Cannot play Facebook videos

Suddenly cannot play Facebook videos on iPhone or iPad that could early evening yesterday. I get a check your connection. It isy wi-fi which has worked well for years. I just updated is 0S8. Since I create videos this is bad very bad for me. What can I do? I am also posting this to wi-fi. This post went to video problems first.

Greetings SilverBear,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error when attempting to view videos. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:

How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

  • Cannot play Facebook videos on my ipad 3 - My family can on theirs????

    Hi Guys,
    I cannot play Facebook videos on my ipad 3 but my husband and kids can on their ipad 3's while we are all sitting next to each.
    Get a loading message then its says An error occurred while processing your request Reference #50.c5fe3d17.1354202551.5533ac2d
    Your help would be very much appreciated
    Kind regards
    Jo

    Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • Cannot play Flash video in Chrome 64bit

    I cannot play Flash videos in Facebook when I upgraded my Google Chrome on Windows 8.1 to the latest 64bit v.37 and Flash player to v.15 . The error message was "Can't load plug-in". I enabled Flash players in the plugin section, reinstall Chrome. Nothing worked until I "downgraded" my Google Chrome to 32bit. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    Rebooted Windows and it is working. Note to self : It is good to reboot the system after a few weeks.

  • Unable to Play facebook video

    Unable to Play facebook video

    All videos on Facebook are h.264 encoded so they don't need flash. Don't spread false information, iPad safari can play Facebook videos since last year. I used to play them without an issue on my iPad but I guess the latest software update screwed that up.
    http://www.intomobile.com/2010/04/27/facebook-enables-ipad-friendly-video-playba ck/
    The link says videos uploaded on Facebook are encoded in iPad friendly format, YouTube videos are already iPad friendly so you should be able to play most videos on Facebook on your iPad safari.

  • After upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer or even off my iTunes library

    after upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer, love film or even directly off my iTunes library. in each case, all i get is a black screen and no error message.

    Hi, i had the same problem and tried this,
    Somehow iTunes is tied to Safari. Try this:
    Someone mentioned to clear all website data and history in safari, stupid but it was either this or the below that fixed it
    or this,
    Disable Wi-Fi Networking Services
    Many users have reported that they’ve solved their issues by disabling Wi-Fi Networking under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. This only relates to your location being used for Wi-Fi Networking, so it doesn’t disable Wi-Fi entirely.
    Please let me know if it works.

  • Why I cannot play a video in Photoshop Elements 12

    I cannot play a video .mov file in Photoshop Elements 12

    The Photoshop Elements Editor can't play video files. The Organizer can, but only if they are supported formats. Formats like AVI, MOV, and others are not true formats but containers. The video within them could be encoded by any one of a vast number of codecs. You can find out with the free utilities GSpot or MediaInfo (Google them). Certainly GoPro and MJPEG can cause problems for Elements.
    For more help, once you know the format of your problem files, you'd be better off posting your question in the Premiere Elements forum.
    Cheers,

    My iPod mini, 4gb is hard to get serviced obviously because they dont make them anymore
    It is as simple to get it serviced as the day you purchased it.
    How is it hard to get it serviced?
    How long have you had your iPod?
    i get maybe 4-5 hours of battery life, maybe even 6 if im lucky
    That is not good but it's not "terrible".
    If you've had it less than a year, send it back to Apple to replace the battery.
    thought that i might buy an attachment type accesorie that i plug into the usb port on my ipod
    It's called a dock connector, not a USB port.
    i found a product in the online store, that i guess you place the ipod mini on, and it gives you up to 20 or so more hours of time but then it says that you have to have a firewire port or cable?
    What is it? The firewire port is on the computer, not the iPod.
    If the original battery is going bad, the first thing to do is get that sorted out.

  • What is the workaround to play facebook videos on my iPad without Flash?

    I get frustrated everytime I take my iPad out with me and people want to see videos I've posted (or others have posted) on facebook.  Of course the warning comes up saying I need to install "Flash."  Well, we know that won't work.  Does anyone know another way to play facebook videos?  If this can't be done - EASILY, I'm afraid the current iPad will also be my last.  This is a showstopper issue. 

    What is confusing Meg is the fact that I have a bunch of Architectural Engineers that think they can do everything on a Tablet.
    With dozens of them floundering between PC's and Macs all with their own tablet (BYOD). I have to keep everyone with the flow of production. And I have my own projects to complete. It gets where I would like to do away with all PC's when Microsoft releases IE 11 on Windows 7 and then everyone is complaining about "Facebook doesn't play video's".
    That I can deal with by locking them down because I have beeen doing PC CADD management for over 30+ years.
    Why the "Powers that be" let the nimnod goofballs that really don't get their work done is beyound my comprehension.
    It is bad enough dealing with Microsoft because Apple to me is so easy, because it just works. Linix on a few dedicated miniservers and Windows Servers with Exchange is OK because I can assign rights and control that segment of the Architects, Engineers and CADD Personel.
    But when I am supporting iPads, iPhones, Android devices, yes it gets confusing and I am fixing to set a policy of if it doesn't work then they are they assigned the lowest piroity as work needs to get done.
    Only a few good A/E people that do surveys on-site do I even take care of. The rest are playing on facebook as I have restricted the use of it on our company Network, Intranet and Internet.
    Too much for one person to do with over 40 employees that can really be done.
    I am responable for the UNIX boxes that run our highend CAD software as well as the renderings, animations & Plotting, 2D & 3D.
    We produce all that for the clients to drool over, usually at a meeting out of the house and on a iPad. Those are owned by the company I work for and I never have real issues with them as I check them out and don't let them go home with anyone but a principle of the Firm.
    Anyway, thank you for straightning me out and your kind words will not be forgotten.
    Peace & God Bless... ~ Kent ~

  • Cannot play any video (even youtube vids) on my HP TouchSmart 520 with Windows 8 in Metro Mode.

    HP TouchSmart 520 PC
    Windows 8
    Just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8. 
    Upgrade was uneventful.. went very smoothly.
    Problem is now I cannot play any videos in the new Metro Mode (I tried using various apps... Video, youtube player, etc).. not even youtube videos. 
    However, when I select Desktop mode.. everything still works fine.
    Any idea what is wrong ? 

    Hello WongKO:
               Welcome to HP's forum. I do not know much about Windows 8. Reading this fact sheet it says that you need to purchase the media software and upgrade to Windows 8 pro. This fact sheet should guide you. http://www.windowsupgradeoffer.com/en-US/Home/Faq? Windows 8 system requirements section.Will DVD playback work after upgrading to Windows 8? This one is in general section. Will installation media be available for purchase? Back to Windows 8 requirements. Is Windows Media Center included in the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro? Least you are able to watch videos in other mode until you figure out what is best. Good luck frrw. Ounce you have figured out the software purchases you should post it to help others out. My computer is to old for upgrade. No drivers were made for it.

  • I cannot play a video .mov file in Photoshop Elements 12, it shows as a blank white screen

    I cannot play a video file (.mov) in Adobe Photoshop Elements, only can hear sound, and shows as a blank white screen. 

    Margie
    Thanks for the replies.
    I did some homework on your camera, and it appears to be recording H.264 video compression, Linear PCM Stereo, with a .mov file extension.
    Let us do a check list to make sure we agree on the details...
    a. You cannot play back the video in the Elements Organizer 12
    b. Can you import this video into Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace with the program's Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets? Does it then show up in Project Assets with an image in the thumbnail? Can you drag the video from Project Assets to the Timeline and have the Edit Mode monitor display that video and play it back there when you hit the monitor play button?
    From what I have read of your camera, you could be recording 1920 x 1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second. Can you supply an information on that? What are you or the project setting as the project preset (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio.)
    Could you explain what you mean by
    and can play it in the video editor, but it just shows the frames, not a real video play.
    I am searching the Internet to see if I can find a sample file that I can download.
    More later.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • I cannot play any video at any site through M-Firefox 17.

    Hi,
    Cannot play any video in any site through M-Firefox 17.0. The screen goes black in facebbok and dailymotion no window appears as usually it should.
    Pls help ihave installed Flash player 11.5.*** also but no use. If you want i can send you screenshot also that what happens
    Regards

    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
