A buffering problem that is driving me nuts!

Hello everyone. First of all I should thank all those who help me in solving this problem. I've updated my flash player to the latest one but have some annotying problems with it. When I pause a video, the buffer goes on and there's no problem; however, as soon as I hit the Play button, the buffer stops, and the time bar sooner orlater catches up with the buffer bar and the result is a disappoiting stop and choppiness in the course of video streaming. I tried the following measures but achieved no result:
1. Reinstalling the latest flash player
2. Deleting all the caches including the browser cach, internet cach, and flash player cach
3. Increasing the virtual memory to the upmost extent possible (1024 MB)
4. Isolating the stream from any other bandwith usage
5. Increasing the size of buffer to "unlimited"
6. Disabling hardware enhancement
7. Decreasing the video size
Please note that I've tried different browsers and different sites and always got the same result.I use win8 pof. 64x. My internet download speed is about 300 kb/s.
I highly appreciate your guidlines.
Thank You

Hi people
Regarding the afore-mentioned issue, I tried two solutions and got the desirable result. First, for those users who have to use proxies (Like me! from Iran), try to change your proxy server since some servers are not compatible with online streaming. Second, (Idon't know if it's related!), install the latest version of Java along with Adobe Flash plugin. It's done the trick for me.

Stupid little problem that is driving me nuts

All I did was to change the normal colour of a link. In iWeb it displays properly, but publish it and it shows as the old normal colour. Checked file attributes of the file in my publish folder and they're as they should be. Visit the site via iWeb on the local drive or uploaded to my site and it still shows the old normal colour. Only in iWeb does it display the new colour.
All other modifications are there and working. Other link colour changes have not been a problem.
www.hooked4life.ca -- it's the link at the very bottom of the home.html page. It should be the same orange as the mailto: link, instead of grey.

Thanks for the reply.
I had already used the link > format to change the colour of this and other links.
Emptying the browser cache made no difference on my system, nor did reloading the page, nor did visiting the published page inside of iWeb. Grey everywhere. Other orange links work just fine, but not this one.
I'll check on my XP machine after waiting for the 15 minute bootup.

I have a tiny problem that is driving me mad. When I am playing an album in iTunes using cover flow view (with the playlist beneath the artwork picture) the picture is exactly above the album title. All is symmetrical. When I switch to full screen display, the artwork moves a couple of inches to the left and the display is therefore asymmetrical. Why and how do I correct it? It would drive you mad to.
Thanks for any help,
Graham

I was having the same problem, but tried the "Top Button + Home Button" reset and that did work for me. My unofficial guess is that perhaps RAM caches get filled through daily use of various apps leaving no memory for cover flow. Resetting the phone on the phone itself seems to reset that RAM. I can't say it's a cure-all, but it solved my issue. Hope this helps.

Things that are driving me nuts in Lion

There are numerous little things that are driving me nuts in Lion and I decided to list them all in this one annoying thread rather than start a bunch of annoying threads. Maybe some of you have found solutions, maybe some of these things bug only me, but here they are. Feel free to chime in with your own items that are driving you nuts...
WIth multiple tabs open in Safari, clicking on a tab causes the page to reload from scratch instead of the page being cached
I really miss having double scroll arrows on the top and bottom of windows
Downloaded installers do not automatically launch and mount as in previous OS X versions
Can't find a way to specify where to download a file to on the fly when clicking on a link in Safari. other than the downloads folder or another default folder
Scrolling in general has become more difficult and less precise. I literally could not scroll down my list of mail messages to find an email I was looking for earlier
ICO (custom web page icons) disappear and revert to generic
That's all I can think of off the top of my head, I know there's more. I know some of this stuff will just take getting used to, but some of it sure seems like a step backwards......

Yes I've had a few little things annoy me too - but the MOST annoying thing (so far... 24 hours in!) is that itunes now seems to stop streaming to my express as soon as my screen saver comes on - ie: I have itunes going all day usually, just streaming to my speakers in another room that are connected to an airport express. This is all this AE is for... and under Snow Leopard there was never any stopping of music because my imac went to sleep, but now, even as soon as a screen saver comes on, the music stops. I don't *really* want to disable screensaver and get the imac to be 'awake' all the time, but I can't seem to find a workaround - anyone else?

Can someone help with an audio problem that is driving me crackers!!

hi, i have seen lots of comments about windows sound issues, my problem is it sometimes says i have speakers installed and they are working (but have no sound) and other times (when i turn it back on) it says no device installed/not plugged in etc.... now i know from reading previous posts this is an issue for loads of people, my question really is, can i use speakers that connect via usb rather than 3.5mm jack, and does anyone think this will make any difference? my dad has suggested fitting a new sound card? will that sort it out, have only had my pc for a week, and it is under warranty but i have to pay the postage to return it (not bought from a shop directly if that makes sense) i have to date spent about 8 hours googling, reinstalling drivers, everything you could possibly think off and nothing has changed!!!! speakers work as have tried them in my DS and the front headphone jack is not working either i have installed windows updates and read somewhere that might be an issue? is there any point doing a system restore and if so how will that work, and will the photos i have uploaded still be saved if i restore to apoint before they were put on? sorry but im not very technically minded!!
please help me as im slowly going grey!!! i have a pavilion p6203

I know you must be very frustrated with the sound issue. It sounds like you've done a lot of research and leg work to figure out what the problem is with little success. I would not restore the system unless you have backup copies of anything you downloaded (just in case) As I read....you've uninstalled drivers and rebooted to reinstall and downloaded updates to Win 7 Have you reviewed all the suggestions at the attached Link? I can't explain why the headphones connection does not work but maybe go look at your main sound setup in control panel to see if there is an issue with the settings there? Look to see if there is something going on inside the "Hardware and Sound" icon. These are guesses as I can't understand as well why you've not hit on the appropriate solution. Let me know when you solve this issue what it was. Regards

Problem that is driving me mad

So this weekend a problem begins. I cannot "unlock" the phone by sliding the bar at the bottom, but it will unlock if I slide the bar and press the bottom button. Please forgive me if I don't know the names of the buttons, but it's the round one under the screen. This wouldn't be so bad in and of itself, but I CANNOT answer incoming calls if the screen is blank, because I have to slide the bar AND push the button, and then I lose the call. I am also unable to answer calls using the button on my bluetooth. If anyone had had a similar problem, please let me know
thanks,
Brandi

this is a software glitch...try resetting your phone by holding downt eh sleep/wake button and the home button (the one below the screen)...hold those until you see the apple logo...then your iphone will restart...
if that doesn't work, then do a restore through itunes...it will erase everything and then reinstall the software (a fresh version of it)...that should do the trick
if not then goto your local Apple store (but set up an appoint me first goto www.apple.com/retail/ and then select your store to set up a genius appointment) they will help you out...they want to make it right

A wifi problem that is driving me potty

This problem is common to both the iPhone and iPad but I will post it here.
I have 4 Edimax 7416APN Wireless Access Points. One works perfectly, but the other three exhibit the following behaviour -
I can connect from a desktop or laptop with no problem, indeed I have connected 7 different computers to all three of the WAPs. However, when it comes to an iPhone or iPad I get "incorrect password" if I set a WPA password, but it works fine with a WEP password. I have demonstrated this problem with 4 iPhones and 3 iPads.
I will have a problem convincing my supplier that although I can connect to them successfully with 7 computers I have apparently got 3 faulty units. Can anyone shed any light on this, and I don't think it is the same problem as the "incorrect password" thread elsewhere on this forum.

do they each have a distinct name? Perhaps you are trying to connect to a different ap than you think. Have you tried each of them individually?

I only ever have one powered on at a time, because it is already so confusing I don't want to complicate it. Also, I have reproduced this behaviour in 3 distinct physical locations.

Wifi / Video chat problems that are driving me crazy

Hello all!
So here's the story. I bought a Macbook Pro about 4 weeks ago, and from the first day i've turned it on, I've been experiencing a few problems regarding my Macbook's wifi and ability to video chat. Ill address each problem separately
Wifi:
So starting from the first boot up, it seems as if my Macbook Pro doesn't always play well with my network over wifi. After establishing a good connection for at least an hour, web pages will refuse to load, even though airport says I'm connected to the internet and to my network. When i turn airport off and back on, I'm prompted for my network password. When I enter it, it attempts to connect, and i get the message "network timeout". I keep getting this no matter how many times i attempt to reconnect, or restart. I have 2 windows computers (vista and xp) and 2 xboxes that are connected via LAN, and 2 ipod touches, an ipad, an old dell laptop (ubuntu), and a Macbook (snow leopard) that are connected at various times wirelessly. The problem persists no matter what time it is, what day it is, where i am in the house, or what is connected to the network. Some days it will happen 5 times, some days (like today), it has yet to happen, so it's very unpredictable. No other computers, including the Macbook, have this problem. I have yet to test this Macbook Pro on another network. I have searched various forums and tried multiple "network timeout" fixes, only to find myself being disconnected again. The problem does not happen when connected via LAN
Video Chat:
This problem has also happened previously when i attempted to video chat on the previously mentioned Macbook. No matter what client i use to video chat (Ichat, oovoo, etc.), and no matter how I'm connected (WiFi, LAN), the video quality is very bad, and after a few minutes i lose connection (however, i retain a good internet connection). At best it is choppy, and i can barely understand the other person before i get disconnected. I've tried talking to people of various distances, from people in the same city, to my friend in florida, and i keep getting the same problem. My friends say that they're fine when they talk to other people and the quality is very good in comparison to mine, so I'm lost here. The video chat tests, appleu3test01 and 02 are crystal clear for me, while i don't get a response from 03. I figured it was because i was on wifi, since i have problems over wifi (above), but the problem persists even when connected via LAN. My internet sharing is OFF, as well as any other sharing option. I've gotten mediocre results at best doing VoIP tests, however i get stellar results from speed tests. Wired i get 20mb/s down, 5mb/s up, while wireless i get 5mb/s down, 2.5mb/s up, with a ping of 17ms.
Im curious to know if these two problems are related! My blame right now falls on the router or it's settings, but as of right now i really don't know how to go about fixing this.
My ISP is Verizon FiOS, and i must say I've seen a great improvement from when i switched from my local ISP (Time Warner Cable), however through my searching i have seen people run into problems with the macbook pro and Verizon FiOS and their routers. The problem is, I can't simply replace the router, It's used for the TV and DVR streaming and stuff, it had a COAX cable in it.
If it makes a difference, i needed LAN ports in my room, so i took my old Linksys WRT54G router with DD-WRT Firmware, and connected that to the wire that runs from the Actiontec M1424WR into my room, so i can connect my Xbox and my computer via LAN... that could be a possible interference.
I am a college bound 18 year old living with my parents at the moment, so extreme fixes (like switching ISP's) are out of the question for me, but i do have free reign over the router settings and such, so i can try most reasonable things. I LOVE my macbook pro, and don't see myself going back to windows anytime soon, so i want to fix these problems ASAP. I consider myself to have a good knowledge of computers, so lay every possible solution on me!
Thanks in advance!

ok so all day yesterday i didn't have the wi-fi problem, but today I'm struggling to keep a connection. The status bar reads "Contacting website.com", and stays that way until i stop it, or it gets reconnected. I changed the settings mentioned above, but no dice. My router is up to date and everything too.
As for the Video Chatting problem, i didn't know that there was a connection doctor, so i tried that, and i get an amber light for "router type", and it says "port restricted". I searched around for a bit, and found somebody who said disabling the firewall on the router helps. I did that, and while i DID notice a significant improvement in video quality and connection quality, i still get an amber light with the message "router type: port restricted. This computers network setup includes one or more devices that are not fully compatible with audio and video chatting.". I still would like to get a green light here, as well as keep my firewall... any suggestions?

USB keyboards and Live CDs - an inconsistency that is driving me nuts

Hello. I tried to boot up my iMac from the LINUX FROM SCRATCH LiveCD to see if I could install that system. When I tried to, it got to the "boot:" prompt but my USB keyboard would not get recognized whenever I tried to boot (yes, I rebooted a few times). I don't have rEFIt on, and Boot Camp didn't partition yet - but with rEFIt and Boot Camp the keyboard would work SOME of the time. Does anyone know what's going on? I thought Apple EFI handled this when it came down to BIOS emulation.
PS - Has anyone ever tried to boot up the Plan 9 from Bell Labs install CD from the iMac? If so, is the fact that it froze after the second text line related to this?

Hello? This is a problem for me! Does anyone have any information?

There is an "add on" called BrowseFox that is driving me nuts.

How do I get rid of it? I've tried SpyBot but that doesn't help.

Driving me nuts: Working with sRGB images for web

Good day ladies and gentlemen, I have a problem that's driving me nuts:
Basically, I want to create a graphic (a logotype) that is going to be used on a website, so I've learned that if I want to create anything for the web, I have to use the monitor color profile instead of the standard sRGB 2.1 because otherwise everything I make in PS will look completely different when opened in a browser or anywhere else, which I learned the hard way.
Now, as long as I only create original content with that kind of color settings - it works. The stuff I make in PS looks the same in a browser. However, as soon as I want to use a photo or in this case a separate graphic with the sRGB color profile - everything starts to fall apart. Everything sRGB I try to import into my non-profiled work turns bleak and with a yellowish tint.
If I change my working color profile to sRGB the photos look like they should, but then instead all my original content will still look completely wrong in a browser or any other application.
I don't believe it HAS to be this way, since there are so many websites that seem to be able to look great and have rich, good-looking photos in them at the same time. I mean, there must be a solution to this problem, no?
I'm using a MacBook Pro (Late 2008) with the 9400M/9600M GT and a Benq EW2430 external monitor over DVI. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Photoshop CS5 with the latest update (12.0.4 I believe?)
Big thanks for any help. It would be greatly appriciated. Let me know if posting any screenshots would help solve the problem.

try this (if you want to)
first highlight the OEM default monitor profile for your monitor in Displays> Color> Display Profile
reboot (and confirm the profile is still highlighted there)
then drag this PhotoDisc tagged sRGB image to your desktop and open it in Photoshop
USE THE EMBEDDED PROFILE (or Edit> Assign Profile: sRGB to be sure)
at that point the color should look correct (exactly as it looks in Safari here - if it doesn't look exactly correct here in Safari, it is because you have a bad monitor profile)
then in Photoshop: Image> Duplicate (to see two same files side by side for a comparison)
then on one image: Edit> Assign Profile (the monitor profile you have loaded in Displays)
be sure to set the profile in the bottom left (see below) so it displays (so we can see them in your screen shot)
THEN TAKE A SCREEN SHOT of the two windows side by side and post it here
(Command+Shift+4 and drag the area you want captured)
If I understand your advice right, you suggest that when I'm creating
stuff for the web, I should always, always use sRGB as my working
space? But then on export I should just not embed the profile, correct?
sRGB is the only color you should ever post on the Internet for web viewing
always CONVERT to sRGB before saving for the web (if it is not already in the sRGB color space) ie, leave that option checked in Save For Web Devices
i think most people don't embed the profile in web images, but this was hit on succinctly above post 13:
There is no true color management on the web. As different browsers offer different types of CM support, the
best that you can do as a designer is to convert to sRGB (if not
already) and save color-critical images with the embedded sRGB profile.
That's the general rule.

Driving me nuts - iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close

Hi all, first time post'er and all of that. I have a problem that is driving me completely insane, and I don't have a solution or workaround. I have upgraded from 6x to 7.02 iTunes and I keep getting the following error, 'iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience". I have a fair amount of music, approximately 45gb. Now, I need to mention here that if I either do a clean install or upgrade (2 machines that were completely wiped and run up merely for the purposes of resolving this) with no iTunes libraries imported, I have no problem. However, if I import my library back in, iTunes has to determine gapless playback information for 8000 songs. At this point, or somewhere in between, it falls over, touting the previously mentioned error message. I can then restart iTunes and we go round and round in circles with the error and gapless playback information. Let me indicate at this point that if I do create new playlists for a completely new or updated iTunes, there is no problem, so I am assuming it has something to do with the size of the library/playlist information. As a re-cap, this is what I have tried so far;
New install of 7.02 with standard library file with no songs - No probs
New install of 7.02 importing library file - error
Upgrade from 6x to 7.02 with standard library file with no songs - No probs
Upgrade from 6x to 7.02 importing library file - error
I would have had absolutely no need to run 7x except for the fact that my mate just bought me a second generation Nano which needs to run on 7x.
Does anyone have a possible solution?

it sounds like the gapless playback analysis is choking on a song file or files.
finding which file is associated with the grief can be a trial. but some folks have been having some success with the technique from the following Roy B post:

About 5 days ago for no apparent reason at all, about
7000 songs which i have collected over a number of
years has just decided that it wont play in ITUNES or
in any other of my media players. When you click on
Play over a song nothing happens. The play icon
doesnt even come up on the screen.
Steps I have taken so far are:
1 - Remove all tracks from ITUNES and then re-add the
folder where all the songs are. This has obviously
removed all songs, but when I have re-added the
folder , it has added about 650 tracks back on to the
playlist. These 650 tracks will play. This leaves
approx 6400 tracks that it wont play.
By the way all the songs on my PC are MP3 type and I
have had no problem playing any of them until last
week.
2 - I have re-installed ITUNES and reinstalled
Quicktime and that has not worked.
3 - All of my songs are backed up on to a External
Hard Drive. I have tried to restore the songs and
also play them directly from the external hard drive.
I get the same problem when I do this.
4 - I have enabled and allowed all permissions for
the account that I am running the PC from.
I am guessing there must be some settnig or Registry
Key that is blocking me playing the tracks from the
PC. I have also tried to launch the songs in Media
Player and Sonic stage but thsi has not played
either.
All the tracks are in the folder structure as they
were before so I know they are there. I just need to
somehow unlock them.......
If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful as
I dont want to lose my entire music collection.
Also I cannot find anyweher on here that is a Support
number or email address for Apple as this is an
ITUNES issue and they should be resolving it for
me!!!!
Thanks
