Mac can't watch online videos

Any time I try to watch a video on any website (youtube, netflix, etc.) it won't load. It is just a black rectangle. I tried refreshing multiple times but nothing happens. Everything was working fine earlier today and now videos won't work.

Are you blocking anything (possibly adds, using Little Snitch or Hands Off)?
Have you tried simply rebooting?

  • I can't watch online videos without them constantly stopping and buffering

    I cannot watch online videos or movies from a website or with a player. The videos and/or movies continually stop and start again and are constantly buffering. I have tried emptying the cache. I can maneuver all over the web without delays so I don't think it's my internet. Our internet is wireless and we have a satellite system.

    Hi and welcome...
    Your Mac came with Flash, QuickTime, and Java pre-installed.
    It depends on which format the videos are that you are trying to view. Often Flip4Mac is required.
    You can access Flip4Mac settings in System Preferences (in your Applications folder) once the software is installed.
    If Flip4Mac doesn't help, post a link to the site where you can't stream video.

  • C2-00: Can't watch online videos

    Why i cant watch online videos in c2-00
    Moderator's note: We have amended the title of this post as this was moved from another thread.

    Hi rafiqs38,
    Welcome to Nokia Forum! 
    May we ask, have you checked your phone if you have the right internet settings that you need for streaming? You can check this by going to Menu > Settings > Configuration > Default Configuration Settings > Select your operator's connection. If you don't have it yet, your can ask your network operator to send it to you directly.

  • Watching online video's and snow leopard

    i use to watch online videos like smallville and son's of anarchy. but ever since i installed the new snow leopard. i cant watch any tv show online (ie- fx, cw channels). i can still watch youtube. i searched the first 38 forum pages to see if anyone else is having this same problem.

    I seem to have the same issue that Viking is having. This issue is really frustating the **** out of me. I've got two identical iMac's that had the hard drives wiped clean. Installed a fresh copy of SL, did all the Apple updates so I'm at SL 10.6.1. Installed Flip4Mac 2.3.0.14, Perian 1.1.4, QT7 and I still can't get any streaming video/audio (ASX, ASF, WMV, etc) to play through either Safari or Firefox. All it does is show a blank window where the video should be or the asx page just sits there loading.
    I've read through hundreds of posts about this issue and can't find a solution, everything just says to install flip4mac and it should work. I've downloaded WMV, MPG, AVI files to the desktop and they play just fine in VLC player. All the QT trailers on Apple's site play just fine in the browser as well. Flash sites like youtube work just fine too. These are not Realmedia sites. I've tried it with only Flip4Mac installed without anything else and have the same problem. No firewalls are on either. All the Flip plugins seem to be installed correctly in the Safari plugins list.
    Can anyone please give me some suggestions to try? I'm a recent Mac convert from the PC and can't believe that it would be this difficult to get something working that always worked on the PC.
    Thx

  • How can I watch a video clip in my iPad 3?

    I just got an attached video clip from my brother, sent to my hotmail. When I open the clip, it just shows an overcrossed play bottom! How can I watch a video clip in hotmail, using an iPad? Do I need to download an app or what? Please!?

    Well on a Mac you can install
    Flash
    Silverlight
    Perian
    VLC
    Flip4Mac
    DivX
    and many other codecs/tools to watch anything.
    Guess the iOS isn't really all that it's cracked up to be, ignoring the wider world out there.
    Your only choice to complain to Apple about closed devices they make, but of course they know this already and using the iPad as a cheap "netbook" halo effect device so you get to upgrade to a Mac, just like they do with iPhones and iPods.
    In the meanwhile they are slowly closing the door on OS X, a little at a time so it's not noticeable.
    Pretty soon the excuse will be "sorry I can't play your video you sent me mom, I've got a Mac"

  • Watching online video on a new Intel-MacBook

    I am unable to watch online videos on my new MacBook. The windows media player alarm comes up telling me I don't have the right plug-in. I believe that is the Quicktime component add-on. This still doesn't work. How can watch online video (like cnn.com for example) on my Intel MacBook?

    The intel flip4mac beta is no longer available so you can't use it.
    Therefore install windows media player from http://www.mactopica.com
    You could then force safari to open under rosetta and the windows media plugin should work.

  • Can't watch Flash Videos on my iMac. Upgraded to flash 11. Help?

    Hi, everyone. I'm using Mac OSX version 10.7.2. with intel core 2 duo and upgraded to Flash Player 11. Now I can't watch any videos that require flash. Do I need to do more than just install the program. Maybe add plugins?
    Any tip or suggestion will help.
    Thank you

    The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
    What can I do ..??
    Regards.

  • Any difference to watch online video & FaceTime between Wifi & LTE?

    Hi, I'm planning to buy an iPad for my mother soon, she don't have interent at home, I'm thinking that should I:
    1) Buy an iPad Wifi+Cellular and let her to use the SIM card to connect internet; or
    2) Buy an iPad Wifi and apply the broadband service for her
    - May I ask is there any diffenent to watch online video on iPad between wifi connection and cellular connection? Is it able to watch HD quality online video if using SIM card connected to internet? (Because I remember that the video quality is much poor if I use SIM card to connect internet long long time ago)
    - May I also ask if I can use FaceTime with SIM card connection as well?
    Thank you for your help.

    Thank you for your help! Sorry my message may misleaded...
    I'm planning to use Rogers in Ont, Canada, I guess 5GB per month is enough for my mom in the beginning, and LTE is faster than the lower cost broadband service that offer by Rogers, so both idea should work, but I'm still cannot make any decision because of the iOS system on HD video viewing and FaceTime connection:
    1) May I ask is there any diffenent to watch online video on iPad between wifi connection and cellular connection? Is it able to watch HD quality online video if using SIM card connected to internet?
    Because I remember that the video quality is much poor if I use SIM card to connect internet long long time ago, the quality was automatically compressed when watching online video with 3G mode, but it's long time ago, not sure now.
    2) May I also ask if I can use FaceTime with SIM card connection as well (LTE)?

  • How can I watch the video on the ABC news website?

    You guys have talked about this issue before, but just in case there has been any changes or ideas I was wondering...
    Is there a way for us Mac people to watch video on the ABC news web site? I used to be able to when ABC was using Real Media. But they went in house and I couldn't watch their archived stuff. Like World News Tonight programs.
    Oddly, there is video on the site that I can watch. Like shorter stories.
    Also, on MSNBC, I can watch the daily news broadcast, but can't watch other video on the MSNBC site.
    I'm not really computer savy, but I do understand this has something to do with "the platform" ABC news is using.
    Any ideas or good results?
    Thanks,
    Mylesaway

    First of all, thanks for all your help.
    But here's the deal, some of the videos do and always have played on the ABC website for me. But not all. The free stuff on the first page all plays. The other videos on other pages do not. Not now, and not before when I had a paid subscription. It's the archived material or whole World News Tonight and Nightline shows that are not playing for me.
    But again, the individual stories on the front page of the site do play.
    Same problem with the MSNBC website. But with a slight twist. It says I don't have the needed video player. And can't watch the smaller stories on the front page of the site. However, when I try to watch the webcasts of the entire NBC NIGHTLY NEWS with BRIAN WILLIAMS, I can watch it with no problem at all!
    Plus, I do have the Macromedia Flash player installed on my computer. And it still doesn't work.
    Thanks,
    Myles

  • Is it possible to connect an external blue ray drive via USB with a mac mini to watch HD videos?

    Did you even read the article you linked to?
    Here's a quote from it
    "The video itself looked fine when it played properly, but it stopped and started constantly, and often displayed with huge, ugly artifacts. And at times, the app would freeze completely and require a force quit.
    Just to make sure it wasn’t a problem with one Blu-ray disc, I tried some others. With Hot Tub Time Machine the results were much, much worse. It got a few seconds into the United Artists logo before the movie and completely froze playback. On several attempts. With David Cronenberg’s The Fly, playback was generally better—but the software played the ‘making of’ movie instead of the actual film. I thought there might have been a preference to help with the movie selection, but—wait for it—the Preferences item didn’t do anything when I selected it."
    Not very promising is 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?

    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 can't watch a video with the extension mpg or avi or anyother one using flexplayer for my ipad. Which player i can download to watch the videos that i receive in my email?

    I can't watch a video with the extension mpg or avi or anyother one using flexplayer for my ipad. Which player i can download to watch the videos that i receive in my email?

    Unfortunatelly, something’s not working fine on Flexplayer during the last cupple of months. A lot of updates have been released lately and the problems persist. Since iOS 6 was on the air, the problems became even worst. It’s a shame, but I think it’s time to change the app we are using. The alternative I found is 8Player, it works fine, similar to Flexplayer (but nicer interfase), and the best is that it supports “.flv” (not sure Flexplayer did). You can save your files to your hard disc using iTunes and then transfer them again to your idevice, once you’ve installed 8Player. I hope this helps. Bye bye Flexplayer!!
