Macbook audio stuttering while streaming from Netflix, Hulu, etc...

As of late my wife's 2008 Black Macbook 2.16ghz C2D has been acting up while streaming video. It first started with kernel panics, but Iocated the problem and relieved the Macbook of it. Now though after a hard drive erase to zero, a re-install of the OS, and an uprgade to the ram it has an audio stutter present when watching Netflix. I've checked practically everything on it. Even opened it up to check the hardware. Can anyone help? I ran this diagnostic from some help here in the forums.Can anyone see anything I'm missing? The help would surely be appreciated. Thanks!

You may have tried these suggestions before, but since I do not know the history here goes:
Looks like you have many plugins in your safari.
Disable all plugins except silverlight and try Netflix.
Try Chrome.
Once you run HULU the flash plugin it eat up hundreds of megabites of ram and then KEEP them for hours. It is a FLASH problem.
If you run Netflix (silverlight) after you run Hulu, you will run out of memory pretty quickly. The solution is to quit (not just close) Safari and then go to netflix.
Look at your activity monitor while you are using Netflix. How is your RAM and CPU usage?
Also Comcast (and the like) sometimes throttles your internet connection. Make sure your internet connection speed is still just as fast as it used to be.

  • Firefox Problems Watching Streaming Video (Netflix, Hulu, etc.)

    I have Netflix, hulu, VH1, etc. accounts that I use currently to watch movies, t.v. shows, videos, etc. online (desktop) as my only means to any entertainment. I continually have problems with unexpected pauses, starts/stops, "getting stuck" & having to reboot.
    I use the free version of Advanced Care Systems to "maintain" my computer. In the last month, I must used the ACS several times a day in order to watch streaming video. Something is obviously wrong. The last time I tried Google Chrome to watch, I did not have the same issues as often.
    I love Firefox so I'd like to know what I can do to "fix" this problem.

  • My apple Tv has audio problems when streaming from my NAS server.

    My Apple TV has audio problems when streaming from my NAS server or computer and even internet. I can hear the click sound it makes when you click on the icons, but when the movie starts there is no audio. This even happens when using XBMC. I have HMDI directly to my TV suing Apple TV 2. I have tried resetting, turning off both TV and Apple TV, and changing the HDMI cable. It is driving me nuts.

  • Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. w/latest Flash version.

    Despite following both Firefox and Flash directions, Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. They either never load or they load and freeze within seconds. Before I got the latest versions of Firefox and Flash, I did not have this problem. So there must be a problem in one or both of them. Since I understand from various websites that this is a widespread problem, can Firefox fix this? It's a major flaw in the latest Firefox version.

  • Audio skips when streaming from the internet (pandora/grooveshark).

    I'm using airport extreme, wired connection, to a macbook pro (2011) and mac pro (2009). audio skips on both devices when streaming from pandora or grooveshark. problem has persisted through system upgrades, clean installs etc... Problem persists through different web browsers (Firefox/chrome/safari)
    Ironicaly, Itunes radio does not skip, neither does netflix.
    I have seen COUNTLESS posts regarding this problem from many different APPLE users. I would love to see apple address this problem...

    Your first step is to determine if there is an issue with this specific movie or if it's a universal problem.  Does ANYTHING from the MBP provide both sound and video?
    Another thought is DRM coding but that should affect both video and audio.  If the movie has DRM coding and your television does not, then the movie won't play.  I'm not an expert but I don't think that that's your problem because you do get the video.

  • I use my Apple TV mostly to stream from Netflix, and up until recently it worked perfectly.  Now the film freezes ever minute or so and it takes another minute to start up again.  This doesn't happen when I stream directly onto my laptop.

    I have had an Apple TV for over a year.  I use it mainly to stream programs from Netflix, and up until a few months ago, I had no poroblems.  Now it has become impossbile to watch a Netflix program on my TV because the film freezes every couple of minutes, or less, and seems to be downloading.  It starts again, but the same thing happens in a couple of mnutes more.  I have tried pausing the film for a few minutes to let it download, and I have even started a film, and then paused it, half an hour before starting to watch it, hoping that this would allow the entire film, or most of it, to download, but it hasn't helped.  I don't have this problem when I download directly from Netflix onto my laptop, but then I don't need Apple TV.  Of course, I'd rather watch films on my TV than on my laptop.  Any suggestions other than buying a new Apple TV after just over a year?

    I also found the following post about a TV interfering with wireless networking:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17354146#17354146
    When I was searching I also found similar problems with screen brightness affecting wireless networking in iPads and MacBooks. So it seems like screen backlighting can generate wireless interference. The joy of technology.

  • Apple TV2 using bandwidth while streaming from iTunes

    I am wondering if anyone has solved the elusive issue as to why my recently purchased Apple TV2 is using my ISP bandwidth when using home sharing from iTunes on my MB.  I am using an Airport Extreme (less than 2 years old) with the latest firmware, and this issue is still occurring.  I do not have iCloud, or iTunes Match enabled.  I have never had this issue when using my Airport Express running to my home stereo, but suddenly i've used 1.46G of bandwidth on Saturday night while streaming 3 hours of music using Apple TV2.
    While I am a self admitted Apple junkie, this issue causes me great concern and not what I would expect from an Apple product.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Okay, try this simple test. Disconnect your modem/router from the internet (i.e. unplug the coax cable or phone line) and then see if you can access your music on the Apple TV (under the "Computers" menu). If the music and videos still work then that indicates that you aren't streaming that content using iCloud or iTunes Match.
    However, if it doesn't work (can't access content) then that proves that you are indeed (somehow) streaming from the internet. In this case I'd check to make certain that ALL of the content you are trying to access is PHYSICALLY stored on you local Mac/PC and that the content is reachable via the iTunes app running on that same Mac/PC. If it is then next I'd do a factory restore on the Apple TV and then see what happens.

  • Atv2 streams from Netflix @ 1/10th of speed of the other devices

    ps3, ipad2, & desktop pc all pull around 9Mb/s [12Mb/s service] via cat5 AND/OR .n from AEBS.
    The ATV2 pulls from .75-1.2Mb/s from Netflix, according to their tech support.
    swapped out cat cables, rearranged which cable goes into which lan port on router, still the same thing.  Called Uverse, they ran line tests, came out to house, nothing wrong (obviously if others are connecting ok).
    Apple has offered to swap out the Atv2, just wondering if anyone has had this issue and solution.  Netflix states that its not on their end.  Other than this Atv2 works fine.
    Will wait a week to update to new 4.3 F/W out today 1AUG2011.
    All other devices current with F/W, and nothing is jailbroken etc...........
    Any comments appreciated.

  • I still cannot stream YouTube/Netflix/iPlayer etc. on my iPhone 4 via WiFi since updating to iOS 6.0.1....can anyone please solve this for me??

    I posted a couple of days ago about a problem my iPhone 4 was having trying to stream video via WiFi
    Basically, since I upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 I cannot stream YouTube videos via the app or via Safari, Netflix will not work nor will services such as BBC iPlayer.
    I've also discovered this evening I cannot stream any radio apps either.
    All of them will play for 10-30 seconds then stop buffering making them impossible to play.
    I was given several pieces of advice including restoring the phone to factory settings, restoring it as a new phone, hard resetting twice in a row, deleting all the cache/data in Safari but nothing that has been suggessted has solved the problem.
    I know it is not a problem with my internet/WiFi as I have a laptop and a PC both using it and streaming YouTube/raddio stations etc. with no problem. Also, my girlfriend has a 3GS with the old YouTube player and that works with no problems at all.
    Can anyone please help me out as it's getting a bit frustrating not being able to use the streaming function on my iPhone.
    One thing that is odd, I have no problem surfing the web on the phone via WiFi or streaming over 3G. It is only a problem when trying to stream video/audio over WiFi.
    Thanks.

  • How to hide netflix, hulu, etc on home screen?

    I set my wife up to use ATV3 with her projector as she teaches 2nd Grade at a Christian school.  However, when ATV first comes up or if she loses connection with her iPad then the "home screen" for ATV comes up and sometimes can be a bit embarrassing when it shows popular movies and such. 
    How can I remove any or all of those trailers, netflix, hulu, and such buttons?  How can it be customized?  Can I replace it all with school logo or "Welcome to 2nd Grade" or such?
    Thank you,
    Steve

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately the only customisation you can do to the Apple TV interface is to rearrange the icons on the main screen.

  • Audio clipping/buzzing while streaming from a share (Windows 7)

    Has anyone else noticed clipping audio when listening to music from an itunes share? By "clipping", I mean a lag in the normal audio stream that sounds sort of like a buzz. If I set the iTunes process to a higher priority, the clipping is minimized, but still occurs every now and then. I've also set the streaming buffer to "Large", but it doesn't seem to me to be related to network buffering (The playing machine is connected directly to the sharing machine through ethernet). From the sounds I'm hearing, it seems more like the typical audio clipping that you'd hear when a player can't keep the sound system audio buffer full.
    Any ideas?

    Hi!! You might have a option here. Sounds like a power option problem to me??

  • AirPlay stuttering while streaming radio from iPad

    I have a 1st gen iPad and 2nd gen Apple TV. I can stream videos, YouTube, etc from the iPad to Apple TV with no problems, but if I stream radio stations they will drop out intermittently. Some days are worse than others, but rarely does it stream any radio without stuttering. Again, NO problems streaming video.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    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.

  • Audio issue when streaming from my MBP through 3rd gen ATV

    Last night I was attempting to stream a legally owned movie from my iTunes library on my MacBook pro. The video worked just fine and looked amazing, however I didn't get any audio. I confirmed that the audio for the file worked on the MBP. I'm at a loss as to why the audio wasn't working.

    Your first step is to determine if there is an issue with this specific movie or if it's a universal problem.  Does ANYTHING from the MBP provide both sound and video?
    Another thought is DRM coding but that should affect both video and audio.  If the movie has DRM coding and your television does not, then the movie won't play.  I'm not an expert but I don't think that that's your problem because you do get the video.
