Streaming video now slow

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

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

Streaming Video jumpy/slow

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?

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!

Why do streaming videos play slow and 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:

Is anyone with an iPhone 6plus experiencing slow downloads and problems streaming videos online?

is anyone with an iPhone 6+ experiencing slow download and slow video streaming online? I have had the iPhone 6 Plus and I've been experiencing my app is downloading a lot slower and being unable to stream videos online

I hope someone from Apple is monitoring this site. Three days apps will not update, iOS8.0. Support told me to update to iOS8.02. Can't do that over WIFI or Cell network. Supports tells me have to link to iTUNES and do this. That takes three trys. Did that. Apps still not updating. Read online that resetting network settings will help. Did that App's hanging and not updating.
Apple how does this happen. Night before iOS8.0 release you pull things because of some security issue. Then you have iOS8.01 fiasco and now this. Can someone get this right. We use these things for more than just phones now. FIX IT
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8

Streaming video over WiFi very slow

Hi, I started to dealing this unpleasant issue since I guess I updated to last firmware on my Apple TV. Now when I want to stream video from my MacBook or iPad over wifi, the picture is not fluent at all. It is cut (not sure about this word). When I connect my MacBook through ethernet cable, it works just fine. Apple TV is connected by cable to my network.
Anyway I was able to stream practically any movie in any quality and it worked. No I cannot stream nothing at all! :/
Does somebody experience the same issue?

If you have an Apple Store nearby, book an appointment with the Genius Bar and get them to check it over.
If you don't have an Apple Store nearby, take it back to the retailer and explain what's happening and see what they have to say.
Or, you could call Apple Tech Support give them the details of the problem and see if they can suggest a fix.
Before doing any of the above, you might want to try restoring the iPad to default settings and then set it up again (back up your iPad prior to this to preserve apps and date etc) to see if this rectifies the issue.
Hope you get it sorted

Slow, jerky streaming video on G4 iMac

I am running Leopard 10.5.3 with no problems on a 1GHz G4 iMac with 1 gig of RAM. However, streaming video is virtually unwatchable: it is always slow and jerky. My internet connection is a steady 6.5 mbps down.
Any suggestions on how I can make streaming video watchable?
Thanks. . .

Streaming video from over the internet isn't going to tax your video card.
It's going to be either the broadband connection, the wireless, or the CPU struggling with an advanced video codec like H264.
The MDD starts to struggle at about 1500kbps video/audio in H264 decompression. If you have any other processes running (like Spotlight Indexing in OSX 10.4 and 10.5 - which is a real killer just after a fresh install) then you're even more severely limited, perhaps 1300kbps.
Sustained AirPort 'b' (for MDD) tops out at about 4000kbps with a perfect signal. The advertised 11Mbps is theoretical and something close may only be possible in a burst mode. Even if your wireless strength is perfect, there may be interference that will cut throughput in half, then half again.
Don't know your broadband connection, but ISPs here in the UK use "traffic shaping", cutting back on our 8Mbps throughput to little more than 2Mbps, sometime less during busy periods (evenings, weekends, if you live in a primarily residential area).
If any of these areas force your throughput to drop below the rate at which the TV show in encoded, you get jumpy video and/or audio.

I have updated to iOS 8 and 8.0.2 and now can't watch, download or stream videos in certain apps; google chrome, BT Sport for example.

I have carried out all the updates and now can't watch or stream videos in a few apps, anyone else having dramas with iOS 8? WHAT GIVES APPLE???

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

Itunes 9 – Backup doesn't function, Video playback is now slow, Requires a

TOPIC: iTunes 9 – Backup doesn't function, Video playback is now slow, Requires a reboot to find the super drive when changing CDs or DVDs.
iTunes 9 has been difficult to say the least. We have a very large Video and TV library, backups are critical. When starting a backup to disc, we put in the blank DVD and the software reports that it will take XX (39 in this case) discs. After the first DVD ejects and the second blank is inserted, iTunes hangs.
Second: Watching programs on hulu.com the video drops frames and a very jerky playback experience sometimes including audio. iTunes 9 now works the same way, gone are the smooth video and audio. An authorized computer in our house can no longer play back any movies or TV that are located on the MacMini.
Third and most disturbing: Since the iTunes 9 upgrade, when listening to a CD on the Apple and it completes, if you want to listen to another one – it requires a Restart of the computer. It no longer knows that there is a super drive attached to the computer. After the restart, it works just fine for one use, CD or DVD and then you must restart to listen or watch another one. Using the super drive for data or programs works correctly and no problems experienced.
I want to be clear - none of these problems were happening before the forced upgrade to iTunes 9. After reading several posts, I don't want to sync my iPod Classic (80GB) for fear of what it will do to it.
The above is happening on a MacMini, G4 PPC, 1GB RAM, 80GB internal, 2 Terabyte external, OS-X 10.4 fully patched for operating system and applications.
We need to know when the 9.1 bug fix will be released? As long as it took to convert our library to 9.0, we don't want to try and back convert to version 8.x. In our case that would take feeding 221 backup DVDs and repurchase of several 9.0 only, episodes.
WE need the bug fix and fast!

I am running iTunes9 on WinXP, and I also cannot get it to back up. It either hangs on the "initializing" phase, or it thinks that my blank disks aren't blank and keeps spitting them out.
Also, I've brought this up before, by why MUST we back up to DVD? Why can't we backup to a folder location (such as network share or external HD)? DVD backup is slow, problematic, and wasteful. Especially if it fails, and you need to throw out the disks it's already burned, and will not resume where it left off before the failure.
For a company that's usually known for its design and "it just works" philosophy, how can you keep making such a broken, buggy product? Here's a thought, before cramming more crap into iTunes, let's just get it working as advertised for once? That would be nice.

When ever i try to view a streaming video from a website I now get two of the same stacked on each other in same panel where one video should be view, what is wrong?

When ever I am trying to view streaming video from websites, such as CNN or ESPN or You Tube, I now see the same video stacked twice in the panel where it used to only show by itself. I think it happened after the last updates to Firefox and Flash Player, but not sure what was changed to create that effect?
== URL of affected sites ==
http://

First of all, Firefox support SUCKS! I am looking onto Opera or Chrome.
Here is my solution. I have WinXP 64 bit with a Nvidia card. I had the same issue and all I had to do is update the video drivers and it fixed the problem. Try this out.

Choppy/Slow streamed videos on both Firefox and Chrome

I have a 2010 Macbook Pro that was recently turned off for two weeks while I was on vacation. When I turned it back on and tried to watch videos online (youtube, Netflix, streamed videos) the videos are choppy and slow to load. This was never a problem before turning of the computer for the two weeks. I have tried both Google Chrome and Firefox and the problem happens on both. When viewing the Activity Monitor while attempting to watch the videos the CPU usage is fine for the first 20 seconds or so and then Chrome or Firefox take on 80-90-over 100% of the CPU usage, a majority of the usage is from the system (in red) and the videos become untwatchable. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both browsers and have disbaled all the extensions. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Silverlight for Netflix and have uninstalled all unused versions of Adobe Flash player. There are no problems with video when I watch a DVD. Help! I want to watch videos again

having same problem since mac os x 10.6 upgrade, but was never issue prior... have tried everything i can think of, new flash players, reinstalling players, reboots of computer and router... to no avail. since this was never an issue for me prior to upgrading to Mac OS X (10.6.8), i believe its the os software.

Streaming videos from iPhone 4s via AirPlay is very slow

. I took a few videos with my iPhone 4S when I was on vacation. When I try to stream them from my iPhone to my Apple TV, it buffers extremely slowly. However, when I stream videos from my MacBook Pro to my Apple TV, it buffers very quickly and plays very quickly. Based on that, I'm assuming that there's nothing wrong with my wireless network. So my question is, what could be wrong with my iPhone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ok so I've been doing more testing. It's all videos on the iTunes store. Anytime I try to download a podcast or stream it or anything it's super slow. To download an episode of Diggnation it tells me over 2 hours to download but the time keeps climbing and I just stop the transfer.
Some people said it's an Open DNS thing? Maybe it is but it's not computer specific and I couldn't find a way to change the DNS settings in my Airport, only on each computer. I tried deleting PLists and restoring my Apple TV and restoring my Airport and nothing is working.
I don't know if it an issue with me, my ISP or Apple. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Slow streaming video on G4 MDD

Please forgive me in advance, if this topic has been covered. I've been searching the forums, but haven't found an answer ... yet - still looking.
I love my G4 MDD, she's been a good pal, and has done everything I've asked. But, for the life of me, I can't understand why, while watching streaming videos on Safari, the feeds are all choppy. (For example, catching up on LOST on abc. com, can be a frustrating experience.) I know the old girl is getting long in the tooth, but she's still a powerhouse computer. What (without buying a whole new machine) can I do? Is it a RAM problem? Video card? Hard drive? A Safari problem? I'm stumped.
This is what I've got :Power PC G4 MDD, Dual 1GHz, 1.25 GB DDR SDRAM. I've got a strong Airport signal.
Any ideas would be appreciated. In this economy, I gotta work with what I've already got.
Thanks,
Ralph W.
