I watched a video on my iphone, and it worked fine. 
I wanted to watch it on our MacBook for sound and clarity, and every time I accessed it, it locked up. To the point that the only solution was holding down the power button.
Everything else worked, and I could freely enter information and open other Facebook entries, but when hitting the "play" button or clicking on the video it immediately bought up the spinning beach ball, and would never clear. Any solutions?

Did you try viewing the video in a different browser? Firefox or Chrome maybe?

  • My itouch (4th gen.) is frozen. It's stuck on the window show the slid bar. I've tried holding down the sleep/wake button to try and restart or reset, but it is still frozen.

    My itouch (4th generation) has frozen up. It is stuck on the window with the slide bar with shows the time and date (which is the date from 3 days ago, even though it just frozen.  It won't shut down by holding down the sleep wake button on top. (yes, I held it for more than 6 seconds)  And obviously, I can't pull the slid bar over since it is completely frozen.
    BTW, I tried plugging it into the computer and running the diagnostic tests on itunes, but is shows everything is fine.
    What do I try now?

    Try placing the iPod in ecovery mode and then restoring the iPod via iTunes.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Next would beto wait for the battery to fully drain and the charge and try again.

  • Why does my Macbook Pro keep telling me I have to hold down my power button until it shuts down and then restart?, Why does my Macbook Pro keep telling me I have to hold down my power button until it shuts down and then restart?

    While transferring files from one external hard drive to another, my MacBook Pro routinely would freeze and often render a message to hold down the start button until it shut down and then restart. I have i7 why does it keep locking up?

    You can go back to original hardware; run Apple Hardware Test even.
    Remove 3rd party RAM ( much rarer I think )
    USB printers, cables, devices and drivers.
    What changed?

  • I am dual booting my mackbook pro with windows 7 64 bit. Yesterday it started locking up at the disk drive selections screen, when you hold down the "option" butting when powering on. I have been searching all morning, and so far nothing. Thanks. :)

    Hey folks,
    I have been using bootcamp for months now with windows 7 64 bit, and its been fine, yesterday while I was rebooting to do some gaming, at the hard drive selection screen when you boot holding the "options" butting down, it locks up when I select the windows drive and just sits there for ever. It doesn't throw an error, it boots fine into Lion.
    I searched all morning and didn't find anything, was hoping that someone might have an idea.
    Thanks in advance

    Search again. Microsoft has tips on what to do and Windows has a number of features

    Just like you would with OS X Lion and Lion Recovery and Repair
    Use WinClone 3 www.twocanoes.com $20 to make an image just like you would with Disk Utility Restore or Carbon Copy Cloner

    Do you see a mostly black screen with four languages? If so, that's a kernel panic. Usually, it's hardware related, but can also be caused by corrupt software (the OS itself or third party items).

  • Struggling to set up. Need help with pairing Apple TV and the remote. Any guidance, other than holding down the Menu and R buttons?

    I am using Ethernet cable to connect Apple TV. I have connected to Cable TV box as directed by cable provider. I have connected the HDMI cable from TV back to the Apple TV box. Power cord is connected. What am I doing wrong? Remote and Apple TV are not connecting....

    Thanks for sending the link.....unfortunately we are a home without wireless...My phone and iPad use 3G and our TV and Mac computers are connected via Ethernet ....
    That said, my new Apple TV is using Ethernet and I cannot use the app without wireless.
    Thanks for your effort to assist!

  • Help! Illustrator duplicates everything on drag, as if I'm holding down the Option key.

    I have never had this problem before. Whenever I drag an object, it automatically duplicates the object as if I am holding down the Option key. I can move objects with the arrow keys, but if I drag anything with the mouse, it automatically duplicates it.
    Please help as this is impossible to work with. I've restarted the coputer as well as Illustrator multiple times. The issue does not happen in InDesign or Photoshop. Just Illustrator. I'm runnin Mac OSX 10.6.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Thank you for your remply emil! It happens when I create a new document with new objects, and it also happens on already existing documents and objects. Yes, the cursor swithces to the double arrows as if I was holding down the Option key. Nothing wrong with the key itself. IT's not stuck or anything.

  • Power button doesn't work after new update...and that's the least of it

    Ever since I updated my 4S with the new software my phone has had so many problems:
    Power button no longer works. I have to hold both the home button down and the power button to "reset" my phone to turn it off.
    I am having to do this CONSTANTLY b/c my phone freezes up ALL the time. When texting, using maps, other apps. Sometimes I can't get the freaking thing to even unlock. Texting is a disaster. Half the time they don't go through and when my phone freezes up for the millionth time that day and I reset, I later find out that my freaking texts didn't even go through. I HATE THE NEW SOFTWARE HELP!!

    If you are able to hold your home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time to reset the phone, you should be able to power it off just fine...

  • I can no longer hold down the Safari icon on the dock and open a new window

    I noticed after installing Snow Leopard that I am unable to hold down the icon for Safari on my dock and choose the option to open a new window. I have had to revert to (Command-Tabbing) through my open applications to get to Safari, then (Command-N).
    I found it much more convenient to do it the other way. Am I missing something, or is this something that has been removed with the new Snow Leopard operating system?
    Please help. Thanks!

    Thank you. What a pain though. Why would they make it a separate command now. It would be so easy to have kept it in the pop-up that shows when you hold the cursor down on it.

  • My menu bar is gone. Firefox Suggestion was to hold down"The" key and press, V-T-M then release, etc. What is "THE" key?

    '''bold text'''

    Type '''about:customizing'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    In the new window, look for the icon. When you find it, hold down
    the left button on it, and move it to where you want it to be.
    You can move any of the icons you want from here, but
    '''some icons are locked in place.'''

  • HT2213 Holding the power button does not work

    I've got a Mac Pro that stops recognizing my BD-ROM drive after it goes to sleep. I've been trying to reset the PRAM and NVRAM, per applecare's suggestion, but everytime I plug my Mac Pro in, it automatically starts up. I've turned off the "automatically restart" option in System Preferences, but it's as if all of that is stuck! So, I'm trying to reset the firmware using the firmware restoration CD, but when I hold down the "power" button, the computer's LED light flashes much more than three times, the computer gives a non-chime beep, then gives the chime, and then starts up using the Macintosh HD like I'm not holding down the power button.
    Is there another way to get to the point where I can use the firmware restortaion CD? It's driving me crazy. I thought it was because I was plugged into an Uninteruptable Power Supply, but I plugged it into a normal power strip and there was no change.
    Any help?

    the computer's LED light flashes much more than three times, the computer gives a non-chime beep, then gives the chime, and then starts up
    Here's the meaing of the POST chime sequences:
    Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2
    As for the power led, if it is a sequence of single flashes that none of the ram is being detected.  If grouped in a sequence of 3 flashes then a single slot has failed.
    Look inside your machine for any lit diagnostic leds.
    Blow out any accumulated dust.
    Reseat the video card.
    I do not think firmware needs to be changed/updated/reinstalled.

  • HT201263 iPhone not recognized by iTunes and my power button doesn't work

    My iPhone just shut down after a call, battery was around 60%, its power button doesn't work and iTunes doesn't recognize it. I can't put it in DFU mode because that's by pressing home and power simultaneously but I don't have a power button. I can't restores via iTunes because it doesn't recognize it. What am I supposed to do?!!

    Same thing happened to me today...when googling found people having same problem with iphone 4 and said to hold power and home buttons to reboot.  It worked! I was in a panic but its like it never happened...everything is as it was before. Even showed a missed call...

  • Itunes plays music as if I was holding down fast forward

    I just downloaded the newest version of itunes and when you begin listening to music it starts off okay but about half way through a song it starts playing it as if I was holding down the fast forward button...anyone else experiencing this problem?

    hmmmm. given that you've got a Dell, we'd better check on the possibility from the following document:
