Problem viewing videos and webcasts

When I try to view a music video or a sports webcast that is located on a website, the video and audio stop frequently and make the experience tolerable at best. Are there any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

The websites could be busy. Make sure you are using the latest version of the video viewers you are using as well as Adobe Flash Player.

Problems viewing videos and trailers after the lastest Flash Player update

I have Windows 7 - 64 bit, I use Firefox 11 (latest version) and Chrome (latest version); however, since I have installed the latest Flash Player update, I cannot view any trailers or some videos. Youtube works fine, but other sites dont (I just get a green screen). Please can someone assist me? I have tried the "Help" section for Flash Player and it hasn't been too helpful.
Thanks in advance!
Ok, I found the problem, my hardware acceleration was set to enabled, once I disabled it, I had no problems viewing any of my sights that used Flash.

You might want to update your driver, particularly if you have an NVidia GPU. Here's a post where we describe this process and ask for additional details so we can resolve this for others.

Any suggestions about my problems viewing videos?

I have had my computer for 4 years now and with Adobe Flash Player installed I have had no trouble viewing videos etc. However, recently I have been unable to view videos and it keeps telling me that I need to download Adobe Flash Player. Even though I thought this was already on my computer, I go ahead and download it. It tells me I have successfully downloaded it. But I still can't view videos. It KEEPS ON telling me I need to download Adobe Flash Player. Anyone know what's going on???

That means you do not have the proper plugin installed. You need the Flash plugin.

Try posting in the QuickTime for Mac forum. You'll be more likely to get help there than you will here in the QuickTime for Windows forum.
Good luck.

Cannoy view video and tutorial clips ?

No longer able to view video and tutorial clips..Have the latest Real Player and Flash player.Something is blocking these from running. I suspect some Ad blocker might be the cause or that your latest program has changed some default switches. Or an Add ON or Extension is the problem. Please help,

Exactlly which model iMac do you have?
see > How to identify iMac models
Unfortunately that is not all that uncommon for the Early Intel iMac's given there age and the fact that the air intakes are probably choked with dust. Then add the extra heat caused by running a more intense OS X which is causing it to run a little warmer than normal and putting extra stress on the graphic and display components.
My 6½ year old 17" Early 2006 Core Duo w/2GB of RAM is also running 10.6.8 and is also starting to get a single line that (knock on wood) goes away after a few minutes, while many others started getting permanent ones after 2 or 3 years. One thing that I think has helped, is that about every 3 or 4 months I shutdown and vigorously vacuum out the bottom grill work and small vent under the stand to keep it running cool.
On that note: unfortunately I can only suggest that you clean your intake vents and hope that no permanent or irreversible damage has been done.

I am trying to view videos and I keep getting blocked plugin signs. What can I do to fix this problem.

What if the latest plugin is the problem? I installed the latest version and now it does not work.

Problem viewing videos on YouTube - starts, then restarts and then restarts, etc. Never can watch the video.

If someone sends me a link or i go to YouTube to watch a particular video it will start, run for a second then restart and continue to do this. I will not allow the video to start and continue to the end. Seems like it is one vicious circle with no end. I have then opened Internet Explorer and opened the same video and it works fine - except i prefer Firefox and don't desire to use IE. Any help is appreciated. I will put the last one I tried in the space below.

So in other words, the iPhone crashes in the middle of playing a YouTube video? If so call Apple to get a replacement immediately. This should be covered by your warranty.

Problem viewing videos on TV

I just purchased a new Ipod classic 6th gen. 80g and the required new AV composite cable from Apple and after making the proper connections and settings on my Ipod and TV I am still unable to view videos on my TV. (no signal at all coming through to TV) All I get is a message on the ipod screen saying "TV OUT ENABLED please connect video accessory". The cable is already connected. I have tried different TV's but get the same results. Can anyone help me with this problem.

Hay,
Sorry got no great words of wisdom, but at least it seems APPLE maybe aware of the problem now if you have spoken to someone.
I guess we just vwait to see if they release a new update of the firm ware.
See below from previous discussion reason why. If I hear any thing will let you know. A
(See below)
Why in the name of creation would Apple decide to cripple the iPod's video output with their newest firmware update? It is "unlocked" as of version 1.0.2, but that firmware is quite buggy. Finally, Apple "fixed" the video output "aspect ratio" correctly for widescreen displays in version 1.0.3, but for what trade off? So that 3rd party manufacturers (Griffin, Sonic Impact, Monster, iHome, Phillips, etc.) who don't have the correct 30-pin chip connector (identifier) won't be able to carry video from the iPod any longer.

Problem viewing video on CIVS-IPC-3520

We just purchase a few CIVS-IPC-3520, indoor HD cameras, and can not see the video on the web interface to adjust the cameras.
I first tried with a Windows 7, IE8 laptop, and it will not load the needed activeX files to view the camera. I then tried a very old laptop with Windows XP and IE8 and it did work. I have even upgraded the firmware to the latest (V1.4.1-97), which will not work with our current version of VSOM, 6.3.3, and it still does not allow us to view the video.
Does anyone know of any tricks to get these cameras to show video on the web interface to adjust the camers at installation? I just dont think that I should have to use 10 year old tech to install something that is brand new.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Doug

Okay, so I had the same problem when we receivied the 3520's on campus in December. I was able to download the program from the camera utility folder and install the program successfully when running it from the desktop. I was then able to view video on a camera I was staging in my office. Fast forward to Friday when I was actually installing the cameras and now I cannot view video again from the PCs that I was previously viewing video. When bringing up the camera video feed, I get a message that says the Camera UI is not installed. However, I can open the programs list and see that it is still installed. Tried uninstalling it, rebooting and re-installing without success. The install program starts gathering information and then it goes off into la la land. Running this on Win 7 Enteprise Edition and IE 9 and IE 10.

Problem viewing videos in Safari

I used to use Chrome all the time but have read using Safari could increase my battery’s life before its next charge. When using chrome and viewing videos in YouTube and Facebook I had no problems but since I started using Safari it has been saying I am missing a plugin. I presume this is Flash player. I am reluctant to download Flash because of possible increased CPU usage and battery drain and all apple aps are designed to use HTML5, so I was wondering if there is another way of allowing videos to play within the webpage?
Thanks
Matt

You're correct to avoid Flash when practical.
Flash is being phased out by most sites that use it in favor of HTML5 page code. That is sites that rely heavily on video and not the millions of Flash based ads.
But if the page is coded to use Flash then without the plug-in you can't view it. Doesn't matter how much you don't want Flash to be installed. Many files will not be converted to HTML5 code.

Periodic Problem Viewing Videos in Course

We have a course in iTunesU that uses a lot of videos. I'm viewing segments of a lot of those videos on an iPad (first generation) to do some maintenance work on the course. After a day or so of this kind of activity, I can no longer view the videos. I can get to the video play screen where the video should start playing automatically, but the video stops every split second. Selecting the "play" button results in the video immediately stopping again. Videos in a different course (not so video-intensive) work as exxpected. A hard power-off does not solve the problem. The last two times this happened, I deleted iTunesU from the iPad and reinstalled, and that fixed it for another day or so. It's a problem that feels like a memory leak one.
Anybody else seen anything like this? Or have ideas about what might be going on?

I cannot view videos and have downloated Adobe Flash Player several times.

I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player several times and still cannot view videos. I get the error message "you do not have Adobe Flash Player" and the screen for me to download it. Please help.

Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, ( unless you already have it ), download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if the videos play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart Internet Explorer.
Regards,
DP-K

I just started having a problem viewing videos, namely youtube. Any suggestions? Thank You. Scott

I just started having problems viewing youtube videos. Other videos on other sites appear to be working. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

A friend recommended this and surprisingly I could watch the videos so apparently my issue is a Flash problem.
Try this test:
Try this, www.youtube.com/html5 and click 'Join the html5 trial' and see if you can watch videos then. If you can, it's a flash issue. If not, I have no idea.
If it's flash, I would upgrade FF to 5.0. I believe it uses built in flash, much like Chrome does.
