Suddenly cannot stream videos

Over the past few days, I haven't been able to stream videos on my MacBookPro. The video will start to load and then freeze, and the whole browser will remain frozen. I've tried in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. I've un-installed + re-installed Adobe Flash + Shockwave Player. I looked in my Library for Third Party Plug-ins that might be interfering, but couldn't find any. I even repaired the whole disk using Disk Utility, b/c it said my HD was corrupted. Nothing's worked.
I'm running Lion OS x 10.7.5. I know the OS is a little outdated, but my computer is from 2011 and I'm not sure how well it can handle an OS upgrade. Even w/the older OS, I've had no problems streaming videos in the past- sometimes things are slow, but they always load.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello tournas
How are you accessing the files from chrome? Are you manually entering the path to the file or are you accessing the file via the content explorer? If you are accessing the file via content explorer, which would require you to login first, you should be be running into any permission issues.
If you are still using a plugin to access the file(s), there may be a permission issue if the plugin is trying to access secured shares as a guest. Check if the plugin has user credential options.
Finally, video streaming is intended to be done via the Twonky media server interface not via the content explorer (though it may be possible).

Can't find any discussions on this. Suddenly cannot stream video in Safari or Chrome on my iPad 2. The error is "The operation could not be completed." Rebooted cable modem and router, no luck. No problem with my PC. Help!

Suddenly I cannot stream video on my iPad 2. I get the error, "The operation cannot be completed." The browser (Safari or Chrome) continues to try to load the video with no result. I have no problem streaming on my WIndows PC (laptop) using the same WiFi router (Netgear dual band) connected to my Comcast/Xfinity cable modem. I have tried renewing my lease, clearing apps out of memory and rebootng the iPad, still no luck. (How do you do a "hard reset", I forgot?) Frustrating since I don't own a TV and am an Al Jazeera addict! Help!

Cannot Stream Video from iPad on AppleTV - Media Server Apps via Airplay

Hi,
Need help on this one. Am using iPad 4th gen - Apple TV 3rd Gen and iPhone 4S. (all latest firmware)
Last week was streaming video via Airplay using GoodPlayer and ArkMC apps on iPad to stream from my NAS (WD MyBookLive) via DNLA media server to Apple TV - Worked Amazing
Upgraded firmware on appleTV.
I can no longer stream via Airplay from these apps - Airplay Icon appears - I can Select the Apple TV device for airplay (Checked - icon is blue). But no image on apple TV - video image stays on device.
Full reboot of both AppleTV and iPad.
Other software using server type setup (ex.:EMIT app) work perfectly and streaming directly from video on iPad works perfectly. (need to turn on the server on the computer though) or airplay enabled web sites and/or apps seem to work well also.
Mirroring works but the video is not full screen and wrong ratio.
Any clues ? I've lost this one.
Thanks

Apparently what is happening, and this was brought up in another thread, and what I suspected was happening as well, is that the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch is not streaming the video itself directly to the AppleTV (it might be streaming it if it's audio only, haven't confirmed). What it's apparently doing is, is telling the AppleTV2 to download the video and play it on its own, starting with xx:xx timestamp directly from youtube or your iTunes library. This is why it's only working with your iTunes library or the built-in YouTube app. And also why it wouldn't work with the camera roll, because it isn't streaming directly from the iPhone. So it's not exactly what we were originally thinking or expecting.

Cannot stream video after iOS8 upgrade

My iPad Mini no longer streams video after I upgraded to iOS 8. This includes Facebook videos, Youtube app, HBO Go app, Amazon on Demand app, Safari or Chrome. If I switch to either laptop or my iphone which runs iOS7, I have no troubles streaming any video.

THe same situation on my iPad Air. For a short time helps hard reset but it is very frustrating...

I cannot stream video from my local public library on my iPad Air 2 using Overdrive Media Console

I am unable to stream videos from my local public library on my iPad Air 2 using the Overdrive
Media Console App. I can stream videos on my older iPad 1st generation. Anyone else
having his problem?

The app gives you instructions to browse to the Overdrive site and put in your Zip Code. You can do this from Safari on the iPad. When you find your local library, you will be asked to log in with your Library Card and PIN. When you select compatible content, the Overdrive app will automatically launch, where it will give you the ability to download content segments, or even all segments. It will also help you keep track of when the book will expire etc. The books are broken up into many segments so that you can manage how much content is stored on your iPad. I did this just this morning, and downloaded 8 of 38 segments of the book 2666.

Cannot stream video from osx iTunes to XP itunes

This is a frequently discussed topic, but non of the suggested solutions work for me.
Problem: iTunes running on iMac OS X 10.4.9, latest version 7.1.1. Authorized. Has purchased TV show locally. Cannot stream this show to iTunes, latest version, running on XP, on local network.
The reverse works. i.e. a different show on the XP iTunes can be streamed and watched on the OSX iTunes.
I initially had problem with self ripped movies, tried Lostify etc. Same problem. Now I have isolated to "normal" iTunes content, going from OSX to XP, still does not work.
Any ideas?!
Thanks,
P.K.

Anyone has this problem or solution ?!!?

I suddenly cannot get video on Ustream

I cannot see video in Ustream with firefox. Up until today I could. I can see it with IE and Google Chrome. Can you help?

I went to devices in iTunes (when my iPod was plugged into the computer and the iPod picture shows up) and then to music and noticed the box to sync music videos was not checked. I checked it and now the music video is on my iPod. Problem solved

I suddenly cannot access videos, you tube, any video links. Every setting is on, but sound and streaming has stopped. Thoughts anyone?

I suddenly ( the last hour) cannot access you tube, any links for video and sound. All updates are in place and specific settings are 'on'. Thoughts, please!

This forum is not for technical/problem questions. Your post will be moved to the Snow Leopard 10.6.x forum.

All of a sudden I cannot stream videos/movies through my apple-tv, but music works okay. What's up?

streaming file copy movies will not work on my Apple TV even though it used to. What's up?

Same thing here, I cant even stream trailers or previews that are 2 min and 30 sec

Recently loaded Firefox Update 3.6.15,message appeared saying the file is corrupt. This appears to have impacted our proxy server and ability to stream video from BBC I-player? Has anyone else had this issue with 3.6.15, if so how did you resolve it?

Received upgrade notification for Mozilla to 3.6.15 which we undertook. The computer after completing this activity now cannot stream video through our proxy provider from BBC I-player, even though we have ensured we have the latest Flash Plug-in. The system was working perfectly prior to this event. Even if we delete and re-download the update, the file loads and then when asked to run, "File Corrupt message appears. Please advise or provide solution if possible. Thanks

Streaming videos through apple tv

Since the upgrade to iOs8 I cannot stream videos to my tv through appletv. If they work, it crashes a few seconds into it.
Also, the little icon on the bottom right corner of the video where I would choose which device to play the video on (phone, and other apple tvs), is gone. Do we have to go to settings and enable air play every single time?
I want that icon back.

I am having the same problem. Since the IOS8 Upgrade,I have been unable to stream videos without it crashing every few minutes. Nothing else has changed. Same router, same devices all with the same wiFi connection. Most of the time when it crashes and I finally get it to start again, the video always starts from the beginning again, very annoying. Before the upgrade.... no problems at all. I also checked out the link to resolving issues with airplay etc. and nothing there has solved this problem. I hope Apple will address this problem and come up with a fix. I love my Apple products, but love them even more when everything works properly

Can't stream video from the web

My iPad cannot stream videos from Safari web sites except when I am in the same room as the modem and router. I am not talking about flash, I mean videos it should be able to stream.
I use an Arris modem from Comcast with a Time Machine in the same room. I have an Airport Express in another room to extend wireless coverage.
If I start a video in the "time machine room" it will load and I can then leave and the video will play. If I try to start it in another room it will not load properly.
I tried a test, streaming the same video to my iBook, my iPhone and my iPad - from a non "time machine room" in my house. No problem with the iBook or iPhone. The video played with no problems. No go with the iPad.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I am getting a strong Wi Fi signal.
Deanna

HI Deanna,
Try resetting the network settings on your iPad.
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
That will restore to factory default.
Restart your iPad, restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, try changing the Airport channel.
Select the device you’re setting up on the left and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.
If that doesn't help, go to /Library/Preferences. Move all the files in the System Configuration folder to the Trash, and restart your Mac.
Try streaming again.
If I try to start it in another room it will not load properly.
Also, check out the Airport Express online manual *page 41* for: *Items that can cause interference*

HT204291 I cannot stream amazon prime to my tv? I can get sound but no video.

I am using my iPad and cannot stream amazon prime to the tv?
The sound comes thru but no video!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
Amazon have blocked both basic AirPlay and mirroring.

Powerbook g4 cannot stream any video without serious lag issues

hi guys
have a solid older g4 powerbook 1.33 ghz 1.25 ram powerbook i gave to my gf as a present. This thing just will not stream any videos with out serious lag. Even if videos buffer all the way it jumps all over the place.
Sites like Justin.tv we cannot stream one channel good, audio is fine but picture is unwatchable due to lag. I can watrch the same channel on my 2007 macbook pro and its totally fine. Any tips on how to get this powerbook running right?? Even youtube you can't watch because of laaaaaag. This shouldn't be an issue.
thx

Unfortunately, our PBs are showing their technology age with streaming video's that have become more prevalent. You can take a few steps to try and maximize the performance, however, at the proverbial end of the day, if viewing streaming video's is important, it's time to upgrade.
First, ensure you have 10% to 15%+ free disk space on your internal hard drive. Less than that can really crimp performance.
Download OnyX and run the tasks on the cleaning and maintenance tabs. Before using any disk maintenance program, good data protection practice says you should have your hard drive backed up. (I've never heard of a data issue with Onyx, however). Download from: http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php?sid=e115f3f4154a6c53a8426d0c4b8a52a5
Periodically run the Apple hardware test or either of the TechTool programs to ensure there's not any sick hardware getting in the way.
Bring up the activity monitor and on the system memory tab look at page ins and outs. If page outs are 10% or more of page ins, you can use more memory for what you run.

12/13/2014 I suddenly no longer stream videos because of a blocked plug in on my Mac Safari 5.1.10 MacOSX 10.6.8 updated to snow leopard&mountain lion I use adobe flash

12/13/2014 I suddenly no longer stream videos because of a blocked plug in on my Mac Safari 5.1.10 MacOSX 10.6.8
updated to snow leopard& mountain lion I use adobe flash. My preferences allow all plug ins.

If my experience with a similarly aged computer is any indicator, you'll notice an immediately speed hit once you've upgraded to Mavericks. Each OS X update tends to be more memory hungry than the previous and my 2007 iMac wasn't happy with Lion until I upgraded the RAM and at that point Lion performance roughly matched Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion and then Mavericks shaved some speed off again. Mavericks on the 2007 iMac was okay for the most part but switching between applications was slow as was the fileselector.
My 2009 MBP saw similar slowdowns with Lion but I was above to upgrade it to 8GB which made a big difference. (My iMac was limited to 6GB) but I still saw a significant speed hit with Mt Lion when I tried to run multiple memory intensive applications. Seeing how my wife's MacBook Air dealt with Mt Lion with only 4GB I decided to install an SSD in the MBP and wow what a difference. Tried it with the iMac using a FireWire800 enclosure and saw similar improvement.
So to boil it down to one sentence, you are going to see a significant speed hit with only 4GB but if you can afford to upgrade your drive to an SSD you'll be amazed at how well that computer can run.
