IPhoto '11 no longer plays any video

Hello, I"ve searched the forum and not yet found a solution to this problem. I recently upgraded to OS X Lion and iLife '11. I am running iPhoto 9.2.1. on my Macbook Pro and iMac and can no longer play any videos in iPhoto. iMovie seems to be plagued byt the same issue. I remember having to delete a couple files from the Library when I upgraded iPhoto. The files were 3ivx files.
Can anyone please help me or point me to the solution elsewhere in this forum.
Many thanks,
Tim

First try installing Perian and see if that fixes it. If not then look in your Home/Library/Quicktime folder to see if there's a 3ivx plugin there. If there is remove it. It's not compatible with Lion and usually crashes iPhoto. With that in mind I doubt you'll find the plugin.

30GB 5G Ipod no longer plays any video -HELP!

I have a 5G ipod purchased toward the end of 2005. It always worked great until I went to play a video the other day. My ipod crashes every time I try to play any video, whether downloaded from itunes, homemade, anything. This isn't an issue of needing to turn the TV-Out setting off. I've tried restoring, reverting to previous firmwares (from 1.2.1 to 1.1.2 and 1.0, using itunes 7.2), formatting and restoring, everything I've seen on forums everywhere. It used to play video just fine, so I'm completely at a loss. If I select a video through the audio podcast area, it will play the audio portion. When I try to play videos properly, the screen stays blank and no longer accepts input - I have to reset the ipod. I know that I'm out of warranty so I'm probably boned, aren't I?

I just purchased my 30gb video iPod, and am running into almost the exact same situation. The only difference is that I don't have to reset it. It just won't play a movie at all. It starts the little "timer" thing that clicks around, but then goes back out of the movie. I know the movie is a good download, because I can watch it from start to finish within iTunes.
Anyone got any ideas? I really don't want to stay on hold for 1-2 hours waiting on a person to talk to with tech support!

Apple TV no longer plays any video, just clocks with loading icon

My Apple TV was working fine until about 2 weeks ago. I have CenturyLink high speed ( up to 40MB) internet connection, I can run a speed test on my iphone from the same room and get 32MB download speeds. Apple TV connectivity test shows successful on > 10MB test.
I can not play any video content, I can browse Netflix and YouTube menus and select movies or clips, but when I try to play it will clock continuously. On YouTube it will error out eventually, on Netflix it clocks indefinitely.
Did the last update break my Apple TV?
I've tried restarting, resetting and every other suggestion I have found on the web, even replaced the HDMI cable, but nothing works. This was working fine before and I hadn't made any changes prior to it not working any longer.
Please help.

AFter more searches through the Apple Forum, I found the response below for kplandiles. I updated the firmware on my Centurylink C2000T wireless router and now I am able to play video again!!

Dec 24, 2013 6:29 AM (in response to M3mark)
Seems like this has been going around. I had the same issue for days and it turned out that I had to update the firmware on my ISPs modem/router. If you have recently changed ISPs or upgraded your internet service then there might be an issue there. My WiFi is through CenturyLink and their Prism TV service.
Apps like Netflix would function correctly up to the point where they actually try to load the video. After waiting and waiting for the video to load it would eventually time out and offer the "Cant connect - try again later" message. Youtube, PBS, ABC, NBC, TWC, etc. would all time out. Even ITunes Radio failed to connect.
I cant tell you what specifically on the firmware upgrade fixed the problem, though. I had rebooted the router several times without success. I even turned off the firewall on the router to insure that there was no blocking, No joy. Prism TV uses the Technicolor C2000T and that device needed an update.
I joke that CenturyLink intentionally blocked my streaming content so that I could only watch Prism TV and use their "On-Demand" video service. I actually rented a movie on Prism this weekend only because I could not watch what I really wanted to watch on Netflix.
I feel your pain.

Iphoto 08 no longer plays movies/video clips.

For a month or so now, IPhoto 08 has stopped playing video clips. They seem to import as usual, but when i click the thumbnails for video clips, nothing happens. They used to work fine. Please help. I am using snow leopard too.

I had the same problem with my videos after transferring them from my old imac running iPhoto 08 and leopard into my new imac running iPhoto 09 with snow leopard. What worked for me was moving all the videos out of the iphoto library and into a new folder. Make sure their gone from iphoto or you'll end up with duplicates. Select one of the video files from the finder window and press command-i to get info. Uncheck the box that reads "locked" and reimport the file into iphoto. Now when I double click the file in iphoto it opens quicktime x and plays the file just like its supposed to. Try it with one video first and if it works you can do all the videos. Hope this helps

Ipad will no longer play any videos on any site. Switch to photon and it plays. These are not flash vids!

On safari I have a long list of blogs of news that I have viewed daily for years. About to weeks ago. These apparent you tube embeds now say this video cannot be viewed. Since these sites haven't changed all at once I downloaded photon and they all play. Yes I know photon has a flash player but I don't have to activate it it just plays. Further if I track to you tube with the YouTube app the same video will play. All of these sites could not have switched to flash at the same time. Any ideas?

Where are watching these videos? Through Safari, or on the You Tube app that was pre-installed on your iPad from day one? If the later and you all of the sudden can't watch previously viewable video, I'd recommend you reboot your iPad. Press and hold the power buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar) until the Apple logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
If you could view these through You Tube via Safari, go into settings > safari > clear cookes > clear cache
Then try again........

IPad no longer playing ANY type of video after 8.3 upgrade

My iPad mini can no longer play ANY video. I have tried various movies/tv shows from my library and directly from iTunes. When I play a video, I get the following message "This operation could not be completed. An unknown error occurred (-16710).
I have tried several things including reboot, reset, reset all settings, and a full wipe and restore. No dice. This baby is dead in the water.
Any ideas?

Are you playing the DVD via Front Row or on a stand-alone basis via the DVD Player? Regardless, your computer may well be impacted by the glitches in your OS build, specifically impacting those of us with 20" iMacs and 256 vram. Check the build of your operating system by going to Apple>About this Mac and click where you see Version 10.4.4 - your Build information will appear. If your build is 8G1171, expect a fix to be on the way. More on that issue here & elsewhere:

It may be something else is effecting your machine, but I thought I'd toss the idea above out there just in case it helps.

I have similar problem, my apple tv which has always worked properly with my Samsung tv will no longer play any audio after the latest 5.1 upgrade. Very frustrating as it was working perfectly before. I am starting to not trust apple upgrades until proven for example ios6 on iPhone with that stupid map app instead of google maps.
I just want to buy and hear my iTunes music and videos on my apple tv, could before cant now. Thank you apple. Time to pack up the apple tv and start torrenting without the ios-bs.
Disheartened apple fan.

Welcome to the  discussion forums.
Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

IPod-Video-80Gig No longer plays movies, videos, TV shows (older shows)

What gives, only 6 months ago the videos played just fine...then I begin having a host of problems (started with the death of the battery at the ripe old age of 8 months). This $400 video iPod had played the few movies and TV shows I purchased...and it will play the audio of them...but will no longer play the video portion. I've tried the resetting (holding the MENU plus CENTER buttons at same time). No go still. I haven't played the movies/videos in a while; but now I'm going on a roadtrip and wanted to take them with me to watch on the plane. So sad. Any help anyone can pass along would be rightly appreciated!

OMI...my daughter had told me she was "fiddling" with the settings and wouldn't you know, she changed the VIDEO SETTINGS "TV Out from Off to On." Word to people with kids...tell them to step away from the iPod.

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.

I watch YouTube videos on a regular basis - mostly with the YouTube app but also with Safari.
Some YouTube videos are supported to be viewed on a computer only or with a Flash capable device, which is becoming few and far between since Adobe no longer supports Flash on any mobile platform.
Sometimes I get this video cannot be played on this platform, but rarely.

Firefox will not correctly play any videos

Firefox 3.6.6 will not play any videos correctly. The audio is fine but the video is just blurry, colored smears.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.youtube.com

I have the same problem in that videos are no longer playing correctly as of 3.6.6 but I am using Vista.
On youtube, videos are loading much more slowly then they were previously, I also notice that I can't play videos very well at all if I have more then one open in multiple tabs. Also, when I go to fullscreen it will either freeze up on full screen, play but I lose controls, play for a little bit and then freeze.
It's very frustrating.

Latest iTune update (May 2014) - unable to play any videos (movies/TV shows)

After the latest iTunes update to 11.2.2.3 I can no longer play any of my purchased/downloaded videos, be it TV shows or Movies. Video window opens up and then nothing, black screen, nothing happens, doesn't play. Tried skipping ahead and still no video/audio playing. All my iTunes audio music plays fine, just issues with video playback. Any one else having these issues? Any suggestions out there? Apple, what have you done? Help!!

Windows 7 64bit - iTunes 64bit. Open the video - in this case, a TV episode. Sound is great. Picture is black.
Other streamers - HBO, DirecTV, FX, Hulu, Netflix - work great.
If I remote to the computer using RDC, I can see the picture via the remote connection.
I've tried the above instructions and uninstalled everything Apple, in order. I've even removed everything Apple in AppData and removed temp files.
I've rebooted and reinstalled it - and again, in Remote Desktop Connection it's showing the image.
On the computer itself, it works great with the sound, but...
No picture.
I've been looking in the Event Viewer and noticed some errors in the .net framework. Not spotting anything else at this time.

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.
