1080p Youtube Streaming Videos

I do not live close to an Apple store and the Mac store in my town only had an 11" floor model.
I know that the 1.4GHz 11" will not play youtube 1080p videos smoothly.
Does anyone know if the 1.6GHz 11" or the 1.86GHz 13" or the 2.1GHz 13" can play 1080p youtube videos. The video I have been trying to play is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9vAOzYz-Qs&fmt=37
I want to buy a macbook air but I want it to play 1080p youtube videos. I hope one of them can.

Looks pretty darn good on my 11.6"1.4 2GB system. I have the 128 GB storage option. I tested it on Safari and Chrome on OSX, and IE, Safari and Chrome on Windows 7. A few points I would make though:
1. Looks best output to a 1080P display via HDMI (no scaling impact)
2. I am running Flash v10.1 r85
3. I have found videos that show an ever so slight frame drop(very watchable), notably the nVidia Pure Video 1080p Test.
For as often as I intend to use the system this way, I can live with it.

Slow YouTube streaming videos

Why is my iPad 2 slow at streaming YouTube videos? When I use my iPod touch under the same wi-fi network, it seems that it is faster than the iPad 2.

I have the same problem, my ipad3 was really fast, now it takes 3 days to download one episode of whale wars (40 min programme) and the internet connection is on and off. My Thinkpad is on the same WiFi network and is fast as ever (fiber optic).
Really bad, I almost binned the thing last night, it is now a very expensive photo frame. I have not used Apple products since 1996 and I thoiught I would have a go with the new Ipad. Clunky and unreliable as ever.

Youtube streaming video

Hi all,
I'm not exactly sure where I should be posting this so apologises if people think it shouldn't be here !
My problem is with watching video's on Youtube in either Firefox or Safari.
Basically I, mostly, get the sound OK but the picture play back is extremely jerky and many seconds behind the sound.
I appreciate that this is a very generic problem and there could be any number of reasons why this is happening but I would've thought that my ageing Mac should still be able to cope with this !
Are there any basic things that I need to ensure are set correctly within OSX, Safari or Firefox to at least give me a fighting chance at getting the video clips to run smoothly.
Many thanks for any help / suggestions.

An e-friend who had the same issue with Panther 10.3.9 but did not wish to
upgrade to Tiger 10.4.11 (and other parts associated with that) has applied
Adobe Flash player and Shockwave player, & Camino 1.6.10 - then Youtube
and other web-based items appear to work. - Some content may need the
newer Quicktime player in association with a browser, too.
That is the short path. The two Adobe players require the correct version
for use in Panther (not using the most recent in this old system) and ones
already in the computer need to be removed prior to installing newer ones.
There are Uninstallers for both of the Adobe players involved; these utilities
should work in Panther 10.3 OK. Browsers need to be off when this is done.
The Camino browser is the most easily accomplished of these items;
at http://caminobrowser.org for the last version, which supports 10.3.9.
Good luck & happy computing!

Safari shuts down on Streaming Video (AVI or WMV)

Any time I go to a site that have streaming video (other than YouTube), Safari and Foxfire will lock up and shut down. It seems to happen when the video being streamed is an AVI or WMV file. I didn't have this problem with earlier versions of Mac OS. It would just go to the page and sit there and I could go back a page, now it locks up and shuts down. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
YouTube streams video using the Flash plugin. Try uninstalling then reinstalling a new copy of the Flash Player plugin.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*

Mac Mini 2011 Fan is Noisy During Streaming Video

Mac mini 2011 2.3 GZ. When I watch Youtube streaming video fullscreen or video chat with someone on Skype, the fan kicks into high gear and gets really noisy. Fan gets to about 5200 rpm and CPU up to 75C. I don't get the heat or fan noise during avi/Quicktime/VLC playback, or an Skype, audio alone. I don't recall this on my 2009 Mac Mini. Is this normal?
Only variable is an 8 gigabyte RAM upgrade.

It's possible that hardware accelleration is not
enable for Adobe Flash. Right click on the You
Tube window and check the Flash Player settings.

Streaming video on youTube

My neighbor gave me an eMac for my 9 yr old daughter to use. I upgraded it to OS 10.4.11 and it works fine except for watching streaming videos. Both Quicktime and Flash stutter in Safari, but since I've reinstalled Quicktime it works only on Firefox. I cannot watch Youtube or Yahoo Trailers on either Safari and Firefox. I've reinstalled Flash a half dozen times, including the newest version- and an earlier 9.0.277.0 version--but the video still stutters. I've tried resetting the Pram and fixed permissions as well.
My internet connection is good, my MacBook Pro plays everything.
Is something interfering with the Flash and Quicktime? Anything else I can try?

Thank you,

Hi Ayse,
Issues with Internet connection speeds aside, I am afraid that the age and speed of your eMac is what is causing your stuttering issues when streaming video and YouTube. Your eMac is just not up to the challenge. Plus, YouTube uses video codecs that are designed to run on more recent, modern computers.
Your eMac's CPU and, especially, the eMac's bulit-in video card are just not able to handle the type of content and codecs that a lot of streaming video sites use now. And, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the issues are from the fact that the the highest Mac OS X version you can run is OS X 10.4 Tiger. Your eMac is 6 years old and your OS version is 4 years old.
I have single 1.25 Ghz CPU with a fairly speedy video card and 2 GBs of RAM running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard on a DSL connection and I can watch streaming video in MP4 format from YouTube, but my Mac struggles, sometimes, with 720p HD videos from YouTube and can't play 1080p videos at all.
You could try and wait and load a good chunk of the video before streaming it or use a program like MacTubes to actually download YouTube content and watch it directly from your eMac without streaming it.
You may find these latter procedures may help make the experience of watching videos on your eMac a better experience.

I've noticed this especially when I youtube or video stream for a while. Switching between tabs takes 3-4 seconds. Definitely a memory leak! Is it a general problem or addon specific?

Also, when I try to close firefox and restart it, the process doesn'y get killed with the normal Command + Q in Mac.
I need to use Force Quit instead.

Try updating Flash. You appear to be running an older version dating from September 2010 which might be the cause of the problem. Download from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If the problem persists after updating, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

In the newest firefox - when on youtube watching videos, I no longer see the streaming bar (lighter red) indicating the video has been downloaded. Any ideas why?

I have just upgraded to the latest firefox.
I have a problem streaming videos on youtube. Typically, when you stream a video on youtube, you can see on the "timebar", that the video is being downloaded shown in a lighter red, with the solid red the indicating which of the video you're already at.
However, in the latest version firefox, I longer see the streaming (lighter red) on the timebar, so I have no idea how much it has downloaded/streamed. I have updated my flash etc...but doesn't solve the problem. Can anybody help? Thanks!

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

Youtube streaming on IPhone 4. Unwatchable video stuttering. Audio continues to play flawlessly. Video is completely buffered. Fix?

Hi there,
I've been having issues streaming Youtube videos on my IPhone 4 for awhile now, but it just recently escalated. Videos stutter like crazy right from the beginning, even on 360p or 240p. The video is buffered. The audio continues to play flawlessly, even when the video is moving at 1-2FPS. My connection on my IPhone is a solid 25Mbps down and 10Mbps up. I've tried closing all other apps, soft-resetting, restarting the Youtube app, and even watching video on the Youtube mobile site. The issue also seems to extend to all streaming video viewable on my IPhone over the internet, regardless of the website. This has only been an issue since iOS7.
Please help in any way you can.
Regards,
Ryan

Any suggestions or advice anyone may have is much appreciated!

Youtube (generally streaming video)

Hi.
I have a problem streaming video from youtube (and other similar websites).
When i try to play a video it sometimes does not work or when i am lucky works EXTREMELY slowly.
If i unplug the airport and simply connect directly to the internet the problem vanishes.
My ISP is Clearwire.
Any help would be appreciated.

if there are other networks on your channel, or on an adjacent channel (channel number same as your +/- 1), then you can try changing to a channel that is in a clearer area
altering mtu didn't help, but it is possible that changing some of the other tcp/ip parameters could improve things
if you aren't familiar with command-line methods of doing it, there are a number of freeware/shareware tools that allow you to adjust parameters
this is a commercial one ($30), but it has a free trial period so you can see if it helps you identify any useful parameter changes...

Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

The streaming video freeze down very frequently,e.g youtube videos.

I can not watch a streaming video uninterruptedly. It freezes down very frequently for 10-20 seconds and then again starts working.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
