Safari is not playing certain flash videos that used to work

I just installed Mac OS X (10.6.4) Snow Leopard yesterday. A website that I was previously able to stream flash video on is no longer working since moving from Mac OS X (10.5) to Snow Leopard. Maybe there is a new add-on that I'm missing. I'm using Safari 5.0.2 as a browser (the flash video does not play on Firefox either). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the link to the site: http://mnn2.mnntv.org/OnAir/flash

HI,
Uninstall your current copy of Flash, reinstall new, repair permissions.
Go here and follow the instructions to uninstall Flash. Uninstall Flash
Install the most recent version of Flash here.
Now repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

My ipad2 will not play my iTunes video that i just purchased; i've deleted and reloaded, but they still won't play, only the music

My ipad2 will not play my itunes videos that i just purchased; I've deleted and reloaded them twice, but still won't play; plays music only, any suggestions?

You are playing them in the Videos app correct? Music Videos will play the video in the videos app, not in the Music app.

Safari cannot play certain flash videos

After the latest update safari cannot play some flash videos, it can be a youtube video as well...
There's a hungarian site that has videos and my safari cannot play any of them. The site is www.indavideo.hu . On a MacBook Air the Outlook cannot open new mail and a Microsoft community site said that it is a problem caused by safari... What?
I've tried to delete flash, reinstall it, delete Java, reinstall it, but Java works fine.
I think I should reinstall Safari, but I don't want to reinstall the whole computer...
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks,
Csaba

For Flash issues, try this ...
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Back to Safari. Press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
Quit and relaunch Safari, try a video.
If that doesn't help, you may have the YouTube HTML5 beta enabled.
Opt out here > YouTube
Keep in mind, Outlook is a Microsoft product, not Apple and therefore, you may experience problems. However, you may be able to setup your Outlook account in the Mac Mail app.
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar click File > Add Account
That way you won't have to use Safari (web based email) to access your Outlook acocunt.

Safari Does Not Play QuickTime/.mpg Video, Only Audio

Quicktime video not playing in safari. Checked new user, issue persists, it's a system wide issue. All the settings are right. Worked before. Still works in Firefox and other browsers. Repaired permissions. Even video on the Apple site does not work. Flash still works, windows media content still works via Flip4Mac. I was just wondering if anyone discovered an easy fix for this issue. I don't feel like doing the archive and install (preserving) or re-imaging it. Everything is up to date except for the security update and itunes. Just stopped working tonight though, not right after I did the last updates. As I said. I know the traditional way to attack this, and even a couple time consuming non traditional ways. What I am looking for here is the quick fix (if there is one). Thanks.

Well, since we are all using different versions of Safari but the same version of QT, I headed over to the QT forum and found this - which seems to work for me.
I just dragged the file to the desktop, tho.
"I removed the QuickTime Plugin.webplugin.
Mac HD > Library > Internet Plug-Ins
1. Drag QuickTime Plugin.webplugin to the trash.
2. Relaunch Safari and the QuickTime video that was not playing previously.
3. The video portion should now work."

Have a 64GB flash drive that used to work and after an update, now doesn't show up in finder

I have a 64GB flash drive that worked just fine and Finder would show it when I would insert it, well it seems that after I updated my mac it now doesn't recognize or show the flash drive. I am unsure if the update did something but like I said it worked previously to update and it works on other windows based computers. So is there a way I can fix this?

Hey Raveybaby
I would check to see if it shows up in Disk Utility. If it does, run a Repair Disk on it and also mount the flash drive as well. If it does not show up, check other ports as well.

I cannot play certain flash videos on my computer

Hi, my mac has stopped playing some avi files (that used to work). I can see the video. Does anyone know why and what i can do? My version of quicktime is 7.6.9.

Hi i have avi files saved in iphoto that i used to be able to play through quicktime. However in the last few weeks i cannot play many of these files. I can see the videos and click on them but nothing happens (i have version 7.6.9 of quicktime). Does anyone know why this has happened and what i can do about this?
Thanks.

What do you mean by what audio/video formats are involved? These are all files from several digital cameras.
As previously stated, AVI is a file container. It is somewhat old and its originator, Microsoft, dropped official support of it over a decade ago. However, it remains popular with PC users since almost any valid audio and/or video compression format can be stuffed to the file which synchronizes the content by interleaving the individual audio and video frames. The compression format is the specific manner in which the audio and video data are encoded as it is placed in the AVI container. You can find the compression format by inspecting the file in the Finder "Info" window, or in the "Inspector" window of the QT player (or other media player) if the file can be opened.
For instance, one popular compression combination would be to place DivX encoded video and MP3 audio in an AVI file container. However, neither DivX nor MP3 is natively supported by the QT player. (Although iTunes will natively support the MP3 audio.) Therefore, people who wish to play such files in the QT 7 Player would normally install either the DivX component or Perian but not both. Either installation will independently play such files in the QT Player, but if both are installed, the file will usually stop working since these two codecs can create a playback conflict.
However, the AVI container could just as easily contain DV along with DV audio. In this case, the file should play correctly in QT since this compression format is natively supported by the basic component configuration that comes in every current OS installation. Therefore, if such files suddenly stopped playing, this could be an indication that a component has been moved or deleted or that your system or QT embedded structure has become corrupted.

Additional Steps:
I just updated Flash again to the latest version MAC
I reset Safari back to defaults
This issue may be just my setup but I cannot figure out nor think of the appropriate question to ask to start to troubleshoot besides the one provided in this thread.
This is the web page I am having issues with Safari:
http://doc-fu.com/episodes
NOTE: This site is built using Drupal 6
I've tested this page on all other browsers MAC + PC and the videos load fine and play accordingly, even the preview poster displays
Testing the same page with Safari MAC + PC and I get a blank Flash screen but the YouTube logo still appears, see following image:
Here comes the confusing part, Under HTTP I get the above blank Flash screen YET when I switch to HTTPS like so https://doc-fu.com/episodes, the videos display and play as expected. Additionally, when under HTTPS all the other browsers DO NOT display the flash video.
I am able to play videos on YouTube's website.
Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
Thank you very much for your help,

Safari does not play movie stream

Does anyone have any idea why Safari does not play the movies on the web page
http://www.3sat.de/delta/
You can find them under "Web-TV" (you have to click a little bit until a small window opens which has a button called "video starten" at the bottom right).
I believe the movies are reaplayer video streams.
Needless to say that the movies work just fine in Firefox ...
Any ideas, hints, pointers will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Hello Gabriel,
The video does play for me in a popup window via realplayer.
it also has the option to open in WMP.
Web TV
It will not play in realplayer itself, when i click for it to play in real Player this
Server alert
Unable to locate server. This server does not have a DNS entry. Please check the server name in the URL and try again.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.3sat.de%2Fdelta%2F
Safari is also picky about code, this one is not the poorest & it does work for me so it seems something is interfering in your user account or computer,.
Have you tried the site in a test account if not that would be telling.
Let us know if it works there.

How do you play a Flash video and then close the player?

I have a splash page that plays a .swf. At the end of the
video the home.html page is opened. As/after the home page launches
I want to play a Flash video and then have the player close.
I am willing to trade wife, children or beagles for the info.

Are these two separate browser windows? One for the Flash
.swf and a different window for the home.html document? Is this
correct:
1. show .swf in one window,
2. open new, second, window with home.html
3. show second .swf in first window
4. close first window when second .swf finishes
If this is the scenario, then no, you can't reliably close
the first window. You can use Javascript to close a browser window,
but, if that window wasn't opened using Javascript, then it may not
close gracefully, or in the case of IE, may display a prominent
error message.

ITunes not playing some music videos

My iTunes (ver. 10.1) will play the audio for some music videos but not the video. They are videos that were downloaded via the iTunes Store in the past and all but 2 are doing this and they are all the same format. No, I'm not using AirTunes! And I haven't exceeded my "authorizations" limit. I'm just trying to play the videos on my laptop with regular speakers. TV Shows and short films that I have work fine, and so do some videos that I got from outside of the Store. I tried opening them in Quicktime and it does the exact same thing, audio but no video. I tried repairing permissions and nothing changed. I even went back into my Time Machine and when I did that the files wouldn't work from there either, even though I know they worked a year ago! At first, it showed the file thumbnail, but when I clicked on it the thumbnail went gray. Any ideas what the heck is going on here???

Alright! Looks like the latest update to iTunes actually fixed my problem!
I noticed in the update notes that it was supposed to address certain problems with the graphics card (Nvidia 9400 and 9600) not playing certain video files correctly. I thought it was worth a try, so after I updated I played the videos that previously were not working and voila! They work now!
For those of you who had a similar problem I would try it with the iTunes 10.1.1 (4) update and see if they work. Otherwise, I guess you've got a different problem. Good luck!
