The video downloading is extremely slow after downloading Flash Player Active X (IE) and FP Plug-in

I have Windows 7 on a 64-bit operating system, and have Firefox 19 and Internet Explorer 8. I tried installing Flash Player 11.6.602.171 from the Adobe Website and got an error message right at 47% download "can not contact reliable source." I also tried uninstalling whatever Flash Player I had, but I continued to get the same error message at 47% "can not contact reliable source." Finally, following the advice found in the link below under "Program Bar Hangs During Download," I downloaded Flash Player ActiveX (internet explorer) and Flash Player Plug-In (all other browsers). It appeared that both downloads were successful and I verified that the installation was complete in the link below under "Verify that installation is complete." It says I have Flash Player 11.6.602.171. My issue now is that whenever I watch videos that use Flash Player, the downloading of videos is extremely slow.  For example, a 45 second youtube video might take 30 minutes to watch. I have tried everything (from General Info, Download Issues, Installation Issues, Post-Installation Issues) in this Adobe installation problem page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html but the problem has not improved. Can someone please help me? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

First, I went on this link under Progress Bar Hangs During Download
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header
and then I downloaded Flash Player directly by clicking the links provided Flash Player for ActiveX (IE) and then Flash Player Plug-In (All browsers).  After my installations were complete, I tried watching any youtube videos or videos on www.ABC.com and the loading of videos was extremely slow.

  • Went to watch a video on You Tube that I have watched before on my iMac and got the prompt that I had to upload Adobe Flash Player.  Did that, and am still getting the same prompt and can't watch any videos at all.  What is going on here, Apple??

    I do not know how to do this with an Apple TV (I don't have one), but as far as I know Apple TV only does mirroring.
    If you have an HDMI cable long enough to reach your TV from where you sit, then it's easy. The TV could be set up in Extended Desktop mode (mirroring off) as if it was simply another computer monitor, and then you could just drag windows to it. If you have the Displays icon in your menu bar, that's where the setting is, or if the icon is not there, then the setting is in the Displays system preference. But again, that's for conventionally connected monitors, not Apple TV. If you don't have an HDMI cable and wanted a long one that's affordable you can get those at monoprice.com.
    The answer we are still waiting for is if anyone knows if Apple TV can be used in extended desktop (non-mirroring) mode.

  • HT1677 I can't see videos because I can't install adobe flash player.  I read to enable plug ins, but I can't see either in my iPad.

    You can try using the 'official' Facebook app or Friendly For Facebook - not sure whether they work with videos.

  • Computer EXTREMELY slow after download

    I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard. Last night I downloaded a large number of fonts (all free legal fonts, fyi ), although while it was downloading I was unsure of exactly how many I was downloading. When all was said and done it turned out there were about 30,000 fonts in the package. Although it was more than I was expecting, it was under a gig in file size so I didn't see any issues installing them. I installed all of them but last night had no issues. I turned off my computer when I went to sleep.
    This morning I went to turn my computer on and found it to be EXTREMELY slow. It took 20 minutes for it to even turn on in the first place, it took 20 minutes to open the finder and its taken an hour for the library folder to open and I STILL can't get into it. Obviously the solution is to delete the fonts, but I can't do that if I can't get into the font folder.
    Is there a way to delete things in "safe mode" or something? Because obviously I can't do it through the standard display.

    A suggestion: boot up from another OS that can read hfs+, then delete the offending fonts.
    If you have a firewire HDD that has Mac OS X installed on it you can boot up from it by pressing "T" during bootup.
    If you don't, try another OS. If I were you I would use Ubuntu, a linux OS. This will do absolutely no harm to your system at all, since it is booting from a live CD and is completely sandboxed. Go to http://ubuntu.com/ and download the live CD for free (700 MB) and burn it to a CD. Before you boot up from it you should disable journalling on your HDD, since Ubuntu can't write to journalled hfs+. You can do this from your Mac OS X install disc 1, which you boot up from (press "C" at startup to boot from CD), the Disk Utility application, selecting your drive and selecting "Disable Journalling" from the "File" menu.
    Then reboot and boot from your Live CD. Say yes to everything until you get to the desktop. You don't have to install it (unless you want), just go to the "Places" button on the "menu bar" and select Macintosh HD, or whatever you named yours, navigate it normally and delete the files. Make sure to leave a few behind. Then restart by pressing the icon in the top right hand corner. This approach is completely harmless, and I have used it several times on my friends' Macs which needed access to files while the OS was down. After you have done all that you should enable journalling again
    Hope this helps.

  • Extremely slow file downloads from the 'net (Pavilion G5460uk)

    We have an HP Pavilion G5460uk desktop with Windows 7 (64-bit) updated to SP1 and current, and use IE10 and Chrome. Protection is by Norton360 supported with Spywareblaster and Spybot S&D, and also access to Norton 'Eraser', ESET scanner and Sophos virus remover.  The PC is ethernet-cabled into the router but with also use other laptops etc wirelessly (all all these are working fine, with the same antivirus setup etc, without the problems we have on the HP desktop).
    Performance on the internet seems fine EXCEPT that the desktop is now extremely slow at downloading any files (to the point that it is timed-out on the servers).  It is impossible to download anything large onto it directly from the 'net(we are using the other PC's to transfer files) - although MS updates seem to get on OK. 
    We tried HP 'Support Assistant' which recommends two updates: Ralink Wireless Network Controller (sp58084) & 802.11n WLAN (sp60924) updates.  Of course we cannot download these directly but it is unclear whether these are relevant to the problem anyway.
    It does not appear to be a network/internet, software currency or virus issue.  Some setting somewhere?  Please can someone advise on what now needs to be done.
    This question was solved.

    Matter now resolved!   We thought that we had covered everything before bringing it here.  But just one dodgy router port connection is all it takes.  Thanks for your time.

  • ITunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this, iTunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this

    iTunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this, iTunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this?

    I do not have a solution, just the same complaint.  ***!  !    I just used the iTunes store 2 weeks ago and now, after reviewing everything they asked for including ID/Pass/ Account Info etc.  I can't even get into the store.  I have tried asking at the Mac store and it has all been to no avail.  I was perfectly happy with iTunes before all of this ********... seriously what is the issue with iTunes?  They ask me to upload a new version (with no system specs anywhere that I can find on the page)  and then say it can't utilized because of system inadequacy.  It is exceedingly frustrating.

  • Slow after download and installing Aperture 3 on my Mac with OS X Lion 10.7.3. Have any one else same experience and an idea of how to solve the problem ?

    My recently bought and up to date MacBook Pro 17" became very slow after downloading and installing Aperture 3. Is there onyone out there who have experienced the same problem and have an idea of how to go about fixing the problem ?

    Are you experiencing the slowness only when you are running Aperture or all the time since you installed it?
    Have you done anything with Aperture, imported images, iPhoto library etc?
    How much memory is in your system? Did you have any external disks attached? How big and how much free space is there on your internal disk?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    ☞ 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Running slow after downloading a mandatory update

    running slow after downloading an update!
    I had zero complaints until today when I downloaded an update and restarted my machine.
    Now It feels like I'm back in the PC world.
    Any suggestions?

    If it is Safari loading web pages slowly, I would suggest http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3230 or http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594, one of these will surely help. If not, as previously suggested, more detail will greatly help.

  • My mac is to slow after download yosemite

    why is my macbook air slow after download yosemite?

    There could be many reasons for it, but a common one is that you activated FileVault when you upgraded. It takes several hours for the conversion to take place, and during that time performance will be reduced. Another common problem is inadequate memory (less than 4 GB.)

  • Extremely slow iTunes download

    Recently, my iTunes has been EXTREMELY slow at downloading things as small as a podcast. I'm currently trying to download a podcast and it says that there is 24 minutes remaining on 88.2 MB podcast. Can anyone explain to me what's going on?

    Oh, thanks! I also noticed that I can't listen to the 30 second samples any more because the stream always interrupts Seems to be a problem with iTunes Europe
    Are there any more information available... when will the problem be solved (maybe some Apple employees are reading the Discussions too

  • Safari is now VERY slow after downloading Lion

    My Safari (which is the latest version) is now VERY slow after downloading Lion.  It takes forever for anything to load, and some pages don't load at all anymore.  Any way to fix this?  It is very frustrating!

    I've just made a change to try to keep the wifi from crashing and it also seems to give me a speed boost online.
    Go into your System Preferences, choose Network, and then in that dialog box choose "Advanced..."
    Once there, select the DNS tab.
    Click the plus sign and add the following to your list of DNS servers:
    8.8.8.8
    It's Google's public DNS and seems to have fixed both the dropping and speed issues.
