TS3274 Videos won't play. Not YouTube or any other videos. I also have no sound. Are these common failures for a three year old gen 2 iPad?

Videos won't play. Not YouTube or any other videos (just started today). I also have no sound, keypad clicks, shutoff click, etc. Are these common failures for a three year old Gen 2 iPad?

For the issue with the videos that will no longer work, try closing all apps and then reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
For the issue with sounds, you have system sounds muted.
Check the side switch above the volume rocker on the side of the iPad. Flip it the other way and see if you get sound from the apps, keyboard clicks, etc.
If not, double tap the home button to bring up the task bar at the bottom. In the task bar swipe all the way to the right. Look on the far left side and see if there is a speaker icon. If there is, tap it and see if the sounds on apps come back. Then tap the home button.
You can change how the side switch works to either lock screen rotation or to mute system sounds. You can go to Settings>General>Set Side switch to Lock Rotation or mute. If you choose mute, the switch will turn off apps sounds. Otherwise you use the task bar as described above to mute those sounds.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Cannot hear any sound from WMP, youtube, or any other videos

I use a Vista SP2 HP Pavilion dv6 laptop. Yesterday suddenly, all sound died on me. The previous day, I had downloaded flash videos from a website called www.auditchannel.tv (this is a website run by the Institute of Internal Auditors, a
global organisation), and was able to hear the sound. I muted the speaker at that time. Yesterday, I tried to listen to the same flash videos after unmuting the speaker, but could not hear any sound. Tried playing videos on Youtube, other
videos that I had downloaded earlier, but even there no sound was audible. Then tried playing my mp3 files on windows media player but got the error message saying "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. For additional
assistance, click Web Help."
I've tried everything listed on Microsoft Support sites. This includes:
i) going to Device manager and ensuring that all the sound devices are showing as working correctly, and all related drivers are uptodate
ii) downloading Microsoft Fixit exe files for AudioPlayback and WinMediaPlayer, running the exe files, which reinstalled WMP...
but the problem was not resolved !
Would appreciate your help to fix this issue.
One more point - Day before yesterday night, some automatic updates were downloaded by Windows Update overnight, and when I woke up my machine the following morning, I noticed that it had actually shut down and restarted. But it seemed that the auto
update files had not been fully installed. So, yesterday night, I ran the Windows Update manually, and installed all the pending updates fully. Not sure if this sound problem could have been caused by this event - ie. partial installation, then
running Windows Update again ?? The auto updates were the following:
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista
Security Updates for Windows Vista...various
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - December 2013
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 for Windows Vista
ZTEMT Corporation - Bus Controllers and Ports - ZTE...various
Synaptics - Input - Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad
Definition Update for Windows Defender

The internal speakers started working after uninstalling the sound drivers and restarted the machine, after which the system reinstalled the High Definition Audio Device driver, which was hitherto being used for the Headset speakers.
Today, the external speakers (the ones used by the headset) stopped working. Both the internal and external speakers
have the same High Definition Audio Device driver. Both are showing "device is working properly", but when the headset is plugged into the two jacks (in and out), the sound does not come from the headset earpiece, but from the internal speakers (ie the loudspeakers).
Any solution for this ?
My wife's machine has been having a similar, though not identical problem, since the last couple of weeks. In her
case, when the headset is plugged in, there is no sound at all, neither from the headset speakers, nor from the internal speakers.
Just to eliminate the possibility of the headsets malfunctioning, I tried using another headset, but with the same
results as above.
All these audio problems started a couple of weeks ago, after a Windows overnight update, as detailed in my opening
post under this thread.

Videos won't play on youtube

All my other computers are able to watch videos on youtube, my relatively new Macbook Pro 15" however seemingly lost the ability to do so this morning. I have the latest Flash Player 10, and am running Safari. Thanks for any suggestions.

Please be more precise as to what happens when you try to watch a YouTube video.

HT1338 music wont play from youtube or any other internet source, but in the itunes library it works..

any time im using the internet wanting to play videos or listen to music the sound doesnt seem to work. i can turn up the volume and hear the clicks from the volume bar but the sound will not play!! and it works anytime im in itunes store or my own library. ( used about 4 diferent sets of headphones, so this is not the cause.)

maricanavan--
That information is in the information dominic linked for you. Take a minute to really read it, OK? It's not hard.

TS1398 My iPad will not connect to WiFi. It will not even register any wireless networks. I have tried everything based on hours of research on the internet including restoring the iPad to its factory settings and changing the security on my router. Hel

I have literally tried everything that I could possibly find on how to fix the problem and it is still not connecting. I am reaching to find out if anyone knows what my next steps would be or if I just need to contact Apple. Thank you for your help!

Try a soft reset or turn the device completely off then turn it back on again. Also you can toggle Airplane mode on for about 10 seconds and then turn it off. Sometimes that resets the radio signal inside the device.
A soft reset is basically holding onto the power button and the home button simultaneously together for about 10 seconds or until you see the screen flash and it should go completely black. Afterwards, tun the device back on like normally and see if that fixes the problem.

Videos won't play after upgrading to ios7.1

Everything worked fine under ios7.0.4 and previous ios versions but videos won't play on YouTube or Facebook since upgrading to ios7.1. This is true for my ipad 4 and my wife's iPad mini. I have tried resets and reboots but did not help. May try to reinstall 7.0.4 unless someone has other ideas. All help appreciated.

You won't be able to install 7.0.4.
I have no problems playing YouTube videos on my iPad 4 or iPhone 5 using iOS 7.1.

Videos won't play in powerpoint when connected to projector

I've tried to find a solution for my problem online but haven't come across anyone with the same issue. I often work with powerpoint presentations with many videos in it. The videos play just fine on my laptop and also when hooked up to an external monitor, which I use when at work, both in slideshow mode and when previewing my animations. However, when I hook up my mac onto a projector the videos won't play - not on my laptop screen nor on the projected screen. I've tried rearranging the displays by draggin the menu bar to either display and also switched from mirror screens to presenter's view within powerpoint but nothing helped solve the issue. The only solution I found is to play the presentation on my windows partition - which is not really what I'm planning to do for long term...
I'm using Powerpoint 2011 for mac and this problem has occurred using multiple projectors.
Any help on how to solve this issue is highly appreciated!

I had the same problem today in front of an audience with 300 people (MacbookPro OSX 10.10, Thunderbolt-VGA adapter, PPT 14.4.6).
Here what I figured out so far:
1. It happens when you have PPT open and connect to beamer afterwards
2. You can resolve it (in my case) by quitting PPT and launching it WHEN connected to beamer
3. Yet, make sure Mac does not go into sleep mode or you get a lock-screen in the waiting time. if you do so, you get back to square 1. quit PPT again 2. restart it.
4. Also.... in one case I had to hit the volume control once to get the sound back even though movie was playing
So in short: Connect to beamer first, then launch PPT
I know it is only a symptom fix but it worked for me

Hulu videos won't play

Hulu videos won't play. They put a different video player on and I've done all I can think of to be able to watch videos there.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled flash.. that didn't help.
I've posted there and no replies..
Could firefox be stopping it from working?
Hulu has always worked fine before.
Thanks.

Had the same problem recently and just found the solution:
Caused by firewall/anti-virus
Go to-->McAfee Security Center--> Internet & network (configure)--> Firewall (advanced)--> Program Permissions--> find on the list: "Plugin Container for Firefox"
If it has "restricted access", this is the problem. Change it to Outbound Only Access or Full Access.

When I closed out of yahoo email, get a blank page on every tab if any are opened. I have to exit out & restart firefox . It does not happen w/any other browser.

When I sign off on yahoo email. I get a blank page on every tab if any are opened. I have to exit out & restart firefox . It does not happen w/any other browser. I have no malware or viruses. Please advise.

Actually, it's not obvious & common sense would dictate that users' bookmarks would not be left stuck to random computers even once they've logged out of the account. No one wants that if it's a public work computer or if they're traveling & use an Internet cafe. As I am not the only one who has noticed this issue or had bookmarks disappear/be deleted, in addition, common sense would indicate it's not really a very good system. And carrying around a flashdrive to run Firefox off of it is a good solution? Really? Just curious why a useful feature such as being able to login & use your preferences & bookmarks & then logging out removes your preferences when you're gone hasn't been developed. Yahoo keeps my preferences when I logout (it's called My Yahoo!). Maybe a My Firefox or My Chrome solution could be developed.

Help me please, games crash on launch, youtube videos won't play.

Whenever i start up sound blaster cinema it just crashes, it will be fine for about 10 seconds, then it just crashes, it will usually freeze up everything when it crashes only thing i can do is move my cursor around, it will unfreeze after 10 seconds or so as well.
I have tried to update sound blaster cinema but there are not updates available.
It would usually go back to normal after a shutdown or a restart but this time it wasn't having any of it.
Can anyone suggest anything that i couldn't think of?
The crashing first started a month+ ago, but today when I was playing L4D2 a boomer explosion crashed L4D2 and sound blaster cinema simultaneously and now sound blaster cinema won't stop crashing after launch.
(Edit)
I can't launch any games, i try to play the game osu! and it launches normally except the screen turns black and then it crashes. i try to launch steam and login but the login menu wont pop
I can't even play a youtube video, the background of the video will show but the video won't play, it's not buffering but the video is loading.
windows media player won't launch as well, videos on my computer will not play at all.

(FIXED)
I went and downloaded thee intel(R) driver update utility 2.0 went to find drivers and then to auto detect and updated my drivers.
This is the driver that helped me. vvvv
( Iris, irispro, and hd graphics driver for windows*7/8/8.1 version 15.36.19.64.41.70 )
Sound blaster cinema doesn't crash on launch anymore, neither does my game osu! and youtube videos now play.

Embedded videos won't play on any browser (youtube will, though)

Hi all, I'm at my wits end. I have a fairly new computer running Windows 7 64 bit OS. The problem is with non-Youtube embedded videos. Flash has been playing them only on IE up until today, now it won't work in any browser (including Chrome). (Youtube seems to work fine, embedded or not) As an example, when looking at Facebook, any embedded Youtube video plays just fine, but all other videos only give me the black rectangle of doom. I've just spent three hours following all the instructions here: I've uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted the registry key in these instructions. I've disabled ad blocking and turned off my only antivirus program (Microsoft Security Essentials). I've tried downloading Flash Player using every browser and both 32 and 64 bit versions of the browsers. Nothing makes the embedded videos play. The Flash version I have is 11.6.602.171 and the little movie with the ball going by the screen shows fine, and the correct OS is showing. I'm baffled and out of ideas. Thanks for any help!

There must be some other people who have encountered this same problem.

Certain youtube videos won't play in Firefox

Firefox 20.0.1, windows 7, flashplayer up to date.
Certain youtube videos won't play. The advert beforehand plays, and then the video just displays a black screen, no loading, trying to skip to a later time in the video doesn't work. It seems to be certain youtube users whose videos won't play, users whose videos I was able to watch only yesterday. The featured video on the user's channel is watchable, but not when opened separately.
IE won't show the affected videos either.

In addition to these symptoms, I've noticed that I can view these troubled videos on my cellphone just fine, but neither my XP or Win7 machine, which have all software updated can view. So if it was on youtubes side, it wouldn't work on my phone either.

Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

You tube app videos won't play no more just a spinning wheel.

You tube app videos won't play no more just a spinning wheel. I've deleted history and data stuff and tried rebooting but still the same. Please help.

Are you using the YouTube app or Safari?
Could be the videos are Flash based, which Safari can't display.
Adobe has not made a version of Flash for the iPad.

TS3274 Videos won't play. Not YouTube or any other videos. I also have no sound. Are these common failures for a three year old gen 2 iPad?
