How do I get facebook videos to work?

Facebook videos on the main feed show a still image and a loading sign but never play and when I click on them I get a black screen and a loading sign. However, the video never plays.
This previous question states exactly what I'm talking about (with pictures) but unfortunately, they never received a solution...

If anyone one has had a similar problem or knows how to fix it, please, please tell me?
Thanks!

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

How do I get ym video to work with Lion? The video button is greyed out.

I thought this was supposed to be an automatic thing but I can't seem to get the video portion of ym to work with ichat. Any suggestions are appreciated. I am using Lion.

I kind of have the opposite problem. I need to know how to turn off my remote on the computer. I am using the remote for my Apple TV and it keeps making the volume on my Computer go up and down (with annoying sounds).
There used to be a way to un-sync the remote with the comp but I cannot remember how and the Apple help is not much help! I have Lion.
Thanks!
Best,

How can i get incoming video to work during a video conference?

Until recently, i have been able to chat with people over video chat very easily, without any problems at all. Not too long ago, i have been experiencing some odd occurrences. When i invite or am invited to a video chat, it will just come up with the video coming from my camera. I can hear audio coming from the other person but no video of them. I have tried this with 3 people who have the same computer as me and it does the same thing every time. They say that they can see and hear me, but i cannot see them. It is almost as if i am in a one-way video chat, however i am not.
Anyone that has a solution to this please donate your ideas!!

Hi Waxexm311,
The Video Pic failing to display is either something to do with the Processing of the Video or getting the video through iChat.
As I have already posted the first point is the .plist may be corrupt hence deleting it hand restarting iChat.
It may be to do with the Internet speed as seen by iChat which reads the Quicktime Setting - hence setting it to 1.5Mbps and restarting iChat again.
After that it can be the Cache and Log files and running the Cron scripts usually sorts this.
Does this happen with all Buddies ?
Use Table 1 for the Apple test accounts that Auto answer
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/ContactTesters.html
If they work try people in table 2
If that does not work Quit iChat
Paste the Bold text below into Terminal
/Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7
This will force iChat to start and create a log as it does so.
As iChat launches for you normally try a Video chat.
Not where that process starts in the Log and then post the Start up bit and then the continuance as two separate parts.
(Or at least mark the log when you post it here.)
There may be something wrong with the App in which case a Reinstall may be in order.
Please Note the last paragraph that says to run the Combo Installer afterwards of the latest OS (Or at least the level you are at to bring iChat up to the level of the OS).
Running the Combo Installer can sort things like this out on it's own. So that is worth trying even before the Reinstall.
Finally it may be Quicktime itself.
Reinstalling this is just a question of running the Download

How do i get my video to work in slow motion or sped up?

I'm trying to use iMovie on my iPad to play/post movies online (i.e. FB, YouTube). So how do I speed up my videos or slow them down (editing) prior to posting? I've researched with iMovie for said information but have been unsuccessful in finding any resolutions...Any advice would be most appreciated!

How can I get flash video to work on ipad2 ?

I have ipad2 on order - then realised does not support flash. All our training videos are flash !!! Do I cancel order or can I get flash to run on ipad2

Flash is not supported on the iPad. There are some apps that take a flash video on a web page, send it to a server which converts it to a format suitable for the iPad, but these are somewhat iffy.

How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I updated

You may be able to download and install the update from here: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
If I upgrade to Yosemite will I be forced to go to the new Photos program
No. After upgrading (and of course make a back up first) you will need to update iPhoto to v9.6.1 (you won't be able to do this prior to upgrading). Here's how:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Photos is v1 of a new app, as yes it's not as mature as iPhoto. It uses a different technology for working with external editors. That requires Adobe to write an extension to let it hook into the new app. Not done yet, neither has anyone else.
Going forward: iPhoto will run on OS 10.10., but there is no guarantee for subsequent versions of the OS. You might want to factor that into your anger term thinking.

How can i get my speakers to work when i take any kind of video?

Yes definitely make sure you're not covering the mic, its at the bottom of the phone on the left next to the 30 pin, but if thats not the problem and you're still under warranty then definitely take it back to apple because it's probably a hardware issue and theyll gladly replace or fix it for you.

How do you get the video out to TV to work on the iPhone 3GS

I cannot get the video out to TV to work on my iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.1.1.
I am using the $40.00 apple composite AV cables and nothing seems to work. With the cables connected to tv input nothing shows up in general settings for video out. Or anywhere else for that matter. I have tried many different TV's, sometimes I get audio but never never ever video . Does anyone else have this problem or better yet the answer?

Thanks for responding to my question about not being able to get the video out to work on my iphone 3GS. In answer to your question i couldnt get any video to work at all. But, i do know what was wrong now. The whole problem was the brand new $40.00 set of apple composite AV cables i just bought was no good. This afternoon i took a trip to the nearest apple retail outlet (30 miles away) with phone and cables in hand. And after doing a little head scratching of their own they decided to try another set of cables, and low and behold the darn thing worked like a charm.I was very impressed by the service at the apple store even though i didnt buy either product from them. I wonder if there is a bad batch of cables floating around out there because it looks like other people out there are having the same problem, which is why i didnt really suspect the cables. Thanks again for responding. Micdude001

How do I get my audio to work again on my iPad?

How do I get my audio to work again when I play video links on my iPad 2? Think the problem might have started when I did the update to IOS 7.1. I click on a video link when I'm in an app like Facebook. The video plays, but no audio. I used to be able to open the link in Safari and the be able to hear the audio. But now that doesn't work either. Apple support helped with a similar problem in10/3013. They made me back up my iPad to ITunes through my laptop and think they wiped my iPad and re-loaded the software. Is there any other fix?

I just saw an answer that "Demo" posted 9/30/2012. Said to re-boot the iPad system by holding Down to the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the apple logo screen popped up. It worked. I I've got audio again on my video links!
