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 does Safari refuse to play videos when iOS does

Safari 6.01 on my iMac refuses to play videos. It will play Flash.
Is it because of location although they play on iOS.

Many web servers adapt the content they serve to the client that requests it. That's all I can tell you based on the information you've provided.

Why does my iTunes not play Videos with AC3 passthrough?

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my iTunes on my Mac (recent iTunes, recent OS X). As the title says, I can't play videos, that contain AC3 Audio. If I try to play a video with AC3 in iTunes, it just doesn't start playing. When I jump to a later chapter, it just shows one still frame but it doesn't start playing. QuickTime plays every video without any problem. I tried it with (self-encoded) Full HD (1080p) and also SD videos.
QuickTime doesn't have any problem and also my 3rd Gen Apple TV streams the Video without any problem from iTunes... moveis I bought from the iTunes store also work without any problem in iTunes, as they all contain an AAC-Audio track. I didn't recognize that issue before I updated to Mountain Lion... or maybe to the latest version of iTunes.
Does anybody know what possibly is the reason for that and how to solve it? Thank you!

OK, I found another thread here, where my problem has already been solved. It works fine now. For everyone who got stuck on the same problem and finds my thread first, here's the solution, that helped me:
- download A52Codec.component
- move it to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ and replace the existing file
Best regards,
Michael

Why does my ipod dont play video podcasts

My does not play video podcasts as a video it plays the as an audio.

An iPod nano 6th gen isn't compatible with playing video, so it just plays the audio.

Why does Itunes no longer plays Trailers or bought/rent Movies ?

Hi all,
since yesterday, I have the problem that I can't play neither rent movies nor trailers anymore. I get into the player window and I can see all controls, but there is no video or sound playback. With some videos the time counter starts, with some videos it doesn't. I can always open the chapter list and see images of the movie there, but there is no way to see the video itself.
This worked fine until a couple of days ago. The only change I can remember is having updated to iTunes 10.6.1.7. I am not aware of any changes in the meantime.
During the process of debugging this, I have already updated Display Drivers, iTunes, QuickTime, logged out and into the iTunes store and de- and reauthorized my computer. As well as experiemnted with options in the QuickTime player such as Direct3D support. (btw: does anybody know if iTunes is using the QuickTime player at all or is there an internal player that is independent?).
Any ideas?
My system:
Windows Vista 64bit, all updates installed
NVidia Graphics Adaptor set to 1920*1080 resolution
iTunes 10.6.1.7
Thanks

At least guys, can you answer that one?
-> does anybody know if iTunes is using the QuickTime player at all or is there an internal player that is independent?).
Seems that the "internal" player is totally independent from Quicktime Player installed, cause you can run itunes without have quicktime installed. And changing settings in Quicktimeplayer itself seems not to have effect on itunes player..
is that correct? Any hints on that ?

Why does the Music app play videos too?

Hi,
I have been an iPod, iPhone and iPad user for quite some time, but I have always loaded my music into iTunes and transferred it manually.
Last week I took the plunge and bought my first iTunes album *applause*. I love it! Quality is awesome.
However, the album that I bought, has 5 audio tracks, and 5 video tracks. Now when I playback the album on my iPad or iPhone, it plays both the audio and video tracks. So effectively, I listen to each song twice.
This may be a stupid question but, how do I stop the music app from playing the videos?
Thanks!

i don't have any music in iCloud. I buy all my music through Amazon because it's DRM-free, download it to my PC, then put it on my phone.
i do just ignore the request and use it normally, I was just wondering why it wanted data access in the first place. iTunes radio makes sense. Thanks.

Why does safari freeze on Facebook whenever I scroll to a video? This only happens in Facebook and only when I scroll to a video.

Why does safari freeze on Facebook whenever I scroll to a video? This only happens in Facebook and only when I scroll to a video.

Hello,
Most videos on the internet are played using the Adobe Flash plugin.
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

I hope this helps. Let me know if not.

Why does Safari say "Blocked Plug-in" when I want a video?

Why does Safari say "Blocked Plug-in" when I want a video?

When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.

I can no longer play videos on my Mac mini.

I got a new magic mouse for Christmas. I connected it to my Mac mini Lion. It works great but I can no
longer play videos like from YouTube. I just see a black screen. Even the start triangle does not show up.
This is date coincident with installing the new mouse.
Does anybody have a clue what is going on here?
Thanks in advance.

The Magic Mouse and YouTube videos don't have anything to do with each other. I switch between my Magic Mouse and my track pad all day, and it has no effect on YouTube.
YouTube playback is browser and Flash Player related.
Check your Safari Security preferences to be sure that Plugins are allowed.
Worst case, do a "clean Install" of Flash Player. Instructions (with illustrations) are here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084

Why does border appear around embedded video?

Hello,
I have an embedded YouTube video in a page on my site. It was working fine for a while but I've just discovered that there is now a black edge showing on the left, right and bottom of the video? I created a white round cornered frame within Premier so that it's part of the video. I did this as the pgae it's embedded in is white so that when it plays back it appears seamless and with curved edges to match it's container. This worked fine for a week or so but now it has these black edges? Can anybody tell me why? You can see for yourself at www.glovesanddoves.com. Go to the fighters page and you'll see the video at the bottom. The video's width is a multiple of 16 and the ratio is 16:9 at 384px X 216px. The containg Divs are also set to these measurements.
I've attached a screenshot below:
Any help would be much appreciated.
Jack

It only seems to be affecting the page when viewed in Safari although it was working fine for over a week before today?

IPod touch 4th gen no longer plays video on TV

Can anyone tell me exactly why I can no longer play ANY (personal, purchased, downloaded) videos or pictures from my iPod 4th Generation to my TV with the same cables I've been using for several months to do just that? I no longer have the "TV output" option in my "Video" menu either. Is this due to a software "upgrade?"

Try:
- A reset. Nothing will be lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next restore from backup va iTunes
- Then restore to factory defaults/new iPod. For how to restore see:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software

Why does Safari crash in the middle of a movie or show from the internet?

Why does Safari crashes in the middle of a movie or show from the internet?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Why does photo booth stop recording video randomly

Im trying to record short videos using photobooth about 3 mins long. but when i record. more than half the time it will say that it is recording the whole thing
but when i stop the recording, only about fraction of what i wanted will be there.
Ex. i just recorded about 3m 30sec of video...and when i stopped it....only 32 seconds of video was recorded.....
Why is this happening?
