Having Trouble viewing YouTube on your older machine?
Hi Apple forums! today I have a tip for all pepople having trouble viewing YouTube on older machines, say you go to YouTube.com, and you start playing a video, but the frame rate is very slow? so what now? do you just abandon your iBook clamshell and leave it on the closet so spiders eat them up? NO, today, finally there is a solution for all to view YouTube without using the flash player, which slows the old machines down, and opening the video out side YouTube, on a bit lower quaily, but still good quality, this works with all versions of Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X, and even Mac OS 8.6, here is how:
Make sure you have the real player installed or any player that will open up 3gp files, Open up Interner Explorer 5 under Mac OS 9, if no Mac OS 9, iCab, OR any browser that will allow you to open the real player. Since we are not using the normal version of YouTube, BUT the Mobile version, you will go to m.Youtube.com, then you can search any video avaliable on the mobile YouTube network, once you are in video`s page, you must Click "Watch Video" and then, Internet Explorer will open up the real player.
And Voila! you have just opened a YouTube video outside YouTube so you can view it nicely, say on a 250Mhz System!
Now, there are some notes, some times the video wont play, and also, not all 100% of the videos on the normal YouTube will be avaliable.
And thats it, thats how you will make your iBook G3 more usable now!
of course, I did this with Mac OS 10.3, so some one has to verify this with a vesrion of Mac OS 9, OR Mac OS 8.5.
I am spreading the word about this tip because I know those people who have those old PowerBook G3s and iBook G3s want to watch YouTube, but cant.
Thanks!
Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.

I'm having trouble viewing PDF forms in a browser
When I go to a business site for a manual and the format is using pdf, after viewing I cannot go back to previous page using the back button or the arrow back. It keeps returning to the pdf manual I was viewing. I have to click the arrow twice or three times to return to back page and sometimes when clicking to many times it return to the beginning page. This has been happening to almost all pdf forms used by businesses or any other websites. Is there something I have tochange in settings?
Hi Snakedog777,
How frustrating! What web browser are you using? Do you run into the same troubles when viewing PDF files on other browsers? And does the problem only exist with PDF forms--or are you having trouble viewing any PDF files?
For starters, please see Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI for information about configuring your browser.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,

Hi. i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari
i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -
Blackberry having trouble playing youtube videos
I own a blackberry curve 8530 and its having trouble playing youtube videos. It plays youtube videos up to 59 seconds and then it stops. It gives me the same error message saying:
"An error has occured attempting to play the media".
I have tried turning on and off my phone, pressing alt+enter+del, and doing the battery pull. None of those methods have worked.
Has anyone had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it? Ive pretty much have tried everything i could think of and none of the forums seems to have a solution.
Is the phone the problem or is youtube?
If you know of the solution, your help will be greatly appreciated.Hello hashbrown602,
The following post by Cory from the Inside BlackBerry Help Blog outlines a few steps you can try to successfully play videos from YouTube.

If you still have issues after going through each of the steps, you may want to contact your wireless service provider to check your data plan settings.
Cheers,

I'm having trouble viewing video's on my macbook.
Greetings all.
I have a macbook and for some reason, I've been having trouble viewing online video's. And it happens with all sites, youtube, dog world, ect.
The video stops and has that circle in the center, then plays a little more, then stops again. I have version 10.6.8. I don't believe it is my internet connection, i can watch video's on my ipad.
Thanks,
Brad Doyle
Fairview Heights, ILTry playing at a lower resolution if that option is available (for example, in youtube the controls are in the lower right of the video window). Some sites, particularly youtube, seem to have problems playing some (not all) videos at 720p and 1080p.

I am having trouble viewing iStore. It appears as if its a Flash issue, as several minutes after logging in to iStore I get a non-flash page of iStore in my iTunes window. I have re-installed everything and tried opening all ports in router, and used msconfig to bring up each service individually to see if there is an effect.Flash and iTunes have been re-installed ...any ideas?
I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/ -

I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad.
I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad. Mi am able to view the file in its entirety on my Mac but not on my ipad. I have tried saving it to acrobat but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions please.
Hi,
When you say the entire content, do you mean some parts of the pdf are not getting displayed or is it going out of the screen?
Please send a pdf you are having issues with on chmaheshatadobedotcom, it will help us investigating the problem.

Is anyone else having trouble viewing the SEC network via Watch ESPN on a 2nd gen Apple TV? Software is up to date, but SEC network not showing up as a channel. Using Xfinity - and it appears on iPhone5 but not on iPad2 - both of which are current on IOS. Help!
the wifi router could also be blocking
and to really test if the windows firewall is the problem then try turning it off!
if that scare you too much then disable the internet modem / cable modem or the likes while you test
always remove more and more factors when troubleshooting sooner or later it will work and you can narrow down which factor did the job and work on that -

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. This makes 1 look and act more like previous versions. Also go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod>Sync your device>Set up syncing>Sync device manually.
