My macbook air no longer plays utubes, trailers or other videos that come up
when I'm searching with Google Chrome ... the message I get is "could not load
Shockwave Flash" ... can anyone tell me how to load shockwave flash or how to
fix the problem? I understand I can use another browser but I like to use google
chrome and prefer to stay with it.
THANKS.

    I have similar problem, my apple tv which has always worked properly with my Samsung tv will no longer play any audio after the latest 5.1 upgrade. Very frustrating as it was working perfectly before. I am starting to not trust apple upgrades until proven for example ios6 on iPhone with that stupid map app instead of google maps.
    I just want to buy and hear my iTunes music and videos on my apple tv, could before cant now. Thank you apple. Time to pack up the apple tv and start torrenting without the ios-bs.
    Disheartened apple fan.

    Welcome to the  discussion forums.
    Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

  • Itunes will no longer play any film?

    I have recently reinstalled and authorized Itunes on my computer but i can no longer play any films which i have previoulsy paid for and downloaded?
    any ideas?
    Thank you,
    james

    You get this message because  iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
    Do any of these aply to you?

    There are a g-zillion posts sharing your problem... but still no answer from Apple. The odd thing is that it is not affecting all of us.
    I share your problem and it's doing my head in... if somebody mentions the 5 bloody R's again...!!!
    Before updating to 1.2, ask yourself... how bad do you you really want Tetris????

  • My macbook air will not switch on any ideas - how much is the support calls for a one off??

    I cannot switch on my Macbook Air - It has power to it and it is warm under it - but nothing on the screen and pressing the turn on switch has no effect.  Could it be the battery??  The screen?? or what - very annoying as it has only just had its warranty expired.  I have been on to support and they want to charge me for the call - but how much??does anyone know the answers to my questions please xx

    Take it to an Apple vendor/retailer to arrange for repair.

  • Quicktime Update No Longer Plays Any of My MP4 or M4V Video Files!?

    Hi there everyone. I am absolutely desperate to find a solution to my problem now, so I was hoping someone on here might be able to help me out. I have a G4 that I use as a media center via frontrow to play my huge collection of MP4 and M4V video files that are local and streamed from the library on my main intel mac. This has been working fine for some time and I haven't had any problems playing files.
    However, when iTunes 9 came out, I ran software update and updated iTunes and Quicktime to 7.6.4, as well as updating the OS to 10.5.8. As soon as I did this, all the MP4 and M4V files that had worked fine up until that point stopped being playable by frontrow/itunes/quicktime. A lot of these are movies that I bought from the iTunes store, and it will not even play those now. It is definitely not a video format problem. When I try to play them in quicktime, I get the error "file is not a video file". This applies to all old files, plus new ones I have attempted to add. Also, frontrow WILL play video files streamed from my main computer, but not local ones (same files). I did the exact same updates on my main mac, and all the files will play perfectly fine on that machine, it is only this one that won't play.
    I have tried everything I can think of, I have reinstalled both apps several times. I have also checked the System/Library/Quicktime components and they are all intact, exactly the same as on my other machine. Now it looks as though my only option is to start again from scratch and reinstall the operating system - a time consuming option as I do not back up this secondary machine..
    Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do to fix the Quicktime installation? Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thank you

    Ok well if you want to go about it down and dirty you can try this. Take a file that does copy over correctly, for my purposes I had a Rocky and Bullwinkle episode that if I changed the file extension to .m4v it would add correctly through iTunes. From Terminal search /Volumes/youripodname/iPod_Control/Music/ for any file with the m4v extension and take note of them. Now add the "supported" file through iTunes then after it finishes do another search from Terminal and see which file with an m4v extension wasn't there before. Now from Terminal copy the "unsupported" file over to the same location with the same name. Here's what mine looked like cp /Volumes/harddrivename/Video/MUTEMATH.mp4 /Volumes/youripodname/iPod_Control/Music/F12/SJXB.m4v Now in iTunes change the Info for that file with the "Get Info" menu and your set. Mine now plays a video file that it wouldn't let me add through iTunes after the 9.0 update.
    I'm sure there's a better way and when I figure out a quick script to do this by directly modifying the itunes database I'll try and repost a solution.

  • My one year old macbook pro will no longer play DVD's.. why?

    After a year, without any problems playing DVD's, my macbook pro has suddenly decided that it no longer wishes to have anything to do with DVD's and spits them out at the first opportunity. Can anyone out there help to rebuild this once loving relationship.

    SuperDrives can fail and you don't have many options in replacing them. You can get Apple to replace it or travel over to OWC - here - and look at the options for replacing the SuperDrive yourself.
    Before doing anything, however, I'd take your computer into your local Apple Store and have them diagnose the problem. That won't cost you a thing. If you're still under AppleCare warranty, they should replace the drive for nothing. If you're not under warranty go in knowledgeable, at least, at what it would cost you to replace your SuperDrive yourself - and then find out what Apple would charge.
    Good luck - it just sounds as if you SuperDrive has bitten the dust...

  • Ipad will no longer play any videos on any site. Switch to photon and it plays. These are not flash vids!

    On safari I have a long list of blogs of news that I have viewed daily for years. About to weeks ago. These apparent you tube embeds now say this video cannot be viewed.   Since these sites haven't changed all at once I downloaded photon and they all play. Yes I know photon has a flash player but I don't have to activate it it just plays. Further if I track to you tube with the YouTube app the same video will play.  All of these sites could not have switched to flash at the same time. Any ideas?

    Where are watching these videos?  Through Safari, or on the You Tube app that was pre-installed on your iPad from day one?  If the later and you all of the sudden can't watch previously viewable video, I'd recommend you reboot your iPad.  Press and hold the power buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar) until the Apple logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. 
    If you could view these through You Tube via Safari, go into settings > safari > clear cookes > clear cache
    Then try again........

  • ITunes will no longer play any music.

    iTunes will open just fine, but when I click play on a song it won't play. The tracking icon won't move at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and the problem still stands. It started when I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. Also, it does the same thing with CDs. iTunes won't play ANYTHING... HELP!

    Are you streaming or syncing you music? Sounds like you're streaming music directly from iTunes.
    There can be many different issues. First, try power-cycling you wireless router (leave router disconnected for about 1 or 2 minutes) to refresh the wireless communication betweek both devices.
    Make sure all software updates have been installed, for Apple TV and iTunes.

  • MacBook Pro will no longer access the internet

    We have two macs:  A MacBook Pro (2.53 GHz Intel Core Due) and a MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo).  Both are running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Problem:  the MacBook Pro will no longer connect to the internet.  Network Diagnostics thinks that it is connected.  I can use Network Utilitities to ping a site.  But Apple Mail, iCal, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Skype, Software Update, etc., cannot access the internet.
    The MacBook Pro is set up with a single user account.
    Our internet is provided through a mobile phone provider.  If I set up our smart phone to serve as a wireless hotspot, the MacBook, iPod Touch, iPad will all connect.  The MacBook Pro will not.  If I put the SIM card in a USB modem and connect the modem to the MacBook Pro, the modem software will connect to the internet.  If I turn on Internet Sharing on the MacBook Pro, the MacBook, etc., will connect through the MacBook Pro, but the MacBook Pro itself will not.
    So to sum up:  the modem software connects to the internet, Internet Sharing works as it should, Network Diagnostics and Network Utilities can't see a problem, and yet none of the apps that NEED to access the internet are able to.
    This is the error message that Safari gives:
         Safari can't open the page "...".  The error is "The
         operation couldn't be completed.  Operation not permitted"
         (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:1) Please choose Safari > report Bugs to Apple, note the
         error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
    This is the error message that Chrome gives:
         Error 10 (net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED): Unknown Error
    I have tried going to System Preferences / Network and deleting Airport and then adding it back.  I've tried disabling the Firewall.  And the same with reboots after each.
    We're from the States but currently our work has us in Africa.  To keep from inadvertantly passing on windows viruses to others (viruses are rampant in Africa), I'm running the Intego anti-virus software on both machines (VirusBarrier X6).  I mention this because the problem started after rebooting after an update for that software.  (The MacBook Pro has had the update, the MacBook has not.)  But I also used Time Machine in an attempt to roll back VirusBarrier X6 to its pre-update status.  That didn't solve the problem either, which makes be think that the Intego problem didn't cause the problem.  But I mention it to be thorough.
    There is an Apple-certified service centre in country, but it's a long drive away that I'd rather not have to make.  As it would for any of you in this day and age, this is really hampering my work.  Any and all help is much appreciated.

    THE FIX
    After hours (days actually) troubleshoorting, involving 4 people and Apple Support folks, I'll  save you time. If you have VirusBarrier-follow the Manual to uninstall. use Intego's uninstall and deauthorize Virusbarrier before you trash it. If you have Net Nanny, trash it.
    None of the above-it is Foxcomm's Airport/Bluetooth (661-5867) card. Faulty, non existent, blown a transistor, are all comments from Techn Support reps (the Genuis blue shirt reps)
    Take it into an Apple Store, have them check the Airport card  (and only the airport card) using " a different operating system". Sorry that is a black hole, as the machine disappeared to the back of the store for"testing. Don't re-install the OS, delete plist files or applications, reconf and spend hours wasting your time.
    Virusbarrier, net nanny or a faulty Airport card. In warranty it is covered; out of warranty:70.55 plus $39 to have Apple officially loosen the screws.I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro, can't speak for older models.
    Hope this helps the community.

  • I have just bought a MacBook Air and i cannot play videos from the internet as it asks for a flash player to be installed i try to download Adobe flash player and it will not allow me to do so?

    Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

  • My Macbook Air will not play music from the speakers

    My Macbook Air will not play music from the speakers and the institutions says that it can only play sound out of earphones.

  • My macbook air will not boot

    My Macbook Air will not boot.  It starts and hangs up at the apple logo.  Is there a bypass to see what the problem is?

    Try a Safe Boot by holding down the Shift key between the startup tone and the Apple Logo.  This will take longer than a normal boot and display a progress indicator.  If successful, Go to System Preferences > Startup disks > select your Boot drive and restart.
