MBP 2012 or 2013 screen freezing when watching youtube

i have a huge problem, i think its happening when streaming videos but i cant quite pin point it. my computer will freeze up to the point of not being able to do anything so i force shut down then reboot and once in a while when trying to reboot the front light will turn on but the screen wont, then will beep three times pause then repeat, this will happen until i force shut down again. it happens at totally random times, i can never predict it or pin point the exact cause because of the randomness. i have contacted apple support and still waiting for a responce just want to seek some community input.

Hi tonynz,
If you are having reoccuring full system freezes on your MacBook Air (no spinning wheel, no mouse control, etc), you may find the following article helpful:

    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit the apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.

  • When watching Youtube clips firefox causes windown blue screen - windows 7 on HP8540w

    Hi
    HP8540w laptop with Windows7 professional.
    when watching youtube clips windows crashes - blue screen of death!
    watching the same clips in Internet explorer doesn't cause a crash - isolated to Firefox.

    See below -- the way I asked the question the first time may not be clear. This post was a goof but I can't figure out how to delete it

    What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
    In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

  • IOS6... How do I see the full screen when watching youtube videos and second the map quality is very poor, foggy most of the time and images overlap to each other... Can I restore to IOS6 if these problems can not be solved?

    I just upgraded to IOS6 and I have some difficulties that I never had on IOS5:
    How can a see the full screen when watching youtube. Address bar is always in view.
    Maps are foggy and some images overlap to eachother.
    If these problems can not be solved, how do I downgrade back to IOS5?

    No, there is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS to an earlier version.
    Be patient, Apple will eventually get around to fixing the "bugs" in iOS 6.

  • My aol screen freezes when I try to click through a series of photos.

    My aol screen freezes when I try to click or swipe through a series of photographs or similar images. Rebooting my iPad does not solve the problem. Has anyone else had this problem and/or come up with a fix?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • Why does screen freezes when I attempt to play certain songs in my library

    Why does my screen Freeze when I attempt to play certain songs I have downloaded from CDs into my library?
    I have just received my Nano and I'm unsure if I want this to keep happening

    Apple removed my previous post because I referenced jailbreaking which is a violation of the TOS.  Sorry about that! 
    That said, I can't think of any way to get around the file size limitation.  I suppose itunes match isn't really meant to give you access to play all your songs anywhere.  It instead gives you the opportunity to download your songs via wifi when you aren't at home.  I can't see that it makes any difference one way or the other to Apple but it obvioiusly would make a difference to the wireless provider. 
    So now, my question is whether this happens on with all carriers.  I have experienced this on AT&T.  Does anyone here have Verizon or Sprint?

  • Does anybones screen freeze when texting or using bbm?

    iv only had my 9300 for about 3 months and since day one the texting would freeze for about 5 seconds before it would allow me to type another letter and today its been a nightmare the screen freezes when im texting and using bbm for so long i have to take the battery out to turn it off. im not sure how to contact blackberry over this problem. its really annoying me.

    Sue,
    I actually installed new RAM - 2 GB, and the problem still seems to persist. It is on all the new movies we have imported and are attempting to edit. This all seems to have started when we went from iLife 05 to iLife 06. At that point, we did not have the added RAM, but now with the added RAM and I know we have 15-20 GB free on disk space, we are still having the screen freeze when playing back a scene or scenes we are trying to review after adding an effect or making audio changes, or just any change.
    I am still frustrated and I dont know what my options are as far as support or customer care. Can I go to a genius bar? Do I need to bring the machine to show them? Is there anywhere I can call to help? Would I call iLife support or hardware support?
    I am a windows guy and I am helping my kids and wife on this one, and everyone raves at how effortless and integrated a MAC is, but with this type of an issue I feel stuck and there is no good documentation or my searches never seem to product any decent results that even hint at helping. I have seen similar issues and heard about alot of issues with the MAC and trying to do the movie stuff, but that is what it is touted for?
    Give me some options and I will try anything.
    Are you an Apple employee or just a loyal user?

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

  • When watching youtube the video randomly jumps to the start of the video even if the cursor is not on the video.

    When watching youtube the video randomly jumps to the start of the video even if the cursor is not on the video. This happens randomly and does not seem to be a problem with the videos as they run fine. what is going on?

    Several times every day YouTube shuts down some of their servers to update stuff. Be patient if YouTube is slow, stuck or mangled. Transmissions from YouTube to your computer are done in multiple tiny packets of data and flash at a time. That's why sometimes you may get any of these scenarios: bits and pieces of text/thumbnails in weird places; sluggish loading/buffering; the spinning circle going on forever; or the player being blank. This problem could fix itself within a few hours or by the next day.
    If your YouTube continues to behave slow, stuck or strange, it's very possible that your directories of "temporary internet files" and RAM (sometimes known as "cache") are close to the maximum and just cannot take anymore, the end result being any of the above scenarios or videos that: A) come to a complete freeze; B) start/stop/start/stop in a choppy way; or C) never even make it onto your screen.
    "Temporary internet files" are tiny bits of webpages that get permanently put on your hard-drive. They will remain forever on your computer, gradually plugging it up like hair stuck in a sink drain, until you finally get rid of them once and for all. Thus, exit out of YouTube, then clear your "cache" of all its "temporary internet files", "cookies" and "history". It is best if you shutdown and reboot afterwards. You'll be amazed at how "fresh" and "new" your YouTube will be.

  • Iphone 4: pixilated image when watching YouTube

    Since the last update (4.1) I have horrible image quality when watching YouTube or Vevo...Anyone has any idea of what is going on?
    Thanks

    The mobile youtube page accessed through safari plays video perfectly over 3G, while the native app reduces the quality so much much that text on the video is basically unreadalbe.
    I don't understand why apple limits the quality so much through the app when 3g is more than adequate to play higher quality. What's the point of a native app when it performs this poorly.

  • When watching youtube on Waterfox 8.0.1 there is no buffer.

    When watching Youtube videos on Waterfox 8.0.1 there is no buffer.
    The videos load, but not with buffer (obvious when video is paused).
    I'm using Flash Player 11.2.202.95 Beta 2 (Non-IE) 64-bit
    Works fine on IE9 with Flash Player 11.2.202.95 Beta 2 (for IE) 64-bit

    Installed & enabled "Greasemonkey" (non-related to this issue), now it's buffering !?!
    This is ridiculous.

  • I have a new Macbook Pro.  When watching Youtube videos, it works perfectly until I attempt to watch the video in full screen.  When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues.  When minimized it works fine as before. Help?

    I have a brand new Macbook model A1502.  I am taking online college classes that incorporate youtube tutorial videos.  I can watch the videos if I don't maximize the screen to full screen.  When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues uninterrupted.  I can press escape and go back to the previous screen and the video continues to play with no problems.  Can anyone help me please?  This machine is literally just out of the box with maybe an hour of use.  Thanks in advance

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
