MBP Retina video streaming problems

Does anyone else have video problems anytime they stream a video online? This has persisted for awhile. I assumed it had to do with OSX Maverick, so I gave it about 6-12 months to allow any patches/updates to remedy. I would assume it is a GPU issue or possible RAM.
Also playing locally from my SSD or even an external does not give me any issues. If I stream, however,  I get a glitchy, striping across my screen. Sometimes it is vertical; other horizontal. Sometimes it will last just a few seconds and pass. Other times, I have to put the laptop into hibernate and then log back in. When it happens 2-3 times in a 5 minute YouTube video, that gets really frustrating.
Lastly, this is not isolated to YouTube, but any online video streaming. Hulu, netflix, news sites, etc.
Here are some examples of how it looks:

I have been charting it recently, and I think it may be due to heat. I noticed that it reaches temperatures upwards of 80ºC. Even when rendering video that seems a bit high. I am going to download a fan control app, and set them to kick in earlier and see if that helps or at least mitigates the issue.

    I Am Sorry. In fact had the DST setting to + 1:0 and I changed to 12:0 am; As the clock time was delayed, because in Portugal we are indeed in summer time!, I changed the time directly. Unfortunately the reminders remain with an hour of advance. The alarm clock that is set crescento for 7:15 minutes as the set initially and never changed. The first reminder has been set for the 7:15 but is now changed to 6:15 due to this error. Does anyone have any suggestions other than modify all reminders. I would add that the Firmware of the Nokia C2 03 est actualized to a V7.48.

    Lamento. De facto tinha a definição de hora de verão para +1hora e alterei para 0horas;
    Como a hora do relógio ficou atrasada, pois em Portugal estamos de facto na hora de verão!, alterei directamente a hora.
    Lamentavelmente os lembretes continuam com uma hora de avanço.
    A crescento que o despertador está definido para as 7:15 minutos como o defini inicialmente e nunca sofreu alterações. O primeiro lembrete foi definido para as 7:15 mas está alterado para as 6:15 devido a este erro.
    Será que alguém tem alguma sugestão que não seja modificar todos os lembretes.
    Acrescento que o Firmware do Nokia C2 03 está actualizado para a V7.48.

  • MBP retina display wallpaper problem

    I just bought the MBP retina display and somehow the OS doesn't save my wallpaper. It will go to the default Mac wallpaper whenever i restart my computer. Is there a way to solve this?

    Alright no worries, I felt it was worth while looking at, although the unit is 4 days old in your hands, the software was likely installed longer than that, at the distribution centre.
    The next step we would likely do, is remove the com.apple.desktop.plist file to the desktop itself, this will encourage the operating system when restarted (or logged out) to regenerate a new file in its place.
    Although this is such an evasive step, and should cause no problems, since it is a user specific file, I do feel the need to tell you to backup any data first, and make sure you have everything covered before proceeding.
    I would expect nothing to go wrong in this process, honestly , but whenever a solution comes down to replacing files the operating system has in place, its worth covering.  If you are satisfied you have everything backed up, and wish to proceed,  the next steps are as follows:
    1) Open up a finder window, you can do this by clicking the square face symbol on your dock (half dark blue, half light blue).  You should have a finder menu bar running across the top of your screen, and 'Go' should be listed.
    2) Select 'Go' and this will drop down a list of places your system can go to.  Hold down the Option (alt) key on your keyboard and this will show the hidden 'library' in your drop down list. Select library.
    3) The finder window will now show the contents of your user library.  Find a folder called preferences in that folder and go into it.
    4) You will now see many com.apple.xxxx.plist files.  Find a file or files beginning in com.apple.desktop (com.apple.desktop.plist is the common one, but sometimes there is com.apple.desktop lockfiles also) and drag them to the desktop itself, make sure the files are actually moved to the desktop and not just copied.
    5) Once the files are moved to the desktop, and no longer exist in your preferences folder, restart the computer, and try again.  The computer at this point would have generated replacement files.

  • MBP Retina 13" Display Problems

    Hi,
    I have a new 13" MBP Retina (late 2013).
    I'm seeing random visual artefacts on the screen:
    - Occasionally I see lines flashing across the screen
    - Text wobbling in Finder when opening and closing folders
    Has anyone else seen these types of problem?
    I'm still within the 14 day return period, and I'm considering taking the MBP back.
    Regards
    Darren.

    thanks! yeah i recorded it so i hope they will take the problem more seriously.
    Unfortunately i don't have an applecare protection plan, but i hope that the proof that i've been in an apple store for the same issue already in april will help me somehow.
    I also think that when i touch with my hand both chassis and display i make some connection working again. Maybe i'm the radioactive man, or i have some special powers...or for the first time time in my life i bought a bugged apple product. But i think is more possible one of the first two options!

  • Serious video streaming problems (ichat and slingbox)

    My 1.8Ghz SSD Macbook Air (10.5.2) doesn't seem to be able to handle even low quality video streaming. After a few of minutes of viewing, the image on the Slingplayer or from incoming ichat conference starts freezing and the laptop becomes almost impossible to control (skipping cursor movements, incredibly slow typing on ichat).
    I can see what happens to the CPU thanks to Menumeters: one of the two cores stops completely (0% activity), probably to avoid excessive temperature increase.
    The bottom line though is that I can't use ichat video or my slingbox (both perform very well on my other Macbook).
    Is there a way to fix this?

    Sounds like a heat issue that others are running into. Not good

  • Video Streaming problem in ios 8.2

    I have recently updated my ipad air to ios 8.2 and from then on the video streaming on any of the applications installed is not working at all. Whether its the app or video streaming on safari nothing is working. I've checked youtube applications and browser version and all other video streaming sites like vimeo etc, none of them are working. I've also checked apple TV, the video streaming on that is also not working. But streaming on my desktop PC is working just fine.
    I've reset configurations, I've reinstalled everything, even then its not working at all. Anybody has any solutions.
    Thanks,

  • E3000 video streaming problem

    Hello, I just bought the E3000 router and I tried to set up a home network. I have a WD TV Live hooked up with a 150 Mbps wireless adapter (Airties 2310),when I try to stream 1080p (mkv, 10557 Kbps) video from my desktop which is connected by gigabit ethernet to the router there is a lot of stucking and skipping in the video. But if I connect the WD TV Live via ethernet the video plays perfectly even though it has lower bandwidth, but I just connected ethernet for testing, I cannot use it regularly. The WD TV is located in the next room to the router(about 15 meters of distance). Please help me solve this problem.

    The wireless strength is great it looks like this:
    http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/9248/sam0906i.jpg
    it can be 3 bars occasionally. Sorry for the delay of my reply I wasn't home for a while. Some body said that this might be caused by the network adapter, and that I should buy a 300 mbps one because mine doesn't fully support wireless n. I dont know if that is right. I tried to transfer data through the same desktop to a laptop with intel wifi link 5100, the speed was between 9 MB/s and 12 MB/s (the network status on the laptop showed 72 mbps but it supports 300 mbps). Maybe the router is faulty?

  • IBook G4 video streaming problem

    I wasn't quite sure which forum to post this in, so I chose this one because it's kind of an internet related problem.
    Anyway, whenever I stream a video over the internet on my iBook G4 (1.33GHz 12" version) using either Safari or Firefox the processor temperature rapidly increases from around 50 degrees celsius (122 F) to 63.5 C (146.3 F) causing the fan to activate.
    When watching a video saved on my hard drive the temperature barely increases, it just seems to be when I stream them online.
    Any ideas as to why the processor gets so warm so quickly when streaming a video?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Solved it myself.
    ¿And how, may I ask?

  • G585 Video Streaming Problem

    Hello. I've got a Lenovo G585 that's about 4 months old. I've already had a few problems with it but they just seem to fix themselves.. But for about a month now, I go on youtube and try to stream a video, and my internet cuts off immediately! Literally. I can't go on any website after this, all I can do to fix this is turning my computer on and back on. I tried logging out but that doesn't change anything. It's very annoying because everytime this happens I have to drop everything I was doing to restart my computer. You could tell me "Just don't go on youtube" Buut I love youtube and I use it quite a lot. Please help! Thank you

    hi itszoegee,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    What you're encountering is really weird as your internet connection just cuts off when you go to youtube. Perhaps you have a security software that automatically locks down your internet connection when you access certain websites? It'll also be helpful to know if your IP address gets change, the security software that you use, or the internet goes from Internet Access to Limited Connectivity during the incident.
    Also, try to boot in Safe Mode with Networking and see if the problem persists (this will isolate the issue of a third party software that might be causing the issue)
    Let me know your findings,

  • AirPlay video streaming problem

    Hi,
    Whenever I stream a video to Apple TV from either an iPad or iPhone (via AirPlay) the picture is slightly zoomed in on my television. This problem seems to occur on all video apps, e.g. YouTube etc., and I have experienced it on both the 720p and 1080p versions of Apple TV. I guess this is something to do with the resolution that the video is being streamed in?
    I would be very grateful if anyone had any advice on how to solve this.

    Managed to sort it out. The solution for anyone with the same problem is to turn your TV's "full pixel" mode on.

  • Sound and video streaming problem

    My iPad has an intermittent issue, where the sound/clicker doesn't work, and video and music streaming doesn't work, or constantl plays-then the sond stops and streaming stops! Trying to press the volume buttons doesnt help as the volume icon doesn't appear straight away. Usually nothing happens when they are pressed.
    However, all is fine when the iPad is charging!
    I've tried updating and going back different iPad software versions, resetting the device. Now I am fully discharging the battery to see if a full charge up helps.
    Anyone having similar problems , or suggestions to get this sorted?

  • MBP 15" video card problems while on battery power

    I have a MBP 15" that I got about 3 weeks ago. I noticed that when I put it on battery power the video display becomes broken up laterally. I can drag the window or app window out of view then back into view and its ok. But if I start scrolling again, the text, image, video or whatever is on screen becomes distorted.
    could this be a bad video card? should I try to get it replaced?
    Any insights?
    thanks!

    I'm having the same issue--it looks like a tearing or smearing of lines of text, mainly in Safari, though I have seen it in Mail. I haven't noticed it related to running on AC or battery, but it may be...I had an older MacBook Pro (core duo) running 10.5.2 that was fine and recently upgraded to a 2.4 Core 2 Duo and this problem has popped up.
    This issue looks suspiciously like a problem I was having on a Mac Pro with the ATI1900 card--it was brushed off for ages as a "heat problem" or the like with the card, and then miraculously after months of waiting a firmware update came out that completely cleared up the problem...

  • MBP retina display refresh problems

    My MacBook Pro Retina Display laptop is having display refresh issues. hard to explain whats going on, but its basicly lagging. When I open a new window, not everything shows up, sometimes only a button will show up. If the whole window does show up and I try to move it, the frame will be ghosted where every I move it. The only way I found to fix this is to restart the computer.
    Its completely updated
    I tried turning off the automatic graphics switching

    Yes I have a gripe at the trend in Apple design towards a sealed box design. I don't care about batteries bieng selad in or screens being fused to the lid but I do want to choose upgrade RAM later and HD later. I also would like to have a desktop replacement mobile workstation with options of 2GB of KQuadro 1000 or 2000 and of adding up to 32GB of RAM. This is not advanced tech but readily available from two leading windows vendors.
    I prefer to stay with Apple as its customer care and quality control is superior. However, I cannot buy such an expensive computer with so little upgrade potential and merely 1GB of VRAM. I agree the Retina display is wonderful but very few of my clients will ever use one to see my content.
    HP has come out with a modular design for their Z820 towers and mobile workstations which are well up to Apple standards. Their customer support is not and that's why I'd like to stay with Apple.
    I am merely griping about the closed box approach and I am not alone amongst the content creators who kept Apple afloat before it dropped computer from its name. I merely want to choose when I upgrade my RAM and HD and choose the GPU on a top of the line PRO laptop. Is that really asking too much? Why would Apple not want my custom anymore? Why do you think it's just griping? I could reply: do you accept everything you are given?
    We should be on the same side. I have bought Apple computers for years and my studio has a fleet of Mac Pros and more.

    There are no USB 2 or 3 connections problems I know of - or that I have noticed. Dull Screens? Yellow Tinged? First I hear of it. Do you just have a gripe that you can't order 32GB Ram with it (show me a windows system in even close to the same package / dimensions that does) or some other video card?
    If there is a refresh problem, it seems to be limited at this point.

  • Z3 video streaming problem

    newly buy Z3 mobile videos not supporting the MP4. Please advice how to rectify.

    Okay I really need help with this one! I will list my gear that works and the gear that does not. Hopefully this will work better then my other way of explaining...
    Works:
    . Video files stored on a USB and internal drive p4 XP desktop used as a server
    . Toshiba $499 special celeron laptop Wireless "G"
    . 2Wire supplied by ATT Wireless "G"
    . Via network folder connection click on file I want to play very few stutters even with near (?) HD quality
    Does not work:
    . Time Capsule or iMac hosting files over "N" or "G" or cat5e to TC
    . MBP or MB over wireless "N" or "G"
    . Massive stutters and freezing
    . Stutters even with MBP 6 inches from TC
    . Stutters regardless if files are stored on the Internal drive or USB Drive
    Networking hardware available to me:
    . Time Capsule "N"
    . Airport Express "N"
    . 2wire "G"
    . Air disc connected to TC USB
    . USB drive connected to iMac
    What I would like to do is get rid of the windows machines! I am willing to store the files on the iMac with connected USB drive or even better air disc USB to TC.
    Please help even if its a little small suggestion! I really need to figure this one out!
    Thank You for your time
