Why won't my video clips open?

As of about 2  weeks ago video clips emailed to me won't open, especially Utube clips but also clips on CNN,com,etc. The same urls in the same emails open and run perfectly on my wife's MacBook Air. so it must not be the sender or email but my Mac specifically.  I don't recall blocking anything or changing preferences.  All suggestions are welcomed.  Thanks. (PS, I logged in to Utube which didn't help.)

  • Why won't any video clips load in Firefox from any site? Explorer works fine

    For some reason I can not get any of the videos to open up in any program. Has some setting changed not allowing this? Doesn't matter what type of video or specific site. My Explorer browser works fine. Should I remove Firefox and reinstall it?

    Oh, I see, you do not want the Sitename in the URL?
    Read this :
         The concept of iWeb Sites
    A Site, which is just a folder, is a convenient way to organize your pages based on topic, subject or whatever you choose to keep relevant pages together. I’ve been doing that for the past 17 years, and I find it rather natural.
    But since iWeb is doing it, it seems to confuse & frustrate people. iWeb shouldn’t do it, they say. As if there is a law that demands it.
    To avoid the Sitename in the URL, read my solution. It's very technical but in the end it saves time. And best of all, iWeb is not involved :
         Avoiding the iWeb Sitename in the URL
    An easier, time-wasting, solution is to publish to a folder on your desktop.
    Open that Site folder and move the content of that folder to the root of the webserver with a FTP application.
    (The root of a webserver is where the file or folder, shown immediately to the righthand side of the domainname, is stored.)
    Everytime you make changes to a page, you have to repeat these steps.
    But the result is what you want.
    And here's a re-post with some additional info about using an index.php file to avoid overwriting the index.html file iWeb creates :
        Avoiding the iWeb Sitename in the URL
    Works on all servers. With or without a subdomain I may add. Like this one :
         http://wyodor.byethost8.com/htdocs/index.html
    Not as easy as publishing to a folder, but in the end it saves time. Again.
    See this post that explained the link above :
    Re: iWeb keeps populating a site name at the end of my url.  Causing error.

  • HT3775 Why won't a video clip play all the way through without stopping and loading so many times?

    Any video clip that comes via email will not play all the way through without stopping so many times to load that a short clip takes 10 minutes to watch.  Sometimes, the video simply stops and loads forever and ceases to work at all.
    This happens for Youtube videos also.
    I am using a Snow Leopard Imac.

    This happens for Youtube videos also.
    Uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin then reinstall new.
    Very important to uninstall the old first.
    Uninstall >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Then reinstall new from here >   http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Then restart your Mac.

  • Why won't iPad video open when emailed to Windows desktop?

    Why won't iPad video open when emailed to Windows desktop?

    Hey there Ray_J,
    I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
    Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
    iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
    If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • Why won't my Adobe Bridge open?

    Why won't my Adobe Bridge Open? I keep getting an error message. I first installed the free trial of Illustrator CS 6, but a few days ago joined the creative cloud. I would just uninstall & reinstall Bridge, but its not in the list of apps to install. Since joining the cloud I have also installed photoshop & indesign. Doesn't Adobe have chat support? I used in when first signing up for Cloud. Now I can't find it.
    Thanks!

    Hi Trisher83,
    Bridge gets installed along with other programs (like Illustrator or Photohop) so it might require uninstalling all CS6 products to be able to reinstall it.
    I would uninstall all CS6 products and then reinstall one which includes Bridge from a new user account and test to see if you still get the error.
    These links might be helpful for reaching support

  • Why won't Photoshop Elements 12 open?

    After being away for 3 months, I attempted to open and use PSE 12 and it does not open.  Today I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking that would help, but it doesn't.  It appears as though it's going to open, but the little "streaming" just stops.  Your assistance in resolving this problem is greatly appreciated.

    I am not a technician so I can't go too deep in the analysis... I did all I could imagine to do, I would like that somebody from Adobe would take care of this issue finding solution to the problem.

    >Hoping that you get a break through in your troubleshooting. Do not give up. I kept searching and searching for an answer to my Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor not opening while the Elements Organizer 12 would. I have reams of data from October 2013 to April 2014 troubleshooting of the issue. Everything pointed to an activation issue but I could never target the place to fix until my break through came unexpectedly. And, as I found out, the SLStore Folder and SLCache Folder have "something" to do with activation according to the Adobe person who put forth what turned out to be the solution for me. Based on my encounter with this problem, I would say Windows No, Photoshop Elements activation Yes.

    Why won't my videos play? They start on the device that they are on, then stop and I get an error message...An error occured loading this content. This comes up on all of my computers. I reset the Apple TV to Factory Settings and still get the same message.

  • Why I cannot play video clips from Google news page? It is only a white box without video when video icon is tauched!

    Why I cannot play video clips from Google News page?

    It looks,like the videos on the web page are flash, which will not play on the pad.  That is why the made an app. Go to the store and get the free google news app.  It is laid out a little different, but any videos in it will play.

  • Why won't some pdf-files open on tablet/phone?

    I simply get the error saying: The document cannot be opened because it's not a valid pdf-document.
    However I have no problems opening the file with my laptop, only my phone and tablet (Jellybean 4.2.2) won't open it.
    My friends also have managed to open the file on their tablets (android/windows).
    Have reinstalled and checked updates and tried other programs but none has worked for me.
    I simply have no clue and would appreciate help.

    Hey,
    Seems like the problem was in the web browser I was using, as the file just
    didn't download correctly.
    Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated.

    Hey,
    spent some time discussing this with some friends of mine and found out
    that the document can be opened by downloading it to the computer and
    transferring then to the tablet or phone. The difference is that when
    downloading with tablet/phone I get a .pdf file, which only has some html
    code. So I guess the problem has something to do with the encryption of the
    file. Here are the 2 different files I get as attachments. After all this
    might not have anything to do with adobe, but some other stuff I don't
    really understand.

  • Why won't my video won't import into iMovie. There is a red ERROR message underneath clip.

    I just imported 40 out of 43 clips of HD video from my JVC HD Everio camera into iMovie '11. It's my first time using either equipment for editing. I selected import all but only 40 of the clips successfully imported. 3 of the clips were not able to be imported but I can still play the clips fine from the import window. The clips all have red error messages underneath them. This is an issue that I've seen posted other places online but it doesn't seem to be resolved. It's very frustrating for me, I've been researching online to try to fix this for hours now. The closest I have come to a solution involved deleting extra 3rd party plugins from my quicktime folder however I don't have a folder named "Quicktime" in my Library. So I don't know what to do. Please help!

    The error message appears under video clips already imported into iMovie. Like in this screenshot http://km.support.apple.com/resources/sites/APPLE/content/live/VIDEOS/0/VI57/en_ US/imovie-start-poster.jpg on my mac out of the 6 clips shown per row, only 5 of them have the word "imported" underneath them in white letters and then one of the clips has the word "error" underneath it.
    I don't think it's a corrupted file because yeah I can play the three clips just fine. The page that I read that had that fix in it (deleted plugins) was here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1893021?start=0&tstart=0 The correct answer is near the bottom of the page and was posted by iphonejunky. Maybe the fix would be that simple but like I said, I can't find a folder named quicktime in my library. I don't know if I'm just stupid or what.
    I don't think I have Flip4Mac installed because I never consciously installed it. I use VLC for playing most video. The clips imported are all .mov

  • Why won't movie trailer files open in Quicktime

    Each time I try to open a movie trailer file in my Quick time pro I see a down load window with a small X box at the top left hand of the window.
    Why won't these files open. When I go to the same files in Itune Store I have no difficulty downloading and playing

    I had a similar problem a few weeks ago, but nobody gave me a reply. I don't know if it helps in your case, but I eventually found out it was my firewall blocking the download.
    I could view SD trailers but not the HD ones for some reason.

  • Why won't .vcf files automatically open in Numbers anymore?

    Why won't my .vcf folder from Mail open automatically in Numbers anymore?

    Bob,
    Have you tried opening the VCF files in Numbers 2.3 instead of the new version?  Please review this information:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
    The best way to get contacts into a table in the new version of Numbers is to copy them from the "Contacts" application and paste into Numbers.  In the previous version of Numbers you dragged contacts from Numbers (version 2.3) and dropped them on a sheet in Numbers.
