I NEED HELP!!!

[Guest]

ok, so ill be honest im NOT  a computer genius but ive been at it for hours and i cant figure out why my laptop (macbook os x 10.5.8.) wont let me watch videos anymore. first it makes me download the video instead of just watching it (like i usually do) so fine i let it download but then after 10-15 minutes of downloading (which is the longest it has ever taken my laptop to download) it says no available application can open it. but i have uninstalled and uninstalled adobe plash player but nothing. it just is not working. i really need help!

Hi gelmyl15,

Flash Player is no longer supported on OS X 10.5.8.

What is the file extension on the video that is being downloaded?

the three letters after the period in the name of the file.  Example:  Filename.swf, Filename.doc, etc.

Hi,

You'll need a third party viewer to view the .flv files.  A common viewer is VLC Media Player (VideoLAN - Official Download of VLC media player for OS X‌, but there are other ones out there that you can use.  When .flv files are hosted on a web server and accessed via a browser you would use the Flash Player plugin.  But downloaded, as you have done, requires some other software to do it as the Flash Player plugin only works in the browser.
