Some videos do not play when "Block all sites from storing information on this computer" is selected

I have CS5 installed on my i Mac, running OS X Lion 10.7.5. Using Firefox, I have been having trouble with Adobe TV and the other instructional video's, however some of the video's promoting the new products do work (not all), but when I right click the menu gives me an option that shows flash player 11. whatever is working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the version that came with my CS5 Design Premium only to be told that to play the video's I have to update my flash player, when I do then the same nothing happens again.
I can however run the video's on my iPad2 with Safari, haven't set up yet with Firefox. This is becoming a real pain to make room on my desk to view both screens so that I can use the tutorials, video's and tips while working on the various programs. I have checked all of the forum questions that have anything close to my issue to solve the problem. Unfortuately none of the suggestions posted so far have helped.
If anyone has any other suggestions for me I would be truly grateful.
Thank you, Tess.

I know that you have to confirm some of these settings and the exact
versions Installed and Running to troubleshoot an issue. Believe me that I
have been trying to resolve this issue for some time now using every
suggestion that I can find online (your forums and other site forums). I
have uninstalled and reinstalled some dozen times over the last couple of
months trying to correct whatever happened to cause this problem, I will
continue trying to look for other conflicts or blocks of some kind that may
have come from some update. I haven't updated my OS yet until some of the
issues are resolved by Apple, the college I attend updated the lab computers
and now we cannot scan directly into Photoshop CS4 anymore. I have CS5
Design Premium but just in case I will hold off for a while to upgrade.
If I find the issue on my own I will send the information to you so that if
anyone else has the same problem perhaps they won't have so many headaches
to fix the issue. See below and attached for all the screens and versions
that I am currently running for Flash Player, Firefox and the graphics card
information

Some videos will not play in the Public site

For some reason, I have quite a few videos that do not play in the public site while other videos play just fine. When selecting a video, the player opens but the video never starts.
Any ideas?

Hi dalekw83,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If videos will not play in iTunes for Windows, start with the troubleshooting tips found here:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

All the best,

Some videos will not play in FF 4 (and earlier versions)

Some videos will not play in FF 4 (and earlier versions) particularly on facebook. I have the latest version of shockwave flash. Here's what I've tried and has not worked: disabled ad blocker, turned hardware acceleration on/off, installed WMP plug-in, installed VLC multimedia plug-in, installed quick time plug-in, changed plugin-container.exe compatibility to win98/ME. Samething in Win 7. Thanks.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Videos will not play when Adobe Flash is installed

I have always used Adobe Flash, and never had a problem with it. When I installed the lastest release several months ago, I discovered that videos would not play at all. It's not just You Tube either; it's whatever site I visit. Six months of dealing with that was too much, so I uninstalled it, went online to look for an alternative, and guess what? The videos play just fine at MOST sites. Others say that I need to install Flash Player.
This is confusing, especially since I have no idea as to why this is happening. At the moment I do not have Flash installed, but I do need to resolve this. Any help would be appreciated, as far as ideas, recommendations etc. Thank you.

YouTube is almost finished with the transition to HTML5 (MP4). The reason thay've done this is to be accessible to phone and tablet viewers who can't use Flash. Javascript in their pages determines if a browser has Flash Player, and if it doesn't, the page will display video in HTML5. THAT's why you see what you do there. NOT ALL websites have done this though. Yahoo is working on it, as are Hulu, Dailymotion and others. NetFlix has switched to SilverLight for playback which causes its own problems if you don't have THAT installed.
Add to this mix, Microsoft released (without any "real world" testing) IE 11 almost two months ago (October 18) and it's been a nightmare to say the least. Pages/Sites don't recognize it because they screwed up some code in it, and... if a page or site can't recognize the browser, it certainly won't recognize any plug-ins it uses. Not a problem for HTML5 video which doesn't require the Player, but Facebook games, Pogo, and many other Flash sites DO require a browser and plug-in that the code recognizes.
Is IE11 your browser by chance?

Anyone had video just not play when on the timeline?

Video is just not playing when pulled down to the timeline. Seems to resolve itself for a bit after I reboot the program.

Using optimized media should be fine to work with given those specs.
Does the problem happen often? When you say it doesn't play, I'm not exactly sure what you mean.
One thing to check for is that the timeline scrollbar hasn't moved (vertically) so that the issue isn't just that you can't see it due to a scrolling issue. This has happened to me a few times -- especially when zooming in/out. I think it's a bug. But all you have to do is scroll up to get your clips back into view.

Some videos will not play (blank screen).

Some of my videos will not play. I select the video and a "Play" arrow shows in the upper left portion of the screen, but the screen is dark (blank). I can press Menu and return.
I don't believe it's a size issue because certain other larger videos do play. Nor do I think it's a format issue because all of the videos are the same format (*.m4v). It also doesn't appear to be a time/sync issue because some videos added after others do play and some don't.
I really don't have a problem reformatting and starting over if that is the best or only solution as I only use iTunes and don't have calendar, notes, etc.
Thanks in advance.
iTunes Ver 10.5.1.42
iPod Classic 30Gb Ver 1.3
O/S Windows XP SP3

Where are these from? Are they from the iTunes Store or where they downloaded elsewhere and then added to your library? Perhaps you can try restoring your iPod to factory settings and then resyncing the videos back over to it.
If the videos are not from iTunes, perhaps you can try and re-convert them using a third party utility such as Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip.

My MOV videos do not play when I burn a DVD using iPhoto.

My MOV movies do not play when I burn a DVD using iPhoto. I can use the other method with my Mac to burn DVDs but the videos are not good quality like they are in my iPhoto albums. How can I get better quality in the DVD videos if I am unable to burn a DVD using iPhoto? I upgraded to the free Mavericks.

Hi
Most common origin to this are:
Brand of DVD used - NoName, Memorex etc cheap brands might work as Data-DVDs - BUT NOT as Video-DVDs
Type of DVD used - I only use SL-DVD-R as they also playback on older DVD-players. DVD+R for newer DVD-players. Never ever DVD+/-RW. Dual-Layers usually creates more problems than Single-Layers
BURN SPEED - Very IMPORTANT factor - I never go faster than x4 - Normally I use x2
Material used - Video Codec, Photo and Audio file formats
Video-Codec: StreamingDV, AIC and HDV (I use)
Photo: .jpg - NO .bmp or other - all converted to .jpg first
Audio: .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz (as on Audio-CDs) - NO .mp3, wma etc ailient formats - all converted to ..aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz first
Free Space: on Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard Disk - I never go less than 25Gb when doing Video-DVDs (for SD-Quality Video - if HD material is used 4-5 times more are a safe low level) (Other external Hard Disks - DO NOT COUNT as space here can not be addressed by Mac OS or iDVD for it’s massive use of .temp files)
Dusty DVD-burner Laser: I use a Cleaning DVD (no liquid but the one with brushes) from time to time.
Harmed DVD-burner Laser: Easy to do by burning more than three DVDs at a time - I let it rest for 30 minutes till next batch of three DVDs. If this happened - then only a costly repair will help. It will not heal by it self.
OBS: There are more than one Laser in the DVD-Burner so other functions might work OK as Playback CD/DVDs and even burn CDs. Still being broken.

Why video does not play when embedded in a PDF when viewed in Windows 8?

I have a situation where video must be embedded within the PDF document and it was working for us using older versions of IE and on 32 bit machines and using acrobat X. When the same file was tested on Windows 8 it looks good and behaves well except the embedded video does not play. The same video (.mp4) will play on the new OS if it is not embedded in the PDF.
Is this because the PDF is looking for a 32 bit flash player? Am I doing something wrong and/or is there a fix for this situation?

Are you watching the pdf file from Adobe Reader?
Windows 8 by default has a diferent reader for pdf files that does not support rich media elements.

Video does not play when imported from FCP

When I import a clip from FCP into motion the clip opens up however only one frame shows up in the motion viewer. When I press play, there is no video..only that particular frame that was showing.
The media tab shows the .mov file, and plays it in seperate window when i double click on it.
Thanks for helping me out.

How do you bring the file into Motion and what file are you actually opening in Motion?
Are you exporting your FCP project as QT? or
Are you sending your FCP project to Motion?

Hisham

Videos Will Not Play When Using Safari Browser

G'day,
When I use IE 7 or Fire Fox Browsers the You Tube Videos play fine on my My Space page, they load on Safari, begin to start then freeze. Any help would be appreciated
<Edited by Moderator>

Try installing the plugin for Adobe Flash from this URL:

if that doesn't work, a new one may be available at adobe.com:

Video does not play in preview window.

I have recently upgraded to CS4 from CS3.
In any part of CS4 that uses video; Encore, Premeire and After Effects, video will not play in the preview window from a timeline when the play button is pressed. The playhead doesn't move, but the Play button toggles from Pause to Play when pressed. However, when I scrub the video, I can see it in the window. Video played fine in CS3.
My graphics card is a PNY nVidia Quadro FX 570 with the 178.26 driver. My computer is a Dell Precision 670.
I recently completed a project where I had to trim about 48 QuickTime video files created in Premiere 2.0, compressed with Sorensen 3.
The files were then added to Encore, and a DVD was created. The DVD worked fine. At no time could I preview video, unless I opened the edited video in QuickTime.
This has also happened with still and AVIs.
At no time do any of the CS4 programs freeze or crash the system.
Has anyone had this happen to them. Is it a graphics card issue.... I can't seem to find any info on a similar problem.
Thanks.

Try turning off (or lowering) Hardware Acceleration for your graphics card.
At the Windows Desktop, Right Click and select "Properties". Under the "Settings" Tab, select "Advanced". Select the "Troubleshoot" Tab and reduce the Hardware Acceleration. You will need to restart you computer to see if it worked. First, try it with no Acceleration. If it works, try increasing the Hardwar Accelearation one notch at a time - rebooting your computer each time. \
I obtained this procedure from the Adobe Technical Staff.

Why the audio of my video in my itunes is not playing when i fullscreen it? :( HElp me please..

Hi eversonjm,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you are out of authorizations but only have 1 computer, deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing your correct computer might be a good idea. See this article for instructions:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
If after deauthorizing and reauthorizing your computer, you are still not authorized for the 96 songs, this article has some steps for seeing the account name that was used to purchase a song, in the event that a different account may have been used:

I noticed after switching from IE9 to Firefox that some website videos will not play. How is this corrected?

I sometimes want to look at how-to videos. Some play and some do not in Firefox. When a message does come up on the screen it says someting like 'sorry, but the video will not play...do you wish to download the plugin?'. Because I am very catious about what I download, I am not confident about downloading a plugin. Does anyone know what I need for Firefox to play all website videos?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I am adding this to my original question:
I see that quick-time is an available plugin...Is this soething that will work?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thank you

You're welcome. Glad I was able to help you.

ITunes will play some videos, but not others?

Hello,
I use my MacBook Pro at home with Apple TV to home share videos and music. I have also recently upgraded to mavericks.
When I play videos on my tv at home they work fine, but I am traveling and now videos will not play. They just show 0:00 with a pause button instead of a play button. Some videos do work, but only a handful.
Would this be due to the mavericks upgrade? Should I re-install iTunes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi gta,
Ok.. let's try this. Launch Disk Utility, it's in your Applications/Utilities folder. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit Disk Utility when it's finished.
Get Onyx. It's a free disk utility. Run the Maintenance and Cleaning Scripts once a week. It's available here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
If none of the above works, delete these files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkDiagnostics.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkUtility.plist
Note -- the com.apple.network.Config.plist is not located in your home folder --
Drag those files to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. You will have to reset your network preferences.
