Unable to open BBC news video

On the BBC website I try to open news clip videos but it informs me I do not have the latest adobe software. I then download it but it still comes up with the comment 'unable to view as you do not have the latest version of adobe flash'. I can view the ITN news clips, You Tube and MSN video clips. What am I doing wrong?

Hi glspaobidos,
Please let me know what OS and browser are you using.

Hi acemelhaz,
hi i am new ive had my imac duo about 2 weeks in general im finding it great but when on internet annoying me a little first up i cant play bbc news video weather etc says i dont have mime plugin?
I believe BBC Weather uses the Real Player plugin for its video content. What you need to do is install it, but because it's written for the PowerPC, you'll also need to run Safari under Rosetta for compatibility.
also i cant get mail to receive google mail , it can send but wont receive..
Did you follow Gmail's instructions to the letter?
also some sites with security like when paying a bill wont load up?
How should I put this? Some sites are written with Windows/IE-compatibility in mind, which doesn't necessarily amount to Safari-compatibility. For the time being, as a Mac-user, you'll have to come to terms with the fact that there will be a handful of sites which won't work with Safari. That said, where Safari fails, other browsers such as FireFox, OmniWeb or Camino might in some cases. The trick is to use what works for a given scenario.
Some sites specifically check for your browser's user-agent, refusing access unless it detects what it's looking for. If that is what's happening in this case, then you could try spoofing your browser's ID. Enable the Debug menu by quitting Safari and entering the following line in the Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities/)
defaults write com.apple.Safari EnableDebugMenu 1
When you open Safari, you should see a 'Debug' menu to the right of 'Help'. Near the bottom of that menu, you should be presented with a 'User Agent' dropdown menu, allowing you to change the browser ID reported. Changing that to 'Windows MSIE 6.0' would be your best bet in most cases.
then next time will, and last of all i can no longer get my hotmail to work with msn messenger can someone advise me please thankyou

Unable to play Sky News videos with Firefox

Can play BBC news videos.
I have removed Ad block plus to no avail
I have un checked block pop ups
I have deleted all history and cache from Firefox.
Sky News videos play on Internet Explorer.
I have all the latest updates.
I unchecked Hardware acceleration but to no avail.
My Flash player is version 12.

Your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Unable to Open a New Browser Window

I have a couple users who are having trouble logging in to Discoverer on new PCs. They are using Internet Explorerer 8. They are able to get to the login screen, but when the hit connect (or Go) they get an error: "Unable to open a new browser window. Ensure that you do not have popup windows disabled for this site."
Obviously the first thing I had them do was turn off the popup blocker all together. But they still get the error (even after they restart their PC). Other than that, is there something I am missing in how they need to configure IE8? I'm personally used to using IE6 at work and don't know much about configuration setting for IE8.
Thanks!

Hi,
Exactly not sure,see if there are any pop-up blockers still exists,if so try turning pop-up on and off and check it.One more thing what java plug in are you using?? May be it perisists due to java also.
Best Wishes,
Kranthi.

I'm unable to open a new tab on my window, what do I do?

I installed mozilla firefox 17.0.1 since then I'm unable to open a new tab when i click on the + icon on the right of the other tab.

You can also try to update to Firefox 18.
*Help > About Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/update-firefox-latest-version
Another possible cause to consider is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Unable to open a new library panel

For some reason I am not able to close library panels I've
opened. I close
them all and I still get the message "Unable to open a new
library panel. The
limit of ten open library panels has been reached." I close
the panels and
still I am not able to open a new library panel. I close the
MAIN library
panel and then reopen it and all the previous extra library
panels open. Am I
missing something in the closing of the Library panels? INtel

I have this problem too on Windows Vista.
Any solution?

[fixed] DVD burning problems "Unable to open a new session."

I'm using a blank DVD (Yes, it really is blank. See below.) I tried to burn an iso on it. k3b fails, complaining "Unable to open a new session. Probably a problem with the media." If I use cdrecord, the same thing happens. Changing the burn speed (from the auto 8x to the minimum supported by the drive: 6x) doesn't help. The same thing happened when I ran cdrecord as root, with a priority of -20. (My user is in the optical group anyway.)
I tried burning the same iso to several different blank DVDs. cdrecord and k3b say the same thing for each. I tried burning the same iso to the same/first disc on another computer. It worked.
So what's wrong with this machine?
I have not tried using another DVD drive. I have not tried using a different iso.

If no applications work and no discs work then the drive might be broken. But before you spend money / bug your friends to borrow a disc drive, here's one more simple test:
Boot into a live environment of a "stable" Linux distribution, such as Linux Mint or Puppy Linux or whatever, and try burning a disc.

Unable to open a new window you must first close exsisting firefox process or restart your system. There is no firefox process running why should I receive this error msg?

I closed a Firefox process. Then clicked the FF icon to restart my browser. I received an error message. " Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window you must first close existing Firefox process, or restart your system. However there is no Firefox process running to begin with. I checked the task manager.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

It takes Firefox 5-15 seconds to completely close and for the OS to release the processes; it may take longer if you have a Flash animation/video running in one of the tabs. If not waiting long enough is not the problem, you can try the following to determine if an Extension or Plugin might be causing Firefox to hang at exit.
'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?
See: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application Kill Application]
'''Causes and solutions for Firefox hanging at exit:'''
[[Firefox hangs]]
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit]
[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

I am unable to open a new tab in Firefox 16.0.2 - clicking the + does noting and the "New Tab" option is greyed out.

Unable to open new tabs - "+" button does nothing, "New Tab" option is greyed out in "File" menu and keyboard shortcut doesn't work either.

Hello JonnieW
check it in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#os=win8&browser=fx16 Safe Mode], in Safe Mode window select "'''''Start in Safe Mode'''''" and see if this happen again, '''if not''' see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#os=win8&browser=fx16 Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]

Unable to view ABC News Video through News RSS Links - Help required

I have noticed only recently that if I go to a news story through an rss list. If it is an ABC news Video, the page comes up ok but then it never gets past loading. I cant seem to get the video to play. There are no obvious errors, it should not be bandwidth as I have a high speed service and everything loads ok,
Any ideas, I am using Safari 5.0.2

HI,
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon.
Now open the Library folder, then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist file to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari.
See if that helps...

I want to transfer BBC News videos to my ipod

If you click on the BBC you can watch news item videos in Real Player or Windows Media. They can be saved in .m3u, .rmp, .pls, .wpl or .asx file formats. Can anyone advise the simplest way to transfer and view any of these on the ipod? Is QuickTime Pro suitable?
Windows XP Pro

Hi,
These files are playlists (I think) so you can't convert them, because basically when you click them, they are a link to the file on the BBC, not the actual news videos, unfortunately.

I have an album of 30 videos, and recently am unable to open those individual videos. Any ideas?

I have an album containing many videos and recently am unable to open those files. I used to double-click and the video would start; now it shows the picture only. Any ideas??

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when you try to play a video in iPhoto?
can you play the video from outside of iPhoto with QT Player?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
Download and install QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later and try playing the videos again.

BBC news video outsize display

About two weeks ago when starting a video on the BBC news web site, the image was larger that the window resulting in only part of the picture showing. However after scrolling down to disappear the window and scrolling up again, the image has resized and shows correctly. This is on Safari only, everything works fine on Chrome. Macbook pro 15" with retina display, OSX 10.8.2.

Then start using Chrome as your main and IMHO Only Web Browser.

Ipad retina does not play bbc iplayer or bbc news videos

I have a new ipad retina and just today it no longer plays hte videos on the BBC news site nor will it load BBC iplayer. Any help would be great. Thanks

Can only offer generic things to try like quitting all apps (double tap on Home, swipe all apps upwards quit), then force-restarting the device (hold down Home and Sleep will screen goes dark and a white Apple logo appears, release and wait). Or check your connectivity to see if something changed (Wi-Fi, cellular).
The BBC doesn't consider us foreigners worthy of the digital pleasures, so no iPlayer for us. But the regular app seems to be working ok:
