Why won't u-tube videos play in safari?

Why won't u-tube videos play in safari?
I am using OS X 10.7.3
Safari 5.1.5

There wasn't an answer, just a question.  If you can provide a little detail around what's actually happening, and more about the environment (e.g. what model computer, its configuration, etc) it'll help people provide a solution .

  • Why won't You Tube Videos Load/Play?

    My 10 year old daughter has an ipad mini and has been able to watch You Tube videos with no problem.  Now, all of a sudden, they won't load or if they load, they don't play.  Can anyone tell me why this might happen?  Everything else works fine, it's just this.

  • Why won't YouTube embedded video play from PowerPoint?

    I have followed the normal process to embed video in PowerPoint 2010 (32 bit), and playback worked without issues a couple of months ago.  Now it does not.  I have completed all of the troubleshooting tips, and reinstalled latest FlashPlayer 32-bit, etc.  When I go to play the embedded video in PPT, the following message appears:
    "To play the selected item, you must install a later version of the Adobe Flash Player. To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe website."
    There does not appear to be any settings changed in browser (IE / Chrome), Windows Media Player, or PowerPoint.
    Need a solution.

    I went back to the embedded video code from YouTube, captured it and pasted it into the "insert video from Web site" and then deleted both "version=3" instances in the code:
    <object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/od8cUvPyvsg?hl=en_US&version=3&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/od8cUvPyvsg?hl=en_US&version=3&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
    That seemed to do the trick! 
    Many thanks for that help.  Not sure what caused prior embedded videos to no longer play - that still is baffling, because I hadn't done anything with the code until today.
    Gracias!

  • Why won't my embedded videos play after I reopen powerpoint after saving

    I have just bought a new MacbookAir(Tuesday)
    I do a lot of powerpoint presentations for work and have now compiled one on my Macbook.
    However when I embed the videos into the presentation they are fine while the presentation is ongoing.
    As soon as I shut it or save it, once I reopen it, it does not play the videos at all. The screenshot is there but no videos.
    The videos are MP4 format downloaded from YouTube.
    The same format and videos worked with my old PC
    So just wondered if anyone knows what I am doing wrong?
    Many thanks

    Use the Apple ID support -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/ - click through the contact information and select the iTunes, etc., hot button. You can have Apple call you or email them.

    Hi mikefrompoland,
    For more information about 5.1 Surround Sound in iTunes, you may find the following article helpful (it is primarily aimed at Mac users, but the settings in Windows should be similar):

    Note: For surround sound to work, the content being played must be encoded to support it.

  • You tube videos play about 11 seconds and then reset to the beginning...why?

    You tube videos play about 11 seconds and then reset to the beginning and if i jump ahead in the video, it will play for a few seconds and then reset to the point that I jumped to. This started happening yesterday, 10/7/11. It only happens with you tube videos in the firefox browser. Videos from others sites such as vimeo play normally. You tube videos play normally using internet explorer. This is a windows 7 machine.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

  • TS1717 Why won't the preview song play for more than 10 seconds?

    Why won't the preview song play for more than 10 seconds?

    Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
    Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
    ... and then click OK.
    Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

  • Why doesn't my imbedded video play on iPad?

    Why doesn't my imbedded video play on iPad?

    Is it running flash? Because the iPad 2 does not run flash. Or it could be a bug in the embeded video. Run the debugger and see if that helps. Good luck :-)

  • WHY WON\'T QUICKTIME HOME MOVIE PLAY ON TOUCHSMART

    Why won't a quicktime home movie play on touchsmart 310
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Have you installed the quicktime software from Apple? There are other players that may also have the required codecs to play the video.
    That is what is required in order to play a quicktime movie.

  • You Tube videos play for 2-3 seconds.  I have tried all the fixes listed on this site.

    You tube videos were playing well and then started to load slow and play video for 2-3 seconds at a time.  We updated Adobe Flash player and Internet explored to version 11 and tried all the listed fixes but nothing is fixing the problem.  

    1. If Side Switch is set to Mute, check to make sure it's not muted

    2. Check the Volume buttons

  • Why is my .H264 rendered video playing in IE with darker colours?

    I have created a video using black text on a white background. When I use Media Encoder to export as a mp4 file, the finished video always plays in Internet Explorer with a grey (instead of white) background. My graphics card is ATI. My colleague tried it on his computer and it played with a white background as intended. His graphic card is NVIDIA.
    Under 'Project settings' in After Effects, I set the working space colour settings to: sRGB IEC61966-2.1. I read that you cannot choose colour output in Media Encoder so I put a 'Color Profile Converter' effect to my layers with the output profile set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    After rendering out as a lossless avi and then using ME to create a mp4, the video plays back in IE with a grey background. Most confusing... and I am wondering what I am doing wrong as I found a mp4 video that plays with a white background here: http://media.w3.org/2010/05/video/movie_300.mp4
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Rick, I have turned off colour management and the video still plays with a noticeably grey background.
    In the attached screenshot from Internet Explorer 11, my video is on the right, and the video I found is on the left.
    In Firefox and Safari my video plays with a white background, it's just Internet Explorer that plays it with grey. Is it possible that it is Internet Explorer's problem and not my video render settings?

  • You tube videos not opening Safari

    After installing Chrome 18 yesterday, videos in you-tube in Safari did not play. I removed the NP-PP-DIR-Shockwave plugin, and now at least some videos play.I do not have any extensions in Safari. I can watch youtube videos in Chrome which I had to install because the TV site that I was using demanded Adobe Flash and would not play in Safari.
    Any help would be appreciated
    I am using Safari 5.1.7 on a Mac 10.6.8

    O.K., I have managed to fix the problem thanks to another poster at these discussions:
    - Safari/Preferences/Privacy/'Remove all website data' - I only removed the You-tube - cache-cookies - Local storage. That only took about 4 hours.
    I just love Apple discussions........
