I used to be able to watch videos on netflix on my ipad or open videos on facebook. Nowthey try to open, but never open

used to be able to watch videos on netflix or facebook, but neither will open now, how do I fix this?

My guess is that they recently changed how the videos work. I logged in on my MacBook and the stream worked fine, but it is Flash content in a JW Player video player. From what I see on the website. This video player works with html5 as well as Flash so I'm not sure why it isn't working, unless the site has not updated the content for html5 and is only using Flash right now. But you should get the message on the iPad that the content is in Flash and can't be viewed on the iPad.
I tried it with three different browsers identifying as mobile and as desktop browsers and I get the same results as you no matter what I do. So my assumption is that the site content was recently changed and it has to be updated. But that is just a guess.
The message about the website having issues when I used iCab Mobile and identified as a desktop browser. The issue has to be on their end.

Anyone know which app to use to be able to watch Live Stat sports on the iPad?

Anyone know which app to use to be able to watch Live Stat sports on the iPad?

No, Safari (and iOS in general) doesn't support the flash add on. Never has. If the source doesn't have an app, you could try one of the flash enabled apps in the apps store: iSwifter and Puffin are two I've heard mentioned, but there are others.. They may or may not work with that particular site, and you will want ot rad the descriptions carefully. They essentially stream the flash content to a third server to convert and send back to you.

I'm using an older iMac G5 (PowerPC) with Firefox and MacOs 10.5.8. I no longer am able to watch video clips because Firefox recently auto-updated to 3.6.24; is there an older version of FireFox that would work with my PowerPC, and where do I find it

I used to be able to watch video clips off a streaming website, but it's been getting more difficult and now it no longer works. I suspect that my older Power PC G5 Mac is not compatible with the newer Firefox version of 3.6.24. I suspect that if I used an older version of Firefox with my system, I could get back to watching video clips. Would this work, and if so, where can I download an earler version of Firefox that would be compatible with my Mac and MacOs 10.5.8?

You might want to consider extending the lifespan of your G5 by using a different operating system. I put [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu Lubuntu] on a G5 recently and it runs the newest Firefox just fine. Lubuntu (pronounced Loo-boon-two) is sort of an Ubuntu lite - a user-friendly version of Linux. There are many applications to choose from, and it's all free.
The PowerPC I did this on was one of the old Bondi Blue ones. Firefox had no problem running on it at all and has all plug-ins needed for video, audio, etc.. I gave it to a church and it's running fine for them.
You can download old versions of Firefox, but you'll just open yourself up to security problems if you do.
FYI: The Mac operating system is built on Linux.

I can't watch shopnbc on my iPad from their website. I used to be able to watch it live, but now it says error loading file. Help?

Having issues with watching shopnbc live, from their website, on my iPad 4. I used to be able to watch it live, but for some reason, when I select the play button, it tells me "error loading file" . That's it. Anyone know a fix for this, or what may be going on here?

HT1657 Hi, at the moment I can only seem to watch a rented movie once - previously I used to be able to watch it as many times as I liked during the 48hr window. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi, at the moment I can only seem to watch a rented movie once - previously I used to be able to watch it as many times as I liked during the 48hr window. Anyone else have this problem?

This doesn't seem right.
I paid for a rental and downloaded an HD movie, Avatar. I could start watching within about a minute, it played without skipping a beat.
My wife started watching the movie the next night and got about half way through.
The next day, she tried watching the rest, and selected the film and clicked on "resume watching".
But instead of streaming and playing like it should, we got the spinning wheel of death followed by a message "Ready to play in 1 minute" which soon became "Ready to play in 2351 minutes"!
Additional information that I can add is that it was Sunday afternoon which is peak time for internet usage and I'd just exhausted my data allowance before the speed limiting kicks in. Basic internet using browsers at that time was really slow.
So it was as though the movie we were going to resume watching was going to be downloaded from the iTunes Store again, and since my connection had been speed limited, it was going to take forever. I thought you downloaded a rental to your hard drive and it deleted itself after it expired? So any subsequent streaming to AppleTV would be coming direct from your hard drive. It shouldn't have been affected by the speed of my internet connection at that time, surely. Anyone else experienced this?
Actually, I just noticed this post, I'm sure it's related...:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12398832&#12398832

I had this problem but found that I needed to change the security setting in Safari for plug-ins

Hope this helps.

We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away. Now it takes hours. Is there a setting to change?

We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away. Now it takes hours. Is there a setting to change? They used to start playing after a few minutes of starting the download but not now. What's up?

Pat, I've been experiencing this issue intermittently for weeks. It seems to occur with HD content --including HD trailers --exclusively. Tonight has been no exception.
I have done considerable troubleshooting to try and isolate the cause. My results suggest that Apple's servers are to blame but I've not seen many others reporting this issue in these forums lately.
I live only 170 miles from Apple's North Carolina server farm. I assume my iTunes rentals are being fed from there. My broadband connection is a fast one (30Mb down) and consistently tests near that speed when this issue occurs.
I have both a first and second generation AppleTV. When this issue occurs, I will change devices and rent the same movie to see if th device itself is to blame. The issue affects both. I have tried using an ethernet connection instead of my Airport Extreme's 5Ghz wireless connection but that does not remedy the issue.
So... my broadband connection is more than capable, my router is performing optimally (I recently had my local Apple Store test it as well), and neither of my AppleTV's is immune to the issue, so... it must be on the delivery end.
Unfortunately, Apple does not post the status of their iTunes Store's servers like they did with their MobileMe servers. They should. In fact, the AppleTV should display a status message when Apple's iTunes servers are experiencing technical difficulties or heavy network traffic.
I was an early adopter of AppleTV. It has not been problematic until now. This is trying my patience. My advice is that you request a refund everytime this happens. I do.
I am taking this matter to the VP of iTunes services. If Apple's servers are choking, or if their streams are being throttled by ISP's, or internet TV is too ambitious for this country's internet infrastructure, I deserve to know.

I'm not too sure what is wrong. I use to be able to watch my HD shows and movies on iTunes with my Macbook pro, but now I can't. Help?

Yeah. Like the question states. I use to be able to watch my TV Shows and Movies in HD, but now it ain't working and I blame Maverick!!! UGH! LOL But anything helpful to suggest? That'd be awesome.

I apologize for the confusion. This was literally the only option on Apple's "Contact Us" section that I was able to access. I assumed that Apple's clear intent to have me go here instead of speaking with someone in live time, and the fact this is on the Apple website, meant I could get some advice... Both over the phone and online they require information I need to see my screen to provide so those are not options. I tried to bypass this when calling through Skype. Some lady who didn't know what was going on, who I waited a good while to speak with, put me on hold; I gave up after 30minutes of waiting to speak to somebody again.
I've stumbled upon a few tricks to help me get through this problem, but I'm at a loss. I need this phone to work until late December. I need more tricks. So yes, it's worth understanding. Knowing what is going on will let me Google it and work with it, if nobody here is willing to help...
And yes, it IS a glitchy phone. It has been a glitchy phone for a long time. Long before this. But completely unrelated issues. I was assuming this wasn't just a glitch but something maybe somebody could help me understand.

What happens when you try?
Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

What can i do then i watch video it is interapted in each minute, but continue then i use mouse

When i watch video on different sites, it always stoped, but i hear sound, the video continue only when i move mouse, what is the problem?

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

I used to be able to download temple run onto my iPod 2nd generation. I then had to restore the iPod but now I can't re-download temple run onto it. It says you need a higher ios number. Is there anything I can do to get it back?

I used to be able to download temple run onto my iPod 2nd generation. I then had to restore the iPod but now I can't re-download temple run onto it. It says you need a higher ios number. This is the same with many other apps as well and not just temple run. Is there anything I can do to get them back?

So, you need an older version of the iOS app, because the current version no longer works on your iPod touch.
If you do regular backups of your hard drive (as you should), such as by using Apple's built-in Time Machine (if you use a Mac), you may find the older version of the app in the backup archive, and restore it (replacing the newer version). They are stored in the iTunes Media folder, in the Mobile Applications sub-folder. You should then be able to sync the older version to your iPod touch.
I can't think of any other way to get it back...
NOTE: An 2nd gen iPod touch can run up to iOS 4.2.1. If your iPod touch is running something earlier, and that is why the app no longer works, you can also consider updating the iPod's iOS.
I use an even older iPhone (original). I avoid this potential problem by aways updating its apps on the iPhone, not in iTunes on the computer. When I do it on the iPhone, it will not download a newer version of an app that won't run on my old iPhone.

Need some help being able to stream movies. I use to be able to watch Netflicks - streaming. However, I now cannot. The message I get is: plug in failure. Can anyone give a tip on how to correct this?

Up until recently I was able to watch Netflicks movies thru streaming. I now received a error message: plug in failure. Can anyone suggest how I can correct this?

I had the same problem. I checked with Netflix and they told me to uninstall and reinstall the silverlight? plug in. We went through several versions of this. Long story short, nothing worked, but it DID run just fine on other users on the same machine. a couple of months later, BAM it suddenly works perfectly again. Netflix blames Apple, Apple blames netflix... who knows...
Here's my advice: download the Silverlight or whatever it's called plugin and do the uninstall, then reinstall. If that works, great!
If not, make up a new user and see if netflix plays from that account. If so, you have a workaround that is tedious, but at least lets you watch your movies! Someday in the future,it might just start working again.

I would like to watch videos on my tv from my mac, but no hdmi connection on my mac. Is there a usb/hdmi cable available to my mac?

I would like to connect my MacBook Pro to my tv to watch videos, but I only have a usb connection on the laptop. Is there an adapter to go from usb to hdmi for the mac?

You will need a cable such as this for video:
http://www.amazon.com/Mini-DisplayPort-HDMI-Adapter-Cable/dp/B003OC6LWM
This will be attached to the minidisplay port.
For audio, you will need a cable such as this:
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Audio-Cable-Splitter-1-Mini/dp/B00004Z5CP
This will be attached to the audio output port.
Ciao.

I used to be able to see how many emails I had on my toolbar next to the envelope but now it doesn't show & I can't figure how to change it. Help!

That feature is not built into Firefox, in fact Firefox has no email features. Check your add-ons to see if any of them offer this feature.
