My Macbook Pro seems unable to stream videos properly!

I have tried every browser and updated flash player. Videos are jittery and slow when played in full screen.

Solution may be found if you search in the "More Like This" section over in the right column.

Hi, my Retina MacBook Pro 13' can't stream videos.

I just bought it like 3 months ago branch new and it will get through a 3 minute YouTube video and stop 20 seconds in and take an eternity to load anything else. Same with flash video, same with streaming like hulu. It seems to be performing fine. I use Ableton Live music software and it handles just fine. Other apps work great like pages and VLC. I dunno, I need help though because my computer just won't stream anything! What's up?!?

It seems that the slowness is not due to your machine or any apps on your machine but rather in the speed of your Internet connection.
Since I'm a Bright House customer, I use their servers to test my broadbad speed:
Check with your Internet Service Provider to see if they offer servers for speed tests. If not, you can always use Speedtest.net to check your speed.
Using your ISPs servers will give you the closest to your 'real' speeds, however. I find that Speedtest can report as much as 10% less than your real speeds.
Good luck,
Clinton

I have a new macbook pro and just made a video on imovie and it asked me to put it on idvd but there is no idvd listed as an option. How can I get idvd?

Since Apple has stopped supporting and offering iDVD you'll need to purchase the iLIfe 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11 which will include iDVD 7.

buckmacie,
has the video been completely downloaded onto your MacBook Pro when you start to play it? Or are you playing it while it downloads, AKA streaming it?

Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime?

Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime? When my girlfriend and I are trying to watch a movie on Netflix together while on FaceTime my MacBook Pro always decreases the volume of any background sound on my computer so I can barely hear it. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!

Have the same issue too. Apple can you please change this annoying feature. You are making long distance relationships more difficult.
I like how Facetime was with the old iOS, where nothing was dimmed. OR at least maybe if you could give users the option to turn on or off dimming of facetime.

In any particular app, or all of them?

Brand new MacBook Pro can't handle 720p Video in iMovie?

Well, my Black 2.0 GHz Core Duo MacBook has been replaced by the new 13" 2.26 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro (I had to pay the difference) and I had it upgraded to 4GB of Ram and a 320GB Hard Drive!
I use a Kodak z1085 IS Digital Camera that records videos in 720p quality. When I import them into iMovie '09, I get this message:
This is the same thing that I got on my Core Duo MacBook. If I did not optimize the video, it would play choppy and could not keep up. On my new MacBook Pro, I still get this message saying that "my computer can't handle it." I can undersatnd my old Core Duo MacBook not being able to handle it, but when a brand new $2000 MacBook Pro can't handle 720p video, somthing has to be wrong here.
Are there cretin specs that indicate what computer can handle what? I'm guessing that this MacBook Pro CAN handle it, but why am I still getting that message? Do I need a $10,000 Mac Pro Tower system to make it happy?
Can anyone please explain this and help me out?
Thanks,
Scott

+Well... for starters, the 2.26GHz MB Pro is not a $2,000 machine.+
Sorry...$1.5 thousand. Still too much for a brand machine that isn't "powerful enough" to run software that came out before the computer did.
+For all intents and purposes, it's an entry level notebook (despite the name "Pro")... with only slightly higher specifications than the white MacBook.+
So its only slightly better then the model that can only handle solitaire or any other basic application? I find it odd Apple would include iLife if these machines can't handle all of the features that they are supposed to. Pro means professional. that means this machine should be able to handle PRO applications like Final Cut, etc. But how can it if it can't even handle iMovie! Not to mention they screwed us out of using the old version...so I am stuck using this version!
+I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say your black MacBook was replaced by a new 2.26GHz machine... but you had to pay the difference... It sounds like you were perhaps having problems with your MacBook and Apple allowed you to upgrade to the newest version paying something additional. If that's the case, it sounds like they were very generous as you had a first gen MacBook that was about three years old.+
Yes that is exactly what happened. My Black MacBook had many issues. I sent it in for repair three times and even took it to an Apple store when I was on vacation. (don't have any apple stores where I live) All of these repairs did not fix the problems and they kept on coming! So they offered to just replace it. But they don't sell the Black MacBook anymore. Only the white...and I don't like the white (thats why I bought the black!) so that is when they offered me the MacBook Pro if I paid the difference. In which I did. So that is how I got my new MacBook Pro.
+Are you saying that your video plays choppy on your new machine... or just that you get the message stating that it may play poorly?+
Both....It shows that message, and does play somewhat choppy. Not as choppy as the old MacBook though.
Like I said, I'd just like to know what Apple calls "good enough" so it doesn't display that warning.

Ask Panasonic whether or not they provide OSX versions of the software.

Battery in 2-month old MacBook Pro seems to be losing charge faster.

The battery in my 2-month old MacBook Pro seems to be losing charge more quickly. Also does not charge to 100% as it used to when new.

Hi A,
You have 3 months of free AppleCare phone support, and a 1 year hardware warranty. If I was concerned about anything on my new MBP, I'd contact Apple.

My 2011 MacBook Pro seems to be running a lot slower.

My 2011 MacBook Pro seems to be running a lot slower then when i first bought it with OS X Lion and now it is running OS X Mountain Lion? So I had the express lane call me to try to go back to OS X Lion to see of that was the problem but the guy said apple "doesn't support going back to previos OS systems".If anyone can tell me how to maybe clean out my mac (was a windows user before) or maybe how to go back to OS X Lion from Mountain Lion.Also I have never used timemachine before so I cant use that to go back to OS X Lion.

The fan seems to be running alot as well and the MBP isn,t that old only 6-7 months at the outside , could it be anything else possibly or do you definately think it is the Crashing issue

Go to system profiler and report back the amount of RAM that you have.
Make sure that you have at least 20% of your hard drive free.
Make sure you don't have a lot of items on your desktop as that can slow things down.
Quit applications that aren't responding or you aren't using and won't be using for a while.
~/Library/Caches Quit all applications and delete this folder. Do a regular delete then do a secure erase on all the items that won't delete.
If it only happens with a certain application (Safari for example)...
1. Quit the application (Safari)
2. Open ~/Library/Preferences and find the file for safari (com.apple.Safari.plist).
3. Put the file in the trash. Do NOT empty the trash yet. Open the application and make sure everything's ok. Now you can delete the file. In Mail if you trash the file, you will get rid or your setup.
Make sure that your dashboard doesn't have too many widgets and use Activity Monitor to see what it's using.
There are ways to disable if you want to.
Make sure that all of your software is up to date.
Repair permissions (it can't hurt)
Don't have a lot of login items.
Your internet browser shouldn't have a lot of extensions.
I hope this helps

MacBook Pro (Late 2010) not booting up properly

I have a late 2010 MacBook Pro that will not start up properly, when I hit the power button the screen flashes white with the chime but no apple logo. The screen then turns off and the white indicator light starts flashing(at normal sleep speed) a few moments after bootup. During this process the magstrip stays solid green the entire time. While the front indicator is solid I tried making sure my screen brightness was not down or if I could turn up the brightness on my keyboard (which I couldnt) and the green light for the caps lock wouldnt come on either.
I have read through some other posts and have reset the NVRAM and tried to boot into safe mode, however I can not do such a thing with the screen turning off right after bootup.
Any help would be greatly appercaited, it was just working the other day and hasnt been moved so I'm lost as to what is wrong

Kinger2010,
you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it reach the login screen now?

MacBook Pro display doesn't close down properly.

We have one MacBook Pro that doesn't close down properly. The display just bounces up. Is there any way to fix this or is this something that needs to be fixed by a technician?

Try blowing out the slots where the two "prongs" come up, and the release button slot (push it in and out a bit while doing this) with compressed air. (use your lungs if you don't have a can of air).
Often a bit of crumb or other gunk will impede the mechanism enough to prevent the magnets from being able to do their job properly.
Cheers
Rod
