Help Plays videos for a few seconds then becomes extremely choppy
Hi. I have an old 2GHZ core duo with 2 GB ram. My computer plays videos normally, but after about 20 or 30 seconds, it gets really really choppy and the video starts to refresh going from top to the bottom.
Does anyone have any ideas?

When video performance decreases, a failing graphics card is always a consideration.
What you've posted here could mean the card is failing, but the only way to know is have an Apple tech pop the machine open and inspect the parts.
I've heard other users have issues when their machines reach high temperatures, and an external cooling pad has helped.

Music app stops playing for a few seconds then starts
After updating to lollipop the music app would play for a few minutes then stops for a few seconds then play again, did not have issue with kitkat. Help please.
It's back!!!!!! The problem went away for a few days now same issue. It only happens when I am listening to sound files on the headphones - sudden pause then restart in the middle of playing the sound file, this happens with different music/podcase apps. No issue with bluetooth streaming or speaker phone. So it appears there is a software bug with Lollipop update - never had this problem with KitKat. Factory reset does not fix it. I wish there was a way to revert the phone back to KitKat. Hoping the new Lollipop update would fix this.

When i type in my correct password on the login screen and press enter it just goes to a blue screen for a few seconds then goes back to the same login screen again, please i need help?
You can take some of the steps here, #4, #5 or even trying a #18
Step by Step to fix your Mac
but I suspect your going to first have to create a data recovery drive
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
to get your data off the machine,
then do a #20 to eliminate the bad sectors as that's why your getting the "pinwheel" it's getting a delay reading from the drive, right when your trying to log in too, what a bad spot for it to happen.

Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace -

Purchased song plays for a few seconds then skips.
Purchased song plays for a few seconds then skips. The rest of the songs from the album play fine. Purchased 5 albums at once and all songs play except the one. I've looked for a way to report this and can't locate a link and I was unable to reload the song from the purchased link. I am using Windows Vista and Itunes 10.6.3.5

I had this same thing happen to me. I was using my brand new iphone 5 (texting and listening to music through the speakers) when it flashed the apple logo, stopped my music and brought me to the lock screen.

HT1338 Multiple dvds won't play. Just make spinning noises for a few seconds then ejects.
Multiple dvds won't play. Just make spinning noises for a few seconds then ejects.
Because this is affecting multiple DVD's it suggests a faulty drive. If you were willing to spend a few $ or € and purchase an external optical drive from any electronic shop, that would be a sound diagnostic step to take; possibly a solution and cheaper than replacing the internal drive if counting labour is a factor.

After purchasing an album 4 of the songs play for a few seconds then cut out
i purchased 2 albums off of iTunes and when i went to play the one album 4 of the songs play for a few seconds then cut out.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -
i downloaded an album but one of the songs only plays for a few seconds then skips to the next song. how do i fix this?
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
I just installed iCloud for Windows on my Windows 7 PC, running Outlook 2007 and IE9. I have been dealing with an annoying issue for years with my iOS 6 devices, where I enter a reminder (which is sync'd to my MS Exchange server), and the reminder doesn't show up in Outlook until the day after the due date. I thought installing the iCloud control panel might help this issue. Now the task shows up for a few seconds, then disappears (from Outlook Today screen). It shows up in the task list if I click it, but not in my Today view, which is what I use to track my tasks. Any ideas why this disappearance may be occurring?
I had this same thing happen to me. I was using my brand new iphone 5 (texting and listening to music through the speakers) when it flashed the apple logo, stopped my music and brought me to the lock screen.

I just bought the new MacBook Air a few days ago and my Internet connection is so slow. My iPhone's connection works fine when connected to the wifi but the MacBook connects for a few seconds then drops completely. What do I do? I tried connecting it to my phone's hotspot and it works perfectly. I'm a new Mac user so I have no idea what to do. I have Comcast xfinity cable and Internet. Thanks for the help.
