Videos from some websites do not load.

Videos from some websites no longer load on my Macbook Air even though they did load until recently. The two sites where I have noticed the problem are Fine Woodworking and the Weather Channel. YouTube, news channels, and other sites work normally. The problem occurs with both Firefox and Safari, suggesting that it is not a browser problem. I have turned off the Mac firewall, and I have disabled AdBlock, though both of those were turned on when the videos used to load and run. Turning them off made no difference. I also have checked that my software is up to date (browsers, Flash player, operating system), and it is. I am not quite sure when the problem started, but it is quite recent. I am unaware of any change I have made to the computer, except perhaps installing some automatic software updates. Everything else seems to work normally.

"The problem occurs with both Firefox and Safari, suggesting that it is not a browser problem".
Anti virus software installed?
Any apps such as Little Snitch, MacKeeper, or CleanMyMac?

Embedded videos from various websites no longer load

embedded videos from various websites no longer load. i just get a black mini screen with no controls. they do load when using other browsers and this only started within the last few days

i just tried safe mode and that makes no difference. the videos that do not load are ones embedded in websites such as the huffingtonpost etc. the website loads as normal. when i click on an article with a video the article appears but the area where the video usually appears is just a black box. typically that box contains a "promo shot" and video operating controls. recently this area is just black. this happens on numerous news type websites. when i use safari as my browser everything works fine

I recently updated my IOS software on my IPAD with the latest version and now video from some sites does not run. I did not do the update on my other IPAD and the video runs fine. Any idea why.

I have an IPAD 3 and recently updated the IOS software with the latest version and now video from some sites will not display where it did prior to the update. When I go to those same sites on my other IPAD that I did not do the softward update the video still works. Any idea why and what to do to fix it?

Try this - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Why do some videos from some website stop working after seconds or minutes on a new iPad

I subscribe to some website posting videos. The videos will start as it should and then stop after, sometimes seconds, and sometimes minutes after the beginning.
The iPad is less than 3 weeks old. it is already the second. The first was a 16 GB this one is a 32 GB. no difference. This issue does not happen with only one website but other posted videos from other websites.

This and other answers helped me to understand better why I cannot view these videos and search for answers. I found that the videos posted by this website end in .cfm, and doing research cfm is Adobe and is not compatible with apple software ? why this is not resolved is surprising to me - Several other people experience the same issue as I (dating 2007-to 2013) I am not computer literate but I know how to find information on the web and know +or - how to use the programs. There seems to be nothing that will convert these videos into a format that the iPad could process and allow. should I buy quicktime for my windows device and transfer/sync it to the ipad (?)(3 weeks old I paid $900) will this work. I have tried to upgrade the firmware to my router but no luck there either; even following all the steps religiously. the unzip is not working? I get a file the upgrade button rejects.
if it is this cfm format that is doing that, then there is no reason to spend x$ into a new router : the issue will remain the same- is this statement correct ?
your help is greatly appreciated.

Some websites will not load in FF. Same websites will load in IE.

Certain websites will not load in FF, but will load in IE. FF starts to try to load the page, but then stops and "Done" appears in the lower left corner of the screen, which displays as a white, blank page.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Perhaps if you post the URLs we could take a look and then make informed suggestions.

Videos on some websites aren't loading but my flash player is updated?

On some webistes like Facebook when I try to load a video it will just show a loading sign and it won't play. It works on Youtube though. I updated my flash player and some websites still aren't working.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Some website will not load

There are several websites that just won't load with my router. I've connected the internet right up to my laptop and it works just fine. We have 2 laptops on the network and it won't work with either of them. I tried to do a ping test using one of the websites that won't load and I keep getting a message that say request timed out. I was able to do a ping test on yahoo.com and it worked right away. I'm not too savvy on networks and routers so I'm hoping that someone here has a simple solution. Especially since some of my favorite websites won't load.

Hmm, Now you've got me wondering whether our problem is the router and not the satellite internet.
Here is one site that used to work for us and has not worked since going over to satellite and a router: www.spamarrest.com (a spam filter service)
See if that one works for you or you get the "unable to load" message.

Some websites will not load.

I have checked around on the internet but could not find an answer. I'm having issues loading two websites, that I used to go to all the time. The websites paintstik.com and thefwoosh.com. When I try loading them, it just gives me the whole page cannot be found bit. It is not my internet, as they will not load no matter where I go. Also, I don't believe it is the browser, as it will not load on Safari, Firefox, or Explorer. Please help. The answers I did find all pertained to PC, and even those didn't seem to help the issue for the person asking.

Then perhaps the problem is your connection. Are you using wireless or dialup? Either one can cause problems. If you're using wireless, try turning that off and connecting via Ethernet directly to your modem.

Some websites are not loading the page correctly, previously before update it was working correctly

after last update, some of the websites not working properly.
i am frustrated
regards Mihir H. Shah (email removed by mod)

First, try to update to Firefox 11, it does have alot of security fixes and other bugs.
Then, if you still are having other issues, read [[Websites look wrong]], does that help?

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Change Settings to the right of Proxies. That will prompt the System Preferences > Network > Proxies pane.
If any of the boxes on the left are selected, deselect then click OK.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Some websites do not load or improperly load now. Seems to have happened arbitrarily one day. Doesn't happen on my I phone., nor with IE.

This has happened to only two sites that I can document. I will get a normal web page (sometimes) on the one (www.wahalla.se/) and sign in. Then the site is a white screen with links (blue, underlined) to the various sub-forums. I get a message that I have to sign in (again), and nothing happens when I do. Site works with IE and my cell phone (I phone 3GS). The other site had been hacked by Anonymous earlier in the year. I get a 404 on that site; again, it is accessible in IE and on my I phone.
I've done all the troubleshooting suggestions, used cccleaner, spybot, etc. regularly, kept my Avast! current, but no luck. These are the only two sites that I seem to have trouble with. I prefer to use Firefox over IE and my desktop over my cell phone, but I am at a loss. I do have a screenshot, but cannot post it, as it is too long.

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.

Many thanks, solved issue I have had for weeks

Why does my Adobe Reader (10.1.3) freeze-up when I down load statements from some websites?

Why does my Adobe Reader (10.1.3) freeze-up when I down load statements from some websites?
When I down load statements from some websites, the pdf freezes and I get a message that the website is not responding and that windows is checking for a solution for this problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times. I really like the Adobe Reader, but I need answers on why this is happening and how to fix it. AN AUTOMATIC UPDATE FROM 08/23/11 DOESN’T CUT IT!!
