All videos load extremely slow

I have the Break app and the YouTube app and all videos load extremely slow on my ipod touch 5g. It makes it not worth trying to load any videos. I'm currently at work and the wireless here is limited to 1mb. But I have my ipod touch 3g sitting right next to me and it loads at the expected speed (based on the bandwidth cap here). Is the video quality increased automatically, sucking more bandwidth? I can't find any settings to change the quality though. This makes viewing videos not even worth trying.
I'm going to do some tests tonight when I get home which has a 8mbps average download for wired so my wireless won't be limited at all.
Anyone else experiencing any slowness isssues with videos?

Internet videos are becoming more bloated all the time.
Many things can affect it though.
So we know more about it...

Videos load extremely slow

I just bought this MBP a month ago. Anytime I try and watch videos, whether it's on youtube, facebook, yahoo or anywhere else they take forever to load. My internet isn't the fastest but I used to have a 2007 macbook and I never had this problem. Now with much better hardware on the new MBP, I'm completely baffled as to why videos are loading so slowly. I use the latest version of Firefox. I can't find any helpful topics online and If I can't figure something out I will have to call apple tech support.

Video sharing extremely slow over network

Hi Everyone, I've had a quick search through the forums to try and see if anyone has been having the same problems with me when trying to share videos (music videos, tv shows, movies etc) over a network. In itunes 7.5 I used to have no problems sharing my music or videos, now it seems like the videos are extremely slow to stream or simply won't stream at all The library shows up and music streams perfectly, but videos just seem to take forever to load, if they even load at all! As you can imagine this is a little annoying, especially if I want to sit in my theatre room with my mac mini and watch a movie streamed from my macbook pro. I've tried changing the network on my mac mini from its usual cabled network connection to using the airport, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Has anyone else suffered with similar issues, and if so, is there any way to resolve them?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Oliver

You already made that point. The issue is that is not helpful if you want to use Front Row and/or a Mac as a media centre. Your workaround is fine but it is klunky. The one suggested of downgrading to QT 7.3.1 is elegant but very slow as unless you can get Pacifist to work (which I could not) it means an archive and reinstall of Leopard, and downloading all the patches again with the crucial exception of QuickTime. The good news is that Leopard does this much, much better than any previous Mac OS X and all your settings and even third party preferences should work fine. The 7.3.1 installer is still available online of you Google "QuickTime 7.3.1 Leopard". This will work perfectly unless you are renting movies.
So, the choice is klunky, or an hour or so of re-installing.

Video loading too slow

Hi,
I've added some video to my Captivate7 module. The video loads too slow, so by the time it comes on the timeline has already past all the vital parts.
The module was generated in SWF, which is what is required by my customer.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Jake

Reduce the size of the video, or increase the size of your end user's bandwidth.

Since downloading 7.0.2 videos are extremely slow. Any ideas?

Since downloading 7.0.2 videos are extremely slow. Any ideas?

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

YouTube - loading extremely slow!

YouTube videos are loading extremely slow! This happens if I am connected to WiFi or 3G. They use to load a lot faster when I first bought my device.

Since you're in the EU it seems, I won't recommend turning off IPv6... a general fix otherwise.
Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply.
You can also add them to your Router.

Youtybe and other browser videos load super slow on my iphone

Have anyone come across the problem when your youtube and other browser videos loads super slow. It is really frustrating and even the samsung galaxy s 2 loads faster than my iphone 5
I don't if this is only on iphone 5 or other apple products so if you have a solution for please tell me
and iphone 5-ios6 seems to have so many problems such as battery degeneration, purple flare and pixelated camera, maps , alarm clock and many other more
Thankyou for you solutions...

I am experiencing this issue also, and it seems to be specific to wifi only. Both the app and website produce the same slow loading video. Also, oddly enough, cellular will load faster despite it's slower speed. It was rumored that Safari's cache had something to do with it (being that wifi causes the videos to load in high definition/high quality). If you clear your cache (settings, safari, and clear history and clear cookies and data), it temporarily fixes the issue. However, this will only get you through 1 or 2 videos before it returns. Others have tried using different DNS settings (the DNS of your ISP or opendns), but it never seemed to work for me. Still, many others have suggested running your router in WEP mode, which may have had some affect.
Try all the suggestions and see if it improves.
I also forgot to mention that wifi speed on every other use outside youtube is fine.

All Google Services Extremely Slow to Load

I use iGoogle as my home page and it along with all other google services (maps etc.) are extremely slow to load (30+ seconds to open). All other web sites load at regular and quick speed. It has been happening for about a week. Tried resetting home page and restoring to a previous home page version and using regular google (not igoogle) as home page and nothing works. I use Comcast as my ISP with an Airport Extreme directly connected to the Imac. Anyone have any idea? I saw some limited reference to slow google may be caused by DNS settings but not sure.

Problem Resolved. Tried to manually change DNS setttings on Airport Extreme Router and Network Utility to commonly used Comcast DNS address in my area. The settings were saved but did not resolve the issue. Did a factory default restore on the Airport and when I set it up again it automatically took the same commonly used DNS address that I had tried to manually input and now all google services load quickly.

RENDER VIDEO is extremely slow

When select File/Render Video the Dialog box is extremely slow. It might take 5+ minutes for the dialog box to appear. When trying to change any settings it might take another 5+ minutes for PS to think. Just spinning cursor and no action. I checked the task Manager, PS is taking only 10-12% of CPU time and only 274 MB of memory. When working with big PS files it would take all allowable memory: 10GB
System info:
Windows 8
Intel i7 quad CPU
16GB memory
PS CC 2014.1
Is there a PS settings/Preferences for Video?

Just joking: PS is trying to make you become aware of something like "Geez, this is no task for PS. Video editing and rendering belongs to After Effects or Premiere. PS is totally overloaded...shutdown...malfunction...help!"
Seriously, depending on what you want to render, you can expect to wait very long. You probably want to render a video of a 3D object rotating, but even AE is better for 3D rendering than Photoshop.

Videos are extremely slow when trying to view them

Here is the situation. I have been posting course material for over a year now, and everything had been working fine. Over the last week, any video that I try to view from our iTunes U site is taking at least 5 minutes to play, when I double click on the video I get the loading bar, the videos that are less than 30 minutes long take between 5 - 8 minutes to play, the ones that are over 30 minutes take between 10 - 15 minutes to play. This had never happened before, and the weird thing is that I can go to any other iTunes U site and view videos that are two hours long and it takes less than a minute to play. So I know its not my network bandwidth or I wouldn't be able to view other sites. I use an iMac with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of Ram, bought specifically for iTunes U administration. I don't know what else to do. Any help or advice will be truly appreciated.

I have also found our iTunes U site extremely slow for the past few weeks. It also took a long, long time to log into Admin. But at least for us, there has been a noticeable change (for the better) in the last few days.

Full screen Flash video is extremely slow

I have a 2010 27" iMac with an ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card. Full screen Flash video (e.g., Hulu) is extremely slow and choppy on it (4-5 frames per second). Full screen Quicktime or HTML5 video is fine. On my previous iMac (2008, 24", NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS), full screen Flash video is smooth as silk. I realize my current video card is low- to mid-range, but should that really matter? I'm not sure if this is a video card issue, or something else. Here's a list of other things I've tried:
Other web browsers
Uninstalled and reinstalled the current version Flash
Uninstalled and reinstalled an older version of Flash
Installed Shockwave
Disabled hardware acceleration
Reinstalled Mac OS X Snow Leopard
As much as Apple wants to distance itself from Flash, I would be really shocked if a modern iMac was incapable of doing what a 3-year old iMac could do effortlessly. Anyone else have any ideas, or do I just need to upgrade my video card?

in youtube one can choose various level of resolutions
like hd or sd and the hd's are in various levels of high resolutions
if performance is the issue the first place I would look would be the resolution of
the set stream

RAW picture previews loading extremely slow since IOS 8 using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

Hi all
First, sorry for my poor english, I hope you understand my problem.
Device is iPad Air Wi-Fi with IOS 8.
I just realized this issue yesterday. I wanted to import some of my RAW pictures from my Nikon camera's SD card, using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit. In the Photos app / Import tab, the RAW picture previews show extremely slow. It takes a second to show each photo preview before import. A second for every single picture preview
For example, if you have 500 pictures on your SD card, and you want to import pictures from this card but just some selected, then you need to wait for an overview preview a lot of minutes. On IOS 7 this process was maybe 10 seconds for all of the pictures...

Same problem here. As a professional wedding photographer, sifting through my photos while on the go is the reason for me purchasing the iPad (Retina) 2 years ago, I now have an $800 paperweight after iOS8.x.x. Apple, if you actually read these, please inform your engineers to fix this in the next update or at least provide us with a solution to return to iOS7.x.x. Makes me wonder if there is any QA or testing that goes on before an update is released. As an FYI, here's my thread from a few weeks ago: Native Photos App, Slow... No, I mean really slow.

ALL HTTPS SITES LOAD EXTREMELY SLOW - WHY?

I am running windows xp + firefox 17 - any https site loads very slowly , while in other browsers no problem at all.

If you reset Firefox or otherwise cleared the cache/preferences, the SPDY setting may have been saved/stored. You can try to '''Clear Now''' the '''Cache''' and '''Site Preferences''' with '''Time range to clear''' set to '''Everything''' via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History] and check each time after enabling and disabling.

Why does YouTube video load so slow in Safari

When I go to YouTube to look at any video with Safari ( 5.1.7 ) on my iMac the video never loads up correctly. I try to pause the video to let it load up but the video won't pause right away. Then I get the spinning beach ball. The video will not play until the entire page is loaded and the video has to be loaded before it will play correctly. This has been going on for at least four or five months. Now if I use Firefox ( 4.0 ) there is no problem at all. I don't want to use Safari for everything and then use Firefox just to look at YouTube. Anybody have any clues or answers?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Web pages loading EXTREMELY slow

It takes FOREVER for any web page to load (we're talking like several minutes even to load Google search), but it shows I have full signal strength. However, my husband's MacBook is functioning fine as well as his PC which all use the same network. I have an AirPort and AirPort extreme. I've even tried directly connecting to the AirPort extreme to see if that would help the speed problem, and it did--but only for a few minutes. After that, it displayed the same problems as before--MIND-BENDINGLY SLOW page load. I've cleared the cache, history, renew DHCP, reset the router... everything I can think of and still to no avail.
This all started happening after I was using my MacBook to connect my XBox360 to the internet and had to change some of the MacBook settings. I have since restored all the settings and turned off Internet Sharing.
I took it to the Genius Bar, twice, and they said it has to be my network, because it connects and loads pages at lightning speeds when I'm on the Apple Store network. Ugh. This is sooo frustrating and has basically rendered my mac useless.
Ideas?

Here are a couple things you can try:
1) If possible, bypass your router, and connect directly to your cable/dsl modem.
2) Try a different DNS (domain name server). This can resolve the problem if the slowness stems from looking up (i.e. "contacting") the web server. You are probably currently using the DNS of your ISP. Since your husband is not experiencing the problem, this might be a stretch, but still worth a shot. You can try OpenDNS (https://www.opendns.com/start/)
