Video not working properly

I tried installing all sorts of codecs, only to find that totem, and every other video/audio viewer was unable to play my file (it's avi). With totem I get a message saying Divx mp4 decoders are not install. In ffplay, mplayer, and vlc I get "illegal instruction".

The repository of archlinux.fr contains an additional codec pack (codecs-all). Perhaps this could do the trick.

YouTube videos not working properly in Windows 8

Hello - I have bought my first windows 8 computer today.
One of the first things I did was install Mozilla Firefox and then Adobe Flash.
To my horror, when I tried to load a YouTube video, one second of the video clip played, then the standard YouTube error message appears.
I have checked that I have properly installed flash player, that my firewall settings are correct, and that i have the latest video drivers.
Flash seems to work on everything besides YouTube and the Microsoft help forum (the submit button wouldn't work...) this is the same in Firefox and whichever version of IE I have installed on here
Any help is greatly received!
Thanks
Sam

Hello - at the time of writing the original post, I thought I had tried everything...
It turns out, however that Mozilla Firefox does not give you the option to enable or disable activex. As I hate Internet Explorer with a passion, I completely forgot to try disabling activex in that browser until I was absolutely forced to, when I re-read the instructions on the page that you have linked me to... (however I did this before you posted it.)
To cut a long story short, I ended up (after a solid four hours of trying different things) deleting my favourite browser (Firefox) and have now installed Google Chrome, which allows me to watch all the YouTube videos I desire... I'd just turned my computer on to remove this post when I saw that you had replied.
I shall send the Mozilla Devs an email and let them know about this issue - hopefully it will get somewhere in future updates!
Many thanks!

Video not working properly in Quicktime

Ever since I updated to the most recent Quicktime, video files have not been playing properly in full screen mode. They work fine in the small window, but the video is jumpy in full screen, so it's more like watching a slide show than a video. I never had this problem before the update. I have already switched to Safe Mode, but that hasn't helped. Can someone help me?

@ Lenny
That's a symptom of sites doing "browser sniffing" of the User-Agent string. IE11 is a modern browser and no longer looks like a new version of older versions of IE. However, it can be made to emulate other browsers in various ways. The simplest way is to use Compatibility View but then the site must accept requests from IE7 in Quirks mode. Other ways involve using the Developer Tools, Emulation tab (F12, Ctrl-8) but that is just a temporary override which must be reapplied each time it is needed. The best solution is for the site to start using modern practices. Otherwise switch to another browser.

Streaming Video Not Working Properly

Starting yesterday, I noticed that anytime I attempt to view a video from YouTube or any other video streaming site, the videos only load to a certain point and stop. It doesn't seem to matter what website I'm at. The load bar loads to about an inch and then that's it. Help! Thanks!

Was this problem solved? I am experiencing the same issue, on my iMac G4 and it may have started with the QT update as well. Video used to work fine, now it is choppy and eventually hangs up while the audio continues normally. This happens during playback in iTunes, Quicktime, and Foto-Magico (slideshow program)

Ipad1 with 64 gb, video not working properly. Is it fixable?

My very first iPad, I rec'd 5 yrs ago. It's a first generation and has 64 GB. I use it mostly to watch the videos - T V Shows & Movies I have downloaded on it. Today I watched a couple of short videos, then was going to watch a movie. It simply would not load. I tried with the "Video" icon and then by going to iTunes and choosing the movie I wanted. Sometimes it would not go to iTunes, it would revert back to the wallpaper. I never could get it to let me get to tech support to see if it was fixable. I am on another iPad at this time. I just love that little iPad and I love all of my movies and T V shows. This iPad I am using at present is only 16 GB so it will not support very many downloads. Help!!!

DDid you try quitting all the apps and then reset your iPad? Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Tsp and hold on an app icon until they all start to jiggle and display a minus sign. Tap on the minus sign to close out or quit the app. Then reset your ipad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously, ignoring the Red Slide to Power Off. Keep holding until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

"Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video may not work properly".

Turned my Dell running windows 7 off 2 days ago. Turned on today. Launched ITunes and got message "Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video may not work properly".
All my albums are there but won't play.
Deleted Itunes and reinstalled. Same as before.
Any ideas ??

Hey MrCurwen,
I was able to find an article that included the same error message you're experiencing:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot run because it detects an issue with QuickTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1371
According to that article, if you see the error message "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration," QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Please follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.
During the download:
If you choose to run the installer, proceed to the next step.
If you choose to save the download, double click the QuickTimeInstaller file, then proceed to next step.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install QuickTime.
Reopen iTunes.
Cheers,
David

The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly

The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly. It has sound without the headphones in but when I plug them in it has no sound, it's low, or poppy. I had only used my apple supplied headphones once before and it worked fine. I know it's not the headphones because I tried them on my girlfriends phone and they worked fine.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits

Hello,
My flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits with Firfox and IE8 (lasts versions).
My Flash player version : 10.0.45.2, but I tried with version 9 too, with same problems.
I have tried to uninstall, reboot, reinstall several times, ... witch did not worked.
In fact, it works correctly on some sites, like youtube, but not on some others like :
http://www.dailymotion.com/ => black screen instead of videos, right click gives flash context menu
http://www.canalplus.fr/ => videos does not load, right click gives flash context menu
http://www.myspace.com/ => no audio player, right click gives flash context menu

I have no problem with shockwave in http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
No problem too with flash player on http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
But in the Global Privacy Settings panel (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l), I cannot change any settings :
I cannot check boxes,
My changes are not saved.
In most of flash animations, videos, ...,
when I click on parameters, I cannot do anything, even closing.
when I am in full screen mode, the message "press escape to exit...." does not disappear.
Last thing, all those problems was not there when I was on Windows XP, few weeks ago, and appear with my registered Windows 7 premium familly edition, with the same hardware configuration...
Thank you for your help

I have no freez or crash.
Using IE, Shockwave Flash Object is Enabled and vs 10.0.45.2
Using FF, I have SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and it is Enabled
I really do not understand !!

Windows 7 Brightness and Function key not Working Properly

i have HP 15-af024AU APU Quad Core A8-7410 - (4 GB DDR3,1 TB HDD) Noteboook and it came with windows 8.1 preinstalled than i installed windows 7 ultimate.
i have problem in Display Brightness i am not able to change Brightness by function key or by manually from windows settings.
2. my Function key are not working properly . all key are fliped whiout holding function key it work as function key. 3. bluetooth is not working when i search for new device not able to find any available discouable bluetooth device. 4. wireless button software is not wokring in windows 7 i already updated my bios that available in drivers support and install alll drivers too properly so please give proper drivers for windows 7 for this product that works perfect.

Sorry that driver didn't work. You can try this graphics driver and if that doesn't work, unfortunately, I won't be able to help you with that issue. This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp71253.exe As far as the Fn keys being 'flipped,' I have no idea what you mean by that, or what to do about it. Did you install the software that controls the funtion keys? This package contains the HP System Event Utility, which enables special function keys on supported notebook models to be programmed. For example, HP System Event Utility enables users to press the Fn+ESC keys to view system information. This software works with the supported operating systems. File name: sp71156.exe

Iup graded the OS from 7 to 7.1 still the problem remain same Please help me to trouble shoot

Trouble shoot your wifi connection. If wifi is slow to buffer videos it will also have a problem with video chats.

I have lost track of the number of websites that do not work properly on the iPad without Adobe Flash player which is unsupported. I cannot use retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. All are missing tabs, links, info

I have lost track of the number of websites which do not work properly on my iPad. They include retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. They all seem to require Adobe Flash Player which cannot be downloaded onto an iPad. Skyfire does not solve the problem. They all load without vital parts of the site such as tabs, links and correct formatting. Any suggestions?

Most such brower/service combinations have a difficult time working with Flash-based apps and often fail completely. Flash videos are usually the most successful content these browers can handle. You can try the others apps - Puffin, iSwifter, etc - but you may find that none of them work, in which case you will not be able to use your iPad with these sites other than by using one of the various remote control solutions to take over a computer running the full Flash Player.
IMHO, any developer that built a Flash application for a billing or job application site was an idiot, but I know that's out of the control of anyone but the relevant company.
Regards.

Photoshop not working properly after new installation

I have a brand new Dell desktop that runs windows 8. I installed the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection and got a message saying that there were errors during installation and some things might not work properly. I uninstalled and did it a second time. Same message.
I then spoke with an Adobe agent that helped me download a program to detect what the errors were. He said they were minor issues and shouldn't affect the programs. No help there.
I then spent hours today speaking with Dell on the phone and the rep took remote control of the computer and did a diagnostics check on the hardware. He said everything is fine. I asked him if it might be the video card needing an update so he ran an update. Same issues, no change.
We changed the compatability to windows 7 and still no change.
I then uninstalled the creative suite and tried installing it from the desktop. Still same problems.
These are the issues in photoshop:
1)When using certain tools (transform tool, crop tool) the images goes completely black.
2) The background switches at random- sometimes checkered, sometimes grey, and sometimes black.
3) Color saturation is incorrectly represented. It switches whenever it wants. For instance, when I zoom in and out it changes.
In Adobe Bridge some of the RAW images don't show in the program. Some I just can't open. Others open fine. Those images will open in Photoshop but not in Bridge.
So I have no idea what to do and this is becoming extremely frustrating. I should add I haven't had any problems with Lightroom and it works fine as far as I can tell.
What could be causing these issues? Could the install CD be damaged?

I turned off the GPU in Photoshop's preferences as you suggested and everything seems to work properly now in Photoshop. In Adobe bridge the files are also all showing now and there doesn't seem to be the same issue there either.
I also tried enabling the GPU and changing it to Basic and it continues to work, but when it is changed to advanced when enabled the problems arise again.
So it seems as though the problem is with the video card or its driver as you said. I am not 100% sure that the Dell rep updated the driver from AMD but I am pretty sure he did. I did go to the AMD website and ran a program to detect if the driver needs to be updated and it resulted in a message saying that the driver is up to date and current.
As you said this is just a temporary solution and I want to make sure I have a working GPU system. What do you think the problem is then? How would you suggest I proceed? Should I contact Dell and tell them the problem seems to be with the installed video card?
