Viewing videos from web pages

Not sure this is the place to talk about this, but knew I could get some help. I'm trying to watch video clips online. Specifically, news clips off of cbs.com or the like, and usually I get an message telling me that I don't have the correct player. I installed windows media player, and that didn't work, then I installed the plugin for quicktime allowing me to watch windows media files, still not working... Any ideas
Thanks much

What kind of Internet connection do you have? What is it's speed?
I don't have any issues with the NY Times video, even from Mexico. The Times video is FlashPlayer. Do you have the latest version installed?

  • Safari-Leopard: Quicktime Videos from Web Pages - GARBLED AUDIO

    OK, so here is the problem:
    1. I am using (the new) Leopard, and all updates have been downloaded and installed successfully.
    2. In Safari, when an (embedded) video is present, the video appears perfect. However, the audio is garbled, and unintelligible. This is true for EVERY video I've tried to view on a webpage.
    3. I've saved a few videos as Quicktimes to my desktop, and opened directly with Quicktime. The same problem occurs, without fail - GARBLED AUDIO
    4. The most recent "test" was a Quicktime using the AAC, H.264 Codec.
    5. It seems as if I have installed all of the appropriate plug-ins, but can't be sure of this.
    So it seems as if this might indeed be a Quicktime problem, and not a Safari problem, but thought I would post here in case others are having similar issues. I will make the same post in the Quicktime forum as well.
    What is the solution?!?!?!??

    Hi Robert
    A number of Quicktime/Safari issues have surfaced with Leopard. Here's one example.
    Have you looked at your Audio settings in your System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced>Mime settings panel? In my panel, everything is selected except for Sound Designer II. Might be helpful to uncheck the Audio setting, select "done", then go back to the panel and select it again. Close the panel and try an audio in Safari again.
    In your response here, please provide a link to your thread in the Quicktime forum. While Apple discourages posting the same issue in multiple forums, I think in this case the issue may be more Quicktime related than specific to Safari. So good to cover both bases.

  • Problem creating a PDF from the "print view" of a web page

    When creating a PDF from the "print view" of a web page, the features in the print dialog box overlap. When the PDF is created, the words are garbled. e.g. words apppear as jzhhhxxf or zxihcj.

    Use a job settings that embeds the fonts. If you look at the PDF, the font properties probably do not look correct and don't include embedded fonts. Also, set the printer to Adobe PDF before you try to do a print, so that the web page can try to properly adjust to the printer.
    Why not just try opening the web site directly in Acrobat?

  • I am no longer able to open or download most PDFs from web pages. I have the pop-up blocker turned off in Preferences.

    In recent months I have found that I am unable to download or open PDF documents from web pages. Download links either open a blank page in a new tab or do nothing. PDFs that I am unable to view in Firefox can be viewed and/or downloaded in Safari most of the time and Chrome all of the time so I assume the problem is not my computer or operating system. I recently turned off the pop-up blocker but that did not make a difference. The problem has worsened over the past couple months, it appears that more and more web sites are moving to a different protocol for viewing/downloading PDFs. It used to happen occasionally but now I find that I am unable to view a majority - about 75% - of PDFs. I am using Firefox v18 for Mac with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    hello ahegarty, you could try using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/pdfjs/ PDF Viewer] addon, for more details also see [[PDF files are blank and can't be downloaded on Mac]].

  • Create PDF From Web Page Does Not Create Image Maps Properly

    I have a website that contains image maps. When I "Create PDF From Web Page", these image maps are not rendered properly. From what I can tell, this is a BUG within Acrobat, and I'm hoping that people can confirm this for me.
    I created a test page at http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/. I placed the images maps my manually coding the coordinate information, so the maps are PRECISELY placed exactly over the squares. Each image map navigates to an anchor corrisponding to the number on the red square.
    When I created the PDF using the "Create PDF From Web Page" feature, the image maps are rendered improperly. This file can be viewed at http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/ImageMapTest.pdf. To view the outlines of the image maps, please select "Tools" -> "Advanced Editing" -> "Link Tool". You can see the outlines are substantially incorrect.
    Please confirm that other can replicate this problem. Any solution to this issue would be very helpful!

    I tested this in Acrobat X and the exact same issue occurs
    http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/ImageMapTest-AcrobatX.pdf
    This has to be considered a legatimate bug, especially since IMAGE MAPS is listes as one of the supported HTML features via the help files

  • View DW html web pages in Bridge?

    My apologies if this is deemed as a “double
    post”, but my question has been on the Bridge Forum for over
    a week with no response. Hopefully someone can assist.
    Am I able to view htm / html web pages from my Dreamweaver
    local site as thumbnail previews in Bridge CS3?
    Initially when I installed the CS3 suite and was just
    glancing through Bridge, I thought I was able to view the thumbnail
    previews of these pages, but now that I am utilizing Bridge more as
    tool, all I see is the IE7 icon for web pages on my local site
    (local hard drive). Image files all show up okay. I may be mistaken
    and was never able to view the web pages as thumbnail previews, but
    a definitive answer would certainly be helpful as I have been
    searching the FAQ section, the knowledge base and the forums
    without finding the proper topic.
    I have tried resetting the preferences and deleting the cache
    in Bridge.
    (CS3 Design Premium; Windows XP SP2; P4 3.0 GHZ; 2GB RAM)
    Thanks.

    Can I install Xcode for Windows?
    Is there any other method to test the application using safari browser of ipad in Windows?
    Pls help us on the same.

  • How download videos from web?

    Hello
    I would like to download videos from web, exactelly from facebook pages, but i'm not able, who can help me?

    If they are flash video then there a many flash video downloaders.  Do a search for "video download" on macupdate.com and you will find manu of them.
    Many are specific to downloading youtube stuff.  Others are more general.  However, one of the most general (and overpriced) flash downloaders is Jaksta.
    If the videos aren't flash, that's more of a problem, and may be specific to the kind of video it is and whether it can be downloaded.  Some sites protect against this being done.

  • Viewing video from email

  • Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow with most recent upgrades of Firefox .Use an iMac and an HP officejet printer. Printer works fine with Safari and woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages.

    Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow since downloading most recent upgrades of Firefox Mozilla. I have a desktop iMac, OS 10.6.8, and an HP officejet printer 4500 G510n. The printer works fine with the Safari Browser and with woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages. Help please! It used to print fast with earlier versions of Firefox.

    Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussions Forum.
    I have hardly any experience with HP printers but since your posting has not been replied to yet I thought I'd offer some assistance.
    With the printer status and ink levels working, it shows that you have a connection to the printer. So I would look at the issue being with the protocol being used for the print queue on the Mac.
    Since you have XP and Vista working, I would check the printer queue configuration on either box. In XP, go to the Properties and select Ports. Click the Configure Port tab to view the connection. If you are using RAW, then this is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket on OS X. So if you are not sure what protocol was used before I would create another printer queue, this time selecting IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket. Then enter your IP address and select the K5400dn from the Print Using menu.
    If this still fails to print then please reply. There may be limitations with adding the HP driver this way that I am not aware of. There may also be other driver options you can look at, such as HPIJS. If Greg Sahli reads this posting he has expert knowledge on this matter and will be able to offer some guidance.

  • Automize Create a PDF From Web Page

    I am trying to create PDF's from a list of 100+ web pages / URLs.
    I would like to automize the process as to save me time.
    (I have been doing some research but I am a newbie when it comes to programing / scripting / coding)
    My questions are
    1) Is it possible to write a script to execute Acrobat's Create PDF from Web Page option in order to automize a long list of URLs?
    Something along the lines of .bat file (reading something like)
    acrobat.exe "http://www.google.com" "%CD%\GoogleTest.pfd"
    acrobat.exe "http://www.yahoo.com" "%CD%\YahooTest.pdf"
    2) If it is possible to script / automize Acrobat's Create PDF from Web Page can you lead me to the right direction as to what programs I need to write a script (if any) and any examples of how the script would be written would be extremely helpful
    Thank you for your time

    You can post your question in the forum for Acrobat Scripting or Acrobat SDK.

  • When I try to print from web page I get "printer not activated - error code 30", printer works on Internet Explorer

    When I try to print from web page I get a dialogue box "Printer not activated - error code 30" followed by a dialogue box "An unknown error occurred while printing". The printer works on websites when I use Internet Explorer. Also, if I copy the web page and paste it into a Word document, I can print a copy. This issue just started this week; I have not encountered this problem prior to this week. Please advise.

    What does that error message say?

  • How to include non web pages to the "Create PDF from Web Page" feature?

    In Acrobat Pro (v. 10), when I use the "Create PDF from Web Page" feature, it works great for html pages, but it skips non-html links (doc, pdf, ppt, xls, etc). I need Acrobat Pro to convert those files and put them in the order as well. I don't see an option for this in settings. Is there ANY way I can do this? This is for an archiving purpose and I have 10,000 plus files to convert. Please help.

    This is a question i'm trying to answer too. My issue is that I have a PDF file which itself contains links to both DOC and PDF files. The end result is that I need one consolidated PDF containing all the linked files (in order).
    I can run the "create from web page" on this PDF file, and it'll download them, but not convert them. It just adds them as "jumbled" text to the end of the document. I need it to download, convert, and then append them.
    So, as isunshine3 asked above, any way to have Adobe convert the files that it finds linked when running the "create from web page"?
    THanks
    Matt

  • Create PDF from Web page using Acrobat X - Page Order

    I have a structured web site that is in fact Program Help The web pages are structured as follows:
    index.html - Main Topic Index page with links to all topic subject index pages
    topic/index.html - Topic Subject Index Page with links to all subject pages
    topic/subject.html - Subject page
    .....etc
    Using Acrobat 5 "Create PDF from Web Page" created a perfect logical PDF  page structure in the page order of of the web site. In Acrobat 5 page 1  was the Main Topic Index Page, page 2 was the 1st Topic Subject Index  Page, page 3 was the 1st Subject Page, then the 2nd subject of the 1st  Topic, etc. until the Topic Subjects were exhausted after which the 2nd  Topic Subject Index Page and so it went on. As a result the bookmark  structure was sensible. The page order was as follows:
    Main Topic Contents
    Topic 1 Contents
    Subject 1 of Topic 1
    Subject 2 of Topic 1
    Topic N Contents
    Subject 1 of Topic N
    Subject 2 of Topic N
    Acrobat X (just purchased) produces a differently structured PDF from the same HTML pages. The order is:
    Main Topic Contents
    Topic 1 Contents
    Topic 2 Contents
    Topic N Contents
    Main Topic Contents (a second time)
    Subject 1 of Topic 1
    Subject 2 of Topic 1
    Subject N of Topic 1
    Subject 1 of Topic 2
    Subject 2 of Topic 2
    Subject N of Topic N
    Question: Is there any way I can get back with Acrobat X the same page order I got with Acrobat 5?
    Any help appreciated. The website is www.caliach.com/caliach/vision/help/index.html
    Chris

    Acrobat is using the underlying mark up of the rendered HTML page.
    This may or may not provide an adequate input to Acrobat when it is noodling out how and what to tag.
    I suspect you may find that, to obtain an adequately tagged PDF, you may have to capture the web page content with the create bookmarks and create tags options off.
    Once you have the PDF make working copies.
    Try letting Acrobat tag this already created PDF to see what happens.
    You may have to manually tag the PDF.
    n.b., The default read order for western language can be altered by user selections in the accesibility setup or by selection in the PDF page(s) Page Properties.
    Be well...
