Is there any reason for streaming of videos being so slow on iphone 4 ios 6.1.3?

I just want to watch videos in my iphone on our perfectly good wifi network that works with other PCs and devices, but the streaming is so slow so often it slows down to a point where it does not play in the middle of the stream. Please help if you got info as there is no easy helpful anywhere about this?!!

Hello Commander888,
It sounds like you are having issues with videos buffering when your iPhone is connected to your home Wi-Fi network.  I recommend troubleshooting this issue with the following steps:
Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

    Reset the device, restart the device, try downloading any other app.
    All of these are basic steps that could have been found by a simple search of the forums as a resolution for the issue.

  • Firefox keeps crashing my Video card driver... Is there any reason for this? And is there anything I can do to stop it from happening?

    The problem keeps surfacing every time I use the browser. Around 1-2 times per session. It causes the screen to become unresponsive, and soon after it blacks out for about a second or so. Once it comes back I get a message saying that my Display driver has become unresponsive, but has recovered. Firefox continues to work, but sometimes the upper right row of buttons (minimize, maximize, close) either disappears or ceases to work. Never have had a similar problem before with any other browser or application.

  • Animated zoom in CS5 - any reason for it?

    in CS5 the zoom function is much different than CS3 - very distracting. i have the animated zoom checked off but open GL on basic with anti-alias paths off so i can see the pen tool. Is there any reason for this new zoom? i dont see the point and its just annoying - not trying to be a complainer but just wondering why its there. Thanks.

    not sure what you mean by interactivly but when i zoom by command + and - it gives me this jerky zoom action. not smooth to me. is this necessary b/c of open GL? i would turn it off b/c i dont use flick panning etc but i need to see my paths

  • Is there any way to get both libraries of music onto my iPhone?

    I have two computers, and one has the majority of my music on it, and the other has a little. When I first got my iPhone 4S, I connected it to the one with less music on it, and synced all the music I wanted. Now, I'm trying to add the rest of my library to my iPhone from this computer (the one with more music on it), but I can't manually add music without wiping the music from the other computer. Is there any way for me to get both libraries onto my iPhone without having to go without one of the libraries? Can I combine them somehow, or can I wipe the music off of it now, add the larger library, then go back and somehow add the other one (this already sounds like it won't work)?
    Thanks!

    You need to combine the libraries on one computer. Otherwise you'll be constantly erasing your iTunes content as you switch computers. iPhone will only sync or manually manage iTunes content with ONE computer at a time.

  • Is there any reason photos in an album page display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

    Is there any reason photos in an album page created in iweb display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

    there are three displays in photos page:
    1) thumbnails grid - smallest
    2) deatial view and detail view slideshow - large
    3a) pop-up slideshow - vary - this is slideshow.html
    3b) or iphone/ipad slideshow phoneshow.html - iphone/ipad can't do pop-up
    it's difficult to know which you refer to.
    if you refer to pop-up slideshow then you should not look into iwebmediagrid.js as wyodor suggested.
    instead look in phoneshow.html and change width and heigth of element id slideshow:
    #slideshow {
    position: relative;
    width: 320px; /* this is default width */
    height: 360px; /* this is default height */
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    overflow: hidden;

  • Play count question.   I have about 500 songs in my library that I know have played at least once...probably just once.  Although there is a "last played" date listed there is no number in the play count column.   Any reason for this?  thx

    I have about 500 songs in my library that have played one time.   Although a "last date played" date is noted, there is no number in the play count column.  This only happens some times.   Any reason for this, and can it be corrected?  thx

    Thanks, but the play count is not incrementing only on the very first play.  All subsequent plays are fine.  Meaning the play counts for these particular tracks are always one play short.  I double-checked some of the tracks in question and I have not shortened, or stopped them early.

  • I have an I Pad 1 with 64 gigs. It constantly drops me off the Internet for no apparent reason. Is there any fix for this problem?

    My I Pad 1 constantly drops me off the Internet and programs. Is there any fix for this problem?  It started after the last update and continues to get worse.
    Doug

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Is there any reason I shouldn't work this way?

    Given the lack of batch capture in FCE is there any reason why I shouldn't work in the following way:
    1. Import video in large chunks using capture now
    2. Use DV start stop and Make sub-clip
    3. Export just the sub-clips I want as self-contained movies
    4. Close the project and delete the original capture files and the FCE project file
    5. Start a new project and import the movies I saved in step 3.
    My reasons for wanting to do this are mainly to save disc space but also to reduce clutter in the bins. So far as I can see this works fine. The only downsides I can see are:
    1. The extra time it takes but this is offset against the chore of capturing individual clips instead of using capture now.
    2. The fact that reimported clips have their audio tracks set to mono mix but it seems easy enough to correct this. (As an aside, if I import a .mov file saved from Quicktime it imports into FCE with the audio set to stereo - why the difference?).
    I'd be happy enough working this way, I think, provided I could be confident that I'm not going to lose quality by saving and then re-importing. Will I? Are there any other downsides I've not thought of?

    You shouldn't lose any quality in the audio or video, but you may lose the timecode track. I'm not sure if you'll lose it, but if you do, you won't be able to recapture the project clips from the original tape because the timecode would be required. This isn't an issue, if you don't ever need to recapture. The timecode may even be retained... I'd have to do an export to see. As a matter of workflow, you may want to think seriously about keeping the timecode, because you can back-up your project file and have some assurance that you can recover from a chatastrophic failure simply by restoring the project file and recapturing from the original tape.
    Regarding your audio and video; unless you were to add effects to the video, there should be no loss in exporting and importing. Losses in DV are incurred when you add filters (alter the image) and recompress. The audio is uncompressed PCM, so no losses to be had there, unless you change the sampling rate.

  • Hello, I have an iPad Air. I cannot download adobe flash. Any reason for this? Thanks

    Hello, I have an iPad Air. I cannot download adobe flash. Any reason for this? Thanks

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
      1. Puffin
      2. SkyFire
      3. Photon Flash
      4. Browse2Go
      5. Swifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."
    Download the Facebook app from the iTunes Store. Sign in with your Facebook ID and Password and you won't require flash to play videos.

  • Problem with tutorial:Creating a dynamic playlist for streaming flash video

    hi, anyone tried the tutorial: creating a dynamic playlist
    for streaming flash video?
    i follow the instruction exactly as stated in the tutorial
    and test the fla file, it worked perfectly well when i open the swf
    using the macromedia flash 8. Everything look fine. Nothing is
    changed except the url is changed to "rtmp://localhost/videosource"
    in the xml file.
    after i publish the file using the setting: access network
    only, i try to open the swf and html file from the folder, the
    thumbnail did not appear and there is no way i can click on any
    videos. What i see is only the list, and there is no response from
    the flash media server 2. All the files is in the same folder.
    Anyone please help with this problem???? thanks

    ....i debug the movie step by step
    and realised that the xml file is being read by the code...
    Your original problem stated it worked but not when playing
    outside the
    Flash authoring environment by simply loading the swf from
    the hard drive.
    The Flash authoring environment is a trusted environment and
    so you really
    need to test in the actual deployment mode which loading an
    swf from the
    hard drive is not a valid deployment unless an installed
    Flash player is
    available outside the web browser which you would have as you
    have the
    authoring tool and your users will not.
    Use a browser with
    http://yourdomain.com/yourmovie.html
    to do final
    debugging.
    In this regard you may need to debug the movie while running
    in real time
    mode in a web browser with
    http:// A technique to trace I suggested is to
    create a temporary TextField perhaps named out_txt and send
    trace message to
    it such as out_txt.text += "My Trace Expression".

  • Creating a Dynamic Playlist for Streaming Flash Video

    Hello,
    I have been trying the tutorial given by Lisa Larson in order
    to create a dynamic playlist for streaming Flash video files. I
    have realized some of the FLV files that I have downloaded from
    internet don’t show in the thumbPlayList and cannot be
    played. But once I convert them back to WMV and the use the Flash 8
    Video Decoder to convert them to FLV file everything works fine.
    Any idea or suggestion why there is such a problem?
    Thank you for your advice.

  • Is there any way to merge 2 video layers to one without exporting?

    Is there any way to merge 2 video layers into one without exporting as a new QuickTime movie? I have tried opening a blank player to copy and paste into, but it always forces it to be layered, even when I change the layer numbers both to zero. I tried extracting the video layers and omitting the audio tracks. Then I saved it as a new self contained movie. I am trying to burn the video to dvd with Roxio Easy Media Creator 9's MyDVD on WIndows XP, but I am also using a MacBook with QuickTime Pro. MyDVD will only recognize one video and audio layer at a time, hence, the other layers get skipped. There should be an easy way to merge two video layers without having to export it as a new movie, which takes 2 hours for this 2 hour TV show. Thanks for any answers.
