Quicktime Causes Computer to Slow Down/Lock Up

Hello, for the past few days, I've encountered an odd problem with Quicktime. When I try loading .mov and .m4v files, Quicktime will cause my computer to lockup for a few seconds then go back to normal. If I attempt to even move the window around, my machine will lock up for a few seconds then return to it's normal state. Now, that's just with moving the window around, if I actually try to play a video, forget it. The sound stutters, no video, computer goes berserk, the only way to stop it is to minimize(which causing everything to go back to normal) and shut it down through the Task Manager.
I have not installed any third-party plugins for Quicktime, and this seems to have started when I upgraded to 7.3.1. Another interesting tidbit, there's some .mov files I can play and others I cannot. For example, I can play an h264 .mov file perfectly, but an h264 .m4v will cause my computer to lock up.

Just spent the past 10 min creating an account and alias just for this post. I'm having a similiar problem. Quicktime seems to lock my computer for a min when I try to play videos in a web browser.
Try this if you're having a web browswer problem, open a quicktime video, preferably from your harddrive, directly into your quicktime player. If it asks to restore mime/file type associations then click yes, this is hopefully the fix. Now try to play any quicktime video on the internet and see if it stutters.
This seems to have worked for me, for now. I've also tried other things that worked for a little bit. There are two addons loaded into IE and took turns disabling them and trying to play in IE. Disabling one of them seemed to work, but then it started stuttering again the other day. I've tried playing videos in firefox, same problem. Course I tried updating. Uninstalling and reinstalling ect. I actually had quicktime completly wiped off my computer for a few weeks cause I was sick of it taking my system from me every time I tried to watch a video in the web browser.
anyway, tell me how it works

  • I am having issues related to storage and I believe this is causing my computer to slow down. "Other" files part is the major occupier(180 GB). I have done Omni disk and multiple other cleaning(iTunes-device, restart, etc), yet have not been able to empty

    I am having issues related to storage and I believe this is causing my computer to slow down. "Other" files part is the major occupier(180 GB). I have done Omni disk and multiple other cleaning(iTunes-device, restart, etc), yet have not been able to empty any more space, nor to speed up my computer? Any suggestions? All your contributions are welcomed. Thanks. Mehmet Mazhar Celikoyar

  • Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ?

    Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ? how involved to replace fan ? cost ?
    thanks

    Not directly, but if the CPU overheats because of incompatible software, that would cause slowdowns. Do not allow the computer to run if the fan is not working unless you wish to fry your motherboard. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • My computer system slows down after starting firefox 3.6.6, how do I revert to 3.5 version?

    My computer system slows down noticeably after starting Firefox 3.6.6, so I would like to shift back to the 3.5 version. What website in the Internet do I go to get the installer file?

  • Wetransfer js error causes my computer to slow down

    Every time I send a file via WeTransfer I end up with a js error and then my MacBook Pro slows down to a grinding halt...literally. You can hear the hard drive grinding away. Every time I try to move the mouse or select a file or drop down I get the beachball which will hang for about 10-15 seconds before anything happens. I end up having to shut down all my programs and restarting to get the laptop back to normal. This only happens with WeTransfer. Any ideas what I can do to resolve the issue other than not using WeTransfer?

    First my computer turns off and goes black, then this window shows up...
    After that this shows up after typing in my password on the log in page...
    If I leave the HD plugged in after clicking either response the computer will just shut down again.
    If I unplug the HD this window shows up explaining the problem...

  • Does locked documents in sm12 can cause system to slow down in reading

    hi experts,
    When I check locked entries in sm12, i found some locked entries which are already past 8 hours and sometimes more. Do those entries contribute to the system's slow performance? When should I delete those entries? I hesitate to delete locked entries and kick users out of the system because they maybe editting some documents and have'nt saved them yet.
    Thank you in advance for your response.

    Hello,
    System Lock mechanism doesn't slow down system. But sometime it's required to delete the entries of hanged uses login processes, which can be done through SM04/AL08 as described by GURUS.
    But sometime though you try to delete from these T-Code the process doesn't get delted, then you can proceed for the below mnetioned two steps:
    1. SM50 and delete the corresponding process through PROCESS > CANCEL WITHOUT CORE
                                                                                    PROCESS > RESTART AFTER ERROR -> NO
    2. If you have access to OS level, then the same can be deleted by following command:
                                                                                    kill -9 <process no.>
    In case any issue, please feel free to revert.
    Reagrds,

  • Shutting down iTunes causes system to slow down

    When ever I shut down iTunes my computer slows down considerably. When I check windows task manager under processes it shows iTunes to be still active and taking up about 90% of my system resources. I have to shut down iTunes in task manager to solve this problem. Does anyone know what may cause this?

    When your mailboxes were moved to Office 365, your directory should have been updated so it pointed to the mailboxes in Office 365, not to your local Exchange 2003 mailboxes.  Just thinking this through, I think your consultant didn't do a complete
    job.  With the Exchange 2013 PowerShell tools, you should be able to update your 500 accounts so they point to the proper system for the mailboxes.

  • Probook 6540b; more memory causes system to slow down dramatical​ly

    Hi,
    I have a Probook 6540b with Intel i5 and I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
    I bought the notebook with 4GB RAM installed. I heard from the supplier that the computers tend to be "buggy" with more than 2GB RAM, but I needed the memory so I didn't mind much.
    Recently my computer slowed down significantly. Taking ages to boot up and just as long to open even an internet browser.
    Remembering what the supplier told me I removed the extra 2GB RAM and my computer suddenly responded as if it was brand new.
    I would like to be able to have 4GB RAM available, but not at the cost of performance.
    Is there a solution available?
    P.S.. The extra 2G RAM is a Kingston module - if that could be of any help...

    Turns out it was a problem with the battery and removing the RAM was just a fluke... Sorry...

  • AddressBookSourcesSync Causing Sever Laptop Slow Down

    After updating to iOS 5 and Icloud my Laptop has some severe slow down issues.

    I have the same problem. While working I can detect a major slowdown that almost brings my iMac to a halt. Activity Monitor always shows addressbooksync using 80 - 95% of CPU. I quit the process to get back to work until the next sync.
    This is a major issue that will soon drive me to turn off iCloud. Unfortunately my iPhone and iPad use will suffer.
    Any solutions out there?

  • Computer to computer copy slows down over internal airport network over time

    This is a strange problem but here goes...
    Some useful background info:
    I have recently successfully downloaded a 212MB file from a site on the internet through a new Apple Airport Express network I just created as a troubleshooting method in about 12 minutes or so and I don't seem to have any slowing down issues with internet connections to websites and downloads.
    The issue I seeing with internal network copies:
    When I try to copy files from an Apple PowerBook G4 running Leopard 10.5.2 to an iMac G5 running the same version of the OS, copies over the internal network exhibit a very odd behavior. The copy is from the Power Book G4's Public folder to any folder on the iMac.
    The copy starts in The Finder just fine and seems to be going very fast as expected by an internal network copy but after some short arbitrary amount of time, the copy slows down, the estimated times grows slowly but consistently for the copy to complete and eventually the OS says there was a problem and the copy fails. There's no error number of message other than the copy couldn't be completed. As I mentioned above, the time to complete the transfer id initially estimated as a very short amount of time but eventually, the copy action hits a brick wall where it slows down further and further until it fails.
    Other notes: the copy I've been attempting consists of files and folders that are of various sizes but I've tried it with small and large copies and this has worked fine in the past with Leopard and other, older OS' over the WRT54G's wireless network. I created the Airport Express network to see if that would solve this problem but it hasn't which makes me think the issue is with the router and not the wireless network.
    Additional details:
    Sometimes, the reported copy slowdown occurs at 5MB into the copy, other times it doesn't happen until it gets about 50MB into the copy. What's strange to me is, large file downloads over the Internet are just fine. There does appear to be some burst that degrades a bit over time but not like the internal network copy's speed which just drops off really quickly.
    I have been successful in the past copying from Mac to Mac over this exact same router using the WTR54G's wireless network but I started having problems fairly recently and now the copy doesn't finish over the WRT54G or the Airport Express network that I recently created to see if the issue was with the WRT54G's wireless network settings or hardware.
    There's plenty of free space on the machine that I'm copying to but this happens repeatedly when I try to copy from one computer running Leopard to another.
    I don't think this issue is related to the Airport Express because I recently created a new network to test this issue called Bedroom Airport Express. Previously, when I'd been successful performing these types of transfers, I was using the LinkSys WRT54G's built in wireless capabilities and had no issues using Go To and entering the computer's IP address.
    The router is still the WRT54G on ATT's DSL network using DHCP and there's no special config., other than that I had to re-IP the internal network to 192.168.199.1 for work related reasons but that's about it.
    The MTU had to be increased to 1492 for the internet to work properly when I got my first WRT54G; an older version of this device that I replaced recently with a new one [although this copy worked with the new one as well prior to the issue I'm posting about coming up].
    The firmware version of the WTR54G router is v8.00.2 and the Airport Express has been recently updated to the latest firmware available (this issue was occurring over the WRT54G's wireless network before the firmware upgrade to the Airport Express).
    If anyone knows what if anything I can do to troubleshoot what the issue is, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
    This networking stuff is a bit of a black art to those of us that are dilettantes in this arena and I certainly qualify as a dabbler in the art of network configuration.
    I've been using a LinkSys router for a long time with a Mac/PC internal network that connects to the internet and computers inside the internal network for many years now and have had few issues.
    Thanks in advance,
    Darin

    I'm new to the Apple discussions, although not new to Apple computers and I've seen that this post has received quite a few views but no responses. Maybe someone could direct me to the right place to post this, if this is not that place, or, suggest some terminal tools that I could use to troubleshoot the issue with the Airport network or LinkSys Router I'm using [WTR54G v.8.0.0.x]? Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide to a networking noobie.

  • Quicktime causes computer to restart

    Whenever I try to launch Quicktime - my computer will automatically restart - this only happens with Quicktime and the associated video files - ie. when I try to drop an mp4 file into itunes - it does the restarting thing as well. I have tried the uninstall and reinstall many times but to no avail. Any ideas as to why this is happening?? Could it be a virus??

    i am having the same problem. whats the deal? why doesnt apple come up with a solution for this. the problem is quicktime 7, because 6 worked great.
