ABC news web site? I used to be able to when ABC was using Real Media. But they went in house and I couldn't watch their archived stuff. Like World News Tonight programs.
Oddly, there is video on the site that I can watch. Like shorter stories.
Also, on MSNBC, I can watch the daily news broadcast, but can't watch other video on the MSNBC site.
I'm not really computer savy, but I do understand this has something to do with "the platform" ABC news is using.
Any ideas or good results?
Thanks,
Mylesaway

First of all, thanks for all your help.
But here's the deal, some of the videos do and always have played on the ABC website for me. But not all. The free stuff on the first page all plays. The other videos on other pages do not. Not now, and not before when I had a paid subscription. It's the archived material or whole World News Tonight and Nightline shows that are not playing for me.
But again, the individual stories on the front page of the site do play.
Same problem with the MSNBC website. But with a slight twist. It says I don't have the needed video player. And can't watch the smaller stories on the front page of the site. However, when I try to watch the webcasts of the entire NBC NIGHTLY NEWS with BRIAN WILLIAMS, I can watch it with no problem at all!
Plus, I do have the Macromedia Flash player installed on my computer. And it still doesn't work.
Thanks,
Myles

How can I watch a video clip in my iPad 3?

I just got an attached video clip from my brother, sent to my hotmail. When I open the clip, it just shows an overcrossed play bottom! How can I watch a video clip in hotmail, using an iPad? Do I need to download an app or what? Please!?

Well on a Mac you can install
Flash
Silverlight
Perian
VLC
Flip4Mac
DivX
and many other codecs/tools to watch anything.
Guess the iOS isn't really all that it's cracked up to be, ignoring the wider world out there.
Your only choice to complain to Apple about closed devices they make, but of course they know this already and using the iPad as a cheap "netbook" halo effect device so you get to upgrade to a Mac, just like they do with iPhones and iPods.
In the meanwhile they are slowly closing the door on OS X, a little at a time so it's not noticeable.
Pretty soon the excuse will be "sorry I can't play your video you sent me mom, I've got a Mac"

I can't watch a video with the extension mpg or avi or anyother one using flexplayer for my ipad. Which player i can download to watch the videos that i receive in my email?

Unfortunatelly, something’s not working fine on Flexplayer during the last cupple of months. A lot of updates have been released lately and the problems persist. Since iOS 6 was on the air, the problems became even worst. It’s a shame, but I think it’s time to change the app we are using. The alternative I found is 8Player, it works fine, similar to Flexplayer (but nicer interfase), and the best is that it supports “.flv” (not sure Flexplayer did). You can save your files to your hard disc using iTunes and then transfer them again to your idevice, once you’ve installed 8Player. I hope this helps. Bye bye Flexplayer!!

Hi there!
It may be that the video file isn't quite compatible enough. Here's a link to the KB article that discusses the requirements for media on the BB's. Hopefully something there will be of use to you...

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
What can I do ..??
Regards.

Why I can't open some video in my facebook?

Why I can't open some video in my facebook?

Hi Chris.
Ok every son gneeds artist and album, but why in my 20 G photo Ipod I can see the songs searching via artist without any problem. And why in the new 30G video Ipod it only happens with some artists, cause for example I have 40 u2 songs, some with album name and some not, and all of them appear searching via artist. But with another artist, for example def leppard, I have 15 songs (some with album name, and some not) and searching via artist I can see only the ones in some particular album, and others that also have album name dont appear unless I look for them via song

Do you have a PPC G5 Mac or an Intel Mac?

Went to watch a video on You Tube that I have watched before on my iMac and got the prompt that I had to upload Adobe Flash Player. Did that, and am still getting the same prompt and can't watch any videos at all. What is going on here, Apple??

I do not know how to do this with an Apple TV (I don't have one), but as far as I know Apple TV only does mirroring.
If you have an HDMI cable long enough to reach your TV from where you sit, then it's easy. The TV could be set up in Extended Desktop mode (mirroring off) as if it was simply another computer monitor, and then you could just drag windows to it. If you have the Displays icon in your menu bar, that's where the setting is, or if the icon is not there, then the setting is in the Displays system preference. But again, that's for conventionally connected monitors, not Apple TV. If you don't have an HDMI cable and wanted a long one that's affordable you can get those at monoprice.com.
The answer we are still waiting for is if anyone knows if Apple TV can be used in extended desktop (non-mirroring) mode.
