Stumped - One of three videos won't play

Hello! I'm having trouble getting one of three uploaded Flash videos (swf) to play. All 3 play fine locally (both the swf files and the html pages via a browser window, and when tested in Flash), but one will not play once uploaded to the server (Network Solutions). The skin (controller) loads, but not the video itself --- link: http://tripartners.com/Pages/NWDLS/NWDLS_Video_2011/Session1/NWDLS_Session1_Part2.html All 3 went through the exact same process at the same time. Since the video plays fine locally, and because I have re-processed the wayward video over and over to eliminate error on my part, I'm totally stumped.
Many thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Looking at things, its video 2 of 3 that is the problem correct?
I"m using a web debugging tool called Fiddler, and it shows me the URLs of the videos you are loading. For the 2nd video, it looks abnormally long, as if you entered it incorrectly. It may have nothing to do with how you encoded the video - it's about where it is, or where your Flash file is "trying" to locate it.
Video 2's URL:
http://tripartners.com/Users/judithleslie/1_Websites/TRI_NWDLS/TRI_NWDLS/web-content/Pages /NWDLS/NWDLS_Video_2011/Session1/NWDLS%20Session%201%20Part%202%20of%203.flv
Also, I'd recommned that you not use spaces in your file names - instead, use an underscore ("_").
So, I'd suggest that you verify the location of your video on your server, and then be sure that is the correct URL you use when setting that as the video for the FLVPlayBack component you are using.

TS3274 Videos won't play. Not YouTube or any other videos. I also have no sound. Are these common failures for a three year old gen 2 iPad?

Videos won't play. Not YouTube or any other videos (just started today). I also have no sound, keypad clicks, shutoff click, etc. Are these common failures for a three year old Gen 2 iPad?

For the issue with the videos that will no longer work, try closing all apps and then reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
For the issue with sounds, you have system sounds muted.
Check the side switch above the volume rocker on the side of the iPad. Flip it the other way and see if you get sound from the apps, keyboard clicks, etc.
If not, double tap the home button to bring up the task bar at the bottom. In the task bar swipe all the way to the right. Look on the far left side and see if there is a speaker icon. If there is, tap it and see if the sounds on apps come back. Then tap the home button.
You can change how the side switch works to either lock screen rotation or to mute system sounds. You can go to Settings>General>Set Side switch to Lock Rotation or mute. If you choose mute, the switch will turn off apps sounds. Otherwise you use the task bar as described above to mute those sounds.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Videos won't play in powerpoint when connected to projector

I've tried to find a solution for my problem online but haven't come across anyone with the same issue. I often work with powerpoint presentations with many videos in it. The videos play just fine on my laptop and also when hooked up to an external monitor, which I use when at work, both in slideshow mode and when previewing my animations. However, when I hook up my mac onto a projector the videos won't play - not on my laptop screen nor on the projected screen. I've tried rearranging the displays by draggin the menu bar to either display and also switched from mirror screens to presenter's view within powerpoint but nothing helped solve the issue. The only solution I found is to play the presentation on my windows partition - which is not really what I'm planning to do for long term...
I'm using Powerpoint 2011 for mac and this problem has occurred using multiple projectors.
Any help on how to solve this issue is highly appreciated!

I had the same problem today in front of an audience with 300 people (MacbookPro OSX 10.10, Thunderbolt-VGA adapter, PPT 14.4.6).
Here what I figured out so far:
1. It happens when you have PPT open and connect to beamer afterwards
2. You can resolve it (in my case) by quitting PPT and launching it WHEN connected to beamer
3. Yet, make sure Mac does not go into sleep mode or you get a lock-screen in the waiting time. if you do so, you get back to square 1. quit PPT again 2. restart it.
4. Also.... in one case I had to hit the volume control once to get the sound back even though movie was playing
So in short: Connect to beamer first, then launch PPT
I know it is only a symptom fix but it worked for me

Videos won't play in any browser

Just recently, videos won't play in any browser...Safari, Firefox. etc. It seems to happen with .wmv files. I reinstalled media player, but still have the problem.
I get this message.
"Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again"

First, check that Windows Media Player is set as the correct plug in - in Safari, go to help/installed plug ins. There should be a section marked 'Windows Media Player' showing 'application/x-mplayer2' and listing wmv files (amongst others).
Sometimes these arrors are caused by DNS failures. Ensure your system is fully up to date, and enter your ISP's DNS server IP addresses (usually two of them, sometimes three) in the 'DNS servers' box on the TCP page of the Network preference pane.
The DNS server IPs are usually supplied with the ISP's initial set up documentation, or located on the ISP's help page.
The reason it could be a problem is that in many iterations of MacOS X, the system is extremely sensitive to how quickly a DNS search responds. DNS is the process whereby a user-provided URL is converted into the correct IP address for internet lookup, so if the video source is held on a different server and the DNS process doesn't return a valid IP address in time, you would then get an error of the sort you describe.

MailOnline videos won't play in Firefox unless in safe mode although they're fine in Explorer.

It's for my mum, honest. Firefox 25, java and flash uptodate but the Mail Online videos won't play unless I start Firefox in safemode. A large white rectangle appears but nothing else.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon. Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files. WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon. Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files. WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

What exactly is your problem? Is it, (a) your Mac doesn't read your external disk, or, (b) you can't retrieve your videos, or, (c) you can't play them, or, (d) you were able to play them at one point, but not any more.
What version of Mac OS X are you using, what app are you trying to play your videos with, what happens when you do, and what error messages, if any, do you get?

So, the videos won't play properly in iTunes, but play properly on the iPod?
Make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime installed (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/).
If that doesn't work, try going through the steps in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303706.
Video playback can be messed up by a lot of different things. That article covers a lot of them.

Videos won't play after update

Updated iPad 1 to OS 4.3.3 and now all iTune videos won't play. Screen goes black and then resets with "Unable to play this video" message. Any way to fix without downloading 50gb of movies again?

Not sure if this was the fix but the problem was resolved. I was also having App store sync problems so I rebooted the iPad (hard reboot) and then immediately went to app store any updated all apps (video player want one of them) and after it was complete I did another hard boot/reset. When the iPad restarted I immediately went into the video player and Problem Solved! Nt sure how it resolved itself but it works without reloading the files. Never connected to my laptop or resync'dthe iPad but just did an update to all of my apps from the App store (there were 11 to update). Good luck with it.

Upgraded to the latest Keynote (5.3 1170) and now videos won't play in presentation mode, only audio

Upgraded Keynote on my home and work computers to the latest version in the AppStore and now videos won't play in presentation mode. In edit mode you can double click and it will play in the editor. This happens on both computers running the latest version of ML (10.8.4).
Any help here? Alread tried a reinstall of ML on one machine with no luck.
Was previously running Keynote 08 (non AppStore version). Tried creating brand new presentations in 09, no luck.

What do you mean by "won't play"?
Try deleting the song and downloading it again from the iTunes Store.

Videos won't play in Safari. Notice says, "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." I have downloaded it, but no change. All videos play OK in firefox, but I like the controls in Safari better and want to stay with it.

My videos won't play in my itunes

my videos won't play in my itunes- just blank and no sound but running like it was playing something

I have this same problem.
Did you install the QuickTime update?
I'm reinstalling mine, and seeing how that goes, cause I read on another thread that fixed a similar bug. I'll let you know how it goes.

Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

You tube app videos won't play no more just a spinning wheel.

You tube app videos won't play no more just a spinning wheel. I've deleted history and data stuff and tried rebooting but still the same. Please help.

Are you using the YouTube app or Safari?
Could be the videos are Flash based, which Safari can't display.
Adobe has not made a version of Flash for the iPad.

Since you haven't answered any question yet, I'll add another to the list.
What version of OS X were you running prior to the upgrade?
