Cannot view embedded videos in Safari 6.0.5

Running OS X 10.8.4 with Safari 6.0.5 and latest versions of all other plug-in software including Flash Player 11.8.800.94
Embedded videos in media sites start by showing a 'Sponsors Message Ad' but then do not play the actual video.
No problem with playing music videos in YouTube with HTLM5 disabled.
Problem the same in Firefox 23.0.1
Any suggestions as fixes recommended in these discussions for Safari/Flash Player problems do not resolve this isssue.
Thanks

The problem started when I was using OS X 10.7 and updated Safari to 6.0.5; As a last resort, or so I hoped, I installed OS X 10.8.4
Full story probably too long but started with :
Scanning through many threads in the safari community to get an idea of what had been tried before
Reloaded Latest Combo OS X update, which I was told would re-install Safari & any missing files - no joy
Deleted all extensions, reinstalled one by one with test inbetween (Flash Player webpage showed that it was working ok ) - no joy
Checked Safari preferences for allow all plugins with numerous tests - no joy
Cleared Safari caches - no joy
Cleared Safari Cookies - no joy
Cleared /Library/Internet plug-ins - no joy
Re-installed Flash Player - no joy
All possible combinations of the steps were carried out with each possible solution
Note : So long as Flash Player was shown as working then the playing of YouTube videos was ok. That seemed to indicate that the problem was in both Safari & Firefox browsers not identifying the media video after the sponsors ad had played.
I am in Australia and the media sites being used are au.yahoo.com and ninemsn.com.au ; interestingly when linking to UK & USA media sites or YouTube the problem goes away.
Could this imply that au.yahoo & ninemsn are using different codec conventions that Flash Player doesn't recognise or even some files got lost in the upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Let me know if you need more detailed information as I'm beginning to think that only a clean installation of Mountain Lion may resolve the problem.
Many thanks for your interest.

  • Cannot view embedded video with FP 11.8.800.175 on WIN 7 Laptop with IE 10.0.9 - hear audio

    I am running a laptop with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer version 10.0.9.  I have loaded and reloaded Flash Player 11.8.800.175.  I want to be able to see embedded videos on websites like Bloomberg TV - all I get is the audio, screenshot below
    Videos seem to work fine in YouTube.
    I have tried the various fixes I have found on this site:
    - deleting flashplayer & macromedia folder as directed,
    - using regedit and finding the MIME folder and associated shockwave-flash key (I have tried changing permissioons as well as deleting the key) (found this in a thread but can't find it again)
    - Checked the activex settings
    - Checked the Manage Add-ons section in settings and all ok there.
    But still do not see the video content - please help before I go crazy.

    I've had this exact same issue (can hear, but not see MOST embedded web videos).  I can see and hear videos on YouTube, but on a site like Vimeo, I can hear the videos but cannot see them.  I have Windows 7, and the latest versions of IE and Chrome.  I get the same exact problem in both, so it doesn't seem to be a browser issue.  Is there any new input here?  Did you ever get the problem resolved or still looking for help?

  • I have started having problems viewing embedded videos in Safari.

    Everything was fine on my iPad 3 until a few weeks ago when the embedded YouTube videos in the forum I visit (using Safari) stopped playing. I get the message...
    Your browser does not currently recognise any of the video formats available.
    Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML 5 video.
    ...the thing is though that the videos will play if I open a new tab and go directly to YouTube (I don't use the app) and they will play if use the Atomic Web app to browse the interent.
    I just want my Safari back to how it was, oh one more thing the videos play fine if I browse the same forum using Safari on my iPhone 4S.
    Any real help will be very much appreciated, thanks in advance.

    I am using OS X Mountain Lion. I really dont want to have to reinstall anything. An OS Reinstall is really no less annoying than a Reinstall of the CS6 package. Sadly it looks like this may be the only way forward. Just hope I can do it without losing too much from the machine as it is my work machine.
    Thanks for your help and for the link. I just wish Adobe was more directly contactable about issues that come up when using their products.

  • 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!

  • Since upgrading to Lion, I cannot play QuickTime videos in Safari 5.1.1, not even on Apple's own website?

    Upgraded to Lion and now I cannot watch QuickTime videos in Safari 5.1.  Did not have this problem in Snow Leopard.  QuickTime videos do play in Firefox.  I cannot even play QuickTime videos on Apple's own website.  Any suggestions?  I'm using a Macbook Core 2 Duo.

    Hi Sami,
    I have partially solved my problem.  I had software installed for a Twelve South BassJump (it improves the sound of your laptop speakers).  When I removed that software, I was able to play videos on Apple's website in Safari.  The company has beta software available from their website that is supposed to be Lion compatible but when I installed that the problem returned.  But even with that software removed I still cannot watch videos on some sites such as Other World Computing.
    I just got a new Macbook Pro yesterday with Lion installed from Apple and all video plays fine.  So I believe there must be some compatibilty issues with some plug-in.  I have Perian and Flip4Mac installed.  I removed 3ivx and the problem still remains.  I've read conflicting opinions as to Perian being Lion compatible.
    Everything works fine in Firefox at this point so at least I have that to fall back on.
    Check your system preference pane under "other" and tell me if you have any of the plug-ins I mentioned installed.  Maybe we will be able to see a common culprit.
    Let's keep each other posted.
    Thanks,
    Chris in Ohio (USA)

    I cannot view some videos and participate in some websites since Adobe upgraded all to Flash 11.7. I have an older Mac G5 PowerPC (no Intel chip) running OS 10.5.8. I keep getting splash screens saying I have to update to Flash 11.7 but 11.7 is made for those Macs with an Intel chip. I am running the newest Flash for my system. It seems all concerned should have made Flash retro-compatible for those of us with older Macs. Is there a work around to this Flash requirement short of buying a new Mac with the Intel chip?

    I'll bet you'll have better luck if you post your question in the Power Mac discussions here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_mac
    Either that, or one of the forums at Adobe.
    Good luck.

  • I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?

    Does anyone have a solution for this???
    "I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?"

    Back up all data. Please read this whole message before doing anything, so you'll know what to expect.
    Open Safari's preferences dialog and make notes of everything you would need to recreate the basic settings, such as your home page. That includes the settings of Safari extensions, if any are installed.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens and press return. A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
    Launch Safari. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. Your bookmarks, history, and AutoFill data will be preserved.
    Test. If Safari now works as expected, recreate its settings and delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place. Post your results.

  • Cannot view embeded sopfilter content

    Hi,
    I'm running windows 7 starter and I cannot view embedded sopfilter content in firefox 4. I was able to do it with firefox 3, but not in 4. I'm still able to view the content with IE, but I would much prefer to use Firefox as I did before.
    Every time I load the page it's asking me to install the plugin... after going through the wizzard, it says I have to install it manually... but Microsoft says that the required plugin is already preinstalled on windows 7 and gives me nothing to install.
    Please help!!!

    Using Firefox 4, please visit the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugin Check page] - this will tell you the status of your plugins and may hint at what action is required.

  • I loaded 4.0 and now I cannot view any videos. Flash player causes Firefox to stop responding.

    I am running XP. I recently loaded Firefox 4.0 on my system.
    There were a lot of problems loading some web sites. Your help system suggested to disable all plugins. I did this and I don't have problems with web sites anymore but I cannot view any videos. I have tried reinstalling Adobe Flash but it just causes Firefox to stop responding.
    Ideas?

    '''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''''' {web link}
    While you are in safe mode;

  • QuickTime 7.5.5, Cannot Play Embedded Video on this Update

    I recently updated te the latest version of QuickTime Update (7.5.5), and for some reason, I cannot view emedded or streaming video...for example the new promos and TV commercials on Apple.com, etc...I see the QuickTime logo, with a large question mark in front of it....am I missing a plugin of some sort, or what's the deal? It worked fine before? Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi I'm having the same problem over here.
    Quicktime worked just fine before the major iTunes update a few days ago. I first noticed this problem when I couldn't see Apple's new commercials for the new iPod touch games on their website, and then tonight, as I was on the interblag, any embedded audio or video content wouldn't play, but instead just stared at me with a "?" mark.
    Even sites that have a "download" link for audio (the ones where once you click on the link you are taken to a dark grey screen with just the quicktime player in the middle and the song will start playing), you know, the ones where you have to right-click the links and choose "Download Linked File" won't work, because when you right-click the link and choose "Download Linked File", your Safari download will stop and say "error- missing file" or something like it.
    To rule out any easy fixes that you might have in mind,
    - Latest hardware/software (iMac 3.06GHz, Leopard 10.5.5, All software up-to-date...)
    - Tried re-intsalling quicktime (which requires computer restarts)
    - Tried trashing quicktime THEN re-installing quicktime
    - Tried re-installing quicktime, then re-installing flip4mac
    - Tried threatening my computer verbally
    Along with xharris, any help with this problem would be lovely.

  • Problems with embedded Video in Safari

    I have an issue when I try to open an embedded video within either safari.
    I can not open anything, and if the embedded video is Quicktime based, I just get the large 'Q' (Quicktime) sitting in the middle and no video.
    Can anyone help or tell me how I fix my Plugins within the browser please?
    Many Thanks
    Gary

    How to view/hear pretty much everything:
    Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    The world should now be your oyster!
    You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • Cannot view embedded images in emails with iPad mini

    Hi there - I can't view embedded images in emails with iPad mini. Any reason why?
    Can anyone help?

    I am having the same problem + I cannot download pdf attachment effectively.
    This all happened after I upgraded the iOS to 7.x.  In iOS 6.x, everything was working fine. I was able to see all the images in the email and, when I clicked on the pdf attachment, it would ask me if I want to save the pdf file to iBook.  Right now, I cannot have either ones working.
    I am using iPad 2.
