HT201077 Can't play videos shared over photo stream from my brother. Please help!

I used to be able to play videos which were streamed by my brother and now I cannot view them, they just are continually loading. How can this issue be solved?

Hello Puddinchops,
It sounds like you are not able to view shared videos from your brothers Shared Photo Stream. I recommend starting by closing all the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
Then reset your network settings and test the issue again:
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

  • Can't play video shared on Photo Stream

    Hi, I'm having trouble playing a short (27-second) video shared on Photo Stream/iCloud. It shows up on my iPhone (OS7), but when I try to play it, it just spins and spins. I've downloaded the latest OS and version of iPhoto for my MacBook Air as well, and the video doesn't even show up there. I can only see photos from the shared Photo Stream, but not the video.
    Thanks for your help!

    Same issue here.
    Share videos to photo stream an it doesn't play on any other device. It just sites there forever spinning around and around (left overnight).
    Tested on iPad 2 and iPhone 5s with iOS 7.0 and 7.0.1 respectively.

  • How can I transfer a video between iPads? I can see the video in a photo stream but it won't save to the new iPad.

    I shot a video with the camera on an iPad and want to transfer a copy to a new iPad Mini to take advantage of the retina display.  I can see it in a photo stream, but it won't let save it to the new iPad.  The old iPad didn't have enough memory to work on an iMovie, so I need to get the video in the new iPad mini to put it in an iMovie project.

    Okay, I figured out that Windows has "AutoPlay" settings which can automatically download photos and videos from a newly connected device, such as an iPad Mini.  I think I could open it in Windows Explorer too that way but the auto download solved my problem.

  • How can save my videos in My photo stream album?

    My picture are saved in my photo stream however my videos are not saved. Is there any way to save my videos in this site instead using my phone memory?

    Photo stream does not support videos at the present time.  Apple announced that iOS 7, due out this fall, will include iCloud Photo Sharing which will include videos (see http://www.apple.com/ios/ios7/features/).

  • Can't upload Videos to Facebook.  Getting error message.  Please help!

    Hello,
    I've tried mulitiple times, but I can't upload a video to Facebook.  It goes through the whole process, and when it's done "uploading" it comes back with an Error Message - Unknown Error. 
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    TSO
    Thanks for the update.
    But, I would ask for clarification.
    I have never seen any Adobe posted limits for the Premiere Elements upload to Facebook feature, but....
    In the following online article posted about a year ago, the responder makes a distinction between Facebook
    unverified and phone-verified accounts.
    Unverified account limit = 100 MB 10 minutes
    Phone-verified account limit = 1024 MB 20 minutes
    Is there a limit to the size and the length of the video files that I can upload to Facebook? | Facebook Help Community …
    I suspect that the unverified account limit is what can be used in the Premiere Elements feature within the program
    and not the phone-verified one which can probably just be used for uploads to Facebook at the Facebook web site. But I do
    not know for sure at this time. There is a similar situation that exists with YouTube with its regular and extended time accounts
    and when and where you can use them. YouTube, I know first hand. I am not involved with Facebook in anyway.
    If that online article of over a year ago is correct for now....your 843 MB 3 minutes 45 seconds failed on file size if your account
    is one of those unverified ones. You could look into the Facebook phone-verified accounts to see if that resolves any of
    your Facebook issues.
    If you are exporting in Premiere Elements to a file saved to the hard drive for upload to Facebook at the Facebook web site, you might consider lowering the bitrate under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export preset to decrease the file size but still maintain quality.
    More later.

  • Mac Book pro can't access some shared files on a windows machine. Please Help!!!

    I have a early 2013 Mac Book Pro running Mac osx 10.8.3. I also have a 2002ish dell desktop. I have file sharing turned on for several drives on the dell and the mac finds and connects to the dell. I can also see the shared hard drives, but when i try to access certian files on the hard drvies the mac said something like you do not have permissions to access this folder. The folder has a little red icon in the corner and in the get info window it said that I have custom access. Also when i try to logon to the dell from the mac using connect as I enter the username for the windows account. There is no pasword so I leave that blank. When i click login it still said in finder that i was logged in as guest. Any help with either problem would be great. I don't know if the problems are linked or what, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
    -Thanks!!!

    Check topic E3 at this webpage: Time  Machine  -  Troubleshooting.  See if it can shed any light on the issue.

  • Can't play videos on Windows Media Player from Xperia z3

    I have recorded som videos and while trying to load them onto my computer via USB some show up and others just play the sound without the video?
    Can anyone help with this problem?

    Hi Gearld, welcome to the community!
    I would advise transferring the files through PC Companion using the Media Go app like Phy has suggested & also playing the videos through VLC player rather than Windows Media Player as this VLC player can read a large number of formats and is most likely to play your videos smoothly.

  • Can't delete "Photo Library" from iPhone.  Please help

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm trying to delete the "photo library" off my iPhone (as well as all the sub folders it has created). I do not want to have all the images from iPhoto to be on my iPhone as well. When I plug-in my phone, I go to the photo tab in iTunes...un-click the "sync from iPhoto" option at the top...it then asks me if I'd like to remove all the images added via iPhoto to which I answer "remove" but then nothing happens. I've tried re-syncing it, re-starting it (phone, computer and itunes) but nothing happens. The phone is a 3G.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    OK I was able to figure it out. First, I had to check the "Sync Photos from iPhoto" box in the photos tab. Second; I had to check, "Selected albums, events and faces and automatically included" Third; I to select "NO EVENTS" from the drop down menu. By selecting *no events* I was able to remove all the photos I did not take with my iPhone.
    Hope this helps someone else too.

  • Cant' play video in i-photo anymore: worked well yesterday

    can't play video in i-photo anymore: worked well yesterday

    First download and install QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.  Launch iPhoto and try the videos again.  If still no go give this a try:   launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. if it does try the following: try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain 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.
    Still not playing then apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    Hi!

    Video files are on LaCie 2big NAS. It connected to AirPort Extreme with ethernet cabe (1Gb). Home theater connected to AE router with WiFi. I can browse all the files on NAS, view photos but cant play any video now.
    It plays video from USB stick, but cant play the same video from NAS with WiFi.
    There no any setting on AirPort utility. What should I do? Whats wrong?

    The problem is solved.

  • I cannot see the videos stored in 'videos' on my iphone 4s to transfer them. The videos in my photo stream transfer over when connected to a pc.

    I cannot see the videos in 'videos' when connectedto a pc to transfer them over then delete. I can see the videos & transfer them from the photo stream.

    Correcion - the videos in the photo stream are different videos. I need to move & delete the videos in 'videos'.

  • How can I subscribe to a Shared Photo Stream from iPhoto 9.4 on OSX 10.7.5 ?

    I just updated to iPhoto 9.4 on both my (just updated) OSX 10.8.2 MacBook Pro and my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
    For some mysterious reason Apple specifies that I can not subscribe to the new "Shared Photo Streams" from my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
    How could that be ?
    How can I get around this ?
    How can it be that Apple claims that 'Shared Photo Streams' can be shared to all my other devices, but it turns out that my major photo-database can't, even though it has a brand new version of last year's OSX running... ???!!!
    This can't be a software issue...
    because if that were the case Apple would be deliberately cutting off users of last year's operating system... (...I even think there is a law prohibiting that...)
    so... can anyone tell me what the exact piece of hardware is that I am missing ?
    or has anyone found a solution for this yet ?
    Thanks !

    The only hardware that's preventing me from upgrading to 10.8 "Mountain Lion" would be the fact that a Mid-2007 Mac mini doesn't have a separate graphics card...
    ...as all other hardware-components ar similar to the iMac Mid 2007... :
    - at least 2GB of PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM RAM
    - a 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo "Merom" processor
    - a WiFi-N compatible AirPort-card (I've upgraded the one in my Mac mini to an Atheros AR-9280...)
    - OSX 10.6.8 or later installed (I have OSX 10.7.5)
    - iPhoto 9.4
    ...so the only spec I not meeting hardware-wise is the fact that my Mac mini has a GMA950 shared graphics card...
    but surely... that can not be the reason I can't subscribe to a Photo Stream...
    why would that have anything to do with eachother ???!!!
    [ I've even seen claims of tricked OSX 10.8 installers for the Mid-2007 Mac mini, so if that's my only option... ]
