Video in Safari not playing -- one specific site only!

I'm having a frustrating time trying to troubleshoot a problem with video content in Safari 5.1 on one particular site -- www.cleveland.com. The problem also occurred in Safari 5.0, but it's a recent thing -- video content on the site worked fine until about three weeks ago. I cannot recall installing an extention or anythning like that, but there may have been a system upgrade in there somewhere (maybe from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8?).
What I get is a blank black box where the video should be playing. Video on all other sites works fine. The cleveland.com video uses a pop-up window for playing, and that window appears whether the built-in Safari pop-up blocker is on or off. The new window/player pops up, and there is content in that window, but the video box remains black.
I've searched discussions here and at Adobe, reinstalled the Flash player, uninstalled, reset permissions, reset the developer web agent, turned hardware accelleration on and off, etc. -- a ton of solutions have been presented to fix the black screen of Flash, but none of them have solved my problems with this site.
BTW, I get the exact same result in Firefox and Chrome. So it's something at the site or my system, right? I have asked the tech folks at the site, and they are not helpful. But they at least confirmed it is Flash content.
Does anyone see something I am missing, or have other solutions to try?
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

I'm having this same problem. On mobile websites before 3.0 update in safari, you would click to watch a video and it would open video viewer and i could watch them fine.
Now you click on a video to watch and a bunch of random text starts showing on the screen, like it's trying to stream the video - but the ipod touch doesn't know what to do.

I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.
Take your time, study and use the > Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions if you get stuck or aren't sure how to make the move.

Certain Video files do not play in Photoshop Elements 13

Hi Forum
I have a problem whereby certain Video files do not play in Photoshop Elements 13 Organizer. The pattern seems to be they are .MOV files. But some files of the same type do play okay? So wondering why some are okay and others not?
I have installed a trial version of Premiere Elements 13 and ALL files play fine there. I understand Premiere installs all relevant CODECS to support all video formats, so why does Elements Organizer not make use of those CODECS?
Many thanks and Kind Regards
David

I have ipad with IOS 7, Some apps doesn' t work, safari not open some web site. What can I do?

Try this and see if it helps.
Settings>Safari>Clear cookies and data.
Now close Safari completely. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then "swipe up" or "drag up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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.

I'm trying to play a song and itunes is repeatly asking me to authorize the account. I have authorized the account and it will not play one particular song. What should I do?

If just one song on an album is doing that, that suggests the track is damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

When playing one specific band, the iPod freezes, has to be restarted...

When trying to play one specific band, the iPod freezes and has to be restarted. Tried to clear and load the songs again many times, even downloaded the band's album from a different place, it's no use tho. It crashes EVERY TIME. With only this one band. Anybody having any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
I have had this problem for quite a while also. Actually there was a thread on this problem a month or so ago, but no one seemed to have a fix. The first CD will import fine, but after that any additional CDs you insert into the drive remain unrecognized until you exit and restart Itunes at which point the CD and drive are recognized, the track information is retrieved, and the CD will import normally. This is a real hassle.
I have done the obligatory reinstall to no avail. It would seem that this problem is common enough that someone would have discovered the fix.

Mac Book-Need assistance. I can not access one specific internet site

I'm unable to access one specific web site without clearin all history each time I access. I dont have this problem accessing any other website. My system is too old for Apple support. Has anyone experienced this before? Thank you

Hi shldr2thewheel. the option you provided says the site is up. I still receive the message that Safari can reach the server. I have checked w/th site owner and the isp and they say to contact the manufacturer. I'm stumped. do you have another suggestion? Thank you

I am getting an invalid certificate notice when going to one web site only, that formerly was not a problem. Happens with Safari and Google Chrome. Any ideas?

I am getting an invalid certificate notice when going to only one web site, that previously was OK. Happens with both Safari and Google Chrome. Would emptying the system cache fix the problem?

Well, it seems weird & it has no email listed, you might try contacting them to see...

Safari not playing videos on imac

You tube videos not playing after recent software update on Apple.

Apple has become more stringent, validating applications that run on your Mac. A few moths ago they basically "turned off' Java. The same may have happened to your Flash player. I agree with the previous post, go to Adobe and get the newest version and see if that helps.
Cheers

Safari not playing embedded midi music clips

I recently noticed that embedded midi music clips in Apple Mail and in Safari do not play. Basically, I am referring to background music one often hears while going to some web sites. Particularly those individual web sites folks have created. Of course, many on this forum, who have never been a Windows user and specifically, Internet Explorer, probably never realized there even was any background music.
This is not necessarily a issue for me, but it is for my Mom ,who, along with many others her age, like animated graphics and music in their emails and web sites.
I still can't believe Apple Mail and Safari can't auomatically play embedded midi files. Especially given that Internet Explorer and Outlook Express can.
Many one option is using Firefox and Thunderbird for a Mac?

Hi,
I still can't believe Apple Mail and Safari can't auomatically play embedded midi files. Especially given that Internet Explorer and Outlook Express can.
Safari can provided the page has been coded correctly. Many sites that add sounds use the <bgsound> tag which is only supported by Internet Explorer and not part of the HTML standard.
