Cannot download or play videos from gallery since Lion upgrade

Since downloading Lion I have been unable to play videos sent on MobileMe Gallery. It also will not download them from gallery. It is not just a problem on my iMac, but also on my MacBook Pro. Any way to fix this?

Yes, it's a bug. Have you applied the Mac OS X v10.6.1 Update? If not do so and try again. If that doesn't work all we can do is report the problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Cannot play videos in iPhoto since SL upgrade

Since I upgraded to SL, it appears that I cannot play videos that I have loaded to iPhoto. I go into an event in iPhoto in which I have some digital camera videos and they do not play. These used to open in QuickTime and run fine. When I click on the video and choose "Show File", it will show me where the file lives. These are fine on my computer and can now run them from here, but it used to work right in iPhoto. Has anybody had this happen to them? Is it a bug with SL or is there a new setting or something I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I cannot download pictures and videos from HDR-CX700 camcorder to windows 8.1 laptop

HiI am trying to download the pictures and videos from the HDR-CX700 camcoder to a windows 8.1 laptop, I get a sound but noting happens.Bernard

Hi soincabf,
Could you tell more about what happens when the camcorder is connected to the computer? Is it being recognized by the computer itself? What software are you using to import your files? Have you tried using other computers?
When the camcorder is turned on and connected properly to the computer, the LCD display of the camera should display USB connected. Please make sure that the USB connect setting of the camera is set to MTP/PTP. We recommend using the PlayMemories Home software for easier import and editing of pictures and videos.
But if the computer doesn't recognized the camera, we suggest trying other USB ports of the computer and disconnect any devices, aside from the keyboard and mouse, from the PC. We'd also suggest trying i on other computers. If it doesn't have any issues connecting to other devices. Then we suggest contacting your computer manufacturer for further assistance.
If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accept as Solution". Thanks_Mitch

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.

I cannot download and convert videos from Youtube using Firefox v31 and Downloadhelper v4.9.22

This has been a problem for at least 18 months. I receive updates to Firefox and Downloadhelper as they become available and am registered so that I can use the conversion process.
I've looked through the support pages but they don't help me to fix the problem. If a fix exists I would prefer it to be a "Click this button" rather than lines and lines of revised code.
Please help, soonest would be nice.

I can confirm that as of this morning I have v4.9.23 of Downloadhelper. I have manually updated SilverLight, to 5.1.30514.0, and the red warning on the Plugins page has now gone away, I now get an Up to Date message.
I still have the Youtube problem. I have closed and restarted Firefox but have not yet done a cold boot of my computer.
I do have 5 unknown plugins that Firefox says I need to research, these are for
Microsoft® DRM
Windows Presentation Foundation
NPCIG.dll (this relates to a Canon image gateway)
Windows Live® Photo Gallery
Google Update
The .dll will have come along with software with my camera but I have not idea about the rest.
Now whether the DRM is causing the problem I don't know but I am running Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 and Windows Media Player 11. For info my PC is running a legitimate copy of Windows XP SP3.
Thanks for the continuing help.

IPhoto slideshows will no longer play songs from iTunes since I upgraded to Mavericks. In fact trying to use a song from iTunes crashes iPhoto. Any suggestions?

Having a lot of problems with iPhoto since upgrading to Mavericks. Wondering if there's not enough memory in my version (I was unable to update iMovie because my system is incompatible with the new version.) A slideshow will play but silently even though there appears to be a song from iTunes attached. Two songs where I've had this problem were not purchased from iTunes but downloaded from personal CDs. Very frustrating as I simply cannot figure it out. And getting direct help from Apple either via Chat or Phone has become near impossible as you try to wade through the roadblocks of links upon links. I tried to create a new slideshow and pull in songs but the same thing happened. The aforementioned songs play OK on my iPad just not on myiMac - it's a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, so aging not well perhaps! Any ideas welcome.

OK, answering my own question..well, via Arleen 259 and Old Toad apparently courtesy of keysandfood! (Copy of Old Toad post below. Thanks to all...IT WORKED!
In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

I canon play video from my ipad through my Apple TV after downloading ios7 any idea why?

Is there any reason I can't play video from my ipad through Apple TV after downloading ios7?

Home sharing isn't working either
Which is why you can not use the remote app. Did you turn on home sharing on your computer and on ATV?
eve though they have the same Apple ID.
Did you enter the ApplieID in the home sharing login though? Or just in for the iTunes store, or iCloud, or photo sharing, or something else?
Home sharing isn't working either, I can't play or transmit any video from my iPad to the Apple TV because it doesn't recognize it
That would be AirPlay, not homesharing. THey are not related. Did you enable air play on all the devices?
Have you run the network test tools on ATV? Can ATV access the iTunes store, Netflix, etc?

Can't play movie from gallery on mac

I can not play movies from my gallery on my macbook. These movies are imported from Canon A630 to iPhoto. In iPhoto I can play them well. All of them are published to my mobileme gallery using iPhoto. Then I open this gallery in Safari on my macbook to check if everything was published. And when I try to play a movie QuickTime tells me that it needs some additional software and directs me to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.htmlos=OSX&ctype=696d6463&cs ubtype=4d4a5047
I visited this page earlier and installed divx, xvid, recode raw and ensharpen codecs. Also I have Perian and Flip4mac installed codecs. So my main question is: why can't I play movies from gallery using safari if in the same time I can view them well from iPhoto?
Playing of movies published with iMovie works well. But this does not matter to me since I want videos to be published in events with photos. If iPhoto has functionality to publish videos so it must work! Also I must mention that videos published with iPhoto can be played without problems from my PC with safari+quick time for windows. But under my Mac none of Safari, Firefox and Camino can view videos from my gallery. So I think problem is in QuickTime.

Anybody?????? Im using web premium CS5.5 it seems ludicrous that by default it lets every website play content on my computer but regards my own content as a security risk and wont let me rectify the problem!

Cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store

Hello,
I cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store.
I says "Failed to download" and error has occurred
What is wrong?
is it my Macbook?

I had a problem way back in the olden days, i.e., FCPX 10.0.2, and finally gave up and called the Apple Store using a land-line phone.
Anyway, (this was a couple years ago), if I remember right, they passed me off to someone in the FCPX group and I got the App. However, this was not a really goo way to go because for many updates afterward, everytime I wanted to update I had to go thorugh the same ritual.
Finally, probably around 10.0.8, things got "fixed" and since then I've been able to go direct and download it from the App Store without having to make a phone call.
My suggestion would be to try calling the App Store. Maybe, if there is a "global problem" and they get a lot of calls, they will fix it.
Heck, maybe write a Knowlede Base (KB) article about it.
Disclaimer: I didn't check to see if there was one.

Is there a software like flash player for ipad.what software do I exactly need in order to play videos from websites?

Is there a software like flash player for ipad.what software do I exactly need in order to play videos from websites?

NKafafi88-
There may be a couple Apps that may help, but I understand they don't work very well. The best solution would be to contact the owners of the websites and let them know they need to update their site.
The alternative I use, is to download the problem video onto my computer, and convert it to M4V or MP4 format using a program like HandBrake <HandBrake>. Then it can be added to iTunes and synced with the iPad.

HT5622 Why I can't download music and video from my computer to my iphone 5s?

No idea, since you provide no info at all about your issue.

TS3297 iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store.

iTunes error coe 8012: cannot download newly-purchased music from iTunes store. Anyboy else get this looping error?

Hey everybody,
I also was experiencing the unknown error -42018 when attempting to download purchased music. Additionally, I was stuck in an endless authorization loop when attempting to play previously purchaed music. All this started when I installed the latest iTunes software 7.0.2.
I run windows XP Pro, and unlike the majority of users I actually set it up correctly with a dedicated administrator account, and regular user accounts instead of just running as admin all the time. For me, that was the cause of the problem.
The new version of iTunes software required FULL CONTROL privilages on the iTunes and iPod install directories for all user accounts that were using the program. (Previous versions worked fine, so this is a new thing.) Once I provided those permissions, iTunes worked correctly. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 for information on how to provide FULL CONTROL to every user account.
I hope you all find this helpful in solving your problem.
Good Luck,
Bill

While playing videos from YouTube it stops playing on my iPad2

While playing videos from YouTube it stops playing on my iPad2

Try to download the application VLC.
It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

Play video from input stream

urgent
i need to play an mpg file from a jar file but the Manager.createPlayer now only Url object
is there any other way to play video from InputStream?

You may want to take a look at this:
http://www.extollit.com/isdsjmf.php
I developed a similar implementation of this for a client and it works fine. It's based on using a sequential InputStream as a DataSource for the media player. As you may already know, the Java Media Framework does not seem to support URLDataSource and/or sequential InputStreams.
This code allows you to play media from nothing more than an InputStream without downloading it all into memory or to a local file. It uses a ringbuffer as a compromise along with some other enhancements.
