Why can I not watch a video all the way thru without it stopping and starting, & freezing?

I like to go to abc or cbs pbs etc. and watch their videos but they do
not run all the way thru. They stop and start and stop and start and
freeze and start and quit.

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
Some have reported that increasing the session store saving interval worked for them.<br />

  • HT201177 I can't play videos on the web - they just stall - stop and start.

    when I am playing videos on the web, Vimeo for example, they play for about one or two seconds and stall.  Then they play another one or two seconds and so on for the entire video.  I have no means of changing the download size in safari preferences.  I am at a loss what to do.  i know of no-one else with this difficulty and the Microsoft laptop on the same broadband router dos not have this problem.

    Empty the Cache, and you can also try the RE-SET Safari option from the menu-bar.
    Let us know if anything changes.

  • Why can't I watch news video on ipad2? Says I need adobe and that is not supported on this device

    I subscribe to several news feeds and cannot watch the videos they post (fb). On the site I am tol I need adobe but my device does not support it. Why doesn't it and what can I do?

    Actually it is not Adobe refusing to build an ios version of Flash, it is Apple who has refused to work closely with Adobe to allow them to create a very efficient version.
    In Steve Job's own words he says "WE do not allow Flash on IOS..."
    Blackberry, who has been working with Adobe, and allowing them access to the resources they need in order to create a very efficient Flash player has done so with incredible success. Even the Register points out how insanely well the Flash player and Air enviroment runs on the playbook, and during their tests found zero effect on battery compared to using any other software on the device, which gets about 13 hours in battery life.
    Google, has also allowed Adobe access to the resources required to make an efficient player and have done so with incredible success, Android 3.1 and Flash 10.3 incorporated Hardware acceleration, the ability for flash to perform operations on the gpu, requiring far less energy. Many reports coming out have found the same situaton as they did with the blackberry, meaning Flash, when allowed access to the proper resources can be less resource intensive and less of a battery drain than any other software on the device.
    Windows, has been working with adobe and allowing them access to these resources for years, and you can see the difference in performance on a windows machine vs a mac.
    If Apple does not want to work with Adobe to allow the Flash runtime to perform up to its potential on their devices then that is fine. But understand it is Apple that is crippling the flash runtime and causing it to perform task in ways it is not designed to, and thus requiring more resources, and battery.
    Last year, when Steve Jobs released his open letter, I was up in the air about it. But now after seeing company after company manage to get the Flash runtime working and being super efficicient, I have no choice but to think that the only company having issues with it (Apple) must be doing so via thier own choice, and not due to the fault of adobe, or the efficiency of the platform.

  • Why can i do if i erase all the contains of my iphone 3g and the iphone the only thing that show me es de mac logo?

    At the present time, the only way to keep photos in iCloud indefinitely is to add them to a shared stream, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.  However, photos added to a shared stream will be a lower resolution than the original photos.  These shared streams can be shared with your friends.
    If you add the photos to your normal photo stream, they will be deleted from iCloud (and all other devices/computers) when you delete them from your phone.  And although your backup includes camera roll photos, if you delete them from your phone and continue backing it up, the backup containing the deleted photos will be overwritten by one that doesn't and they will be lost.
    This is likely to change in the fall with iOS 8 and its iCloud Photo Library feature (see http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/photos/).

    You are using the app from the store, correct?  Read the description in the store, the app only works with certain providers, which are listed in the description.    As always, it's all about money and license agreements.

  • Why can't I watch YouTube videos on Apple TV?

    Why can't I watch YouTube videos on Apple TV?  Problem started yesterday.  I'm able to watch via Airplay from my iPhone.

    You may want to describe the issue in just a little more detail. "Can't watch" doesn't tell us much.

  • HT3775 Why won't a video clip play all the way through without stopping and loading so many times?

    Any video clip that comes via email will not play all the way through without stopping so many times to load that a short clip takes 10 minutes to watch.  Sometimes, the video simply stops and loads forever and ceases to work at all.
    This happens for Youtube videos also.
    I am using a Snow Leopard Imac.

    This happens for Youtube videos also.
    Uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin then reinstall new.
    Very important to uninstall the old first.
    Uninstall >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Then reinstall new from here >   http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Then restart your Mac.

  • I can not restore the software on my 3g  I get almost all the way thru and get a fault of 1015

    I can not restore the software on my 3g iphone.  I get almost all the way thru the update and I get a fault of 1015.  Does anyone know how to fix this

    According to Apple documentation error 1015 is:
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.  Very rarely this error is caused by a hardware issue and requires service.

  • Not able to see all the records thru RSA3.

    Hello All,
    I am checking 0VALUATION_TEXT extractor on R/3 using RSA3 Tcode.
    It is showing only 3 records.
    When I am loading this Text Master data through InfoPackage, the records were loaded from R/3 to PSA itself is 6.
    Why I am not able to see all the records in RSA3.
    Kindly Help me out in this.
    Thanks,

  • Every time I watch a video on youtube (on any browser) my macbook pro starts freezing

    Hello everyone,
    Every time I watch a video on youtube (on any browser) my macbook pro starts freezing half a minute, works fine for 10 seconds, then freezes again... This started a couple days ago. The only solution is to restart and not watch video's... Anyone know how to solve this?
    I have a pretty old macbook pro, from around 2006. I've never had this problem...
    Thanks,
    Tommy
    P.S. My family is currently deleting some items and it seems to be working, I'll update you if the problem is fixed.

    Reinstall Flash Player?  YouTube is Flash based.

  • I am having problems with the InDesign it won't download it keeps saying extract when its about 30% then it says failed. How can i get it to download all the way?

    I am having problems with the InDesign it won't download it keeps saying extract when its about 30% then it says failed. How can i get it to download all the way?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
