I am unable to play videos when flash is required

Does anyone know why I am unable to view certain videos while logged into FACEBOOK?

Because Flash does not and will never be natively supported on the iPad.
You alternative is to find other browsers that support flash. I see Puffin, Skyfire and iSwiffer recommended but I've never used any of them. I also hear that they have varying levels of success (as in some work better with some sites than others)

You can't play movies in iPhoto. But, you can in quicktime, which is installed along with the OS. Just double click on the .mov file and quicktme should start.

Check to see if your Adobe Flash Player is up to date. They released an update in the past couple of days.

Not without some more details.
Are these videos purchased from iTunes or from another source?

How can I download FLV completely and only then play video on Flash?

What is a proper way to download video first and then play it in Flash? NetStream seems to allow me only to stream video - I can't find a way to download file completely first. Is there some other file for this?
It looks like I can download the file using URLLoader, then do NetStream.play(null) and then append bytes from URLLoader using NetStream.appendBytes(...), but I get: "SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: file:///Users/Paulius/Build.swf cannot access unknown URL. No policy files granted access." Is there a workaround?

No, I don't think that's the issue. I have no problems downloading the video using URLLoader, which does the crossdomain check. Problem is when I do this:
stream = new NetStream(connection);
// ... snip ...
video = new Video();
video.attachNetStream(stream);
addChild(video);
stream.play(null);
stream.appendBytes(videoByteArray as ByteArray); // videoByteArray is taken from URLLoader downloaded content, i.e. the video
As you can see NetStream doesn't know anything about the video, it doesn't know anything about the server, so it can not take something from crossdomain.xml.
As far as I've read, it's imposible to do what I'm doing: simply Flash security won't allow to take contents of anonymous stream (i.e. stream started with play(null)).
So my question is: how do I download video first and then play (instead of streaming) it in some other way? I couldn't find such API on NetStream itself.

Unable to play videos on Microsoft website

I have a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.8.
Neither Safari nor Fox will allow the playing of videos even after installing, uninstalling and reinstalling flash.
I am trying to play videos at the following site:

This is a Microsoft Excel 2007 tutorial.
I would appreciate anyone's help to solve this problem.
Thank you

I had tried Silverlight too but no luck.
I guess I'll revert to my PC at the office to view this tutorial.
Thanks for the help.

Why does Safari refuse to play videos when iOS does

Safari 6.01 on my iMac refuses to play videos. It will play Flash.
Is it because of location although they play on iOS.

Many web servers adapt the content they serve to the client that requests it. That's all I can tell you based on the information you've provided.

Playing videos with flash player

I can't see pictures from some of Home Depot online videos with flash player?

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Please report back soon.

Safari is not working. Many (not all) graphics not shown, won't play video, says Flash is missing, will not respond to login or query submissions. Firefox seems OK. Help?

This seemed to happen as I was working today. Pages are not fully loading (spinning wheel on tab never stops) and most graphics don't show. Videos are not playing and game sites say I need Adobe Flash. I tried downloading Flash, but that just didn't happen either. At the same time Firefox seems fine, including loading the same games, playing video, logging in and queries.
It seems like a bug, but ProtectMac Antivirus has screened several times today with no threats found. (Also says its software is up to date as of today.)
I don't want to remove Flash if its really installed and working.
Should I uninstall and reinstall Safari?

Hi Jonthan ...
ProtectMac Antivirus
First, uninstall the ProtectMac Antivirus >   http://www.protectmac.com/support/faq.html#qt18
If you want to have a/v software installed on a Mac either ClamXav or Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Edition are far more compatible with Apple native applications such as Safari and both are free.
Then try troubleshooting Flash. The plugin you have installed now may be corrupted.
Uninstall then reinstall a new Flash plugin > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Now relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video and see if pages load as they should.
And go to:   HD/Library/Internet-Plug-Ins
If you have ClickToFlash installed, that can prevent Flash content from loading.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info.
If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
And check to make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk.   Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

Ios6 update has done something to you tube icon and now I can't see videos. Flash player required message and a black bar appears when scrolling. Any ideas? I've booked an appointment at the Genius Bar next Saturday but don't want to waste their time

iOS 6 update has done something to the YouTube icon and now I can't see videos when following the new link in the bookmark bar. Flash player required message appears and there is a black bar when scrolling.

YouTube is not now part of iOS 6. However, you can download the YouTube app at http://itunes.apple.com/app/youtube/id544007664.
