Having lagging problems with YouTube videos, it simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again.

I have been having lagging problems with YouTube videos for a number of months now. It simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again. Even with little 2 and 3 minute videos.
I have a fast computer and my webpages load really, really fast. I have FireFox 4 browser and a Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. So I don't have a slow computer or web browser. But these slow YouTube vids take way too long to load for some reason.
Does anyone have any idea how I can speed up YouTube?

Hi
The forums are customer to customer in the first instance, Only the mods (BT) will ask for personal information through a email link. Would you mind posting your Hub stats & BT speed test results this will help all with diagnosis-
To post the full stats from your router
for home hub - 192.168.1.254
Navigate to ADSL Settings or use the A-Z at the top right
Click on More Details and then post the results.
Run BT speed tester and post the results from http://speedtester.bt.com/
If possible it would be best to connect to the BT master socket this will rule out any telephone/broadband extension wiring also consider the housing of the hub/router as anything electrical can cause problems as these are your responsibility, if these are found to be the case Openreach (engineer) will charge BT Broadband, which will be passed onto you, around £130.00.
Noisy line! When making telephone calls, if so this is not good for your broadband, you can check-
Quite line test dial 17070 option 2 and listen - should hear nothing best done with old type analogue phone digital (dect) will do but may have slight hiss If you hear noise- crackling pops etc, report it as a noisy line on your phone, don’t mention broadband, Bt Faults on 151.
As for your FTTC its available in some areas between 40% & 80% of customers in enabled areas can receive it!

13" MBP Freezes With Youtube Videos?

I settled on a 13" MBP base model. The machine is one week old. I notice it is freezing up during youtube videos. My daughter has a one year old 13" standard macbook, I believe those machines are the same config as the MBP and her computer does not freeze up on videos. I am very concerned about this.
I ordered a memory upgrade from Crucial so I will be running 8Gb of RAM shortly.
Any ideas what the problem is ?

Apple computers don't ship with Adobe Flash and most videos on Youtube require Flash. I'd recommend visiting Adobe's website and installing the most up-to-date version. While you're at it you probably would benefit from downloading Flip4Mac, this utility allows your MBP to play Windows formatted videos.

Firefox 11 freezes and is lagging after few minutes. Youtube Videos are laggy while the sound is normal. Can you help me to solve this problem?

If I restart my browser everthing works just fine for at least 5 minutes. When I watch several youtube videos, the lag comes back and the video starts to freeze aboud every second for just a faction of a second. The sound is stil played properly it only affects the graphics...
After about 10 minutes watching videos the whole browser gets laggy . Sometimes when I type the fonts appear only about a second later. Scrolling is also affected. Some minutes later everything is back to normal but it't not allways like that?!
I don't know what to do, I allready restarted with add-ons disabled but I didn't notice any difference. The drivers of my ati graphics card are up-to-date and I only have the problem with firefox, chrome works perfectly.

Just done a fresh install of Snow Leopard with all updates,iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately, I believe its related to overheating ?

Just done a replacement of the pata DVD drive (its new and is working ok), and a fresh clean install of Snow Leopard with all updates, iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately,
I believe its related to overheating ?
iStat Pro shows GPU diode temp at 66 C, CPU at 48 C, Fan rpms is around 1000
Any ideas somebody ?
The hard disk has been previously checked with state of the art techniques that have confirmed that the hard disk drive is in perfect condition.

1.5-3 minute boot up as opposed to 15-20 seconds
And
why it takes a long time to load a lot of things.
I have restored this
from a time machine partition.
TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works
Why is my computer slow?
Fix any and all issues in software following this list of fixes
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Then follow this defrag method I've outlined
How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive
Most commonly used backup methods
There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.
Hope this assists.

Why do YouTube videos lag when I switch to 720p?

Hi guys,
I'm extremely annoyed by the fact that everytime I watch a YouTube video and switch the quality from a standard 480p to a 720p or 1080p HD, the video gets lagged out. After restarting my Macbook Pro, it gets better and in a short while when I try to view it in 720p again, it gets laggy again. I have no problems viewing it in 320p or 480p. I notice this happens after I installed a number of updates on my Mac OS X 10.
Here's a list of updates I made.
(1) iTunes 10.4
(2) Mac OS X Update 10.6.8
(3) iMovie 9.0.4
(4) Remote Desktop Client Update 3.5.1
(5) Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.7
(6) Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 5 1.0
(7) AirPort Utility 5.5.3
(8) Migration Assistant Update for Mac OS X 1.0
(9) Safari 5.1
(10) iDVD 7.1.2
(11) ProApps QuickTime codecs 1.0
Does anybody have any idea which of these updates that has caused my Macbook Pro to react unusually? Everything seems pretty normal except this YouTube video.
Thanks.

A lot of people on the other forums seem to suggest it's the internet connection.
I can tell you for one that I have never experienced anything like this before. In the past two years with the same internet plan, I have been able to watch 720p and 1080p HD YouTube videos without any problem. Just today after installing those updates, the video gets lagged whenever I switched to 720p HD.
I just restarted my Macbook Pro and everything is fine for now. In half an hour or so, it's gonna happen again.

Why do some youtube videos run for a while and then freeze in firefox

HI i am having a problem with the lasted firefox browser. You see when I go to this website to watch a video witch is through youtubthe video will play for a little bit and then it will freeze but the audio of the video will keep playing but the video will still be frozen. I have went into firefox and I did go into tools and under privacy where it says clear recent history and I did put a check mark into clear catche, cookies, website preferences and push on the continue button. Then I went back to the website and again I did try and watch the youtube video with the same problem as described above. So then I did uninstall Adobe flash player and shockwave player and re downloaded both flash player and shockwave player and reinstalled them again. This changed nothing the youtube video keeps freezing and the audio keeps plays even when the video is frozen in firefox.
edit: I was wondering can your antivirus cause videos from youtube to freeze.
Help would be appreciated please.
some info that might be helpful

Hello,
Try these tool that may help solve your problem. Sometimes Video loads slowly depending on your network speed subscription from your network provider.
The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
'''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
To Refresh Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
#Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
#Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.

Thank you.

When I try to play youtube videos, it will start then freeze.

Hi, for about a week now my ipod will start a youtube video then just freeze 2 seconds into it; this happens with most videos. Also, I can't play my apps, it will do the same thing.

Try restarting your iPod. If that doesnt work try a hard reset which is you hold down the power button and the home button for about 15 seconds until it restarts. That should fix it.

Youtube videos spazzing out and freezing

Hi
Sometimes when I have a youtube video in another tab and then go back into that tab, the video will show the same image (as if it were paused, except the sound continues) and/or showing other images spazzing inside of the video (zooming in and out). The latter happens more frequently when I'm on a youtube playlist or have multiple youtube videos opened (not all playing). The latter is quite rare, however, and I had only gotten it twice before I started finding a way to reproduce the former problem. Both can occur independently of each other. I can't remember this happening to me on my old arch linux install (on the same computer), which had the same driver and browser.
I'm on a relatively new arch linux system (about 3 days old) so I barely have anything installed.
This is some of the stuff I have installed that might be relevant:
- Desktop Environment: Cinnamon
- Browser: Chromium
- Video driver: ATI (xf86-video-ati)
- flashplugin 11.2.202.291-1
Reproduction of problem:
1. Open Chromium
2. Open Youtube
3. Open three videos in a new tab from the front page
4. Close Youtube front page window
5. Wait for all videos to start
6. Pause all videos
7. Start video in tab #1
8. Click 'Youtube' in the left corner in tab #1 for home-page
9. Click a video
10. Let the video load and then either pause or let it play.
Now both videos from tab #1 and #3 are frozen (sound is still playing) with a white frame, picture from another website (if I tabbed to it from that website) or a picture from the video. Sometimes it's spazzing out with another video zooming in and out inside of the video frame.
Regards,
Surculus
PS. the problem can happen in with e.g. two youtube windows open, I just wrote one that always worked for reproducing the problem.

Hi BKLive
My problem is not that flash crashes. The sound is still playing, but the video freezes in place or is replaced by an image from another website in my tabs (that I would then have tabbed out of to get to the Youtube video). I tried the suggestions that were given in those forum posts, but they did not solve the problem. The only thing that 'fixed' it was using gnash. However, I do not want an infurior alternative that will negatively affect my experience watching youtube but rather to solve the problem. Unless of course there's an alternative that functions better than the default youtube flash player.

Why do youtube videos freeze

I upgraded My PC HP D530 mtc To 4GB Corsair Memory Ram & also upgraded from Win Xp Pro To Win 7 Ultimate And Last Of All I Upgraded My Graphic's Card To 512mb Nvidia Geforce 6200. I Have Defraged My Pc Etc,But My Pc Seems To Take Ages To Open Next Page & Also Youtube Video's Keep Buffering And Also Freeze. I Would Be Highly Greatful If You Can Help Me Pls. Thank You

Hello Promusicman,
You specifically mention Youtube videos is that the only website that freezes. What if you watch videos on other websites such as break.com do they freeze there as well.
Youtube also sometimes defaults itself to high definition videos which does take more bandwith to watch, if you watch in a lower quality does it still take a long time?

New Flash Plugin update with hardware acceleration freezes Youtube videos

Hello, two days ago i got a prompt for a new flash plugin update, saying that now it was able to use hardware acceleration on MAC too. I did the update but i noticed that with hardware acceleration enabled, any youtube video i see, safari freezes. Seems like it's loading continuously (even if the progress bar of the video is already red). But as soon as i disable hardware acceleration, all goes back as normal, no freeze. What's the problem? Using the last safari version.

HI,
There's an article here you might want to read.

OSX Firefox freezes when trying to play youtube videos on facebook.

When I click on embedded youtube videos on facebook, OSX firefox freezes, and I need to force quit. Everything is up to date, and this problem has been going on for at least two updates.

Hey virus1244,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Managing the Flash plugin#w_playing-flash-videos-makes-firefox-hang|Managing the Flash plugin]]? It has a section on resolving freezing issues. This might be what you are looking for.
Hopefully this helps!

Youtube videos freeze after a certain amount of time, but audio continues.

As it says in the title, most Youtube videos freeze after a certain amount of time for me, but the audio continues.
Happens on Firefox, IE and Chrome

This happens mostly because of obsolate drivers.

Youtube videos freeze, audio keeps playing. As long as I keep moving my cursor, it play ok. What's wrong?

This seems to happen on all Youtube video's I play. I don't know about other videos because I seldom view any others. When the video freeze happens the download bar is always ahead of the play bar so I don't think download is the problem. However, when the freeze happens, the download bar stops moving. When the play bar catches up to the download bar, the audio stops also. If I move my cursor, the video and audio start playing again. As long as I keep my cursor moving, the video plays fine. I am using Firefox 18.0.1. Computer is an HP dv6-1350us with dual processors. OS is Windows 7. I also use Chrome at times and the freeze doesn't happen on Chrome.

hello vearlbible, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - please go trough the troubleshooting steps provided in the following help document by adobe: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071
or as an alternative you could try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) & see if this solves the issue.

Youtube videos freezing when trying to watch, hibernate problem. Brand new Lion install

Hello,
I have just reinstalled Lion from the recovery partition, straight Lion install so no Snow Leopard to Lion upgrade.
I have carried out all software updates etc. However, when I attempt to watch videos on youtube the player freezes my page and it fails to load. I have also experienced problems going fullscreen. I use safari and not a third party browser.
I have a 2.4ghz Core i5, with 4gb ram and a 10mbps broadband connection, so can't really see this being a performance issue.
The laptop should still be under Applecare so if needs be it is an option, but if I can get this is something quick and easy to fix then that would be ideal.
Also it might be worth to note that sometimes the laptop has problems coming out of a sleeping state, the keyboard will light up and I can see a very dark picture on my screen if I concentrate, the only way I can recover from this is to hold the power button to turn it off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, these problems have been driving me insane!

Most YouTube videos require the Flash plugin. Try troubleshooting ..
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin first before re installing.
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
Also it might be worth to note that sometimes the laptop has problems coming out of a sleeping state, the keyboard will light up and I can see a very dark picture on my screen
Try resetting the Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Doubtful the Flash issue is related to sleep mode.
