Youtube not running well on your iBook? Theres a solution!

hello every one, this idea might probabily have been posted some where else already, but, I i think I will put it in here any way.
Is your iBook running youtube with a slow frame rate? well, theres a solution around this. the mobile version of youtube will open your youtube videos ona seperate player, and it will run nicely on a G3 iBook with 500 mhz. so, you may need the real player for this. the youtube video is not running on flash any more, but in the real player, so its like playing youtube videos in your own iBook.
I hope this helps for the people who have iBooks and use them every day.

I can't express enough thanks for this solution.
Many, many people have asked about a way to view YouTube videos on a G3 iBook without stuttering and choppy playback.
This possibility has never been mentioned on this particular forum, so, again, thank you very much!

Youtube not running well...

I just got my new iBook dual USB today and its beautiful, but I went to youtube and I installed the flash player, them I went to a video, but the framerate is very jumpy, not very good... how can I fix this? also, I got a very light scracth on the screen, it does not bother me, but is it permanent?

YouTube is going to be tough going. It also depends on your internet connection speed, which can vary from hour to hour and, to some extent, the number of hits YouTube is receiving. I have found it's somewhat better for me in the middle of the night.
You can upgrade the RAM to 640 MB with a 512 MB 3.3 V, PC100 or PC133 compliant, 1.25 inch SDRAM SO-DIMM. That may help some.
Try closing all other applications except Firefox when trying to view videos, and close all other browser windows and tabs. Sometimes restarting the iBook before trying to view a video helps minimize the stuttering.
You may have to resort to downloading the video via a third-party application and watching it with QuickTime. That's what I ended up doing a lot of the time before I got my MacBook.
We have to remember that the iBook 500 MHz is now over 6 years old, and came out years before YouTube existed, so it's not too surprising that the two don't work very well together.
Good luck.

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Zzxc: how do I cancel firefox and get my favorites back. my computer is not running well and I did not have a copy of my favorites

i need to go back to aol and have my favorites restored as my computer is not running well. I need to get my favorites back as it contains very important information.

If you start the AOL Browser, it will have your AOL favorites. Firefox doesn't interfere with AOL Browser or Internet Explorer in any way.
If you want to uninstall Firefox, see [[Uninstalling Firefox]]

Sorry Glen, but there is not. And you don't have to upgrade to 10.6 (Snow Leopard). You need at a minimum of 10.5.8 (Leopard).

Why are auto renewing subscriptions not available in Israel? Is there any solution to this, any way to subscribe?

Probably the same way no gift cards are allowed, and severe limitations on books & apps, etc.

My laptop is not running well since installing Firefox 4. How can I go back to using Firefox 3, which I find better in so many ways?

My laptop is quite old; that is a given fact. None of my programs are running well since I installed Firefox 4. It seems to have particularly compromised my Outlook and email downloads, also opening PDF files. Neither do I like the 'build' of Firefox 4. I had Firefox 3 set to the way I like to work as my personal tool or implement. This is the way things should be, not the other way around. Please let me know of I can re-install an earlier version?
I will not be changing my laptop or operating system any time soon.

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

My work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud, so I hard sync. But then the new info on my iPhone does not backup to iCloud. Is there a solution?

I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud. However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud. The company has no plans to update anytime soon. Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes. The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud. Is there a solution?

I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!

Youtube not running in firefox, but works with internet explorer

when i open you tube in Firefox, it does not run the videos. however the same runs good with internet explorer. a few weeks back the videos were running quite good with Firefox also.

Hi,
You can try to '''Clear Now''' the '''Cache''', '''Cookies''', and '''Site Preferences''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History] as well as '''Delete all''' in the Windows '''Control Panel''' > '''Flash Player''' > '''Storage''' tab.
If you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, you can try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and its related files in all the different configuration areas/modules of the security software. Instead create new allow/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes. Even otherwise the security software may also ask again when Firefox is started and you can try to allow/trust at that time. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

Game does not run well in Classic

On one of my computers, I am still running Panther and OS 9. The only reason for this is that I have an old mahjong (OS 9) game which I like quite much. When I upgraded to Tiger, I also installed Classic and I could run the game, but on certain actions, the game always stuck.
Does this make any sense? Can I install Classic in Tiger in a way that the game will run without any problem?
FYI:
- friends of mine had exactly the same problem with this game when upgrading to Tiger
- I cannot contact the manufacturer of the game. It is Japanese and on their site there is neither an e-mail address nor a fax number (if they would understand English at all).
Thanks for your help.

Classic works... most of the time. Maybe 85-90% of apps have no problems, and most of the ones which have problems also have work-arounds. Unfortunately the ones which have problems and no work-arounds usually have those problems because of a decision made back in basic design, and there is no cure short of re-writing the app from scratch. Which is not going to happen with, for example, a game dating from 1989 whose vendor went out of business in the early 90s, and which was picked up by another vendor, who went out of business in the mid 90s. (Yes, Harpoon, I'm talking about you. It eats 100% of CPU cycles on a 2.1GHz G5 iMac and gigs upon gigs of RAM and then freezes for lack of system resources, when I know that it'll run on a 25MHz IIsi in 17MB RAM because I used to play it on that hardware... Grrr... The 'This game requires 256 colors' screen which pops up forcing me to reduce the colour settings from millions to 256 really irritates, too. Grrr...) But those decisions were taken by others, not by Apple, and usually those decisions directly ignored Apple's advice. (The 256-color pop-up, for example: Apple said that it was okay to check for required colour levels, so long as the required level was the floor; these guys also made it the ceiling which is a no-no. And the concept of 'memory leak' was alien to them. I suspect that there's a reason why they went bust.)

Mozella 3.6 will not run well with Adobe Flash Player 10.1-- IE8 and Adobe Fpash Player 10.1 does work

I use filehippo.com to automatically update my applications. So I have Mozella 3.6 and then recently downladed and installed Adobe Flash player 10.1 or the latest version.
I then proceed to http://www.africam.com/wildlife/lc_player_chat.php?sh=nk-1
and found that the picture will not show- I get a running circle and then a brown square instead of the pic.
Now using IE8 and the same version of Adobe Flash Player I get the picture.
This worked in Mozella before the last update of Adobe.
Can you give me any direction to fix this?

Hi, not sure what that is about. Did you use the Adobe Uninstaller first and follow the instructions?
I would download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then I would download and SAVE the Installer to your Desktop:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html Use the EXE Installer for Windows/IE
Once you have that done, then Close all browsers, disable any messenger services in the system tray(area near the clock)
Run the Uninstaller and when it is finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
Then run the Installer and reboot when it is finished.
Then test here and you should see the Flash logo animation and the version of Flash Player that is Installed.

Let me know if you have any questions,

OSX 10.4.5 not running well

About two weeks ago I updated to OSX 10.4.5, and since then many of my programs don't run smoothly anymore. I work mostly in Adobes Creative Suite 2, and had problems with both Photoshop and InDesign - generally, they will only crash 2-3 times a day, but at times this also happens every two minutes.
Odd is also that sometimes if I restart Photoshop I get the settings for blue scollbars and such, even though my system settings are set to grey.
The crashing is also the problem with other programs like Freehand, Safari or iTunes. I did look for broken font files via "font collection" (is this the english name?) and removed them, but the problem still occurs.
Might there be anything else that could help?
Power PC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

10.4.5 is recommended.
Disconnect FWDs before installing OS updates. (It is sometimes recommended that you disconnect USB devices too.)
Start-up from the OSX DVD and run Disk Repair.
Archive & Install from the Tiger DVD.
Reboot and run Repair Permissions from the Desktop.
Install 10.4.5 from a pre-downloaded copy of the Combo 10.4.5 Updater.
The first boot-up will take quite a long time. Don't interrupt it —let it finish its clean-up.

Restart and Repair Permissions AGAIN.

Outlook Synchronization with BB does not include e-mail. Is there a solution ?

I have downloaded the latest version of the BB Desktop software and I have no problem with synchronization of my contacts, calendar, reminders and notes. However, there is no option (tick box) to select synchronization of my BB email with my desktop e-mail. So the way it stands now, if I want to keep my e-mail synchronized on both my P.C. and my BB I have to do it manually. If RIM doesn't provide support for Outlook e-mail synchronization, is there third party software available to do this?
All three of the e-mail accounts on the BB are ISP accounts and not Blackberry Enterprise server accounts.
Thanks,
Gary

Solved!
Go to Solution.

BB hiya - i have aBB storm hooked up to our company BES - on the whole synchronization works except for one annoying bit
it synchronizes claendar, contacts, notes wirelessely - for email, if i delete an email in my BB it deletes from Outlook. BUT NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND. if i delete an email from Outlook it does not delete from my BB - which is becoming increasingly annoying
Spoken to my IT folks about it and in their usual mannerthey have brushed it off as a RIM/BES anomaly - anything as long as they don't have to do any work. despite the fact that other people in the company synch fully just fine
can anyone help with this problem, has anyone experienced it and fixed it, so i can march down to these guys and tell then exactly what to look for/fix?
Also have a problem receiving HTML emails. i used to receive them when i was hooked up to my service provider's BIS, but since i moved onto the work BES, they have stopped - appears that the BES seems to be blocking images from the email. we are one a higher version than 4.1.6 so it should support it, but similarly i have the laziest IT department out there - any help gleefully appreciated
