What do I do when i cant play a video and my laptop says i am "missing plugins" when I checked them, I only had one plugin and it was up to date. What do I do?

my computer wont let me play any games or videos and i am not exactly "tech savvy" so if someone who has the time, please try to answer the question with a step-by-step plan.

You run Firefox 21 on Linux on a brand new HP laptop? Because various steps are specific to your operating system, could you verify that?
I do believe you most likely need the Flash Player plugin, which is known internally in Firefox as Shockwave Flash.
You can use Adobe's download site to get the installer. Make sure to uncheck any unwanted extras: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

    I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

    Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
    The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.
    Take your time, study and use the > Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions if you get stuck or aren't sure how to make the move.

  • Cant  play  any  videos  from  you  tube  and  dailymotion

    hello  i  have  upgraded  from  win  to  windows  8 pro  x64.i  have  the  next  problem:i  cant play  any  video  from  you   tube  and  dailymotion  with  IE  10,with   firefox  i  have  not  any  problem.what  can  i do?

    Have you been able to successfully import these videos into iTunes?  If so, use iTunes built in converter to convert it to a more iTunes friendly format. To do this, highligh the video and choose "Create iPhone or iPod version" from the Advanced drop down menu in iTunes.
    When it has finished converting, try syncing the new version to your Nano.

  • Installed 10.5 and when I go to my library list (recently played, purchased, videos and ect.) I won't let right click gives me a restricted symbol? I have to open it a different way. Anyone else having this issue?

    Installed 10.5 and when I go to my libary list to click open the selcted name (recently played, purchased, videos and etc.) I get a "restricted symbol" and it won't open. I have to open in a totally different way now. Anyone else having this problem? Can figure out what happened!!

    1) When I go to the apple.com website my computer will either be really slow or freeze my whole system down to where I have to reboot my computer again. This does not happen all the time but when it does operate it is molasses slow.
    By any chance, are you uswing Kaspersky security software?
    If so, see:

  • I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

    I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

    You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.
    Cheapest and very good image editor?

    Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to  one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
    Thanks again, Sandra2474.

  • Cant play yahoo videos

    This problem has started after a reset of my Firefox browser. After resetting the browser I wasn't able to play ESPN or Yahoo videos. I upload adobe flash player and that fixed the problem for ESPN but I'm still unable to play yahoo videos. Is there something I'm missing?

    Please also make sure that your antivirus is not blocking any content.
    Currently there have been a few updates to Adobe Flash. Please make sure that you are up to date:
    16.0.0.305
    On the yahoo site, is the plugin allowed? Please click on the plugin icon in the url bar.

    Is the slider all the way to the right??
    And no, if your phone is vibrating when you get texts/calls then you're not in Do Not Disturb.   You would see a Crescent Moon symbol to the left of Battery % if it was on.

    Tell use what format the video is that you are trying to play.  Or post the url of the video site for others to test out for you.
    Please do not type in CAPS.  It is very hard to read & is considered shouting in cyber space & not appropiate here.  We can all hear ya! No need to SHOUT!  Thank you.

  • When I load pictures, I only see one page, on the next pages the pictures are grey, how to slove this?

    When I load pictures, I only see one page with pictures. On the next page the pictures are grey. How to slove this?
    Thanks a lot.

    Sorry, I don't think I made myself clear on what I am trying to do.  I am looking for a way to do this process a lot quicker.  Sometimes these agendas could be 100 pages.  Since I can only select text from one page at a time from the PDF after I scan it, this takes up so much time.  What I am looking for is a way to open up the PDF file after scanning and be able to select text from all the pages and cut and paste into word.  For example:
    I scan 20 pages and save to PDF
    I can view all 20 pages - pages 1 to 20
    I want to highlight text starting at the beginning of Page 1 and ending on the last word on page 20?
    Cut and paste everything into word
    Is there a way to do this or should I be using another Adobe product to accomplish?
    Thank you.

  • Any way to export videos and preserve the original creation date?

    I recently shot video using an NEX-5N and AVCHD as the format. Since Aperture cannot playback this format, I converted the videos using Handbrake to mp4 (H.264), and then used A Better Finder to change the creation date of the converted file back to the same date as the original file.
    Importing this converted file into Aperture works great, and the imported file shows the correct metadata of the original creation date, not the date of the conversion.
    But when exporting this file from Aperture, it seems like Aperture does not embed the date as metadata, and thus the only date associated with the exported video is the file-system date attached to the file, which will of course be the date of the export. 
    I assume this problem applies to ANY video imported into Aperture, not just those that have been converted.
    Does anyone have a method for exporting video and having the original creation date remain?  This is obviously a problem when exporting videos one-by-one, but would be a bigger problem if I ever wanted to export my entire video library from Aperture into another program...all the video files would have the same date!
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

    EXIF data and video files is even more of a gray area then EXIF data and stills.
    I don't do much video in Aperture so I'll take your word for it that the data isn;t imbedded into the file. In that case the best I can see is to create a custom export preset and  include the Image Date in the filename. Not great but you at least have the data and you might be able to have a script use the date from the filename and somehow add it back into the file.

  • Flash player plays online video and games extremely slow

    I had my pc reformatted two days ago  but prior to that I never had problems like this. playing streaming videos and games gives me extreme pain! especially watching videos on youtube, the video loads fast but it plays like in slow motion and almost frame by frame, so I waited for the video to load completely but when I played it, it's still the same it was annoyingly slow and the play buttonl sometimes is not responding! I install and reinstall the latest version of flash but nothing happened I used IE8 and Mozilla Firefox 3 but both have problems.... but when playing games and videos saved on my hard disk all is very much fine, it plays fast and no fuzz. I also noticed that  sites that uses flash also have lags and plays animations slow... I need help badly! Im using windows xp, pentium 4, 2.80 ghz, 512ram and nvidia geForce 7300 SE / 7200 GS internet connection is 100.0mbps dsl connection, I still have 30gb free space on c: so I wonder why is it like that!  Please help!
