Gallery movie won't play properly on new Macbook Air

I uploaded a movie last night, but when I try to play it on my new Macbook Air, using Safari, it only loaded 1/4 the way and won't play any further. But it plays fine on my Windows computer. Every time I try to go back and play it, it gets stuck in the same place. It won't load any further, and I can't get it to reload from the beginning (where the loading progress bar starts at the very beginning). Google Chrome won't play it at all. I'm assuming this is a quicktime problem. I haven't done the last Mac OS update yet (I'm at work, my Macbook's at home). Any guesses on what I need to do? Just update the OS? And if I reinstall Quicktime, how do I do that?

Any guesses on what I need to do?
I would not want to hazard a guess until I can check the instantaneous data rate at the time of the problem. Got the URL and a time where the file stops?

  • QTVR Movies won't play properly in iWeb

    QuickTime VR panoramic movies won't play properly. Doesn't seem to matter what kind of iWeb page I use. The movies respond normally when opened with QuickTime Player. The seem to fail only when placed into iWeb.
    First, there are no VR controls visible. What controls there are don't respond when clicked. Second, the mouse curson doesn't change when moved over the movie placeholder. Third, the only image within the movie placeholder is the first frame.
    I tried several QTVR panorama movies with the same result. I also verified that none of the available movie controllers will function. I have already searched on QTVR in this forum and found none of the few suggestions offered to work.
    Any new ideas?

    We've recieved your file and got it to work in iWeb. Here's what to do:
    As always, place a text box in iWeb the size of the dimentions of your QTVR movie. Put some text in the box something like "QTVRMOVIECODEHERE"
    After Publishing your site locate your "QTVRMOVIECODEHERE" text and replace it with
    <embed src="http://URLWhereYourFileis.mov" width="320" height="240"></embed>
    Another way you can do it is store the QTVR file on your host. If you are using .mac you can store it in your sites folder or Web folder. From the sites folder the URL for your file would be homepage.mac.com/YourUserName/YourFolder(if any)/YourQTVRMovieName.mov
    Then place a hyperlink to your files URL in your iWeb page.
    Here is the working QTVR file in an iWeb page:
    http://iWebFAQ.com/QTVR/IniWeb
    Or if you'd like you can you can hyperlink to http://iWebFAQ.com/QTVR/twofish.mov

  • I have Office:mac 2004 and it won't download on my new MacBook Air.  Is it too old?  It says PowerPC applications are no longer accepted.

    I have old Office:Mac 2004 Student and Teacher Edition from my previous MacBook and it won't download onto my new MacBook Air via external optical drive and says that PowerPC applications are no longer supported.  Am I stuck bying the newer version or is there a way around the software issue so I don't have to spend more money.  Thanks for your help. 
    Kevin

    You can purchase Offce 2011 from MacMall for about $99 so it is well worth the money.  As said in a previous post by Kappy, you can try one of the free office suites available.  They can read Office files and can save documents in Office format.  Apple's iWork is also a good ffice suite afavilable from the App Store by download. I have used Open Office,Libre Office and Neo Office and have liked each one of them.  Neo Office has the closest match to Apple operating systems - it just feels like an Apple program.  Open Office and Libre Office are also very good choices and dont have much of a learning curve at all.

  • Why won't YouTube play on my new Macbook Air?

    I recently just purchased a brand new Macbook Air for work. 4th Gen. It's awesome. However, I also recently discovered that almost no videos will play from YouTube. I'm using Safari. After finding this out, I went through all the troubleshooting steps. I reinstalled my Flash Player. I tried it from a different browser. I opted out of the HTML 5 trial on YouTube. I changed my firewall settings. I did a software update. Downloaded java. I emptied the cache. And still...nothing. Sometimes the advertisements will play through but then when it gets to the content, the message "An error occurred, please try again later." I can't even tell you how annoying this is after so many page refreshes. I figure it has to be something wrong in the Mac itself, but I can't figure it out. Please...someone help!

    1.  Enable Plug-ins
        Safari > Preferences > Security
        Internet Plug-ins >  "Allow all other plug-ins
    2. Reset Safari.
        Click Safari in the menu bar.
        From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
        Uncheck the boxes next to all items.
        Check the box next to "Remove all website data".
        Click "Reset".
    3. Turn off Extensions, if any that may interfere with Flash working properly.
        Safari > Preferences > Extensions
         Now try YouTube.
    Best.

  • My iPhone 4 won't connect with my new Macbook Air?

    Got a Macbook Air yesterday, and I've always connected my iPhone with a Windows computer. I tried to connect the iPhone to the laptop (via USB) and it kept connecting and unconnecting. It would continuously vibrate and the battery would show charging/not charging over and over again.
    I could connect my iPhone with my cable onto my PC, so I don't think it's the cable. I also was able to use a USB drive on the laptop, so I don't think it's the USB port either. Do you have any suggestions? All ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

    Sound like something is making an intermittent connection. Even though you have used the cable successfully in the past, it might have some new damage or old damage that only causes a problem in certain positions. The cable is also the easiest and cheapest to replace; maybe you could even borrow one long enough to test.
    If you bought the MBA new from a brick and mortar Apple Store, take it back for diagnosis.

  • How do I move photos from ibook g4 to new macbook air?

    The file number moves to the stick but shows no contents

    Hello,
    Try going to system prefrences and then share on the iBook. Select share folders and files.
    Using your MacBook Air, go to network from utilities on the top menu and then network.
    With your iBook G4 powered on, connect to the iBook which should now appear under network (Make sure they are connected to the same network or wireless)
    Connect as your iBook user name and password, navigate to the desired folders or files and copy the content to a location on your MacBook Air.
    Best of luck

  • The video Getting Started With Firefox won't play on my new MacBook Pro; how to make it play?

    I went from Firefox Bookmarks to the introduction to Firefox, I could read the information but could not play the video

    Once you get the domain file from your old Mac onto your new Mac asx AnsonS describen read this:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • ITunes Error: Cannot play bought iTunes movie from one day to the other "The selected movie won't play on your display."

    Hi,
    just a few weeks ago I watched on my new iMac 5k Retina a long-ago-downloaded movie (iTunes content, HD, Billy Joel. Live at Shea Stadium). I had no issues watching it on the new wonderful display just a few weeks ago!
    Today I wanted to resume the video and got the error "The selected movie won’t play on your display. This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).".
    Actually the movie plays for a few seconds and then the movie window gets black and the error message appears. Restarting iTunes does not help. Restarting the Mac also not.
    How can this be fixed?
    Additionally I get since I moved from my old iMac to the new one the iTunes error "Do you want the application “iTunes.app” to accept incoming network connections?" every time I start iTunes.

  • After automatically updated to Firefox 3.6.15 videos won't play properly

    Recently when firefox was automatically updated to 3.6.15 suddenly videos won't play properly anymore. Vidxden videos used to play really well but now they don't load properly or not at all. All the other videos take forever to load and don't seem to be compatible anymore. I usually go to the same video sites and those don't work like they used to. I've noticed as well that hotmail is really slow and many pages won't load at all including windows live web site. It doesn't appear that 3.6.15 is very compatible with video play or msn sites.

    Since automatic update to 3.6.15, I am unable to play videos on abc.com, and even on my News Feed page in Facebook. The error message says the video is being blocked by an ad blocker in my browser. I have not changed my security settings, nor have I updated any other software recently.
    By the way, I did check the same videos (at abc.com and on Facebook) with Internet Explorer (same computer) and they played just fine.

  • IDVD autoplay movie won't play in DVD player

    My IDVD movie won't play in a DVD player when created in autoplay mode. It plays fine on my computer both in preview and on my computer's DVD player program and it works fine if I create a menu and button, just not if I create it in autoplay mode. I've tried it on my work compter and three DVD players and it won't play in any of them. Can anyone help, please?

    Hi Sue
    Thanks for responding.
    I used a 16x Maxwell DVD-R. The same kind of disc worked fine with the movie when I had a menu.
    I'm afraid I don't know what a Patchburn is.

    Hi JosefK:
    Welcome to discussions.
    Did you use a Data DVD by chance?
    It needs to be a DVD-R with iMovie 4.
    Are you using an external with Patchburn?

  • Selected movie won't play SOLVED

    I had this problem trying to play a rented movie. Got the message The selected movie won't play on one of your connected displays. My problem was with a software which is made by INFOCUS for their projector. I removed it and now the movie plays even on the projector and without the software. I have seen that solution in this forum elsewhere.

    Hello guys,
    Please note that to be able to play your purchased HD movies or videos, let us not forget some minor details. Ensure that your iTunes software is up-to-date. HD videos will only play if you have iTunes 10.6 or later as described in this article:
    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    You might also want to check this one:
    iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
    I hope this helps a lot! Good luck!
