What is the workaround to play facebook videos on my iPad without Flash?

I get frustrated everytime I take my iPad out with me and people want to see videos I've posted (or others have posted) on facebook.  Of course the warning comes up saying I need to install "Flash."  Well, we know that won't work.  Does anyone know another way to play facebook videos?  If this can't be done - EASILY, I'm afraid the current iPad will also be my last.  This is a showstopper issue. 

What is confusing Meg is the fact that I have a bunch of Architectural Engineers that think they can do everything on a Tablet.
With dozens of them floundering between PC's and Macs all with their own tablet (BYOD). I have to keep everyone with the flow of production. And I have my own projects to complete. It gets where I would like to do away with all PC's when Microsoft releases IE 11 on Windows 7 and then everyone is complaining about "Facebook doesn't play video's".
That I can deal with by locking them down because I have beeen doing PC CADD management for over 30+ years.
Why the "Powers that be" let the nimnod goofballs that really don't get their work done is beyound my comprehension.
It is bad enough dealing with Microsoft because Apple to me is so easy, because it just works. Linix on a few dedicated miniservers and Windows Servers with Exchange is OK because I can assign rights and control that segment of the Architects, Engineers and CADD Personel.
But when I am supporting iPads, iPhones, Android devices, yes it gets confusing and I am fixing to set a policy of if it doesn't work then they are they assigned the lowest piroity as work needs to get done.
Only a few good A/E people that do surveys on-site do I even take care of. The rest are playing on facebook as I have restricted the use of it on our company Network, Intranet and Internet.
Too much for one person to do with over 40 employees that can really be done.
I am responable for the UNIX boxes that run our highend CAD software as well as the renderings, animations & Plotting, 2D & 3D.
We produce all that for the clients to drool over, usually at a meeting out of the house and on a iPad. Those are owned by the company I work for and I never have real issues with them as I check them out and don't let them go home with anyone but a principle of the Firm.
Anyway, thank you for straightning me out and your kind words will not be forgotten.
Peace & God Bless... ~ Kent ~

  • Cannot play Facebook videos on my ipad 3 - My family can on theirs????

    Hi Guys,
    I cannot play Facebook videos on my ipad 3 but my husband and kids can on their ipad 3's while we are all sitting next to each.
    Get a loading message then its says An error occurred while processing your request Reference #50.c5fe3d17.1354202551.5533ac2d
    Your help would be very much appreciated
    Kind regards

    Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • What's the Best App For Watching Videos on iPad Air?

    Okay, so there's no Flash past, present or future for the iPad.  I read some discussions here in the archives from a year and two ago about which workaround works around best (or least badly).  Is there any update now as of December 2013 for what's the best app for viewing videos online on the iPad (Air)?  Thanks.

    I downloaded the new (2013) version of Photon and it's been playing, appropriately enough, episodes of Star Trek: TAS that otherwise require Flash.   The one thing I have to remember is to click the goofy lighting bolt icon toward the top right-hand corner of the Photon screen when I return to warch an episode if I stopped in the middle.  Basically it will turn off the "Flash" emulation when the screen goes dark with inactivity, and then when you reopen Photon it crashes and you have to re-reopen Photon, click on the link to return to the website, and then click the lightning bolt icon.  I don't know why the producers made it that way, as it's pretty inconvenient, but maybe they wanted to make a browser more than a Flash emulator.  I haven't tried other Flash videos yet, but so far, so good.  :-)

  • Cannot play Facebook videos

    Suddenly cannot play Facebook videos on iPhone or iPad that could early evening yesterday. I get a check your connection. It isy wi-fi which has worked well for years. I just updated is 0S8. Since I create videos this is bad very bad for me. What can I do? I am also posting this to wi-fi. This post went to video problems first.

    Greetings SilverBear,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error when attempting to view videos. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Bobby_D

  • Unable to Play facebook video

    Unable to Play facebook video

    All videos on Facebook are h.264 encoded so they don't need flash. Don't spread false information, iPad safari can play Facebook videos since last year. I used to play them without an issue on my iPad but I guess the latest software update screwed that up.
    http://www.intomobile.com/2010/04/27/facebook-enables-ipad-friendly-video-playba ck/
    The link says videos uploaded on Facebook are encoded in iPad friendly format, YouTube videos are already iPad friendly so you should be able to play most videos on Facebook on your iPad safari.

    When I try to play a video on my iPad that I purchased from iTunes, I keep getting a message saying I do not have permission to access the requested resource...why?

    I experinced this when I tried to watch a YouTube video. What I did was restart the iPad and it should work. If it does not work, try doing hard reset, by holding the home and wake/sleep button, ignore the red slider, until the apple logo appears.

    what is the best way to record video games on my mac?

    I'm unclear about what you're asking - could you be a little clearer? I know you say that you want to "record video games" but I'm not sure if you're asking if you could, for instance, create a movie of video games as they're being played or what.
    Regards,

  • What's the best WMV to MOV Video Converter?

    Hi,
    What's the best .WMV to .MOV Video Converter?
    I'm trying to edit imported .WMV files in iMovie HD but iMovie HD doesn't seem to recognize .WMV files.
    Any help would be greately appreciated,
    Thank you.

    Those other posters are steering you in the right direction. Flip4Mac is the best thing for this, and all the paid functions will work in the free downloaded version, there's just some limitations on the length of any one clip, and a watermark on the video, but it will let you see how well it works...well worth the affordable $.

  • What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

    What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

    Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
    Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
    Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

    I have not been able to find the technical limits/specs for the site Blogger or blogspot.com. That is why I made the post here thinking some Adobe users may have experimented already and come up with good export settings for AVI DV video to a format optimized for Blogger.

  • What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?

    What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?
    I know I could opt for the most expensive and probably get what I want that way, but I´m not made of money, so what are your suggestions for minimum criteria and which would you recommend?

    MacBooks Pro are great Macs with a good hardware, so all of them will work for the use you want, but I think that you want the biggest display possible because of your uses. In this case, it has to be a 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro, with the settings you want. Note that, after buying the Mac, you can upgrade the HDD and memory without voiding the warranty, so you are free to install as much memory and the HDD size you want after buying it. It's my opinion, but you are free to do whatever you think it's better

    It is the GPU that is important.  All the CPU's will be fast enough.  If you can affords it, the 15" with the NVIDIA GPU is the best.
