Why can't I play videos on the web?

When I try to watch videos from twitter or download videos from the web, it doesn't work! The screen just stays blank and nothing happens! Please help someone!

Depends entirely on the webpage that's serving them. Some will have an HTML5 or other non-Flash way to supply video to mobile devices. For example, the Youtube app in iOS uses HTML5 to display all Youtube videos.

HT201177 I can't play videos on the web - they just stall - stop and start.

when I am playing videos on the web, Vimeo for example, they play for about one or two seconds and stall. Then they play another one or two seconds and so on for the entire video. I have no means of changing the download size in safari preferences. I am at a loss what to do. i know of no-one else with this difficulty and the Microsoft laptop on the same broadband router dos not have this problem.

Empty the Cache, and you can also try the RE-SET Safari option from the menu-bar.
Let us know if anything changes.

Why can't I play videos on utube anymore?

I have always been able to play videos on tube when reading news etc.For the last few weeks the screen is blank and the search button just goes around and around! Why can't I watch videos anymore?

Hello Abbc2,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
If you are using the Youtube app, I would suggest following the troubleshooting in this article:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
If you are watching Youtube in the Safari app, then I would suggest these troubleshooting steps from our iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/. If you get to step 3, close all the apps that are running and try again. Here is step 1 to get you started:
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
Cheers,
Sterling

Why can't I play videos? what's wrong?

I have windows vista home premium, using internet explorer, downloaded adobe flash player 11 activeX, am not getting any error messages, all tests say it's working properly, but can not play videos. I am not computer smart, and don't know what to do. Please help if you can. Thank you.
One other question: In the programs and features window where you can uninstall programs, why is there 0 kb/mb in the size column when describing AFP?

Hello Pat,
Went to the site you gave.
I ran the auto detect since I use Internet Explorer.
The results said that I have the latest driver verson for my system.
This what I have:
ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics
Driver: ATI Technologies Inc.
Date: 05/08/08
Version: 8.479.1.1000
I do not know what values to select if I was to follow the steps 1 - 4.
I also got an AMD auto dectect window that said:
error graphics hardware - 0x1002-0x9612 unknown
I don't know if that's important or not.
Thanks again for your time and help.
I hope I'm not being a pain in the butt to you.

Why can't I play music from the cloud on my laptop?

So I recently uploaded all my music in the iCloud from my PC Desktop computer in hopes that I could play this music remotely from my laptop. Unfortunatly, it's saying I can't within 40 days when I turn on iMatch. So what's the problem? Do I need to wait 40 days in order to play music in the cloud on other devices? Or is it saying I can never play music from other computers even if I sign in with my own Apple ID?

I know you're saying that, but I can't think of a reason why you would be getting a warning that you couldn't play music within 40 days of turning on iTunes Match unless you changed IDs. This article explains this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.
If you feel you are getting this in error, try contacting iTunes store support and ask them what's going on, by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click iTunes>iTunes Store>Other iTunes Store Topics>The topic is not listed.

Why can´t I pass videos to the timeline?

I was working fine, and suddenly I couldn´t pass my videos to the timeline, when I try to do it there´s a hand and a circle like indicating it is blocked or something. Why is this? How can I put it off?

Hey! Hang on... I was wrong about the Gspot settings being exactly the same. My newly captured video in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (800MB file size) also says "File Length Correct". My video originally captured in Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 (it says 500MB file size, but it's actually 8.9GB) says:
"Corrupt AVI Header:
This is an invalid AVI file due to corruption of the data in the header. This is a serious problem, and this file is not likely to playable (I'm not the one who typed this sentence all screwy and without end punctuation)
Details: While processing chunk /RIFF:AVI, found bad length value 1069461800 at file offset 0x0000fc94"
Just to check if the other camcorder tape that I transferred in had the same problem, I checked my other video file with a supposedly 1,820MB file size, though it's actually 10.2GB, and that file says "File Length Correct".
So it looks like this is not a file corruption issue with upgrading from Adobe Premiere Element 3.0 to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, but possibly a corrupt file. However, it works fine now and I haven't come across any video problem yet.
This also doesn't explain the bass boost problem, but I am going to focus on that now.
Thanks everyone for your input, and thank you Steve about the Gspot tip!

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?

Why Can't I play videos

I watch nfl.com on my pc, but when I click on one of the video highlights, the screen comes up, says video is loading but nothing happens. Just blank screen

Are you saying that you have problems only with certain videos at nfl.com but you can watch other videos? What about Flash videos on other sites, such as YouTube.com?
As a workaround, if certain videos don't load, try turning off hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings (Right-click on any Flash video, click "Settings", select the Display tab and uncheck “Enable hardware acceleration").
Ref:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Performance_or_display_issues_with_certain_Flash_videos
Another possible fix is to uncheck the option, "use hardware acceleration where available" in your Firefox 4 "Tools -> Options -> Advanced" settings.
If the above doesn't help, see the other suggestions in the http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash article under "Troubleshooting".

Software for playing videos from the Web

Hi all,
As a regular vistor of all sports websites especially, as well as your funnyvideoclips site etc, I am horrified that my N95 won't play any videos. Why can't the video player used for watching movies I've actually taken be used. Even on BBC's site I cannot view interviews or actual sports footage.
I'd be grateful to know what my options are and in the most basic of terms as I'm not technically proficient - or good at spelling.

Open the Video Center, and go select the optional Internet feeds. More and more are being added from time to time.
Reuters
YouTube mobile http://m.youtube.com (just use this address in your browser)
SonyPictures
FreeBee TV
Google Video (download the ipod or PSP version of the video it should play correctly)
Also use Podcasting application to subscribe to Video Podcasts.
Some websites that stream in RealPlayer mode can be watched with N95. But if they stream Flash (FLV) or WMV then it's a no go.
Hope this helps.
640K Should be enough for everybody

Playing Video on the web in Safari

Is there a way to watch video's on the iTouch in Safari other than YouTube? Such as video on espn.com, yahoo.com, etc...Is it just Quicktime player and the video has to use that particular media player, or can a flash player or another media playe be downloaded on the iTouch for viewing?

The video needs to be in a format the iPod touch can handle. No additional software can be added to it until the iPhone SDK comes out in February 2008. Using a webapp doesn't modify the iPod touch's software configuration.

Why can't I play videoes in DIAdem 9.1?

Hi everybody!
I'm working on a project (as part of my last year of education) where I want to use DIAdem to synchronize video and measured signals (in LabVIEW). But in DIAdem I can't select Video (nor Graphic) as display type in the VIEW-panel. I have DIAdem Clip 2.08 installed and I thougt that ought to do the trick, but do I have to configure DIAdem to use Clip or something like that? Or maybe I need DIAdem 10.0? Tried to search this web-site, but could not find anything related and I don't have time to search forever..
I appreciate all help I can get! Thank you.
Best wishes
Erik

Hello Erik,
Clip 2.08 is an individual application, which can be used to synchronize DIAdem data with video sequences. That is why the clip window will not be embedded into DIAdem 9.1. The Program has to be started with a window of its own.
In DIAdem 10, the Module VIEW includes the CLIP engine. So, with the new Version of DIAdem you do not need to run the CLIP installer. Videos can be displayed and synchronized within DIAdem VIEW.
