Can't watch streaming videos anymore.

I am using Apple OS 10.4.11 (Tiger) with Flash Player 10.1 on a Desktop Emac and on a Laptop MacBook. Both computers are similar, if not identical in setup and software employed. Yesterday I could view streaming videos on both computers. Today I suddenly cannot view streaming videos on the Desktop, but I can on the Laptop. How is that possible? Webcams attempt to load on the Desktop, saying "Loading interface", but where the Laptop goes on to say "Initializing", the Desktop now says "Loading Error 102, please try again", but re-trying does not help. It is as though i have shut something off that was on before. I have tried downloading Java and Java Script, Flashplayer 10.102.64, checking to make sure no Firewall is up, Java is enabled, and everything else I have found online to try to remedy the situation, to no avail.
Occasionally, I accidentally trip an F key and have to work through it. Could I have tripped something that now won't let me watch streaming videos on my Desktop? Is that possible? I just can't find any answers. Any new suggestions?

Open System Preferences/QuickTime
Click the 'Streaming' tab
Set the speed to one slower than your network connection
Check 'Enable Instant on'
Drag the slider 2-3 notches from the left
Click the 'Browser' tab
Check 'Play movies automatically'
Check 'Save movies in disc cache'
Slide the size selector all the way to the right
Click 'Empty Download cache'
Close the panel and try viewing another video

Can't Watch Streamed Video

In Apple's site, I've been trying to watch the Steve's Keynote Addresses, which I've done before on this machine, but now, for some reason when I click the links (either standard or HD) I get an error message that says "This computer's Internet connection appears to be online. (-66559)...and then gives me the option to click "OK" or "Network Diagnostics". And, after clicking "OK", the videos still do not load.
Anybody know how to fix this issue? Thanks!
Using the latest version of QuickTime--

Try the following:
QuickTime System Preferences>Advanced tab>Transport Setup: to Custom and then HTTP Port ID 80 instead of Automatic or UDP.

How can I hook up my Sony surround sound to Apple TV to watch streaming videos?

How can I hook up Apple TV to my Sony surround sound to watch streaming video from Netflix?

Which Apple TV is it?
There should be outputs you can use for video/audio. The latest Apple TV has HDMI out. Find the correct cable that matches your TV and follow Sony's user manual to hook everything up correctly.

I have updated my iPad to IOS 8.1.2. And now I cant watch any videos anymore. Not on Facebook, YouTube, etc. How can I fix this?

Watching streaming videos on TV through iPad mini

My parents have an iPad mini. I got them a subscription to netflix and would like to buy a cable to connect iPad mini to their tv so they can watch streaming videos on there. A rep from Apple told me that there is no such cable and I must buy Apple TV. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance for any help or adivce.

only apps which were made to support av out will display on the tv
test with the build in apple video app
if it does work and whatever other app don't the fault is with the other app not with the ipad and or cable

How can I watch this video?

Guys, I have a MacBook (from around Christmas 2007). I downloaded Flip4Mac and have little trouble watching streaming video. I went to a CBS-affiliate website and can't see the video that I want to see. I can watch the featured video fine. But the video that I want to see is one listed below the features. I followed the " downloaded Windows Media Player plugin with no chage. When I click on the link it kicks me over to the "MAC USERS: Video Troubleshooting Tips." I downloaded WMP to no avail.
What can I do?
Here is the website:
http://www.wreg.com/Global/category.asp?C=53326

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
It doesn't play for me either and the help file says Flip4mac is not supported "at this time" so I guess they don't like Macs.
The site says:
"Does the Video Player support Flip4Mac?
Not at this time. To download Window Media Player, click here."
And even that link to DL the player is messed up. It goes to something completely different.
It's a typical website run by typical website personnel who barely manage to get things working.
The main video is flash which is why it plays.
Here is the MS page for whatever it offers:

To answer your question - you need to run Winders.

Firefox Problems Watching Streaming Video (Netflix, Hulu, etc.)

I have Netflix, hulu, VH1, etc. accounts that I use currently to watch movies, t.v. shows, videos, etc. online (desktop) as my only means to any entertainment. I continually have problems with unexpected pauses, starts/stops, "getting stuck" & having to reboot.
I use the free version of Advanced Care Systems to "maintain" my computer. In the last month, I must used the ACS several times a day in order to watch streaming video. Something is obviously wrong. The last time I tried Google Chrome to watch, I did not have the same issues as often.
I love Firefox so I'd like to know what I can do to "fix" this problem.

"ImacG5 (3.0)"
I don't see that model listed.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301724-en How to identify your iMac
Please clarify which model iMac you actually have.
=======================
"I have multiple video viewers in addition to Quicktime Pro."
Which ones. Latest versions?
What type of internet service do you have? Cable, satallite, dialup or DSL?
Have you contacted your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end?

We are getting ready to purchase the new iMac 27" and would like to know which is best for watching streaming video, the fusion drive or the more expensive flash drive only

We are getting ready to purchase the new imac 27" and would like to know which is the best configuration for watching streaming video, the fusion drive or the more expensive flash drive. We will have a fast fiberoptic internet connection.

the harddisk speed mean nothing when it comes to streaming video from the internet
even the fastests internet using fiberoptics is still much slower then the slowests harddisk you can buy

Quicktime crashes while watching streaming video

Hi,
Who can help me?
Quicktime 7.2 often unexpectedly quits while I watch streaming video.
I tried - installing quicktime again, - using cable for internet instead of wireless, made a new account on my mac - got rid of the qt preferences -.. nothing works, it still quits while I watch online video.
who has the solution?

i am having the same problem, except when i try to open it using itunes it also closes down and gives me that error message. I also tried opening the files with nero and the problem occurs there also. i wish there was a fix for this because quicktime 6 worked great.

Watching streaming video on an 867mhz TiBook?

I'm struggling to watch streamed video content on my 867mhz TiBook and wondered whether there was anything I could do to make content run properly? It's running 10.4.11 with 1GB RAM, using Safari. I'm trying to watch BBC i-Player content.
Thanks

1. Don't have any other applications or operations running at the same time.
2. If you can download the video first and then watch it from your hard drive instead of streaming it in real time, do so.
3. Check with your ISP to see whether they offer an option providing greater bandwidth and faster download speeds.
4. If you use cable internet, watch streaming video during off-peak hours when there's less competition for the available bandwidth.
5. Expect the steadily growing demands of multimedia-laden websites to make your Powerbook completely obsolete for such uses before long. Some would tell you it already is obsolete, and they aren't far wrong.

IOS 8.0.2 Cannot watch/stream videos (YouTube)

Ever since I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 8.0.2 I have not been able to watch/stream videos, such as YouTube and other videos. All I see is a spinning circle like it's buffering, only it's not. I've tried it on various wifi's and even turned off my wifi using my data-streaming and still get spinning circle of death!!! Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions or advice anyone may have is much appreciated!

Safari keeps blocking when i watch streaming videos

Safari keeps blocking when i watch streaming videos. After 30 min it blocks the video and then all Safari is blocked with the colourful wheel turning for 2-3 minutes. What can I do? I updated flash to the latest version. It drives me nuts. I tried several links, it's not the link that is not working. HELP pls.

The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.

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"

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.

Can't watch streaming videos anymore.
