I want to watch a video from a site and all I see is a little blue box

Why is it that when I'm on a site that has some video to watch (i.e. news)...all I see is a little-biddy blue box with a question mark on it where the video should be? I tap and tap but no video...what is that little blue box with a question mark on it...is my video being blocked.
And while I'm on it...sometimes I'm on a site and I tap the "link" but it doesn't open the link up...just kinda refreshes the page and goes back to where I was...like it didn't open up at all...no extra page, no nut'n.
Just curious,
Thanks

Seems like I do wait for the page to fully load but sometimes these sites have "auto-refresh" on and that may bug it up a bit...but I do remember zooming in and tapping with a good tap and all it does is refresh the page I was already on. Not a biggy since I can eventually check it on my desktop later, but was curious if I was the only one having this problem. Thanks so much.

    If you look at the preferences for Flashblock (access from the extensions window of the add-ons manager) and choose Whitelist, you can add a site to that window, and that site will not be blocked by Flashblock at all. You will not even see the Flashblock icon.

    Contact Apple customer service by sending an email through the Contact Us link at the bottom of the Apple.com iTunes support page. Let them know you want to cancel an iTunes account and they'll contact you for further information. However, note that if you choose this option, it may also hinder your ability to access the purchases you've previously made, particularly on computers that weren't authorized before you cancelled the account.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's fairly certain it's your local network. Why are you trying to mirror something you already have on the Apple TV.

  • I'm running 10.6.8 on Mac and Firefox 28. Most embedded videos on random sites and all on Upworthy and Youtube show as a black box. I've deleted cookies and

    I've deleted cache and cookies. I've seen all the real player threads (isn't that Windows, anyway?) and they didn't help.
    I'm running the most updated java and quicktime I can. I ran FIrefox in safe mode. I reset it and added back quick time, silverlight, java, shockwave, flipformac, and adblock plus. No difference with them disabled.
    Is this because I'm on a 32 bit processor? I can use chrome for some sites to see videos. Safari is a disaster, don't even get me started. I'm trying to hang on until I upgrade but find I can see hardly any videos anymore. I love firefox and want to keep using it. Thanks!

    There have been issues reported with the 13.0.0.182 version of the Flash plugin crashing on some older Mac computers due to the compiler generating incompatible code.
    The only way to recover is to uninstall the Flash 13 version and revert to an older Flash version and wait for Adobe to release an update that addresses this issue.
    * http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    You can either install the latest Flash 11.7 version that has the latest security updates (may not work with Safari) or the last Flash 12 version that didn't get the security updates Flash 13 has.

    PLEASE HELP ME I AM FACING A PROBLEM
    My name is Ameer.
    I watch youtube videos from ipad2 ( safari )
    today for my first time, when i run a video and i want to pause it, i touch the screen where the video is playing to reach the pause botton that is located on a bar under the video which appears when i touch the screen. Today every time i touch the screen nothing happens and i cannt pause the video nor adjusting its quality.
    So plese help me fixing this problem as soon as posible.
    Regards

    Same problem on my ipad mini, running ios 6.0.2.
    A bit more info:
    -tried using YouTube in Safari on another ipad. Worked fine.
    Tried reboot (sleep + home buttons for 15 seconds). Didn't fix.
    -tried logging out of my YouTube account, thinking the problem was tied to my settings. Didn't fix.
    -tried uninstalling all apps I downloaded since the last time YouTube worked properly. Didn't fix.
    -tried watching a video in desktop mode. Can tap video screen to bring up pause okay in that mode.
    There are work arounds, but the thing I want to know is why YouTube doesn't work in Safari as of a couple of days ago, and is it indicative of another more serious problem with my ipad.

  • Watching music videos from iPad to tv

    I have a new Vizio Razor LED LCD HDTV and want to watch music videos I've purchased from iTunes currently located on my iPad on the TV.  The TV has a USB port.  Is there any way I can copy the files to a jump drive?  I don't want to hook my iPad up directly to the TV because I'm working.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  This TV is also wirelessly connected to a router.
    Thanks

    No. You need one of the cable listed her:

    (the Digital AV, VGA, Component or Composite ones)

    I have mac pro and firefox 3.0.19
    I am trying to download a video from youtube.?
    I can see the video. I want to download it and save in my computer to see it again.
    I have download helper. While the 3 red,blue,and yellow sphere are turning, It gives me the choice of place to save,and when I click and choose desktop , for example, this message comes ."Conversion requires an external application that appears to be missing on your system. Configure conversion ?
    When I click on okay, another page comes, which says" converter and a box next to it . in the box is written FFMpeg. but I can change it to MEncoder. In another box, says configure conversion rules. When I click on it, nothing happen.Thanks for your help.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I want to download a video from youtube

    No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
    "This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
    Configure conversion ?"
    And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

  • When ever I try to watch any video, from a link or YouTube say, using Firefox, I get a message 'An error as occurred. Please try again later'. It has been this way for some weeks. I don't have this problem using Safari or Opera.

    I believe that our “Werbung problem” adds an additional second hyperlink to the pop-up window. This second link is activated whenever you trigger a saved hyperlink to a Mail.com site.
    I had the same problem and eliminated it by deleting all bookmarks, hyperlinks and automatic links that take firefox to a mail.com address. So I just deleted all bookmarks I had saved for mail.com. I also changed my home page link because it also went to my email at mail.com. I then did a warm boot, opened firefox and re-saved my bookmarks and homepage to the desired addresses. Good luck.

  • I have a problem with youtube...i can't watch some videos from youtube! They stop after few seconds of playing!! what can i do to fix it?

    I have a problem with youtube...i can't watch some videos from youtube! They stop after few seconds of playing!! what can i do to fix it??

    Try loading the same video in different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer are your best options). If the issue is across all of them, make sure you've downloaded the latest version of Flash at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    If it's still stopping after that...Do the tried and tested method for everything: reset your router.

  • I want to delete a video from iTunes

    I want to delete a video from iTunes> On This Phone > Movies. I have unsynced the movie so movie is in grey box but I cannot delete it using delete button. When I go back to List, I cannot find this video under Movies nor on my iphone. Why is this so? I am a PC user. Can someone help me? I really want to remove this movie from iTunes totally.

    Hello there, Jasxteo.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides the steps for deleting content you've downloaded from iTunes:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    To delete Movies from your iPhone:
    iPhone or iPod touch
    Tap the Videos app.
    Swipe left over the movie you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.
    If you perform the steps on your computer:
    Mac or PC
    Open iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Movies.
    Click Movies in the navigation bar.
    Click the movie you want to delete.
    Press Delete on your keyboard.
    In iTunes 11 or later, the movie cover art will remain visible, but a Download icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Cannot watch any videos from Youtube

    I bought a EA3500 router and the setup went fine. I have two computers on the network and both have acces to the Internet. But on one of them which runs Windows 7 and MCAfee Antivirus I cannot watch any videos from Youtube. On the other one which runs Windows XP all videos are running great. I've check the firmware version and it is the last one. I've try to disable the firewall in McAfee and it still does not work. Can someone help me. Thank you Artofmontreal

    Are you still on the classic firmware or are you using cisco connect cloud? It might have something to do with the media prioritization.  As long as you did not prioritize a certain device or computer over another, the router should allow all devices to stream.

  • Way is it when i want to watch a video, all i see is a sigh that says "blocked plug-in" ?

    when i want to watch a video all i see is this "blocked plug-ins" what are plug-ins?

    A plug-in is something like Adobe Flash Player or Microsoft Silverlight
    Since you provide zero computer and browser information, and also no information on what KIND of video you want to watch, anything else is a complete guess
