Choppy Video Playback with new update 7.5.0.20

Well, here we go again. This latest itunes update is not up to snuff. My video playback has hit rock bottom.. And worst of all, my cpu usage is thru the roof. What the heck dude. You know, I talk to my buddies that own MACS, and of course they never have a problem with their freakin itunes. This has happened before, about a year ago. You can check the video reviews on Battlestar Galactica. I uninstalled and reinstalled, and NADA!!! Same ol' crappy playback. This was not an issue with the previous version. I even performed a system maintenace on my laptop just to make sure the CPU vents weren't clogged with dust. I know that Apple would prefer that the whole world owned a freakin MAC; but for Pete's sake, I am paying them to download content!!!!Paying!!!!!!! Give me something I can look forward to. Dread is what I feel everytime they announce one of their cute updates.

Me too. All I get is audio and a green screen when i try to play a video(that i *paid for* in some cases). I asked a question here a year ago and have yet to get an answer to!

Choppy video playback with airplay from Macbook Pro

I experience very choppy video using airplay towards my Airplay unit (3rd gen).
I am using a Macbook Pro (15" retina, late 2013 version) with these specifications:
- Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz.
- 16 GB ram.
- 768 GB flash/SSD.
...and so on. I have the Mavericks OS installed (10.9.1).
When I duplicate or extend the screen of the computer to my Apple TV it is chopping EXTREMELY much. I am not talking a little bit - but it is not even watchable. I thought that it could be the router itself as the connection is (probably, correct me if I am wrong anyone) is directed from the computer - to the router - and then to the Apple TV, which could make the router like a filter in the process. And if something would prevent the signal from reaching the Apple TV with "full speed" it could prevent the actuall image.
However, when I am using the iPhone 4S and streaming video (both video found in my phone as well as streamed TV from apps such as Magine.com) the image flows completely flawless. There are not even a touch of lagging. It flows perfect, just as watching a movie directly on the TV.
The networking hardware in the phone is slower than in the Macbook Pro retina (late 2013) - both for sending and recieving data. But still... my iPhone works better than the Macbook Pro for the Apple TV. Even though that the processing, memory, graphic and networking power is probably a thousand times faster in the computer... it still performs really bad.
I have followed some discussion threads here (https://discussions.apple.com/message/22051725#22051725 and https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5734226?tstart=0 just as a couple of examples). I have accessed my router (Netgear Gigabit EVG 2000) and increased the Wireless mode to "up to 270 Mbps. I have also followed the previously linked threads and disabled the WMM (in the QoS-section). I felt that this made a little bit of a difference...
...when I am mirroring the screen and scale down the resolution to match the AirPlay screen (full-HD, 1920 x 1080) it works okay, but still chops quite a bit almost all the time. But if I extend the screen and want to watch TV at the same time as I am doing something else on the computer - then it chops so that it is not even possible to watch.
This have to be something either with the Mavericks OS or with my network settings - can anyone help me...? It would mean A LOT!

Curious why you think it would be my network when the same network is being used by the iPad 3rd Gen and iPhone 5 and they both stream without issue. As far as the other items you mentioned, all devices are up-to-date with the latest firmware/software and the latest MacBooks do not have ethernet ports. Speedtests that I have conducted also indicate that bandwidth is not the issue as the results show that the speeds received from the router are quite impressive.

Choppy video playback with FCP 6 and 5D footage already converted to Aplle ProRes 422

I am trying to edit a film I shot on the Canon 5D using FCP 6. I converted my raw files from the Canon 5D to Apple ProRes (HQ) .
But as I try to work on the timeline everything is super choppy and drops frames constantly. I am trying to sync audio as well and it's been impossible since the video in not playing properly.
I have read many post and did everything you say to do, but no luck.
I have chosen the unlimited RT and still dosent wanna play right.
I'm editing off a 1TB G-RAID drive. It currently has 200GB left of free space, so that shouldn't slow things down. My computer has a 500GB Internal Hard Drive and I currently have 250GB of internal free space. Here are the specification of my computer:

THis should be a powerful computer, at least thats what I tough when i got it. There has to be a solution to my frustration..please help!!!

You could have a problem with your external drive. Run diskutility: diskrepair and diskwarrior (if you've got it) on it Is it formatted macosextended?   You might run a drive speed test and see if the drive is running up to spec.
Try copying one file to your internal drive and see if that plays any better.
Have you tried deleting your fcp preferences? (get preference manager from www.digitalrebellion.com)
Are you just monitoring the video on the computer screen?
You might try resetting your window arrangement in fcp; window: arrange: standard and see if that makes a difference.
Is playback uneven on both viewer and canvas in fcp?
I'd go out and buy a 7200 Sata drive and install it internally and try playing off of that. MacPro's have 4 internal drive bays and it's extremely easy to install another drive.

Choppy Video Playback with 3GS

I just purchased a 3GS and am having trouble with many of my videos. I have about 100 videos that all play fine on my 3G (and in iTunes), but when I try to play them through my 3GS, most of them freeze. Actually, the video plays for a few seconds and then freezes, while the audio keeps going. It never corrects itself. I tried restoring and re-syncing, but the problem stays. I also tried restoring and resyncing my old 3G to see if the problem is iTunes or the videos, but the 3G still works perfect.
Also, not every video has a problem, only about 50%. Anyone have any ideas?

If these are videos you processed yourself, I've seen the same. Turns out there is new software with settings for the 3GS, so I suspect the change in video hardware from the 2G and 3G is the issue. I've reprocessed a couple of mine using a program called Videora video converter and then they work fine. YMMV.
BTW .. I'm the one who posted about the green bar.

Try transcoding to garden variety Pro Res for great quality, much smaller files, and less strain on your system.

Sync your device manually
If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.)
You can manually sync music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and iTunes U lessons. You can’t manually sync photos and info (contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and so on).
Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
Click the Summary button and select “Manually manage music and videos” (below Options).
Click the On This Device button.
Click Add To on the right side of the iTunes window.
Drag items from the left side of the iTunes window to the pane on the right. To add other types of content, choose a category from the Library pop-up menu.
Click Done.
If you use automatic syncing, you can also add items to your device by dragging. To drag items to an automatically synced device, follow the instructions above, but skip step 2.

How to fix choppy video playback on Windows Surface Tablet

Choppy video playback is driving me crazzzy. How can I fix it?

If you're using Internet Explorer, there is nothing you can do here in the way of reinstalling, repairing or even updating it.
Microsoft embeds it and it's "their baby".
You can try repairing IE: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378
Also, make sure it's porperly enabled: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448

Apart from that, streaming issues are connectivity related if they persist.

Choppy video playback via Airplay Mirroring

I have an early/mid 2011 15" MBP with a quad-core i7 and Mountain Lion installed. When I use Airplay to stream video from my MBP through my AppleTV 2 to my TV set, the video is very choppy and laggy sometimes. I use either Quicktime or VLC. Everything is running via wifi from my ISP modem/router through an Apple Time Capsule. If anyone could help me out, that would be great, thanks!

Cannot see Cookies with new update of firefox. 
I recently updated firefox, but when I look on the PRIVACY window, where 
websites store cookies, I am no longer able to see any cookies that 
are being stored, and I am not able to delete the cookies as soon as I leave 
their site, as I had been doing for a long time prior to updating. 
So I am wondering where the heck are the cookies being stored now, with the 
new update? I like to be able to delete their cookies immediately, and 
I also wonder why firefox does not make it much easier for us to see 
all the cookies and delete them with one click, instead of having to 
use the <<TOOLS<<OPTIONS<<PRIVACY way of looking at and deleting cookies. 
The option to delete the cookies when firefox closes is not as efficient 
and I will get tracked until I close firefox, and I prefer to not be tracked 
so I like to just delete their cookies as soon as I am no longer using their 
site anymore.

Download the full version of the software then shift click the restore button. This will ask you where the firmware files are. Once you point to the firmware then you can install the official version

Hi- My Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7 yesterday. My phone is dead and wouldnt power up ..have tried resetting using itunes but i doesnt detect the phone and..pressing sleep/home button doesnt do anything

Update
I guess that it just had a bad connecting port on the phone itself, no clue why it wouldn't work when plugged in both ways other than there is actually some differentiating between the two sides.

CHOPPY video playback of videos taken with Kodak Zi8 using Quicktime 7

I've tried everything I possibly could (hence joining this forum), but for some reason, my laptop OR desktop computers will NOT play the videos taken with my Kodak Zi8 portable HD video camera, without the videos being dark, and EXTREMELY CHOPPY, using the Quicktime 7 player! Both computers are very capable of playing HD video (720P), so that's not the problem. I can use VLC Media Player, or the media player that came with the Kodak Zi8 (Media Impression media player), and the playback is extremely smooth & bright, even at FULL SCREEN. I thought it had something to do with "h.264", but Apple says that codec is part of QT7. Any suggestions? I greatly appreciate it! Thanks! : )

I'm having the exact same problem. I have the Kodak Zi8 as it outputs a .MOV file and the result in Quicktime is choppy/stuttery playback. The Fip UltraHD camera does the same thing. I would really like to use quicktime rather than the Impressions player, but for now that's all we can use, and it looks great I just wish Quicktime would look this good. Hopefully we will get a helpul reply on this issue.

Apple TV 2 choppy video playback when mirroring from Macbook Pro (Yosemite) and Macbook Air (Yosemite) but not iOS devices

Video playback is choppy (cuts out every 30-45 seconds) when air playing from both my MacBook Air 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5 running Yosemite and my husbands new MacBook Pro, but runs perfectly when mirroring from any of our iOS devices (iPhone 6+, iPad mini 3, etc.) We have Apple TV 2. This problem just started a few weeks ago, was working fine around Christmas. The problem seems to have coincidentally started right after our son tried plugging in and setting up his Chromecast on our tv. I disconnected the Chromecast, but we still have the problem. All of our software if up to date and I've tried disconnecting blue tooth, we do not have a microwave and our wifi network has a very strong signal. We have an Airport Extreme base station. Is there a solution to our problem?

Hi leahmturner,
I see that you are experiencing an issue with choppiness while AirPlay Mirroring from your computers to your Apple TV. I have an article that contains some helpful troubleshooting steps for you regarding this issue:
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201343
Optimizing image quality
Resolution matching modes
You can choose between two desktop resolution matching modes that let you select which display will have the best image. When AirPlay Mirroring is turned on, select an option under "Match Desktop Size To:" in the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra.
Match Desktop Size To: Apple TV
AirPlay Mirroring changes the desktop resolution to best match your Apple TV, resulting in a 16:9 image that fills the HDTV screen. This setting often produces the sharpest image on the HDTV. The aspect ratio and/or resolution of the built-in Mac display may change to accommodate the Apple TV.
Match Desktop Size To: This Mac
AirPlay Mirroring scales the contents of the desktop to fit on the Apple TV, leaving the resolution of your Mac's display unchanged. Use this setting for the sharpest image on your Mac's display. Depending on your Mac model, the resulting image may not fill the HDTV screen.
Troubleshooting AirPlay Mirroring
If you don't see mirroring options
If your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network, but no AirPlay Mirroring menu appears, your Apple TV may be asleep. Simply press a button on your Apple TV remote to wake it up. After a few seconds, the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra appears. If you still don't see the options you expect, make sure your Apple TV has the current software update installed. Also make sure that you have the "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" option selected in the Displays pane of System Preferences.
If the menu bar or Dock is cropped
Some HDTVs have bezels that cover a small percentage of the screen. This can result in a slight cropping of a full-resolution HDTV image. Depending on the HDTV model, AirPlay Mirroring may automatically adjust the picture size to prevent cropping. If you are using OS X Mountain Lion or later, and you see cropping of the menu bar or Dock when using AirPlay Mirroring, toggle the Overscan correction option in Displays preferences.
Minimize video post-processing
HDTVs often apply picture quality enhancements intended to improve the look of film and video sources. In some cases, these enhancements can lead to over-sharpening artifacts when displaying your Mac desktop. Some HDTV models have built-in settings to change or disable the enhancements for use with a computer (computer, presentation, or game modes). Otherwise, the controls for sharpness, detail enhancement and noise reduction can be used to optimize the appearance of the Mac desktop. Consult your HDTV’s manual for guidance on the appropriate settings for use with a computer.
Firewall security settings
If you use a firewall, make sure the following firewall security options have been set to allow AirPlay Mirroring to work:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu ().
Click Security & Privacy, then click Firewall.
Click the lock icon to unlock it if it's locked, then type an administrator name and password.
Click Firewall Options.
Deselect (uncheck) the “Block all incoming connections” checkbox.
Select (check) the “Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections” checkbox.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden
