Cannot dowload YOUTUBE Videos through RealPlayer anymore since your update...I can through IE, which I hate!

Since I updated to Firefox 5.0 , I am unable to download YOUTUBE Videos through RealPlayer...that download Icon has disappeared. I opened I.E. and guess what! I can still download through them...however I absolutely HATE I.E. and love Firefox.
What has changed? What did you guys do?

Dear Pat, please forgive my total ignorance about programs. I'm confused as to why when I had only my Windows Media Player with a plain Adobe I could watch all videos and such, and now suddenly I can't watch them unless I install the Adobe Flash Player and a number of other programs too???
I try to avoid using up so much more memory as programs take, as my computer is pretty old (though works well) and it doesn't have much capacity for installing more memory.
"If you want to play Youtube videos, you will need Adobe Flash Player."
If there's no other choice, I'll install Adobe Flash Player, but will this be sufficient to view videos/Youtube, etc. without having to install more programs?
"If you want to play downloadable videos such as MPEG files, you will need Windows Media Player."
Does "downloadable videos such as MPEG files," mean to copy a video to another place via downloading it? I wondered how to do that when sometimes people ask me to email them a video and didn't know I could use the Windows Media Player which I already have...
"For other file formats you may need other players such as QuickTime or Real Player."
Would you kindly tell me which are the "other file formats" and how can I tell if they are really necessary for me?
"To see what version of Flash Player you have, click on this link http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/ "
I must not have it since each time I try to open a video or Youtube it doesnt let me view it and a flashing popup urges me to "GET THE LATEST FLASH PLAYER".
"P.S. If you don't need/use Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition, you can uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs."
Thank you for telling me, I've uninstalled it and am happy! :) Also thank you for alerting me to NOT install Adobe Media Player.
So far I haven't been able to open any of the videos, Youtube, etc. I receive, so will appreciate it so much if you and/or others could help me understand this, for which, my deepest thanks!! :) Adela

  • With ios 7.03 I cannot expand youtube videos to screen size but get white blanks all around the stream

    since the update to ios 7.0.3 I cannot expand Youtube videos to screen size - instead, the features around the video dissappear and are replaced by white fields. With my ipad mini I do not have that problem.
    Does anybody know advice?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

    Please connect your device to Nokia Suite and reinstall the current firmware from the updates tab. If that does not do the trick, please fully back up your data (Tools > Back up). And hard reset device: type *#7370# on the keypad. Default lock code is 12345.

  • I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8?

    I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8? If this is so, I need to find an older flash player plugin to reinstall. I do not want to upgrade from 10.6.8 at this time because I have 18 yrs. worth of financial records on Quicken that I have read will not work with Lion and I've read bad things about running music programs on Maverick.

    1)  Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) is a full featured app that can be downloaded from Intuit for $15 and will work with your data file if you are using Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 (if you version is earlier, let me know for more instructions on easy conversion):
    http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
    2) Partition your hard drive, or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks there and "dual-boot" to operate your music programs in Snow Leopard and experiment with them in Mavericks.
    DO NOT install Mavericks over Snow Leopard!

  • I cannot open youtube videos to full screen after downloading the latest version of flash. HELP

    I cannot open youtube videos to full screen after updateding flash to the latest version (11. something) HELP! youtube says it is adobe's problem

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating   system  
    Browser  
    Flash   Player version
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows  
    Mac
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
    HTML5   video  
    Non-HTML5 video

  • I cannot watch YOUTUBE videos on my MAC.  Can anyone help me?

    I cannot watch YOUTUBE videos on my MAC.  Can anyone help me?

    Hi ...
    Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin.
    Uninstall your current copy of the plugin, then reinstall new  >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Make sure you uninstall the old plugin first.
    When you are done, if you are using Safari to access YouTube, go to your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache.
    Quit then relaunch Safari. Try a video on YouTube.

  • Cannot play youtube videos

    I cannot play Youtube videos on my MacBook Pro.  I am using Safari.  I checked to see if Google had signed me up in their test program and I am not.  The apple store upgraded flash.
    Any ideas?

    If you are trying to view YouTube content from Safari, that requires Flash which cannot be installed on an iPad.
    A workaround would be to download the You Tube app >  YouTube for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad on the iTunes App Store

  • IPhone cannot load YouTube videos properly

    I've recently been experiencing the problem of my iPhone not loading YouTube videos properly and I have no idea what can be causing this.  when using EDGE it will load fine, but over Wi-Fi videos load incredibly slowly until they stop competely.  I cannot watch any videos now without this happening.  I've tried restoring to factory settings, countless router resets etc. (although that seems to be an improbable cause as there's no problem with my phone's ability to connect to the internet).  Any ideas why this is happening or how I can fix it?

    Reset time, press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts starts on it's own.

    I have a 80gb ipod classic and i cannot get it to sync anymore since I updated my itunes. Does anyone have any suggestions on what i should do?

    Does the device show up in Windows Explorer when connected?
    Have you tried going into Control Panel > Programs & Features > iTunes > Repair?
    Have you proved the cable with a different device, or the device's connectivity with a different computer?

    You can always revert your system to how it was 2 days ago by reinstalling from your Time Machine Backup. Otherwise I would be having a read through the Yahoo Troubleshooting forums for people who may have a similar problem.
