Safari is not playing .mpg videos while navegating in the web

I am having problems with the Safari web browser.
While navigating the web, if I want to watch a video that has an ".mpg" extension, it will simply open a new window and leave it blank without starting the QuickTime plug in to play the video.
I remember Safari used to be able to reproduce almost any type of video files/extensions from the web (after installing Flip4mac...) directly in the web browser, however, not long ago it just simply stopped playing the .mpg extension videos.
I want to be able to view .mpg videos directly in the web browser. Please help me out!
I believe that .mpg is a really common type of file and I just can't believe that the web browser in my iBook G4 is not going to reproduce them....
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
In System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced>Mime settings>MPEG, are all boxes selected (they ought to be)? If not, select all, and restart the computer. If all boxes are selected, does the same problem occur if using Safari in another User Account?
Creating a New User Account: Here is guidance from Apple on how to set up the account. You can ignore step 7 in the article.
Also, on the system preference>Accounts panel, click on "log-in" options. There, select "fast user switching". This allows you to go back and forth between user accounts via an icon in your Menu Bar at the top of the computer screen.
Log-on to the new account and start Safari. If the sites are accessible in the new account, then your problem is specific to your regular user account. Otherwise, similar response means a system-wide problem.

Safari will not play streaming video or audio

Hi everyone,
I have had my iBook for a year and never even tried to take advantage of streaming video or audio b/c I had a dial-up connetion until very recently. Now that I have a high speed connection I would like to watch trailers and listen to music on myspace. I cannot watch trailers at www.apple.com/trailers/ or any video on myspace.com. Nor can I listen to music (I think they are xml files) on myspace.com. I'm currently running on Mac OSX 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Well I have the opposite effect here - the video plays fine on my MBP, yet not on my Intel iMac. On the iMac the video panel never appears. Rather tells me it needs Flash.
Safari is the same on both systems (or at least that's what I think). No plugin blocks are present. To test if the Preference files might be causing the problem, On the iMac, I moved to the desktop from the Macromedia folder in ~/Library/Preferences folder the folder inside the SharedObjects folder. Restarted the system/Safari but the video still does not play.
In the past, Layers magazine has not been a problem, however, I haven't viewed one for several months. Given what others have posted, there seems to be an oddity here that is not machine or Safari specific. I'll have to investigate more when I have time tomorrow.
Try the Video from another user account. See if this is system-wide, or just specific to your user account. BTW, video played fine on the iMac in Firefox.

Safari Does Not Play Youtube Videos

Hi,
I updated safari to the latest version (6.1.2) on my MacBook Pro (10.7.5) and now it does not play any Youtube videos at all. All I get is a black space instead of a video - neither video nor audio.
Does anyone know how to resolve the issue?
Best,

Go step by step and test.
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.
3. Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.
     http://www.youtube.com/html5
    At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box beside
   "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
4. Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Uncheck the boxes beside all items.

Hello, Setya Widya.

I would also attempt to update the device using iTunes on your computer and test accessing these applications after the update.

Safari 5 not playing streaming video

I updated to Safari 5 a couple days after it was released. Just today, it has stopped playing streaming content, such as videos from hulu. The only suggestion I found was to change the User Agent to Safari 4.1, but this didn't help. Any suggestions?

Have you tried resetting Safari? If that does not work try creating a new user account and test Safari with the new account. If the new account works it is possible that one of Safari's plist files is corrupt in your main user account.

I got a new home dock station and it does not play my music while its in the dock. my neighbor has the same phone and hers works fine in my dock station.wondering why?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Hi,
If you haven't already, try restoring the iPod and setting it up as a new device. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3828 provides more details about setting the iPod touch up as a new device.
Remember:
If you choose to set up as a new iPhone or iPod, first back up any important backups of that device you want to retain from the backup folders listed above. iTunes only retains one sync-generated backup per device, and the first sync after setting up as new will replace your previous backup. If you change your mind and want to restore to your previous state, you will have to do so from a backup that you have retained through your periodic backup routine. If you have Mac OS 10.5.5 or later and use Time Machine, Time Machine may back up your backup. Copies of a backup marked with a date and time stamp created by selecting to "Restore from the back up of" are retained by iTunes and not overwritten. For an example of a backup with the date and time stamp in the device name, see the picture below in the Deleting a Backup section.

I can not play .mpg (video file) on the SuperDrive

Bought for my iMac SuperDrive. On the DVD-R disc recorded video file .mpg. Insert into the SuperDrive and it does not see the file. More precisely see each file in 1 second and disappears immediately. What's the problem? On Windows, everything works fine.

Photoshop elements 10 will not play uploaded video clips. Only the sound for the clip is available.

The clips are playable with Quicktime or Windows Media Player.

You need Premier Elements 10 or 11 not photoshop elements. Photoshop is for photos and general images; I doubt it can edit/play videos despite the core program elements are common to both applications. They are marketed as joint programs by Adobe but most people opt for individual products AFAIK.

Safari in 64-bit mode on Snow Leopard does not play YouTube videos

Recently Safari stopped playing youtube videos while Safari is in 64-bit mode. The entire page renders correctly; however the area where the video is supposed to play remains a black box without controls. I can watch video from other sites, or I can watch video from youtube if I use another browser like firefox. Additionally, I can go to the youtube video owner's channel and view videos there just fine. It's only when I try to view videos that use the "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" method of displaying a video using Safari in 64-bit mode that it fails to play -- it plays fine with Safari in 32-bit mode.

It's not !. Flash player 10.1 is no better (as you can verify by downgrading here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html)

I found on an other post more informations. The problems is in OS X since Yosemite 10.10.1 it doesn't work, we will have to wait for a new Update form apple (10.10.2) to resolve that issue.
Use an other browser instead meanwhile. For more information ; Re: Yosemite 10.10.1 causing Safari not to play YouTube videos...

Flash player only works in administrator account. In other accounts safari can't play flash videos (youtube or others) while firefox can. OSX 10.5.8 safari 5.0.5 / latest flash player. I have tried almost everything. Reinstall safari and flash player, repair permissions.... Any help?

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 that didn't help, install the v10.5.8 combo update.
