New Macbook Pro......I'm unable to view videos

Hi, I just recently purchased my Macbook Pro and found that I'm unable play videos.  Do I need to install a flash player?

it they are flash videos, you need a flash player... for flash player, check here...
www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html
if they are other type of videos (mpeg4, divx, quicktime),... you can view it by using quicktime... or if the video is not supported by quicktime, try other video players for mac. search in google for video players for mac.... and you will get so many players other than quicktime...
hope this helps

  • I have a New MacBook Pro and am unable to open Word docx.  What do I do?

    I have a new macbook pro and can't convert any windows docx, xlsx, etc files

    You need Office 2011. What version do you have installed? If the MB is new it did not come with Office pre-installed unless you purchased it along with the computer.

  • My new MacBook Pro 10.6 has problems viewing the web-Flash

    My old Mac Book Pro running 10.5 saw all website perfectly including Adobe Flash content.  My brand new Mac Book Pro running the latest 10.6 gives me Adobe Flash errors when I look at my e-mail and most websites.  Thank goodness my tower is still running 10.5. Is there a Flash solution for 10.6 with out destroying Quicktime?  I ran into that problem in the past when trying to load Flash for Mac.  My Quicktime quit working when i did that install.  What is the work around to get Flash working on my Mac.   
    Apple is lame for not supporting Flash technology.  The "World" runs on Adobe Flash!  BTW, I own a iPad which does not support Flash either. Flash is a big deal.  Come on Apple give in and support it!

    Just install the latest Flash update.  That's all there is to it.

    Phfssh!  That's crap.  Very few of the sites I use rely on Flash, and those that do still rely on Flash for significant functionality now that there are better alternatives (and when there are devices - not all Apple's - that can't render Flash) are generally not sites with very valuable content.  Flash is a dead technology...  it's just still twitching.

  • Just Got a New MacBook Pro...need advice.

    As mentioned, I just got a new MacBook Pro.  I have enjoyed creating videos on my older machines vis imovie.  However, I've hit a bunch of limitations in that program and would like to expand my options.  I'm considering Final Cut Pro X since the cost has dramatically came down.  My question is whether my new machine is really cable of handling it's features or not.  I've noted my specs below.  Please advise.
    Also, considering I go with Final Cut Pro X, are there other programs I might consider to further the opportunity for design options and editing?

  • I have iWork 09 with a family license. I am unable to install the software on my new Macbook Pro (the message is simply "Installation failed"). I wonder if I need to remove an old computer from the family license, and if so, how?

    I have iWork 09 with a family license. I am unable to install the software on my new Macbook Pro (the message is simply "Installation failed"). I wonder if I need to remove an old computer from the family license, and if so, how?

    Yes, gladly. I am trying to install on a 13" MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.3. I insert the disk into the SuperDrive. The I work '09 window pops up with two icons: one Tim install and one that says "Read before you install iWork." I double-click on the "Install iWork '09" icon, and a window appears that says, "This package will run a program to determine if the software can be installed." I click "continue" and see "Welcome to the iWork '09 installer." I click on "Continue." The "read me" bullet on the left lights up, and I see "Read before you install. . . ." I click "Continue," then see the software license agreement. When I click on "Continue" again, I am asked to agree, and I do. The window then says, "Standard Install on 'Mackintosh HD" and indicates how much space the program will take.
    I click "Install," enter my password, and the installation begins. It goes through a validating phase and begins "writing files." It indicates that installation will take about 30 minutes (although that number fluctuates). After about four minutes it goes to "cleaning up." Then after just a few seconds, the "Summary" bullet on the left lights up and this message appears: "There were errors with the installation. You may want to try installing again." There is a large yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it, and a bold "The installation failed." Below that appears "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    At that point, a "Close" button is pulsating blue at the bottom of the window.
    Sorry for the tedious detail. Anything revealing there?
    Thanks!

  • HT201364 I am unable to redownload OS X Mavericks on a Late 2013 new Macbook Pro 13". I get a message saying "We could not complete your purchase" " OS X Mavericks can not be installed on this computer"

    I am unable to redownload OS X Mavericks on a Late 2013 new Macbook Pro 13". I get a message saying "We could not complete your purchase" " OS X Mavericks can not be installed on this computer"
    I nee an easy way to resolve this with Apple.

    why is it this problematic to resolve?! obviously there's a valid installer image for our macs, why can we not have access to it to use on our laptops?
    I do not understand, nor accept the explanation given before - about it being a newer model... it doesn't make sense... how does that translate to "no download available".
    also, if it was a valid point - we would have had that download with the release of 10.9.1 - which we don't.

    Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Most of YouTube videos support HTML5, so activate HTML5 > http://www.youtube.com/html5
    If after turning on HTML5 you can't watch videos, download Flash > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer Then, close Safari, install Flash and restart the MacBook Pro. Finally, try to watch a video in YouTube

  • Unable to watch Adobe Flash / YouTube - OS X 10.6.6 - New MacBook Pro 2011

    Hello,
    I'm new to Mac family.
    I recently got new MacBook Pro 2011 15" model. However I'm unable to watch videos on YouTube. It shows Adobe Flash Player is out of date. My MacBook Pro software up to date. I tried to download and install latest version of Flash Player from Adobe website. Installation went successful, but nothing works.
    I tried on both Firefox and Chrome builds too. I even restored MacBook Pro to default settings. I'm just wondering, whether Mac supports Adobe Flash Player at?
    Any further help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Does anyone else have a solution to this issue that does not involve doing a fresh install of Snow Leopard? That solution is not acceptable to me.
    I did a system migration from a Time Machine backup when I purchased my new 2011 MacBook Pro last week. All my applications seemed to be working normally until I attempted to watch a YouTube video in either Safari or Chrome. In both browsers, all I get is a black screen where the video should be playing.
    I downloaded and installed the latest version of the Flash Player for Safari and I am not able to manually update the Flash Player for Chrome since that browser keeps the Flash Player up-to-date automatically. The black screen persists when attempting to watch a video on YouTube. I cleared the site cache for the Flash Player just in case something was buggy there, but the problems remains.
    Any assistance would be much appreciated!

  • New MacBook Pro, unable to get past the select your country screen during initial setup.

    I purchased a new MacBook Pro last night and am unable to get past the initial setup screen where you select your country.  The mouse will move around, but won't actually allow me to click on 'continue'.  I've also tried the keyboard commands to move to the next screen.  Nothing...

    I just experienced this, and I am recording the solution here for posterity. I got through the setup using the keyboard (tab to move between controls and space to select), thinking that the mouse click would work when I got through it. But I was dismayed to find that it did not ...
    ... at least so I thought! But actually, you have to push down the mouse pad, NOT just tap it. You can turn on tap-to-click later, but at the start you must push it until it audibly clicks. It is not obvious if you are used to Windows laptop mouse pads like me, where tap-to-click is the ubiquitous norm.

  • Unable to update iPhoto on new Macbook Pro

    I have a new MacBook pro and AppStore indicates that there is an update for iPhoto.  When I try to update iPhoto I get an error stating "to update this application sign in with the account you used to purchase it". 
    I did not register the first time I booted the MacBook so I am assuming that it must not know what Apple ID to use for the update, but I do have my apple id associated with my user account.  How do I get around this issue so I can update iPhoto?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Apple support suggested the following (which didn't work for me, but I'm sharing as they might work for others - I'll keep the post updated when I hear back, again):
    1) Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
    2) Enter your Apple ID and password.
    3) Click Purchases.
    4) If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them.
    5) Click Install to compete installation of your applications.
    If this does not work, follow the instructions below and then repeat the steps above to accept the iLife apps again.
    1) Close the Mac App Store.
    2) In Finder, click on the Go menu.
    2) Click Go to Folder.
    3) Enter ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/
    4) Drag adoption.plist to the Trash.
    5) Relaunch the Mac App Store.
    You should then be prompted to accept the apps for your current account.
    If you are not prompted to accept the apps when you sign back in to the Mac App store and click on purchases, please contact us back.

  • New MacBook Pro 15" unable to recognize Hard Drive connected by thunderbolt cable

    We have three macs in the house and recently purchased a new MacBook Pro 15" with two thunderbolt connections.
    I have a 4TB Seagate HD that has been partitioned into 4 1 TB drives all formatted for MAC OS.  Each Partition is being used for a separate time machine capsule and when I hooked up the new Mac I got that the disk was not recognized and has to be initialized. 
    Since the other two macs read it fine I'm not sure that this is a problem with the actual hard drive itself.
    I rebooted the New Mac and installed all the updates, but am still having the problem.  It is seeing the drive, but only as 1 4TB partition that needs to be formatted.
    Is this a problem with the new mac or is there a simple solution.
    Thanks

    Sorry my english is not perfect.
    I didn't say to turn off the fans. I say you have to increase the speed of yours fans to 3000 rpm, for you realize the intensity of noise emitted by my hard drive. I would like your opinions if my hard drive is normal or not ? I think not, because the noise is very hard, but I would like a confirmation.
    Thanks
