Safari browser not loading videos properly?

Every time I use Safari to load videos or go on YouTube, the video either does not load properly and gives me an error message "your browser does not currently recognize this format" or it says HTML5 and I have to click on it for it to load. The message usually goes away when I refresh the browser and the HTML5 message will appear. The video usually works after I click on it, however the video doesn't play in YouTube's video player. It's just really inconvenient not being able to use YouTube's video player or even other video players on different websites. I was wondering is there anything I can do to fix this, or this just the way Safari loads videos?
I've attached some images showing the issues.
Thanks for any help!

  • My Safari browser not loading...why won't software update detect network connection?

    I am using Foxfire browser, and glad I did at least download such...even though Foxfire updates are not recognized by my Lion system.  This unnerves me a bit since I'd be dead in the water...and my Foxfire is getting more outdated by the day.
    My Safari browser comes up...but then does not load...remains blank.
    I tried doing a Software Update...but my system is not finding network connection.  When I did the diagnostic, my system DID recognize my wifi connection and as good.
    What should I do...?  Would like my Safari back, but more important I suppose is getting my software updates...
    thanks
    my system is Lion OS X  10.7.2

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Safari browser not loading web pages

    Hi All!
    I am currently on a 2 GHz intel core 2 Duo Imac and currently running Safari Version 5.1.1. My issue is that as soon as I open safari and try and load any web page it just stalls after 10% of loading. The same happens with any page I attempt to visit. I know it's not an issue with WiFi due to the fact I am also running Chrome and it booted up just fine. I have also already cleared out all of the Cashe and reset Safari.
    Has anyone else run into this issue? Any solutions out there?
    Any help would be much appriciated!
    Best Regards,
    Sivil

    First, please update your profile with your current Mac OS version. Then enable guest logins and log in as Guest. Launch Safari and test. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and disable it if you wish.

  • MacBook 5.1 Safari will not load

    I'm having trouble loading Safari on my MacBook 5. Before this morning I had no issues. Today when I attempt to pull up a Safari browser my entire computer locks up. If I have the Force Quit open I can cancel the browser. If not, I can't even select the Apple in the far top left corner.
    Everything else works fine but Safari gets hung everytime. I get so far as half of the homepage displayed then it just stops.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did the following (outlines in a previous post)
    If your Safari won't open, one or more of the following procedures should fix it:
    1. Go to Home/Library/Safari/ folder and remove the following two files:
    • history.plist
    • lastsession.plist
    (Safari may not load properly If these two files are corrupted.)
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/ and remove the contents of that folder.
    (These are just webhistory files and are not required for Safari to run. However, similar to preference files, problems can arise if they have become corrupt.)
    3. Locate the cookies.plist file that's located in the Home/Library/Cookies/ folder and remove it.
    (Again, faults in stored cookies may interfere with Safari's launch.)
    4. Check whether any of your third-party internet plug-ins may be interfering with the launch of Safari by carefully moving them to the desktop (do NOT delete them at this stage). You can find these in two places:
    Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder, and Global plug-ins are located in the Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder.
    Also look in Library/Input Managers where other third party add-ons may lurk. If you find a SIMBL folder, please note that some SIMBLE.bundles may require updating or possibly removal.
    Restart Safari and place them back in the correct folders, one at a time, closing and re-opening Safari each time. If you discover that one of them was causing the problem with launching Safari, trash it and download and install a fresh copy.
    Lastly, repair permissions.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    you could try this.
    Go to system prefs>users>create a guest account.
    log into  the guest account and launch safari 5.1 from there
    and see if you experience the same issues.
    if you do not, then it is certainly a preference issue, or conflicting extension, possibly a cookies issue
    alternatively, a swifter method to resolve this issue, would be to get an app called "AppZapper"
    open appzapper, make sure safari is closed (once open, you may need to uncheck in the appzapper prefs,'keep apple apps safe'),
    drag the app into the box, and it will auto discover all related supporting files for safari.
    you can then either delete them all at will, then remove the files from the trash and place them in a folder to restore individually at a later date. or select which ones you want to go

  • Why does my browser not load web pages?

    I have been having trouble with my browser not loading web pages.  After clicking on a link or typing in a web page, the page will usually not load.  I have to reload the page a few times, then it will work fine.  I have this problem with all web pages.  As for pages like youtube, if I can get a video to start playing, it will stop loading at random times.  I can back up in the video and start playing again, sometimes this will lead to the video playing further, only to stop loading again.  Help please!

    Try streching it with the bottom left corner. Also try view zom in. You can also try safari preferences resetsafari.

  • My Safari will not load any secure website

    Hello Everyone,
    Recently my Safari will not load any secure webpage that I try to connect to, i.e.: Google, Gmail, YouTube, PayPal, but Safari will load insecure webpages that I have either bookmarked or that I manually type in their URL.  Everytime I try and load one of these secure webpages like Google, i get the error "Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server www.google.com."  I have searched through these threads and have tried a few of the remedies suggested, all to no avail.  I've reset Safari, I've deleated all plug-ins, I've cleared cashes and history, I've removed all cookies and internet data, I've changed my Mac's dns to Google's 8.8.8.8 // 8.8.4.4, and still no fix.  The problem even persists in safemode.  Even the webpages I can load take forever to load.  Just getting to this forum took nearly 3 hours as every page loaded took roughly 10-15 minutes.  I am at a loss as to what could be causing this and how to fix it.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You may have more than one issue, but the most important one is that your internal hard drive is failing, or there is some other hardware fault.
    Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • My safari will not load in normal mode.  I can load in safe mode only.

    My safari will not load in normal mode.  i can only load in safe mode.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At or near the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "System Version." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Safari will not display video content/flash etc on websites ie youtube etc

    I am running Panther 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6). When trying to access Youtube, Facebook etc Safari does not display video/animation etc and so Safari closes with an error. It will also not play video content on the Apple website. I would also like to know the following if someone could please help; What is the best software to upgrade to ie Tiger? etc ; What is the maximum memory upgrade for my machine and what would I ask for and best place to buy? Any assistance is much appreciated. Kind regards VJR1OK!!

    You may find some improved online performance with Panther 10.3.9 with
    the last supported Flash and Shockwave players installed (older ones have
    to be uninstalled) and though the use of Camino browser since it is up-to-date.
    There still will be some limitations; but if you have the correct Flash/Shockwave
    players for Panther installed and get Camino, and use it as a default replacement
    for that ancient Safari, that would make a difference. Also, it always makes sense
    to get more RAM in an older computer since they usually shipped with very little.
    In the case of older computers, often the capacity of the hard disk drive was also
    a matter of marginalization. A large enough drive to have plenty of free space in
    it, after applications and the OS X is installed, so the system can have room for
    temporary files and Virtual Memory, then it can run the last supported OS X ok.
    An externally enclosed bootable hard drive (FireWire enclosed unit) could be
    used to add space or a second system for use when at a desktop, so for the
    sake of discussion, the internal drive would not necessarily need replaced to
    check out a different operating system that may need more room in a drive.
    RAM is an easy fix; and a new browser from Camino.org - plus those players.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Safari is not loading pages correctly or even not at all. Help please!

    So my Safari is not loading pages correctly, making some have just plain text with no images, and others partially loaded with no images or no video.
    Some pages, after trying to refresh, completely refuse to load and say that Safari can't find the server. These pages work on firefox, which is also on the same computer and what I am having to use to type this currently.
    I have already reset Safari, as well as disabled extensions (which I didn't have any) and neither has fixed the issue.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

  • Firefox 13 will not load video

    firefox 13 will not load video - live feed - from websites - other browser - says can not connect

    This can be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.
    See:

  • Safari will not load webpages

    Safari will not load web pages. The browser hangs and stops loading completel and will not connect to the internet, even though I am perfectly connected to wifi...so I know it's not the wifi that's a problem. I have looked through multiple forums for troubleshooting safari to no avail.
    I know for a fact that the problem lies within safari SOMEWHERE, and since the only way for me to connect to the internet is through safari (i'm on a school network that doesn't allow me to connect to any other web browsers), I can't run any updates, reinstall safari, download any programs, etc.
    I'm totally stuck in a rut and I don't know what to do...help!

    Launch the Terminal application and copy or drag -- don't type -- the line below into the window:
    curl -I http://www.apple.com
    Press return. You should get several lines of output below what you entered, starting with this:
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Is that what you get?
    Safari will not load webpages 
    I figured out a way to drag the link into the terminal application, and I did get lines of output starting with HTTP/1.1 200 OK

  • Safari will not load after update to 5.0.1

    Ever since I updated my MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo, Leopard 10.5.8) all available software yesterday, including an update to Safari 5.0.1, nothing will load on Safari.
    It will get stuck in a perpetual load with the status bar not reaching further than the http://.
    I have tried EVERYTHING (well, it feels like everything) including totally uninstalling Safari and reinstalling. I've also deleted caches, reset every setting, checking that it's running in 32-bit, made sure it's not running with Rosetta, everything I could find on forums up to now.
    I have also tried reinstalling an older version and despite having deleted EVERY single Safari file from my computer, it keeps telling me that I have a newer version instaled so it won't downgrade (As an aside, that is RIDICULOUS, utterly ridiculous)
    Please please please help me as I need to use Safari and related programmes every day for work and this is making me very frustrated!

    Welcome to the forums!
    If your Safari won't open, one or more of the following procedures should fix it:
    1. Go to Home/Library/Safari/ folder and remove the following two files:
    • history.plist
    • lastsession.plist
    (Safari may not load properly If these two files are corrupted.)
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/ and remove the contents of that folder.
    (These are just webhistory files and are not required for Safari to run. However, similar to preference files, problems can arise if they have become corrupt.)
    3. Locate the cookies.plist file that's located in the Home/Library/Cookies/ folder and remove it.
    (Again, faults in stored cookies may interfere with Safari's launch.)
    4. Check whether any of your third-party internet plug-ins may be interfering with the launch of Safari by carefully moving them to the desktop (do NOT delete them at this stage). You can find these in two places:
    Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder, and Global plug-ins are located in the Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder.
    Also look in Library/Input Managers where other third party add-ons may lurk. If you find a SIMBL folder, please note that some SIMBLE.bundles may require updating or possibly removal.
    Restart Safari and place them back in the correct folders, one at a time, closing and re-opening Safari each time. If you discover that one of them was causing the problem with launching Safari, trash it and download and install a fresh copy.
    Lastly, repair permissions.
