I have OSX 10.6.8, running Quicktime Player 10, why don't the videos I play run continuously w/o long pauses?

Why do I get long pauses in my videos with a symbol that appears to be reloading the video continuously? That doesn't make a lot of sense, but if You've had it happen to you, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Hi Shirley,
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.

  • Stop quicktime player as default to view youtube video

    Hi,
    My Mac recently updated and whenever I open the video from youtube, the quicktime player will automaticly run the video and say the file not found.
    How to unselect quicktime player as default to view youtube video?
    Thanks

    If you are opening a Youtube video from your desktop do the following:
    Highlight your file>File>Get Info>
    In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
    Select the application you want to open the file with.
    Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”
    ==========================
    Short cut:
    Control mouse click (right mouse click if available), Open With...-> Other
    Pick an app you want to open the video, and make sure to check Always Open With before hitting Open.
    Thanks to a brody for the above short cut.

    If you are viewing the video on YouTube's site, then the changes can be done through your browser Preferences to select a default video viewer.  However, you have not mentioned which browser you are using to view videos.

  • I have a Mac Air.  When I go to view any video online (youtube for example)and click on a video, I get the space where the video should play but there is just a black screen and no play button and the video does not start.  Any ideas?

    I have a Mac Air. When I go to view  video online (youtube for example), the screen for the video comes up with a black square space where the video should play.  But there is no pay button and the vidoe never starts playing.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Shockwave and Flash are not the same. Try installing a Flash plug-in. Here's the latest: Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.183

  • If you have an itunes acct that was not set up to share and the lap top it was on is no longer working, is there a way to open up the old itunes acct to get music and photos?  This was before icloud was available, can you reset your password?

    If you have an itunes acct that was not set up to share and the lap top it was on is no longer working, is there a way to open up the old itunes acct to get music and photos off of it?  This was before Icloud was available.  Can you reset your itunes password somehow?

    iTunes and the iTunes Store won't have anything to do with your photos. Those would be stored only on your laptop unless you made a backup of some sort. If you didn't, and the hard drive in your laptop has failed, then your photos are gone unless you wish to pay a disk recovery service a lot of money to try and get them back.
    As to your music, if you purchased it from the iTunes Store you can probably re-download it. Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time. You can see what content you can download here:

  • I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

    Thanks for the reply.  I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long.  After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix.  I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

    PLEASE HELP ME I AM FACING A PROBLEM
    My name is Ameer.
    I watch youtube videos from ipad2 ( safari )
    today for my first time, when i run a video and i want to pause it, i touch the screen where the video is playing to reach the pause botton that is located on a bar under the video which appears when i touch the screen. Today every time i touch the screen nothing happens and i cannt pause the video nor adjusting its quality.
    So plese help me fixing this problem as soon as posible.
    Regards

    Same problem on my ipad mini, running ios 6.0.2.
    A bit more info:
    -tried using YouTube in Safari on another ipad. Worked fine.
    Tried reboot (sleep + home buttons for 15 seconds). Didn't fix.
    -tried logging out of my YouTube account, thinking the problem was tied to my settings. Didn't fix.
    -tried uninstalling all apps I downloaded since the last time YouTube worked properly. Didn't fix.
    -tried watching a video in desktop mode. Can tap video screen to bring up pause okay in that mode.
    There are work arounds, but the thing I want to know is why YouTube doesn't work in Safari as of a couple of days ago, and is it indicative of another more serious problem with my ipad.

  • I have downloaded The Final by Wham (Deluxe edition) and most of the Videos only Play for about 2 minutes then freeze

    Hi all
    I am new to iphone and have just bought Wham The Final (deluxe edition) which includes all there videos.
    When i go to play the videos they play for about 2 minutes then they just freeze. Club tropicana does not even play at all.
    I have other video purchases which all play fine.
    Is there anywhere in itunes where you can re-download?
    Thanks in advance

    It's probably the new 'taste filter' trying to keep you from emberrasing yourself in public. Try playing them when you're alone. If it detects no one else is in the room, it may allow you to view them. 
    Seriously... Do they play in iTunes on your computer? If they're in your iTunes library, un-sync them from the phone, then sync them back.

  • Why don't the parental controls on the mac pro work?   I have the settings correct.

    Why don't the parental controls work on the mac pro?

    I am set as the administrator able to make changes and one day my daughter was set as the administrator.  I did not make the change.
    How old is your daughter?
    Is it possible she has seen you type your password, and given herself admin rights? Or used your user_id when you stepped away from the computer?
    If so, you will need to do one or more of:
    a) change your password. This leaves you open to having her watch and take the new password. You can also "require password after nnn minutes of screensaver" in System Preferences > Security
    b) add a new Admin with a new password. use it ONLY for Administration. Log in to it and demote your own Account to a non-Admin. Then go back to your own account, which cannot be used to add privileges. When you want to install something, you will type the Admin username and password.
    c) have a deeply serious discussion about building TRUST and giving her increasing responsibilities toward becoming a free-standing responsible adult.

  • Question.Why don't the apple company ever make a memory card that people could use for their apple product just in case customers run out of memory on their apple product?

    Question.Why don't the apple company ever make a memory card that people could use for their apple product just in case customers run out of memory on their apple product?

    One thing the iPad lacks is a file manager. There is no file explorer native on the iPad. If you started adding plugin cards, then you add the need for that.  And, in PC's, most viruses spread via the file explorer (the definition of a virus is a malicious program that propagates itself across multiple programs)
    There are a few drives out there for iDevices. Such as the WiDrive and others.
