Videos will no longer play and add-ons and plug-ins say up to date?

My computer no longer plays videos-- whether on facebook or youtube... facebook videos get a tiny square but never open to play-- youtube screen where video should be is blank... all add-ons and plug-ins say up to date. I have comcast internet. Thank you

Please try two things, please clear the storage for the flash plug in by right clicking where the video should be and clicking "Global settings" and navigate to storage. Clear the stored data and restart Firefox.
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Video will no longer play, cannot add video content either.

Since this afternoon, iTunes video will no longer play. Not movies, not TV shows. I checked and music and podcasts still play. I thought it might be a conflict between purchased video vs video I added from my DVDs, but no such luck. Purchased content will not play. Nor can I add any new video, whereas I added a new TV show episode this morning.
If I go into the iTunes LIbrary file and select a video and choose "Play with Quicktime" the video plays just fine. But if I select "Play with iTunes" nothing happens. At all. Not even an error code. It's like I didn't select anything. If I try to add content by the keystroke "command O" and choose the file … again, nothing. No error. Just no response at all. When I open that file on my computer, select "Play with Quicktime", then choose "Share with iTunes" inside Quicktime I do finally get an error. "This file cannot be shared (error 206)". I looked up this error code and found this: "The filename or extension is too long." This does not make sense. The file names are fine and the extensions are exactly what I always use to add content to iTunes.
So it's like the entire video portion of iTunes has ceased to function. Any clues?

There are a g-zillion posts sharing your problem... but still no answer from Apple. The odd thing is that it is not affecting all of us.
I share your problem and it's doing my head in... if somebody mentions the 5 bloody R's again...!!!
Before updating to 1.2, ask yourself... how bad do you you really want Tetris????

Since the lastest update, videos will no longer play. They start and stop over and over again.

Since the latest update to Firefox, I can no longer view videos on my PC. They start, play for a few seconds, then stop and repeat this process over and over again.
I have a high speed internet connection and never had this problem until this past Thursday (10-06-11) after Firefox updated.

Then try AirPlay.

I downloaded the ebates shopping toolbar and wish to remove it but it does not appear in my list of add ons or plug ins. I have just now downloaded the newest version of Firefox.

ITunes will no longer play nor add to the library any mp3 files which I have created by conversion from a wav file.

I am running iTunes 10 on XP Pro and it will no longer play those mp3 files which I have created by conversion from wav files. I tried to delete some from the library and then re-add them but iTunes will not add them back to the library.
Can anyone help solve this, please?

Back up your purchased music before you upgrade, I've read at least 5 cases where purchased music has just gone.....missing.
That is not supposed to happen, didn't happen to me or thousnds of other iTunes users, but you don't want to be the 6th person, do you?
There are two things to try before you upgrade:

After upgrading, my MP4 vacation videos will no longer play.???

Just upgraded my old Leopard to Snow Leopard and quickly noticed that it takes 10-20 times longer to load some web pages, if they load at all. Also, I've had to switch to using Firefox to pay one of my credit card bills for this reason. And now I have noticed that the MP4 videos from my great vacation (stored in I-Photo) will no longer play. ???? Any idea what I can do? Thanks.

Use Software Update or the OS 10.6.8 combo update to update your OS. Also, update everything SU has to offer for your computer. When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.

Certain websites don't play - add-ons or plug-ins interfere

I've been having strange problems for a couple of weeks. In general, my computer works okay, but certain websites don't manage to play videos or audio while others do. I tried disabling the av firewall to see if that was blocking anything, but it wasn't the cause. Both Flash Player and Java are fully installed, including the Firefox plug-ins and add-ons that are recommended for them, i.e., Shockwave player or Java updates. (Must I keep the old add-ons for Java if they are updated or should I disable them or delete them somehow?) Someone told me it could be my javascript, but that is checked off properly in options.
My CA av program found a "possible" Trojan over a month ago and located it in a particular java file, so I ended up deleting that file and reloading java. When I would go to java.com, it said I was full operational. Then I downloaded a couponprinter and kept getting told that I needed to load java. I reloaded it twice, but kept getting the same message. Yesterday, I woke up to find a message that Firefox recommended disabling a java plug-in because it makes the computer unstable. Only when I finally uninstalled java completely and reinstalled it, did it begin working fully and I no longer get that Firefox message even though the plug-in is installed. Coupons now print fine and my flash player seems to be operating, but one particular websites just doesn't display the audio player (it's a college radio station). I also developed a problem yesterday trying to open up a web pdf which I never had problems with before, but resolved it when I disabled the Adobe Firefox plug-in. Why would Firefox recommend a plug-in if it only hinders the use of websites?
Also, when I first followed Firefox's suggestions, I opened up Firefox in Safe Mode. When I returned to regular Firefox, the colors of the taskbars had changed - they're all pale grey - and I don't know why or how to change them to the warmer version I used to have. The tint did not come as a result of an installed theme or personality, but it's gone.
Anyway, I'm just confused because add-ons and plug-ins are added and then create new problems, when I thought they are supposed to resolve problems. Can you help me figure out how to get the player on the websites to open?

same problem here for the past two days till this morning when I created a new profile and removed ALL addons from the default profile. With the new profile with NO addons, I got to the sites with video that I had problem with and flash player did work.
Now, I only have three addons that have not created the problem; adblock, flashgot, and flashblock.
Create a new profile and check it out.

What is NSAppshell event window and how can I remove it? Have tried disabling all plug-ins and add-ons and it's still there and makes our computer slower than dial up!

Whenever I log off of my computer I get a message "NSAppshell event window," which slows down the performance of Mozilla and anything else we're trying to run on our computer. We're forced to log off and on to reboot and this happens nearly all the time. We have tried disabling all add-ons and plug-ins, to no avail. We are using Mozilla 4.0. Thanks for any help you can provide, as we don't want to go back to using Internet Explorer if we can help it.

I'd like you to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, and tell me if that fixes your problem.

Quick question... does safari have add-ons or plug ins?

I've been Safari and firefox intermittently for the past week or so, and I've definitely noticed that Safari is faster than firefox most of the time, which I really like. And I like how links to some major websites are built across the top below the address bar, too. I also like how it's streamlined and condensed.
However, I like firefox, too... namely because of all the add-ons and plug ins, such as foxytunes, download helper, the toolbars for yahoo and google (those are the four I have because those are the only ones I use).
So, does Safari have plug-ins, or add-ons available, akin to firefox, or the app store (that I've heard about) for the i-phone? Because, if so, (if I could get those four plug-ins, or equivalents) that would be enough to make me do a complete switch.

Hi and welcome to the Apple discussion forum!
Yes Safari do use plugins as well as firefox, i guess that you already got the Flash plugin installed.
But you find some other available plugins at this site as well, that you maybe not have installed yet.

And regarding the Appstore that has really nothing to do with Safari though, the appstore is a
place where you can Buy/Download software for your iPhone. Cheers, J~G

Firefox crashing with no add-ons or plug-ins

Yesterday, I removed all of my add-ons and deleted all of my plug-ins except for Mozilla Default. Firefox ran smoothly all day yesterday after that. Now today, it's beginning crashing again. (RtlpWaitForCriticalSection | RtlEnterCriticalSection) is the signature of the crash. I don't know what's causing this at all. There is nothing left that could be contributing to this as far as I can tell.

Videos will no longer play with firefox but will still play with explorer. I reinstalled flash player. tried resetting nothing seems to help

I have tried everything I know and nothing has worked. Yesterday everything was fine and today I can't get videos to play. I have tried Youtube and various news sites as well as Yahoo news. All I get is a blank screen. I tried it with Internet Explorer and all work. Anyone have any ideas?

There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
- Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
- Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions

Iphone videos will no longer play on mac after upgrade

Hi, I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and since doing so, all the video's that I took with my iphone and moved to my mac (everything that was on my mac already prior to the upgrade), no longer work. I basically lost all videos of the first 6 months of my daughters life following the upgrade and I would like to know how I can get the videos' to work again or if this is lost for good?

Hi, Slumdog13.
Where did these videos come from? Did you download them directly from Nokia Suite or did you sync your mobile device and got these videos from there?
What is the format of the old videos that you are trying to play? Have you also tried to sync/transfer new videos and then play them? If yes, have you encountered the same error message?
Have you also tried transferring these videos from the Nokia Suite to your Desktop and check if you'll be able to play them?
You can also try to update the Nokia Suite to the latest version "Nokia Suite 3.8" or uninstall and then re-install it. Just visit the link provided below:

Videos will no longer play on laptop

i have tried to look at some of my old videos in my Nokia Suite on my Vista laptop today, but none of them will now play.
I get "video cannot be played, the video file may contain an unsupported video format."
They have always played before why not now?
Could it be because I haven't been able to update the suite to 3.8.48.0?
Thanks.
Solved!

Youtube videos will no longer play in Firefox (only) - MAC

I can no longer play videos in YouTube. I am running Firefox 37.0.1 (MAC). This is a new problem, most likely occurring in the last 24 hours. YouTube videos are working in Chrome.
