Safari pause & start slow loading for live internet video & question marks

Hello,
I like to watch this live show on marilyn.ca and if I use Safari a segment takes forever to load and when it does it stops and starts and keeps loading after a few seconds. This never happens on Firefox with the same URL.
Then I sometimes open a new page and see a question mark where there should be a photo. I have Perian installed and Flip 4 Mac. Again in Firefox I have no problems. I used to always use Firefox then switched back to Safari. Is there a way to solve these 2 problems?

Hi,
Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions.
If you have any installed, turn that off, try that site.
For photos... back to the menu bar, click Safari / Preferences then select the Appearance tab.
Make sure: *Display images when the pages loads* is selected.

  • Audio input for live music video, question

    Hi
    I'm wanting to use imovie to record some solo guitar performances. I would like to be able to process the audio through logic pro as I record the live audio and video. I have a digi003 audio interface and am able to use it as my audio input no problem, but am not able to add reverb and eq through logic pro. I open both apps and in logic I get the processed sound but as I record in imovie I only record the unprocessed guitar. How would i be able to do this? Thanks for the help!!

  • Safari is extremely slow loading web pages, i have to latest software, no updating needed

    Safari is really slow loading internet pages and uploading images. I have the latest software update. I just purchased this mac book pro within the last 3 months..just frustrating that it's already this slow so soon....Any suggestions? I called tech support and nothing they walked me through helped. He was going to reinstall everything but I wanted to wait and see if there was anything else I could possible do before considering I just got this notebook, I hate to reinstall everything. It seems like there should be a simpler solution...

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
    Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Try quitting the PDF apps and Safari like I describe below. Then reset the iPad. After it starts try again.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Safari slow loading whilst on internet

    Can anyone help outi have tried resetting safari,emptying the cache, deleting emails,deleting history it will run ok when first logged on anf after about 5 mins starts to load the pages slowly.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.

    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Safari blank page or loading for ages and then timeout!

    Hi, this is my first topic so please any reply would be much appreciated. I had a week holiday when my Mac was switched off. Before that I havent noticed any problem with it, everything was working fine and fast. I came back on the 1st, had some updates installed on the 2nd and since then I barely can search the web. The pages loading for ages, after that sometimes get info that Im not connected to the web or timeout or the server doesnt respond to that website. BUT my Skype is still fine I even had a two way video call and was perfectly working. 1st I thought it was Safari so I downloaded Mozzilla but I had the same issue with that. Sometimes Safari works ok for a while and then all of a sudden just try to go to another page from what I used and was ok and that new page just doesnt load. I emptied the cache, I reset Safari and after that my topsites never work again. Well not never but once I used something from there I will not be able to go back and use another one. Since the reset I cant even see all the icons in my TOPSites. This problem is killing me now, dont really now what to do, this is my first Mac and I bought it last october. Still have plenty to learn.
    My Safari version is 4.0.5.
    thanks

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Since you have already emptied the cache and reset Safari...
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. *Make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
    

Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the addrMss bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    If you still have problems with Safari, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

  • Safari is Extremely slow loading pages, like Hotmail, eBay, CNN,

    For the past few days, Safari has been extremely slow loading most all pages, especially Hotmail, eBay, CNN, etc. Apple support hasn't been able to help. Hve done all the normal stuff, Reset Safari, restarted, etc.... eventually reloaded Leopard, with all updates, 10.5.2. Still slow uploading pages. Have checked network with speedtest.net, Download 5019 kb/s, Upload 363 kb/s. Was told by everyone I asked, these were good speeds, "normal." But it takes 20 seconds - 60 seconds sometime to upload a page. Have watched "activity monitor" under network, "data sent" goes out fast, data received seems to come back but then stalls. I'm not sure of what numbers I should be getting on the return. Any suggestions????

    READ my post, March 17, for answers. I read other post, March 15-08, by Toshinmac and March 17-08 post by Rudolf, answered by Hawaiian Starman and Klaus1. My problem decribed there, with Time-Warner/Roadrunner DNS settings. Followed advice... Problem Solved! Thanks to ALL for their input!!!! A Beachbum!

  • Creating a custom player for live streaming video

    I have live streaming video set up where I use the Flash Media Encoder to send the live stream to a Flash Media Server. Then, the Flash Media server packages this stream, and sends it to whatever websites requests it via the url. I know how to create a Flash move or even asc file, and then have Flash generate the html for that saved movie so that I can embed it in a web page and play it. But in the case of live streaming video, there is no pre made asc file or movie to reference. So I need some help about what I need to do to play live streaming video in a flash player embedded in a webpage, that will also have some custom action script for controlling playback and other things.

    About a half-hour after making the changes I outlined above, and long after I closed the active Safari window, noticed that my MBP was uncharacteristically hot. Extremely hot!
    Opened Activity Monitor and saw that Flash Player was still running (?) and using a tremendous amount of system resources. I then quit Safari altogether. Within moments, the heat began to subside.
    May be something you want to keep an eye on...

  • Seek option for Live Recording Video?

    High defenition video is getting recorded using Flash application and Flash Media server, there is another flash application to view the recording Stream (Live View).
    I wonder, is it possible to seek a particular position using the seek function in the viewer application ?
    i mean, is it possible to seek to a particular position when playing a live recording video ?
    Any input on this will really help me a lot.
    Thanks & Regards
    Devendran. I

    you can seek based on time so if the time sought has already been recorded, the seek should work.

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro start up? White screen and flashing question mark.

    Hi,
    I've had my MacBook Pro for almost 2 years now and I installed OS X 10.8 about 4 months ago.
    Today I turned the MacBook Pro on and a white screen with a flashing question mark appeared. I tried then getting the startup manager up: turning on the laptop and immediately holding in alt (option). But nothing appeared for about 25 seconds until a rotating Earth labelled 'Internet recovery' appeared that gave me options to join wireless connections. However, my internet wasn't in the options and when I tried typing in the information required to join my internet the laptop would just load and never find it.
    I then tried putting in my Mac OS X install DVD (10.6.7) and help in C until the apple logo appeared on the screen and the little rotating loading circle appeared. That then disappeared and a cicle with a cross through it appeared (similar to a no entry sign). Then after about 30 seconds a blue screen followed by a grey screen appeared until eventually the disc ran properly. I then went into Disk Utility but there was no option called Macintosh HD, only the discs content. It wouldn't let me first aid, erase or repair anything.
    I'm totally stumped and have 4 exams at university within the next 2 weeks. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me out here?
    Thanks,
    Best wishes,
    Connor

    The support article linked below is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to starting up from an installation disc, you should instead start up in Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    If you don't have a current backup of all the data on the startup volume, and you want to preserve that data, then you must try to back up before you do anything else. Ask for instructions if you need them.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to reinstall OS X from Recovery, if necessary. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

  • My mac book pro does not start but has error message with a question mark on screen. took it in and was told probably the hard drive as could not reconize it so bought new one but still not connecting.what do i do

    My mac book pro does not connect but shows an error message with a question mark on the screen.I took it to a retailer that said it was not reconizing the hard drive.He said i needed a new hard drive but it may be something else as well but he was sure a new hard drive would fix it.So putting faith in someone who deals with them i purchased a new hard drive to find it was still not working although he said the computer did know reconize the hard drive and i may have to send it away to get it checked .After already paying 120 pounds for a new hard drive and they wanting another 80.00 pounds to diagnose it i am a little sceptical.
    That's why i am interested on anyone's help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I think that your Mac detects your hard disk, but the problem is that your new hard disk doesn't contain any operating system, so your Mac doesn't find any bootable partition and you see a question mark.
    If your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. Then, just install Mac OS X. If the hard disk isn't prepared to install Mac OS X, you will have to erase it using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html

  • My iMac won't start up (no entry sign/folder with question mark)

    Hello,
    I recently updated the mac software through the App Store and it is now unable to start up.
    When it starts up it has a white screen and a folder icon with a question mark in it. However, sometimes it has a 'no entry' sign instead.
    I've found a few solutions online involving using the installation disk and holding certain buttons and going through safe mode but I'm not sure whether the mac is picking up my wireless keyboard. I've replaced the batteries and tried the wireless keyboard from my other mac but nothing has worked.
    Can anyone help?
    According to the box it is an iMac 27"/3.06/2x2GB/1TB/4670
    And it's running Mountain Lion- I can't be too sure exactly which version because I can't get to the system information.
    Thanks
    James

    Have you tried booting into the Recovery HD and using Disk Utility to check/repair the drive- restart holding Command + r

    If your Bluetooth keyboard doesn't seem to be working, can you borrow a USB wired (any make) keyboard just to try and make progress.
