Suddenly I can't stream videos with Safari

Hi everyone,
Something weird is happening with Safari. For some reason I don't seem to be able to open videos in Safari, instead it will try to download them.
For example, I go to the Mac Video Tutorials, choose for example the Mac Basics section, and when I click on the Click To Play button, instead of playing it, it sends some small QuickTime file to Speed Download... I have tried to disable Speed Download in Safari, but it just keeps doing the same thing!
Anyone has any idea what might be the cause of this, and how to fix it?
Thanks a lot.

Well, I guess it was my fault! In Speed Download's preferences, under types of files to be intercepted by its plugin in Safari, I had .mov selected, which was causing this to happen.
I simply turn that off and the problem went away
Problem solved.
Thanks anyway.

My iMac os 10.7.4 Lion purchased 2/12 has jerky videos. I've tried watching you tube and other videos with Safari and Google Chrome and sometimes they don;t jerk but most of the time the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds. Help

my iMac os lion 10.7.4 has jerky videos. I've tried YouTube videos with Safari and Google Chrome and the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds. I can't watch the white house weeklky address because it stops and starts every few seconds. The software is up to date. Just bought this thing in February 2012. Can anyone help me?

Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Might also apply to new machines w/o AppleCare.

Streaming video slow - Safari or broadband at fault?

When I try to watch some streaming video from the BBC or Channel 4 (UK), the streaming is sometimes erratic and long pauses occur, which I assume is a delay in the data arriving with my Mac. I've got a router rather than a modem, which I thought evened out the data flow. Can anyone tell me how I can check if Safari, my broadband, or the web site is at fault?

Can anyone tell me how I can check if Safari
Try another browser for a bit to see if it suffers the same problem:
[Opera|www.opera.com]
[Firefox|www.mozilla.com]
[Camino|www.caminobrowser.org]
If they suffer the same problem, we at least know it's not Safari (but could be the Flash plugin they all use for the streaming video).

How to download streaming video in safari?

What is a good procedure to capture all formats of possible streaming video using Safari. I have used firefox for years with plug- ins, but not Safari. I do not want the procedure to convert the format, but save the streaming in the original format.

Cannot watch live streaming video

I am trying to use Quick Time to watch live streaming video. However, when I click on the link, I get the following sequence:
"Negotiating"
"Waiting for media"...with a countdown
"Switching transports"...this goes on for a long time
"Disconnected"
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quick Time and the problem persists. Any suggestions for this techno-laggard? Thanks!

Here is the link: http://dev.centralsynagogue.org/index.php/worship/multimedia/streaming/
However, the streaming only happens at 6 p.m. on Friday evenings and 10:30 a.m. on Saturday mornings.
Some additional information:
Although I initially get a "Connecting" message (at the appointed hour), it then changes to "Switching Transport" and then to "Disconnected." Alternately, if I try to copy the URL from the website into the Quick Time "Open URL" option on the File menu, I get an error message that says, Error 47, Invalid URL.
Very frustrating...any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Trying to watch a Streaming video, picture and voice shaking and stops on it's own.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Can you watch really any video with a nokia 9300?

I tried rm formats and the only that works is sound, no video at all...Am I doing something wrong?. Can you watch really any video with the Real Media player on Nokia 9300?.
Any help would be really welcome.

You cannot watch just any type of media file with realplayer on the 9300/9300i/9500 communicators, video files have to be converted to the 3gp format, there are a number of converter software packages on the net - may of which are free. Try also Nokia's own multimedia converter, downloadeable from Nokia, cheers.

Recording streaming videos with sound

Can I use quicktime for recording streaming videos with sound? If not which Apple software can do it?
Bye Christof

You can use Quicktime to record streaming video +with it's audio+ by using a very simple trick. Using the same cable you connect your iPod/iPhone to your car's stereo system, connect your Mac's Audio OUT to its MIKE IN jack. I used FILE / OPEN URL to select the video stream source, then selected FILE / NEW SCREEN RECORDING. In the resulting 'Screen Recording' dialog box, I set the AUDIO slider all the way to the right, and under the arrow to the right, selected "Built-in Input Line In" for the microphone. I then used the appropriate controls to play the stream and record it. The resultant file was very acceptable. Good luck.

Stream video with Adobe Flash Media encoder

Looking for a video camera capable of streaming video with
good quality and decent price.
What camara should I buy?

I'm not sure if the Vixia series can be used to provide realtime video to a PC. They're not really designed for this purpose - they are primarily recording devices.

Streaming video requires Safari 4 or 5 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

"Streaming video requires Safari 4 or 5 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard or Safari on iOS 3 or later." it says on the keynote streaming video page. My iMac is not even 2 years old and they cut us out already? I've got Safari 5 and I've got leopard running. I understand that technology evolves but has there been a dramatic change in the way video is compiled for streaming or something?
I do not like this.

This is just a user to user discussion. If you have a two year old Mac, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard for just $29.95. Mind you, that might make other software not work, so read this FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
Not all streaming video sites requires these specs. Any that do are limiting their own accessibility and customers. Read this website:
http://www.anybrowser.org/
It will give you hints as to how to proceed when encountering a website that limits its accessibility.

Can't find any discussions on this. Suddenly cannot stream video in Safari or Chrome on my iPad 2. The error is "The operation could not be completed." Rebooted cable modem and router, no luck. No problem with my PC. Help!

Suddenly I cannot stream video on my iPad 2. I get the error, "The operation cannot be completed." The browser (Safari or Chrome) continues to try to load the video with no result. I have no problem streaming on my WIndows PC (laptop) using the same WiFi router (Netgear dual band) connected to my Comcast/Xfinity cable modem. I have tried renewing my lease, clearing apps out of memory and rebootng the iPad, still no luck. (How do you do a "hard reset", I forgot?) Frustrating since I don't own a TV and am an Al Jazeera addict! Help!

Problem watching Youtube video with Safari 5.1.10

I'm running Safari 5.1.10 under Snow Leopard 10.6.8 but cannot watch anymore videos with Youtube. Does anyone has an idea ?
A message appears on the top of the screen asking to accept cookies. But when clicking on accept nothing happens ... :-( and videos do not appear
I tried with Google Chrome no problem. Last week Safari was working well it just happened ~ 2 days ago.

Hello Carolyn,
Thanks for your support but I already tried those options without success. I reinstalled completely Safari 5.1.10 but problem remains.
In fact it seems that clicking action to authorise cookies is inhibited (no effect) therefore videos as thumbtails do not appear (blank), however if I click on a video tittle then it starts to play normally. Really really weird, I don't if Google did some upgrade with Youtube therefore Safari 5.1.10 is obsolete ...
As an alternative I will use Google Chrome but it's a pitty.
Laurent.

Watching Video with Safari

Safari seems to stall after I've watched a couple videos from the same site (e.g., www.TED.com). Reloading Safari works for a few more viewings. Any suggestions?

Updating the software may help.
Click Safari menu in the menubar and from the dropdown select Empty Cache.
Wait cursor may or may not appear for for few seconds.
Best.
