Video requiring authorisation wont play

Since recent apple software updates (last few months) videos (in the correct mp4 format) no longer play inside my websites members area on Safari. The user is prompted for username and password when they initially login to the members area but when they click a video it just hangs on loading with a play button with a strike through it. Videos work fine outside the members area.
Any ideas why this has started to happen? It seems as though many people are having problems with content that requires authorization in Safari.
One way to solve this issue is to remove the requirement to be authorized (open to public) which is not feasible and the other was a quick fix I found searching for the problem online:
<Files ~ "\.(ogv|mp4|mov|m4v|webm)$">
    order allow,deny
    allow from all
    satisfy any
</Files>
This fix will play the videos in the members area but it defeats the object of the members area being protected because anyone with a link to the video could now access it. The rest of my htaccess file reads as follows:
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName RESTRICTED
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType video/mp4 .mov
AddType video/x-m4v .m4v
AddType video/webm .webm
Anyone have a solution to this or is it a "bug" that we just have to wait for Apple to solve. Seems strange that it only happened since recent updates. I have had no problems for years on Safari before now.

I know this wont be as helpful as you may wish, but i called apple about the same problem and i was shocked when the lady could not come with a good answer...my ipod makes the same noise as yours and it also "vibrates" a little, but i can tell you for sure i havent dropped it...apple its probably trying to figure it out them selves...

  • Quicktime video email attachment wont play

    I have a Quicktime email video attachment (470Kb) that wont play on my iPod Touch, just get the message 'This movie could not be played'. It plays fine on my computer so its not corrupted. I have no problems playing YouTube videos etc: so I cannot understand what the problem is. Any sugestions?

    There are QuickTime formats that will not play on iPods because the video format is not correct. Height, width, frame rate, etc. are all important to whether or not a video can be played on the touch. (I could send you a link to the touch specs but it seems overly complicated.)
    If you have QuickTime pro, you could convert the file to one that could be played on your touch. Even if you don't, you could copy the file into iTunes and run the iTunes conversion program on it.

  • Front Row in Leopard 'sees' DVD Video TS but wont play t ;-/

    Ok this was a surprise but Front Row now sees Video TS folders, correctly then says opening DVD player then after a minute or so says there is an error press play/pause to exit Front Row...
    So nearly there... anyoone else getting it to play Video_TS ?
    or is this a not there yet feature...

    This is great! I have an external hard drive with all my ripped VIDEO_TS folders on it. It is connected to my Airport Extreme and on the network via Airdisk for sharing. The disk is called "DVDz". I made an alias of the disk and placed it in my Movies folder. For each movie on your disk, first create a folder with the name of the movie, e.g. "Gladiator". In the "Gladiator" movie folder, place a jpeg of the movie cover named "Cover" and a folder called "DVD". In that that "DVD" folder, place the VIDEO_TS folder. If you nest the folders in this fashion, the new Front Row in Leopard will browse your movies and show the cover. Hook up to a projector and 5.1 sound system and you have your Apple HTPC solution. I am loving this! Thanks for listening, Apple!

  • Youtube videos wont play after using Quicktime (which changed my preferenaces) how to fix?

    I played a video in Quicktime on my pc (against my better judgement). Quicktime went through my FF & changed everything to be played in QT, now online videos, specificallt Youtube, wont play in my FF browser (3.6.14).
    I get sound but no picture.
    What do i change back to fix this?I have changed everything to either WMP or VLC to try & get it to play with no luck so i must be missing something?

    I had this problem and searched it and came up with a solution that works for me.
    First, I only started having this problem for the last few days, this came after a multitude of updates from Adobe and Windows.
    The videos would only play (though the sound kept playing) if I kept moving the mouse cursor over the video.
    My solution, I went into Tools \ Options \ Advanced \ Network ... and simply cleared the Cache Web Content. I might have also deselected Override Automatic Cache Management ... but regardless, this is the solution that is still working for me.
    I should also add that when FireFox gets flaky that's where I always go and that seems to solve any strangeness. Just passing this on.
    EDIT ---- Just now I experienced the same thing. I obviously did not fix this issue. Sorry for this unnecessary post.

  • My ipod 5th gen. 30 gig wont play video on to tv!! need help, please!

    Hi, I have searched and have found no answer. My ipod wont play on the tv. I don't have a offical Apple cable that plugs into the headphone jack to the tv. But I have a cable that I have found laying around my house that is exactly the same. It has a headphone connecter on one saide, and three other plugs on the other (yellow, white, red).
    I know if I'm not using a Apple cable that I have to rerange the cables, red to yellow, white to red, yellow to white. I've tried other combinations with NO success.
    I have the ipod set to TV on..
    And the only thing that happens is that white and grey lines start dancing around on the tv..
    and SOMETHIMES theres is some auido, but with only one speaker..
    I have tired two tv's. A hdtv and a flat screen tv.

    Stephanie,
    The reason a standard A/V cable won't work with the iPod if you match the colors is because the A/V cable standard was developed by Video Camera manufactures and they arbitrarily picked the connections on the 3-contact 1/8" plug to go to their colors.
    When Apple decided to put a three contact 1/8" jack on the iPod and use one contact for Video output, they couldn't match the same colors because the configuration picked by the video folks didn't match the two audio channels to the same ones used by standard headphones. So Apple had to make their own A/V cables to get the colors to match up correctly.
    If they hadn't made their own A/V cables (or made you use a standard cable with the colors mixed up) and made the iPod match the A/V standard then it would have required custom wired headphones for the iPod. Clearly you can see where the outrage would be if Apple seemingly MADE people buy their custom headphones and didn't let you use any headphones you wanted, right?

  • New ipad wont play videos on facebook

    i have the NEW IPAD (4G) and whenever i try to view videos on FACEBOOK, it wont play.
    It opened a browser and a play icon appears.
    I was able to play it on my laptop and saw the video without problem.

    It's likely that those particular videos require Flash Player to view.  Adobe discontinued supporting Flash Player for mobile devices a year ago, so you can't view those videos on your iPad.  You CAN view them on a laptop because Flash Player for computers still works fine.  This has been discussed endlessly on this Forum.
    Hope this helps

  • HT203180 Video wont play on itunes or sync to iphone

    Im an amateur boxer and one of my fights was videoed for me and put onto dvd, i then extracted it from the dvd and converted into a file using windows movie maker, but the file wont play through my itunes and therefore i cant put my fight on my phone ! I dont get a error message saying it cant be played or anything, it just doesnt come up ! When i click open with itunes, itunes will load and then just show my library ?! Any suggestions ? Thanks

    I mean that in the app store, the description of the app tells you what kind of hardware (what model phone) and what version of iOS the app requires to install and run... does your phone meet those requirements?

  • Just installed the latest Version of Firefox and it wont play any videos or games? Help, so tired and frustrated with this web browser.

    I just installed the newest version of Firefox version30. It wont play videos on youtube but i figured out what to do to fix that (change to "never activate" on Shockwave Flash add-on in plugins).
    But if i leave that setting on then the game that i try to play on Facebook tells me turn on flash and when i do i still get a blank screen on FB. What do i need to do?
    Im sure theres a simple answer. Ive tried at least 6 different things by reading others solutions and they have not worked. I dont get why why im still having problems WHEN I JUST FRESHLY INSTALLED THE NEWEST FIREFOX AVAILABLE FROM YOUR SITE!!
    These annoyances are exactly the reason I and many others have left Firefox for Chrome after being loyal for many years. Help please!

    Try to set the Flash plug to click-to-play by setting the permissions for Flash to "Ask To Activate" in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins". That way you can activate the Flash plugin when you need it via the Lego block icon on the location bar.
    Also, I don't even see Flash listed as installed on Firefox. Are you sure you have it installed? Try downloading it from the below site

  • When sending video from my iphone to apple tv it says on screen it is doing it but it wont play on tv but audio works great

    when sending video from my iphone to apple tv it says on screen it is doing it but it wont play on tv but audio works great

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
    I have created a User Tip to list Apps that have been tested with Video Airplay, if you have any Apps that you have tested please email me details and I'll add them to the User Tip.

  • 80g video wont play through tv at all

    i know this seems like an age old question...but considering im fairly tech savvy ive been puzzled as to why my ipod wont play music through my tv. i have a standard Y cable that works just fine when connected to my home theatre but will not play through my tv...at all, not just video. no music or anything. anyone know why?

    Er, by Y cable, you mean a standard RCA to 3.5mm cable?
    If yes, you'll need to plug each plug into the video (yellow) port and see which one carries the video signal. Apple switched around the signals for each cable, I think. Also, make sure the iPod is set to NTSC output in the Video settings screen.

  • How come my videos wont play in itunes on my computer?

    I tried to play back my videos I bought from the iTunes store and the ones I already had in the library. No videos (tv shows or music videos) just wont play. And I'm on a PC not a Mac. Thnx.

    Are you getting an "iTunes has stopped working" message when you try to play the videos?
    If so, try the following user tip:

  • Quicktime 7 wont play h.264 video??? how can i change that?

    Hey there
    I just tried to open a avi file in imovie and noticed that i could not import it. so i opened it with quicktime, but all it does is pop up a screen telling me, that a certain codec is missing.
    I would get that codec if i only knew which one.
    The weird thing is, that the avi file i try to open is in H.264. it's a HD video-file.
    Also, opening it with VLC is no problem, but as i wanted to edit/cut the video-file, i need to be able to open it with iMovie...
    I'm running OS X Leopard, 10.5.8, all updates installed, iLife 09, Quicktime Version 7.6.4 Pro...
    The info on the video-file i can get is the following:
    Format: "h264", 1920x1080, Millions
    FPS: 105.20
    Data Rate: 28.57 mbits/s
    Any help on this one???...Im a little desperate tbh!
    THANKS in advance

    ok, i uninstalled them... still no video, just audio.
    yes...i can watch them with vlc, but my intention was to open them in iMovie, so I can edit/cut it... iMovie wont recognize the file as importable, thats when I realized thet Quicktime wont play it either!
    So I figured, that once i get Quicktime to recognize it, iMovie should rec it too.
    So my current situation. audio: ok, video: nothing
    btw. its an .avi file. It came off of my toshiba cam
    any ideas?
    thanks in advance
