This is dumb: Videos won't play unless I disable Realplayer in ALL browsers. This means I simply won't use Firefox anymore except to test web pages. Wow, IE is

I tried disabling the Download video feature in RealPlayer Plus just for just Firefox. videos still will not play. The only way they will play is if I disable the feature for ALL browsers. I have found this to be true on multiple computers and other people have experienced this as well. I can deal with it if Firefox has trouble with RealPlayer, a product I paid for, but why do they care what I use in other browsers? This is unacceptable. Especially since there are all kinds of cheap extensions that do the same thing as RealPlayer but not as well. See ya -- for testing purposes only from now on. My web sites will all note works best with anything BUT Firefox.

Hi nomadsjangle,
<u>'''Short answer,'''</u> downgrade to Flash 10.3, Firefox should then work ok, and hopefully RealPlayer will be fully functional.<br/>For instructions see [[flash 11.3 crashes]]
Sorry you are having problems. I am not sure why you decided to blame Firerfox for this problem.
If you pay for and install RealPlayer why do you blame Firefox when you need to uninstall it to play video ? Why not blame RealPlayer, FlashPlayer, or even another browser!
This is a known issue and developers from Firefox, Flash and Realplayer have been involved with this for a few weeks. There have been a few changes in that time but no full solution that suits everyone is available, or likely in the immediate future AFAIK.
I suspect your problem is due to the fact that FlashPlayer 11.3 introduced a security feature known as ''protected mode''. (Flash 11.3 may also have other issues with Firefox) RealPlayer (certainly the versions current when Flash11.3 was released) has problems with this. Real player is or was causing problems with use of Flash to view videos on Firefox with Flash 11.3.
Note FlashPlayer will be installed on the Operating System as a plugin, and may be used by more than one browser (although it needs different software for IE).
Downgrade Flash to 10.3 then if you still have problems post back, confirm the Flash Player version you have now,and the RealPlayer version.
Note
* if you use the Adobe uninstaller you may need to reinstall FlashPlayer on IE
* take care not to follow advice from plugincheck FlashPlayer etc to upgrade to the latest version, until this issue is resolved.
* this is a temporary solution, you should upgrade again once this is resolved.

Adobe Flash Videos won't play unless I close and restart Firefox

I'm using the most current versions of Firefox for Windows and the Adobe Flash plug-in. Recently I've discovered that for some reason, embedded videos in blogs, etc. and YouTube videos will not play-- I either get a blank white space where the screen should be, or a black screen with no "play" option. The only way to remedy this is to close and restart Firefox. This happens every day--it's not a random occurrence.

I've tried every possible solution for this problem -- cleared cache, reinstalled Windows, updated Firefox and Flash, even installed the beta 64-bit version of Flash -- NOTHING helps. Since no one seems to have any ideas about this problem, I'm throwing in the towel on Firefox. The problem has never occurred in IE.

Sometimes my videos won't play, unless I reboot

Often, when I just put my Mac to sleep, when I wake it up, videos won't play. I have reinstalled Flash, but it still happens. Any ideas? Seems only to happen since the last upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion (11D50b)(Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3 4GB 1333 MHz Ram)

Wimp.com, youtube, bliptv. I don't think anything works. To be specific, they play for about 2 secs, continue to load, but stop playing.

Videos will not play unless mouse is moving or scroll used

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina 15-inch mid-2014) with an Intel core and the most recent OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
Whenever I try to play a video on YouTube, Vimeo, or the like Safari will not play it unless I move the mouse around or engage the scrolling option on the mousepad. Sometimes it plays the video, but not smoothly at all. The audio plays normally as before the video problem occurred.
For some reason, some advertisements seem to play fine, while others have the same problem.
I looked up some solutions on Apple and some non-Apple support pages and they did not fix this problem.
My Safari browser is up-to-date (version 8.0), I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash player, and I don't have ANY extensions installed and none of my third-party plugins/add ons that would mess with the video playing.
When I ran into this problem, I also had an issue with Facebook loading any images (profile pictures, thumbnails for profile pictures and shared video links, shared photos, similar things like that) and the videos uploaded to Facebook would not have an image either, nor would they load. I emptied the Safari cache and even manually put the cache.db file into my trash and emptied it out.
I may have tried some other things out as well, but I think this is what solved the lack of loading images, but it didn't solve the video playing (obviously).
What do I do?
Thank you!

1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
     Press the "Delete All" button.
    Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
   Download it first.
    The next step is important.
    Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
    Follow the prompts and install it.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Allow Plug-in.
    Safari > Preferences > Security
   Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.
3. Safari > Preferences > Privacy
    Press the button “ Remove All Website Data”.
4. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn those off and relaunch Safari again.
    Turn those on one by one and test.

I just downloaded iTunes on my new PC and all the music that I have purchased through ITunes that was backed up on the cloud won't play. It is telling I must authorize this computer before it play pre purchased music. how do I authorize my computer.

I just downloaded iTunes on my new PC and all the music that I have purchased through ITunes that was backed up on the cloud won't play. It is telling me I must authorize this computer before it can play pre purchased music. how do I authorize my computer to play this music?
Thank you for any assistance.

Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

I am trying to turn my video on to play with 4G? How do I do this?

I downloaded the USA network app so I can watch my tv show. when I click on an episode my phone gives me a message of "you have disabled video from playing while on 3G/4G cellular networks. You can change this by going to Settings in the app." Where and how do I do this in settings. I have the CBS app also and I can watch my tv show in that app just fine. Someone help me, please?

If anyone finds the answer please let me know, I can't get NBC to play for the same reason you all are saying.
Can't find the settings for NBC like the message says to do.

A music file on my iWeb website shows as a question mark and won't play. Anyone know how I can fix this?

When I view the website using Firefox, it shows and plays beautifully. But, when I view it on Safari, there is a tiny question mark where the audio control should be, and no music plays. I'd really appreciate some help with this one.
Many thanks,

www.joeperronejr.com (in case you want to see the site) It's the Home Page

I just opened your site with Safari and on the Home page the music play straight away and then there is the player at the bottom right of the page which I can see with no problem at all.
Perhpas you need to empty your brower cache for it to display correctly - it seems to be working correctly for others here who have viewed it in Safari.
Check your preferences and perhaps clear your cookies and then empty your browser cache.

I want to test web pages in different browsers but my html pages saves as firefox document. I cant open this file in ie. how do I change this

All files saved as html doc will save as firefox html doc which keeps me from opening this file in any other browser. This happens no matter which text editor I use. How do I save html docs without the firefox logo.

Open the browser you want to use. click ctrl + O, browse to your file location and it will open your file.

Video won't play unless mouse is moving

When viewing a website with video such as Youtube, the mouse must be moved periodically or the video will stop. I've had this problem for a couple of months and haven't been able to resolve it. I read you could downgrade to v25, turn off hardware acceleration, etc., but none of these solved the issue. I am currently using v27.0. (Also, I don't have this problem with IE, so it must be a Firefox problem.)
Thanks for the help!

I should have mentioned the issue occurs mostly with full-screen mode.

Pages won't load and videos won't play unless I jiggle the mouse, Why and how do I fix it?

I update to the latest version of firefox and now I am having this problem. It was ok before.

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Music won't play unless connected to power source/charging

Music will not play on my iPhone 4S unless connected to sync cord and the sync cord must be charging. The battery is full. I had an issue before with the music starting/stopping sporadically and the iPhone not recognizing when headphones were plugged in. That seemed to resolve itself once I updated the software. Now this.... If I disconnect from sync cord/power supply, the play button on the screen gets glitchy and the music stops.

This sequence works:
turn on the power source (e.g. Logitech portable speakers)
power on and connect iPhone to power source via 30-pin to Lightning adapter
connect the earphones
start Pandora

HT2729 My ipod 4th generation is no longer playing videos. It plays the sound only with message "TV connected- This video is playing on TV"?

My IPOD 4th generation has stopped playing videos. It will play the audio only and displays message "TV CONNECTED" "THIS VIDEO IS PLAYING ON THE TV". Don't know how to re-adjust video setting to what it was prior to this happening.

Do you have an Apple TV? An iPod can AirPlay to an Apple TV.
Can you provide a screen shot of what yo are seeing? Also what specific app is it?
Also:
See:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.
Restore from backup. See:

Tracks won't play unless put in a playlist

As of recently, songs stopped playing within the main search window, and will only play if I move them to a playlist. I haven't done any recent OS updates that would account for the change. Any ideas? Thanks!

I've got the same problem. I've been paying for spotify for several years now. Spotify, you better fix this problem.

My nano won't play .GIF files! How can i fix this?

My iPod Nano displays all of the supported picture files except for the .GIF's
Is there something I must do to enable the viewing of a .GIF file or does it just not support it? (although everywhere I've looked it sais it is)
I have a Black 4GB iPod Nano, connected to a Windows XP with iTunes 6.0
Please Help!!!
iPod Nano 4 GB Windows XP

Thank you Kyn.
yes its an animated GIF
the GIF shows up as a regular picture, but no animation occurs.
By your post, I'm assuming the iPod does not play GIFS, but lets you just look at it as a regular picture?

This is dumb: Videos won't play unless I disable Realplayer in ALL browsers. This means I simply won't use Firefox anymore except to test web pages. Wow, IE is
