I can't download videos to realplayer; they always read "unable to download"

Whenever I try to download a video from youtube, the downloader always reads "unable to download." Does Firefox depend on internet explorer, because my internet explorer hasn't been working the past couple days. I hope that downloading videos doesn't depend on internet explorer.
Please help, youtube is the only place I can download music!

What likely happened is the site initially allowed you to download the file from their servers, but switched to sending you the torrent file which you have to use Transmission to set up a Peer to Peer file sharing and download a little piece from many people, which in turn you run the software for awhile and it uploads to many other people.
So the little kb file is a location file to start the torrent, open it in Transmission.
There is a problem with this, a lot of P2P content is copy righted and not allowed to be transmitted in this fashion, if your transmitting or receiving copyrighted content without permission of the copyright owner, you can be sued, your ISP may even block your access to the Internet or throttle your access as being a "excessive user".
There is nothing wrong with P2P file sharing, a lot of good legal content is shared this way as it takes a huge bandwidth expense to host and allow millions of people to download.
Trouble is a lot of malware, illegal files, copyrighted content and so forth can be shared this way.
Some of these "sites" that allow free TV downloads may have been doing it without permission of the copyright owner and were caught, so they instead switched to just providing directions to the torrents instead as they are harder to catch being in so many different countries with different rules, laws and enforcement.
If you respect all the hard work that goes into making a 1 hour TV show (about a 60-80 hour week depending upon the weather) then you should at least rent or watch the TV show with commercials to help pay for it's expanse and for more shows to be generated.
There is Netflix, which only costs $8 a month for unlimited streaming to your computer or Xbox, PS3, Roku to your HDTV, it's the best deal around and they got tens of thousands of TV shows etc.
Support the system and it will support you with new content.

How can i watch videos in which they used adobe flash player?

just want to know how to play adobe flash player videos in my ipad 2? thank you....

Flash is not supported on the iPad and probably never will be, especially as Adobe have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of flash player.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

I can't view videos and photos in Adobe Reader

I have Adobe Reader but cannot get certain videos or photos etc from friends. I have trouble updating. I own an IMac desk top computer. I have recently installed XOS system which is not helping either.

Branching to a separate discussion and moving the discussion to the Adobe Reader forum.

Can text messages be deleted before they are read?

After writing a text message to several recipients I realized I had the wrong date on it. Since none of the messages have been read yet, am I able to delete the entire text message?

Once you tap "send" they are confined to the ether and you cannot get them back. What I often do is not fill in the "to" field in my messages and emails until I am satisfied that the message is correct. After that I fill that field and that way I cannot accidentally send the message before I am ready. Sometimes I compose a message/email and wait until the next day and review and decide whether I still want to send.... sometimes I decide not to send.

How do i get the adobe flash player so i can watch youtube videos?

how do i get the adobe flash player so i can watch youtube videos?

Software is always safest directly from the developer or the App Store.
There are numerous untrustworthy 'update' sites like Cnet & Softonic, & many users won't know that one is to be trusted (so far) but not most of the others.
Adobe make Flash Player : get it from Adobe.

I just updated to the latest version of Firefox and now I can no longer download facebook videos with realplayer as I formerly could. How can I downgrade to my previous version of Firefox?

This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.
The GEARsoftware info about manually deleting GEAR drive is from:

How can I download a video from the net? is there is any special download softwear than realplayer?

how can I download a video from the net? is there is any special download softwear than realplayer?

There are a variety of file formats for storing and sending video. You will probably want to install VLC, which handles most open formats. RealPlayer is used on their proprietary format.

thanks. somehow after restoring it, ipod on my phone had another option to download them onto my phone (even though they would play so no idea) but then it allowed me to swipe the songs to delete them so they are finally gone from my phone!!!

So it's not just youtube for me its all videos!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== the last firefox update
''locking due to the age of this thread''

haven't tried it myself but saw this earlier in a blog somewhere:
"try retro installing FF v3.6.3",
makes sense 'cos I've only been experiencing the same problem with mozilla & realplayer combo since updating to latest FF v3.6.4
noted that under IE realplayer plugin still works fine, button to 'download this video' comes on as before.....
from what I read retro install will pick up all your bookmarks etc. do no worries there
naughty, NAUGHTY mozilla people! you were 'bombproof' until today....what happened? good luck sorting it out though!!!! I still luv you!

After updating ios6 I can't access my downloaded iTunesU videos anymore. They come up in search but video app says 'no videos'. I have the new iPad and the latest version of iTunesU.

After updating ios6 I can't access my downloaded iTunesU videos anymore. They come up in search but video app says 'no videos'. I have the new iPad and the latest version of iTunesU. How can I get the video app working with the iTunesU again?

I have a similar problem with ITunesU, I used to be able to access them from my car dock, but now they dont appear and the fwd/back buttons on the steering wheel wont affect them.
It seems taking them from ITunes into their own app has confused many other applications or dock connectors. Im going to try and remove the ITunesU app as I dont want to have lost the extra functionality

Cannot dowload YOUTUBE Videos through RealPlayer anymore since your update...I can through IE, which I hate!

Since I updated to Firefox 5.0 , I am unable to download YOUTUBE Videos through RealPlayer...that download Icon has disappeared. I opened I.E. and guess what! I can still download through them...however I absolutely HATE I.E. and love Firefox.
What has changed? What did you guys do?

Dear Pat, please forgive my total ignorance about programs. I'm confused as to why when I had only my Windows Media Player with a plain Adobe I could watch all videos and such, and now suddenly I can't watch them unless I install the Adobe Flash Player and a number of other programs too???
I try to avoid using up so much more memory as programs take, as my computer is pretty old (though works well) and it doesn't have much capacity for installing more memory.
"If you want to play Youtube videos, you will need Adobe Flash Player."
If there's no other choice, I'll install Adobe Flash Player, but will this be sufficient to view videos/Youtube, etc. without having to install more programs?
"If you want to play downloadable videos such as MPEG files, you will need Windows Media Player."
Does "downloadable videos such as MPEG files," mean to copy a video to another place via downloading it? I wondered how to do that when sometimes people ask me to email them a video and didn't know I could use the Windows Media Player which I already have...
"For other file formats you may need other players such as QuickTime or Real Player."
Would you kindly tell me which are the "other file formats" and how can I tell if they are really necessary for me?
"To see what version of Flash Player you have, click on this link http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/ "
I must not have it since each time I try to open a video or Youtube it doesnt let me view it and a flashing popup urges me to "GET THE LATEST FLASH PLAYER".
"P.S. If you don't need/use Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition, you can uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs."
Thank you for telling me, I've uninstalled it and am happy! :) Also thank you for alerting me to NOT install Adobe Media Player.
So far I haven't been able to open any of the videos, Youtube, etc. I receive, so will appreciate it so much if you and/or others could help me understand this, for which, my deepest thanks!! :) Adela

Can't download videos I bought on iTunes. Lack of space but I already erased lots of applications and still not working.. Can you help ASAP please as I can't watch videos anymore..

Hi,
I bought the last version of IPad that came out recently ( I bought it 3 weeks ago). It is a 16GB.
So far I love this product, but I 'm getting stuck with movie downloads from iTunes.
Indeed I just ordered 3 movies in HD and they don't download as the message "error lack of space" come up.
So I made some space on my IPad, erased most of my music (only 156 MB left), I had pages, I erased it but really I 'm loosing $11..., I erased all the movies I had before, and much more. Now what I don't understand is that I have only 3GB available when my following applications don't even take the 10.3GB of used space:
Music: 156 MB
Skype: 34,2 MB
Sleep well: 16.6 MB
Calculator: 11,8 MB
Voice memos: 9,8MB
Iswifter: 6,2 MB
And Video says no Data
There is no extra application, so it is really strange it is doing this. I tried to reset and restart many times with no success. I also tried to look at the previews of the videos I bought and tried to redownload them but the same message come up.
Now apart of the strange lack of space on my IPad, I understand that the videos I wanted to download were in HD and therefore too big.
What I would like to do is to shift to download to SD but I can't do it and also can't erase the downloads...
I wonder if the downloads are actually not already taking space even tho they haven't even been able to charge some information (they are not even downloaded half way or anything like that).
Unfortunately I don't have a computer to download my IPad to, so I could try to manipulate the videos purchased from there. I'm traveling and now I can't watch movies anymore which is very annoying...
Also I checked my multi tasking is off....
Could you please help me as soon as possible on this?
Thanks a lot,
Julie

According to the trms of the iTunes and app stores - all sales are final. but that doe not mean that you can't try anyway. People ask for refunds all the time. Use the Express Lane email to contact iTunes.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
You can still download the other movies in iTunes on your computer. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Check for Available Downloads. You can download them in iTunes and then sync them to the iPad later. When you are done watching the first movie, you can transfer it into iTunes on your computer, delete it from the iPad and you will have the room for another movie on the device. To transfer the movie when you are done with it, you can use the transfer purchases feature.
Transfer purchases.

If the photos that you lost were photos that you took with the iPad, they should be in your iPad backup - if you sync with iTunes or if you backup with iCloud.

How can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

how can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type. The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
"H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
(earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes). If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

With latest version of Flashplayer - unable to download streaming video with realplayer

The latest version of Adobe flashplayer (11.5) was loaded today (nov 9, 2012). As a result, using either IE9 or Firefox, I was unable to download streaming videos using Realplayer, where it was set up by "Download the Video". I had no trouble with Flashplayer 11.4, although I had the same problem with Flashplayer 11.3.

Good comments by Hicks. While I an not as anti-iMovie '08 as many others appear to be, I really agree with both his assessment of the product and some of his distribution ideas. However, rather than the simple 2-tier product recommendation he presented, I would personally like to see a renamed version of the current iMovie '08 product be distributed as a free application to users and keep all of the DV based editors as a part of the current 3-tier iLife (which can be purchased by users who wish more editing/plug-in compatibility at a moderate price but are not willing to invest the money or time to use of FCE), FCE "prosumer", and FCE/Studio true profession editing packages purchased according to individual user needs.
As we have seen in the past, innovations introduced by FCE frequently filter their way down to lower level software as enhancements over time. In addition, we have also seen a number of the new iMovie '08 developments being adapted to other applications as the means and processes are developed to do so. Frankly, I am curious to see where all these new innovations may lead given the opportunity for further development.

I can't download photos and videos from my iphone

Hi,
I have iPhone 4 with iOS 5. Can't download photos and videos from my iphone because my PC doesn't see it. Also my camera roll doesn't show right thumbnails and when i open a photo it shows it in low resolution. Only after i start editing it shows the photo itself in original resolution. iTunes recognises my phone but freezes on back up. When i updated my phone to ios 5 everything was wiped clear and i lost all of data that was in it. Please help me, i do not want to lose my data again.
I plugged it in to another pc (win7) but no files in DCIM.

appears to be one of the bugs associated with ios 5 that need to be worked out. (i had a problem where I had music on my phone, the phone didn't recognize the music but the computer could find it)
While I don't know how to fix the immediate problem, I have a workaround that will get you past this if you are willing...
My suggestion is to turn on icloud and photostream on your iphone, and download and install the icloud control panel on your pc found here
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
take a "picture" (quickly press the home button and lock button at the same time) of each picture on your device so they show up in your camera roll and will sync to your photostream cloud. This will in turn cause your pc to download the photos from your photostream cloud via the icloud control panel. Your photos will be on your computer, and you will never have to sync your phone to get photos off your iphone again.

I can't download videos to realplayer; they always read "unable to download"
