Flash videos won't load in any browser

Downloaded and installed fp 13.0.0.214
Win8 - 64 bit quad core
Videos won't play in ANY browser.
Youtube videos work fine.
Any ideas anyone?

First, check that Windows Media Player is set as the correct plug in - in Safari, go to help/installed plug ins. There should be a section marked 'Windows Media Player' showing 'application/x-mplayer2' and listing wmv files (amongst others).
Sometimes these arrors are caused by DNS failures. Ensure your system is fully up to date, and enter your ISP's DNS server IP addresses (usually two of them, sometimes three) in the 'DNS servers' box on the TCP page of the Network preference pane.
The DNS server IPs are usually supplied with the ISP's initial set up documentation, or located on the ISP's help page.
The reason it could be a problem is that in many iterations of MacOS X, the system is extremely sensitive to how quickly a DNS search responds. DNS is the process whereby a user-provided URL is converted into the correct IP address for internet lookup, so if the video source is held on a different server and the DNS process doesn't return a valid IP address in time, you would then get an error of the sort you describe.

  • Macbook Pro Flash videos will not load on any browser?

    On my macbook pro all of a sudden all flash based videos such as youtube will not load and freeze before they are loaded. IT does not work on safari, chrome, or firefox. have uninstalled and reinstalled flash. Used Disk utility. Empted cache. Any idea what is wrong? This problem just started this week. Internet connection is good.

    Uninstall Flash
    Download OnyX and run all the checks, maintaince and cleaning aspects and reboot at the end.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Reinstall Flash

    If that doesn't work, create a new user, log into it and see if your issues continue.

  • Certain web sites won't load on any browser on Macbook Pro

    Starting yesterday certain web sites won't load on any browser (Safari or Chrome). These include sites like the New England Journal of Medicine, Washington Post, and English Bulldog News. I get an error message in Safari that the server took too long to respond and in Chrome I get a connection timeout error message. I updated Adobe Flash with a clean install as I was unable to update using the standard method due to connection timeout. That restored my access to YouTube video but today it takes ~2 minutes to load a YT video. Web sites are loading fine on my phone and household PCs.
    Not sure if it is notable that my internet loading capacity has been very slow for some time. I worked with the internet company to increase the network speed but my computer has not seen benefit. No problems on the PCs in our house but my Macbook very frequently gets partially "kicked-off" the network as indicated by yellow lights seen next to the "internet" and "server" items in my Network Diagnostics utility.
    I looked at old threads and ran EtreCheck (see results copied below) as was recommended to another user several months ago, but would appreciate any thoughts about where to go from here. Could it be malware? Or just a classic case of operator error? Here are the EtreCheck "red" items extracted from the full report below:

  • Videos won't play in any browser

    Just recently, videos won't play in any browser...Safari, Firefox. etc. It seems to happen with .wmv files. I reinstalled media player, but still have the problem.
    I get this message.
    "Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again"

    First, check that Windows Media Player is set as the correct plug in - in Safari, go to help/installed plug ins. There should be a section marked 'Windows Media Player' showing 'application/x-mplayer2' and listing wmv files (amongst others).

  • Embedded videos won't play on any browser (youtube will, though)

    Hi all, I'm at my wits end.  I have a fairly new computer running Windows 7 64 bit OS.   The problem is with non-Youtube embedded videos.  Flash has been playing them only on IE up until today, now it won't work in any browser (including Chrome).  (Youtube seems to work fine, embedded or not)  As an example, when looking at Facebook, any embedded Youtube video plays just fine, but all other videos only give me the black rectangle of doom.  I've just spent three hours following all the instructions here:  I've uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted the registry key in these instructions.   I've disabled ad blocking and turned off my only antivirus program (Microsoft Security Essentials).  I've tried downloading Flash Player using every browser and both 32 and 64 bit versions of the browsers.  Nothing makes the embedded videos play.  The Flash version I have is 11.6.602.171 and the little movie with the ball going by the screen shows fine, and the correct OS is showing.  I'm baffled and out of ideas.  Thanks for any help!

    There must be some other people who have encountered this same problem.

  • One web page won't load in any browser

    I have one site that all of a sudden, won't load in any stand-alone browser (have tried Firefox, Camino, Safari, Opera). I get a time-out error. The will load, however, if I use the AOL browser or a cloaking site. I checked with my ISP which says it doesn't block any site. In fact, the rep said he had no problem going directly to the site. I have turned off firewall, shut down and restarted AirPort and DSL modem, reloaded software to AirPort, all to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this or how to fix it?

    That site works fine for me.
    You need Flash to use their facility.
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first.

  • Captivate 5 Movie won't load in any browser

    Suddenly my Captivate version 5 movies will not load in any Browser.
    I have 4 files
    the html file, the swf file, the swf skin file, and file called standard
    The .swf file will open in Flash but when I open the html file it will not open the movie. I don't know what has happened but it used to work.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Leona

    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!

  • Facebook won't load on any browser

    I've seen a lot of people posting since 2009 that they've had this issue but I've yet to see an answer that's worked for me.  Facebook won't load on ANY of the browsers so cookies and cache won't help. When I log out of the Mac and log back in I can get into Facebook for a while so it's not a configuration issue.  I CAN log into facebook through IE on the parallels section.  This started about three months ago for me.

    Did you look at any of the "More Like This" on the right side of the screen? I don't know if they hold the answers for you, but some may be worth taking a peek.
    The usual answer seems to be 'clear your cache' but, as you've done that, it doesn't seem the answer to your problem. When you say 'all browsers' I assume that you mean Firefox, Chrome and Safari? I run Firefox almost exclusively, only using Safari and Chrome for testing purposes and I've tried all three and can't replicate your problem. I don't think that uninstalling Adobe Flash is the answer (and, as it is ubiquitous, it's really a necessary evil).
    Try an app such as Onyx to make sure that everything is actually cleared. If that doesn't help, ring back.
    BTW - is this occurring only when you try to log in to Facebook?

  • Flash video won't load

    When I try to play a slide containing a flash video the following error message appears: "The flash video cannot be loaded. The output may not be proper." The file is a flash file that was converted in AME. What might be preventing this video from loading?

    I had this happen once and even though the
    property panel looked correct, I deleted
    the video from the slide and added it back in.
    I was able to then play the video.

  • Flash Player won't work on any browser! Help!

    Hi!
    I can't get any videos to play in any browser (Internet explorer, Chrome or Firefox). I can only play videos from Youtube and Netflix but no other videos or rich media content works.
    I have literally tried everything that is recommended on the Flash Player Help page.
    I've updated and re-installed Flash Player a million times.
    I've updated and re-installed all my web browsers.
    I enabled and disabled Active-X.
    I enabled Flash Player on Chrome through chrome://plugins
    I disabled background apps.
    I turned off my firewall.
    I checked for viruses.
    And I googled the problem on a ton of other sites, followed other users' instructions to fix the issue, and still no luck.
    This is my system:
    Windows 8
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3317U CPU @ 1.7GHz 1.70GHz
    64-bit Operating System x64 based processor.
    I need Flash Player to do assignments online and I haven't been able to do them all week. Please help ASAP!
    Thank you!

    As above, have gone through a number of browsers and tried all of the fixes listed on any webpage I can find. Always the same outcome, video plays for a few minutes (occasionally seconds) and then green screen/jumbled audio
    Have tried Chrome, IE, Firefox and Opera, all with the same results.
    Laptop is brand spanking new, out of the box less than two days, so far I've only installed the latest Nvidia drivers 347.09 and Avast.

  • Embedded video won't play in any browser

    I have had a problem for a long time of videos on certain websites not playing on my MacBook Pro. I have the latest Lion OS update as well as the latest Flash update. I never have a problem with Youtube and most video plays fine but some websites, like for instance, news sites will not respond. I get a black screen with no controls or anythiing. Now I am having this problem with a site called MailChimp. I use FIrefox but it will not play in either Safari or Chrome. There must be some other people who have encountered this same problem. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

  • Streaming video won't load on two Thinkpads

    Problem: Streaming video from two websites won't load on my T60 or X60; of the 5 computers I use daily, only my two TPads are affected. Having tried to troubleshoot this at several levels - I'm wondering whether there is something about ThinkPad proprietary software that could be the cause?
    The two sites in question are Flash based: the New York Times,  and bloggingheadstv.com/diavlogs/. Flashplayer 10 is installed properly on both machines (and has been uninstalled / reinstalled in attempt to solve the problem).
    OS: Windows XP, SP2. Browser: Firefox, latest build (video won't load on IE6 or Safari either on these machines);
    Internet Security Suite: Eset NOD32 (turning off firewall temporarily makes no difference);
    Relevant add-ons: NoScript, Adblock. (Disabling them temporarily makes no difference).
    Troubleshooting thus far: working with NoScript board on Mozilla, and the bloggingheads people at their site - no results.

    I have almost same problem in which I posted a thread about, and didn't get any answers. My videos show up in my library but won't transfer to my iPod. I get an error message saying: The iPod "Owner's Name iPod" cannot be updated. The required folder cannot be found. Also another one about the disc cannot be read from or written to. I only have 3 videos so I'm not too concerned because I can do without them but it's still a hassle. I am going to keep iTunes 7 and iPod 1.2 for now because that seems to be my only problem at the moment, instead of reverting back to previous versions.
