WiFi connection drops when I try to play video

This has been happening for months now. When I try to play video my WiFi connection gets dropped & it takes about 3 mins to pick up again. No problems on other web, YouTube is the main problem, but only because it's the site for so many vids. I've had other video sites drop the wiFi link too.
Anyone know how to fix this? And are Apple doing anything to fix this video handling problem (except for dropping the YouTube app from the last iOS release)?
Thanks

Hmm. Apple will charge me $20 for a one off call, so I'm not fussed on doing that first up. I thought for sure other people would've had the same problem as me so thought it worth asking here. There are no Apple stores where I am. Not even sure if there's one in the country. There might be one up north but that's the other end of NZ to me.
And it's not a service provider issue, there's nothing wrong with my internet connection at all. It's just video on the iPod.
Maybe this doesn't make as much sense as I think it does .
Honestly it is the stupidest thing that everything just falls over whenever I try to play video. I was thinking of getting an iPad (or a mini) but that's definitely on hold until I can sort out these issues. No point in an iPad if it might cough up the same problem.
I'll keep searching online & see whether anyone else has had this issue. If there's really no-one then I might have to cough up the dough. Shame as otherwise it's a brilliant wee device & I'm permanently connected to it.

  • When I try to play videos on Apple's website, "missing plug-ins" appears. The same happens when I try to play Apple trailers. Other "users" on the same iMac don't have this problem.

    Hello audreyt92616051,
    The 'Blocked plug-in' message is from Safari (Apple), not Flash Player. This either means you have an older version of Flash Player, or internet plug-ins are disabled in the browser.  To verify internet plug-ins are enabled, Go to the Safari Preferences > Security and make sure the 'Internet Plug-ins' checkbox is marked.  The exact location and wording may differ depending on your version of Safari.
    To install the latest version of Flash Player, go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and download the installer, taking note of the download location.  After the download completes, exit out of Safari (and any other app you have that may use Flash Player), go to the 'saved to' location, launch the installer, and follow the prompts to install Flash Player.

    I have adobe15.8 safari  Mac i Life and I now get the blocked plug-in on the screen when I try to play video. Very frustrating.  What am I doing wrong??

    Could you please visit https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and follow the instructions to get the latest version?  Once installed, please visit the Flash Player Help page and click the "Check Now" button.  Your Flash Player version should now be 17.0.0.134 which is the latest version.  That should fix the blocked plugin issue that you're running into.
    Thanks,

  • Firefox will no longer play videos and keeps telling me to download the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer which I have done 5 times but still get the same message when I try to play videos. I can play videos on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome .

    Recently when I try to play a video on Firefox I get the same message that I need to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. At least 5 times I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X and Adobe Flash Player Plugin 64 bit. Problem is that even though I have the latest version I still get the same message when I try to watch videos on Firefox. The frustrating thing is I can watch videos on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome as well as on Safari. How does that make sense?
    Today, I upgraded to Firefox 10.0.2 (x86eng-us) hoping that would enable me to watch video on Firefox but it made no difference either. I would rather use Firefox as my default browser but if I can't get help so I can view video on it I will be forced to use another browser.

    Hi arpriltime,
    Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Why does quiktime freeze when i try to play video?

    I just reformatted my computer and reinstalled windows xp pro...before i had no problem with itunes or quicktime...but now whenever i try to play video through itunes it will freeze and i have to ctrlaltdelete and then cancel...then itunes will close down...when i try to open a video through quicktime the program freezes so i do the ctrlaltdelete then cancel and this time quicktime will play audio but no video...PLEASE HELP!!! i am going crazy, all drivers are installed and updated, i tried to repair and reinstall itunes and quicktime with no success

    I would take a look at the video card driver. The lastest driver for a video card doesn't always mean it is going to be the best one for it or even work without causing problems.
    Example, recently when going to microsoft's OS updates, there were a few updates needed, most security related, one was for the secondary monitor's video card. Well after they were installed, the computer would keep re-starting on its own.
    Well the last change made was updating the video card driver. So I rolled it back in Device Manager, and that solved the problem. This is why I think it is foolish to have a windows computer setup to automatically update.
    The problem your having is difficult to diagnose, more than likely a driver issue. It is not QT because that is only a program.
    Hardware not configured properly will definately cause a freeze when playing mulimedia. Mostly if the jumpers are not setup correctly with master/slave for drives and in the BIOS.
    Why was the OS XP pro reinstalled?

  • ITunes shuts down when I try to play video

    Every time I try to open a TV show or movie on my iTunes, a window pops up that says "iTunes has stopped working."
    And then it shuts down. Anyone have any crafty solutions for me? Is it my fault? Did I anger the gremlins, or do I just need to download something?

    Correction: Movies play just fine. Apparently it's only the tv shows that kill my iTunes. Any help is much appreciated.

  • Firefox crashes when I try to play videos at You Tube

    Firefox keeps crashing when I go to You Tube and watch a single video or videos on a playlist that I created. Other websites are not crashing, just You Tube. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3. I recently downloaded the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer as well.

    Thanks for the info. It's really strange that it could have been connected to your power source somehow. However, the problem I am having, and most people are having, is flash related. The only fix (which seems to be temporary) is to uninstall and reinstall adobe flash player. I've done that about 20 times in the past 6 months. However, flash player just released a new version which might ease this problem a bit, and Mozilla just released the new beta which should stop the browser from crashing and only close the affected window. Still not ideal fixes but should make life easier.

  • When I try to play videos or movies I keep getting url not found on this server

    What does it mean when in says url not found on this server?

    If the site is down it should say something like "server not responding" shouldn't it, or if the ISP had the forsight and sense to set it up right it should redirect to another site or page somewhere that says, Sorry this site is down for whatever reason and when it might be back up.  Access denied seems like a funny message to get.
    Also ... one has to wonder why Arianna Huffington who presumably lives in CA is hosting the HP from New York?
    In any case, thanks for the heads up.
    Anyone check any of the other sites ... in UK ... there's probably others as well?
    NEVERMIND ... huffingtonpost.com  huffingtonpost.co.uk huffingtonpost.ca are all down, must all be located in NY.
