My macbook won't play internet videos in Safari or any browser. What am I doing wrong?

I've been trying for the last half day to get my macbook pro to play ANY online videos in Safari, Chrome, and FireFox. The videos tell me to download Adobe Flash Player...did it. Cleaned out my caches, restarted my browser(s), and even restarted my computer at one point. I turned off my extensions, made sure that my JavaScript was on, etc. Nothing has worked.
At first I thought it was because of the browsers, so I made sure that all of them are updated. YouTube works fine. And sometimes other sites work. It's a hit or miss--very inconsistent and frustrating. What can I do to fix this inconsistency? Is it really necessary to download and keep Adobe Flash Player?

can you give example of website that you had trouble watching videos?
chrome has built in flash so it should play atleast youtube.com videos.
how many computers do you have in your network, are you the only on having issues?

  • How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted part! What am I doing wrong?

    What am I doing wrong?
    How exactly are you doing this?
    When I cut out a part of an audio region, then drag the remaining parts together, so they are touching, the track will skip the cut out section when playing the file.  Also, if I select the remaining parts of the region and use the command "Edit > join regions". This will create a new audio file with the cut out part deleted.
    You should see this prompt, when you are joining the regions:

    My computer won't let me select "automatically update safe downloads list"  What am I doing wrong?

    You are correct that is what I'm talking about.  I did install it. 
    Now I can't get the check box in the preferences security panel under the tab "general" that allows "automatically update safe downloads list" to stay checked.  Each time I unlock and check the box and then relock and close, the check mark disapears.  This is the problem.

    Is this audiobook configured to sync to your iPod via it's Books configuration pane in iTunes?  Click on your iPod's device name under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the Summary tab.  Look for the Books tab along the top and click on it.

    Hello AdeShaw,
    You may need to restart the computer, if you haven't done so already. Should that fail to resolve the issue, we've an article that can help resume the download.

  • MacBook won't play audio/video

    My MacBook won't play any audio or video. It also won't open iMovie and when I try to open a photo in iPhoto/Preview, it goes blank. I have tried updating it, reinstalling the flash, using firefox/google chrome etc. I have no idea what is causing this. Is there a way to fix it without having to actually take it into the Apple store? I would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks in advance!

  • Blackberry 8830 World Edition -- won't play internet video

    I cannot get my Blackberry 8830 World Edition to play internet video, such as YouTube videos, etc.
    When I click to play them on my phone, I get this message: 
    "a problem occurred when trying to render page"
    Can anyone help?

    If I'm not mistaken, you need OS 4.5 to do that and OS 4.5 has not been "officially" released yet despite what RIM tried to suggest in an email they sent out the "Blackberry Owners Lounge" members a month or so ago. I'm running the latest beta of OS 4.5 and it runs Youtube vids with a small tweak.
    Unfortunately, you'll probably just need to wait until RIM finally gives us 4.5 officially.

  • I downloaded the new Firefox for my Mac and it won't open. I deleted the old version. What am I doing wrong?

    I can't get firefox to open now that I erased the old version and tried to install the new version (6.0.2) on my Mac. I was hoping I could update it and have my bookmarks and everything intact, but when I drag the firefox symbol into my dock it won't do anything after downloading. I have put it in the trash to delete it and re-downloaded it, but nothing seems to help. On top of it, the fan on my computer goes on when I am trying to get firefox to work ????
    Thanks!

  • My Volume Limit restriction won't work.. It's still too loud, what am I doing wrong?

    As the header says... I've followed what the manual says, but I still can't get the volume to get any lower.. My daughter have played music on it, and it sounds like the speakers are gone soon... So I really want  the volume limit to work, before the entire iPod touch is broken...
    Can Anyone please help me ASAP?

    A. The Volume Limit setting lets you change the maximum output of your iPod’s headphone jack. The actual sound pressure level that you experience depends on several factors: the music you’re listening to, how it was recorded and encoded, the type of earbuds or headphones you use, and their placement in your ears.

  • The bookmarks created on my new MacBook are showing on my wife's MacBook. We are using two different Apple ID's. What are we doing wrong?

    My wife has had her MacBook for about a year. She was originally using Apple ID we can call #1. She later created and began using Apple ID #2. I just got a MacBook and began using Apple ID #1. When I set up my bookmarks in Safari,what I thought were her old bookmarks were there. When I deleted them, while we were on two separate Apple IDs, I deleted hers. (Fortunately, I backed them up first.) Now when I add bookmarks they show on her separate Apple ID. I checked and it seems that she is signed out and the old ID has even been deleted as an option on her Mac. Because of my work we need to keep these things separate. What are we missing?

    In System Preferences>iCloud if you click Account Details do you each see your own unique Apple ID?

  • I have iCloud running on my iPad. But when trying to get my macbook pro on iCloud, my Apple ID is not accepted.  What am I doing wrong?

    Can you help?

    I know it is not the best advice, but the easiest way would be to delete your app from your device and then to re-download it from the App Store again by using your new Apple ID.

  • I cannot figure out how to turn off the iPad2 microphone while I am playing through the guitar amps... What am I doing wrong ?

    When using Apogee Jam to connect my guitar to my iPad2,
    the iPad internal microphone continues to record ambient room sounds.
    How can I turn this off ?
    Please help :)
    Thanks in advance

    This seems to be a bug with iOS 5 with garageband and using external input sources.
    I have apogee jam and getting same problem.
    Also getting problems using Alesis io dock. Same kinda thing as the apogee just a little more advanced.
    Amps are going nuts when I change from one to another using io dock and also I'm grt pops and crackles where it used to be cristal clear. I want iOS 4 back as both apogee and Alesis io dock were working perfect.
    This is crap as its the reason I got the iPad.
    This seems to be a big problem.
    I'm sick of restarting the iPad (re set) to get to work.
    Apple please fix as this *****.

  • Apps won't change/apply after downloading and restarting Firefox. What am I doing wrong? Thank you

    I want to use a new theme but after several tries nothing has changed.
    What could be wrong.....

    Did you restart Firefox after selecting the new theme?
    You do mean a theme and not a persona to customize the toolbar area?
