Why does my video's always stop and start?

Can't listen or watch a movie because it keeps stopping & starting. Hoping to find a solution.

Hi Trisha,
You're welcome
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if videos play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart Internet Explorer.
If you still get the loading problem, run a check on the speed of your internet connection using a site like the one on the link below, in case this is what's causing the problem.

When I watch youtube videos, it always stop and start. Very annoying. Any good apps that we can use.

YouTube videos always stop and start . Is there an apps that we can download to stabilize the video.

Are you trying to watch YouTube from a web browser on iPad or from the YouTube app?
Should be running fine from the YouTube app on the iPad unless you have a slow connection.
Our family uses DSL (4-5 Mbps) and we stream video both with iPads, computers and TV with,mostly, no issues like buffering or data degradation/pixellation. It all depends on how much traffic there is on the Internet at any one specific time.
Heavy Internet traffic on different days at different hours of the day, from your ISP, can also be a factor in slowing down your Internet connection.

Why does my character palette always bink and disapear in FM 11 structured mode?

Why does my character palette always bink and disapear in FM 11 structured mode?

Hello Bob,
thanks a lot for your reply. It actually helped me: I turned on and filled in "5GHz Network name", gave the 5GHz network another name and forced the iMac to connect to this network. It wasn't actually that seamless, because for some reason the 5GHz network appears much later in the site survey than the 2.4GHz one, and when I first tried it and didn't see the 5GHz network in the list, I typed the network name manually. This way I verified that the 5GHz network at least works.
The fact that the iMac connects to the stronger signal is interesting, I would expect kind of a more intelligent behaviour from one Apple device talking to another Apple device, but never mind. Yet one more thing: now I can see that the 5GHz connected iMac has Signal -57 and Noise -96. Doesn't this mean that this network has better signal-to-noise ratio than the 2.4 GHz network (which has -69 and -96 respectivelly)? So why does iMac choose the more noisy network anyway?
Thank you
JR

Every video or podcast stops and starts every second

Any help would be appreiciated, using Chrome, Windows XP Pro with SP3, Pentium 4 2.4GHz, with 2GB Ram, with Nvidia Gforce 5200 video card! Too old a system??

hi, all three are pretty much the same, and its not a buffering issue. I hav Verizon Fios and had a WUGNET speed test show download speed being 11.3 Mbps and upload of 1.24. It was possible the Html was slightly better but not by much.

That should be fine for system specs. My first guess would be network bandwidth issues. Does it seem like the video/audio buffers fast enough or does the buffer continue to run out when the item is played? Try these two links out, do either of them play better?

While watching videos they keep stopping and starting

Videos stop every 2-3seconds and may not start for 5 minutes

I understand that on Firefox for Android that when playing videos, they stop and start.

Videos on YouTube stop and start

Why do the videos I'm watching on YouTube pause every few seconds?

Possibly because your local Internet connection isn't fast enough to download the video to your computer for real-time viewing. Does this happen at all times of the day and night, or only in the evening hours when Internet usage is heaviest?
Or possibly because your computer is doing lots of other things at the same time. Does it happen when no apps are open besides your browser, and no other browser tabs or windows are open?

Videos run intermitently; stop and start

Why do videos continue to stop and start on my MacBook Air?

Why does my video clip look faded and not work on my timeline?

I am making a simple short movie on my timeline. In fact, I already made it.
However, when I added a credits sequence (which used to look fine and worked normally), I ran into a problem.
Now, on my timeline, the little purple box that indicates the credis sequence is a little faded. Also, the text in the credits is inexplicably invisible, and can't be modified to any form of invisibilty.
How did I manage to create this mess, and how do I get my credits to look normal again?
-Jason Luna

Could it be that you disabled the scrolling title( I assume that is what you mean when you say "Credit sequence"). Hitting the V key when a clip/title is selected will disable it. Select it and hit V and see if it fixes your problem. If it is disabled you won't see the text.

Why does "wecome to firefox"always open when starting firefox?

Since updating from firefox3.xxx, every time I open the browser, Welcome to Firefox and my home page opens.How do I get "welcome" to stop opening? AND all the colors are missing from the menu bar text, only white on the arrows, reload, "house" icon etc.

My problem was solved with Matt_G 's idea. My preference's were not disappearing, just pushed aside...............Bill

Safari video streaming constant stops and starts

I don't remember having this problem in earlier versions of Safari. There is no smooth streaming. I have to wait and wait for bits of video to load. Any suggestions? Thx.

It could be that your G4 is just too underpowered to view some "modern" Web pages.
Many pages now display very large video files and they take a long time to download. If you have a very fast connection you may be getting the data fast enough but your CPU just can't properly display the content without some "hiccups".
Wait until the entire file downloads (pause playback if it begins) to have a better viewing experience.
