Videos play on iPhone, but not MacBook (page generated by 'Save for Web')

I have QT 10, and I wanted to post a video I made on a personal webpage. I used the 'save for web' option from within QT 10, and it generated the usual ugly HTML page, the MOV file, and the source files that I specified. I edited the HTML to make it look a bit prettier and added the extra content I wanted to have, and uploaded it to my webserver (page is located at http://www.mripatientsafety.com/NERHRM/Resources/NERHRM_TGilk_on_MRI_Safety.html).
The video played when I loaded it on my iPhone, but wouldn't load / display on my MacBook in either Firefox or Safari. I thought it might be something wrong with the MOV wrapper file, so I changed the HTML to skip the MOV and point directly to the MV4 file, but the exact same symptoms persist.
I don't do this often, but I have used the 'Save for Web' feature maybe a half-dozen times before, and I've never had this problem. At this point, I'm thinking that the problem might be:
I'm a dummy and goofed up a section of code and didn't realize it.
There's been updates to Firefox and Safari since the last time I tried this (perhaps a year ago) and they now are unfriendly with the way that QT 10 prepares the HTML.
I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can offer to help make sure that the video displays properly for the greatest number of viewers.
Thank you in advance.

Further update:
I am trying to import the files to my Macbook Pro (10.10.3) via Photos, and it will not allow me to import them.
I receiving the below error message:
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may to contain valid data).
Reason: The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9912.)
The file types are .mp4 and .mov
Any ideas or recommendations?
I have done a Hard reset, soft reset, and tried resetting network settings.
I have done a Manual Backup to computer and did a backup to iCloud- but I have not restored the iPhone yet, as I am not sure if the files are being backed up or not?
I also tried using a third party transfer app (AnyTrans) to transfer the files to my computer hard drive, but it would not allow the transfer and kept skipping the videos which won't play back (even though it recognizes them - but won't play them back).

Web video plays on iPhone but gets error message when sent to Apple TV via AirPlay

I belong to a fee-based subscription video site. Videos play perfectly on my iMac, iPhone 4S, and iPad 1. However, when I try to play them on my Apple TV by sending them via AirPlay from my iPhone or iPad, I get the "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later." message. Videos from all other sites (YouTube, Facebook, other subscription sites) all work fine. I've tried restating, resetting, unplugging the Apple TV, cable router, and Airport Extreme. This problem affects both my Apple TV 2 and Apple TV 3. Any ideas why I'm having this trouble with video from this one site? Is there some kind of video format that works on an iPhone but not an Apple TV? Is the site perhaps purposely preventing AirPlay streaming?

Hairpants: I have the exact same problem with my iPhone, but only on certain Apple TV's. YouTube (via Safari) and TED (app) both play at home fine, but I get the "error occurred loading this content" on the ATV at work. Very frustrating.
Winston: I wouldn't think an app wouldn't "block" AirPlay, but rather wouldn't build support into the app. But I am not an app developer, so I'm just guessing. Example: the new YouTube app only support audio over AirPlay, not video. You don't get an error on your ATV, it just doesn't push the video data.

Just bought an Epson 2540 Printer, connects with iPhone but not Macbook Pro

Music video plays in itunes but not on ipod

hi
like my subject line states, i transferred a whole bunch of music videos off of dvd into mp4 format using videora.
they play in itunes but not on my ipod.
i transferred about 400 or so at the same time to ipod do you think that's why most of them won't play ?
should i do it one by one ?
thanks.

it's more than just the mp4 format. They need to be encoded correctly with the right dimensions and other attributes as well. I don't bother with this sort of thing right now. If there is anyone who has these specs, just post them here. Otherwise, you can always google them or search these boards for the proper format/size/encoding.

I've updated one of my contacts and the entry is corrected on my iMac and my iPhone, but not MacBook. Why not?

I've updated one of my contacts (to correct their email address) and the correction was made on my iMac (where I made the correction) and my iPhone, but not on my MacBook. All three devices are on the "cloud"...

but not on my MacBook. All three devices are on the "cloud"...
On the Macbook switch Contacts off then back on in System Preferences > iCloud then restart the Mac.

"The operation could not be completed" when doing Save for web

Hi
I have just installed Photoshop CS5.1 on my new iMac with Mac OS 10.7 (Lion). Everytime I try to do a 'Save for web' I get this error message "The operation could not be completed". After that Photoshop also hangs. I've tried many solutions offered in forums and the like, but nothing helps. I am getting quite desperate...Anybody?

I found out the following:
When I write in Terminal:
sudo chmod -R u+w ~/Library/Preferences
sudo chmod -R u+rw ~/Library/Application\ Support
The error message disappears, until I do a restart of the computer. Then the error is back.
My suspiscion is that the error came up after moving files from my old computer to my new one.
It happened even before I installed Lion...
So now I'm thinking of doing a complete new install on Lion, not an upgrade and then install Photoshop again. But I am not really looking forward to this :-(

IWeb Videos and Music Play on iPad but not MacBook

Hi,
I have created a website on iWeb and everything plays perfectly on my iWeb. When I launch the site on my MacBook and my husband's MacBook Pro, however, the videos and audio clips do not come up, and they just are blank with a gray "Plug-In Failure" in place of the video. But I can play them just fine on my iPad and iPhone. We are both running Lion--is that the problem? Please help!
Thank you,
Adrienne

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? What version of iWeb and what browser are you using.

Video plays on PC but not my Macbook Pro-comes up as blank disc

Hello, I have a DVD with a video on it that plays fine on a PC but on my Macbook Pro it says that it's a blank DVD and will not play the video that is on the disc. The video plays on Windows Media Player when I open it on a PC, so I installed the newsest version of Flip4Mac thinking this would work, but the disc still shows up as a blank disc and cannot be played. Do I need a different software or is this something that cannot be fixed? I work in the legal field, so I got the DVD from an attorney, and I frequently tend to have problems opening videos on my macbook pro that come from the legal field.
Thanks!

What format is the video? Is it .wmv? Do the DVD's have any type of protection or encryption? This information will help in finding a solution.

Embedded Video Plays on PCs but Not Macs

As the King of Siam declared, "It's a puzzlement."
I'm updating a site and have embedded a .mov from the client's YouTube channel using YouTube's preferred <iframe> code. Here is the URL: http://www.realcosmetics.com/ourStory.html.
The video will play in all of the browsers on my Win7 PC (latest Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, and IE which also emulates IE7 & IE8). It will also play on the PCs of friends I've asked to test. It will not play from the page on any Macs where we've tested. [FYI, the .mov file was edited on a Mac and plays there.]
It will play on the Macs, however, from the YouTube channel. And the guy who is building the Facebook page embedded the same video on a tab using the old YouTube <object><embed> code. The test Macs have no problem playing the video from the FB page.
So, I tried switching to the old <object><embed>. Still doesn't play on the Macs, so I restored the iframe code.
What is totally confusing is that I recently embedded videos from YouTube into another site using YouTube's <iframe> code, and the client can play those on the Macs. Both pages use the same DOCTYPE (XHTML 1.0 Transitional) and code copied from YouTube. The page validates (after I removed the allowfullscreen switch which W3C said wasn't valid under the DOCTYPE).
I've searched online through forums and discussion threads for solutions, and while I found several that seemed to work for one person but not another (having to do with changing Mac preferences, etc.), none of those solutions worked on the test Macs.
Any ideas from you wonderful gurus? The answer may be staring me in the face but can't see it for having stared at it for so long. The only difference between this application and the previous one that I can think of is that the host servers are not the same company.
Thanks for pondering this!
Chris

Adninjastrator,
My advice was on the back of testing in Firebug - it was there I saw the .text div overlapping the Video. The video will become 'active' if I remove the float from #rcsVideo, however there are other floats and positioning that aren't helping anything.
To clarify, I can't get the play button to change when I hover over it (and I can't click it to play it) until I disable the float on #rcsVideo. Bizarre but that's what happens - in both FF and Chrome. No idea why this works in Windows machines without disabling the float. As you can see in the images attached, .text highlights the entire video area. Then, by disabling float:left on #rcsVideo, the text area is not covering the video.
The video itself is direct from youtube and has a flash fallback as well as many other kinds of fallback for all machines. As such, this displays in my iPad.

.mov will play on iPhone but not on computer

Hello,
I have had this problem intermittently but it has me a little confused. Here is what's going on.
i have recorded several .mov files on my iPhone 5 and I can play each and every one of them from the phone without issues. Now, when i plug the phone into my MacBook, a few of the movies will not play with ANY media player. For example, if I try to open the movie with Quicktime or any other player, like VLC, it is not recognized. It is as if the file is damaged.
Why can my phone play the movie but it appears damaged when plug into my Macbook and/or copied to my machine?
Thanks!

Hi E30,
I think you should have updated media players as you are trying to play the clips recorded from iphone 5.
So, you should check your quick time player version & vlc too.
Here is the link where you can check your OS X version & download then install the right version of quick time player:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#quicktime
You can also update your vlc player version if needed:

Hope it would help please let me know if it doesn't.

Video plays in swfiles but not when uploaded to website

Hi, does anyone have any idea why videos embedded in a swf
file play okay in the swf file or when tested as a movie on the CS3
stage, but when uploaded to my website will not play? I am
completely baffled by this.
My website link is at
http://www.marykingmedia.com/marykingmediafive/index.html
On the Bolivia and Chile page the videos do not appear once
the video is uploaded to my website. I have no idea why this should
be when the actual videos play perfectly well within the swf file
itself. I have put the encoded flash videos inside the same folder
as the swf file and uploaded everything, but no joy.
The swf file is 2.97 MB; not sure if that would present any
problem or not once uploaded
My video on another project plays fine at
http://www.marykingmedia.com/marykingmediafour/index.html
Can anyone cast any light on what the problem is with my
South America project?
Thanking you all..

Hi xchanin, thanks for your feedback. I dont quite understand
what you mean by this part here ... but if you do that process a
couple of times (with the same .mov file) you get the same .flv but
the name of your video is incremented by one each time?
Pretty well much I followed this tutorial
http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/tutorials/flash/building-flash-templates/adding- video/
I put a FLVPlayback component on my Flash stage.
I encoded my videos in the CS3 video encoder and followed the
settings given in the above tutorial link. I did not resize or crop
the videos, I set the quality to medium and I gave my videos a name
prior to encoding it.
After encoding the film, I highlighted the FLVPlayback
Component and in the parameters found the content path and then
linked that to my encoded videos one by one. Then I saved my
worked, played it in the movie tester and then I exported my swf
file to my Dreamweaver folder, but I did rename my exported file
(it is not the same name as my Fla file). Could that make a
difference? I also put my Flv videos in the same folder as my swf
file and uploaded them to my server. I put the swf file on my html
page and then uploaded that to my server. My website shows the swf
file but the videos do not appear at all. However, the videos do
appear in the actual swf file when I play that.
I would be grateful to know if you see anything wrong with my
working process here. Could the renaming of the exported file have
caused the problem?
Thanking you.

Video plays on Macs but not on PCs

I have a short movie on our web site. It plays just fine on our iMac, and I checked it out on another Mac at the local Apple store. However, it does not play properly on PCs. The movie window shows up, but the screen stays white. The audio plays just fine, but no video. This sounds like a derivation of the same problem others were having, but ours does fine in Safari but not in Explorer. I've made a new page, and exported the movie to iWeb from iMovie, but it still did not help. This is a new iMac that we just bought 2 months ago. Everything else on the web site works fine. The url is web.mac.com/sullyman5 . Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I lived in the D.C. area for nearly fifty years (twelve of them on the Mayo peninsula). I miss my Chesapeake Bay.
Your iMovie QuickTime file uses the H.264 Video codec (default for exports from it) and it requires the viewing machine, Mac or PC to have QuickTime version 7 installed to view it.

Video plays in iTunes but not Apple TV.

I'm having trouble with playing movies on Apple TV. I had a video that I converted to mpeg4 format. 640x384, 1138kbps total bitrate, 23 frames/sec. I can play it in iTunes and in quicktime but not through Apple TV. It just perpetually loads...
I can play any of my music from the same home shared computer on my Apple TV with no noticeably loading time. The total file size of the movie is 785MB.
Does anyone know why this can't play on Apple TV and if there's something else I need to be doing?

Google and download Handbrake, and convert the video for AppleTV format. Not everything that plays in itunes or QT plays on AppleTV.
There are many variants of MPEG4 and parameters that can make AppleTV fail to play it. Best to convert to the h264 variant which Handbrake will do by default using the AppleTV preset (don't use preset 2 for a silver AppleTV 1).
Vieo specs for AppleTV are listed here:

FaceTime works on iPhone but not macbook..? HEEELP.

Facetime makes/recieves calls as per usual with iphone, but Macbook pro is unsuccessful- says 'connecting' and rings without ever getting through/does not recieve incoming facetime from other devices.

Hello emilia_,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with FaceTime. It sounds like you have isolated the issue to your MacBook Pro.
You may be experiencing this issue due to an expired certificate that can be updated by running the software updates on your MacBook Pro. I recommend reviewing the following article:
Unable to make or receive FaceTime calls after April 16, 2014
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5419
If your software is up to date, I recommend continuing to troubleshoot with the steps in the following article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

Wifi works on iPhone but not MacBook with more bars!

so, sitting in the same spot my MacBook Pro has 4/4 bars but the wifi only works for five seconds at a time (not literally but it feels like it), then I have to disconnect and reconnect. My iPhone has 2/3-3/3 bars and the wifi works great! why is this? Shouldn't the MacBook have better reception as its bigger/has more power? Why does it show more bars than the iPhone but hAbe a worse connection?

Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, restart as usual and post the results.
