I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos. The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.

I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos. The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time. Also, sometimes my animations (applications opening, windows being dragged, etc.) will glitch as well. Again, this is not a continual thing; it just happens variously throughout my day. MBP Model A1212, OS X 10.6.8, 2.33 Ghz 3GB RAM.

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

Hi I would like to know why I can not tilt the screen to watch videos on the music video

Hi I would like to know why I can not tilt the screen to watch videos on the music video. since when the bow is put all the albums.

That seems to be either a feature or bug in iOS 7

Can't have more than one application watch videos at the same time

The title isn't entirely accurate. I will write all my observations here.
I believe I started to notice these problems since the (recent) X11 update which seems to have happened in July. The subsequent Mesa updates may be related. These updates also caused X11 to crash sometimes, this issue got resolved after a patch update though, it seems.
Before I share my issues I have a Dell Vostro 1500 with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor (which includes the integrated GPU), using the Linux BFS 3.16.6-2-x86_64 kernel (plan to upgrade tomorrow morning while the internet is quick) and the packages listed in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_Graphics.
The most reproducible version of this problem I've had has to do with Chromium, VLC/MPlayer/MPV and to an extent Firefox.
To reproduce all I have to do is have Chromium open and watch some video on YouTube (HTML5 as I do not have version with Flash included). Then I open a video in VLC/MPlayer/MPV and one of two things can happen:
It can work on VLC, but then if I go back to the HTML5 video when I press play it tells me it has crashed and I should reload the tab.
VLC simply does not work and it plays the audio but no video, sometimes not even the audio.
This is VLC's output in a case where nor the audio or video work (and the HTML5 crashed as well):

I had to close VLC for the HTML5 to work, and if you're curious, yes I am listening to Weird Al as I write this. Most of the time I have to reset X11 (or even reboot) to be able to watch videos or listen to audio with VLC again. I have noticed that sometimes if I haven't watched a video for a long time VLC works again (or at least the audio does, sometimes the video).
OK so that's with video apps. This may be unrelated but I think it's worth mentioning here. With Firefox I run into an issue where Flash gets super glitchy, it gets stuck in one glitchy frame or it flashes between two glitchy frames, sometimes it shows the video in the background with the glitchy frames on top still flashing (so I get glimpses of the video), and other glitches.
Some of the ways I fix it are to reload the tab, open a new Firefox window and open the video there, reset Firefox, close Chromium's video tabs, amongst others. None of these work 100% of the time. Sometimes none of them work.
That is all that I can think of. I've been doing a couple of weeks of tests and normal usage in order to acquire this report so it'd be cool if there's a solution.
Thanks! If there are any questions or further information you need, feel free to ask.

Uninstalled everything PA, also uninstalled mangler which was the only thing that depended on PA. It didn't work anyway.
No pulseaudio --kill command so I couldn't run.
Checked systemd journal and there is no mention of PA this time.
Checked top, and grepped ps aux and there is no PA there either.
I also rebooted the machine completely just to make sure. However VLC and HTML5 have the same incompatibilities.

I see. That's too bad. At least we're not alone.

Wi-Fi cannot watch videos message the operation could not be completed

Cannot watch video using Wi-Fi. Get a message that the operation could not be completed. I reset network, reset router, cleared history, closed apps, hard restart.

Video in an app? Over the net? YouTube? Facebook? In your camera roll? More detail would be helpful.

Recording video on the Pre?

Maybe I'm just missing something, but it appears that the Pre has no way to record video. Even my ancient Razr could do that, although not very well.
If I am correct, and there is no ability to record, does anyone have any idea whether that feature might appear?

I Googled forums about the Palm Pre, and I see that I haven't been missing it..............there is no video recording feature. I am not sure how this feature was missed. The Pre can play movies and videos, but the cannot record/create a videos. This really doesn't make sense.
Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
I can't answer your question as to when (or if) video recording will be available on the Pre. Don't know personally whether it's just a matter of a software/OS upgrade, or if the hardware can even handle it.
BUT...to answer your final comment, it makes perfect sense to me for a device to be able to play movies and video but not be able to record video. I have had many a cell phone that could record video, and I think I can count on one finger the number of times I have ever used it. On the other hand, I have tons of movies, music videos and video clips which I have moved from my desktop computer to my Centro and other Palm devices for amusement of myself and others.
My phones have had the ability to take photos for years, but I have seldom used that feature, because the quality has been so awful. The Palm's image quality, though, is in a whole different league--roughly the same as many point-and-shoot digital cameras. Now that the pictures look halfway decent, I find myself using that feature often.
It would be the same for me with the ability to record video.
I can understand Palm/Sprint's eagerness to get this thing to market when they did, and I recognize the perils of being an early adopter. I am willing to be patient as they get the phone and its software sorted out, but I hope they realize that loyalty on the part of the user base has its limits.

I recently upgraded to 4.o, then reinstalled 3.6.17 (then upgraded to 3.6.18) & have since encountered many problems. Facebook doesn't function properly, and I cannot watch video on the NYT website. Please help!

I cannot make any comments on Facebook & I cannot view video on the NY Times website. On some other websites I cannot scroll through slideshows. This seems to be strictly a Firefox issue: none of these problems occur on Safari or Chrome.
I'm on a Mac OS 10.6.8. Everything worked before this change. To rectify, per instruction, I have cleared history, cookies & cache; updated Adobe flash; started in Safe Mode & tested all extensions; upgraded and tested all plug-ins and add-ons; created and tested new profile. I do NOT want to upgrade to 4.0 or 5.o. I've spent weeks trying to repair this to no avail; (it shouldn't be this hard. I've been a Firefox user since its inception, but Chrome is looking like my only alternative.) Can anyone please help?

In my case it seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore after the FF update. (and yes, my add-ons are enabled - to answer the tech support people's first question).
For me, the coupon printer doesn't even show up in my Firefox "Add-Ons" list anymore. Is that what people typically see when they're saying the coupon printer "doesn't work" with FF? The coupon printer was visible on the add-ons list before my FF update, and now it's totally Gone! It seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore since the FF update.
When I'm on the coupons.com site and I click "print coupons", it tells me I haven't installed the application. But it Is installed on my computer, I can see it in my folders, and it works on IE, so it's definitely there.
BTW - I have uninstalled/reinstalled the coupon printer application. I have tried all the suggestions on the Mozilla help/forum sites, as well as the Coupons.com web site. I have closed and re-started Firefox after the installation. I have also shut down and restarted my pc after installation. I tried installing the application with Firefox open, and tried it again with Firefox closed. I've even cleared out all my cookies/history associated with Coupons.com.
... I can't think of anything else to try, except for the "solution" of using IE for coupons.
If it Really is a problem on the Coupon.com end of things, do you think it's worth it if we bombard the coupons.com support team with messages saying they need to fix the problem? (or just a waste of time?) ;(

I can't watch videos from the net...

i can't open videos from the internet, specifically those from yahoo sports and other sites. sometimes they just will not load, and sometimes i click to open it, and a new folder shows up on my desktop but if i try to open it it says that it cannot be opened because i don't have the right application to do so.

Sounds like you're trying to view RealPlayer files. Since this program isn't preinstalled on Macs, you have to download it from this site. It also gives you instructions on how to install it.

Watching Videos on the internet

Hey everyone,
I've been using this MacBook for quite some time, over a year I'd say.. But after I managed to tinker with the video driver AND have it reinstalled because I failed miserably, I stand at a problem that is quite annoying itself.
You know those flash videos? Like the tutorials here at apple.com? So the thing is that every now and then there is a white flash of the video when it plays. Now this occurs somewhat once every 1-2 seconds, and it is really, really annoying.
My other problem is that if the video (say, an HD video) is not at the edge of the screen (like the top of the video touches the lowest part of the bookmarks tab) than it seems like a bit washed out of colours.. not much, but noticable.
I'm using Firefox 3 by the way. Do you think that switching to another browser would solve my problem? Or is there a driver you'd recommend? (note: I will NOT install anything that tinkers with system stuff if its not made by Apple.)
Thanks in advance

Never hack your system unless your prepared to do an erase install if something goes wrong or have restorable image to install.
You know those flash videos? Like the tutorials here at apple.com?
Videos at apple.com are quicktime movies not flash movies.
Now this occurs somewhat once every 1-2 seconds, and it is really, really annoying.
have you installed any 3rd party plugins for quicktime.

The driver I would recommend you use is the one that came with leopard.
But as you say you have reinstalled that driver and you are getting the same results you may have done more damage to your system than you realise when you tinkered with it.
I would suggest reinstalling your system using the erase install option. If your system still shows anomalies when playing video and any other screen anomalies then run the hardware test that came with your mac to check out the integrated video of the logic board.

Why can I not watch videos on the apple site on my MacBookPro?

Every time I try to view a video on the apple website (tutorials, adverts etc) I get an error message saying:
DivX Plus Web Player
The file you are trying to play failed to finish downloading and can no longer play.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
G.

That shouldn't happen on an Apple video site. Which browser & OS are you using?

How do I watch video on the new iPod Nano?

Just recorded a few videos on my new iPod. I plug it into my Mac, iTunes comes up, but I see nowhere I can actually watch the video's I recorded. Am I missing something here?

The videos are on the ipod. You can navigate to them where they are saved on your iPod, or you can use the method outlined here:

I'm trying watch videos, but the flash program is blocked by Apple.

I'm trying to watch some instructional videos, but they say I need to download "flash". When I try I'm told that Apple blocked this, but can get something to help. I have NO idea what it is talking about Can someone help me?

Who ever told you that Apple has blocked flash is incorrect. Adobe has blocked flash from working on EVERY iOS device. The only thing that Apple should block is all of these lame 'flash' questions cluttering up these forums. You'll never see it snow at the equator, you'll never see pigs fly, and you'll never see any of these people asking this same "flash question" ever using the search function...
OK, maybe you might see the first two happen...
