Trying to watch videos from my mac

i downloaded the newest flash player to my mac & is still unable to watch videos

Downloading is not enough, you also need to install it.
If that does not resolve your problem, you should ask in the Flash Player forum. And perhaps provide some more information.

Watch Video from One Mac, on Another (not Audio)

Hi All,
Here's what I'd like to do:
Step 1: Set a movie to play on my Macbook Pro.
Step 2: Have the video play on my iMac, and the audio out of my Macbook Pro.
The reasoning:
The new iMac doesn't have a firewire input for my Firewire 410, which connects to external speakers.
My Macbook Pro however connects seamlessly to the hardware and then to my speakers.
So, the need is to be able to watch the video on my iMac, but audio come out of my Macbook Pro...
An alternative to the above situation is the following:
Step 1: Set a movie to play on my iMac
Step 2: Have the audio come out of my Macbook Pro.
Any solutions?
Thanks,
Sean

The Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor plugs into a Thunderbolt port on the iMac. The other end of the adaptor is a Firewire 800 port, just like the one on older Macs. You can use that just like any other FW 800 port.
If you wnat to use a Firewire 400 device with it, you will also need a Firewire 800 to Firewire 400 cable like this one, or you can use an 800 to 400 adaptor like this one & a Firewire 400 cable that you already have.
I use the Apple adaptor & an 800 to 400 adaptor with FW 400 cables I already have to attach Firewire 400 external hard drives to my 2012 iMac. That works quite well. You could do something similar with your M-Audio box, although as I mentioned earlier, the M-Audio drivers may not work well with Mountian Lion.

Trying To Watch Videos From My Camera On Quicktime???

Hi there.
I got my macbook pro earlier this month so I am still somewhat getting used to it. I recently just got back on vacation and imported all my photos fine but I took a couple of video clips and they import into .avi format. When I try to play them I get the error saying that quicktime does not have all the components to play this file and to go online and look at the additional components. I did do that and I made sure I had the up to date quicktime software but none of the other components would seem to help.
Now I can play them, but I can only hear not see what is going on, it is just a black screen when I play them. Does anyone know anything that might help?? If I left something out that would be useful let me know. Thank you.

You need:

You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV 2 doesn't show up under devices like the Apple TV 1, to send video and music to the Apple TV you need to use the Airplay Option which appears in the lower right corner of iTunes.

There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
-ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
For more information, visit:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:

I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems. As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play. I don't think I have done anything differently. Does anyone know how to fix this. I have tried unplugging it

Hi, I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems for over a year. As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play. I don't think I have done anything differently. Does anyone know how to fix this. I have tried unplugging it waiting 30secs and then plugging it back in. I have tried restarting, updating and reseting but nothing is working. It's quite frustrating!!!! Any suggestions????

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDMI so I could watch videos from my computer on my TV. My TV then shows my basic computer background but the videos won't play. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDML. The TV recognizes my computer; I see my basic computer screen on the TV. I tried to watch videos on my TV but got nothing. (tried via my facebook vidoes and Youtube. What am I doing wrong?

I've got a similar (but different!) problem: I have a MacBookPro3,1 running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I want to connect to my HD TV using a HDMI to DVI cable but the MBP cannot detect the TV display. What's the solution? Is this a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.8 ? Any ideas what I can do to make things work with the HDMI to DVI cable. (N.B.: I have separate audio cable running from the MBP to amplified speakers for the sound side of things. It’s the video that’s the problem!)

Component Video from a Mac Pro

Hey All, i have a dual 2.66 mac pro with the Nvidia geforce 7300GT. What i'm trying to do is go from DVI to Component out to my 42" plasma to watch videos from the computer. The methods I've tried have results in an image of the desktop that is purple and flickering. Has anyone else done this? Or what are my other options. The plasma only has VGA, Component, HDMI and composite inputs, and I'd really like to go component so i don't have to take the monitor off the wall and re-wire.
Any light that can be shed would be greatly appreciated.
PS - To give a little back story I had a PC with a component out, so that is what is currently cabled to the tv, but the PC had a meltdown so now i'm converting fully to the MAC that I have had. I also have a HIS Digital x850 PCI-E graphics card from the pc that I have read can be put into the mac, but I'm not sure if i can do this or not. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

No I understand the video card doesn't handle audio, let me tell you my pc setup that I had and you tell me if I can do this on a Mac.
Video wise I had a graphics card with a DVI and VGA port, along with a port that adapted to a component video output (3 RCA Plugs, Red Green Blue). That cable I fed to my 42" plasma into one of its component video inputs.
Audio wise I split the normal audio card output (headphone plug), one went to the computer speakers, the other went from headphone jack to 2 RCA plugs (right and left), which went I fed into the left and right audio channels of the plasma's component input alongside the 3 component video plugs.
Is there any way to do this with my Mac? The reason I really want to component is because everything is already wired and I won't have to take the monitor off the wall. Also, I’d like to go component because it seems like it is easier to get the audio into the monitor using component, as I don't see an audio input if I plug in VGA, and don't see a way to get audio into the chain if I go HDMI.
Thanks.

Slow transfer of video from my mac to my Apple TV

Hi there!
I have a Time capsule (bought last year) as wifi source and an Apple tv 2nd generation. When I try to copy video on my tv from my macbook air 1.7 GHz core i7 using airplay, the video on the tv starts and stops all the time, while it continues on the screen of the mac. Watching videos from iTunes gives a similar result: it takes lots of time to start, and then it stops after a few minutes. My TC is 5 m away from Apple TV. I tried to connect my mac to the TC with an ethernet cable: no difference.
Using speedtest from my iPhone to test the speed of the wifi, I get 71Mbps download and 12Mbps upload: this should not be the problem....
Am I doing something wrong? what can I do to improve? The configuration of my appartment does not make it easy to connect the Apple TV to the TC with a wire.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you for the advise. This gave me an idea: I now connected the apple tv to the 5 ghz channel of the time capsule, and it works much much better. I still have problems with some mp4 videos recorded with a gopro. May be I should convert those to apple tv format? what would be the best way to do that (I normally use HandBrake or Imovie)

No Wi-Fi after using Apple TV to watch video from iTunes?

After watching video from iTunes library on ATV2 , when trying to use mac afterwards wi-fi slow or stopped. I Have to unplug router to get it working again. Don't think its always being like this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

My mac is not letting me drag a video from my mac onto iTunes?

the commercial is deceiving to me. i am not the most techy person and i thought that you could share full song playlist which to me meant the songs also. that is all, it wasnt anything you had said but i am really thankful you enlightened me because i would still be racking my brain trying to figure out how to do it.
You can share songs, but if there is DRM protection on the song, it will not play on the other device unless you also transfer the rights to the other device. You are getting into the problem of music piracy.

When trying to watch videos on YouTube and other sites the video screen is completely green.

When trying to watch videos on various websites including YouTube, the video screen is completely green. I can hear the audio, but no visual. This does not happen with every video, but it is fairly common for me. When I try to watch the same videos with Internet Explorer they work fine. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Last week
