Why can I not airplay movies and video to my apple TV.

I have a 4S phone and even mirroring does not work. I can, however, airplay play music from both my phone and computer. Does my apple TV need to be hardwired with ethernet rather than wirelessly connected. My apple tv responds with a caution triangle stating "An error occurred loading this content".

I would try to restart both devices

Irony: Why can't Safari render the Search Forum box on this page correctly?

I've tried loading the Apple Discussions page on several different Macs, and the Search Forum box is never rendered correctly. It looks like there is a search box inside a box, and looks ugly.
It looks more normal on Firefox.

Despite the aesthetics, it has no adverse effect on search results. The forum is supported by Jive software, not Apple.

It may have no adverse effect on the search results, but it gives a poor impression and ultimately reflects badly on Apple and their Safari web browser... especially when other web browsers manage to render the page perfectly well.
That the forum is powered by 3rd-party software is hardly mitigation and, if anything, only reinforces the irony mentioned by the original poster.

Safari doesn't play video

Just unpacked my new iMac, updated software and run the Safari. Safari doesn't play video (tutorials) on apple.com. Still, I can hear audio well.
Please help.

Hi Nels, I had the same problem, and I have discovered the solution, it´s fairly simple:
Go to: Safari / Preferences click on the tab extensions and there you will probably have extensions set to ON, you just have to turn extensions OFF (the alternative plugin (DivX) is causing this video error.
greets!

Why can't I get live streaming video to play

Why can't I get live streaming video to play in Safari?

Sorry, but that is old info. On my 21" iMac, I'm running 10.7.1 and the version of Safari is 5.1. On my 24" iMac, I'm running 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1. I have even tried to get it to run in Firefox and still no results. I've been able to do live streaming previously, but today I'm hitting a road block. Could there be a setting or preference that I do not have set properly?

Why does Safari no longer play video?

When IOS 8 came out & the macbook software was also updated around that same time (Nov/Dec 2014?), Safari no longer plays videos. It continuously claims that I need the most recent version of Adobe Flash installed and even though I do that, & other browsers can play videos without issue, Safari can't play any of them!!! Apple is getting worse than Microsoft nowadays with such issues popping up everywhere & never being resolved.

1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
    Press “Delete All” button under “Browsing Data and Settings”.
2. Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Download it and quit Safari from Safari menu in the menu bar.
    Follow the prompts to install Adobe Flash Player.
3. Allow Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.

Why can't JavaFx media player play .m4a file on windows xp sp3?

Hi All
Why can't JavaFx media player play .m4a file on windows xp sp3? I got an exception that 'Decoder is not available' when I played m4a file on windows xp sp3(it didn't work on vista either), but it works fine on windows 7 , so I guess Javafx media player needs some system dependencies or resources when it plays media files, do you have any suggestions for this ?

To allow playback on Windows XP, you need to install the correct software in addition to JavaFX.
Once the system has been upgraded to meet the minimum requirements for playback of a particular type of video encoding, then playback should work fine.
See the JavaFX Media portion of the JavaFX 2.2 System Requirements:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/system_requirements_2-2/jfxpub-system_requirements_2-2.htm
Note, m4a is just a container file and data streams inside the container format need to match a supported JavaFX format for playback to work:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/media/package-summary.html
Some approaches you could take:
- additionally encode the media in VP6 format and fallback to VP6 playback if H.264 playback fails.
- use a 3rd party player like VLC.
- don't bother supporting Windows XP video playback.
- direct a browser to a divx install page if playback fails (http://www.divx.com/).

Why Can't Safari do what Internet Explorer does in Windows

Why can't Safari developers fix Safari and the mac os to run Sirius Satellite stream the way in which Internet Explorer runs it. I had to download Firefox and run Sirius from it because Safari and Snow Leopard won't run Sirius. If Apple wants to be the operating system of choice then it has to offer what IE offers with Windows.

Hello Arthur:
Is there a question there, or are you just pontificating? Anyone who suggests that IE is superior to Safari should migrate back to the "PC" world.
The problem you pose is a Sirius problem, not a Safari issue.

Why can't I watch QVC product videos on my Macbook pro

HELP why can't I watch QVC product videos on my Macbook pro ? I have the latest version of flash player to no avail ?

You have JavaScript enabled in all the browsers, yes? Have you tried launch the browsers in Safe Mode?

Not aware of a 12-inch Intel MBP. Anyway, could you possibly have an old version of flash player on your computer too. Look in the In the Internet Plug-ins folder to be sure you have only one flash player plugin. Path is HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
Also try searching your hard disk for flash.
Some other things to try are in this thread.

Why can't Safari connect to free wifi when other browsers can?

When trying to use free WIFI in hotels, the connection requires opening browser and then the hotel log in screen pops up for me to log in (room number or sometimes just to say "agree")
Safari does not work!
I set my network connection to Automatic
The WIFI address I want shows up so I can select and the button turns green,next to "Wifi" in Network Preference
But when I then launch Safari, nothing ... I cannot log into the hotel's network
Yet if i launch Chrome or FireFox, immediately the hotel's window pops up and then I am fully on the Internet (and can use Safari
I have no firewall or such , so why can't Safari do what other browsers can?

Why can't Safari be like the others?

Why oh why can't Safari be like Firefox who allows you to organize or view your bookmarks by name or jazz up your toolbar? These are such little things in the grand scheme of browser design. Don't they know that Mac users are colorful and creative and would really really really like a little help getting organized? Why should I be forced to use another browser simply because I want these simple features? Come on Apple, meet the competition - I'm feeling punished for my loyalty!

Hi Again Emlanie.
I'm suspecting that maybe you were hoping for that really cool import bookmarks feature that FF has. I Iike that myself. 'POOF' it's done! But I don't like it enough to use FF as my main browser. Mulder was right... it really depends on what you want out of it. And as I told you before, I like it clean and simple.
BUT, if you want bookmarks in Safari, it's really no big deal. Trust me, I set these up my first week of ever using any computer... so I'm pretty sure you can do it.
My suggestion for setting up Bookmarks would be:
1.) Decide how you want to categorize your bookmark 'headers' in the bookmarks bar. I do mine by subject: Restaurants, Tickets, Banking and so on. This makes it easier when you add a bookmark, and is more conducive to looking for one later, if you have alot of them as I do.
2.) Go to Bookmarks in the Safari menu bar and click on 'Show All Bookmarks'. Proceed to make the folders you'll need with your header titles on them by using the '+ add folder' button at the bottom of the left hand column. Make them all.
3.) Once your done, proceed to drag each folder to the column on the right, starting at the top, and in the order you want them on your Bookmarks Bar. The top will show as the left side of your BM bar and so on to the right. I do mine alphabetically. You may choose to do it by favorites or most frequently visited, whatever. As you drag each folder to the right column in the order you want, it is automatically placed on your BM bar. Now all you have to do is add bookmarks.
I've checked FF and there is no export feature to Safari (only import, nice trick :o) So, you can add your bookmarks by just visiting your sites and then 'add bookmark' then all you have to do is choose which (already waiting) folder to place it in. Really easy. And I've got loads of bookmarks!
So.... if you decide you want to try Safari for a bit and see if you like it, I hope this helps a little.
Good Luck and Have Fun!
MWN :o)

Why can I not use my icloud address as my apple ID?

Why can I not use my icloud address as my apple ID?

This answer is probably the most popular one on the forum. But apparently, this is a view not shared by virtually anyone else in the industry. You can pretty much point to the same risks at stake for Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, or what-have-you. No one else requires you to use a primary account other than their own.
The predicament you mentioned could easily be resolved by requiring multiple contact numbers and addresses, which Apple kind of does already.
My thinking is there's either something more 'sinister' at play, or Apple just haven't really took the time to think about this issue.
