  • Why wont video resume automatically after a call?

    Why is audio and video behavior different after a incoming telephone call?
    Audio will resume after a call is complete without user intervention. Why wont video.
    Why do you have to hit play after the call is completed to continue video playback?
    Its particarly annoying when you have the iPhone connected to the TV through the new video cable.
    Seems like a bug to me.

    If How to Troubleshoot iSight doesn't help, Reinstall OS X.

    My iPad (4th gen) will not play sound from videos played via Facebook. Anybody have suggestions?
    I've restarted my iPad, there are no available updates that I am aware of.

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • Why won't Flash videos play in Facebook?

    I can't seem to get Flash videos to play in Facebook.  I hear sound, but just get a blank black screen where I would expect to see the video. Youtube videos work fine.
    If I browse to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html I see the following:
    "Check if Flash Player is installed on your computer", it shows the following under Step 1:
    Congratulations, your computer has the latest Flash Player installed.
    Start playing games, listening to music, and watching videos!
    YOUR SYSTEM INFORMATION
    Your Flash Version
    12.0.0.44
    Your browser name
    Internet Explorer (I'm using IE 11)
    Your Operating System (OS)
    Windows (Windows 7) (I have a 64bit OS)
    I followed Stpes 2, 3, and 4, and even see the Flash video of a swaying tree on the page under Step 5, which makes me thing Flash is correctly installed yet I'm still unable to get videos to play on Facebook. 
    Troubleshooting steps I've taken:
    - Deleted %apphost%\flash and %apphost%\macromedia folders from my system
    - Uninstall/reinstall Adobe Flash
    - Reset Internet Explorer setting to default settings, cleared browsing history, and deleted temporary internet files
    - Confirmed under "Manage Add-Ons" that "Shockwave Flash Object" is enabled
    - Ensure clean Host and LMHost files
    I'd greatly appreciate other troubleshooting suggestions anyone else can provide.  Thank you.

    The problem is... not Flash Player.... it's Ie 11.
    Microsoft intentionally screwed up the "User-Agent Strings" that websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it. If a website can ID it at all, it misidentifies it as either Gecko (Firefox) or Webkit (Safari), but since the full browser engine isnt there, IE then becomes an unidentifiable visitor.
    The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Why do videos embedded in facebook and livejournal posts say "an error has occurred, please try again later" when I click on them?

    Videos embedded in facebook and livejournal posts say "an error has occurred, please try again later" when I click on them. (This doesn't happen in Internet Explorer.) I have the latest flash player, and the only firewall in use is Windows Firewall. Popups are blocked.

    Thanks for the welcome and the reply!
    I looked at KB25882 and my settings are good, so that didn't help.
    I had this problem over a year ago, and someone at RIM found a bit set that shouldn't have been set and fixed it (that is my terminology for what happened).
    I am really looking for a way to contact RIM directly.  I hate going through the mill with my carrier to get it escalated to RIM for resolution......  <sigh>
    Hi mgpainter 
                                Most easiest way to Contact RIM is through your Carrier but as you don't prefer that than there is another way of support called Incident Based Support but just want to inform you that its not free.If you want have a try  BlackBerry Incident Based Support .
    Good Luck

  • Why wont sound play though my TV using HDMI anymore?

    Everything worked fine until the power went out one day. Now I can't get sound to play though my TV using my HDMI cable. I have tried fiddling with every setting there is to make it work on both my TV and my imac but nothing seems to work. When I open system preferences there is not any other options for output besides Internal speakers. The speakers on my TV work fine I have tested them. I've tried several different HDMI cables but nothing works. Why would everything work fine one day and then stop the next? was is because of the power outage? can I fix this myself?

    You probably can't because it looks like your MacBook Pro is too old to carry audio over HDMI. You will need to run a separate audio cable from the audio out port on the MacBook Pro to the audio in port on the TV.
    Check your MacBook Pro model year against the list in this Apple tech note:
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    Learn about the Mini DisplayPort in the latest Mac models that enables audio and video output for DisplayPort and HDMI.

  • Why is video played in iTunes bad quality, and good quality in Quicktime??

    I have tested playing movies on Quicktime that are not in iTunes and they play perfectly well. Then I tried playing movies that I had already imported into iTunes and they didn't work as well.....certain frames of the videos froze and only when another shot occurred, would the screen change - and freeze once again. Some videos also had sometimes had green blochy bits around the screen.
    All help is appreciated!

    In the article it suggests disabling 'Direct3D video acceleration in Quicktime'. On my computer it does not show that option. And it does not help much in disabling DirectX altogether.
    Also, my computer does not have the option illustrated in the screenshots in 'Modify your System Drive Configuration'. I am not sure why it is differen, but I can send you screenshots from my computer to your email if you want.

  • UK ITunes purchases, why wont they play in Germany

    Having recently moved from UK to Germany, I purchased AppleTV so I could download UK programmes and at least have something to watch which is not dubbed in German. I still have a UK bank account and still a UK address, which means I can still log into iTunes store in UK. Except……when I download anything, either through AppleTV or my Mac it will not play on my German TV. Worse, all my music, videos and TV shows which were already on my Mac, and all legally purchased from iTunes UK will not play either – format not recognised when I sync. Everything plays ok on my Mac, but I have a lovely white box that is of no use. Any ideas or am I just being stupid (and should just learn to speak German quicker)?

    UK televisions do not work in Germany, picture is good, but the sound does not work
    hmm, i bought a TV in Singapore while working there. when i got back, the TV worked just fine ...
    in Germany everything is dubbed.
    i hate that fact, too - so much +get's lost in translation+. however, there is content in the German iTMS that is OV (or, @ least, is bilingual ). look out for this
    and this
    nevertheless, stuff you already have in your iTunes library should play fine, no matter where you are.
    may be a long shot, but try this:
    check if you have read & write permissions for your iTunes music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
    you may also give everyone read & write access. if this doesn't help, try the same on your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder).
    any difference ?
    also, try de-authorizing your iTunes, then re-authorizing it.
    another consideration: when you linked up with the German iTMS, did you create a new iTMS account ?

  • Why the video played in QuickTime Player only audio available and no picture?

    Hi dear all, I need to play a video through QuickTime player 7.1.6, however there was only sound and black background shown, no picture. I have tried to play the video with Media Classic Player and it is totally fine. 
    The following shown the movie info:
    Format: H.264 Decoder, 352x288. Millions
                 ACC, Stereo, 44.100 kHz
    Firstly, I thought it is a problem on codec, but I have tried other movies in the same H264 codec, and it worked well.
    As I need to import the movie into Cubase, so I must make this able to be played through QuickTime Player.
    Appreciate much for the help!

    Player version 7.1.6 is a very old version but it should play H264 / AAC videos without issue.

  • Why wont music play on iphone 4

    I synced music to my iphone and it wont play.  it just skips over every song and the album art work looks all corupted and distorted.  i tried deleting it and re syncing it and it did the same thing.  i even deleted the music from itunes and re imported it from my cd and then put it back on my phone and still doesnt work.  any ideas?

    Try resetting your iPhone.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't fix it, restore your iPhone using iTunes.

  • Why wont firefox play bambuser broadcasts & crash constantly

    constantly crashing, dragging, freezing completely.
    will not play ANY videos at bambuser.com
    nothing.
    none of the adblockers are working any more, am DELUGED with crap ads all the time.
    I feel like this has been hacked by the very company I've trusted for a long time.
    I am feeling very betrayed.

    Does this site use the flash plugin? Regarding the ads, have you checked for malware with other tools than the antivirus already installed on the system.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software (scan with ALL programs as they may find malware differently):
