Scrolling choppy and slow while ipod is playing

Hi i just purchased a 30GB iPod. I have noticed that while the iPod is playing music any scrolling that i do thru either my artists, songs or albums seems to be choppy and somewhat slower. I also noticed that while adjusting volume as it's playing seems to be choppy. I didn't observe any issues while the ipod is not playing.
I am a proud owner of 3rd and 4th generation iPods and never experianced this kind of 'hold up'. Perhaps this is normal in the 5th generation iPod.
Please help me understand if this is normal function in my brand new iPod.

Do have album art displayed on you iPod? I had this problem and once I removed the album art everything worked fine.

Thank you!

Hi Novagurl2369!
I have an article for you that can provide some helpful troubleshooting steps to address your issue:
No sound through stereo headset1
Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
Try a different song or video.
Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.

After closing Firefox to use IE8 or any other program (like InterVideo to watch a DVD), everything is very choppy and slow. I have to go into Taskbar, Processes, and close firefox.exe manually (which is using up all the memory/CPU and should have closed before). Then, and only then, does everything behave normally. What is going on and what am I doing wrong or missing??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a couple months ago and happens every time I close Firefox.

'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?

'''[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]'''
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox SafeMode is a diagnostic mode that disables extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Choppiness and slow speed

Hi everyone.
I am a designer who just hired a Flash artist to create my
entire site in
Flash.
I am disappointed with the way the animation works: it is
slow and choppy and
embarrassingly amateurish looking. I'm not sure if this makes
a difference, but
the artist imported all of my layered Illustrator artwork and
used that
instead of creating the site right in Flash. He claims that
there is
absolutely no way to improve the speed or fluidity of the
motion. He tried
eliminating some frames, but that did nothing to improve it -
in fact it made
it look worse. He cited many symbols and layers as the
reason.
I don't know Flash from my ***, so I thought I'd get some
feedback from any of
you who do, and see if there actually IS hope to fix this up.
I know that I've
seen fluid, beautiful Flash work on sites before.
Thanks,
B.

Hi there. I"ve been away and just got your message now.
Thanks for your reply!
I think what I'll do is wait for the artist to finish the
site then send you the link. I don't feel right about showing it to
anyone while it still sits on the artist's server and is still in
progress.
Thanks again - I appreciate it!

Since my last GarageBand update I can no longer hear the different software amps and effects while I am playing , but they can be heard when I play back the recording

So I can no longer hear the sofware amp/effects while I'm playing my guitar , but I can hear the software amps/effects during playback after I have done a recording . What's up ? This has happened after my last GarageBand update . I'm using an Apogee Duet .
Bryan

I am monitoring through my KRK 8's. I have changed nothing other than the update . I used to be able to hear all of the amps/effects real time , but now it is only after the recording is done and I play it back that I can I hear the amp/effects that I selected for the recording .

Opening Settings While IPod is Playing Stops IPod

3GS - iOS4. If the IPod is playing and I open Settings, the IPod stops. Any way to fix this? I've tried double clicking the home key to start multi-tasking and that doesn't work either.

seriously does any phone do this, and do you really want a hal type voice going " Johnny Appleseed line one " or having the WOPR system (iPhone) say " Greetings Professor Falken, do you want to play a game? " when you turn your iPhone on...
too much for me

Hot and slow while only running two apps

Ive got a 3.0gGHz dual, 4GB, with 354GB of space left on the HDD. Most of what im doing on the computer is playing World of Warcraft, windowed, with safari open (a very popular thing for those unaware). These are the only two apps ill have open, and not only will the computer become incredibly hot, upwards of 95C, but when clicking between the two and attempting to load pages, it beachballs until clicking back into the game, when the page strangely and quickly loads. I have to have the fans blowing as a gusty 6200rpm with a 2000rpm cooling fan pad underneath just to get it down to 80C, but it still fluctuates. I took it into the genius bar in Atlanta while on vacation, and while they didnt have time to do an OS test (i had to get back on the road), they did a hardware test and found no problems. The genius wasn't much help and had no idea about it being slow or anything, just kind of addressed the heat issue, which what i thought might have been the root cause. After having a desktop computer with only a 2.8 single core and 4GB (windows) with no problems in terms of speed, im feeling that theres got to be something wonky going on. Ive repaired permissions but not done a disk repair. I dont want to reload the OS...because well i feel after switching from PC to Mac its a bit of a copout. Any suggestions? Possibly just some better cooling pads and cooling solutions?

And Safari is good to have open so you can look up various things while youre playing.
I see; thanks for explaining.
Anyways, i still dont think it should bog it down enough to beachball.
Not unless there's Flash or other streaming video content on the page being displayed, no. If there is any, it might very well beachball. Flash is a gigantic processor hog.

Visuallization schemes playing while ipod is playing music.

Ok, so most of the time while you are listening to music on the ipod, one is somewhere doing a task that should get done. But, wait what if you are sitting to wait for a train, don't really want to watch a video because you don't want to get too into so you don't miss the buss, so you end up looking at the ipod screen watching the title screen of the current song playing scroll endlessly. Is there any software,like the visualization that you could turn on the iTunes itself. If there is, well can someone point me to it or suggest it so apple could release this as a firmware update?
Thanks for your time Maria

"Is there any software,like the visualization that you could turn on the iTunes itself"
No, only in iTunes.
" so apple could release this as a firmware update?"
I think it unlikely, but you could always send Apple your suggestion.

Flash drives and SD/microsd heats up and slow while transferring files, is this normal?

My new macbook pro heats up my flash drives/sdhc/microsd while transferring files. I thought it was just the Micro sd itself (using MicroUSB adapter) but when plugging in a differnt flash drive it too was getting hot and quickly heating up. I also thought it is pretty slow for a Class 10, which i dont think it is the it could be the flash memory, is there something i am doing wrong? its using mac os x journaled format. This also happens when i plug it in the sdxc slot. Any ideas?

I had another apparently hung Time Machine backup today.
Starting Dashboard did NOT fix it this time. However, after what seemed like a long time (probably 5-10 minutes) it apparently freed up on its own and completed the backup normally. This makes it appear my previous result was just "coincidence".
There were a few error messages thrown into the Console this time by the "backupd" process -- An "Error(-43)" while apparently attempting to find a path to a file with a "null" name.
Despite that, the backup seems to have copied what it was supposed to copy.

Safari extremely choppy and slow after long use

Hello people. First of all my specs:
Earlly 2011 15" Macbook pro; 2.0 Ghz i7 Processor; 8GB RAM; 500GB HDD with 140GB free;
When I switch on my mac and use safari it works fine. Always enough free RAM. After about 5 hours of use safari starts to chop when i scroll. This happens mostly when i open a link in a new tab and it is still loading. In extreme cases i right click on a link and the pop up menu takes about 3 to 5 seconds to appear. I thought RAM was a problem but about 2GB was free so that wasnt it. This is always the situation, ram always available. I have used programs like iBosstUp to cleanup files in my mac. I have emptied recylcle bin. I have reset Safari. My mac is using the latest OS lion 10.7.3. I usually open upto 20 tabs at the same time thats why I got 8 GB. I am now thinking of going up to 16GB(no debate here: it is 100% possible i reserched). But I dont want to find this problem there again after the upgrade. Another issue, when I have loads of tabs opened, the tabs load fine but when i click on any one of them, the page is completely blank and reappears about a second or two after. Sometimes the tabs load when I click on them, yet they are supposed to load in the background. If free ram was very low then I was going to assume virtual memory was in use therefore the pages taking time to appear..
Please help. Thank you in advance

Hey LpoolEd,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, Safari has slow performance and there is an issue with automatic login. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
OS X Yosemite: Login Options pane of Users & Groups preferences
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

High Res-Videos run choppy and slow

Hi!
I don't know if that's normal, so i ask - yesterday i downloaded Big buck Bunny in a high resolution ( 1920x1080, i just wanted to see the difference )
But - as the title says - it runs very slow, actually the sound works fine but the movie is just 1-2 frames, then nothing.
Low resolutions work fine, all codecs are in place and my computer is a Athlon 3500+, 1 Gig ram and an GeForce 8600 - ok, not THAT fast, but it should manage it shouldn't it? I mean i could play Warcraft3 in this resolution with more fps.
I use vlc and kaffeine/xine for playback

thanks for the reply - i just realized (after i downloaded the video as a .avi) - it't ogg-video that runs so slow!
The same Movie in 1920x1080 and avi runs very smooth.

MB Pro is running 'choppy and slow.' It's especially evident when using Expose. How do I clean up/fix?

Pro suddenly started running a bit choppy yesterday. Seems to be running a little slow. Cleaned up cookies and history, plenty of HD space left. Any suggestions?

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. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. 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.)

Playback is choppy / slow while speeding up clip anything above 200%

Coming from using Final Cut Pro X for a while, ive just bought myself a new laptop.
Basic Specs are:
Intel i7 3840QM 2.8ghz with 3.8ghz turbo
32GB Ram 1600mhz
1TB SATA 7200rpm in Raid 0
2GB GeForce GTX680M
Long story short, ive been a long time PC fan my whole life although using the mac only for video editing and being a basic macbook pro 13" with final cut pro x seems to outperform my newly acquired PC laptop.
I bought this laptop with the intentions to move my video editing platform back to a PC state and with the new Premiere cs6.
everything is smooth and all that but the same issue i remembered about premiere back when i wanted to try it out in cs3 time. the playback for previewing video is slow and choppy.
i have to always "render" my video just to preview it smoothly which is very time consuming. I always thought because back in the day my laptop wasnt as good as my new one now so that was the issue and moved over to my mac which was great for video editing only.
but that mac has basic specs compared to my new laptop and still the preview is flawless and smooth with LIVE video previewing. i mean i can do speed duration changes of 10% slow down all the way to 1000% speed ups and watch my video that same instant after.
but with premiere if i do anything speed changes of more then 200% original frame time it plays fine for 2 seconds at that accelerated speed then gets choppy and slow.
I even changed the playback resolution to 1/4 quality and i get the same issue.
i wouldnt mind waiting for the render so i can see that smooth playback and determine whether i like it or not except when rendering my clips from my gopro which is recording at 60fps 1080 it takes over 15 minutes.
This has always seemed to be an issue with premiere for me and am wondering if there is something i am missing here..
anyone point me to the right direction?
im not hating on PC or adobe at all, i love these two platforms in every other way but when it comes to this editing all i hear is good things about them but when i go to use them for myself its extremely frustrating.
P.S. yes i have set my GPU to use the mercury GPU accelerated mode which did minimal difference with playback smoothness.

I was having this issue last night while going through a bunch of 1080p 60fps footage I took yesterday with my Hero3 Black. I wasn't doing any speeding up or down, just previewing footage to cut sections out. It would play back fine for 6 seconds, then get choppy which got worse the longer I let it play. It played fine for 6 seconds after each pause and play.
I used Cineform as mentioned to convert the files which are now huge but play back without trouble. A 13 minute 2.8GB file became 25GB.
Hopefully this issue gets fixed so I don't have to go through all that.

MacBook Pro scrolling choppy after disconnecting from Cinema Display

Hi, I keep my 2.5 GHz 4GB RAM MBP in clamshell mode most of the time, connected to a 30-inch Cinema Display. When I pick it up and open it, scrolling in every application is super choppy and slow, and won't correct unless I reboot the computer. This is aggravating. Anyone have a fix? Thanks in advance!

Sometimes I experience the same after disconnecting my 24" display (in seldom cases, the mouse cursor is not painted correctly, as well).
Can you check - when it happens - if in System Profiler > Hardware > Graphic > Quartz Extreme is listed as 'supported'. I found it to be 'not supported' when the scrolling and display behaves strangly. Also the Menu Bar is not transparent any more.
Next to rebooting, logout and login again fixed the issue for me. But I am also looking for a better fix/explanation.
