Hi, I have a macbook pro 2012 13 inch, everytime i go to watch a video (youtube/uni lectures) online (i use firefox), the video plays but if i go into another tab, the audio keeps playing, but the image on screen will be frozen. It gets really frustrating

Hi,
I have a macbook pro 2012 13 inch, which i use for uni and youtube etc. I use firefox for my web browsing, whenever I go to watch videos, from youtube or even uni lectures (for all my subjects) the video and audio play fine, but as soon as i switch into another tab, the audio continues to play whilst the video lags and stops all together, freezing on the current screen. The timestamp on the video players also stops, which gets incredibly frustrating when I am watching uni lectures, does anybody know how to fix this?? Please help.

Which os version are you using? 
Which Firefox version? 
Have you posted in the Firefox forums or contacted their tech support for assistance? 
Have you made sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

    The correct RAM specifications for a 2012 13" MBP are:  204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.  The best sources for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.

  • I have a mac pro book and i need further editing tools, i need to do more professional design , i use key note a lot , but i cant crop an image in key note and i find it limiting. what is the next step?

    thanks!!

    Try the excellent shareware application, Graphic Converter. In addition there are many very good photo editing programs for the Mac. Look for them all at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 2012 running Mountain Lion 10.7.5 and the mirroring icon isn't showing up to stream to Apple TV

    I have a MacBook Pro 2012 running Mountain Lion 10.7.5.  I've been trying to get the mirroring icon to show up in the bar but no dice.  Any tips?  I've gone into System Preferences -> Display and there is no option to turn on mirroring.

    Welcome to the Apple Community maricespieces.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

  • I have new macbook pro 2012, after reimage with mountain lion new version image its locked by firmware password(i have the password but the password not accepted) and its just freeze at apple icon and doesnt boot to OSx, how to make it working?

    macbook pro seem not working, not either go to startup screen just freeze on apple icon.
    and cannot also password for firmware are wrong when i type it in.
    how can i know the keyboard problem if the password are confirm right?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • My macbook pro frooze, "spinning wheel of death", I tried to force quit.  When that failed I held down the power button.  Now I can't get by the white apple start up screen, the wheel just keeps spinning and nothing will happen...HELP!

    Again,
    My macbook pro just frooze while on-line.  I got the rainbow wheel spinnin and it wouldn't stop I tried to do a force quit and I was unable to do that.  So I held down the power button.  Now when I try to restart it I can't get by the while page with the apple symbol on it.  All I have is the grey circle spinning continuosly like it is working.  I tried a command S when I started it back up and checked the HD and rebooted, still can't get by the startup page.  Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem. I started an automatic upgrade that then got "stuck" for hours. I did a hard shut down and now all I get when I try to reboot is the spinning wheel. I haven't done a backup in 3 months and can't afford to lose everything in a reinstall. Any suggestions?

    To save myself another 10 minutes of typing I'll just suggest you browse this forum for posts over the past week.  I know I have answered this question for an identical machine setup in the past week. 
    Short answer. I'd go with Snow Leopard. Lion may be possible but for a Tiger user may be too much of a jump.  For my reasoning read my other posts.

  • Hi, I use BootCamp for my windows 7, I have a Macbook Pro 2012, and I want to use a second display, is this possible with my Mac using Windows?

    I just dont see a port usable for a second screen. I want to hook it up to my TV to view photos and movies. What can I do?

    What do you mean you don't see a port? Does your computer have a HDMI or a ThunderBolt/Mini Display port? You can use these to add a second display. Which one you use depends on what input ports your tv has.

  • I have a Macbook Pro 13.3 i5 w/ no hdmi port. How can I connect my Mac to TV to watch video, photo ?  Is the Thunderbolt port a mini display port where I can use a mini display port to HDMI cable? If not, what are my options??

    I have a Macbook pro 13.3 w/ i5 that has no hdmi port. I want to be able to connect the Mac to my TV set to watch Video, Photos and files from Mac to TV.
    Is the Thunderbolt port similar to a display port or mini display port? Can I use thunderbolt port to connect thru a mini displayport to HDMI cable or converter?
    Been trying to locate a USB to HDMI cable or converter (at a reasonable price) but all I found is a displayport or mini displayport to HDMI cable/converter.
    What other options are available ?
    Thanks a lot for your assistance.

    Thunderbolt uses a Mini DisplayPort adapter to send video and audio to HDMI.

    Where can I find this new version?  Thank you
    10.7.4 is the latest update of MacOS X Lion. Run Software Update in System Preferences.
    Since you state to run 10.7.2, Software Update will have to use the combo updater to bring it up to 10.7.4. This will entail a large download that will take some time so have patience. I suggest the following steps:
    Restart the Mac, press and hold Command-R to start up in Recovery Mode (More info: http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/ ).
    If needed, select the desired language to move to the next screen (only if it is the first time in Recovery Mode).
    Select Disk Utility in the bottom of the list, Continue...
    Choose the hard disk drive device on the list ( xxx.xx GB APPLE HDD ...) by clicking on it.
    Click on Repair Disk button, wait for it to finish.
    Choose the Lion boot volume, Macintosh HD, by clicking on it.
    Click the Repair Disk button, wait for it to finish. If any errors are found and the process does not end with a "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK." message, click on Repair Disk again.
    Click on the Repair Disk Permissions button. This will take awhile to finish.
    Quit Disk Utilities, choose Restart from the menu.
    Now run Software Update in System Preferences, choose to apply all missing updates. This will take quite awhile, depending on how fast your Internet connection is. The Mac will need to be restarted when the updating is done.
    Run Software Update again to have Safari updated to the latest version. This is necessary since Safari 5.1.7 needs OS X 10.7.4 to be running already.

  • I have a MacBook Pro core 2 duo giving me Internet problems the error message I am getting is "connection timeout" any solutions ?

    I have a MacBook Pro core 2 duo giving me Internet connection problems. Every other computer around me can connect to the Internet except me. The error message I am getting is "connection timeout" I've attempted to google solutions with no luck. Help anyone ?

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
