Videos Will Not Play When Using Safari Browser

G'day,
When I use IE 7 or Fire Fox Browsers the You Tube Videos play fine on my My Space page, they load on Safari, begin to start then freeze. Any help would be appreciated

Try installing the plugin for Adobe Flash from this URL:
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html
if that doesn't work, a new one may be available at adobe.com:

  • Videos will not play when Adobe Flash is installed

    I have always used Adobe Flash, and never had a problem with it.  When I installed the lastest release several months ago, I discovered that videos would not play at all. It's not just You Tube either; it's whatever site I visit. Six months of dealing with that was too much, so I uninstalled it, went online to look for an alternative, and guess what? The videos play just fine at MOST sites.  Others say that I need to install Flash Player.
    This is confusing, especially since I have no idea as to why this is happening. At the moment I do not have Flash installed, but I do need to resolve this. Any help would be appreciated, as far as ideas, recommendations etc. Thank you.

    YouTube is almost finished with the transition to HTML5 (MP4). The reason thay've done this is to be accessible to phone and tablet viewers who can't use Flash. Javascript in their pages determines if a browser has Flash Player, and if it doesn't, the page will display video in HTML5. THAT's why you see what you do there. NOT ALL websites have done this though. Yahoo is working on it, as are Hulu, Dailymotion and others. NetFlix has switched to SilverLight for playback which causes its own problems if you don't have THAT installed.
    Add to this mix, Microsoft released (without any "real world" testing) IE 11 almost two months ago (October 18) and it's been a nightmare to say the least. Pages/Sites don't recognize it because they screwed up some code in it, and... if a page or site can't recognize the browser, it certainly won't recognize any plug-ins it uses. Not a problem for HTML5 video which doesn't require the Player, but Facebook games, Pogo, and many other Flash sites DO require a browser and plug-in that the code recognizes.
    Is IE11 your browser by chance?

  • PDF's in Acrobat Reader X will not open when using the browser, Internet explorer opertes all ok? Mozella 4 is the default browser! Windows XP Home ed with all latest updates!

    When using the Mozella Firefox 4 browser and the NEW version Adobe Reader X, PDF's online will not ever open. After 1-3 minuites, I eventually get a message the Adobe reader is running, but need to close and try again! I get same results when trying again.
    Internet Explorer operates and opens the online PDF's all ok and the Adobe Reader X seems to operate all else ok!
    I think, but not sure, that this issue appeared when the Adobe Reader updated from the older version 9 or so to the NEW Adobe Reader X version about 1 or 2 weeks ago, but not sure. I just remember that Mozella always worked ok previously to the Adobe Reader X version for opening online PDF's last month, etc.
    Note that I said that Internet Explorer browser operates ok Using the New automatically upgraded Adobe Reader X for viewing PDF"S! (adobe notified me that the new version 10 (X) was available for updating, etc) I also just discovered that google chrome browser opens the online PDF's ok!
    I have not trying re-storing the computer to the previous month, etc, since the issue seems to be with Mozella not liking the Adobe Reader X version and Internet Explored browser operating ok!
    Any ideas????

    I had the same problem and my solution was to disable the PDF extension that came with Firefox 4 which belongs to another company. I found out that it wast interfering with ReaderX. I unabled it and restarted Firefox. I have had no problems since then. Go to Tools, Add-On and click on Extensions and disable the PDF extension. I hope this helps

  • U/tube videos open when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox.

    u/tube videos open fine when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox. With Firefox I get the unhighlighted Quicktime symbol with a question mark in the center. WHY?? Any help appreciated --- Toroya

    Hmmmm, strange you view YouTube in Safari & not FF. Which version of FF are you using?
    Try the following:
    Repair permissions & restart.
    Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software
    QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
    Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.

  • SAFARI: NFL Network Videos Will Not Play

    Is there a way to get videos from the NFL Network to play? I don't know what type of video they use, but this site, and a few others that I go to just will not let me use Safari to view the movies. I updated Flash to the newest version, still no luck.
    NFL Videos Link: http://www.nfl.com/videos
    BTW, if I open up Firefox, and go to the same sites, the video plays just fine.

    Those videos play fine for me (just mentioning that to show that they can work!).
    It might be wroth your while deleting flash and reinstalling it.
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Ipod Video 30GB will not play when it is being charged...

    My new ipod will not play when it is being charged..., it keeps saying "Do not disconnect". Is it normal. If so this ***** !!! Or is there a setting I have overlooked !?
    Gosh, I am a techie and I am having so many problems with this crap & iTunes. Why the fcuk can it not just copy Directory structure (which has music files, photos, etc.) as is and not have to create freakin Playlist.
    Finally I found EphPod, but that thing will not do vidoes and photos.
    -cj
    XP 2000 Intel    

    But the iPod says "Do not disconnect" with the charging symbol !
    Have you Restored the iPod?
    if I eject ipod manually from the cradle or by ejecting it using iTunes. But then it stops charging.
    Your USB ports shut off when the iPod is Ejected.
    Here’s how to fix that.
    1. On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    2. Double-click the System icon.
    3. Click the Hardware tab.
    4. Click Device Manager.
    5. Scroll down the list of devices to the Universal Serial Bus controllers
    6. Click the plus icon next to the Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    7. Double-click one of the indented USB Root Hub entries.
    8. Click the Power Management tab.
    9. Deselect the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option.
    10. Click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
    11. Restart the computer.
    Also, about the playlist, if you do not create them, how will you sort or find from 1000's of music files
    You can use playlists but you don’t have to.
    On the iPod they are already sorted by;
    Artist
    Albums
    Songs
    Genre
    Composers
    EPHPod automatically creates a Playlist using the Directory name. Why can't iTunes do the same.
    It doesn’t need to. See above.
    You can create playlists as you want to.

  • ITunes videos will not play

    Ever since I've updated to the newer iTunes version, my videos will not play correctly. Any video I bought on iTunes will not work. Also any video previews or trailers from iTunes will not work. Any other video from online or ones that I've recorded work normally. When I try to play a video, this is what it looks like:
    The picture does not show, but the audio plays perfectly. Quicktime and every other software is updated. I've tried to find the answer on the forums but couldn't find one similar to my problem. Also, I cannot contact any apple support by phone because I'm currently living in China and this or e-mail is the most conveinent.
    Help!
    Thanks,
    K.

    Hi Oicrylic,
    If you are still having video playback issues in iTunes, you may want to try the following user isolation troubleshooting to see if the issue can be localized to either a user or a system level cause.

  • Some videos will not play in FF 4 (and earlier versions)

    Some videos will not play in FF 4 (and earlier versions) particularly on facebook. I have the latest version of shockwave flash. Here's what I've tried and has not worked: disabled ad blocker, turned hardware acceleration on/off, installed WMP plug-in, installed VLC multimedia plug-in, installed quick time plug-in, changed plugin-container.exe compatibility to win98/ME. Samething in Win 7. Thanks.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Some videos will not play (blank screen).

    Some of my videos will not play. I select the video and a "Play" arrow shows in the upper left portion of the screen, but the screen is dark (blank). I can press Menu and return.
    I don't believe it's a size issue because certain other larger videos do play. Nor do I think it's a format issue because all of the videos are the same format (*.m4v). It also doesn't appear to be a time/sync issue because some videos added after others do play and some don't.
    I really don't have a problem reformatting and starting over if that is the best or only solution as I only use iTunes and don't have calendar, notes, etc.
    Thanks in advance.
    iTunes Ver 10.5.1.42
    iPod Classic 30Gb Ver 1.3
    O/S Windows XP SP3

    Where are these from? Are they from the iTunes Store or where they downloaded elsewhere and then added to your library?  Perhaps you can try restoring your iPod to factory settings and then resyncing the videos back over to it.
    If the videos are not from iTunes, perhaps you can try and re-convert them using a third party utility such as Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip.

  • I noticed after switching from IE9 to Firefox that some website videos will not play. How is this corrected?

    I sometimes want to look at how-to videos. Some play and some do not in Firefox. When a message does come up on the screen it says someting like 'sorry, but the video will not play...do you wish to download the plugin?'. Because I am very catious about what I download, I am not confident about downloading a plugin. Does anyone know what I need for Firefox to play all website videos?
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    I am adding this to my original question:
    I see that quick-time is an available plugin...Is this soething that will work?
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    Thank you

    You're welcome. Glad I was able to help you.

  • No Data retrieved with AJAX Call HTMLDB_GET when using Safari Browser

    In my apex (4.0) app i have certain page a which uses JS AJAX htmldb_get to pull some data from an on-demand process using xml structure
    var get = new htmldb_Get(null, $v('pFlowId'),
    'APPLICATION_PROCESS=get_markerdata', $v('pFlowStepId'));
    if (!MEBMarkerdataXML) {// Tabelle mit Kunden leer? Dann aus DB abfragen
    MEBMarkerdataXML = get.get('XML');
    l_Count = MEBMarkerdataXML.getElementsByTagName("Kunde").length;
    I ran into a strange behavior when using Safari Browser (Mac and Windows) when opening the page.
    As long as the process retrieves less than 50 rows everything works fine. The data is pulled from the OnDemand Process and delivered to the browser; the XML Data can be selected in JS for further processing

    When calling for more then 50 rows Safaris shows a POST Error -1001 and no Data is delivered.
    This occurs only on some Mac's and my Dev WIN-XP PC using SF Browser; never on iPad/iPhone . Never when using FF on Mac or PC.
    I googled a lot of different Sources, it seems to be a Timeout Problem when making a long runing AJAX Call. But i did not find any useful hint.
    Any Ideas from the APEX & HTTP Gurus?
    Regards
    Peter

    It's just that in my experience htmldb_Get.get() is troublesome for browsers, due to the fact it performs a synchronous request. The browser can do nothing else while it waits for the response. I've seen Firefox really struggle with it in the past couple years. Also, I've seen no good reason to use synchronous XMLHttpRequest calls. As you can see, it's simple to refactor a call to htmldb_Get.get() into a call to htmldb_Get.GetAsync().
    For your case in particular, I was just guessing Safari have implemented a timeout to ensure that they don't end up waiting indefinitely for a request that never returns as this would be fatal. You're probably hitting that timeout.
    I don't think htmldb_Get is officially documented anywhere, but you can find the source here... http://apex.oracle.com/i/javascript/uncompressed/apex_4_0.js
    There is also a pure jQuery way to perform AJAX request, I recommend using this because at least it's documented. Here's a snippet of a typical APEX AJAX request done the jQuery way:
    apex.jQuery.ajax({
      dataType: "xml", //supports text, xml, json, jsonp, script, or html
      type: "post",
      url: "wwv_flow.show",
      traditional: true,
      data: {
        p_request: "APPLICATION_PROCESS=get_markerdata",
        p_flow_id: $("#pFlowId").val(),
        p_flow_step_id: $("#pFlowStepId").val(),
        p_instance: $("#pInstance").val()
      success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
        // Do your thing in here
      error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
        // Handle error in here
    });Then you can refer to great documentation here... http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

  • Certain website's videos will not play, MLB and Jay Leno's garage. Why?

    Not sure when this started to happen - perhaps the last update but now the Baseball website and the Jay Leno's garage website's video will not play. They appear to go to sleep while loading. (The little circle goes round and round but never stops.) Other sites seem to work fine.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == Since the last update??

    Try these steps, taking the next one if a previous one didn't help:
    *[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#Clear_cookies_and_cache clear cookies and cache] (usually helps with site specific issues),
    *test it in [[safe mode]] (usually helps if a recently installed addon is troublesome;
    **start it in normal mode again then,
    **disable all add-ons in tools - addons,
    **then re-enable them by halves to find the culprit),
    *remove and re-add Firefox to your [[firewalls]] trusted lists (helps if you can't access the web after an update).
