  • Can't play videos on some web sites.

    Since the last update for Safari I been unable to play videos in some web sites.I checked Safari preferences, under extensions and than list is empty, so I don't have anything that needs updating. Also cleaned cookies, resetted safari, emptied cache and sitll, can't play the videos. No software updates are available and i havent removed anything from my computer (flash player or any other player).

  • When I try to eject my ipod after sync I get the following message:"The iPod cannot be restored because it contains files that are in use by another application.". I tried to restore but it doesn't work and I get the same message

    Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting.  If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
    Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
    Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
    Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
    In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

    I don't think you can fix it. Those messages imply the programs on the CD are older ones for PowerPC Mac (discontinued in early 2006) and does not have the code a current Intel-based Mac requires.

  • Firefox only can't play videos from Hamster web site

    Firefox plays videos from every other site but Hamster. IE and Chrome have no problems playing videos from this site

    Hi .
    Make sure your OS X software is up to date.
    Click the Apple  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
    Or, open System Preferences > App Store > Check Now
    If your Mac is up to date, most news websites require Flash.
    Back to System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click: Check Now

  • I have lost the ability to upload files to a website. I have to transfer files from my computer to a web site and I get an error message "connection was reset" and the file will not upload. I try to transfer pictures and I get the same message.

    I have to upload a scanned receipt to a website and I get the error message "connection was reset". I have uploaded these receipt for two years and last week I have had to use another browser to complete this operation. I connect to the website and do the report I must do, but I can no longer upload to this site.

    Are you using any additional software for the uploading?
    Try using Firefox in [[safe mode]] when you upload. There is no need to make changes when you see the option. Disable all plugins whilst in safe mode. Then try the uploads.
    You mention [/questions/921993 elsethread] that it is a work site. Have you contacted your IT department. One possibility is that the site is not recognising Firefox 10.
    (One temporary workaround and troubleshhooting test would be to install Firefox3.6.27 [http://portableapps.com/news/2012-02-01_-_firefox_portable_3.6.26_released portable] as an additional browser and try that.)

  • Playing video clips from web sites ?

    Hi.
    I am unable to view video clips from most websites. The frame with the video appears on the page, but I am unable to play the video clip. Why is that? And how can I get to view video clips from within the web page?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    At the time the iPhone came out there was flash lite.
    It was based on a 5 year old version of flash, would not play most flash content on the web.
    Recently, adobe just released flash mobile 10 beta.
    The demo I saw crashed the browser or caused very jeky scrolling on web pages. Also kills the battery.
    Official release is slated for sometime at the end of the year.
    Neither version provides a good customer experience, so why would apple use it?

  • Can't see any video from Apple Web Site and some others, MacBook Air 13"

    i need help, i cant see the videos on the apple website and some others. I can hear the sound of the video but the video seems all black nd i cant see it. I was watching some other videos that needed a program called DivX, i first thought it was because of that but then i unistalled it but it still doesnt work. Hope anyone can help me
    Thank you

    I had the same problem... very simple to solve...
    With Safari open, click "SAFARI" on the top bar, scroll down and click "PREFERENCES"...
    With Preferences open, mouse over to "EXTENSIONS" and click to move the slider to turn off extensions created by third-party developers...
    That's all I did and when I tried to open the videos on Apple's site everything worked normally again...
    Hope that helps!

  • VS Exp 2013: Unable to create the Web site ... The components for communicating with FTP servers are not installed.

    I have MS Visual Studio Express 2013 It has worked fine for many months and then suddenly (I have made no configuration changes or added new programs) when I try to publish I am getting the message:
    Unable to create the Web site 'ftp://ftp.xx.xx/xxx.org.uk/www/htdocs'. The components for communicating with FTP servers are not installed.
    (I have replaced actual name with x's).
    I had a similar problem some months ago and found that saving all files, closing VS 2013 and re-starting the program fixed the problem. This time it has not.
    I am at a loss to know how to take this forwards. I do not use IIS.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Michael.

    Hi Michael,
    For web site development, so you use the VS2013 express for web, am I right? We have to make sure that it is not the VS version issue.
    As you said that it worked well before, did you install other add-ins or tools in your VS IDE like
    Xamarin or others?
    Maybe you could disable or remove all add-ins in your VS IDE, test it again.
    please also install the VS2013 update 4 in your side.
    Best Regards,
    Jack

  • How do I play videos on my new mac that wont show in Quick Time?  windows media player

    I just got a new imca - switching from a pc.  When I receive attachments etc that are not formatted for Quick Time, I can not open and play the video.  IS there some other software that I need onmy new Mac that will allow this?  Or is there some other configuration to the Mac's current configuration that I should be using? 

    First read this: Adding additional media format support to Quicktime:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3526
    Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
    http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from  http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm  (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from  http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page  http://perian.org/#support   in case you need to delete older codecs.  In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from  http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac/player

  • Everytime i close a web site, and reconnect to the internet, instead of going to homepage it goes back to the site i had been on, how do i get it to go to homepage

    Even though I followed directions to make yahoo.com my homepage, by clicking and dragging to home and clicking yes. When I browse the web and then close out to desktop and then click on firefox web browser, instead of going to homepage it redirects me back to the web site I had been on when I logged out.
    How do I stop this and get it to take me to my home page?

    Try changing firefox to the default browser: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_Your_Default_Browser]. That will probably get firefox to open when you dial up.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "the meter accelerating the web page". Can you explain that?
    Thank you

  • I'm trying to update iTunes to 10.5.2 and I get the message that "a program required for this install to complete could not be run".  I've tried all of the steps to try to resolve this (I have a PC) but nothing works.  Help please!
