Cannot view videos in you tube or The Daily Show

I cannot view any videos with you tube. Neither can I view the videos on the Daily Show (which I get using the Modify Headers plug in) The all worked marvellously only a few days ago. I checked the Java is up to date, I have cleared the cache, restarted and tried again. I can see the videos on googlechrome, I can see the page but the video gets "there was an error, try again later" (you tube) the Daily show just does not finish loading the video part of the screen - but I get the websites. This is recent. what happened? how do I get it back?

If you can't get Flash 11.3 to work and need to revert to Flash 11.2 then you can download the Flash 11.2 player via this direct link:

Can not view videos on you tube in firefox4 using flash player11

I'm using firefox 4 and i can not view videos on you tube.I've updated and reinstalled adobe flash player twice with no results.I've also tried the other checks,security blocking,cache,pop ups etc Works fine on IE. Hope someone has a solution.I've always liked firefox but not the newer versions and many of the changes;

I can't believe you're still running Firefox 4. Why not a newer version?
There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (12-13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
- Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
- Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions
Does any of that appear promising?

How does one update Flash? I currently cannot watch videos on You Tube, it says I need to upgrade, I have no problem doing this on a PC.

If you're not using chrome you can just go to adobe's website (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/) and download the newest flash player. You run the .dmg and then open the application, which updates flash. With the latest version of flash there should be a preference pane within system preferences to allow you to change settings and check for updates.

Why do I see "Blocked Plug-Ins" when I try to play a video - this is generally on the BBC News website. I haven't tried elsewhere.

I have an old Mac 2009.

Hello alymarvellous,
Take a look at the article linked below, it provides information about the plug-in alert that you’re seeing when browsing specific websites on your iMac.
Safari 8 (Yosemite): Safari troubleshooting
Problems with plug-ins
If a webpage has trouble showing plug-in content such as video, you may see a placeholder with a button that describes a plug-in problem. For example, the plug-in might be old, missing, or blocked.
Try clicking the placeholder button to resolve the problem.
For more information, see If a plug-in is missing and If a website has plug-in content.
Cheers,

I downloaded and installed firefox 5, but uninstalled it because it is not conpatible with Real Player video downloader. I cannot download videos from You tube or other sites with Firefox 5. How can I resolve this problem? ooader

I use Real Player to play music and videos. I also download videos from You Tube and from other sites thru Real Player which is compatible with Firefox 4.0.1, but not with Firefox 5. Please tell me why?

Firefox 4.0.1 has been an unsafe browser since the release of Firefox 5. So please don't use it.
Real hasn't made Real Player Browser Plugin compatible with Firefox 5.

Is anyone else having to reload adobe to view videos on you tube after installing Mavericks?

Every so often I get a message that says adobe is out of date. After reloading 4 times now, the videos on You Tube still do not work.
Is this a mavericks issue?

I'm running Mavericks & couldn't get Flash Player to work, all I got was a white video screen. Tried every that I read, downloaded Flash Player to Safari, Firefox & Chrome to no avail. Don't know why, but I decided to check my DNS & IP address, I had at one time added a proxy server & I think I may have messed up. Well all I did was google my "internet server's name & what is my IP Address". Up came the server's name with an IP address & a secondary one. I deleted the address that was in my network settings & added the two new addresses I was given, Wow!!!!!! it was magic, Flash Player was back in all three browers. Just go into System Preference click on Network go to Advanced click on DNS & do what I did, I read that IP Addresses change sometimes, so good luck it should work.

Your Flash plugin is quite older. You need to update it.

When I try to play a video from facebook or you tube it says blocked plug in

When I try to play a video from Facebook or Youtube, it says blocked plug in. How do I unblock this?

I wonder why the download doesn't last very long.
Flash has a reputation of being really sloppily written, and full of Hacks (which are potential places to cause problems). Mac OS X blocks outdated versions automatically when a better one becomes available.
Update Flash Player (using its own Control Panel) or download ONLY from this site:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
The current version at this writing is 16.0.0.235, (but may be different by the time you read this).

Why do I get "missing plug-in" when I try to play apple video tutorial?

I tried to watch a Video Tutorial from Apple's website, Support, but when I click on the video, it says "missing plug-in". Then I click on the line that says "when trouble viewing videos, click here" (right next to the Q for Quicktime) and i get a message that says "Quicktime is already part of your Mac". I checked to make sure I have the latest update of Quicktime, and I do.
Other plug-in "help tips" say that I should "get a plug in" but don't say WHERE to get it, or WHICH ONE to get.
Other articles say to "check the website to see which plug-in you need", but don't tell you how or where to check on the website??
HELP
It feels like I'm going in a loop and all "answers" that i find already assume that I know what I need.....

If you have got the DivX plug-in, remove it using the uninstaller (Applications > DivX

Cannot see video in you tube . Area to view remains black. can see selections but when I chose nothing happens

http://youtu.be/E2FEux4RjBE this is just one site I could not see. I cannot play the video of any site I visit. If I go to youtube using internet explorer all the videos work fine. Do I have something disabled in firefox?

Works like a charm -- you get to this settings menu by right clicking on the Flash component that's not working and choosing "Settings".

Suddenly i cannot load videos from you tube and some other locations, although I can load then using CHROME

The problem is that all of a sudden, I cannot load and see videos from youtube and some other sites.
When I ask to see something from youtube for example, the appropriate page opens, and in the place that the video was supposed to be loaded, I see a black screen and nothing happens.
I scanned the computer and found nothing.
I uninstalled firefox and installed it again.
The problem stays.
I browsed using CHROME and I have no problem. i can see everything perfectly.
This happened suddenly today.

Could they be viewed ... and used ... by QuickTime Player?
Installing the Perian codec component package will normally allow FLV file containers to be played in QT players. However, it might be more helpful here if you could provide a specific YouTube URL (and resolution if applicable) of interest to check out. While I previously indicated content was typically converted to FLV, MP4 files may also be used and content may compressed as H.264/AAC in either container which, of course, should already be QT compatible without additional support.
Could anything be done about improving video quality?
That depends. If the file you are interested in is available in multiple resolutions, then downloading the highest available resolution would provide the best starting point for iMovie editing. If compressed content is already in an iMovie compatible compression format, then it might be possible to copy the content to an iMovie compatible file container (if not already in one) and thus avoid transcoding the data before import to iMovie. However, you still have the potential for some visual quality loss after editing when you export the finished project from iMovie.
