Flash videos only play for about 2-5 seconds

Ever since I've had to restore my whole computer, (due to sound and airport card problems which are still unresolved) any flash video such as youtube videos or any others will only play for 5 seconds (yes I still care about videos playing even though my sound is gone) and i've re-downloaded the flash player from adobe and now downloaded again the safari 3 beta, and it still won't work. Same thing on Firefox. Any ideas?

It's probably the new 'taste filter' trying to keep you from emberrasing yourself in public. Try playing them when you're alone. If it detects no one else is in the room, it may allow you to view them.
Seriously... Do they play in iTunes on your computer? If they're in your iTunes library, un-sync them from the phone, then sync them back.

Thanks in advance

Videos only play for a few seconds or buffer very slowly since 11.9.900.170 update

I updated my flash player this morning to 11.9.900.170.
SInce i have updated my videos either only play for about 25 sec then stop. These are like 5 minute videos. It seems like they just stop buffering.
On youtube the videos that used to buffer very quickly a few days ago on the highest quality can now barely play on low settings.
I have tried to watch on mozilla and chrome. (both current versions)
I have tried:
- uninstalling and doing a clean install
-installing Flash Player 11.7.700.257, 11.9.900.152, and 11.7.700.252 (currently have 11.9.900.170 installed, issue occured under each version)
-the memory storage is set to 10mb
-uninstalled and reinstalled mozilla firefox
I have windows 7 64-bit
thanks ahead of time.

Videos only play for 5 seconds

I'm having problems adding some videos to play on the iPhone. I've converted the videos to Quicktime, and got them to load on iTunes. They play perfectly there. I synch them to the iPhone, and they appear on the phone, but when they play on the iPhone, they only play for about 5 seconds.
I've previously added a video that works fine... I don't see what I'm doing differently with the new set of videos.
Ideas?

No. The videos will play for their entire length. Try trimming the video in iPhoto by playing it and use the gear icon to bring up the Trip feature:
You'll get this window where you can select the portion of the video to use:
When you're done you can "revert to original" like this:
That may give you what you need for the slideshow.

TS1424 i downloaded a song and it shows the time length all to be correct but while playing the song will only play for about 30 seconds then skip to the next song in my list (all lists) - in short i payed for a song that is only of a preview quality

Either this needs to get fixed or i will request my money back because i will not work for my money while other lie about what i spend it on.

Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Hitting the space bar the track would only play for about one second. Then it stops.

I'm new to Soundbooth and have already a serious problem. Hitting the space bar the track would only play for about one second. Then it stops. I don't know what to do. I have the Production Suite CS5. All other applications run well.

i have the exact problem in my computer lab running macpro on 10.6.8 using CS5... this is happening in every ADOBE CS5 software using sound : soundbooth, AEX, premier pro. this is totaly ridiculous, nothing like that is happening in the other software (finalcut, finalcut xpress, audacity, soundtrack pro all are working fine) ...
i find the lack of help & replies very weird in this forum...

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Video only plays for a few seconds, no sound, ALL BROWSERS

I have having that notorious problem that seems to originate from sometime in 2008. I found no recent reference to it, but that's irrelevant.
I have no sound in youtube/megavideo/any flash, and the video will only play for 2-3 seconds. This is the same for IE, and Opera.
Uninstalling via Adobes uninstallation tool and then reinstalling has not fixed this issue. I do not have Realplayer on this system, that I am aware. I am outof ideas. I am using Windows XP SP3, if any other information is relevant I'll post it.

Hi, well it sounds like something is certainly conflicting but exactly what can't be determined at this point. Confirming that you have the correct Flash Player files Installed would be the first thing to check. Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Open Flash and post back all files listed. NPSWF file(s) will need a right click and then click on Properties to obtain the version number(s).
Using IE, check in all add ons for Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control..Flash10h.ocx. It should be listed that way and Enabled. It may include the vs # 10.1.53.64.
Using FF, check for the SWF vs 10.1.53.64 plug-in and it should be listed that way and Enabled.
Thanks,

Video only plays for a few seconds, then freezes

The video, which I got from the apple website, plays fine in iTunes but once I upload it to the iPod it will only play for a few seconds before freezing and becoming nonresponsive. Is this a software problem? Anyone know of a solution? Thanks.

Or you can follow these instructions.... (adopted from btabz)
Here are more detailed instructions on how to go back to 1.0, espescially if you bought your iPod in the last couple of months and it came with 1.1.
First, please download the older version of the iPod Updater here...
http://appldnld.m7z.net/content.info.apple.com/iPod/ww/win/061-2225.20051128.PDW nw/iPodSetup.exe
Now install that updater and restart your computer.
Now open the iPod updater (Start-->all programs-->iPod and find the iPod updater you just installed
Open the iPod Updater and connect your iPod. With that older version of the iPod updater you just installed, restore your iPod by clicking restore.
The iPod will restore and go back to software version 1.0. Now reload everything back into iTunes.
If you don't want to restore, see this...

Youtube videos only play for two seconds before displaying an error message since updating to FF28.

Since updating to Firefox 28, videos on Youtube will display a spinning wheel for some time, only play one or two seconds of the video, and then go to a Youtube ‘an error has occurred’ screen. At this point, Flash will crash, hanging Firefox for a minute or so. This occurs whether I am using the HTML5 player or the default player. The same videos worked fine previously in Firefox 27, and still work fine over the same wifi connection on Chrome for Android. A similar issue had occurred under Firefox 27, but only if the video was embedded in another site. Vimeo and Facebook Video still work fine: the problem seems to be specific to Youtube. Everything else on the Youtube site itself works; it's only videos that are malfunctioning.
I am running the latest Firefox and Flash updates on Windows 7 64-bit, with Tree Style Tab, Download Statusbar, Adblock Plus, Foxyscrobbler, NetUsageItem, and Pocket. The issue still occurs with all add-ons disabled in safemode, and with just Adblock disabled (my first thought was that perhaps Google had changed ad delivery in a way that caused ABP to break videos, but this doesn't appear to be so).
Does anyone have any ideas as to what's gone wrong? :)

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I tried turning hardware acceleration off as was suggested elsewhere on the support forum, but this didn't help either.

Flash videos only play in a quarter of the screen

This problem has been going on with my MacBook Pro for months... on some sites, Flash videos in fullscreen mode only take up a quarter of the screen, with the rest black. This happens on every browser, and persists regardless of the number of times I've cleared the browser cache, history, etc. Anyone have a fix?

Usually at the bottom toolbar of the video window, there is a Full Screen button. Is it missing?
1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
     Press the "Delete All" button.
     Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
   Download it first.
   The next step is important.
   Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
    Follow the prompts and install it.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Safari > Preferences > Privacy
    Press the button “ Remove All Website Data”.
3. Turn off Extensions, if any.
     Safari > Preferences > Extensions
     Relaunch Safari.

if your internet connection is not fast enough then it have to buffer more of the video once in awhile in order to play it
same deal if googles youtube servers are under heavy load

Flash videos only play for about 2-5 seconds
