Issues with Downloading/Viewing video podcasts from NBC News

I am currently experiencing a problem with downloading video podcasts from NBC News. On my iPad 3, white iPhone 4 from Verizon, 3rd generation Apple TV and my mid-2012 15-inch MacBook Pro, it takes forever to download any kind of video podcast from NBC News. For example, on my iPad 3, it has taken over 35 minutes to download 7 MB out of 131 MB of video. The same thing happens on my iPhone and MacBook Pro. This has been going on for about a week now. Audio Podcasts from NBC News are fine. Other video podcasts play instantly.
Trying to play an NBC News video directly in iTunes on the Mac, or in the iOS podcast app, or trying to play it on my Apple TV is no better - the video is extremely slow to load with lots of stops and goes.
The problem also extends to NBC's iOS apps. Videos continuously try to load and do not play in the NBC Nightly News app for iPad for example. And, videos take forever to load at nbcnews.com, nbcnightlynews.com on my Mac.
I feel like there is something wrong with NBC's content. Has anyone been experiencing this same problem? I have not rebooted my wireless router or modem, I do not think that would do any good. Rebooting my devices do not make a difference.

  • Since upgrading to FF Ver. 24, I can no longer view videos/clips from fox News. What add-on do I need? Everything else seems to be working OK.

    Since upgrading to ver. 24, I can no longer view the video clips from Fox News. the clip comes up but will not play. I don't have a problem using IE. I seldom use IE and FF is my main browser. What add-on or control do I need to rectify this situation? My e-mail is [email protected]

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Viewing video podcasts from podcast list without video please

    With previous versions of the iPhone software I could listen to a video podcast without the video playing, by selecting the podcast from the podcast menu. Now when I do that, the video plays where the podcast art used to display. This *****, especially when I am driving or jogging and want to conserve battery life by keeping the screen off. If anyone has found a way to revert to this behavior let me know and if there isn't a way, this is a formal request to provide a switch for this under settings allow for this.

  • Issue with iTunes view for podcasts with the latest iOS update (for my Macbook Air, Sept 21, 2013)

    I just got the latest update for iOS for my Macbook Air - and now all of my previously deleted podcast episodes are showing up as available for download from the cloud - which is clogging up my iTunes display.  How can I get these previously downloaded, listened to, and deleted episodes off of my podcast view/list?

    "Not only did it download a new version of itunes, but it also downloaded MS Word updates, and other software that required updating."
    MS Word is not an Apple product so it could not've downloaded with all the Apple software updates.
    "I clicked File > Check for Updates"
    What program were you running to do that?
    In any case boot from your OS installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Uility.

  • Cannot delete (non-downloaded) video podcasts from my iPad

    Using iTunes on my iPad, I tried to download some video podcasts from CNN and Discovery Channel. For 4 days now, I have had 4 episodes sitting in my "Downloads" section, witht the words "waiting" underneath.
    I have searched the discussion forums and the web for answers.
    I have done hard restarts.
    I have downloaded the above podcasts directly to iTunes on my computer, and tried to sync them with my iPad. It said that the iPad could not play that type of content.
    I have deleted the podcasts from my computer and synced with the iPad again.
    All to no avail; I cannot remove the 4 offending episodes.
    Please, someone, help!
    Many thanks
    Andrew

    Your compliments made my Thanksgiving day and left me speechless. Thank you. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

  • Since downloading OS X Yosemite I have been having issues with Netflix. Video slows down which causes the audio to go out of sync. Netflix plays ok on ipad which makes me think it's the software which is the issue. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Since downloading OS X Yosemite I have been having issues with Netflix. Video slows down which causes the audio to go out of sync. Netflix plays ok on ipad which makes me think it's the software which is the issue. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Try this:
    Go to System Preferences - Bluetooth. Delete the keyboard from the list of devices by pressing the "-" button. Take the batteries out of the keyboard and reinsert them. In Bluetooth Preferences press the '+" button to add the new device. If the keyboard begins to pair, click the word "pair" and type in the passcode. Press return. The keyboard is now paired.
    If the mouse is not pairing, try this: shut down the computer completely, unplug any USB mice, then turn off the power to the bluetooth mouse.  ONce the computer starts up again, wait for the pop-up looking for a mouse.  Turn on the power to the bluetooth mouse.  It should work normally now.

  • I downloaded some video podcasts on ipad 3 and do not know where they are on the ipad

    I downloaded a couple of video podcasts from the store.  It showed them downloading.  After they were done I can not locate them.  They are not in the video app and they are not in the itunes app. Where else might they be?

    As you can see, video podcasts are supposed to appear in the Video app.
    There is something amiss with your iPad. Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.
    If that does not resolve your issue then try restoring to the factory settings. After that you can restore it to a previous backup, which could again propagate the issue, or set it up as a new iPad.

  • Issue with Tree view

    Hello experts,
    I am facing a very strange issue with tree view.
    I have created a custom component with a tree view. All data are coming in the tree view. But the strange thing is that the data is not getting displayed on the screen.
    I am sure about the data because, when I am selecting a line from the tree, the data from that line is coming to the main screen.
    Please help!!

  • After downloading of Video Podcasts on my iPad2, I leave my wifi

    After downloading of Video Podcasts on myiPad2, I leave my wifi & iPad on overnight for this, but the next day allthe podcasts, videos, itunesU are not visible, I have to restart, sync with myPC again and sometimes download the podcasts again. Any solutions.

    Another thing I noticed was after downloading a video podcasts I get a message that it cannot be played on my iPad, but the same video when downloaded again plays fine. Looks like the download management of ipad is not as robust as in a PC/MAC. It is more of an irritant than anything else.

  • How to transfer my videos podcasts from macbookpro to my new iMac ?

    I've just bought a new iMac and would like to transfer my videos podcast from my MacBookPro without having to download all of them again. I was already successfull in transfering the subscriptions but they are asking to download again all the videos, including the free and the bought ones. That is a waste of time ! Isn't there a Apple smart way to avoid it ?
    Thanks in advance folks !

    You can't do it directly on your iPad. You will need to copy them to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Then add them to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library so that they go into the Movies part of your iTunes library, and then sync them to your iPad's Videos app.

  • Issues with downloading process...

    I recently tried to download the trail version for Photoshop Elements. While trying to extract the files I kept gettting error code 101, which means that I don't have sufficiant space on the hard drive in question. So I went to the disk drive and looked it up, and found that I have over 300gb extra space on that drive... now I would like to hope that photoshop doesn't need THAT much space just to download. I've had this issue already with downloading that actual product from Wacom for the Tablet I had bought from them last week, although that error code revolved around the file being corrupted.
    I know that it has nothing to do with my computer as I have tried to download it on two different laptops and even my main desktop for both the trail process and the actual product itself. I don't know what seems to be the issue and I really would like to find the issue soon. I feel like I'm just bad luck brian when it comes to anything photoshop at this point....

    Hi!
    What kind of RFC do you use? If you use synchronous RFC the caller waits for the answer/result of the called function. In normal cases this should solve your issue.

    I do something like that, and can confirm 20 feet won't be a problem. More than 30 or so might be.

  • I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
    /Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
    Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
    If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
    Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
    I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.
