Problem W/viewing videos on Safari

Lately all the videos I try to view stops every few seconds and reloads. Started this about a month or so ago. Am unable to correct this.
Running Mac OSX version 10.6.8 with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Any solutions? New to Apple!

Make sure you are running the correct version of Adobe Flash:

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.

Problems with Youtube videos in Safari

I'm having problems viewing videos from Youtube. The problem started recently videos stop after 1-2 minutes. I installed Mavericks a few months ago. Could that be the problem? The browser is Safari.

1. System Preferences > Other/ Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
     Press the "Delete All" button
     Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Follow the prompts.
    Quit Safari.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Allow Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.
    Press " Manage Website Settings" button for more options.

Internet access problems and viewing video on internet

I have very limited interet access most of the time. I get a message: "You are not currently in an area that can handle data communication. ..." I have no problem with email and other features of the phone during this time. The signal at the top of my phone says "GSM". When I am able access the internet, it give me a different signal (can't remember what that is, however). Even then, I cannot view most video clips, such as YouTube clips. They will not load all the way. It states, "Error has occurred in attempting to play media." Help!

I have unlimited internet access, so that's not the problem. Right when I got the phone, I replaced the original data card with a 4G card and enabled mass storage. I have (since my first post) had more access capability by enabling the WiFi (da) which finds my wireless connection at home. I've also been able to view a video clip, not successfully all the way through, however. During viewing, the phone appears to crash, i.e. the screen goes white and then it takes 3-5 minutes for it to reboot. This has also happened when the phone has not even been being used. Also, as I was surfing the net, the phone asked if I wanted to enable Javascript which I did. Is there anything else that I need to enable or do to the phone in order to have a more pleasant experience using the internet and viewing video clips?

Problem watching Youtube video with Safari 5.1.10

I'm running Safari 5.1.10 under Snow Leopard 10.6.8 but cannot watch anymore videos with Youtube. Does anyone has an idea ?
A message appears on the top of the screen asking to accept cookies. But when clicking on accept nothing happens ... :-( and videos do not appear
I tried with Google Chrome no problem. Last week Safari was working well it just happened ~ 2 days ago.

Hello Carolyn,
Thanks for your support but I already tried those options without success. I reinstalled completely Safari 5.1.10 but problem remains.
In fact it seems that clicking action to authorise cookies is inhibited (no effect) therefore videos as thumbtails do not appear (blank), however if I click on a video tittle then it starts to play normally. Really really weird, I don't if Google did some upgrade with Youtube therefore Safari 5.1.10 is obsolete ...
As an alternative I will use Google Chrome but it's a pitty.
Laurent.

Problems with embedded Video in Safari

I have an issue when I try to open an embedded video within either safari.
I can not open anything, and if the embedded video is Quicktime based, I just get the large 'Q' (Quicktime) sitting in the middle and no video.
Can anyone help or tell me how I fix my Plugins within the browser please?
Many Thanks
Gary

How to view/hear pretty much everything:
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Youtube problem when playing videos in safari

Whatever youtube video i play it just freezes and glitches and the whole video window and webpage becomes unresponsive whether im on youtube or watching a youtube video on another site, the video is unwatchabe and i have to reload the page over and over and sometimes it will eventially play okay. I have no problems playing videos through firefox.
I have tried empyting the cache, cookies and all the other browsing data, i have tried reinstalling flash player, i have cleaned my computer and still the problem persisits. I have no problems with any other video sites or flash windows, its just youtube (typically).
I need help to get to the bottom of this!

Hi..
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
You need to uninstall the current Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache (yes, do this one more time).
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safa

Problem with viewing videos in Full Screen

I have created a playlist containing numerous music videos in iTunes Windows XP. I have no problem entering Full Screen, but at various points of time, the full screen will cut out reverting back to the smaller size. It seems to happen after about 2 hours but usually on a different video. When I reset it to Full Screen again, it will stay for another long period but always drop back to the smaller size at some point. I have reinstalled iTunes but the problem persists. Any ideas how to correct?

I have the same problem, anything I try to do in full screen just pops right back down to the previous screen. If I play a video I can hear it, but I can't see it.

Problem with viewing videos on iPod

When I select 'Video' category, the movies are not listed. Instead, songs are displayed. I tried searching one particular movie then played it. The movie is playing (sounds only) but no display.
Why can't I view my video listing?

" The movie is playing (sounds only) but no display."
On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
Also, you have to access the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.
In iTunes right click on a video, then select get info/video. Make sure that the movies are correctly labeled in "video kind".

Problem with viewing videos

Hey there,
Ive looked through various sites and tried all sorts of
different methods to fix this including changing the file
types/mime types on quicktime, reinstalling Flash and shockwave etc
but for the video on thi site
http://freemaagyeman.com/news/
under the series 4 confirmation for Freema it doesnt load. At first
it was a giant Quicktime bubble with a question mark in the middle
and now since reinstalling Flash and shockwave I get a blank screen
with a small box in the top left corner with a red square, green
circle and blue triangle???
It is really frustrating
Does anyone know how to get round this. When Iam in quicktime
and remove all the file types and hover over the Flash Media
selection it says handled by unkown, check browser settings. Does
anyone know how you can associate this with Flash/Shockwave then??
If it helps this is the source code I get for the video:

Problem with viewing video upload on Ideapad Yoga 11S ultrabook

Hi all, this may be a very basic question as I am not very technical... I have just today started using a Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S. (It is Windows 8 with basic Office for home and students loaded on.
I've been sent a video quick link via Media Silo I need to watch and make notes from. For some reason, I cannot maximise the video so it fills the IdeaPad screen. The bottom half of it is off screen so I cannot ff or rw or use the slide to change position.
Any suggestions most welcome.
Guy

Hi guyjevans,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the online video is not playing in full screen mode in your Yoga 11s Laptop, please ensure that the display driver is installed and the browser is installed with Adobe Flash Player so that the online video feature can be used, below is the link to download the display drivers if it is not installed and also the link to download the adobe flash player for the computer.
Display Driver for Windows 8 (64-bit)
Adobe flash player download
Hope this helps!!!
Do post us back if the issue persists.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

Problem with viewing videos on computer

Hi,
When I watch my rushes on my computer (Full HD) it takes all the screen.
Bur after editing on Premiere, when I export a video file as .avi and watch it on the computer, it doesn't take full screen. It's always been like that with all the version I used. So before buying Premiere for sure I want you to explain me why this is happening and how I can fix it. I want to watch my export on a full screen Full HD and it takes the entire screen, exactly like when I watch my rushes.
Thanks

>export a video file as avi
What codec are you using inside that AVI wrapper?
Are you using an HD codec when you export, or an SD codec?

Problem with viewing videos using spacebar quicklook preview in Lion

I've always thought it was great to be able to preview videos quickly by just pressing the spacebar and have been on my Macbook running Snow Leopard for months. I recently bought a new iMac running Lion however but it seems there are some issues with running quicklook on there.
If I press the spacebar on a video in Finder then the preview loads up fine, but if I try and skip to a different point in the video then sometimes the video freezes but the audio carries on, or it will play from where I've selected but the navigator along the bottom will go back to the beginning, the whole thing just generally doesn't behave as it should.
Is there any solution to fixing this?

...I presume that uses Quicktime to work?
It does, but the video files you're trying to preview may not be supported by QT. Download and install the latest versions of Perian and Flip4Mac. You should then be able to see any movie using quicklook.
Perian 1.2.3
http://perian.org
Flip4Mac
http://flip4mac.en.softonic.com/mac
(hit the green download button (free), ignore the one trying to sell you a paid version).
