After Mountain Lion install, internet videos stop playing back after only a few seconds. Multiple browsers are affected.

After I installed Mountain Lion, videos streamed from the internet will stop playback after a few seconds of play. Multiple browsers are being affected.

I have this same problem, and I did a clean installation.
Hardware:
2009 MacBoook Pro 17" 3.06 C2D; 4 GB RAM, 256 Apple SSD
While loading the browser is quick starting up, I notice a delay to open any website, like it's preloading the entire page versus just loading. Safari seems like it's a bit sluggish overall with loading web pages.
Did a internet speed test and my U/D rates are the same after the upgrade.

I'm just downloaded the creative cloud installer. Double click on the install file, it starts the installation and after only a few seconds it stops and nothing happens. What is going on?

why does the cloud installer quit after only a few seconds of install?

I am having the same problem. Sorry I don't know an answer but would love help too.
I'm on a Mac - OSX10.9.3
Downloaded installer which opened to the point that I had the icon in my toolbar but it seemed to get stuck at that point - about 7 hours of scrolling "update cycle" (swirly thing in middle of the empty CC window) but no App tab or other tabs - just a white rectangle with scrolling.
So I tried un-installing, deleted all files, downloaded again but now I get the same as Scrapnick - installer launches with task bar at "Initializing Installer" which lasts only about 2 seconds, then flicks to "Dowloading Creative Cloud desktop" at which point the task bar & the installer window close.
I hope someone can help us with this...

Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
To close apps: Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
To solve internet problem, contact your provider. Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies. Your router may be old and slow.

After Mountain Lion install some software stopped working

Besides some software not working Mission control will not work. I have no way to switch between desktops. I am thinking about doing a reformat and starting over.

Then you need to purchase a copy of Snow Leopard. You cannot install Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion without first erasing the hard drive if you don't have Snow Leopard installed. You cannot reinstall Snow Leopard without a Snow Leopard DVD.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

My music keeps stopping after only a few seconds of playing.

Tried hard reset, which worked temporarily. I don't think it's contaminated files because it stops regardless of source(iTunes, spottily, youtube, etc.) please advise

Hello Thadewd,
Thank you for providing the details regarding the audio issue you are experiencing with your iPhone. If you have tried a reset and it only temporarily worked, the next step is to restore your iPhone. You can find the steps to restore your iPhone in the following article:

HT1725 some of my songs are interrupted, then i 'resume download' but when the songs finally downloads, and i go to play it, the song clips off after only a few seconds

is there any way to delete the album and re-download it? once it's already been compltely downloaded. so many of my songs are only a second or two long because they didnt download properly or something. i've paid for the album so i'd really like to be able to listen to these songs!!!

Hello janefrommb,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You are on the right track, the best troubleshooting step here would be to re-download your purchases. The following article outlines how to do so:

IPod Touch disconnects after only a few seconds

I just bought a iPod Touch yesterday and updated it with the new January software upgrade (Apple Mobile Device 1.1.3.26).
My PC has WinXP Pro with SP 2, iTunes 7.6.0.29 and QuickTime 7.4 installed. I have reinstalled both iTunes and Quicktime in an attempt to resolve this problem.
The problem is that after successfully copying around 10 to 40 songs the device disconnects and the following 2 errors show up:
First error: "The iPod "X" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Second error: "Attempting to copy to the disk "X" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I have restored the iPod Touch to the original settings to see if there was a problem with the device but the issue persists.
I also ran the iPod/iPhone Connectivity Tests from iTunes, the results are below:
|** iPod/iPhone Connectivity Tests **

I have also tried using 2 separate USB 2.0 connections on the PC and the results are the same.
Finally I have an original iPod Nano that syncs fine with the current PC I am using.
I would really like to get this thing working, please help!

I'm not sure getting a Mac will solve this issue. The number of people having similar issues on Macs appears proportionately in line with Win users. Having said that, a switch will certainly result in a more pleasant and vastly more efficient user experience.
If you can get your hands on another usb/iPod cable, you might give it a try. Of the 4 usb/iPod cables in this house, only one is capable of getting my Touch recognized by my G4. To get that one to work it has to go in with a scraping sound/feel to it.
Make sure your drives don't fall asleep. This will generate the error messages you are getting. Though it strikes me as bizarre, I've noted that the sync and update process does not prevent my drives going into sleep mode. When that happens I get either of the error messages you got.
Most important in my case was there were image files that, although worked fine in iPhoto, Graphic Converter and Elements, would consistently cause an aborted sync. I batch resaved about 6,000 image files and have had no syncing problems since then.
I solved connection problems by simply plugging and unplugging the iPod end of the cable until it connects.

HP TouchSmart 23SE d-394; Broadcom Wi-Fi drops connectons after only a few seconds to a minute

Only 6 months old; has had the problem on and off - mostly on - since day 1, but didn't notice as much early as seems to last lots longer when Surface is connected to same wi-fi source at same time, which is how I'm able to stay connected long enough to ask this question.
Using an AT&T broadband anywhere NetGear "MiFi" unit.
Surface Pro 1 stays connected w/ no problem.
Wi-Fi card = Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11abgn 2x2 Wi-Fi Adapter
o/s = Win 8.1, with update
I went into device mgr, checked for latest drivers, and Windows reported best drivers are already present.
Anyone else have this kind of problem? Any ideas?
It's very frustrating, any help or direction would be hugely appreciated.
Thx!
p.s. I only realized that whole "Surface connection" relationship today...

Why does my ipad4 keep on locking even after only a few seconds?

Ipad 4 keeps on locking while using an app

Is it one particular app or any random app? It really helps to be specific when you post your questions. The more information that you can supply, the better your chances are of getting meaningful suggestions.
Try these basic troubleshooting steps first.
Close all apps. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If those things made no difference, try this. Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

My macbook pro has mountain lion installed and it will not play dvds

my hubby's macbook pro has mountain lion installed, and will not play dvd's. It says it is unsupported, I also have a macbook pro but has snow leopard on it, mine will play dvd's. Please help me, I can't figure out why his won't play the same dvd's as mine.

The most frequent problem in an optical drive is a dirty lens. Use a lens cleaning DVD, a few shots of compressed air in the slot or a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglass lens cloth) wrapped around a business card and gently inserted inside the slot. If no success, the Apple store genius bar is the next stop.

Youtube video stops playing after 11 seconds

Mac Pro / Mountain Lion 10.8.2 / Flash 11.4 - YouTube videos stop playing after 11 secs. Only just started happening last week - around time when I installed latest Lion upgrade but this may be a red herring. Tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling with no change. Checked/emptied cache.

There are several topics with similar symptoms, but I don't think anybody has found an answer yet, as it only occurs on some few systems.
What I would try if I encountered the same problem:
try disable Hardware Acceleration (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337)
try update the graphics drivers (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765)

Why do some YouTube videos stop playing after a short time?

Since sometime in October, 2013, I have noticed that more and more YouTube videos stop playing within a minute of starting. Most that stop do so in 15 or 16 seconds. The playing stops because the download stops. I watch this on a network activity monitor I always have running. Not all videos do this, but the problem is becoming more and more frequent. Some videos which played correctly for me in the recent past are now exhibiting this problem.
Other than installing the latest Firefox updates I have NOT changed the software on my machine. I run Linux by the way. I do not think this is a Linux problem because (1) it was all working before and (2) my son who runs both Mac OS X *and* Windows is also seeing the same problem. We both use Firefox as our browser on all our platforms.
I should also note that I am NOT seeing this problem with any of the other video websites I use, only when I go to YouTube. That leads me to believe that the problem is not in Firefox; if it were it should affect videos from all websites.
Additionally the problem occurs whether or not I log into YouTube.
I have not run Firefox in safe mode because all the extensions I use did not affect the download of Videos before, so I don't expect unchanged extensions to suddenly start causing problems.
So, anyone else see this problem? (There was another note which talked about the same problem but it was disabled.)
Also -- pardon my paranoia, but -- I need to ask: Since YouTube is owned by Google and Google has its own browser it wants you to use, Chrome, is it possible that Google is intentionally causing some YouTube videos to fail if it sees that they are being sent to Firefox?
(That is not so outlandish I think. Microsoft WAS at one point caught mangling web pages going to certain web browsers other than IE. And these days Google wants to dominate the Internet just as badly as Microsoft does, so why not pull dirty tricks too?)
If this keeps happening I am going to have to try Google's Chrome to see if it somehow manages to play YouTube videos correctly while Firefox does not. But I really do NOT want to install Chrome because I trust Google about as much as I trust Microsoft, which is to say Not At All.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
There have been some issues with Flash 11 in the recent past. This could be a manifestation of that issue. Kindly check this response below to see if this helps you in viewing Flash videos.
Also, if you want to check if this is a flash problem and specifically on youtube, you can try the HTML5 version of Youtube. In this, there are no plugins involved, and the browser natively renders the videos. You can signup for the HTML5 trial by visiting http://youtube.com/html5. Please try that and check if the issue goes away.
Also, in this case, Google might not be doing anything sinister - they generally try to be standards compliant too. You can definitely try installing Google Chrome and test this issue, but we definitely would want you to continue to be a Firefox user :)

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
<hr>
Also, try this one too
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]
