Yahoo News video does not play on Mac OS X?

Yeah, that is true.\n\nIt is really annoying and there is nothing you can do to change that, except write to Yahoo and complain.\n\nJust a couple of years ago, they said all their pages/services would be compatible with Mac.\n\nThey never fixed their videos, their music site to work with it - and, they wrote a new web mail client - and it does not work with the Mac.\n\nSome months I think Yahoo is brilliant.  Others, I think they just do not get it.\n\nThey have a lot of projects going on, and sometimes it is hard to sense a single guiding hand or consistent policy guiding their actions.\n\nFortunately, you can get video news reports at other news sites which do support the Mac.  FOX News is one and there are others.

No, because it doesn't play on a Mac! Their systems are different from eachother. Apple has its Quicktime that is better than mediaplayer!

Try leaving the Media Player v. 9 and try Downloading Version: 10.\n\nIt works fine with me...

You will need to be a bit more specific, error messages??\n\nThis happened to me recently. I used to have streaming video from the USA side of Yahoo. Now it won't allow me to watch those videos, only the UK versions.

Have you tried watching it in a different media player?  Depending on the file type, some players are better than others.  \n\nIt also sounds like a resource issue. I don't know how much memory your pc has, but try closing down any background (resource-hungry) applications.

you may need to download macromedia flash player (the newest one) if that doesn't work contact yahoo, they will get back to you. Also, if you have anti-spyware programing this will sometimes block it as well.

Yes. Download Windows Media Player 9 for Mac from microsoft.  There is a plug-in that plays wmv files in quicktime player, but it's not available for the intel processors yet.\n\nFor wmv files that you are trying to view in Safari, you have to run Safari with Rosetta.  To change it, go to info on the app, and check the box next to "open with Rosetta"

Chance are it's never going to work with apple.  Yahoo doesn't really make much of it's software compatible with Mac OS X, except for messenger (which hasn't been updated in a looooong time).

most of the software that is created today are not compatible with mac...not only the yahoo video ::\nmac require's software's to be MaC approved or there's a tie with the mac company:: for example the safari browser ::\nIt's more of a corporate thingy rather than a technical one

The solution depends on the way you open the music video, i.e. which technology, is it online or a file on the system. Here's a solution \n\n(1) If it is a file, you might be getting a codec error, which can be fought by installing a suitable codec. You can also play the video using VLC player, it contains most of the codecs preloaded. You can download it at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/\n\n(2) If it is am online service, shut off the pop up blockers for a while. Yahoo music videos sometimes have a problem with firefox. In that case, open the videos in Internet Explorer
