Videos won't play since 4.5 upgrade???

I upgraded to 4.5 a few weeks ago (curve 8320 with T-Mobile) and any videos that I try to put on my phone now in WMV, AVI, etc format will not play. Either I get a red error box saying the file is incompatible or it acts like it's going to play but it won't play. I've never had to convert WMV before to play on the previous OS for the phone (4.2.2), they always played! So I tried converting them with media manager, some still won't play and the ones that do have a black border around the video where almost 1/4 of the screen is blank with no video (and yes I have "full screen mode" selected).
What is the deal with video and 4.5? What file formats works now? I don't understand why they removed ability to play these formats. Always gotta be a problem with everything these days...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Seems that something is wrong with your device OS.
Backup your sensitive data via BB Desktop Manager.
Try to wipe the memory: Options-> Security Options->General Settings
Open menu and select "Wipe handheld"
Below there are useful links:

ITunes videos won't play after 10.8 upgrade--checkerboard pattern

On my Mac Mini (mid-2009) connected to an LG TV, after upgrading to Mountain Lion, all purchased videos on iTunes play audio but display a gray/white checkerboard pattern instead of a video. The same happens when I try to play the videos in Quicktime.
Someone else posted a similar problem here -- https://discussions.apple.com/message/19104312#19104312 -- but my problem doesn't seem to be the same (a conflict with Edovia's TouchPad app). I do, however, connect to this Mac Mini through Screen Sharing, and perhaps there's a VNC conflict going on. Just to be sure, I turned off another Edovia app, "Screens," on my iPad, but the issue remained.
iTunes will happily play non-iTunes-store videos. Also, I'm able to stream the iTunes Store videos from the Mac Mini to my MacBooks (running Mountain Lion and Lion) and iPad without any problems.
Thinking it was a DRM-related issue, I disassociated all devices and computers from my iTunes Store account and then reconnected them. No joy. I repaired disk permissions. No luck. Lots of restarting.
Has anybody else run into this? Possible solutions? It's driving me batty.

I am having this exact problem, however, it's only video content I download from iTunes. Anything that I've imported into iTunes, from alternate sources, will play just fine.
This seems to be a Quicktime problem as I have found that when you attempt to play iTunes files in Quicktime player, the same grey and white checkerboard pattern appears.
I am using my MacBook and MacMini in the exact same way. I am hoping there is an update to fix this probelm ASAP. This was my media center.

Videos won't play on iPad2 after upgrade to iOS 8.1.3

I have iPad2, 16g storage. Recently upgraded to iOS 8.1.3 and since then no email will play. This includes any videos in my FaceBook news feed, any sent via email or even any long-existing videos in Dropbox. Has anyone had same issues? Can anyone help?
THanks.

Without knowing exactly what happens when you try to play a video, close all apps and reset your iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
IF that fails to help, and it very well could, you should describe what is happening so that more specific suggestions can be offered.

Movies and videos won't play since last update

since the recent update to itunes, my tv shows and movies will not play. as soon as a movie is selected to play, I get this popup with itunes has stopped working-checking for a solution-blahblahblah-closing program. Itunes is exited. have done the quicktime preferences uncheck 3D, have done the safe mode, have done the uninstall and reinstall itunes. nothing works. now, the unchecking 3D will allow the movie to play but at choppy audio and video, not enjoyable at all. i'm using my desktop for this (windows vista64 bit). Apple will allow not phone support for itunes and got the usual "oh, we're not aware of this problem", yet google it and you see it's pretty common. before the recent update (sep 2012), itunes worked fine. help please.

Hi Rick,
Interesting thread on Quark's forums. Mark Douma posts here, too. Very knowledgeable with the how fonts work in direct relation to the OS.
I just opened a bunch of OpenType fonts and launched Quark. No problems. But as Mark noted, you'll see the bug pop up after a restart and then try to open the document that uses the OpenType fonts.
However, I created a simple document using a half dozen different OpenType fonts and saved it to the desktop. Going by Mark's assumption about the cache files, I shut down my Mac and turned it back on. Essentially the same as turning it on the next day. Per his thoughts, I left the font cache files alone, activated the fonts again in Suitcase Fusion and launched Quark 6.52 by double clicking the document I had just created. Quark and the document opened without a hitch.
Per Mark's post at Quark's forums, Quark should have crashed since I'm doing this all under 10.4.10. That tells me that while the font cache files are the problem for those who need to keep clearing the cache files to get OpenType fonts to work each day, it's not due to OS 10.4.6+. Since I'm having no issues (and never have), I would have to believe it's more likely to be a damaged OS that's causing the problems. If the OS is damaged, then the likelihood that it will in turn write damaged cache files is high.
Or, Quark is damaged. It writes its own font cache files in the /Applications/QuarkXPress 6.0/jaws/ttfont/ folder. If you cleared only those cache files out and relaunched Quark, it might work without clearing the system cache files. That would tell you for sure that Quark needs to be reinstalled rather than the OS.

Videos won't play after upgrading to ios7.1

Everything worked fine under ios7.0.4 and previous ios versions but videos won't play on YouTube or Facebook since upgrading to ios7.1. This is true for my ipad 4 and my wife's iPad mini. I have tried resets and reboots but did not help. May try to reinstall 7.0.4 unless someone has other ideas. All help appreciated.

You won't be able to install 7.0.4.
I have no problems playing YouTube videos on my iPad 4 or iPhone 5 using iOS 7.1.

Videos won't play in Safari. Notice says, "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." I have downloaded it, but no change. All videos play OK in firefox, but I like the controls in Safari better and want to stay with it.

Several problems continuous since first installing Firefox. Personal google search settings don't save; remember me options on web sites like Facebook aren't remembered; Youtube and Flixy videos don't play despite removing/reinstalling/upgrading Firefox several times; upgraded the latest flash plugin today, but no difference, symptoms are black play box with youtube and white box with Flixy. Disbale AV and antimalware makes no difference either.

Upgraded to the latest Keynote (5.3 1170) and now videos won't play in presentation mode, only audio

Upgraded Keynote on my home and work computers to the latest version in the AppStore and now videos won't play in presentation mode. In edit mode you can double click and it will play in the editor. This happens on both computers running the latest version of ML (10.8.4).
Any help here? Alread tried a reinstall of ML on one machine with no luck.
Was previously running Keynote 08 (non AppStore version). Tried creating brand new presentations in 09, no luck.

I had the same problem today in front of an audience with 300 people (MacbookPro OSX 10.10, Thunderbolt-VGA adapter, PPT 14.4.6).
Here what I figured out so far:
1. It happens when you have PPT open and connect to beamer afterwards
2. You can resolve it (in my case) by quitting PPT and launching it WHEN connected to beamer
3. Yet, make sure Mac does not go into sleep mode or you get a lock-screen in the waiting time. if you do so, you get back to square 1. quit PPT again 2. restart it.
4. Also.... in one case I had to hit the volume control once to get the sound back even though movie was playing
So in short: Connect to beamer first, then launch PPT
I know it is only a symptom fix but it worked for me

After upgrading to 8.1.1 videos won't play

After upgrading from iOS 8.1 to 8.1.1 videos won't play in camera app.
When clicking on photos/videos icon in lower left the app freezes.

Hi, just tried something that solved the problem ...

Sometimes my videos won't play, unless I reboot

Often, when I just put my Mac to sleep, when I wake it up, videos won't play. I have reinstalled Flash, but it still happens. Any ideas? Seems only to happen since the last upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion (11D50b)(Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3 4GB 1333 MHz Ram)

Wimp.com, youtube, bliptv. I don't think anything works. To be specific, they play for about 2 secs, continue to load, but stop playing.

I've updated to Mountain Lion and now my videos won't play. OSX 10.8.4 iMac 20" 2 GHz 4 GB SDRAM

Since you haven't answered any question yet, I'll add another to the list.
What version of OS X were you running prior to the upgrade?

After automatically updated to Firefox 3.6.15 videos won't play properly

Recently when firefox was automatically updated to 3.6.15 suddenly videos won't play properly anymore. Vidxden videos used to play really well but now they don't load properly or not at all. All the other videos take forever to load and don't seem to be compatible anymore. I usually go to the same video sites and those don't work like they used to. I've noticed as well that hotmail is really slow and many pages won't load at all including windows live web site. It doesn't appear that 3.6.15 is very compatible with video play or msn sites.

Since automatic update to 3.6.15, I am unable to play videos on abc.com, and even on my News Feed page in Facebook. The error message says the video is being blocked by an ad blocker in my browser. I have not changed my security settings, nor have I updated any other software recently.
By the way, I did check the same videos (at abc.com and on Facebook) with Internet Explorer (same computer) and they played just fine.

Videos won't play in powerpoint when connected to projector

I've tried to find a solution for my problem online but haven't come across anyone with the same issue. I often work with powerpoint presentations with many videos in it. The videos play just fine on my laptop and also when hooked up to an external monitor, which I use when at work, both in slideshow mode and when previewing my animations. However, when I hook up my mac onto a projector the videos won't play - not on my laptop screen nor on the projected screen. I've tried rearranging the displays by draggin the menu bar to either display and also switched from mirror screens to presenter's view within powerpoint but nothing helped solve the issue. The only solution I found is to play the presentation on my windows partition - which is not really what I'm planning to do for long term...
I'm using Powerpoint 2011 for mac and this problem has occurred using multiple projectors.
Any help on how to solve this issue is highly appreciated!

Videos won't play in any browser

Just recently, videos won't play in any browser...Safari, Firefox. etc. It seems to happen with .wmv files. I reinstalled media player, but still have the problem.
I get this message.
"Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again"

First, check that Windows Media Player is set as the correct plug in - in Safari, go to help/installed plug ins. There should be a section marked 'Windows Media Player' showing 'application/x-mplayer2' and listing wmv files (amongst others).
Sometimes these arrors are caused by DNS failures. Ensure your system is fully up to date, and enter your ISP's DNS server IP addresses (usually two of them, sometimes three) in the 'DNS servers' box on the TCP page of the Network preference pane.
The DNS server IPs are usually supplied with the ISP's initial set up documentation, or located on the ISP's help page.
The reason it could be a problem is that in many iterations of MacOS X, the system is extremely sensitive to how quickly a DNS search responds. DNS is the process whereby a user-provided URL is converted into the correct IP address for internet lookup, so if the video source is held on a different server and the DNS process doesn't return a valid IP address in time, you would then get an error of the sort you describe.

MailOnline videos won't play in Firefox unless in safe mode although they're fine in Explorer.

It's for my mum, honest. Firefox 25, java and flash uptodate but the Mail Online videos won't play unless I start Firefox in safemode. A large white rectangle appears but nothing else.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)
