Trouble playing any videos on Macbook Pro

So 2 months back, my macbook pro is having trouble playing any type of flash videos, from youtube, embedded videos, pretty anything with flash. flash player is up to date, i can surf the internet and do my work flawlessly but as soon as i start a video, the mbp starts to slow down and the video starts getting choppy. Not sure what else to do before giving up and going to the apple store. I've shut it down and restarted it still having issues. any help would be appreciated! Running OS X 10.8.2

I have been having these same problems. Currently, playing YouTube videos in HD, is not viewable, so I have to watch videos in 240p (gross). My thought is that YouTube has shut down some of the servers in order to push some kind of update. My advice, just wait out the storm and see what happens over the next few days. If the issue is still not fixed, I would suggest contacting Google. In the meantime, you could try and reinstall Flash Player, or change browsers, but from my experience, none of that worked.
Best of luck!

    Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.

  • Can't get any video on macbook pro

    my video on my macbook pro died tonight...  does anyone know of a fix?

    Hi
    Sorry to hear about that.
    When you say "died" you mean there is no video output?
    Does your Mac pass POST? (makes chime noise on boot), and does the Capslock key LED go green if you press it? If not, then you may have a power related issue, not video.
    Also, what model do you have (year/processor/GPU)
    Please try an SMC & PRAM reset.
    Cheers

  • Cannot play any online video with macbook pro retina Safari. (Youtube, youku, tudou, etc..)

    Help!!!
    I'm using Macbook Pro Retina, my version is ME866LLA
    My Safari version is: 7.0.6
    I installed the latest version's adobe flash. I'v tried reset settings for safari, and I also checked Security Settings ->Internet Plugins. I do believe all are correct.
    But still I can't play any video from any online video websites(Like youtube, youku, tudou etc).
    Like below screenshot, always loading, but never start playing. I even fixed the permissions for my disk, still didn't work.
    Anybody can tell me what happened?? At the very beginning(when I first got this computer), I think this works, but don't know what happened. I have this issue for long time!!
    Anybody can help me? Great thanks!!

    Hi ..
    You may be using HTML 5.
    Click here >  YouTube
    Then click:  Use the Default Player
    If that doesn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Make sure:   Allow Plug-ins  is selected.
    If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    Back to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
    Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • HT3775 What codec do I need to play video that is called .avi.  It will not play on my new Macbook Pro.

    What codec do I need to add to play a video that is called .avi
    It will not play on my new Macbook Pro since I put it into the movies section of my launchpad.  When it was on the desktop It worked fine.  I moved it back to the desktop and it still does not work.
    The error message says  The document "   .avi" could not be opened.
    A required codec is not available.

    Download VLC Media Player which plays anything you throw at it and  Perian (AVI and FLV support).

    My iPod mini, 4gb is hard to get serviced obviously because they dont make them anymore
    It is as simple to get it serviced as the day you purchased it.
    How is it hard to get it serviced?
    How long have you had your iPod?
    i get maybe 4-5 hours of battery life, maybe even 6 if im lucky
    That is not good but it's not "terrible".
    If you've had it less than a year, send it back to Apple to replace the battery.
    thought that i might buy an attachment type accesorie that i plug into the usb port on my ipod
    It's called a dock connector, not a USB port.
    i found a product in the online store, that i guess you place the ipod mini on, and it gives you up to 20 or so more hours of time but then it says that you have to have a firewire port or cable?
    What is it? The firewire port is on the computer, not the iPod.
    If the original battery is going bad, the first thing to do is get that sorted out.

  • How can i change the default application to vlc player for playing any videos on my macbook?

    How can i change the default application to vlc player for playing any videos on my macbook?

    1. Control click the file you want to open.
    2. Click Get Info.
    3. Under open with, pick the App you want to be default.
    4. Click Change All Button.
    5. Confirm your decision.
    You have to do this with every file that has a different extension. You can't change the default for every file with a different extension in a single operation.

  • Every time I watch a video on youtube (on any browser) my macbook pro starts freezing

    Hello everyone,
    Every time I watch a video on youtube (on any browser) my macbook pro starts freezing half a minute, works fine for 10 seconds, then freezes again... This started a couple days ago. The only solution is to restart and not watch video's... Anyone know how to solve this?
    I have a pretty old macbook pro, from around 2006. I've never had this problem...
    Thanks,
    Tommy
    P.S. My family is currently deleting some items and it seems to be working, I'll update you if the problem is fixed.

    Reinstall Flash Player?  YouTube is Flash based.

  • IPhoto '11 no longer plays any video

    Hello, I"ve searched the forum and not yet found a solution to this problem.  I recently upgraded to OS X Lion and iLife '11.  I am running iPhoto 9.2.1. on my Macbook Pro and iMac and can no longer play any videos in iPhoto.  iMovie seems to be plagued byt the same issue.  I remember having to delete a couple files from the Library when I upgraded iPhoto.  The files were 3ivx files.
    Can anyone please help me or point me to the solution elsewhere in this forum.
    Many thanks,
    Tim

    First try installing   Perian and see if that fixes it. If not then look in your Home/Library/Quicktime folder to see if there's a 3ivx plugin there.  If there is remove it. It's not compatible with Lion and usually crashes iPhoto.  With that in mind I doubt you'll find the plugin.

  • Can not play any video after update to 4.4.2

    Can not play any video after update to 4.4.2, it says always that i have to reconnect my HDMI Cable, reason HDCP error.

    I have made some tests,
    I can only view Trailers, every thing else dosn't work any more. I could not play any Video via Airplay. I tried to do it fom my IPhone 4, my IPad 1 and from my MacBook Pro 15"/i7 2 GHz/Mac OS10.7.2.
    It always says the same error.
    I reset the divice again and made a restore, but the same error.
    I change the HDMI cable, same error.
    It works fine before, I had 4.4.1 on it. I'm using a Toshiba Beamer MT700.

  • 30GB 5G Ipod no longer plays any video -HELP!

    I have a 5G ipod purchased toward the end of 2005. It always worked great until I went to play a video the other day. My ipod crashes every time I try to play any video, whether downloaded from itunes, homemade, anything. This isn't an issue of needing to turn the TV-Out setting off. I've tried restoring, reverting to previous firmwares (from 1.2.1 to 1.1.2 and 1.0, using itunes 7.2), formatting and restoring, everything I've seen on forums everywhere. It used to play video just fine, so I'm completely at a loss. If I select a video through the audio podcast area, it will play the audio portion. When I try to play videos properly, the screen stays blank and no longer accepts input - I have to reset the ipod. I know that I'm out of warranty so I'm probably boned, aren't I?

    I just purchased my 30gb video iPod, and am running into almost the exact same situation. The only difference is that I don't have to reset it. It just won't play a movie at all. It starts the little "timer" thing that clicks around, but then goes back out of the movie. I know the movie is a good download, because I can watch it from start to finish within iTunes.
    Anyone got any ideas? I really don't want to stay on hold for 1-2 hours waiting on a person to talk to with tech support!
