Might give a try with Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
As long as you don't have a USB connection in tandem with a UPS, which can cause problems. Unplug the USB cable if you do

Real Player not working

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to access the videos at http://www.learnerstv.com, however I keep getting the following message from the embedded Real Player:
"A component needed to play this content is not available.
Real Player may be able to download the missing component."
At which point the prompt asks me if I would like to try opening the file in Real Player (not embedded in the web page, rather the actual program on my computer), if I select "Try in Real Player" then Real Player opens and says:
"Some needed components were not available."
And of course there are no components showing in the window, none available.
I've viewed the "Technical Help" section of the site and I do have the latest version of Real Player, I have Flash player and Shockwave installed as well. Interesting enough though, it does work for some videos, such as:
http://www.learnerstv.com/video/video.php?video=36&cat=Physics (first video in series)
but not for:
http://www.learnerstv.com/video/video.php?video=37&cat=Physics (second video in series)
All the videos work however when I run them on Windows through VMware Fusion. I don't have any firewall/security protection running either.
Does anybody have any ideas on this?

Real Player, much like Windows Media, has pretty much abandoned the Mac platform. They still make a version (WM has a QT plugin that doesn't always work either). A lot of playback ability depends on the codec use and/or the kind of DRM baked into the video. Some of it requires Windows, which is why it works the PCs version but not the Mac.
If you can get it to work via Fusion, but not native on the Mac it would seem to be one of these compatibility issues. Your choice is basically to either use Fusion/Parallels or a regular PC or not use the video at all.
As for Firewall, don't worry the built-in firewall in XP is OK. There is also some good basic free anti-virus s/w. Check out AVG or Avast. Both offer free versions.

After firefox update it will not stream video, explorer will on the same system, what is the problem?

Firefox notified me that an update was available to install and after this install was complete I could not stream video from any site. I was instructed to clear my browser cache, I did ti no avail. I updated Adobe Flash and exhausted the extent of my troubling abilities w/o causing any major system unrest. I accessed the same video steam through explorer on the same system, but firefox is a far superior browser and I like to solve this problem to avoid having to find another browser.
Please advise

I have the same problem. After the upgrade, my wifi is greyed out, and the battery won't hold a charge long. I reset all the settings, tried all the things suggested by Apple, but it didn't work. I took the phone to Verizon, but they said they can't fix it, go to Apple
I made an appointment at the Genius bar, where the staff was incredibly rude and dismissive. A representative told me that the wi-fi is broken and I would need to buy a new phone for $200, because mine is out of warranty. I'm due for an upgrade in a few months, so I'm not going to pay $200 for another 4S now. I'm also not going to buy any more Apple products. Their upgrade caused this problem, and they are not standing behind their producet.

IPAd does not stream video to ATV2 via Airport Extreme

I have a home wireless network based on an Airport Extreme. The network is not connected to the internet but used for streaming media from my MacBook and my IPad to an Apple TV (2nd Gen). The firmware in all components is up to date.
The IPad will not stream video to the ATV, it does stream music. The MacBook streams music & videos.
I can stream video from the IPad to an ATV on another wireless network in another place which uses a Netgear modem router.
Seems to me that there is a problem with the Airport Extreme which allows the MacBook videos through but not those from the IPad. I occasionally get the following message on the IPad "Airplay cannot play video on Apple TV" Apple support have not been able to solve the problem

Have you checked that the software on the AppleTV has been updated to the latest version?

I also got the same error on my Nokia N79 and hence took it to the care centre but the care centre told me that the file size must have been too large cause it can play files upto 100mb .

Sky player and streaming video

I thought that once I had got fibre broadband I would see the end of sky player constantly buffering but alas this is not the case. Not only does it still buffer but the quality is rarely on full. Surely when getting 30mb or more I should not be suffering this now. I have reinstalled silverlight.
Also I am still having sync trouble with streaming video on all of my PC's. The sound gets a second or more out of sync with the video both on you tube and bbc iplayer. This happens on my xp and vista pcs. Anti virus is free avg.

Mature,
When you start Sky Go (Player) do you leave the quality on Auto?? That is the default setting and I know you have good speed but there's a bug in the app, which has been around from day 1. Even my 76Mb down will buffer on the auto setting even though the usage shows anything from 2.8 to 5Mb, if you change this to High instead speed will show 1.9Mb+- and no buffering but with a lot better picture. I know it sounds crazy and Sky thinks the same no matter how many tell them it's happening.
iechyd da
sky twitter account a customer ask why sky go streams are worst then sd and yet bt and eurosports apps stream in hd. Reply from mod, oh thats easy the files for hd are some huge that sky go can't play them and no app can stream hd due to this and so when they say they are they're really sd streams, if there was any way around this we would have done it now.

N78 Real Player not functioning

Real Player was working fine until I tried to edit a video that I had taken on the phone. After this Real Player would not play back anything, either recorded on the phone or downloaded. These videos will play elsewhere.
I have reinstalled the latest firmware but no success.
Any ideas?

Reinstall again the latest firmware and after reinstalling try a soft reset.
Soft reset. In standby dial *#7370# and the phone's security code. Soft reset deletes ALL your phone's data.

ITunes 7.4 will not stream video through front row

I just updated both my macbook pro and my mac mini to iTunes 7.4.1(2). I also updated the firmware for my airport extreme base station. I can no longer stream video using front-row. This happened before when I updated to iTunes 7.2! I suspect, like before, apple will have to send out a patch. Anyone else expierenced this?

Try turning IPv6 ON in your network preferences - this is helping SOME people with this problem. It won't help you at all if your network router doesn't do IPv6.
To turn on: go to Network Preferences, select the interface you use, under teh TCP/IP tab click 'Configure IPv6', and choose 'Automatic'. Save changes.

DVD Player not playing video DVDs

This is a new problem on my MacBook Pro. The DVD player has played videos in the recent past with no problem. Now, when I insert a DVD, the computer attempts to read the disk (at least it sounds that way) and then ejects it. I have repaired permissions and researched on the discussion forums, even downloaded VLC to no avail. The CD player is working fine and all non-video DVDs are being read.

are these legit dvd's from the store or burnt DVD's? also try running a lens cleaner thru the system

Flash player 11.3.300.262 does not stream video with Firefox

Newest Flash Player update does not function with Firefox.

Hey Chris,
I was able to duplicate this issue on my Windows 7 laptop as follows:
     1) Completely uninstall FlashPlayer (using your tool) as well as Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Maintenance Service (used Windows 7 - uninstall from Control Panel). Please note that I checked the box that said "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" to ensure that Firefox was completely gone from my laptop.
     2) I then went out to the Firefox website and downloaded the "Firefox Setup 13.0.1.exe" app to my laptop. I ran this app to install Firefox.
     3) I then went to the following website http://www.ishmael.org.uk/karaoke02.php as I know that this URL uses Flash Player (obviously you can go to any URL that uses Flash Player - I'm just letting you know which one I used). I then clicked on the icon on this page to install Flash Player.
Once the install was completed, the URL stops responding and appears to be locked up (although it will occassionally hiccup and display portions of the page and then lock up again). You will eventually get a pop-up notice from Firefox that has the header "Warning: Unresponsive script" and says the following:
     A script on this page may be busy or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to to see of the script will complete. Script: chrome://browser/content/browser.js:6551
Selecting "Stop script" will get Firefox working until you hit another page that uses Flash Player.
To ensure that the above URL is not the culprit, I used one from your website http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html and had the same results.
Hope this info helps!
Jeff
NOTE: As a reminder, I do not have RealPlayer installed on my laptop (and never have had it installed)

Real Player not working properly since upgrade to Snow Leopard

Ok, before I start, I know RealPlayer is not an Apple product, but I am not premium Real content subscriber, and I don't expect to get any support from Real on this matter.
I only use the player to listen to BBC Radio which is vital to me as I live outside the UK.
The problem is that since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, the streaming bit rate won't go above 21kbps which obviously reduces the sound quality. I checked what it was doing in Activity Monitor, (version 11.0) and it is not 64bit. Could this be the cause of the problem?

RealPlayer is a 32-bit application, but that shouldn't be a problem. It should run on Snow Leopard as well as it did on Leopard. It plays BBC Radio at 45Kbps on my Mac. Do you have the latest version (11.1.0)? Check the speed settings in its "Connection" preference.

.flv not streaming video after FMS 2 install

We were previously running Flash Communications server 1.5,
and have installed FMS 2.0. We copied over our stream files with
the same folder structure, but when the .flv file is streamed, the
audio plays (and the connectios show up in the administraton
console), but the video (from the same file) does not show up.
Any help would be apprecieated.
Thanks,

http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashmediaserver/201/releasenotes.html
"A race condition in stream management would sometimes result
in Netstream.Play.Stop not being sent to the client, which
prevented the FLV Player from playing the stream properly."
The 2.01 update fixed this problem.

Where does Flash player cache streaming video on Chrome

Ive been streaming a video from BBC iplayer and trying to see where Flash player caches it. It
doesn't seem to be in the standard Chrome cache as with youtube videos
Can anyone advise?
Thanks

The data are in:
C:\Documents and Settings\{yourname}\Data aplikací\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\
where Data aplikací means something like application data or something like that in english.
I'm not sure if you can change that location. Maybe by hacking in registries.

Flash Player not streaming

I have Flash Player 9 and SWFObject 2. With Flash Player in
an HTML file all works fine off line, but when I put the same files
on a web site it works but does not seem to stream. It waits until
the whole swf file has been dowloaded ( about 30 mins) before it
starts playing.
I have searched the web and found 4 or 5 different versions
of how to embed the player etc, but all do the same thing.
Is there something I have to do to make it stream?

My apple tv is not streaming video without stopping

When streaming films from my mac air to apple TV the internet steaming is non stop
But the apple TV stopped while it is buffering.
So although the film runs without stopping on the Mac Air screen it keeps stopping when being mirrord on the HD Tv via the Aplle TV.
It seems like the Apple TV is not keeping up with the video feed from the mac air
Please advise?

this looks like a clogged network.
How are you connecting MBA and Apple TV?
If both are on WiFi - try to connect Apple TV via cable to your router (if possible). This will improve the newtrok bandwidth.
