I am suddenly not able to play any media, such as youtube or games

I am suddenly unable to play any media, such as Youtube or catchup tv. When I try I just get a black screen on Youtube or anyother videolinks.
I had noticed some quick little screen flashes, but everything had played fine just the night before.

Sites such as YouTube require Flash ...
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Back to Safari. Press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
Quit and relaunch Safari, try a video.
If that doesn't help, you may have the YouTube HTML5 beta enabled.
Opt out here > YouTube

I am not able to play any audio from any website that I open in Firefox For example. if I play a song from Youtube in firefox, I cant hear the audio, where as the same song can be played in Chrome/IE.

I am not able to play any audio in firefox. For ex, If I open a song from youtube, I am not able to listen to audio but same link in Chrome/IE works fine. Firefox '''used to be fine''' in my pc until someday '''it suddenly started behaving weird''' with no sound from any of websites, Facebook videos or any cnn videos etc. Its not the problem with hardware in my system. Its just in Firefox, I am unable to troubleshoot or fix it. Please help

sound problems:
#Restore speaker icon to System Task bar, right-click on clock or tray > Properties > Volume: On
#Click on the Sound icon in System tray then on Mixer, make sure Firefox is not muted [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/icons/fx_sound.png picture]

I am not able to play any youtube video on Firefox, while the same video plays on IE and Chrome.

FireFox was playing youtube videos with no issues until yesterday. Suddenly none of the youtube videos are paying on FireFox. The error message is "An error has occurred. Please try again later"
I tried the following
1. Uninstall and Reinstall Firefox
2. Uninstall and Reinstall Flash
3. Restart my laptop
No luck with anything. The same videos play fine on IE and Chrome.

Hi mje397,
Sorry for the delay. I have been investigating this and it may have to do with saved preferences on the computer. If you right click and select "Global Settings" remove stored preferences. I could not find any outage notifications for Youtube.
Also disable Flash and try the HTML5 player just in case this is a plug in issue. This can happen specifically when there are network issues or there are changes being made to the videos on the hosted site.
Please post back with your results, it could help other users!

I am not able to play any youtube video it is showing error.

I am able to play youtube videos on chrome but not in the latest version of firefox i.e 32.0.1

Check Your Connection. Update your Flashplayer. Hope this helps..

Windows 7 x64 not able to play any Windows Media based webcasts

I have 2 machines, a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro and a 2010 Mac Pro. Both have x64 Windows 7 via Boot Camp and both experience the same issue, namely when in Windows, I cannot play any webcasts that use WMP as the only player.
If I boot into Mac, both machines play the same webcasts fine via either Safari or Firefox. More frustratingly, when in Windows, I can play the webcasts when they provide an option to play via Real Player, but some sites don't offer the option to use Real Player so I'm stuck.
I need Windows for our work applications, so booting into Mac isn't a solution. Anyone know what's going on?

Have you try Microsoft sites since this is a Window 7 driver issue.

Hi Team - Not able to play 1080 p videos on Youtube. Website scrollling is also choppy.

Hi Team
I am unable to play 1080 p videos on Youtube though 780 p videos are getting played nicely. Earlier I used to play 1080 p videos also but now it stopped after installing latest firefox update. But from archives I installed 28.0 version but still the same problem persists.
Also website surfing is not smooth its choppy and website halts while scrolling or browser gets hang while surfing.
Please suggest me what can I do. I have updated graphics drivers and everything.
Thanks
Shailesh

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

When I updated the adobe flash player and went to facebook I'm not able to play any of the apps, one says I need to update my version of adobe and it has been updated, now I'm not able to open any of the games on facebook!

After I downloaded Firefox, I attempted to update the top four plugins, I already have adobe flash player, but I went on ahead and downloaded it again with the other three, java and two others. I then restarted my computer, and when I logged back on to face book Farmville would not load a message said if it don't load in ten seconds I would need to update the adobe flasher which is in my add and delete box. The same with Cafe world, it will not load as well! My google search is missing as well! I have no problems logging on to Face book, but I can't go to any of the applications that I normally play with now! I did updated the top four plugins as was suggested and now I'm having problems!

Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox. 
See [[Managing the Flash plugin]] and [[Installing the Flash plugin]]
You can check the Adobe welcome and test page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
You can use this manual download link:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try unchecking the tones and syncing, then re-checking them and syncing again.

Why does Firefox for Android crash when I try to play any media or plugin content?

I have had this device ASUS MEMO Pad for 6 months and Firefox for Android has never been able to play any media or plugin content without crashing. I have tried playing flash with the appropriate flash plugin installed and without and it crashes every time (it should not crash even without the plugin - it should handle it).
Even HTML5 video and mp3 audio will cause a crash every time (with tap to play enabled or disabled).

Last 5 crash IDs:
bp-43cc9bd8-40cb-4642-a3d5-d23992140505

I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
There will be no audio output in safe mode. The question to be answered by the test is whether any devices are listed in the Sound preference pane. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

HT201401 After downloading a song last month, I haven't been able to play any of my music on my phone except for the one new song! Help!

After downloading a song a little over a month ago I haven't been able to play any of my other songs, why? Please help!

Here is what you can try,
Hold both the power and home buttons until the device powers off, may take 10sec. Let go of both as soon as screen goes black.
Open itunes on your computer and plug in your cable to the computer but NOT the phone.
Once itunes is open hold down the home button on phone and plug in cable and continue holding home button until you see the connect to iTunes logo on screen. iTunes will give a msg that a device has been detected in recovery mode. Now select restore and do not disconnect until you see your device in iTunes again.
Set the device up as NEW and see if the issue is still there.

Not able to play some of the copyrighted or licensed files

Hi,
Since a month or so, I am not able to play most of my wma files, which were ripped from original audio CDs. The problem is not universally applicable to all of the licensed files because there are some, I am able to play(but that is only a minority, as that
represents music from just one original audio CD).
A few times in between I am able to play these files, but I am unable to find any correlation with any action/task performed. This problem resurfaces again and again.
I tried restoring the computer, but didn't solved it. Restarted, fixed the registry errors, but to no avail.
Please note that I am also having blue screen errors from time to time (one error in a day or two). The blue screen of death comes just randomly and computer restarts.
I also vaguely remember that a few weeks back, I solved this problem by typing some command in command prompt. I tried to find out that web page(from where I got this command), but couldn't. It was may be a registry problem. But, I am not 100% sure about all
this.
Below are the outcomes on different players:
Winamp:- Nothing happens
WMP:- A message comes "The player is not installed correctly, please reinstall the player"
VLC:- Tries to play repeatedly, not able to play.
I recorded the messages of VLC on a verbosity of 2 i.e. debug mode:

My firefox webpage now opens up as a whole page and I am not able to see any any menu bars

All of a sudden my firefox webpage now opens in the whole window and I am not able to see any menu bars in the top or the "start" icon in the bottom of the screen

Toggle Full Screen mode on/off with F11 -- very useful keyboard shortcut.
