Loading video is suddenly slow ?

Why is my video loading suddenly so slow?

I'm having the same issue. If I connect with another browser, then I have no problem connecting. Is it perhaps how Safari processes DNS requests?

  • Youtube app loads videos very slow On my ipad mini

    Youtube app loads videos very slow On my ipad mini . I can let it buffer for 10 seconds, it plays and then stops because it has to buffer again and convert the video in very poor quality. i have 20mb internet connection. my sofware version is iOS 6.1.3

    Check your internet upload speed. You probably have a very slow speed.

  • Brand new Mac suddenly does not load videos or plays them while buffering every 30 seconds.  Also, pages do not completely load with header, sidebar, photos, etc. loading more slowly.  What's up with this??

    My new Mac has worked beautifully until recently when it stopped loading videos from emails, websites, Amazon, etc.  Those that do load are constantly buffering and are impossible to watch.  Since I did not alter any settings or download any programs, can anyone determine what may be causing this sudden malfunction?  I have Comcast high speed Internet.  Thank you for any help you can provide.

    I have the same problem and it has just started in the last day or so...
    Got the phone late July and then in the last day, everytime I plug into PC or take a photo,  I get the same "Disk Error / Retry message"
    What is interesting is that I always had the Photo Storage location as the Memory Card (detachable).   Seems odd that sometime in the last month or so the phone decided to change my setting to the Mass Memory. Might have been an firmware update that I have done in the past but not sure.
    Changing the Photo Storage Location back to the Memory Card has stopped the error coming up everytime a Photo wastaken, but the message continues when I plug in the phone to the PC.
    Phone was just updated to latest firmware this morning and that has not helped, although during the back-up process I could not save some files from the Mass Memory.
    I wonder if Optus will shout a new phone because their technicians are useless with past experiences and to be honest the N97 really promises so much but offers very little compared to all of my last Nokia's.

  • 10.7.5 suddenly slows and then freezes

    My computer has just started to suddenly slow way down and then it freezes completely.  When I reboot it seems fine, for perhaps 10 minutes or half an hour, but then it starts to lock up again.  Any idea what the problem is?  Here is my EtreCheck report:

    Well, I made it to the Apple store and they, contrary to the guys at B&H, confirmed my original suspicion and yours: that the drive was failing.  I bought a replacement drive and am restoring my time machine back up now. 
    I am a bit annoyed that the B&H guys got this one wrong but I have to give them credit for underselling me rather than overselling me; I do appreciate that.
    Also worth mentioning is that the 3TB Seagate drive was less than 2 years old and is supposedly still under warrantee.  I am looking forward to seeing what kind of support I get from them. 
    So big thanks to you, Bob, for your very good suggestions.   The Apple community has come through strong for me and I appreciate it.

  • Mac suddenly slow, overheating, spinning ball of death, hard to reboot.

    Problem description:
    Mac suddenly slowed down, especially when using Safari - spinning ball of death, pages won’t load, etc. Hard drive appeared to get “stuck” causing overheating and had trouble even shutting down with the button, and then wouldn’t reboot for about an hour.
    This is a Mid-2010 Mac Mini with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Running OSX 10.9.5
    Safari is 7.1.4
    We updated to Mavericks but not Yosemite.

    Seems to have worked.
    We hooked up the external HD, turned on Time Machine, and everything backed up.
    Then we ran Disk Utility. The disk repair required the reboot thing and took two tries. Then repaired permissions. Also updated Flash.
    Seems to be running okay now, but we have ordered a new SSD (as well as a new iMac 5k ). We use multiple computers so hoping we can get a couple more years of use out of this old computer as it ran fast and fine until this problem.
    Thank you so much for your help! We really appreciate it.

  • Hi all, my mac's suddenly slowed down significantly - can anyone help?

    Hi there, a couple of weeks ago my mac suddenly slowed down significantly. Since then I've installed the new operating system and that's helped a little but it's still not running as it should.
    Here's my EtreCheck report. Any ideas you clever people?

  • WD MyBook Studio Suddenly Slow. Sign of Failure?

    Hey Guys.
    I have a Western Digital MyBook Studio 3TB external hard drive that has suddenly slowed down dramatically.
    I usually hook it up with FireWire 800, but both FireWire and USB is slow. I've hooked it up to another Macbook and it's still slow so i know it's a drive problem.
    The speed is so slow it takes about 30 seconds for drive to load thumbnails, and videos do not even load.
    I have read through many many forums but still unable to find a fix. I have a lot of important Data on this drive that i cannot lose. It's basically everything digital i have/own.
    Details that may help
    -2010 27" iMac i7.
    -I have owned this external drive for about 6 months, and it has been working perfectly.
    -There was a power outage a couple of days ago, it worked fine immediately after but the problems started yesterday.
    -Currently, the drive is about 1tb used and 2tb free.
    -I've tried PRAM reset, different cables, removing the drive from index, pretty much everything i found on forums but no luck.
    -drive not making any odd noises or clicks.
    Please help as i cannot afford to lose the data on this drive.

    The drive could be failing, I would get something besides another WD MyBook and back it up ASAP.
    I build my own External Hard Drives and backup all my data to multiple drives, one daily, one weekly and one in the fire safe.
    For some other good External Hard Drive solutions:
    see > Macsales.com - USB 3.0, FireWire 800/400, eSATA External Hard Drives
    and > LaCie - Desktop External Hard Drives - USB 2.0, FireWire, FireWire 800 & eSATA

  • Safari not loading sites and generally slow

    I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but for the past week Safari has been acting a bit weird.
    I have an iMac G5, and two MacBookPros and on all three Safari Version 4.0.5 (5531.22.7) refuses to load web pages as it used to. Either they won't load and I have to stop the load and press refresh in which case they load reeaalllly slowly if at all. I've looked for up dates, gone through Disk Utlilty and Repair, I've reset Safari, I've rebooted, but all to no avail.
    Is anyone else in the same boat ? If so, which life-boat do we use ?

    Try this:
    (First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl. If you are running Snow Leopard, run Safari in 32 bit not 64 bit. Control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode)
    Do you have enough RAM? Less than 1GB can cause slowness. Is your hard drive too full? Less than 15%, or 15GB, of free space can also cause slowness.
    Adding DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
    If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
    If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
    (An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
    Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
    Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDNS
    Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
    This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
    Click on Apply Now and close the window.
    Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
    If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
    Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
    Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
    form values
    download.plist
    Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
    Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
    More useful information here:
    http://guides.macrumors.com/SpeedupSafari
    Less likely, but possible, is that the slowness is caused by a Trojan such as the one called 'DNSChanger' or 'OSZ.RSPlug', which can alter the DNS settings of your network connection. This particular Trojan can be inadvertently installed if you have come across certain Quicktime movies where got a window stating that you have to download and install a particular codec in order to see the video.
    If you have agreed to that installation, your system can be infected and your DNS settings altered, which results in your system using the wrong DNS servers, which can slow web surfing to a crawl.
    This can be fixed by downloading and running a freeware utility called DNSChanger Removal Tool which you can download from here:

    Once you have run that utility you have to re-boot your Mac, then reset Safari, and re-enter your DNS settings in System Preferences/Network.

  • Video .f4v very slow

    Hello:
    I'm having problems playing f4v video is very slow. The size is 100 MB and resolution 1280x720. When I play out of Flash it reproduces well.
    I need to play in Desktop application not over Internet.
    What I'm doing bad? Is there anywhere to play well or wich is the better option to do it?
    thank you very much.
    This is my code:
    import flash.net.NetConnection;
    import flash.net.NetStream;
    import flash.media.Video;
    import flash.events.AsyncErrorEvent;
    //fullscreen
    stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
    var conexion:NetConnection= new NetConnection();
    conexion.connect(null);
    var display:NetStream = new NetStream(conexion);
    display.play("videos/ocioelecer.f4v");
    var video:Video = new Video(1280,720);
    video.attachNetStream(display);
    addChild(video);
    display.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, noshow);
    function noshow(event:AsyncErrorEvent):void{
      //no show error   
    display.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, statusHandler);
    function statusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
        switch (event.info.code)
            case "NetStream.Play.Start":
                trace("Start [" + display.time.toFixed(3) + " seconds]");
                break;
            case "NetStream.Play.Stop":
            //End video       
                            trace("Stop [" + display.time.toFixed(3) + " seconds]");
            (root.loaderInfo.loader.root as Object).removeSWF();
                break;

    100MB played locally is nothing. Most HDs have burst cache which can load up to 200MB instantly off disk. You shouldn't even need to (but might want to on a really 'value/green' rated drive) set the buffer to require 1 second of data before playing (bufferTime = 1).
    Are you using any kind of integrated graphics, like using a Z-esque Intel chipset with Intel 2000/3000/4000 graphics? Sometimes people over-estimate how well their built in hardware decoders perform.
    You always want to add Event listeners before you invoke a method that uses events. In your code you're adding listeners AFTER invoking a 'play(...)' method. Just for best practice, run the load(...) last.
    Lastly is the video available for inspection? 100MB for 10 seconds is 10MB/s, which is really only required in excessively high quality rendering with a huge gaumet with high motion. 9mbit is average full quality 720p (which is 1.25MB/s). You may have your bitrate set too high as moccamaximum mentioned if you are not in that video situation or striving for lossless video in ultra high motion.

  • Dreamweaver suddenly slow?

    Running CS4 on Mac OSX v 10.5.8, PowerPC G5, 1.5 GB RAM. Normally Dreamweaver runs fine -- not super speedy, but workable. Every now and then, it suddenly slows down. Today it's taking over a minute for the beachball to stop spinning after changing a margin for a div, or even to load a page. Everything else is closed except Firefox (and even rebooting and having nothing else open doesn't solve it.) MacFileCache-********.dat has been deleted, still no help.
    When this has happened before, time has solved the problem. Except, of course, I have a final project due next week and I need to get some serious work done this weekend. I'll cry if I have to code everything by hand in a text editor... Help!
    Kathy A.

    I had tried that the last time I had this same situation, with no improvement.
    Since I posted, I have found one new thing that may shed light on the situation. It's only happening on pages where I have smart objects on the page. It doesn't happen every time I have a smart object, but the larger the original Photoshop files, the more likely it is to happen. I took one of the offending pages, removed all the images in a text editor (for other reasons), saved, and then accidentally opened it in Dreamweaver -- it worked like, well, a dream. Added back one smart object (small file size for the png, but large PS original file), and it took over 90 seconds to change the padding of a div on the page. Took the smart object back out, and back to normal.
    The only thing I can think of at this spot is that 1.5 megs of RAM just isn't enough to work with large originals. If that's the case, I can live with the extra step of resaving png's out of Photoshop everytime I modify the original file. (Not going to throw more ram into this computer when I'm saving up for an Intel-chipped Mac.) If it's something else, I'd love to know what I'm doing that's causing it.

  • Compressor suddenly slow

    I am using DVDsp vers.3 on a G5 dual 2.0Ghz processor with 2.5GB ram.
    I use the "build in background" preference when I import a 45 minute Qt video file (16:9 anamomorphic)for encoding. I have used this basic method for several years but all of a sudden the process is very slow, taking 4 hrs or longer to encode the 45 min.video before ever beginning the muxing process. The Mac console lists a "CGContextSaveGState2" problem but I don't know if this is related to sudden slow down. Does anyone have an idea what would cause the slow down?

    Nick, thank you, good idea to keep things clean. apps in the final cut studio often seem to benefit from trashing prefs, too.

    Video is synced from the computer to the iPhone via iTunes. You need to load the video into iTunes, make sure it is iPhone compatible before you do that, and once it is in iTunes, then sync to the iPhone.
    Never said what computer OS you were using. Also, the computer processor, amount of RAM can make a difference with HD video.

    PowerPCs are NOWHERE NEAR comparable to Intel Macs. They run hotter, slower, and they're just plain obsolete.
    I had a 1st Gen G5 iMac. Whether I used iDVD or Toast,it took NO LESS than 18 hours to burn a 2 hour DVD from a video file.
    My Intel MacBook Pro could do it in TWENTY MINUTES. My Corei5 Mini can do it in TEN.
    PowerPCs were no longer sold (new) in 2006 - eight years ago. Apple hasn't supported them since October of 2009. more than four years ago.
    Yes, it may still be a "working" computer, but it isn't "perfectly good" by a long shot... because it's comparable to a Sony Betamax VCR or an 8-track tape player from a usability standpoint.
    Apple addressed the PowerPC issue. They got rid of them.

  • Suddenly, Slow Browsing

    I've had some issues lately.
    Right now though I'm trying to isolate a problem I'm having browsing. Sometimes it just takes forever for pages to load and it hasn't been that way before.
    I replaced my router with a Belkin Wireless N and I've spoken to tech support for Belkin and my ISP. Neither could detect any problem.
    I've just been doing speed tests with Speakeasy while pages slowwwwwly load in another browser window, and the tests are always in the mid-8s to 9s for download and mid 3s to 4s for upload speed.
    I have tried using Firefox but that is also slow, though seemingly not as bad as Safari.
    My computer has also crashed multiple times over the last few days - before and after switching out the router - during network diagnostics, or even when I pull down the wireless list from the toolbar.
    Does any of this ring any bells? My computer is old and I'm starting to think it's an internal problem. It's so hard to tell though because of the other "moving parts" in the system. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Try this:
    Do you have enough RAM? Less than 1GB can cause slowness. Is your hard drive too full? Less than 15%, or 15GB, of free space can also cause slowness.
    Adding DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
    If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
    If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
    (An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
    Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
    Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDNS
    Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
    This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
    Click on Apply Now and close the window.
    Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
    If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
    Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
    Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
    form values
    download.plist
    Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
    Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.

  • Trouble loading videos on YouTube

    All of the sudden I am having trouble loading videos on you tube. I can search but it does not load.

    A lot of persons have this problem, including me. I have spent hours with Apple support over the phone. They claim Saffari can not load youtube, which is a LIE !  The youtube app, well they are not responsible for. Soooo, I guess ipad can not be used for youtube until they come up with a fix. They recommend calling youtube and complain there.  My Iphone can load youtube from safari, and from the youtube app, no problem.
    Tried reseting, turning on/off, closing all the other apps, etc. NO USE.
    Maybe one day they apple will admit they have a problem with this and fix it.
