Is there a way to watch news videos from Yahoo?

Hi,
I would like to watch the news videos that Yahoo posts, but when I try the window for the videos opens up but the video I've requested doesn't play. Is there a way to do that?
Patrick

I contacted Yahoo technical support some time ago about the same issue. The response was short and sweet. The Yahoo video player only works with Windows and they have no plans to support the Mac platform in this matter. I am able to view the small videos on the my.yahoo.com personalized page because they are Flash Player based.
For whatever reason Yahoo appears to be particularly hostile to any platform other than Windows. I'm an SBC/Yahoo subscriber but I rarely use any of the Yahoo stuff because it doesn't work or only just sort-of works on my Mac.

  • Is there a way to put a video from facebook into imovie?

    Is there a way to put a video from facebook into imovie?  The facebook video is on my friends wall. Draging it does not seem to work.

    You won't be able to drag and drop it, I think the workaround would be to try and 're-record' it using QuickTime. There's a screen recording ability that will record your hold desktop. My suggestion is to launch QuickTime. Under File Menu > Screen Recording. Get that all setup and ready to hit the red record button. Open Facebook. Playback full screen if possible, then pause it. Start the screen recording, then play the Facebook video. By default, the video will be saved into your Home folder>Movies folder. Open iMovie, go to File Menu > Import > Movies... and then navigate your way to your Movies folder and import that clip into an iMovie Event.

  • Is there a way I can stream video from my 2012 AirMac to the Apple TV using airplay and at the same time stream the audio to an air speaker?

    Is there a way stream video from a 2012 MacBook Air to a TV using Apple TV and at the same time steam the audio to an air speaker. Also the same question but using an ipad

    You can try one thing. Follow these steps:
    1. On your Mac, turn on AirPlay Mirroring and connect it to the Apple TV, so audio and video will stream from the Apple TV.
    2. Turn off the sound of the TV where you have connected the Apple TV.
    3. Then, make sure that you have turned on the AirPlay speakers. Then, open System Preferences > Sound > Output, and choose the external speakers, so sound will stream from these external speakers.
    This should work correctly

  • Is there a way to prevent pictures/video from uploading to iCloud photo library from my iPhone and just have pictures/video from my Macbook in Photos upload to iCloud Photo Library?

    I would like just my imported photos and video in the Photos App to be synced to my iCloud Photo Library, and not the photos and video from my iPhone. Is there a way to do this?

    You can either sync them back to your iPhone is you have them saved on a computer, or you can restore from a backup if you have one.  Those would be about your only options. iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • Is there a way to retrieve deleted videos from my iPad?

    I accidentally deleted a video from my camera roll today, and the file has not been backed up on my iTunes nor iCloud. Is there any way that I can retrieve it still?

    Hello Marcusbryan99,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to recover some deleted videos that were on your iPad mini. There may be a couple of different solutions for this type of situation. If you are using iCloud Photo Library beta on your iPad, deleted photos and videos can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. Please review the attached article for more information on this process. 
    iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
    Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.
    If you have have a backup available on either iTunes or iCloud from when those videos were on the device, restoring from that backup may be an option as well. Please refer to the attached article for more information on restoring from an iCloud or iTunes backup. 
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

  • Is there a way to recover deleted videos from my iphone without buying software

    Need to recover deleted videos off my iphone, the files are present but unable to restore without buying software. Is there a way restore videos without buying extra software?

    Thanks for replying - no, I had not done a backup since the shots were taken and then attemped to put them in an album as I did not want to change the enviornment of the phone from when I had inadvertently delted them.   Unfortunatlely, when asked "Do you want to delete these photos from all locations," I hit yes and they were also deleted from my Photostream.

  • Is there a way to transfer a video from my computer to the photo app? iOS 7

    I want to transfer a video to my iPod, but to the Photo app. Is there a way to do this? If there is, how?

    Yes if you email it and save the video attachment in the Camera Roll album.
    You can also use a third-party program like iFunBox to copy it to the Camera Roll album.
    If you sync the video it will go to the Video app.
    I tried using DropBox but there is not option to to save in Camera Roll album.

  • Is there a way to disable push mail from Yahoo? It's draining my battery

    I'm on the prepaid plan and every 10-15 minutes my iphone turns on with a "The last transaction cost $0.00" message. I don't mind the message (although it is a bit annoying) but my problem is that this turns the LCD on for about 2 minutes at a time.
    I charged my battery to 100% last night, haven't used it at all today and after just turning it on a few minutes ago I had the "Your battery life is at 10%" message followed by a 5% remaining message a few minutes later.
    I've heard that it's the yahoo push mail service thats causing the phone to give the message (since it connects to the internet). My Yahoo account is my main one and I'd hate to have to login to yahoo's site each time to check it (the email functionality was a big selling point for me with the iphone). ATT/Apple don't seem to want to disable this message/"Feature", so I'm guessing I would need to step in and do something on my end.
    Is there any way to disable yahoo mail from "pushing" messages to my phone? I can hit the Check Mail button if I have to.

    Hi Everyone,
    To give an update on the situation: I disabled the Yahoo account and it seems to make a VERY NOTICEABLE difference in battery life - prior to this my battery would drain quite rapidly but since disabling it it's only lost about 15-20% over the past 24 hours (and thats with using the video/music/internet functions for about an hour and a half).. Prior to this it would have been close to drained under the same circumstances.
    Also, to confirm, the "Your last transaction cost 0.00" messages only appear when accessing the internet manually now. before they appeared every 10-15 minutes with no interaction from myself at all (while it was sitting idle, while watching videos, while charging, while in my pocket, etc..)
    I do have it set to only check Manually but Yahoo would seem to check on it's own even though this setting is checked (I'm guessing it has to do with the Push setting). Aside from draining the battery, it was quite annoying having 30 or so "Your transaction cost $0.00" messages to click through whenever I turned on the phone.
    I did have the screen set to shut off after 1 min, but the 'your transaction cost..' messages would first wake the iphone up, the screen would stay bright for about 30 seconds, dim for about 30 seconds, then turn on bright again for 1 minute until it shut off. I'm guessing the screen (being on for about 10-15 minutes per hour due to this) and the fact that yahoo accesses the internet on such a frequent basis are what cut the battery life down.
    I really wish I could make Yahoo work more like Gmail and have it manually search for new mail

  • Is there a way to watch Flash videos in a window?

    I want to know if this is possible...
    Because I want to watch like 4 flash videos at the same time...all i have to do is open and resize them so that 4 of them will fit in my screen...
    I am using Windows Xp and Adobe Flash player 10
    TIA

    I have several applications that can do this on my Mac, and at least two are available for Windows XP: RealPlayer and QuickTime Player, both are free downloads. To open FLV files in QuickTime for Mac, I installed a free codec device called Perian. There will probably be a similar codec available for XP.
    After you open one video file, you have to choose "New Player" and then File > open or it will simply switch out of the first video and into the second.

  • Is there a way to retrieve delted videos from the Iphone4?

    I recently took a short 4 min video on my iPhone4 and some how (not sure how) I deleted it.  If there is a way to retrieve videos can you please let me know. Thanks

    No I unfortunately erased it before even having the chance to back it up to my pc. I had a feeling that would be the response I would get.  Thank you for responding I appreciate it:0)

  • Is there any way to recover deleted video from iPhoto?

    I lost all my iPhone videos because iPhoto didn't export them properly. A whole month of video memories of my newborn's life are gone. Why would a program be designed to export photos and not videos if it allowed videos to be imported from a device?? I am beyond devastated. Files should ONLY be allowed to be dragged and dropped instead of having an "export" option. How in the world was I supposed to know my video files would be exported as blank files?? I know I should have checked the backups before deleting the originals from iPhoto, but I figured when a file was exported, it was copied as is to the external HDD. My question is this: is there ANY possible way to recover old deleted videos??

    What version of iPhoto and system are you using?
    Why would a program be designed to export photos and not videos if it allowed videos to be imported from a device?? I am beyond devastated.
    When you import a video iPhoto creates a jpeg preview version of the first frame.  When you export it out of iPhoto you only get the actual video file if you select Kind = Original.  Either of the other two options give you the prieview image file.
    If you have access to the library they may still be in there. Create a smart album with the criteria:  Keyword = movie or File Name contains .mov.  That should display all movie files in the library.  Try the export Kind = Original and see if you can retrieve them.
    OT
