Noticeable lag when using drawing tablet, streaming video, and simple games

Hi, I'm using a Toshiba Satellite Laptop model A335D-S69221. There is a noticeable lag when using my drawing tablet, streaming videos (such as youtube), and games that are not "fast" such as This War of Mine and Don't Starve. All drivers and the system is newly wiped and up to date. When visiting web pages if there are embedded videos it causes a whole system lag until it either asks me to stop script or I close the page. Colors and graphics look just fine. No problem playing fully downloaded videos. The programs themselves work just fine and the lag only happens with the above mentioned activities. Not a virus.
Is this an issue that can be solved by increasing the RAM from 4GB to 6GB or 8GB? Or is it an issue with the graphics card? I suspect RAM but don't want to shell money on the wrong thing. Most of the programs say 4GB is required but it almost seems bare minimum. Is my laptop even worth upgrading?
Unfortunately it takes away my ability to draw and makes gaming progress annoyingly slow. Once the lagging action is complete it works ok but just repeats.
Windows 7 Home Premium
Processor: AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core RM-72 210 GHz
ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics
Memory: 4GB
64-bit

this is my personal opinion as a guy who had more than 5 pcs, 4 gaming laptops and other mac books for work in the past.
I believe it is slightly an older model of Toshiba you are using, your drawing tablet relies on your Ram but not as much as it relies on your GPU which would be the graphics card processor. So none of those upgrades will give you a significant change on things you want to do.
I would rather suggest you a newer model for the things you do with your budget than getting rams for your computer. Both of you are processor and graphics card.
If you want to upgrade, Ram is your cheapest option, but check out the slots, usually they have 2 slots, and 2 x 2GB on them, so if you buy a 4GB , you get 6. DDR II is kinda out of date with current programs and software, keep that in consideration aswell.
I do not think any upgrade you spend money on will give you the speed you want to feel.

Thanks again. I tried channel 13 and it seemed to work better, with less dropouts (albeit not perfect) but sadly my slightly ageing laptop wouldn't recognise the network at all with the Hub set to that channel, so I had to switch it back to 11!
Will try the factory reset at some point to see if that improves things.
I have the same issue with my iPad when streaming videos...like the issue posted on ‎25-04-2014 18h36 by Steve.
Steve - Can you kinldy clarify how you resolved the problem finally.
I was infact planning to change the iPad or sell it off due to this recurring problem.
Thanks and regards

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.
I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
I get video every time. HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
just no audio. Any suggestions?
I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

Claudiamil-
I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did. I'm using a small Vizio HDTV. I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers. In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down. Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

I use my camera for video and photos. When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play on my ipad. Is there a way I can get them to play?

I use my camera for video and photos. When I download my videos to my ipad1 using the camera connection kit, they will not play.
Does anyone know how I can make this work?

Yvonne-
I haven't tried videos on my camera yet. Do you use the Videos App to play them? I don't think they will play in the Photos App.
If yours are in a format that is not in Vazandrew's list, you may need to sync them to your computer and convert them to M4V or MP4 format. You can use a program like HandBrake to do the conversion. <HandBrake> Once converted, you can sync them back to the iPad and they should play.
This may not meet your needs, but the alternative appears to be getting a different camera. I don't know of another Video App that might work.

After upgrading to yosemite, my Cintiq lags when using photoshop, any fixes?

I've upgraded my iMac to Yosemite and photoshop CC 2014 lags when using my wacom cintiq. So far these are the steps I've taken.
I've installed wacom drivers from nov 2014 because the jan 2015 drivers didn't help
Doesn't seem to be a ruler issue within photoshop
I've renamed my adobe photoshop prefs file
and running osx 10.10.2

Not true. iCloud still works with Mavericks.
What browser are you using?
It would help to give us more information. You can download Etrecheck, which is a small free app which will generate a system report on your mac and you can paste the report here in a response. http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
Have you used any "maintenance" or "cleaner" apps like MacKeeper or CleanMyMac in the past?
Do you have third-party antivirus software on your Mac?

Streaming video and USB woes

Hello, I have 10.5.7 installed on a macbook pro (october 2006 model).
When I am watching streaming video in safari (I'm a baseball fan, and keep up with my team on mlb.tv), I have issues with my USB ports. For some reason, they turn off and on while streaming video. All of my harddrives, mouse, and keyboard disconnect and reconnect a few seconds later. I am using 2 powered USB hubs and the issue happens no matter the configuration. And it only happens when I stream a video (in flash, if that matters).
Please tell me there is a fix, because my computer is basically unusable when this starts to happen.
Thanks,
-Daniel Brim

If you have items connected directly to the computer, do you have issues? Try connecting 2 peripherals at a time to your computer (or 3, if you have that many USB ports on the computer) and see if they work fine. If so, the problem may be with the hubs you're using.

E1500 wireless router having problems streaming video and netflix

We got a new E1500 router 2 nights ago. The internet works fine, but it has big trouble streaming videos and Netflix, those types of things. I have changed my MTU setting and all the settings suggested in the "Guide Me" section. My drivers are up to date on my router and on my pc. It just started happening with this router. We had a Netgear before and we have no problems streaming at all. I have rebooted and reset the router and cable modem.
Does anyone else have some suggestions I can try?
Thanks,
Debbie

The concern that you have is for both wired and wireless or just for the wireless? If it is for wireless then try these troubleshooting steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] Then go to the Wireless tab, change Channel width to 20 MHz only and change the Channel to 6, 9, 11...Save the settings..
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
Then check the status of streaming video and netflix.

Logic audio engine crashes while streaming video and recording 4 channels simultaneous audio

logic audio engine crashes while streaming video and recording 4 channels simultaneous audio

Hi there,
I also wanted to thank you for your response and let you know that I have tried all those trouble shooting things you suggest to no avail.
it seems to me that the first explanations are most likely to be the case.
namely that the program can multithread while the plugs only use one processor (particularly EXS24) which is bloody useless.
also increasing the buffer to 1024 is not an option cause you gotta bloody lay tracks, which means you gotta hear the BG tracks and play yours on top in time otherwise, you record your new tracks and they are so out of time that it sounds like a little kid wanking on a guitar or whatever...
and of course for composition with midi intruments it doesn't work at all cause your latency becomes so huge that you would need a miracle to quantize your off time notes back to normal so that you can arrange, print score, etc.
either way, I hope that my tone is not disrespectful, it is aimed at apple in frustration, I'm grateful for your help.
thank you
David

Use HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS) and HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) to serve live streams to clients over HTTP

I have created a live stream of a video and it gets stored in live folder.
Now i need to use HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS) and HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) to serve live streams to clients over HTTP, publish the streams to the HTTP Live Packager service on Flash Media Server.
So what necessary steps do I need to follow to do that ??

You need to generate a manifest file using Configurator tool and placed it under the webroot directory.

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.
