Viewing video in 64 bit mode

Hi all!
I have a 2008 Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and Safari 4.0.4 installed. When I try to view the likes of BBC iplayer or even video tutorials from the Apple site I get nothing, but when I switch Safari into 32 bit mode the video works fine. All the videos work fine in Firefox 3.5.6. Any suggestions would be most welcome!
Thanks in advance.

Check your Quicktime 7 settings in System Preferences:
Under Streaming, set for Automatic, enable Instant On and Play Immediately.
Under Advanced, click Mime Settings and ensure that Streaming (both kinds) are enabled.
(Note that if you are running Snow Leopard you should be using Quicktime 7 and not version 10, which does not have a preference panel.)

  • Firewire video in 64 bit mode - is this still a problem?

    I've been holding off on upgrading from Logic 8 to 9 for a myriad of reasons, but the biggest head-scratcher for me is that you can't run Firewire video (or Digital Cinema Desktop, for that matter) in 64 bit mode.
    Does anyone know if this issues still exist in 9.1.2/9.1.3?
    Makes it very tough to score to picture when you can't see the picture...

    This ONLY effects the 64-bit mode! And because Mac OS X doesn't offer this in 64-bit QuickTime, this problem still exists. But if you use Logic 9 in 32-bit mode, just like Logic 8, it will work fine.

  • Impossible to view videos in full screen mode

    I realise an animation in Flash thinking it will allow to produce a more powerfull presentation than Powerpoint. It includes some videos of about 1' in .fl4 format that are in a separate file. I published this animation in .swf; and in standalone projectors for Mac and PC .exe and .app. It works well in normal mode, videos are running perfectly. But in Full screen it blocks when it get to a frame with a video, showing a black screen and freezing the animation. It does exactly the same with checking, unchecking "material acceleration" both in the Flash player when running the .exe or .swf or .app file or in the exportation (publication) parameters of the .fla file. I also try to play the .swf file in Chrome or Firefow instead of Flash Player : same problem. It does also the same on the several machines (Windows and Mac) of a museum that is supposed to run the presentation. I used Plash Player 10, then 11 and 12 version : same problem.
    Result : in normal mode the presentation is dirty and it is really ruining more than three weeks of hard work.
    I get through hundreds of Google searches without finding any solution.
    Thank for your help. Before tomorrow if possible...

    Think of Full Screen Mode like a browser that let's you watch a movie. If you stop before it ends, it remembers your place and lets you take up where you left off the next time you come back.
    Move your cursor down toward the bottom middle of the full screen view. You will see a cover flow view, and you can select the project you want to view.

  • Safari in 64-bit mode on Snow Leopard does not play YouTube videos

    Recently Safari stopped playing youtube videos while Safari is in 64-bit mode. The entire page renders correctly; however the area where the video is supposed to play remains a black box without controls. I can watch video from other sites, or I can watch video from youtube if I use another browser like firefox. Additionally, I can go to the youtube video owner's channel and view videos there just fine. It's only when I try to view videos that use the "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" method of displaying a video using Safari in 64-bit mode that it fails to play -- it plays fine with Safari in 32-bit mode.

  • Why do I get an error message in safari 5.1 telling me to restart in 32 bit mode in order to "view the movie" when I first start safari on opening page?

    why do I get an error message when I start safari 5.1 telling me I need to open browser in 32 bit mode in order to "view movie" ? This occurs when I start safari on the opening page (the page with all the boxes for most viewed web sites). This had never occurred with safari up until the latest updates to safari & OSX [Version 5.1 (6534.50)] and OSX 10.6.8.
    also, I'm not trying to view a movie - this occurs for the page previews that load when safari opens.
    thanks.

    The Mac has never needed "Full Screen". It has done multiple screen Extended Desktop since 1987.
    Full screen is an iPhone feature, carried into this verion with the mult-touch gestures and other so-called "unifying" features.

  • Viewing PDFs in Safari in 64-bit mode - how?

    For me, in 64 bit mode, Safari insists on using Preview to view PDFs (and which is slow and clunky).
    If I make Safari downgrade itself to 32 bit mode, it properly calls up Acrobat to view PDFs.
    How can I have Safari running in native 64 bit mode and call up Acrobat to view PDFs on webpages? Or is it not possible?

    If you have Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro installed, the plugin they install to view PDF files in Safari is not 64-bit compatible. Aside from that, unless you have more than 4 GB of RAM installed in your machine, you will not benefit in any way from running Safari or any other application in 64-bit mode, so you should be running everything in 32-bit mode.
    Because Safari is perfectly capable of rendering PDF files on it's own, you need to ditch Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro, or at the very least, deactivate them so they are not called when you want to view a PDF file. To do that:
    Quit Safari if it's running.
    Start Adobe Reader and/or Acrobat Pro.
    Go to Preferences > Internet and uncheck the box at the top where it says "Display PDFs in browser using:", or something similar to that.
    Quit Adobe Reader and/or Acrobat Pro and restart Safari to test it.

  • I was trying to load an online game, and it said "Shockwave Player Error-to view movie, please switch to 32-bit mode." IT WOULDN'T WORK WHEN I TRIED IT! WHAT SHOULD I DO!  PLEASE HELP SOON!

    Update your Flash from Adobe's website.   If that doesn't work, tell the webmaster they aren't using a portable version of Flash that is as compatible with as many browsers as possible.
    Please don't use all uppercase.  In internet etiquette it means you are shouting.

  • Switch to 32 bit mode for certain videos

    It´s very simple: some videos will not work on 64 bit mode, they require 32 bit modes. How do I switch back and forth?
    I have an imac running on X.6

    Is that uploader using the Silverlight plugin?
    If that is the case then that plugin may require Firefox 32 bit mode. On Mac 10.6 Firefox 4 run as a 64 bit application by default and not all plugins support 64 bit mode.
    Control-click the Firefox.app icon, select "Get Info", and then check the box, "Open in 32-bit mode"

  • ITunes - 32 bit mode - with old video, in Yosemite?

    Hi,
    I'm considering upgrading to Mac OS X Yosemite from OS X 10.7.5.  However, I have read online that Yosemite only supports 64 bit mode applications.
    I have a large video library of iTunes content, which I began purchasing about 10 years ago. When I upgraded another Mac I own to 10.8 (from 10.6), I found that I could no longer play some of my iTunes video files. On example is Stargate SG:1.  Upon attempting to play this video and others, an error message would appear reporting that "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
    The solution to this problem (as described here: iTunes for Mac: Older media files may require iTunes to reopen in 32-bit mode - Apple Support) was to check the info box in iTunes to select operation in 32 bit mode.  This solved the issue- I was able to play the old video files.
    Now I'm considering upgrading to Yosemite. However-- if this option is no longer available (running iTunes in 32 bit mode) will I still be able to play the older video files in the update version of iTunes and Yosemite?
    Thanks

    Hello there, macdev3456.
    I definitely commend you for looking into the compatibility of Yosemite with the needs of your content before upgrading. It seem you are already familiar with the article that references the way to address playing content that requires 32-bit mode in iTunes 12 and OS X 10.10. These steps are still relevant in all current versions:
    iTunes for Mac: Older media files may require iTunes to reopen in 32-bit mode - Apple Support
    iTunes 10.4 or later on OS X Lion opens by default in 64-bit mode. However, some older media files in your iTunes library may still rely on QuickTime to play, and QuickTime only runs in 32-bit mode. In order to play media that encounters this issue, you will need to open iTunes in 32-bit mode first:
    In iTunes, choose Quit iTunes from the iTunes menu.
    From the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
    Locate iTunes in the window that opens.
    Click the iTunes icon to select it. Then, choose File > Get Info.
    Enable the option to "Open in 32-bit mode."
    Reopen iTunes.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • PDFs won't download in 64 bit mode

    When I go to a site and click to download a PDF, all I get is a black screen when Safari is in 64 bit mode. If I switch to 32 bit, the PDF opens up just as it always did and I can then save it or print it. What gives?

    Greetings,
    Two things stand out here: you're not downloading a PDF file, even though that's what the subject of your post states. You're trying to view a PDF file in Safari, which is completely different.
    Adobe Reader (and probably Adobe Acrobat Professional, too) are not 64-bit applications, so they will only run in 32-bit mode. Thus, the Adobe PDF Viewer plugin won't work while you're running in 64-bit mode. You don't need either to view PDF files in Safari; it's perfectly capable of displaying them on it's own, so if you've installed it, you need to get rid of it. Unless you're doing some processor-intensive tasks such as editing or rendering high-quality video, there's no reason to be running in 64-bit mode; you're not gaining any performance benefit, and none of your InputManagers or plugins will work.

  • Why do I have to RESTART in 32-bit mode?

    If I want to add an attachment to an e-mail OR view a video - I get a prompt to RESTART in 32-bit mode. I do not have this issue when I go through SAFARI. Very inconvenient.

    On a Mac, Firefox 4 is a 64 bit application.
    Not all plugins support 64 bit and if not then you need to start Firefox in 32 bit mode to use that plugin.
    # Close Firefox
    # Open the Applications folder in Finder
    # Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
    # Select "Get Info"
    # Select or Deselect "Open in 32-bit mode"
    # Close the "Firefox Info" window
    # Restart Firefox

  • Can not view videos on you tube in firefox4 using flash player11

    I'm using firefox 4 and i can not view videos on you tube.I've updated and reinstalled adobe flash player twice with no results.I've also tried the other checks,security blocking,cache,pop ups etc Works fine on IE. Hope someone has a solution.I've always liked firefox but not the newer versions and many of the changes;

    I can't believe you're still running Firefox 4. Why not a newer version?
    There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (12-13). 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
    Does any of that appear promising?

  • After installing Adobe Flash Player Plugin to view videos on youtube, mozilla gets hangs intermittently. Please help

    I installed Firefox 23.0.1 and after that It asked me to install Flash Player Plugin to view videos on Youtbe. I installed Flash Player 11 Plugin and since then Mozilla started hanging/freezing intermittently. It hangs on those websites also where videos are not running.
    I uninstalled Flash Player 11 Plugin and it works smoothly without it.
    Please help

    This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common reasons for Flash problems in Firefox:
    (1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
    (2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    (3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)

  • Cannot Debug SSIS packages in 64 bit mode.

    Hi,
    To anyone who may be able to help.  We are using SQL server 2014 Enterprise addition.  Visual studio 2013, SSDT latest version installed, all 64 bit tools installed.  I have tried to run my packages  with the "Run64bitRuntime"
    set to true ( project properties-->Debugging-->Run64BitRuntime = True).  Initially I thought it an issues with my package (we migrated them from SSIS 2008R2, they run fine with no issues within the 32 bit memory constraints) so I created
    a super simple package with VS 2013 in the SSIS 2014 environment from scratch, a lookup and an OLEDB Data source that's it.  Same problem.  No matter what I do when I debug in SSIS the 32 bit process (DtsDebugHost.exe (32 bit)) fires up,
    even though I have selected debug in 64 bit runtime I cannot get the 64 bit version of DtsDebugHost to run.  This is an issue because I am debugging projects that will utilise more than 4GB of memory for say a particular set of lookups.  Curiously
    when I schedule the projects to run in the  scheduler, it fires up a  64 bit process, and the package executes successfully, however if I can't debug in 64 bit mode and leverage the extra memory at the design stage,
    this is useless.  I have checked obvious things like the path environment variable, thinking perhaps SSIS debug doesn't know where the 64 bit exe is, but it is all fine paths are as they should be.  All 64 bit tools/dll's are installed.  I
    have tested this directly on the server, and on the client machine that I use and the issue is the same. If no one can help me here I guess I can log a support ticket.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi des_77,
    According to your description, you can only debug your SSIS package in 32 bit mode.
    Based on my research, I think the issue is caused by 64bit SSIS runtime is not installed on your machine. We can verify the issue by seeing if DtsDebugHost.exe under <Installation Drive>\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\Binn or not.
    To fix this issue, please install SQL Server and select Integration Services for installation, Setup installs all available 64-bit Integration Services features and tools. Then we can set the Debug Options property Run64BitRuntime to “True”, view the processes
    in Windows Task Manager to verify the version of DTDebugHost.exe when debugging the package.
    Besides, if the issue still existed, it is my pleasure to help you to reflect your recommendation to the proper department for their consideration. Please feel free to submit your situation on our product to the following link
