Videos no longer streaming

Something changed and I don't know what.
For some reason, I suddenly can't watch mp4 videos as they download.
I checked my Options | Applications for MP4 files and the default was changed to Quicktime (but I did not install or update anything from Apple.) I don't remember what my previous plugin was (it was connected to the "MPC Media Player" package), but it definitely wasn't QT or WMP.
QT has a documented problem streaming video within Firefox. Setting WMP as the default player likewise tries to download the entire file before playing. I have tried adjusting the streaming settings of both players, but nothing I do makes a difference.
I have a fast 5Mbps DSL connection. The problem is not my player or connection. It's the plug-in associated with MP4 (others?) files.
How do I fix this? Thx.

Video no longer streaming since update

Apple TV will no longer stream movies from my iTunes Library since the update. The only way I can see new movies is if I physically Sync them over to the Apple TV Hard Drive. This not only seems to invalidate the entire friggin' point of having an Apple TV, but it's especially inconvenient since Apple decided to be inconsiderate jerks and disable the USB port. (And thanks for that, Apple. Can't have me doing anything useful like adding on my own storage, now can we?)
Anyone know how to get movies to Stream again? Thanks.

I don't mean to be snarky here, and I do appreciate the fact that you're at least commenting, which nobody else is bothering to do, but when it comes to Apple, installing the latest Update is NEVER the right answer.
For example, a few years back Apple released a Firmware update that Bricked my entire Mac. Their answer? "Buy a new motherboard".
In this case, I went ahead and updated to 3.0.1. Now I not only can't see my media, but I can no longer log in to the iTunes store. So basically, every update I install makes my ATV that much more useless.

My iTunes Video Library no longer streams to Apple TV

Hello, I have searched all over and cannot seem to find a resolution to my problem so if this has been answered, I apologize. Problem is I can no longer stream any sort of video stored in my iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my Apple TV. It used to work before without any issue. Current iTunes version is 11.3.1 (2) and Apple TV software is 6.2. All my music plays just fine. Whenever I bring up an artist or song on the TV and select it, it plays no problem. With regards to my music videos and home videos, I can see them on the TV (the thumbnail), however when I select it, all I get is the little circle in the middle of the TV that just spins and spins like its loading but nothing ever does. Also, all my home videos, TV shows and music videos in iTunes on my MacBook open and play just fine on The MacBook. So music streams to the Apple TV just fine, cannot get a single video to play from my laptop to my TV thru the Apple TV box. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

Updated to ios5 and can no longer stream videos with apps. Solutions?

I updated my iPhone 4 to ios5 and can no longer stream avi files that I get as mail attachments. I have two video player apps (GoodPlayer and oPlayer) and I can't choose to open the attachments with either of them when I hold down the file name in mail. Before the update, avi files played perfectly well with oplayer and now, nothing... I'm a pretty basic user and just want something that works well. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Are you running the current versions of these apps - you have checked for app updates?
I use OPlayer which works fine with iOS 5. As an FYI, viewing an AVI attachment received via emal is not streaming.
Any problem with a 3rd party app you need to take up with the app developer.

12/13/2014 I suddenly no longer stream videos because of a blocked plug in on my Mac Safari 5.1.10 MacOSX 10.6.8 updated to snow leopard&mountain lion I use adobe flash

12/13/2014 I suddenly no longer stream videos because of a blocked plug in on my Mac Safari 5.1.10 MacOSX 10.6.8
updated to snow leopard& mountain lion I use adobe flash. My preferences allow all plug ins.

If my experience with a similarly aged computer is any indicator, you'll notice an immediately speed hit once you've upgraded to Mavericks. Each OS X update tends to be more memory hungry than the previous and my 2007 iMac wasn't happy with Lion until I upgraded the RAM and at that point Lion performance roughly matched Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion and then Mavericks shaved some speed off again. Mavericks on the 2007 iMac was okay for the most part but switching between applications was slow as was the fileselector.
My 2009 MBP saw similar slowdowns with Lion but I was above to upgrade it to 8GB which made a big difference. (My iMac was limited to 6GB) but I still saw a significant speed hit with Mt Lion when I tried to run multiple memory intensive applications. Seeing how my wife's MacBook Air dealt with Mt Lion with only 4GB I decided to install an SSD in the MBP and wow what a difference. Tried it with the iMac using a FireWire800 enclosure and saw similar improvement.
So to boil it down to one sentence, you are going to see a significant speed hit with only 4GB but if you can afford to upgrade your drive to an SSD you'll be amazed at how well that computer can run.

TS3989 Do videos take longer to upload to photo stream

Videos won't stream (eg youtube) and safari very slow

Hi, I have 2 problems and would really appreciate any help
1 - safari very slow to open pages and has been like this for weeks. I have seen a solution to change to 'opendns' under System preferences > network > advanced tab but I cannot see an option for that. I think this may be my problem as Google always opens quickly. Can anyone elaborate on this solution?
2 - Videos won't stream and just hang with circle (e.g on sites like youtube) which started about 1 week ago. Only thing I have done differently is watching megavideos on unknown site. I have tried the solutions given under other threads (e.g. deleting cache files and uninstalling and reinstalling adobe flash). This seemed to help slightly the first time I tried it but still took approx 60s to stream 1 minute video. Has now reverted back to not streaming.

To set up a test account, open System Preferences > Accounts, click on the padlock icon to unlock it, then click on the "+" sign, name the account "test" and leave the password field blank, since you don't need the account that long; you can delete it later.
Quit System Preferences, log out of the regular user account and into the test account, then try using Safari to load pages and videos to see if the problem continues there.
Other things you can try in your regular user account that may help your problem or solve it are this:
1. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
3. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
4. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari and see if the speed is improved.

ATV no longer streaming

For some reason my aTV is no longer streaming content from iTunes. It used to be that synced content on the aTV would remain in my aTV library until I removed it from iTunes (but marked as watched if already viewed). Now when I watch something that is synced it is immediately removed after viewing. I haven't changed any settings. How can I get streaming back? Thank you!

I sync my content to the aTV but leave iTunes open on the Mac that the aTV is synced to. Content is removed from my aTV immediately after watching but is still available to watch in my Movies, Tv Shows, etc.. through streaming. There is no solid dot next to the show to indicate it has been watched.
This is how it used to be. Now content is no longer showing up to stream. Only content with a solid dot (unwatched) is showing up in the aTV menus. I'd like to know how to stream my video from iTunes. I don't think I have changed anything.
Thank you for the reply.

Seamlessly looping FLVPlayback video no longer seamlessly looping

Hi,
Back in 2009 I created seamless video loops using the FLVPlayback component and 'addEventListener' (as3)—and they worked great! looping round and round seamlessly—equally well in browsers as in flash. The videos were of varying lengths, small (all between 50—500K), and they looped perfectly.
Recently I've gone back to update things and noticed that my video loops are no longer seamlessly looping in any of the web browsers. Now there's a big pause interrupting the seamless flow.
??? why? Has something in the delivery (browsers/flashplayer) changed? All my video loops still run seamlessly when tested in Flash (CS5). I spent a good amount of time investigating various angles but could not find any solution.
Anyhow, here's the actionscript:
stop();
import fl.video.*;
toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rolloverToggle);
toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, rolloutToggle);
toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toggleClick);
toggleButton.buttonState = "off";
      function rolloverToggle(event:MouseEvent):void {
      toggleButton.gotoAndStop(toggleButton.buttonState+" over");
      function rolloutToggle(event:MouseEvent) {
      toggleButton.gotoAndStop(toggleButton.buttonState);
      function toggleClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
          if (toggleButton.buttonState == "on") {
              toggleButton.buttonState = "off";
         vid_16_monty.pause();
          }else {
              toggleButton.buttonState = "on";
         vid_16_monty.play();
      vid_16_monty.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, rewind);
      function rewind(event:VideoEvent) {
         vid_16_monty.play();
          toggleButton.gotoAndStop(toggleButton.buttonState+" over");
the video that goes with the above script can be viewed here: http://www.designfail.us     cat should be in seamless motion... but it's not.
Also, not sure it would make much difference, but I'd be happy to attach an fla file—Adobe says it's a good idea but nowhere do they tell you how to attach an fla file... very peculiar, especially in these emphatic UI/UX times we live in.

I am wondering too, now that you mentioned it

Video no longer works on iPad. My videos, you tube, Netflix, news casts, nothing works.

Video no longer works on iPad. My videos, you tube, Netflix, news casts, nothing works.

Try this and see if it fixes it for you. Close all apps in the recents tray and then reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of all of the app icons. Tap the home button.
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.

HT4363 I can no longer stream my iTunes into my Apple TV. Help!

I can no longer stream my iTunes into my Apple TV. It has worked before, but Apple TV is not recognizing my iTunes library any longer. It keeps telling me to make sure it's turned on on my computer. It is. And yes, the accounts match, etc. But it no longer recognizes my iTunes library. I can play all the stuff purchased through iTunes fine. I just can stream my main library any longer. Very very frustrated.

Have you tried restarting the router, the Apple TV and iTunes.

Hi, My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC

Hi,
My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC that's missing the photos.
When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos. That option is ghosted. I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0. Any ideas on how I can fix this? All help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Kevinmvb,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this. It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.
