Can I get around this?

[Kangirl]

Why can I watch something on my computer, on a free video site, and my boyfriend can't watch it on his? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with location. He's on a Mac, I'm on a PC and we both use Firefox.

Help.

Edit: this is what we're trying to watch: factualTV - Escape to River Cottage: Episode 1

Does your boyfriend have Adobe Flash Player 10? That's what the video requires.

THANK YOU Blackcat, he doesn't, and that could very well be the problem. I
m going to be so happy if this an easily-solved problem. Thanks!

 

[BlackCat]

No problem. That's the only thing that I could think of to be a problem really.

Tell him to open it with Safari, I can't open it with Camino but with Safari I can. This happens sometimes for whatever reason but I have 4 browsers in my Mac I use on different occasions. Also tell him I'm proud of him for using a Mac.

Why? They're overpriced and less functional than PCs, assuming you know what you're doing.

Myth my friend, when you factor in cost of software, resale value and so on the Mac will cost you less.

Assuming you know what you're doing the Mac is far more functional. There is nothing you can do with your PC (keeping games out of the picture) I can't do better with my Mac however that statement can not be reversed.
