How to get streaming videos to work

So I was on myspace and they have that thing where you gotta download an update like shockwave or something to play videos so I downloaded the flash player from the site and now none of the streaming videos work at all. I tried like YouTube and stuff and nothing works, I get that question mark over the like quicktime logo, anybody know how to fix this or a program that'll work?

Flip4Mac has been released as a Universal Binary today, it means Quicktime will now play .wmv and Safari youtube etc.

Question--How to get streaming video?

I have a MBP with 10.6.8., 1.66 intel, 4 GB/ 1067 Mhz DDR3 memory. We have wireless and I have been informed that we don't use a fraction of our capacity. Nevertheless I dan't get streaming video. I get the audio and the video has to catch up. I use Airport. I have ignored thisproblem until now as I seldom bother with Youtube, etc. but now I would like to watch work-related video. Any ideas? I am a perpetual novice.

well if wireless appletv
if cable is no problem then you can just use the digital AV out connetor for the ios devices

How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop?

How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop? I want to be able to stream a video to my tv while browsing the internet or working on writing on my laptop. Thanks

You would have to use airplay within iTunes then, unless you want to use 3rd party software (ie Beamer)

Getting your router started with iChat.
Appropriate for using iChatAV 2 upwards. Edits have been made for iChat 4
Glossary for this FAQ
Routers: Any configurable device that sits between your computer and the internet link you have. This includes Modems that Route as well as "routers"
Routers seem to fall into two categories
Those that work straight from the box. See Apple Article HT1787
NOTE :This Article has not been updated in content since Jan 04 Only being changed to an Article from the Previous Doc listing
Even then some list that they need tweaks.
and those that do not.
This post will deal with what you may need to look at.
First off make sure your device is acting as a DHCP server. (if you are already on the internet you may not have to bother with this.)
Check in the Tiger System Preferences > Network Preference Pane, in the "Built in Ethernet" option from the "Show" drop down list.
In Leopard the Networks are listed on the left with icons. The Airport Option will need you to access the Advance Button for the Next bit.
Make sure the TCP/IP tab is the 'front' one. You should be able to see Configure IPv4 and it most likely reads Using DCHP. Make a note of your IP address. It will start 10.xxx.xxx.xxx or 192.168.xxx.xxx (the 'x' s will stand for any number between 1 and 255). The range 172.16.xxx.xxx is also a possible value at this point. Rarely used, but it is part of the RFC for Address Allocation for Private Internets.
Your router is most likely to be configurable from your browser. You will need to find the IP address to type into the browser from any Readme or PDF files that came on the install disk or visit the makers website and download a manual.
The Port Forward.com site lists many devices and clicking on one will take you to a list of Applications. This iChat will open an page that will start by telling you the defaults to access the device
Opening or Allowing ports. Several Methods not all devices have all of them.
DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
This is a less secure setting that basically opens all ports and points the incoming data to your computer. (not helpful if you have more than one computer on your LAN). It can be considered as an extreme form of Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding (also Virtual Server or Pin Holes)
These settings are usually found in an Advanced setting.
You may need to set an incoming IP address (Usually 0.0.0.0 to any outside server), a port that data will arrive on, the Inside computer's IP address (your computer) and the port it will deal with the data on and the protocol it will use.
See this pic for an example of the description above.
In this example shows that on some Port AND Protocols need to be listed.
iChat uses TCP and UDP so some devices will need the ports listed one by one and some settings done twice, once for each protocol. The example above has a "Both" setting
See Apple Article HT1507 Previously Doc 93208 for more information. This is the Tiger iChat 3 list. The same ports are needed for Leopard except for these changes
My Note 2:
On the first link Note 1 under tables in that link would be better if it read:
" 1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP -
except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP as well;
and 5220, 5222, which need to be open for TCP only. "
Note 2
GoggleTalk needs port 5223 on TCP. Also note the Server name for iChat 3 set ups
UPnP Universal Plug n Play.
This is a simple Plug and Play type of setting. iChat can find it's own way through a router if the device has this capability.
By Not doing Port Forwarding, Triggering or DMZ and enabling UPnP the application is allowed to control the modem and the ports that are open.
They close after the application has finished with them on a timed basis.
On some devices the number of "hops" (how far away the UPnP can be "seen") can be reduced from a default of 4)
Trigger Ports
Some devices offer a security measure that works by a first or trigger port receiving a data packet and then opening further ports when accepted.
The first port for incoming Video or Audio invites is port 5678.
Pre iChat 4
When you click on the invite window the process moves in to port 5060 (so these will need to be opened by the trigger port) for negotiating the final group of ports from the group of 20 (16384-16403 These will need to open when the trigger says so as well). Therefore port 5678 triggers ports 5678, 5060, 16384-16403. All on UDP. Port 5190 neeeds to trigger port 5190 for both TCP and UDP.
See this variation where only the ports listed above are completed.
The other single ports need to be set one by one in addition. (5220,5222, 5223 5297, 5298, 5353)Replace
iChat 4
The port used in IChat 4 is port 16402 instead of port 5060. The group of 20 ports is reduced to 10 (16393-16402). This is because all the In and Out Audio and Video data is on one port. Other that than the settings are the same.
At this time there is no Info on the ports the Screen Sharing in iChat 4 uses.
Wireless
Here you will have to read around but this Apple Article TA25949 Previously Doc 58514 might be a good starting place.
Essentially whether you are wireless or Ethernet to your routing device makes very little difference to the way you do things.
Your computer will get two IPs from a DHCP server if you are connected by both methods. (iChat does not like this)
Multiple devices
Make sure only one is acting as a DHCP server. Make sure wireless devices are bridged properly.

How can I stream video from a P/DVR to my Mac

Hi, How can I stream video from a Motorola dcx3400m P/DVR to my Mac? I have tried a Slingbox but the audio is out of sync witht the TV and it drives those watching on iPads or on the iMac in another room NUTS.
Is it possible to use a TV tuner of some sort. I've looked at the eye TV thing but I live in Canada/USA region and the eye TV products all seem to be for Austrailia or the UK. The one product that might work is a DVR and I don't need to pay for that as I already have one.
HELP!
Jeff

If your Mac has an audio input jack you can connect the output of a cassette machine to it (3.5mm stereo jack required). However many don't, so you will need a USB audio interface - Roland make a range. Alternatively you can buy cassette decks with a built in audio interface.
You will need a program to record and edit the input: Audacity is free and is often bundled with USB-enabled players.

How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X can't write in NTFS disks. If you want to write in NTFS drives, you have to use a third-party app like Paragon for NTFS, being this application the best one to write in those disks.
Another option is to format the external disk in FAT32 or exFAT on a PC, so you will be able to read and write in Macs and PCs without having to use third-party apps. Do it on a PC and copy the files of your external drive to the internal disk first

How can I stream video from my computer to my tv?

I want to know if and how I can stream video over my wireless network from my computer to my internet ready Sony TV. The TV is connected to an Airport Express.

Well you could go with the Apple TV, or you could just use the streaming functions built in to your Sony TV. As I don't know about Sony smart TVs I can't tell you anything about the TV's streaming functionality.

How to get the webcam to work?

Hi,
As I don't have an instruction book for this computer, can anyone tell me how to get the webcam to work please?
There is supposed to be something that pops up from the side of the screen, but I've left the mouse sit there for ages on all sides and nothing. Please assist me.
Kit_e

I refer you back to my original question.
There used to be a bar at the side that popped up when you left the mouse sit there for a bit. It no longer pops up ... ie: it's disappeared and will not return ... this is what "started" the webcam for use as a webcam.
I have no idea on how to use the webcam from any other place. There is no icon. There is no mention of it in the programs list. There is nothing. There is a webcam sitting there in the laptops lid, but I can't find where to "access it". Like I said there is no icon, nothing in the programs list.
I want to be able to use it. You know, like you use a webcam. On the web, as a camera. No particular website or software that I have in mind.
Thanks.

I can't get my video toto work

I can't get my video to work on my iPad.... I have never used it before so today I thought it would be nice to take a video... I did look it up on line but everyone is saying I have to slide the marked video to the middle of the screen, and I have done all that but it still won't work... Thank you

Swipe up or down on the screen - anywhere on the screen - until the word Video appears in yellow type on the right. That indicates that the video mode has been selected. Then tap on the big red dot to start recording, tap the big red button when you are done recording.

How can I stream videos that come into my imac directly to my AppleTV and then my TV

how can I stream videos that come into my imac directly to my AppleTV and then my TV?

Or... you can just use a 3rd party solution.
Best solution for streaming audio and video to your Apple TV from an Mac or Windows PC... without using iTunes... is Airparrot. You can screen share your Mac to your Apple TV. It even lets you select your overscan/underscan and video quality.
Download it and install. It shows up in your system tray. As long as you are on the same network as your Apple TV, just right click the Airparrot icon and select Apple TV as your Airplay device.
http://airparrot.com
Then hook up your wireless keyboard and mouse and plop on the couch for some supersized web browsing.
It's 20 minute sessions for the free version, $9.99 for full and can gift to someone for $4.99 if you buy for yourself.

I am using the window xp and firefox 6.
I watch the youtube videos online.
How I get that video from the catch folder and where that catch folder are situated in the window xp.

''How can I view or retrieve a video from Firefox's cache''
To actually view/retrieve the file from the cache and its web address you can use
the "Cache Viewer" extension 32.8KB
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#cacheviewer
For you to be able to view the cached file you would have had to have watched the entire file.
The latest version of the extension is 0.7b available in all versions you would have to override compatibility by any of these methods
* checking or pick up one of the xpi versions in the reader comments for Firefox 6.0
* extensions.checkCompatibility.6.0 set to False
*: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility
* or with an extension "Add-on Compatibility Reporter" (84.0 KB) seems preferred in this group
*:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
There are also extensions such as Video downloader 132.8 KB

Help getting streaming audio to work?

I am a new user to Mac OS as of a few weeks ago. I'm making the transition fairly well.
Using Safari, I can't get streaming audio to work on my hometown radio show.
Here's the link to the home page... http://www.kdkaradio.com/ Near the top right of the page is a button to listen live.
I read somewhere that you have to have Windows Media Player installed and I did that and it still doesn't work. I thought you might need a plugin with Firefox and I can't get it to work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you,
Dan
MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to Apple Discussions and Mac Computing.
Glad to hear the transition is easy. You might find
Scott Kelby's book
OS X Tiger: Killer
Tips helpful.
To your question:
Windows Media Player does not play natively on Intel
machines. You need to use the free
Flip4Mac plug-in as a
substitute for WMP. Microsoft has stated they do not
plan to create a Universal Binary app. for the
Windows Media Player.
On my machine:
No go on Safari. When I select "live" I get to the
page showing a template of a music player, but no
sound.
On Firefox, a separate sound panel opens, however,
the feed stops before sound occurs. Strange though,
the various highlight feeds do play with no problem.
I suggest you contact the web developer at the
station for clarification regarding the Mac
platform, and just what is compatible with their
content stream.
I'm using Flip4Mac in place of WMP.
Thank you very much for your help and support.
I uninstalled Windows Medial Player and installed Flip Mac.
I'll have to check out your book suggestion.
I am still getting the same error, page not found when trying to listen live. All the other feeds work fine. I emailed the radio station to see if they could resolve the problem.
Thanks again,
Dan

How to get this script to work with different browser

Do you guys know how to get this script to work with mozilla firefox?
do shell script "open -a safari 'https://login.binck.nl/klanten/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fklanten%2fdefault.aspx'"
tell application "Safari"
activate
          tell document 1
                    repeat until ((do JavaScript "location.host") is "login.binck.nl")
                              delay 1
                    end repeat
do JavaScript"document.getElementById('ctl00_Content_Gebruikersnaam').value='sim';document.ge tElementById('ctl00_Content_Wachtwoord').value='password';window.open(document. g etElementById('ctl00_Content_LoginButton').href, '_self', 'true');"
          end tell
end tell
Thank you so much in advance:)

That isn't possible. Firefox's AppleScript dictionary doesn't contain anything which can be used to manage JavaScripts.
