Slow YouTube on my MacBook Pro...

Whenever I use YouTube on my macbook pro, it constantly pauses to buffer an/or load; why doesn't it play smoothly once the page has loaded? I recently updated my laptop also.

Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player Software and if you have a prior version, it must be uninstalled by using the Flash Player Uninstaller.

Care to share which OS system & version you are using and what you updated?
BYW:  I hope you are not using your MBP as a "laptop" because it's really a notebook and should not be used on your lap.

    Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.

    Hi, I had been having the same problem for over a week, but both my window's HP and my 2011 macbook pro barely could load youtube.  What kind of router you have?  I was using a belkin play router that was only 8 months old, switched to a new AirPort Extreme Base Station and now everything works perfect.

  • Sudden slow-down of my MacBook Pro

    I have experienced a recent significant slowdown on my MacBook Pro.  Since it occurred soon after I finally got around to loading Yosemite, I was concerned that the new OS was a bit too much for the 5yr old laptop.  I found an older (long!) thread that recommended etrecheck and post the results in a new discussion.  I know there are some things I need to clean up too.
    Problem description:
    Sudden and significant unexplained slow-down of my MacBook Pro.  I get a lot of spinning pinwheels just opening and closing applications.

  • My lightroom 5 has slowed considerably on my macbook pro

    please help. My lightroom 5 has suddenly slowed considerably on my macbook pro. It can take ages to carry out out a simple task like spot removal, and when you run the activity monitor it will show that lightroom has stopped responding,

    How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?

    There are two apps that I know of - and I would also swear that they come from the same developer, although they've different names. Both have free trials and both cost $40 (but both do 'other' video conversion as well).
    One is WonderShare - I bought this one and it works very well for downloading YouTube videos as well as converting just about any file format you can think of.
    The other is iSkysoft Video Converter (just noticed that it's now $36).
    I tried them both and finally decided on WonderShare. Give them both a trial run and decide if you like either one enough to buy it. I don't know of any 'free' software that will allow you to download and convert YouTube videos, but perhaps someone else will come along and know of something...
    Good luck,

  • Lion runs very slow on a fast MacBook Pro, why?

    I have Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, I used to have Snow Leopard and it was VERY fast. I bought Lion about 3 months after its release date. I like it but, all the aplications run REALLY slow! On Snow Leopard, my computer would boot up within 30 seconds but after I got Lion it at least takes a minute to boot up. I also keep seeing the beachball every now and then, and when I look at my ram usage, it's normal. Safari takes for ever to launch, but after its on I have no problem at all. Another wierd thing is that when I am on youtube, Safari itself uses 1.5gb of ram. I don't know if this has anything to do with Lion but when I was a Snow Leopard user my battery health would stay between 95% and 100% but since I have Lion, it "jumps' around. I goes to any random number between 80 and 100. An hour ago it 90% and right now its 82%, tomorrow it will be something like 85%. I've not changed the way I charge and use my battery. Does Lion use more battery?

    Oh, and I forgot to add the specs. I have 4gb of Memory/Ram. The processor is a 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. It's a 13" MacBook Pro.

  • Wi-Fi Slow for Mid-2010 MacBook Pro in Clamshell Mode

    'd like to add my experience the posts which I have see regarding slow speeds in clamshell. I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 13 and when I first attempted to use it with an external monitor, keyboard and mouse - I too experienced significant slowing of the wi-fi speed. About 3 months ago, we swapped our existing router (non-Apple) for an Airport Extreme. That seems to have somehow cured the problem. While this does not address the issue with a 2008 product, I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has similar experience and/or if this potentially corrects the problem for other current model (or earlier model) Unibody owners. I hope that this isn't something that might evaporate with a software update someday in the future.

    Reset your NVRAM and test to see if that resolves your issues. Typically that will resolve video, volume, startup disk selection, and kernel panic issues.

  • My MacBook Pro is slower than my older Macbook Pro. What's the problem and how do I fix it?

    So I have 2 MacBook Pro's, one fast and one slow. I can't seem to figure out why my older mac is faster compared to my more newer one. The same apps run much slower on my new mac.
    Here are the specs for both computers:
    MacBook Pro                                                  MacBook Pro
    Size: 17"                                                         Size: 13"
    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo                 Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    RAM: 4 GB                                                     RAM: 4 GB
    HD: 160 GB                                                     HD: 500 GB
    Year: Mid 2007                                                Year: Mid 2012
    As you can see, my older mac should be a bit slower han the newer one. I have all he same apps on each one. The only problem I saw was the newer one had more inactive RAM han the older one. The newer one has been like this for a while, so I reinstalled the OS and the same problem was still occuring.

    Increase the RAM on your New MBP...
    You can use these Links to check which RAM is suitable for your Mac...
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/
    If in the UK... Go to http://curcial.com
    It is Important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
    Those sites also have videos on how to Install RAM should you need it....
