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.

    ''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.''

  • 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.

    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.

  • Why do my songs and audio books keep getting erased when I add a new book?  Now some books will not play and the iPod does not keep track of where I was when I pause a book, leave for music and then go back!

    About a month ago I added some new audio books to my iPod Classic and then after disconnecting, I discovered EVERYTHING had been erased. 
    I had to restore through my iTunes but then I could not load my music back on.
    I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and completely reformated the iPod drive.
    I successfully got my music and books back on but then added a new book two days ago only to discover everything got erased AGAIN!!!
    Of course, my 1 Year Warranty was up about a week before the first incident.....
    I formatted the iPod again, uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes (it was freezing during sync) and downloaded all my music and books again.
    Now I have several books that will not play (they play on iTunes and they played on the iPod before all these events) and the iPod does not keep track of where I was in a book when I have to stop and go to something else.
    Does anyone know what is going on with this thing???  I have a 5th Gen Video and in all the years I've had it, I've NEVER had problems like this! 
    Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my iPod Classic up and running properly again?
    Thanks.

    When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised  filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
    The timeout failure could be due to
    Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
    Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
    Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
    Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
    Have a nice day!

  • I am not computer savvy.  I have a second generation itouch, and have never had any problems.  Just recently, certain songs will not play.  It will skip the song to the next one.  Certain videos will not play.  The message, "This movie could not be played

    I am not computer savvy. I have a second generation itouch and have never had any problems with it until now.  When I try to play certain songs, it will not play the song and skip to the next song selection.  When I try to play certain videos, the message "This movie could not be played" appears.  I contacted a tech spec who said it was possibly a format problem.  How do i fix this?

    This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

  • Youtube HD videos will not play since the 60FPS update

    Any video that someone has released using the new youtube 60fps rendering support no longer plays for me. I can watch some HD videos that people are still releasing at 30fps but those that are released at 60FPS just endlessly buffer. I've cleared my Chache and it's still the same. Am I stuck watching in 480p or what's going on?

    Please don't shout (no need for all caps in your title). Download and install the 10.5.8 COMBO update, repair permissions, and restart. Additionally, ensure you're running the latest QuickTime update 7.6.4 and Flip4Mac components 2,2,3,7.

  • 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

  • Iphone 4s videos will not play on Quicktime on my PC, the screen is black but there is sound.  Any ideas?

    I am not too computer literate..............
    I took some videos of my daughter and went to view them on my computer (pc) and they will not play.  The computer recongnizes them as quicktime files (.MOV) but when they are selected for playback, the screen is black and all that plays is the audio.  I downloaded the latest quicktime pro at $30.00 and the problem still exsists.  The video was taken on an iPhone 4s with the iOS6 updated software. 
    What is the problem?  What is the fix?
    Thanks

    Thanks! Yours works. May I Add?

    Disable Direct3D acceleration in the player you are using.
    If you use VLC media player, Go to preferences, Video, And under output, change from default to "Direct 2D video output"
    If you use Quicktime, Downgrade to Quicktime 7.6 or upgrade to quicktime 7.7.3 and Go to
    Edit --> Preferences -->Quicktime preferences.
    Under that, go to advanced tab, and uncheck "Enable Direct3d acceleration" (3'rd box)
    Fixed the problem for me

  • 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?

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

  • Certain music videos will not play in iTunes.  The music plays fine but not the video.  No picture.

    Certain music videos will not play in iTunes.  The music plays fine but not the video.  No picture.  Same with the iPod.  Other videos in the library play fine. Help.

    Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
    Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play.

  • HT204406 I opened i Tunes on my mac and while i see the songs in some of my playlists they will not play. The computer says the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? When i do it won't play.

    I opened i Tunes on my mac and while i see the songs in some of my playlists they will not play. The computer says the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? When i do it won't play.

    You will need to locate where you itunes library is and then relink one of the songs, itunes will do the rest. So if your itunes library is on an external hard drive or something like that. When you get the error message click yes you would like to locate it. then navigate to the external hard drive where the itunes libray is and locate that particular song. Once you have linked one, itunes will ask if you would like it to locate the rest, click yes and it will find the rest of the files if they are in the same location.

    Hello.  I have AV player hd.  When I touch and hold the Quicktime icon that is in a received mail message, a prompt comes up "Open in AVPlayerHD".  I click on that and a black screen opens up with the following on it:
    1--A red line at the top with a short white slider button on the right hand side.  There is a time listed at each end of the red line that says 00:00
    2--On the left hand side of the screen, near the middle, there are 4 icons, a colored 'x', a dialogue icon, a circular arrow and an 'i' in a circle.
    3--On the right hand side there is a + and a - sign with '1.00x' in the middle of the two.
    4--At the bottom of the black screen is a play icon plus forward and fast forward icons.
    When I press the play icon it changes to a stop icon.
    So, even though I have AV player I cannot play this Quicktime slideshow.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
