How do I view videos using html5 on iPad 2

Trying to access a news website and it requires html5. Apple website states iPad has it, but the website states I don't have it. Is there something I most do to enable or activate html5?

The video on that site uses Flash not HTML5. From the page source
"The ABC7/WJLA Live Player requires
<a href="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/">Adobe Flash Player</a>"
The error message is telling you the page does not support HTML5 video which your iPad does support.
Sorry Illaass. I meant to respond to the original poster not to you.

How can I play videos using VLC in iPad Mini?

I am unable to play videos in VLC.
Videos are not added to VLC library.
It is asking to sync videos via iTunes.
But i am unable to.
Please let me know how to do that.

To get to street view in Google Maps, you need to either tap on a point of interest or enter an address, once the address is found you can tap on the marker to bring up the option, or just drag the bottom option bar up to reveal the street view button.

Flicker static when viewing videos with HTML5 on Youtube

Hi Apple support community,
I am looking for advice as to how to proceed with the following experience I have had using Safari to view YouTube videos on my MacBook Retina.
As an attempt to save battery energy on my Mac, I have read that viewing YouTube videos on HTML5 vs. the default flash software will reduce the rate the battery is drained significantly. As such, I have been using HTML5 as the default viewing software for videos on YouTube for over two years now. However, a few months ago I started noticing that now when I watch videos there seems to be black and white static flicker (akin to an analog TV) that lasts for about a second and repeats sporadically during viewing. The audio is not affected at all. I have temporarily switched to reloading the replaying the videos via flash to see whether the same effect was observed, however, there seemed to be no issues when doing so.
I have an inkling that it is a software, as opposed to hardware issue, as this issue is not observed generally on the screen as a permanent fixture, nor does it occur when using any other applications, including viewing streamed videos on other websites. It seems to be localised to YouTube videos using HTML5, as the static occurs within the frame of the video playback screen, as opposed to webpage.
I am wondering whether anyone else has experienced or heard of this, and what recommendations are available for amending this issue, as though it is bearable, it is somewhat unpleasant to sit through.
Kind regards

Are these Windows Media (.wmv) files? If so, check out http://www.flip4mac.com/download.htm
That will allow you to play Windows Media files using QuickTime.

How do I view videos that need Adobe Flash Player on my iPad?

How do I view videos that need Adobe Flash Player on my iPad? If this device does not support Adobe Flash?

Skyfire is Not the answer! Bad reviews and you have to pay to try.
I used Puffin Free Browser. Worked perfectly with a 14 day free trial for Flash. It worked well for Flash videos so I would buy the full version.

How do I view videos on a link to Picassa?

Any suggestions on how I can view videos on my iPad using a link to Picassa? I can view pictures but not the videos.
Thanks for any help.

It's possible the videos are in a format that is not compatable with iOS. You might check the app store for Picassa compatible apps, but no guarantee that would solve the issue.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Most of YouTube videos support HTML5, so activate HTML5 > http://www.youtube.com/html5
If after turning on HTML5 you can't watch videos, download Flash > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer Then, close Safari, install Flash and restart the MacBook Pro. Finally, try to watch a video in YouTube

As a video professional, i agree and am VERY disappointed with this policy. I attended CC presentations at various conventions, film festivals and meetups for a year-and-a-half before I made the leap to CC, and no one EVER mentioned a restriction to transferring video files.
Whether it's to save storage space or not, that's how it APPEARS to the end user. Anybody who knows ANYthing about how video pirates commit their crime (which it most-certainly is), knows that there are plenty of FREE, untraceable (or nearly-anonymous) resources to carry it out. The need for anyone to pay $30 or more per-month to do it with an acct that has their info attached to it is ludicrous! If anything it's CONTRIBUTING to piracy to encourage creatives to transfer their material to collaborative parties using a less-secure, more heavily-trafficked third-party service than the one they're paying for exclusive use for.
Adobe's policy makers need to review this restriction and remove it or provide ANOTHER reason why it exists because this one doesn't fly. And if it continues, make sure a disclaimer gets inserted in CC pitch presentations because likely half of the attendees are working with video.

How do I transfer video files from my iPad Air to a separate device or storage device so that I free up memory on my iPad

You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device. By the way, once the videos are on Dropbox you can share them with others.

DiskAid needn't cost anything depending on what you want to do - I've been using it for months without being hindered by using the free version. You do need the up to date version for use on Mountain Lion though...

How do I retrieve videos made on my iPad that I accidentally deleted by removing them from from my photo stream?

How do I retrieve videos made on my iPad that I accidentally deleted by removing them from from my photo stream?

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not synced. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched with the iTunes sync process. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer which is not handled by iTunes. Most importing software includes an option to delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If is my understanding that some Windows import software supports importing photos from the Camera Roll, but not videos. Regardless, the import software should not delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll unless you set the app to do so.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes before the videos on the Camera Roll went missing and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since they went missing, you can try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup. Don't sync the iPhone with iTunes again and decline the prompt to update the iPhone's backup after selecting Restore.

How do I view movies using apple tv that have been imported into iMovie?

I am trying to view movies using a second generation AppleTV that I imported into my computer from my video camera using iMovie. I tried importing them into iTunes after importing them with iMovie but it creates a second copy of the movie and I don't have room on my hard drive. Can I view them on my Apple TV without importing them into iTunes?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iMovie is an editing application, you import raw footage, edit it, export it and if you don't have a lot of room trash the original files. It is not intended to be used for finished movies.
Video footage for editing needs to be in a different format than it does for delivery, delivery formats (m4v etc) are highly compressed and take up considerabally less room than footage in an editing format.
