New ipad wont play videos on facebook

i have the NEW IPAD (4G) and whenever i try to view videos on FACEBOOK, it wont play.
It opened a browser and a play icon appears.
I was able to play it on my laptop and saw the video without problem.

It's likely that those particular videos require Flash Player to view.  Adobe discontinued supporting Flash Player for mobile devices a year ago, so you can't view those videos on your iPad.  You CAN view them on a laptop because Flash Player for computers still works fine.  This has been discussed endlessly on this Forum.
Hope this helps

  • Cannot load the "new" flash so I can play videos on Facebook via Firefox on OS 10.6.8. Have followed instuctions by after "save file" nothing happens, even after I trash the previous version of flash I have.

    I am unable to play videos on Facebook unless I download a "new" flash, which I am unable to do -- following the instructions to trash the previous version included. I'm told to hit "save," but no downloading activity occurs at all. I'm using OS 10.6.8. Any clue what to do?

    Hello, it seems that support is not aware of this blog post: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2013/06/updatingupgrading-to-photoshop-cc-faq.html#video
    Adobe decided to limit to Lion, each operating system they support means more quality assurance.
    The APIs they used for video is not supported in Snow Leopard (I upgraded just for that)
    Adding another one means more quality assurance, tests, detrimental to the new features.
    If you are a creative cloud subscriber you can also install Photoshop CS6 that has a video module compatible with 10.6.8

  • I cant play videos on Facebook

    I cant play some videos on Facebook ( although I can on YouTube for instance) . I get the message "Flash Player upgrade required" When I see if I have Flash Player installed, the message is that its either not installed or not enabled.I checked I have got Flash Player installed and enabled and it is. When I try to download the upgrade, it always gets to 70% installed, it stops then the message to close Internet Explorer. I checked the Task manager and its clear of any programs running. Any suggestions please?. Peterx

    Problem is not flash player. I am having same issues. I cannot view any of my Facebook videos on my new iPad 4th either thru the Facebook app or safari. On the app i get the wheel that eternally looks like it is loading  but never plays and on safari I get adobe flash message. I can play all the same videos on my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1) and iPad 2 (ios5.?) just fine. Is it something to do with ios 6? Would love a solution.

  • Encore wont play video files

    I recently upgraded encore from ver.2 to cs3 and find that ver.cs3 wont play video files.
    It wont play the file in the project window, it just stops at the first frame. If I move the slider below the viewer the video material is updated but it wont play.
    In the monitor view it wont play either, I can view the material by manually moving the cursor.
    It wont play a preview either, it just stops.
    It builds a DVD without problems and the dvd plays fine without errors but the program wont play any video files.
    Ver.2 plays all the same video files without problems.
    Please help!

    Whew!
    Glad that you got it fixed, and thanks for posting what worked for you.
    Good luck with the interview,

  • Downloaded music from my new Imac wont play properly at my Ipod Mini

    Just bought an Imac and downloaded music from Itunes musicstore. The music i have downloaded from my new Imac wont play properly at my Ipod mini. After 52 sec the song stops and the next song continues... If i go past the 52 sec it plays all right... I have tried to reset the ipod mini, and restore it. Nothing works...
    The songs i have downloaded with my PC does not have any problems at all...
    Hope you can help.

    iTunes does not transfer tracks back from an iPod to iTunes. The synchronization function is from iTunes to the iPod only. But you can get tracks back from your iPod if they haven't been erased (which will happen if you synch your iPod to a blank iTunes). The easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
    MacMuse: Computer crashed
    If your tracks are already gone from your iPod, though, then you're probably out of luck and will need to re-import your CDs and repurchase your tracks from the iTunes Music Store if you don't have them backed up elsewhere (which is strongly recommend).
    Hope this helps. Good luck.

  • I cant play videos on Facebook with Firefox but I can with IE. I am using Firefox 4.0.1

    I cant play videos on Facebook with Firefox but I can with IE. I am using Firefox 4.0.1

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
