Ugh, why can't i just get a video to play?

At this point I feel like I have tried everything, and I cannot get a video to play from my courses.
I posted before asking about vimeo but since that doesnt seem to work, I will ask a broader quesiton.
How can I get a video to work? It really seems like it shoudl be able to do this.
- I have elearning courses, inside i want to embed a video
-i then upload my courses to a site called bloomfire, basically a content management system for customers to login to
-i cannot upload a folder of files, so i upload the flash file , then the video file and my link to the file is cited in the captivate file..it will not work. I even have the 'behind the scenes' link which is one an amazon s3 server...still does not work.
-it also wont work if i host the video on vimeo
I have spent so much time on this I just need a video to play somehow...any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank-you,
Kelly

Hi,
Thank-you for your response.
Can you tell me what you mean by the .js and .css files? what about them specifically?
I am able to apparently link to a video I put on my own website that is just http. Should I be able to link to videos on vimeo normally? Or youtube?
Thank-you,
Kelly

Why can't I just get rid of the Metro UI altogether?

I don't want it, I just want Windows to function like 7 does, however since you've decided to make DX12 Windows 10 only, I'm going to HAVE to upgrade at some point.
The metro crap is so annoying, like when I right click to disable my Wifi adapter in Network connections, it pulls up the Metro UI............... why? Why can't I right click and have a bar pop up where I've right clicked like how Windows has always done
it. I fail to see how pulling up a different UI in another locations helps at all... just makes more button presses as I then have to do a few more clicks in there to get to where I just was on the Desktop.
Since I have 3 monitors, the Metro UI always opens up on another monitor, which makes it even more annoying.
I just want it all gone, I've never used it, I have no interest in your tablets or phone so I couldn't care less about it. Just give me a plain and simple Desktop for fuck sake!

That assumes Microsoft actually has both the intention and the talent to change it for the better.
Where's the evidence of that?
With the latest build, 9860, we see what changes, exactly, after 3 weeks of work?
Slight tweaks to the theme (which is ugly).
New/adjusted window transition animations (which are annoying and don't handle the drop shadow properly).
A new Notifications window that appears BEHIND an auto-hidden Taskbar.
A prototype zPC Settings app that implies they're re-implementing the control panel in Metro/Modern.
Event messages that are virtually all undocumented.
No build symbols available on the Microsoft online symbol server.
A Task Manager that still won't remember what tab it was last on.
Gargantuan CPU and GPU power and we still can't resize a Metro/Modern app to be small.
Ask yourself: Do we see ANY evidence at all that Microsoft has made ANY direction change from pursuing that which caused Windows 8 to fail?
Where is the innovation? Where is the effort? I'm just one engineer and I can tell you my own software products have changed more in the past 3 weeks than Windows has.

I've loaded Firefox, I get led to everything other than how to use it. Why can't I just get a usable Web page?

I have uninstalled Firefox several times today. I attempted to reinstall and kept getting "update" pages that do not seem to lead to a Firefox browser. I've looked at the help pages and they lead to confusing but unhelpful sequences. I want to use Firefox to use bookmarks and to extend material that will be helpful to me as I pursue Web sites.
I'm not interested in complex and multilayered until I can get basic functions operating as I expect them to operate.
I started using Firefox 6 months ago and it worked fine. I liked it and it served me well. I recently updated to #37.0 and since then, I cannot get past the first page which instantly shifts to a page the give me options that are useless to me.
Shou0ld I drop some of the plug ins?

Why can't I just use my debit card for adding my child to family share?!

I want to use my child on family share but can't because I don't need or want a credit card, my bank has fraud protection, who actually just called me about fraud because I purchased the newest iPhone! I don't like credit cards. Why can't I just use my debit card as usual? Kids can get credit cards just as easily as they can debit cards! This is ridiculous. Why isn't there another option to verify I am the parent?! I am so beyond angry right now. Like I am being punished for not owning a credit card!! Otherwise there will be another way to do this. A person should have the freedom to use their chosen form of payment without missing out on all the options available. Honestly even if I wanted a credit card I haven't enough credit because of past mistakes. So this is not making me happy at all.

Mad Parent,
I feel your pain. We refuse to have credit cards, too; yet it's required in order to create a child's apple id. I will most definitely be leaving feedback with Apple. This is absolutely ridiculous that we can't just use our debit cards! Mine is a VISA. I use it to make CREDIT CARD transactions everywhere else, why not be able to use it the same way here!?
I just had to restore my sons phone because he forgot his 4-digit password and got it disabled. I didn't have it already on my itunes so my only option was to restore it. I wanted to create his own apple id so he didn't have to keep using mine. Because every time he downloads a new game it automatically ends up on MY device as well, not just his. Anyway, he needs his own apple id. But, apparently, that won't be happening until Apple gets their heads out of their butts and figures out how to serve ALL of their customers!
Signed,
Equally Mad Parent

Why can't I just download the old iPod app? The new music app offers NO podcast support?

I just downloaded and installed os5, and now all of my podcasts are gone (everything else is fine), and there is no program that will play them when I download them again.
What is going on? Why can't I just go get the old iPod app, it worked fine.

Mine plays them fine ... But it did move the Podcast button off the main page. Click on "More" and then you should see them. You might want to make sure that iTunes is still syncing podcasts to your phone.
If you click "edit" (top left) you can move it back to the bottom row.

I am trying to purchase albums from the iTunes store and all the website says is that the price has changed. Why can't I just use a gift card/myaccount?

Why can't BT ever get an order right?

Why can’t BT ever get an order right?
I placed an order for a telephone and broadband package last week on the 15th with an install date of Friday 25/10/13. I paid my line rental up front and got an email with the order details stating I should get another confirmation email within 5 days.
6 days later surprise, surprise no email. So I ring the number to call on the email and get through to Robo-BT the talking twit. It asks me to explain my problem and will then put me through to the right department which of course it doesn’t because it doesn’t understand human. 20 minutes later with only two disconnects I finally get through to a human and begin the BT Shunt between departments; three in total only taking 25 more minutes. I then get told the order is stuck somewhere in one of BT’s systems and needs to be cancelled and restarted because unlike any other company on the planet BT can’t just fix something or move the order along or manually progress it, they have to pick the worst possible solution to a problem! So they cancel the order and tell me I will be refunded the month I have already been paid (Which I haven’t as yet!)
After going through all the order details again (which were in front of the advisor on the old order!) and repeatedly telling her no when she kept trying to hard sell extras I didn’t want, we finally got to the appointment stage and I was then told… “Good news! We can have an engineer out on the 22nd of November!” I replied: “WHAT?!?!?! That’s over a month away and my first appointment was for this Friday? Why can’t you get an appointment before then?” she said “The engineers must be busy!” She said you can still use your BT ID to log on to BT Wi-Fi to get internet access in the meantime. So I said yeah whatever but I couldn’t make the 22 so said to make it for the 28th of November.
Once the email came through confirming the order again I noticed the BT Internet email hadn’t been setup and therefore I can’t even get in to BT Wi-Fi to see if it works! So to sum up:
I’ve paid out £141.00 for a service BT has cancelled and not refunded!
I have to wait 6 and a half weeks before I can get a phone line!!! Surely that’s in breach of the SLA’s and I should be entitled to some form of compensation or the appointment being rebooked for Friday again?
I’ve got no BT Email and can’t access BT Wi-Fi which may or may not provide some form of internet service. I’m not counting on anything good from looking at the thousands of bad reviews and poor rates it’s got on the Google Play Store!
Who can I contact to sort out this mess?

Why can I not just have a new phone.

I am on my 3 refurbished replacement phone and am starting to get fustrated with Verizon. Every refurbished Galaxy S III that has been sent to me has had a different malfunction. Why can't I just have a new phone enstead of a refurbished one.

I do carry the insurance and you are right about the contract but I am still fustrated that out of 3 replacement phones, all 3 have something wrong with them. And yes I did get my original phone at a discount price but it was still $300+ so it should of lasted longer than 6 to 7 months.
Yes, it should, that's why they have a warranty, and the warranty says that after 14 days and up to 1 year, they will replace it with a refurbished device.
If you buy a new car and have problems with the transmission after 6 months, do they give you a new car, or "refurbish" the one you have? (It's not like Verizon is doing something "new and different" with their warranty)

HT201471 Why can't I just type in my apple serial number and identify which ipad that I have?

Why can't I just type in an ipad serial number and find out what model it is? This used to be a function of the Apple Tech Specs. Why has it been removed? If it is in a different place, where is it?

Have you tried here? This will tell you which model of iPad you have when you enter the serial number.

***? Why can't I just re subscribe to my magazine?

This seems so lame? Why can't apple just let me purchase using any of my Apple IDs?
I wouldn't have had two if I didn't sign up for the lame MobileMe. I also would have understood all of this had they explained when I purchased anything on the iPad that chose to use my other apple ID as a default. Where did that come from?
Now I can't even pretend to buy for the first time using the other apple ID.
This is driving me crazy.
I did try to contact apple thru the email support. It didn't work.
I tried to change my ID, but it keeps going back to the other ID.
Please, someone help.

If you don't see a Subscriptions section, then you have not purchased any subscriptions using that Apple ID.
To change the Apple ID that you are using in the App Store app, open the app to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and sign out. Then tap again and sign in with the other Apple ID. You will be informed that for the next 90 days this is the only Apple ID that can be used on this device in the App Store. After you have signed in with this other Apple ID, follow the instructions to view the account so that you can maintain the subscriptions.

Why can't I just use DreamWeaver?

I purchased a subscription to DreamWeaver nearly a year ago, but every time I try to open the program, it tells me that my trial period has expired. When I follow the instructions to "License this Software," it tells me to log in and asks me for a serial number. When I key in the serial number--the exact serial number that's listed with my username and password--it tells me the serial number is invalid. Why can't I just use the software? I've been paying a monthly fee for 11 months now, and I have to go through this charade every time I triy to use the software. Been using computers for 30 years and never experienced anything like this. Any advice?

Hi JohnLynnBob,
You should delete all the Adobe entries from the 'hosts' file in your computer.
The location of hosts file is
For windows :-- C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Open it with notepad)
For Mac :-- Open finder window ---> click on Go on the top ---> Go to folder --->Type '/etc' ---> Press enter --- hosts ( open it with text edit)
If you see any Adobe entries in the hosts file delete them, save the file, and then launch the product ---> license this software ---> sign in ---> the subscription will be activated.
Thanks
Kapil

P.S. 2 more issues
1. Firefox is the only browser that always give me trouble attaching files in gmail. I still use firefox for all browsing but for mail attachments, I use others. And yes, I have done the "Clear cookies, reset, reinstall, clear cache, etc etc etc... none worked for more than a few days. no such problem with other browsers.
2. Your new updated search bar (Top right hand corner) is nice but can be very irritating for the following reason:
I like to highlight - copy (a word or phrase) - and paste it in the search bar. was fine with the older version, but now as soon as I right click to past, the menu pops up for me to select a search engine. Very irritating since I have yet to paste the copied word or phrase. I rather paste it and then have the option to click on the drop down menu. If you see this as not something masses would want, please place an option in setting for us to stop the suggestion for search engines coming up automatically when we try to right click in the side search bar to paste.

You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.
You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
*browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile.
*browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile.
So you can reset those prefs via the right-click context menu to reset changes made to the about:newtab page.

Why can't I just do this...

I will be upgrading to a mac pro soon, and I was reading around on topics regarding itunes library transfer. Why can't I just drag my current user/music file to the user/music file on the new computer? I know I will be resetting all of my preferences, but this way sounds logical to me, will it work?
thanks

The migration works like this:
When you first power on the Mac Pro, it opens a setup assistant. The setup assistant asks you if you want to transfer stuff from another Mac. It then has you put your old Mac into a special mode that allows it to be used as an external disk on the new Mac. More info is here and here.
If your old computer doesn't have the data on it anymore, you may be out of luck though. I don't know if it will transfer settings from a FireWire disk. If the disk is an exact clone of the hard drive in your old Mac, it might.

Why can't I just speak to somebody in Sales? Why don't Adobe have a sales number on their site?
