Captivate 5.5 videos won't open in IE

When I publish a video with .swf, .swf_skin, and htm files, it works in other browsers, but won't open in Internet Explorer.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Most of our clients use IE.

Hi there
So we know the pain is localized to the bottom part of the body. Can we be a wee bit more specific?
You said "IE". Does that mean ANY version of IE? Or is it limited to a specific version?
Cheers... Rick

Video won't open in iPad/iPad 2

I've tried several different saves using the presets for iPad and went to the Apple store to find the actual settings for the video's to open in iPad/iPad2. Still I can see the download from the server I use for my clients but they (the client) say they don't get anything or they get a circle with line running through it. Meaning it won't download. I have a small on-line business where video's are downloaded to the client. I need to figure this out.
I've tried widescreen, regular screen, medium and quality, File type is H264, frame: 29.97 or 30, AAC, 128 kbps, 48 kHz Stereo
I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 10 - Version 10
Any suggestions?

This is correct Steve. I have one very irrate new client who can not open it and a friend who is also having trouble. The server I use shows the downloads going through. I don't have an iPad to test it so I have no idea what is happening on their end. My friend said she is getting the circle with line through it. The client doesn't reply.
I just uploaded the video to Photobucket for a group share. You'll see I'm a beginner in the design area but the formatting seems like it should be pretty straight forward.
Here is the link to that:

http://s856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/HoofMechanics/?action=view&current=AdvTech-RimNot ch-FtLt-IpadMed.mp4 - Regular Setting - Med
I have this on a server who automates a link to the client after payment and that is where they are getting the video from. I can't set this up for a group share but can send it to an individual email address to test. This is the first time I've sent it out from the photobucket format so not sure if this will make a difference in it opening to the iPad. I guess we will see if this is part of the problem.
Thanks for the reply.

Flash Video Won't Open and Play in Online Site

When I upload my Flash Video files to the online server, the HTML page opens but the Flash Video doesn't open and play. If I open the HTML page in preview mode in Dreamweaver CS5, the HTML page opens and the Flash Video plays OK. I have tried using the Adobe Media Encoder to produce the FLV file as well as tried exporting the FLV from Adobe Premiere CS 5.5, but neither makes any difference. The Flash Video still doesn't play when files are uploaded to the site online. I have also tried using different versions of Flash Professional to create and publish the SWF movie file, but nothing I try seems to make the Flash Video open and play online. The test site I have set up is http://www.hgatest.org then you can click the “video” link to open the Flash Video. Video HTML page URL is http://www.hgatest.org /video.html   You can then see what I am talking about. Please help. This just started happening about 6 months ago and it has been driving me crazy. Any ideas will be helpful. Thanks, Joe K.

Captivate 7, HTML5 video won't play

Hello forum,
I'm trying to make a Captivate project with video's in it.
I tryed using MP4, FLV and F4V video files but non of them will show up in google chrome.
The project just plays without showing anything, but in flash it works normally.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

If you're talking about video not working in HTML5 output, upload your published content to a web server to test and make sure the web administrator has allowed video files of your specific mimetype. Don't bother trying to test the HTML5 content from your local drive. Always use a web server.

Captivate 5.5 player won't open. Not recognizing Flash

I created a movie in Captivate 5.5, published it and tried clicking on the player file to open and review it. I got this message.
I have Flash 11 installed on my computer.
My files look like this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi there,
You can select the program as Internet Explorer or any browser if you have installed Flash player already. (.swf can be opened in a browser if flash player is installed)
Projectname.htm file is also calling the projectname.swf file, so the .htm file will also work for you.
If you need a stand alone flash player, then you can install Flash player projector from here:

Thanks.

I'm trying to download Captivate 8 using Creative Cloud. I have a partial download of Captivate dmg (part) that won't open or install.

Akamai Netsession hung up at Destination Select, so I downloaded what I thought was Captivate 8 directly, as the download page said to do. I got a creative cloud download page that appeared to be downloading something all night. It still displayed the spinning circle of download this morning so I closed the download page. Now I'm not entirely sure where I am in the process and would appreciate some help.

Adobe Captivate is not currently included with the Creative Cloud. You can find a full list of offerings at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/tools-and-services.html. In addition you can find more information, including purchasing options, for Adobe Captivate 8 athttp://www.adobe.com/products/captivate.html

Videos will not open--adobe flashplayer 11 installed

I have installed adobe flashplayer 11, but cannot open any videos---It is installed & in my programs--help!!

I have basically the same problem, videos won't open(a green screen appears) and the browser crashes. I'm using win7 and opera or windows 10. I tried the release version of the player and the beta version with no difference. Everything was fine until yesterday(25th). I noticed that AdobeAir was updated on the 25th and deleted it but no change.

PS: Google Chrome works. It's not my favorite but if it works....

Using Captivate 5 videos won't load

I am publishing to the Flash format using Captivate 5.5. I've tried publishing with and without the skin, and either way, the videos won't load when I try to open them with a link to the website where they are posted. They do open if I double-click on the htm in a network file folder. I do not have this problem with older Captivate videos I created with Captivate 3. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why they won't open?

I found the answer to why my movie wouldn't play after publising.
Some smart user named nsukumar stated that if you used text animations it causes problems.
Sure enough, when I removed the text animation the finished results worked perfectly!
Thank you nsukumar where ever you are!

Embedded videos in many websites won't open.

I have found that the embedded videos on many but not all websites won't open now when I'm browsing in Firefox. I am running 27.0.1. I have Adobe Flash Player installed so that's not an issue. As some examples of non-openers: Embedded videos in some of the news articles on Yahoo!'s home page; videos on the davidlynchfoundation.org site. I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on, but it didn't change anything. In many cases, their is a big empty space in the text where the video should be, i.e. there isn't any indication that there's a video there. In other cases, I click on the visible start icon, but the screen of the vid just goes to black.
When I switched to Safari, all of these embedded videos opened without a hitch. I'd rather continue with Firefox, but will have to switch to Safari if we can come up with a "fix" for this problem.
I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard. This is a new problem which I haven't experienced with Firefox previously.
BTW: I have only minimal tech skills.
Thanks for any advice/help you can provide.
Dave

Hi Yogidave,
It sounds like the videos are not loading properly. If there are not video controls, but there is a space for the video, this means that the item is loading, but the player is not loading.
In understanding what you tried:
I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on - it looks like this is no longer in the list of add ons that you have in the troubleshooting information, when you took this out, do the videos still leave space in the page where the video should be?
The examples you used: Yahoo homepage and the davidlynchfoundation: I know the latter uses an embedded youtube video with has its own video player that uses flash, as well at Yahoo. (I am not sure if all the videos are flash in Yahoo)
Since this is the case, can you please check your extensions to see if you have Flash installed or if you have it disabled? If so, please turn it on and visit the sites that are giving you issues to see if this resolves the problem.
This article has pretty simple instructions how to install the player if it is not there[[Install the Flash plugin to view videos, animations and games]]
The only other test I can suggest is to see if another type of embedded video does the same thing. For example, if you have netflix or hulu, see if those video players do the same thing.
I hope this helps. (also I tested those pages in beta and it loads just fine, you are not short of watching videos again in firefox)

My mac won't open video clips from my iphone in iphoto since upgrading to snow leopard. Help.

My Mac won't open video clips from my iphone in iphoto in iphoto since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Usually I just used to double click and the video clip would open, now nothing happens. Help please.

Can you access the material via the Finder or Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

Sounds like an activation issue. Quite Premiere Pro. Sign out of Creative Cloud. Restart Premiere Pro. Sign back in: http://bit.ly/CC-sign-out
Hope that works for you.

Safari won't play youtube videos anymore. I've never had trouble in the past. I switched to chrome but then back to safari and changed the default browser to safari. Now safari won't open any sites that require a user and password. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone,
I've recently been getting error messages on youtube videos when using safari. This never used to happen. I tried using chrome but it didn't take care of the problem. When I set my default browser back to safari, safari won't open any websites that require a username and password. Any suggestions?

My case is different from those listed below. First, I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
My problem is this:
I run a Google search, say, "youtube somesong", and from the hit list returned from google I
pick some selection. Youtube launches and plays the video without problems. However, when
i click on any of the alternate videos from the page's vertical list, only the name of the chosen video
appears beneath the video I just watched. The new selection itself is not loaded by Safari.
This occurs for any selection I choose. My way around this problem is to force a Safari reload of
the page by using the keyboard shortcut, Command-R. This fills in the old video window with the
video I just chose. Can I conclude that this is a Safari issue alone, or is it a Safari/Youtube combo gotcha? Anyway, the present condition *****.
This problem began sometime after i upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have reset Safari and have also
deleted the Youtube.com Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage from the Privacy settings under
System Preferences. I have also tested the problem by running Safari in 32 bit mode (no luck there).
If anyone out there has experienced this scenario, I sure could use a little help here.
