Streaming video is slow with Yosemite. Why?
Since upgrading to Yosemite, my streaming video is slow and choppy. What can I do to correct this?
My appologies, dont know what I was thinking, this should have said:
in the navigator, click on the slide with the video file
Inspector > Animate > add an effect
in the start transition dropdown select; Automatically
set Delay to equal the duration of the video clip
File > Export to > QickTime

My Macbook Air is running slow with Yosemite.
My Macbook Air is running slow with Yosemite.
I checked out most of the blogs and everything and have removed widgets from the notification center, but everything seems to run kinda slowly.
Sure, i have the base model 2014 macbook air but that 4 gb ram should run a freakin finder just fine. I had Mavericks installed before, and with that, i could do everything. I even made cool music in GarageBand and nothing was lagging for me. Now i installed Yosemite... Everything is lagging. Scrolling seems like it happens around 10 FPS. That aint good man. Memory cleaner says around 1gb ram free when only the finder is running in the background (before it did around 2). I just uninstalled Memory Cleaner o I'm not looking at that little amount of memory. I don't know what to do now? I would appreciate it, if someone would help me. Otherwise, ill just wait for a new update.Since it's new I would take it back for repair or exchange under your warranty before bothering to read further.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

My iMac G5 is unable to smoothly stream video from any website such as Hulu or most YouTube videos. What can I do to address this problem?
Pedro Vincenty wrote:
I had the same problem with my PB G4 1.5mgz and mac mini G4 1.3mgz. *I resolved it by downloading the latest flash player from adobe. After installing went to youtube and opened any video and pressed pause(don't do this while video is playing). click the "ctrl" key while presssing track pad in the middle of the video window. The settings for flasplayer will pop up, select the video settings and select "enable hardware acceleration" and press close. Now RESTART YOUR COMPUTER not just safari,* You will see the difference just allow the video to load for a few seconds before video starts.
Great tip!

Hello,
I have a a MBPr, and since I got it in Feb, everything was going fine. I have High speed internet and my streaming videos from sites like sharesix, put locker etc would load lightening fast. Last 2 weeks, theyre SUPER slow, something that would load in 5-10 mins now takes 5-10 mines to load just 1 minute of the video.
Its universal, on safari, firefox, and chrome, initially I was just using firefox and thought that was the issue so I cleaned out my history/cache/cookies etc. It didn't help.
Any suggestions?Power off the router. Wait a while. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode

MS Word - very slow with Yosemite
Microsoft Word, I have found, is very, VERY slow on Yosemite. Saving takes AGES.
Hi - I am running Office for Mac 2008 v12.3.6 and find it is very slow to save documents. This is both a manually triggered ave or the autosaves that occur form time to time. I have ForeverSave2 v2.1.2 running but enabling this or not seems to make no difference. When a save occurs the progress bar shows the progress as fully complete but continues for about 15-30 seconds depending on the size of the document.

Unabled to stream video from iPad with AirPlay
I'm having some difficulties getting video to stream from an iPad to my 2nd generation AppleTV over AirPlay. The iPad is able to stream audio just fine, but does not stream video through the built-in Video app.
When selecting to play the video to the Apple TV, the iPad screen stops playing the video and changes to the Gray screen that says the video is playing to the AppleTV, however it is not playing to the TV.
Both devices are running the most up-to-date software revisions. I have tried plugging the AppleTV into the router via ethernet cable to ensure that it's not a wireless problem, but this does not change anything. The only possible reason I am able to think of is that the wireless network these devices are using are not connected to the Internet.
If anyone else has suggestions, please let me know.
ThanksI'm running iTunes on my iMac, using an Airport Extreme, and two Airport Express's..one configured as a repeater, and the other as a remote speaker. I'm using an ATV1 running 24/7 as an audio server, broadcasting music to the Airport Express. I have an ATV2 in my bedroom connected to the big screen there. That's the one that does not forward video from my iPhone 3GS to the ATV2, ONLY audio? Is it possible, that the system can't support the ATV1 running AirTunes w/remote speakers, AND AirPlay on an ATV2 simultaneously??
BTW, I found that the song title that popped up in the title box happened to be the tune that my iTunes on the iMac happened to be sitting on (wasn't playing though). It put that in the same box on the screen as the Movie title I was playing from the iPhone 3GS over AirPlay? Sure that's not a bug? -
Why do streaming videos play slow and choppy
why do videos play choppy
Hi,
This problem may not be connected to Flash Player but can be related to device driver performance, internet bandwidth issue also.
Since you haven't mentioned your OS and browser, I am proving you two generic links that contains solutions to all types of Flash Player issues that you can try:

Why is my mail program so slow with Yosemite
I am running 10.10.1 on my G5 (2010). Mail program is not running as before I upgraded. Everything in my mail is slow: typing, incoming, outgoing... Any ideas?
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last failed boot. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful. -
2009 macbook running very slow with Yosemite?
After installing Yosemite there was a big change in performance for all actions on my computer. Start up, basic actions around the desktop and all applications are going considerably slower - slower than they ever have with my computer. I've changed a few of the settings, and that has helped, but it's still ridiculously slow. I haven't downloaded any MacCleaner app or anything. Can anyone help me with this?
Here's the results I got from EtreCheck:

Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Can't Video / Audio Chat with PCs - Why?
Have been iChat video chatting with other Macs for over a year. Upgraded OS to Tiger. Still great connections - easy, intuitive. Tried to chat with a Dell owner using a Logitech A/V device. Able to send invite in both directions (to and from PC user), able to accept the invite in both direction, but when the connection is processing an error message occurs. The Connect Doctor provides this explanation:
There is insufficient bandwidth to maintain the conference.
The QuickTime Preference for Connection Speed is configured as 0 Kbps, which is too slow for a conference. If this setting is incorrect, you can change it by going to the QuickTime System Preference and choosing the “Connection” tab.
Ummm, what?Hi
Set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps
In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to NONE( if a comcast user use 500).
Restart iChat.

Diagnostics Information: ℹ️
Feb 4, 2015, 03:02:55 PM Self test - passedIf you choose to use garbage such as "Intego VirusBarrier" you are going to need more memory, a lot more. I suggest you uninstall it according to its instructions, and evaluate your Mac's performance without burdening it with completely useless junk. As long as Intego remains active, your Mac will have few resources remaining to do anything else.
Using Intego's "Virus Barrier" and "Net Barrier" products on a brand new Mac containing nothing but one minimally configured user account resulted in performance degradation so severe that it became nearly unusable. No knowledgeable Mac user would consider using it even remotely tolerable.
Intego should only be uninstalled using the uninstaller included with it. Don't use anything else. A successful uninstallation will result in the following:
After that, restart your Mac. Other Intego components will remain but they will be inert and will not affect your Mac's operation. -
Macbook Pro Slow With Yosemite

Media Encoder slower with Yosemite
Hi Everyone
I am currently running a new Mac Pro. Under Mavericks it has been an excellent machine with Adobe CC, recently though I have gone to Yosemite. Adobe Media Encoder is certainly a bit slower. I know this as an 8min long training video project I have edited in Premiere which has a fair bit going on in the sequence, took 5:58 to export in Media Encoder when I ran Mavericks. I could replicate this result on more than 1 Mac Pro of the same specs, same Mavericks etc by just moving the thunderbolt hard drive the project is on. In Yosemite, the same sequence, same Premiere file now takes 6:20. For longer exports, that is a 5.5% time increase in time I'd rather not have, is there anything I can do to speed up Encoder under Yosemite? It seems that with a few recent upgrades to Encoder the program has slowed down a bit when using the OpenCL rendering. Turning off preview makes no difference.
On a different note, I have noted the project sometimes takes a little longer/shorter to export. All things being equal, is it normal to export sometimes the same export to take a few seconds longer or shorter just randomly? Eg sometimes 6:15 or 6:25?
Thank you all in advance.Uninstalling Media Encoder CS6 shouldn't cause any problem to any CC apps, including Media Encoder CC.
There is no stand-alone uninstaller for Media Encoder CS6. In order to uninstall it, you need to uninstall all CS6 apps on which Media Encoder CS6 is depending. Those CS6 apps includes, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Flash, Prelude, SpeedGrade, and InDesign. Media Encoder CS6 is installed as a part of those apps. If you have any of those CS6 apps, please uninstall all of them. This also uninstalls Media Encoder CS6. -
Safari loading slow with yosemite
Even after this latest update, Safari is loading incredibly slow since the OS X Yosemite upgrade. Any suggestions as to how to get pages to load faster? Sometimes they won't even load completely.
Tried clearing the cache, resetting network, switching between ethernet and wifi - still 10-20 sec delays on certain web pages - mostly places I hadn't visited in a while. Same pages loading on Firefox appeared instantly (I tried loading Safari first then Firefox first, each on a "new" page, trying to eliminate a DNS problem). I then wondered if the new “synchronized history” feature that uploads to iCloud could be the culprit.
Everything Apple is busy on Christmas. So I tried this:
Open System Preferences
Select iCloud
un-Check Safari
I assume this eliminates communication with iCloud every time you navigate to a new page. Delays are now pretty much gone - seems much faster, even when I navigate to a site that I knew isn’t in the cache (a site I hadn’t visited since clearing). Hoping that will fix the problem for now.
