1272802 2012-04-29 23:25:00 Hi all,

Video's refuse to upload to my Facebook page. Its not FB becuase I emailed the vid to a friends Mac and it uploaded no sweat, therefore the problem must be with my computer - running XP and Firefox.

This happened once before (a month ago) and someone told me to uninstall and re-install Flash. Did this and it worked.

With this latest issue I have done the following without sucess:
- Checked the FB help - absolutely useless and they will not contact you, no matter how much you beg.
- uninstalled and re-installed Flash
- did updates on my Firefox.
- Tried to upload via Internet Explorer.
- tried to upload several different encodes of the vid (.avi, .flv, mp4...)
- tried re-uploading a vid that I had previously uploaded without a problem
STILL NO FRICKEN LUCK????

Any ideas PLEASE.... with the exception of ditching FB???? Cheers all you good people out there in PressF1-land

1272804 2012-04-30 00:31:00 When you try to upload, what exactly happens ? Does it error with a message ( if so what is it), or hang etc ? wainuitech (129)
1272805 2012-04-30 02:49:00 Sorry 4 dalayed response.

Gamejunkie = yes, there appears to be some problem with my Java, won't even update. Says there is a conflict with my internet settings although I spoke to a tech at my ISP and cant find problem. How do you fix your Java. I thought maybe you uninstall and re-install, but cant find it in my add/remove programmes... and then even if I was to uninstall, where do I reinstall from, an internet download??

Wainuitech = when I try to upload the vid to FB the upload bar doesn't even register, doesn't move, and you can leav it for half an hour and a 2mb still will not upload. Any suggestions please...

1272806 2012-04-30 03:02:00 You can get 7 update 4 here (www.oracle.com). The bottom 2 downloads. If you use 32 and 64 bit browsers

Or 6 update 32 here (www.oracle.com). Uninstall ALL versions of java prior to these versions. Get Javara unzip it, then run it (singularlabs.com). Get 2 beta 3. Then follow what it says. Just miss out the uninstall option if its uninstalled. Then reinstall whatever version

1272807 2012-04-30 03:11:00 Hi Speedy,
Thanks bro, appreciate your response...
Ok, just to clarify (for those such as myself who are a bit slow on this type of thing)
1. I uninstall Java - how? I cant see it listed in my Add/Remove Programmes...
2. OR... I download the 6 updates (for 32 bit browsers) and install. During the install it will automatically uninstall earlier versions. Is that correct.
3. I have looked at the site where you download. What versions should I use? Kernel, Online or Offline?
Windows x86 Kernel (32-bit) 0.87 MB jre-6u32-windows-i586-iftw-k.exe
Windows x86 Online (32-bit) 0.87 MB jre-6u32-windows-i586-iftw.exe
Windows x86 Offline (32-bit) 16.2 MB jre-6u32-windows-i586.exe

As always your assistance is appreciated...

1272808 2012-04-30 03:37:00 Use Javara in the link I posted then select the version thats installed. Then follow what it says then install one of the versions I posted. No, I dont think (if you install a later version), it'll uninstall the old version/s. You have to uninstall the old version

The offline install (unless you want to stay online after getting the other install and installing them), thats why I said the bottom downloads. Or get teamviewer install it, then run it. Send the ID and password it gives you to me, in a PM. And I'll do it for you

1272810 2012-04-30 03:49:00 I said get Javara the link is in the 5th post Speedy Gonzales (78)
1272811 2012-04-30 04:56:00 Speedy . . . reloaded my Java as explained:

Downloaded, unzipped and installed JavaRa Version 2 . 0 beta #3 from HERE ( . com/software/javara/javara-download/" target="_blank">singularlabs . com)
Uninstalled my current versions of Java using the 'Remove JRE' application within JavaRa . Followed the prompt and 'manually' downloaded and installed the Windows Offline version of Java . Once done I used the 'aplet' to check Java installed properly . All 100% . Then went to Java (within my Control panel) and did the update .

BUT, vids will still NOT upload to Facebook . Aggggghhh!!!!

Besides throwing laptop out window, any other suggestions . . . considering my Flash and Java are up to date . . . . . .
