Slow Media Loading, Video iChat Fails, iTunes Choppy

Internet sites are reluctant to load and I usually have to click the refresh button 3-4 times before a given webpage will load (sometimes not even entirely: question marks in place of pictures).
Videos freeze up or just continually try to load but nothing ever happens.
iTunes is visually choppy when I open it and slow to load and sometimes my fan runs without anything really happening.
I've cleared my cache and that has had no effect. I've also checked my Activity Monitor and there are some minor red spikes with occasional medium sized ones. I don't see anything out of the ordinary running.
My music folder is 23 GB.
My disc space says:
51.72 GB Utilized
22.49 GB Space Free
Basically everything is tremendously slow and I'm wondering what it could be, and more importantly: What should I do?
Thanks

I don't have a solution for you, but maybe some suggestions for the causes.
If you're having problems loading a webpage, odds are it's the network and not your computer. Can other computers (friends, another you own, ipod) load web pages on that network without a hitch? If other computers can it's more likely a problem with how you setup the network than the computer being faulty.
iTunes: What else are you running while the visualizer is being choppy? I'd check activity monitor regularly when it gets slow and see what's using the most under the CPU column.
Is the video you're refering to that freezes up or is choppy streaming video from the web or video on your hard drive, or a DVD. If it's streaming video, see the first point i made. If its on your HD it could you have the wrong codecs installed or something of that nature. My QT is choppy with everything I play. WIthout really wanting to see what codecs I'm missing I've just downloaded VLC and run everything on that. No choppy anymore.
I don't know much else about how things work. And sorry if I'm giving you dumb answers but it's hard to tell how much knowledge people have, so maybe my little is more than theirs. Hope that helped.

Why Is iPad So Slow At Loading Video Library?

When I try to load the iTunes shared video library it just seems to be so slow. The when it does load everytime I slide the page up to look at other video its another wait to load process. Is the iPad not able to cache it? Is there a better way thru sort thru the movies like via Genres or at least a list version instead of loading the coverart for all?
I am just trying to see if there is anything I can do on my end to be able to via and sort the shared videos on itunes more proficiently.

Could be your connection. Video files are larger files and if your connection is slower it'll take longer for that video to buffer than at a faster connection

Why is my iPhone5 on 6.0.1 so slow on loading videos?

Please, is there any else out there still suffering from slow wifi?
My 3GS is beating the buffering and loading times of the same video that im testing.
Any one know a fix?
What the problem is?

I have the same problem but only on certain wifi access points. I have one airport express and one airport extreme wifi ap at home both having issues with iphone 5 however my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 streams videos quite well.
But at my office wifi, iphone 5 streams videos perfectly.
Did anyone tried video streaming over other wifi access points?

FIrefox is slow to load, videos, pictures and scrolling.

Firefox 3.6.3, videos anywhere on the net are slow and stop at seemingly random spots. Audio is heard but video is frozen, then suddenly catches up. Noticed on youtube mostly but on other sites as well. Pictures are slow and "jerky" to load. Even scrolling down a page the page stops, beach ball of death, and then jerky up to new position. Editing this post, just clicking to edit caused the beach ball and a delay before I could edit.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://youtube.com

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 255 to a more modest setting of 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

New Time Capsule, Fast internet but slow on loading video?

Just install TC in ethernet connection and used the Wifi for my laptop, The problem is the slower loading of video from youtube or even @ the apple site's to my mac and even to my portables!?
I didn't have this kind of problem even before installing the TC and tried reseting my safari thinking maybe it would make it load faster. Please help!

OK I tried to separate the 5ghz and 2.4ghz names by going into wireless/wireless options and selecting the first checkbox.....didnt work. I tried using my Belkin router as a wireless access point. My iMac will connect to the Belkin and the TC but iPhone still wont connect to neither the Belkin nor the TC. I tried turning off NAT .....didnt work. I have pretty much tried every setting in Airport Utility and my iphone will not get internet. Would reverting to an old firmware version be worth a try? Is this safe to try?

Safari 5 slow to load pages and fails to resolve addresses - flickering men

At first safari 5 worked great, a day after it began to take ages to resolve and address or worse to load a page. Now I stare at the loading item x of x for ages before a page will come up.
Also, open a couple of tabs and all menus start to flicker when you open them (file, edit, so on) as if a slow refresh effect and I have to close down safari.
Now I clock about 8 to 9 seconds (measured) to open a site that Chrome opens in 3..what gives?
Windows 7 64
Nvidia GTs 250 1gb onboard mem
2 tb hard drive (plenty free)
8gigs of fast ram

I cannot load videos purchased from iTunes onto my iPhone 4. Says video format is not supported.

I have most recent version OSX, iTunes and my iPhone 4 is up-to-date on software as well.
I just purchased, for my son, The Adventures of Chuck and Friends from the iTunes store. Downloaded the first season and it plays fine on computer. However I get a message that it was not copied onto the iPhone 4 because the video format is not supported by the iPhone. I have updated the software on the iPhone 4 and still get this message. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

is this something new then?
From the apple site:
Listen to audiobooks
You can listen to audiobooks purchased from the iTunes Store or the Audible website.
Audiobooks purchased from the iTunes Store can be played on up to five computers at a time. The computers must be authorized to play purchases from the iTunes Store. (You can’t play these files on a sixth computer until you deauthorize one of the already authorized computers.)
Audiobooks purchased from the Audible website can be downloaded to up to three computers at a time. The computers must be authorized to play purchases from Audible.
which is confusing because I am still having this problem, I can't find it on my laptop...

ITunes won't load video purchases from iTunes store to Video IPod

I'm getting some of the videos I purchased but not all of them, and there is certainly enough space on the iPod, I've gone through all off the steps even to creating a new user account and erasing the library, and poof still nothing, any suggestions?

Connect your iPod and allow iTunes to open (or open it manually). Highlight the iPod and select the tab for the video type - Music for music videos, Movies or *TV Shows.* Read all of the options carefully and determine which one applies to you.

Itunes Wont Load videos onto Ipod

hi, i currently have a 60GB ipod video, and now itunes is refusing to load any videos onto my ipod, i tried so many different programs to convert video, eg videora, PQ DVD, and Replay converter etc.
and i get the same error, it says video was not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod.
is there a way to load videos without using Itunes? or can i force itunes to load the videos?
any help would be appreciated...
thanx ^_^

"All my songs are listed on the IPOD but are faded where they are in regular font in my library"
Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists".
Try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. This will give you a fresh installation and allow you to start over: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

Can no longer move wmp video files to iTunes since updated ver. 7.0.2

I always was able to transfer Windows Media Player Files to the iTunes library by going onto iTunes and clicking 'file - Add file to library' then choose the video file i wanted on iTunes. Then I would convert the video i placed on iTunes onto my iPod. However, it seems that ever since I downloaded iTunes version 7.0.2, i can no longer transfer windows media player video files onto iTunes for some reason, therefore making it impossible to convert to iPod. Please respond with some solutions, thanks.

Also close all apps in the multi-task window and try again.
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen.

Youtube app loads videos very slow On my ipad mini

Youtube app loads videos very slow On my ipad mini . I can let it buffer for 10 seconds, it plays and then stops because it has to buffer again and convert the video in very poor quality. i have 20mb internet connection. my sofware version is iOS 6.1.3

Check your internet upload speed. You probably have a very slow speed.

ITunes is so slow to load

Well, as the title suggests, iTunes takes an age to load up. I used Jriver media player before this and that loaded in less than one second. iTunes currenly can take 30 seconds to a minute to load, which is unacceptable.
Win 7 64 bit
16gb ram
Intel i7 3.4 ghz
Running iTunes off an SSD.
I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling but still the same lame slow performance and even when its running it feels sluggish. Come on Apple, this programme is the heart of iPhone, iPad and iPod.

Any word on this? Is it slow like this for everyone?
I have the latest version of iTunes, running on the latest version of OSX, running on a 2011 iMac.
Yet iTunes still runs extreamly slow to load, even after it loads compleatly, it is slow when bowsing.

I'm trying to load video file into CS6 I keep getting error message: 'Could not complete you request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.' No Idea what to do next. Help please.

I'm using CS6 Extended. My OS is "Windows 7 home premium.
Can no longer load video files into CS6 for edited I keep getting error message:
'Could not complete your request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.'
Don't know what this means. Until just now I was able to load videos without any problems. Now I'm getting this message. Any thoughts?

Hi Mylenium,
upfront:
I hope I won't be marked as spam now, since I am posting on a few relevant discussions now to this topic.
However, I really would like to ask the people who have experienced this problem to see if they were able to solve it.
Now the real deal:
I posted a question in this discussionDynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.
The linked discussion is a lot younger, which is why I posted there first.
I also put in information on the steps that I have tried and my computer specifications.
I am experiencing this problem for a while now and hope you and jones1351may be able to help out.

IChat video/audio fails to work

iChat video/audio fails to work 90% of the time. The error message says the other party failed to respond, or some other, similar, bogus "communication error" message.
Invitation to video or audio chat fails 100% of the time with certain buddies of mine, and anywhere from 50% to 90% of the time with others, regardless of whether they invite me or I invite them. Changing ISPs, Macs, locations, or static/dynamic IP settings has made no difference.
This problem surfaced with Tiger in the summer of 2007, and progressively became worse, especially since Leopard, to the point where iChat video/audio fails 100% of the time, unless the other user happens to be in the same [home] network.
All of a sudden the problem went away since the upgrade to 10.5.6, and I was able to again use iChat video to communicate with friends I have not been able to "see" in a year and a half! However, the problem started again today, with the same bogus "communication error" message every time a video connection attempt is made.
Screen Sharing also fails to work, 100% of the time, regardless of how it is invoked, through iChat or not, unless, again, it is attempted between 2 macs in the same home network.
In the meantime, Skype video works fine all the time.

Hi,
Thomson-Alcatel by default do what is called Binding of SIP to port 5060
This means ANY SIP data is forced to that port. iChat 4 no longer uses this port for SIP. It caused problems in iChat 2 and 3 which could be resolved when the firmware was Version 4 or earlier.
How do I know ?
Personal Experience from a Speedtouch 510v4 (running version 4.2.5 firmware)
Hence the web page I linked you to.
Built up from comments on the iChat 3 forum and the iChat 2 forum since 2004
Search Results for iChat 3 (it will only go back to about Nov 14th 2005 when the software Apple Uses to run the forums changed - some active threads did cross over this date so occasional ones are older)
Smaller results from iChat 2
The work by iBoise in this forum and the ADSLGuide's Apple Forum
Known issues for the BT HOME HUB in Britain as it is a Thomson-Alcatel inside.
Because the fix on Page 4a in the orignal link I gave, worked until Version 5 firmware came out.
As I clearly said the results can be intermittent.
With non Speedtouches it tends to be a 10:10:30 split out of 50 Buddies
10 you can get all the time.
10 now and then Buddies and
30 Never successful.
The Original Version 4 Telnet command would make this 100% successful to non Speedtouch devices
In Version 5 it becomes about 15:10:25 which only marginally better.
Later versions of the firmware do not even seem to reach these figures.
Speedtouch to Speedtouch connections are better but still not 100%
I would guess you live some where where Speedtouch's are popular and have many Speedtouch to Speedtouch connections that fair slightly better than average.
Last time I had contact with iBoise on this the Firmware was at version 7 and he was in the process of evaluating it for any changes.
There has been no announcement. In this case I don't think No News is Good News.
I hope this helps.
