  • Firefox will not play any type of videos while other browsers do??

    Using windows 7, real player installed, cant plah any videos at all while other bowsers do.
    Mozilla firefox 21.0 real playuer 16.0.2

    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 the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

    *http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-113-crash-mozilla.html
    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.

  • HELP - No sound and will not play any music or videos

    Hi All,
    I'm really hoping someone can help me. I have an Apple iPod 2g 16gb.
    I am having real problems with the sound not working when I upgrade the firmware. If I update to the new 4.1, the internal speaker stops working completely and that's not all...
    If I try to play a song, it basically loads the PLAYING screen (with the two arrows and PLAY button in the middle at the bottom) then appears to immediately stop the song and go back to the track list screen.
    Also... whenever I try playing any videos on the youtube app, it keeps saying video cannot be played...
    Now, if I downgrade to Firmware version 2.1.1 sounds works, videos work and music plays!
    I have tried all the Restore option and Reset all settings solution and nothing seems to work. I have been researching like mad on the Internet and have found a couple of posts with similar problesm so I know it isn't just me but does anyone have any ideas at all because, had I any, I'd have ripped all my hair out by now!!!
    iPod Touch 2G 16GB 4.1 Windows XP Pro

    If it works fine with the older FW, I would leave it alone. iOS 4.1 has its share of problems. Battery life is one big issue.

  • IPad mini will not play ANY audio or video

    My daughter's 1st gen iPad mini worked great until about 2 months ago. The symptoms are best expressed in a list:
    No audio at all. No music, no game audio, no alarms, no ringtones....nothing.
    No video will record or play. Both cameras work and can take pictures but neither can record full motion videos. Slow mo video will record (and play), but I'm assuming that is because it is actually a series of pictures and not a video...No video from the Internet or previously recorded video will play.
    Siri can't transcribe, so I'm assuming the microphone doesn't work either.
    FaceTime doesn't work.
    The oddest part of it is that the Ipad "thinks" it has full functionality. the music files "play" for half a second (no sound) then insta finish and go to the next song, in a turbo silent loop of her music collection. If you hit record on audio or video it will "begin" recording, bit actually not record anything, and in fact freezes up and requires you to leave, then close the app.
    Now, we took it to the Apple Store near us and 3 or 4 techs looked at it and all said they've never seen anything like this before. We have tried resetting it and reinstalling it as a new iPad. At the genius bar they plugged it in and did a firmware upgrade and it made no difference.
    Did I mention the warranty JUST ran out  a month before this...
    Any help at all would be appreciated....

    Try this:
    1. Close all inactive apps. Double-click the Home button and hold apps in the Task Bar down until they all wiggle then tap the minus sign to close apps. Tap the home button to return to Home screen.
    2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • For Mac OS 10.8.2,latest flash plug in, Firefox 19 will not play any You Tube video. Am at wits end.

    The video seem to load, then start, run for about 5 secs, and then stop, no more video. This is on every You Tube video I try. Your instructions-troubleshooting ideas almost never fit a Mac OS 18.8.2 with the latest Adobe flash plug in. Nothing I have seen on your troubleshooting web site solves my problem, and I do not have the time to spend on this for the rest of my life. Fix it.

    I just recently registered on this forum to see if I could help with answering questions from the users here. I did this because I like the apps and aims of Mozilla, and I'm willing to spend time helping people out with using these apps if I'm able to. That being said, questions worded like the one above do not make me want to spend much time being all that helpful.
    My suggestion is that you wait a few hours (or day or so) before posting about a problem that is causing some negative emotional response for you.
    If anyone has the same problem as what is described above, please post more information about their software versions (i.e. flash version), and whether or not the issue remains when taking the flash plugin out of the equation and using HTML5 on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/html5).
    My initial thought is that the issue is with the flash plugin being used. Has another flash version been used?

  • Windows 8.1 will not play any video in Video app, windows media player, Power DVD, or Picture

    I just downloaded 8.1 and Windows will not play any of my videos. Power DVD will play the videos, but there is no sound. I downloaded a video from xbox video and that will not play on my computer either. I have a lenovo yoga ultrabook. I get error codes
    0xc00d11d1 (0x8007007e) from Video and 20120820_082429 - Copy.mp4 in Pictures.

    Hi,
    According to your description, it looks like you encountered a Graphic driver problem. Have you tried to reinstall Graphic driver for test? If not, please have a try.
    If possible, also reinstall the sound card driver.
    If problem persists, You can try to use System File Checker tool to fix your problem. Please refer to the following link for detailed operation.

  • My 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    My 2006 - 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV 1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. However, when I open the project on my other Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and FCP 6, the footage works fine as it does on my newer Imac running Mavericks and FCP 7. I have tried a Quicktime update on the Mac Pro that the footage doesn't work on but it says that I already have the newest version of Quicktime installed. I have also tried reinstalling the Final Cut Pro Studio twice, still no fix. I'm completely out of solutions and need to be able to edit HDV footage on this machine. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up.  Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
    Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests.  But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum.  there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

  • HT3775 My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files

    My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files (brought over from an older PC where they play with another viewer). This site implies Quicktime Player should be able to do so. Is there a codec or something else I'm supposed to download?

    I had found this through other threads, but it is what worked, even allowed my AVI files to be played in PowerPoint. Changing to 32-bit encryption did not work, BTW.

  • FCP X will not play any video.

    FCP X will not play any video. I can skim the audio but can not playback anything. I can move things aroun in the timeline and do everthing else but no play. When I press play or space It will freeze with my favorite beach ball until I force quit. I have deleted all preferences and the app and reinstalled from scratch. Didn't change anything. I was able to export out a project without being able to see it untill the export finished, in full res with no issues.
    I am using an Imac 10 with Dual core 3.06ghz and 16gb ram on 10.6.8

    Spoke to Apple Rep today: Everything works in a new user. Duh I should have thought of that. He at first was telling me that 256 vram was barely enough to run FCPX  and my dual monitors was part of the problem with too many things on the bus 1 usb drive 2 usb printers 1 usb apc, Firewire 400 DVD and Lacie drive, and a Drobo He didn't like the Drobos.  Unhooked everything... Didn't help.
    He Did say that with A DSLR you must Render on import. Tried that Didn't help. I need tosee if that holds water. Off to figure out my User issues But at least I can get back to work.

  • I'm running Mavericks 10.9.3, updated iTunes earlier today, but although I can play audio CDs, DVDs will  not play, any suggestions?

    I'm running Mavericks 10.9.3, updated iTunes earlier today, but although I can play audio CDs, DVDs will  not play, any suggestions?

    Hello there, tomazdes.
    The following Knowledge Base article written for the USB SuperDrive, offers some practical steps to try when issues present themselves with particular content playback (feel free to skip Step 3 when working with an iMac or MacBook with built-in drives):
    Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2801
    Particularly:
    Accepts discs but they don't mount or are automatically ejected
    Make sure the drive is not placed upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up as shown in section 1.
    Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
    Connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
    Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
    OS X Snow Leopard v10.6 or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
    OS X Lion v10.7 and later: Click the Apple () menu and then hold down the Option key. Choose System Information from the menu.
    If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Unable to play any type of video on iTunes

    I currently have iTunes 11.0.5.5 running on a 64-bit version of Windows 7. My problem is that whenever I try to play any type of video file including Movies and Music Videos, iTunes freezes. I can not do anything to it. I can't even close iTunes, I can only close iTunes by using the Task Manager.
    This problem has been going on since iTunes was in version 10. I have already tried unistalling and reinstalling, but that didn't do anything to it.
    I do not know how or why this happend, but I need a solution to fix this problem.

    iPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in “Pause” mode.  No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker.  I have 418 songs stored and none will play. I have tried resetting, turning on and off the iPod, etc. but to no avail.

    Try restoring from backup. Next would be a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
