Watching online video on a new Intel-MacBook

I am unable to watch online videos on my new MacBook. The windows media player alarm comes up telling me I don't have the right plug-in. I believe that is the Quicktime component add-on. This still doesn't work. How can watch online video (like cnn.com for example) on my Intel MacBook?

The intel flip4mac beta is no longer available so you can't use it.
Therefore install windows media player from http://www.mactopica.com
You could then force safari to open under rosetta and the windows media plugin should work.

  • Watching online video - lagging

    Hello everyone. I have a problem with lagging when watching online videos. I have intel core duo 2.8 and currently updated to 4gig ram, and as before, online video keeps pretty its irritating manner.
    Any advice please?

    I have the same problem (originally posted below).
    What speed is usually required for video?
    I get between 3 & 4 Mb/s on speed tests (DSLreports). I don't have any problem on any of my other computers on my network, so I wouldn't think it would require more.

  • Watching online video's and snow leopard

    i use to watch online videos like smallville and son's of anarchy. but ever since i installed the new snow leopard. i cant watch any tv show online (ie- fx, cw channels). i can still watch youtube. i searched the first 38 forum pages to see if anyone else is having this same problem.

    I seem to have the same issue that Viking is having. This issue is really frustating the **** out of me. I've got two identical iMac's that had the hard drives wiped clean. Installed a fresh copy of SL, did all the Apple updates so I'm at SL 10.6.1. Installed Flip4Mac 2.3.0.14, Perian 1.1.4, QT7 and I still can't get any streaming video/audio (ASX, ASF, WMV, etc) to play through either Safari or Firefox. All it does is show a blank window where the video should be or the asx page just sits there loading.
    I've read through hundreds of posts about this issue and can't find a solution, everything just says to install flip4mac and it should work. I've downloaded WMV, MPG, AVI files to the desktop and they play just fine in VLC player. All the QT trailers on Apple's site play just fine in the browser as well. Flash sites like youtube work just fine too. These are not Realmedia sites. I've tried it with only Flip4Mac installed without anything else and have the same problem. No firewalls are on either. All the Flip plugins seem to be installed correctly in the Safari plugins list.
    Can anyone please give me some suggestions to try? I'm a recent Mac convert from the PC and can't believe that it would be this difficult to get something working that always worked on the PC.
    Thx

  • C2-00: Can't watch online videos

    Why i cant watch online videos in c2-00
    Moderator's note: We have amended the title of this post as this was moved from another thread.

    Hi rafiqs38,
    Welcome to Nokia Forum! 
    May we ask, have you checked your phone if you have the right internet settings that you need for streaming? You can check this by going to Menu > Settings > Configuration > Default Configuration Settings > Select your operator's connection. If you don't have it yet, your can ask your network operator to send it to you directly.

  • I can't watch online videos without them constantly stopping and buffering

    I cannot watch online videos or movies from a website or with a player. The videos and/or movies continually stop and start again and are constantly buffering. I have tried emptying the cache. I can maneuver all over the web without delays so I don't think it's my internet. Our internet is wireless and we have a satellite system.

    Hi and welcome...
    Your Mac came with Flash, QuickTime, and Java pre-installed.
    It depends on which format the videos are that you are trying to view. Often Flip4Mac is required.
    You can access Flip4Mac settings in System Preferences (in your Applications folder) once the software is installed.
    If Flip4Mac doesn't help, post a link to the site where you can't stream video.

  • Since Gamers and those who watch online videos are having trouble with Adobe Flash Player 10, why am I, who does neither, having the beast crash all the time?

    Adobe Flash Player seems to wait until I am near the end of the Yahoo comics section before it crashes, but not always, sometimes it just seems to have a mind of its own and crashes indiscriminately.

    As I am the person having this problem, I am at a loss as to what to say in Reply. I thought I was making progress just by noting that video watchers and gamers were having this problem. Then I thought that it might be worthy of note that it seemed to happen more often when I was reading the yahoo comics section, I happen to like the comics. So, I suppose that my question should be, Am I being discriminated against because I do not watch online videos, play games and happen to enjoy the comics?

  • Safari crashing frequently on new Intel MacBook-

    My wife recently got a new Intel MacBook to replace her old G3 iBook. We used the setup/migration assistant to move her files and settings onto the new computer. Everything has been working beautifully with the exception of Safari.
    Safari is crashing frequently. The crashes seem to be especially trigged by forum/discussion-board pages. I’ve read through these forums and tried all of the following with no success:
    -- Reset Safari
    -- Deleted the Safari preference file.
    -- Run all of the system updates.
    -- Created a new user account and tried Safari from there.
    -- Used Disk Utility to repair permissions.
    -- Deleted the Cookies and Cache files in the User Library directory.
    -- Attempted to run the 10.4.6 Combo update. (The MacBook won’t let us install it, claiming “This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.” )
    -- Used the provided OSX install disks to “upgrade” re-install the system.
    ...and still no luck. I assume that something bad must have been carried over or introduced with the setup/migration process.
    We really, really hope not to have to start everything over from scratch with a complete clean install of OS X. Perhaps someone who understands the crash reports can make some sense out of this and give us some leads on what to try next: (click on links to see several of these crash reports)

    The most frequent cause of Safari crashes in the new
    intel systems has been Plug-ins that are not
    Universal, i.e. not written for the Intel chip. Have
    a look in either your Main or User Library>Internet
    Plug-in folder for the possible culprit(s).
    Thanks for the quick response!
    Actually, we had already tried moving the Internet Plug-Ins plug-in folder to the desktop. (Sorry - I had forgotten to include that in my "things tried" list above.) That didn't seem to fix anything - but we'll try it again. I'll list the items in the plug-in folder in a while.

  • Any difference to watch online video & FaceTime between Wifi & LTE?

    Hi, I'm planning to buy an iPad for my mother soon, she don't have interent at home, I'm thinking that should I:
    1) Buy an iPad Wifi+Cellular and let her to use the SIM card to connect internet; or
    2) Buy an iPad Wifi and apply the broadband service for her
    - May I ask is there any diffenent to watch online video on iPad between wifi connection and cellular connection? Is it able to watch HD quality online video if using SIM card connected to internet? (Because I remember that the video quality is much poor if I use SIM card to connect internet long long time ago)
    - May I also ask if I can use FaceTime with SIM card connection as well?
    Thank you for your help.

    Thank you for your help! Sorry my message may misleaded...
    I'm planning to use Rogers in Ont, Canada, I guess 5GB per month is enough for my mom in the beginning, and LTE is faster than the lower cost broadband service that offer by Rogers, so both idea should work, but I'm still cannot make any decision because of the iOS system on HD video viewing and FaceTime connection:
    1) May I ask is there any diffenent to watch online video on iPad between wifi connection and cellular connection? Is it able to watch HD quality online video if using SIM card connected to internet?
    Because I remember that the video quality is much poor if I use SIM card to connect internet long long time ago, the quality was automatically compressed when watching online video with 3G mode, but it's long time ago, not sure now.
    2) May I also ask if I can use FaceTime with SIM card connection as well (LTE)?

  • Watching online videos

    when i want to watch online videos, sometimes it says to download the plugin to windows media player but it still wont let me view the video online. what do i do?

    I had the same problem. Even after installing flip4mac, I got that message. Yesterday, I noticed that one of the options offered, to the left of "upgrade your player" was "Play video anyway" or something like that. So I hit it and -- the video started! Since then, it's gone straight to the video without giving the message first. Hope that helps.

  • New Intel Macbook pro or a PC laptop

    Hello everyone. I currently have a 2003 Powerbook G4 Ti 1.0Ghz. It works greate. Now the problem is that I am in the Army and I use lots of military programs that only run on PC's. I have been using Virtual PC 7 to run some of them, but there are some that require a lot of memory and speedlike Falcon View and Performance planning software for Army helicopters. I am also separated from my family and currently use Skipe to do video conference with them. She has a PC laptop. So no Ichat there.
    The question is, Are the new Intel laptop able to run Xp and Mac os X at the same time . Is that program Bootcamp really good. Can I start the laptop in Mac to use all my applications and games and then restart in PC mode to work with Pc software or talk to my family?
    Do I need an external hardrive to operate in Xp? Or... should (as much as I dont want to) I get a PC laptop.
    Also I currently have a lot of Mac applications, are those going to work with the intel chip or I need to get an intel version. Lots of money there.
    Thanks in advance.
    Gonzo

    hi you can use bootcamp to start your macbook/macbook pro in windows xp/vista or mac os x. Or you can use a program like parallels which can run osx and windows side by side. AFAIK you don;t need an external hard disk to run windows - bootcamp just creates a virtual partition.
    As for the mac ppc applications that you have - some may have intel (universal binary) upgrades or updates. It depends on the programs...some you'll have to pay for others might be free upgrades.
    However, i currently use some old mac ppc software on my intel mac and in general it runs fine. I know that programs like photoshop for example do run slower on intel machines than ppc but it's marginal apparently. Basically non-intel software runs on intel mac's in an emulation called Rosetta which automatically enables tha applications to run.
    http://www.parallels.com/
    Do check with the relevant software co.'s websites about their products and availability of UB (universal binary) version/updates.
    I'd personally recommend a macbook pro. Beautiful machine. runs xp well from what i've seen. runs intel and non-intel mac software well. you can run os x and win xp simultaneously. And by the way, skype exists for mac os x - and it runs great - i talk to my pc friends using it...no problem.
    Hope that helps

  • Watching Online Video Content Causes Massive Heat Rise!

    Hi All,
    I have a MBP Intel C2D 2.2 running Tiger 10.4.11. I tend to use Safari as my web browser but have recently noticed that whenever I watch any form on online video's (youtube etc), the temperature of my MBP goes through the roof easily reaching and exceeding 80ºC at which point I get scared silly and quit watching anything. I had a look at Activity Monitor and the Safari %CPU figure is also approaching 80% with 16 Threads, Real Memory running at 735 MB and Virtual Memory running at about 1.3 GB.
    I have no idea what this means but the scrolling CPU graph at the bottom is nearly full and the CPU idle figure goes from around mid 90% to between 21% and 40%. This is just one example but put here to give you experts who know what it all means an idea.
    Please can someone tell me what is going on and how I can correct it? I am not that techie with computers but am happy to follow step by step directions - I am really afraid my MBP is going to melt or burn up something inside.
    Thank You!

    Thanks for the suggestion. Already using smc fan control here; cannot speak for others.
    It seems the specific problem is: viewing WAV (and AVI) files using Safari 3.2.1 (and possibly earlier versions) ALWAYS causes Safari to grab the cpu and really run it flat out (on my computer Activity Monitor shows Safari at 98 in the CPU column which is way higher than any other app ever uses). This never happens with viewing QT files nor Real Player files.
    So it seems viewing WAV files using Safari does something to disturb normal functioning. Quitting Safari always cools down a hot MBP. Letting the MBP to continue running, once a WAV file has been viewed, causes it to remain running a the rapid rate and the MBP continues to remain very hot. Conclusion: WAV files modify Safari in a deleterious way. This is true even if move to another app without quitting Safari.
    In fact nothing else (Skype, MS Word and Excel, Adobe programs, Filemaker, iPhoto) ever causes any heating problem and the MBP routinely runs at around 106-9 F when in use.
    Sure, I could run the MBP at 165 degrees F, but it seems there is a possible software issue that needs correcting.

  • I cant watch online videos as its all scrambelled. This just started since last two days, I cant watch online videos as its all scrambelled. This just started since last two days

    Since last two days I cant watch any online videos.. I can hear the voice but the picture is all scrambed and it keeps jumping up and down.
    Would appreciate suggestions to fix this.
    Thanks

    Might be the Flash plugin causing this...
    Uninstall the old then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    And empty your browser cache more often.
    When you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Thanks! 

  • Mini-DVI to VGA - online video freezes when dragged from MacBook to LCD TV

    I connected my MacBook to my LCD TV this morning via Mini-DVI to VGA, and am trying to stream online video. The video works fine when the browser is on my MacBook screen, but when I drag it over to the LCD TV, the video freezes. I tried setting the screens to mirrored as well, and the video wouldn't play (on either). I'm not really sure what else to try. Any help would be appreciated!

    Try this...
    With the TV connected, go into Displays Preferences and click on the Arrangement tab. You should see two blue rectangles meant to represent the two screens. One of the rectangles will have a white bar across the top, meant to represent the menu bar. Drag the small white bar from one blue rectangle to the other. This will move the real menu bar to the TV, making it the primary display. Now see if your video will play on the TV.
