I cannot play some video clips on Facebook. why is that

Some video clips on Facebook require flash player down load. When I try to see the same clips on IPAD. i can not, and I get a message that Apple doesn't allow flash player down load on Apple devices. Is there another way to see those clips

Probably not. Other web sites, like YouTube, provide video in HTML5 as an alternative so that you can watch them on any mobile device. Facebook does not provide an alternative at this time, so their videos don't play. It is annoying, but it will be this way until Facebook does what other sites do. (The fix is not to add Flash to the iPad, since Adobe has announced the cancellation of all future development of Flash on mobile devices.)

JDunlop,
thanks for your quick reply to my java.sun.com forum posting! i just got back from vacation, so i didn't get a chance to try your method til now. i pulled your email address off the website to update you on my problem playing an avi file in JMStudio (JMF).
as per your instructions, i downloaded the divx player at www.divx.com and tried to play the avi file. this is the error the divx player gives:
Divx Player 2.1
The file contains unknown video data
The file contains the following type of data:
Video data: FOURCC code "MP42"
You may need to install a new video codec on your computer to watch this video
Some quick questions:
1. Where could I find the "MP42" codec to play my avi file in JMStudio (JMF)? Does java.sun.com have video codecs?
2. You mentioned in your posting "If you don't have the one that was used in the encoding, your out of luck." Does this mean that I need to know how the avi file was originally coded and have the original codec to decode (play) it?
Thanks,
lac410
P.S. If you need more Duke Dollars for your help, I'd be happy to award them to you.

sounds to me like you are missing a video codecs. If you don't have the one that was used in the encoding, your out of luck. Download the player from divx.com, it will tell you which codecs the video needs (if it won't play). You can then search the net for that particular codecs.

I cannot play a video .mov file in Photoshop Elements 12, it shows as a blank white screen

I cannot play a video file (.mov) in Adobe Photoshop Elements, only can hear sound, and shows as a blank white screen.

Margie
Thanks for the replies.
I did some homework on your camera, and it appears to be recording H.264 video compression, Linear PCM Stereo, with a .mov file extension.
Let us do a check list to make sure we agree on the details...
a. You cannot play back the video in the Elements Organizer 12
b. Can you import this video into Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace with the program's Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets? Does it then show up in Project Assets with an image in the thumbnail? Can you drag the video from Project Assets to the Timeline and have the Edit Mode monitor display that video and play it back there when you hit the monitor play button?
From what I have read of your camera, you could be recording 1920 x 1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second. Can you supply an information on that? What are you or the project setting as the project preset (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio.)
Could you explain what you mean by
and can play it in the video editor, but it just shows the frames, not a real video play.
I am searching the Internet to see if I can find a sample file that I can download.
More later.

Cannot play Flash video in Chrome 64bit

I cannot play Flash videos in Facebook when I upgraded my Google Chrome on Windows 8.1 to the latest 64bit v.37 and Flash player to v.15 . The error message was "Can't load plug-in". I enabled Flash players in the plugin section, reinstall Chrome. Nothing worked until I "downgraded" my Google Chrome to 32bit. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Rebooted Windows and it is working. Note to self : It is good to reboot the system after a few weeks.

FCPX 10.1: why is some video clips shown with a connected clip icon ?

Hi there,
I have finally updated to 10.1
But after conversion, in the browser, why are there some video clips shown with a connected clip icon ? And it doesn't play ?
Any ideas ?
Thanks

The edited project was 60 seconds making up an intricate title sequence involving 24 video segments and 48 png/ PSD files. Had a brain storm and was wondering if there is anyway the the project could move to another event so currently going through all the event folders on my FCPX edit drive. I just can't see how a project can just vanish.
Thanks for your suggestion.

I just purchased this machine ,in i photo i can not play my video clips

I just purchased this beautifull machine

Hi Alexander,
Could you describe your issue in more detail?
You've imported the contents of your camera into iPhoto, some of which are video clips. However, when you try to play the video clips, you get an error. Is that correct?

Cannot play any videos I need helpmplease.

My system is: Windows 64-bit , English, MSIE and have now successfully installed Adobe Flash Player update 17 but I cannot play any videos, news sites or Utube etc. can someone help me fix this please.

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Cannot play any videos

I cannot play any videos using firefox. This is a new problem that did not exist last month. Installed latest firefox upgrades, no help. Uninstalled firefox and then reinstalled, did not help. Installed latest flash, did not help. Been dealing with the problem at least last week.

There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

Takes too long buffering on you tube, cannot see some videos at all.

Takes too long buffering on Youtube, cannot see some videos at all. Have gone out of youtube and come back in again. have restarted the computer several times. Have come back later and tried again with the same results.

I don't have this problem - but a bunch of other people have youtube problems since upgrading to Yosemite.Yosemite 10.10.1 causing Safari not to play YouTube videos...

After upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer or even off my iTunes library

after upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer, love film or even directly off my iTunes library. in each case, all i get is a black screen and no error message.

Hi, i had the same problem and tried this,
Somehow iTunes is tied to Safari. Try this:
Someone mentioned to clear all website data and history in safari, stupid but it was either this or the below that fixed it
or this,
Disable Wi-Fi Networking Services
Many users have reported that they’ve solved their issues by disabling Wi-Fi Networking under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. This only relates to your location being used for Wi-Fi Networking, so it doesn’t disable Wi-Fi entirely.
Please let me know if it works.

I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which not longer exists and I don't know the password. HOw can I get them authorized to my new email address and password?

I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which no longer exists and I don't remember the password. How can I get these tunes transferred to my new email address and password?

In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
Thanks for your help.

Why I cannot play a video in Photoshop Elements 12

I cannot play a video .mov file in Photoshop Elements 12

The Photoshop Elements Editor can't play video files. The Organizer can, but only if they are supported formats. Formats like AVI, MOV, and others are not true formats but containers. The video within them could be encoded by any one of a vast number of codecs. You can find out with the free utilities GSpot or MediaInfo (Google them). Certainly GoPro and MJPEG can cause problems for Elements.
For more help, once you know the format of your problem files, you'd be better off posting your question in the Premiere Elements forum.
Cheers,
Neale

My iPod mini, 4gb is hard to get serviced obviously because they dont make them anymore
It is as simple to get it serviced as the day you purchased it.
How is it hard to get it serviced?
How long have you had your iPod?
i get maybe 4-5 hours of battery life, maybe even 6 if im lucky
That is not good but it's not "terrible".
If you've had it less than a year, send it back to Apple to replace the battery.
thought that i might buy an attachment type accesorie that i plug into the usb port on my ipod
It's called a dock connector, not a USB port.
i found a product in the online store, that i guess you place the ipod mini on, and it gives you up to 20 or so more hours of time but then it says that you have to have a firewire port or cable?
What is it? The firewire port is on the computer, not the iPod.
If the original battery is going bad, the first thing to do is get that sorted out.
