Leopard video lagging like crazy

So after installing Leopard on my upgraded G4 Cube (1.5GHz, 1.5GB RAM), I'm noticing insane video lag. Nothing moves smoothly; Dock icons jump around. I suspect that I need a newer video card that the factory-installed one. I'm mainly just posting to make sure that's the culprit; I want to make sure before dropping 50 dollars on one. So, is it the most likely culprit?

Yes, the OEM Rage 128 Pro is a mangy, lazy dog, totally incapable of dealing with Leopards graphics requirements.
You need a graphics card that supports OpenGL 2.0 (2.0 is best, OpenGL 1.5 at a minimum) and also supports Core Image.

The easiest to get into the Cube is a flashed Geforce 6200.
More of a challenge, but the fastest card a 2x AGP machine can use, is a Radeon 9800 Pro.

Video lags like crazy when mirroring Macbook Pro to Apple TV

So, the Apple TV is wireless, and youtube works fine, as long as i use it within the Apple Tv. However, when I mirror my Macbook Pro to the Apple TV, and play a youtube video or any other video on my computer, it lags; it lags a LOT!!!
How do I fix this?
I've heard about configuring the internet speeds from 5ghz to 2.4ghz. Will this work? and if so, HOW to I configure these settings on my Macbook or Apple TV?
Please help! I got the Apple TV because we got rid of Foxtel, and I've got some movies on my hard drive, and TV shows, and I'd like to watch them, but the lag makes the movies and tv shows unwatchable!!
Please help!
Thanks in advance

Switching between 2.4 & 5 GHz may bring mixed blessings. 5 GHz will likely avoid most interference but being a higher frequency is more easily blocked by walls and other objects 2.4 GHz is able to pass straight through. It therefore depends on your location which frequency would be best for you.
Switching would be carried out in your router settings (assuming it supports both frequencies).
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Skype lags like crazy

So firstly my older version of Skype just refused to connect. I tried everything and one of these was to upgrade to the lastest one which shows Skype 6.22 in my remove programs list.
Now it connects, but it takes up about 33% of my CPU and just locks up and lags and goes into not responding. It does run okay for a while and then just all of a sudden increases CPU usage something crazy. Restarting it makes it okay for a few minutes again and then same cycle.
How do I fix this?
Even when I try to downgrade to a later version it doesn't allow me into group chats even though single chats work. I can't leave the group or remove it to be added again. The other people say I am still showing as in there.
Is there anything that can fix this? In general Skype lags at times and is slow and seeming as if every now release is making it worse.
I am using Windows 8.1 latest update with the lastest update Skype.
Any suggestions here?

This is on my work laptop. So I am kind of stuck with this piece of blergh they gave me...
The weird thing is the pc performs fine and everything else runs fine.
It is JUST Skype Desktop version that lags.
I have now been forced to use this Windows 8 Skype abomination.
I even tried 4 different versions and did all the temp file removal and Skype setup _old thing.
When I use old versions I just can't be added to group chats at all and when I use the latest deskptop one it lags like crazy. Sigh... How is a popular program like Skype THIS buggy?

Photoshop lagging like crazy?

Okay, so I recently bought Adobe Photoshop CS6 Student/Teacher Edition and installed on both a laptop and desktop. On the laptop it works perfectly, but on the desktop, it's lagging horribly. I have changed the drawing mode to basic, closed out other programs, changed the performance settings (and discovered I can use more memory on the desktop than on the laptop, so why is it so slow?), uninstalled/reinstalled Photoshop, and reformatted the computer. I am using an NVIDIA GeForce 9100 graphics card, which I updated, but PS is still lagging. Also, I did not have this issue with Paint Tool SAI, Paint, Autodesk Sketchbook Express, Adobe Photoshop Elements, or even the trial version of PS. (We did buy a new monitor with a larger screen since I last used the CS6 trial.) Is there any way to fix this issue? I love the new monitor but I hate being unable to draw with it.

Yeah, but then why wouldn't Photoshop Elements 9 and all the other software slow down? Sometimes CS6 stops lagging for a few minutes but then it always goes back to lagging. Also, on the laptop, I get an error saying the graphics processor won't work (or something like that - I can't remember what exactly.) Even though all the other drawing programs work fine, sometimes Netflix slows down. We tried updating the video processor and reformatting the computer again. I haven't had a chance to try Photoshop, but Netflix is still slow and I think Photoshop may start lagging again.

WRT54G v8 -- Lagging like crazy...

Well I have my PC wirelessly connected with the Linksys wireless adapter, and my laptop is also connected wirelessly with a Broadcom adapter. But my PC hits 2sec lag spikes every so often whereas the laptop at the same time doesnt have any problems.
What the hell?
The lag spikes are while both PC's are playing World of Warcraft.

I had the same problem and I also play WoW.
My laptop (has built-in wireless adapter) works fine, no lag, nothing.
My desktop was hard-wired. Then I bought a Linksys wireless PCI card. At first I had problems with the driver being recognized correctly (stating it was a Broadcom instead of Linksys). Even though it worked, I was getting sloooow speeds.
I finally got the correct driver from the CD to work and it worked fine, but then I started getting lag spikes. I had to get the latest driver from the Linksys website and reset the router. It's finally working correctly (for now), but I think it's also because of Vista. I've never had this problem while running XP Pro. But now that both are running Vista, I've had nothing but problems.

Videos skipping like crazy from external HDD

Hi,
I can't seem to watch any of my music videos now that my iTunes reads off of my external HDD.
The videos get stuck, and then choppy.
What do I do?
Thanks.

If you depress the option key and launch iPhoto you can select the library - if it is not in the default location in the pictures folder that is the only way to select it - if you have an alias in the pictures folder remove it (this was the way to move the library in older versions of iPhoto)
There is a preference file - quit iPhoto and delete it ("your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist) and it will be recreated with default values - reset any personal preferences you have changed and option launch iPhoto to point to the iPhoto library on the external hard drive -- Note that iPhoto does not work will with its library on a wireless connection - wireless tends to have short dropouts and if this occurs while writing to your iPhoto library it can corrupt it

My curve 8900 lags like crazy

Hi, I was just wondering how I cud reduce the lag that's on my phone. I just got this phone. I'm not sure if its the mdeia card ... But there isn't much fun it. I do battery pulls, and it still gets laggy !!

Clear your cache. I think you open your web browser, click the menu button to the left of the ball, click options, click cache operations, and clear everything. I use my phone a lot so I have to do this every 3 days. Do it at least once per week.

Firefox Lags Like Hell with Flash

Ok, here's the deal.
After long use Firefox starts to lag like crazy with Flash. And... It doesn't seem to be a problem with Flash. It's more likely that the browser itself what is causing the issue.
After I use Firefox for some time Flash starts lagging badly. BUT! This happens only if I have my Firefox window active. If I open the Task Manager on top of Firefox window, Flash stops lagging as if Harry Porter himself cast a spell with his magic stick making everything work like a charm.
I made a small video showcasing the bug: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l2c5pbn1xwy58dc/12-11-2012%2019-07-15.avi
- The bug still appears even in Safe Mode (all addons disabled).
- With hardware acceleration disabled in Flash bug still remains.
- With Chrome and other browsers everything works fine.
- The bug will go away after restart - and then will start to appear after Firefox is in use for some time.
- Normally it re-appears after I close my laptop's lid forcing it to go to sleep mode. After it wakes up - the bug is there.
- There was no such a bug in the past - it started to appear as new Firefox versions were released - don't know the exact version but I assume it all started from version 14 or 15.
Any thoughts?

Did you try to disable protected mode in the Flash plugin?
Also make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
*downgrade the Flash player to version 10.3 or 11.2

Video Lagging/Choppy videos on Macbook Pro

Hello,
I am having a problem while watching videos online: video lagging/choppy videos. Sometimes the video is stuck in a certain frame although I still have the sound on the background; sometimes the video slows down completely (frame+sound). It started around one month ago, and exists in several different websites, I couldn`t solve it by myself. I am not very good with computers. I tried to uninstall/reinstall flash player, as well as disable hardware acceleration, and the problem is still there. Also somedays the videos are working fine, and somedays they are all bad independent of websites. I tried to use different browsers (chrome/firefox/safari), but the problem persists.
I am using a Macbook Pro and bought it in the beginning of January this year (right now it is running OS X 10.7.4) with flash player version 11.2.202.235.
I would very much appreciate if you can help me.
Thanks.

mellskucukoglu, uninstall all adobe products then install Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Adobe Air, Adobe Shockwave Player. Make sure to select the operating system correctly behind the link. Turn off your antivirus till you finish installation as suggested below the webpage. If it still doesn't work check for OS X 10.7.4 updates.
If it still doesn't work then go for Adobe Live chat in this link http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html . Sometimes they are busy. If they can't help. Think about any changes that you made before this issue like installaling any new apps. Uninstall them. If it still doesn't work then install Adobe Flash Professional CS 6. After installing check for adobe updates and update them all. It should work at this point. If not ,watch this

If the issue persists switch to Windows XP SP3 or Windows 7.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

When baltwosaid NO emphatically, that was described as CORRECT ANSWER. Ditto in the caeses of the radically different answers from Camelotand Matt Clifton
Could it be that CORRECT ANSWER needs better defining by Apple?
That apart, yes, switching might involve rebooting. About the voices, well, I was the other day adding voice to a commentary in a video I was working on. There's only American English accent in SL — Lion I believe has British ones as well.
Why not, I wondered, try to install Lion purely for academic interest, maybe with an SD card (Sandisk Ultra II, 16GB) as Tom Nelson says is possible at http://macs.about.com/od/macoperatingsystems/ss/Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Lion-On-Your-Mac.htm

Flash Player is causing my Web Pages to flash like crazy Need help!

I need help, I'm running a computer with Windows 98 4.10.1998
and Running Internet Explorer ver. 6.0.2800.1106IC
I had some problems I have fix eveything but when I got to a
web page it wants
to install and run flash player if I do Install and run, all
my web pages flash
like crazy every clickable icon or line flash the screen
makes it flicker so hard
it is enough to give you a headache. Ad boxes on the pages
flash like a lighting
strorm. How do I fix this? I never had this before, I ran the
flash player debug file
that made no change. Help!

Already checked the Event Viewer. The only thing I could find is this critical level event
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
This only happens when I am running a flash video in IE10. In Chrome everything works fine. I downgraded flash player to 11.4 but with no luck.
From the event viewer, the reboots started from sometime in september.(this is my parents' pc)
I think I found the problem. I changed my video card, a 9600GT, a few months ago with a GT630. I switched back to the 9600GT, and it looks like the issue is not happening any more. But it's still verry ackward for the issue to happen only on IE10.
I'm still testing to be sure that the video card is the problem.

Video lags behind sound in YouTube app

I am using the iPad mini with the latest iOS update (7.1.1). When I use the YouTube app, the video lags behind the sound. What I mean by that is that I play the video for a few seconds and the lip-synching will be off. If I then pause the video, I can see the video catching up to the sound. However, the video will quickly begin to lag behind the sound again. This makes watching anything with dialogue pretty awful.

The same issue is happening with the Netflix app. Also, apps like Facebook and Safari seem to be crashing much more frequently for me after this update.

Video lag at start and stability problems in Android 4 (ICS) when using Video and StageVideo

I'm experiencing some problems with video playback in a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet, which comes with Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
In Android 3 (Honeycomb) and 2 (Gingerbread and Froyo) video playback worked perfectly and started with no lag, but in Android 4 video takes like a couple of seconds to start, showing nothing during that time.
This problem happens when using either Video and StageVideo objects, but when using StageVideo, there's also another problem: When playing back a second video after having closed the first, even after some minutes, when starting the next video I can see during those couple of seconds a still image of the previous video, in the part where it was stopped. Why?
None of this happened in Android 3 and 2, so I don't think it's something related to my code (and I've reviewed it several times to try and find a solution). This seems to be an Android 4 specific issue with AIR, since I've tried several Android 4 tablets of different brands and all of them show this behaviour. I've tried with AIR 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 beta, and this problem happens in all three.
Also, there are some random stability problems if the app goes to sleep while playing a video. Sometimes, it doesn't wake up properly and freezes, giving you a "force close" Android message. Sometimes it wakes up properly but the video doesn't show or it's paused. All of this in "CPU" mode. In "Direct" mode it seems to work a little better.
BTW, can someone explain what's exactly the new "Direct" mode. I know it's needed for Stage3D, but I don't know why there's that specific mode, when there's GPU mode. Isn't Stage3D supposed to use the device's GPU? Well, Direct mode seems to be "better" than GPU in that filter effects work, whereas GPU mode doesn't support filters, so if you can use Stage3D while using filter effects, that's great.

Yes, it's unfortunately still not fixed. Also, I've looked into the bugbase report I filed:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3205172
And it seems they've CLOSED this bug!
They say that they can't "control the video overlay buffer that is still in the hardware. This really depend on how ICS handle their buffer and external playback".
The only workaround is NOT using StageVideo, but just regular video. But then you can't use hardware acceleration!
Also, there's the crashing bug, which is even more important. Video crashes too often, especially in off-brand tablets, which are becoming very common!

Since upgrading to Leopard, videos online (youtube) are skipping

Since I've upgraded to Leopard on my MacBook Pro, it seems that when I watch videos online (youtube) using Safari or Firefox, the video lags and skips, as though the internet connection is slow. However, a mac user next to me using the same connection has no problem watching the videos. Sometimes after rebooting, the video seems to stream a little better for a short while, but after a few minutes the video skips and lags once again. It does not seem to be a browser issue since it happens with both Safari and Firefox. A few others have had this issue and have posted questions but I have yet to read a solution.
Any thoughts?

because all the videos on youtube a flash files, i'd suggest going to Adobe's website and getting the new flash player for osx (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&ogn=EN_US-gntray_dlgetflashplayer ), that should fix your problems, also if you are still on 10.5.0 i'd suggest updating to 10.5.3
