Video and internet slow

My G5 Quad (8 gigs ram, plenty of open hard drive space, Sonnet SATA card, two Geforce 6600) has an odd thing going on. When I open any streaming video source, it starts quickly and then within a minute or two the video freezes up while the audio continues. Happens in both Safari and Firefox. I have my DSL provider coming out today, again. In Activity Monitor, the browser starts fast, 98% or so, and then drops steadily down towards 20%. Is this my internet connection or a conflict in my tower? I regularly empty the cache, cookies, etc. Since it is occurring with both browsers, I am stumped.
Also, in Activity Monitor while displaying Network, data received at 650kb(!) while I am paying for a deluxe high speed DSL. Of course the ISP is claiming their service is operating at full speed.
Any and all suggestions welcome!

Go to Network>Show>Network Port Configurations, and make sure the Interface you use for Internet is dragged to the top of the list.
Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for the Interface you're using...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply. These are safer/faster than most ISP's DNS numbers, and have been patched against DNS poisoning.

DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.251.200.70 behind the scenes.

Video and Internet Connection

So I bought this brand new Macbook Pro only two months ago, and already I'm experiencing issues with the video and Internet Connection. When I try to watch video, it plays for a few minutes, then completely stops, though it is buffered and loaded completely. It never starts replaying unless i refresh it, but then it happens again and again. Then for the internet connection, when im opening websites and everything, suddenly the it says "Sorry you are not connected to the internet" then after a few moments, it works, but this is very annoying. Websites also load very slowly. Is there anything I can do?

How many lines do you have on your wifi "fan" up at the top right of your computer and how far are you from the router? sometimes things like that happen when I sit a little too far from our wifi hub. If I show a good set of bars I have good internet flow etc. if just a single bar or barely, it gets dodgy.

Both IE and FF flash videos and games slow down/lag???

Starting a half a year to a year ago, flash videos/video players and flash games on firefox and IE would run
fine for a little while and then lag/slow down ridiculously. For the videos it would lag and skip for the rest of the video, but for the flash games it goes through a cycle of running fine and then running slow/very slow for a period of time. How can I fix this? It is so annoying and can make playing flash games and watching videos with flash almost impossible some times.
I unchecked the the box for hardware acceleration already.

Do you have any suggestions in terms of the slowing down/lagging issue? Also, is there an issue with flash player itself that is causing everyone to have all these problems with it ruining videos and stuff? Is adobe working on it/is there any hope that future version of flash player will get rid of the lag or has adobe gone down a path that is just going to cause problems for some people, permenantly, no matter what?

Incompatibility between Lightroom 4 .mp4 videos and Internet Explorer 9?

I have been unable to get any Lightroom-produced .mp4 videos (slideshow module) to work as native video in Internet Explorer 9 (using the HTML5 video tag). Re-exporting them through Premiere appears to solve the problem.
Has anyone else run into this? They worked fine on my development system (Windows 7 64 bit with a bunch of codecs installed), but I received complaints from someone and testing at Adobe Browser Lab demonstrated the same symptom (ie the Lightroom videos didn't load and the Premiere rendered version did.
Annoying. :-(

Hi,
The process of clearing IE 9 Crashing issues is very simple.
Run IE 9 without any plug-in, add-ons or other extension.
That is, if the software is yet to be installed.
If it has already been installed then disable the add-ons.
It is important to check what are the add ons that cause the crashing if that is the case; this can be done by clicking on ‘Start’, then on ‘All programs’, then on ‘Accessories’, then on ‘System tools’.
Click on Internet explorer again and again click on the ‘Tools’ option.
Follow this by clicking on ‘Manage add-ons’.
There will be an option under show: all add ons.
Open the option and click on any add on and press the ‘CTRL + A’ on the keyboard.
That should help select all the add ons; once that is done simply disable all the add ons and click ‘Close’.
Finally close Internet Explorer and open it again.
At this stage if it continues to open and work correctly then the add-on enabled manually will work properly and will stay! The constant problems of the browser crashing can be avoided.

Playback of video and music slow after unit has been in standby

I recently purchased a 64GB playbook and loaded a few movies in AVI and MP4 format as well as afew albums in MP3 format, When playing the files all works fine until the device is put into standby and then restarted, the video and music playback is running at around a quarter of the speed ond is choppy, even the HD demo plays back at the reduced rate, when the device is switched off and restarted then everything is back to normal until the unit goes into standby again, I have a 16GB device abd this one plays the same files with no problems.
Does anyone have any idea of what the problem could be
Thanks

any apps running next to the video player ?
go to the options of the playbook, then About, then Hardware in the dropdown menu. How much "Free memory" do you have while the video is lagging?
The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

Video and Internet Explorer.

I created a website and the videos are working just fine on both safari and firefox, but in internet explorer, the sound plays but the video doesn't show. It is just a white box. Any ideas on how to fix it? It is happening on multiple PCs. The site is www.lobanoba.com
thanks!

Try using the following code in an HTML snippet. It should let a PC without Quicktime play the movie as it calls up a QT plugin to use:
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="320"
HEIGHT="256" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="URL TO MOVIE FILE ON YOUR SERVER">
<PARAM name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="false">
<PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="true">
<EMBED SRC="URL TO MOVIE FILE ON YOUR SERVE" WIDTH="XXX" HEIGHT="XXX" AUTOPLAY="false"
CONTROLLER="true"
LOOP="true"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
I don't have a PC so maybe you can check out this exmaple and tell me if you can view the movie on a PC without Quicktime installed: Embedding a QT Movie for Computers Without Quicktime Installed.

Unbelievable, i've got blue tint all around my screen, the airport seems to have slow down, and i've got the processors running at most of the time at 2.0GHz.
I don't mind to have the processor at 2.0, but the blue tint and the airport, it's really annoying. Is there any way out to this mess????? Please!!!

My apps, videos and internet are on mute when played straight from my iphone 4S. The sound is on when I play them through auxiliary cable. Does anyone know how can I turn on the sound so it plays without the aux cable?

Online video and slow internet

In my Lumia 520 online video is not playing and internet is slow

Remember that if online video requires Flash it's not going to play as Flash is not supported and in general has been discontinued for mobile platforms quite some time ago.
On internet what do you mean it's slow? What kind of connection are you getting? What letter do you see next to the signal (E, G, H or H+)?
Where are you and on which carrier?

Flash player plays online video and games extremely slow

I had my pc reformatted two days ago but prior to that I never had problems like this. playing streaming videos and games gives me extreme pain! especially watching videos on youtube, the video loads fast but it plays like in slow motion and almost frame by frame, so I waited for the video to load completely but when I played it, it's still the same it was annoyingly slow and the play buttonl sometimes is not responding! I install and reinstall the latest version of flash but nothing happened I used IE8 and Mozilla Firefox 3 but both have problems.... but when playing games and videos saved on my hard disk all is very much fine, it plays fast and no fuzz. I also noticed that sites that uses flash also have lags and plays animations slow... I need help badly! Im using windows xp, pentium 4, 2.80 ghz, 512ram and nvidia geForce 7300 SE / 7200 GS internet connection is 100.0mbps dsl connection, I still have 30gb free space on c: so I wonder why is it like that! Please help!

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.

Firefox will no longer play videos and keeps telling me to download the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer which I have done 5 times but still get the same message when I try to play videos. I can play videos on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome .

Recently when I try to play a video on Firefox I get the same message that I need to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. At least 5 times I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X and Adobe Flash Player Plugin 64 bit. Problem is that even though I have the latest version I still get the same message when I try to watch videos on Firefox. The frustrating thing is I can watch videos on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome as well as on Safari. How does that make sense?
Today, I upgraded to Firefox 10.0.2 (x86eng-us) hoping that would enable me to watch video on Firefox but it made no difference either. I would rather use Firefox as my default browser but if I can't get help so I can view video on it I will be forced to use another browser.

Hi arpriltime,
Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.
Hopefully this helps!

All embedded videos in internet articles and on Youtube play sound but no picture

My problem only started about 2 weeks ago . Before that I could directly play any video that was on Youtube or any video embedded in an internet download.
Now the video plays, in the sense that I have sound and the elapsed-time bar moves along the bottom of the screen, but there is no video picture, just a full green screen. This applies to any video on Youtube or embedded in an internet download.
I can still play any video that I have previously downloaded to my PC, be it Flash Video file or MP4 file.
The players installed on my PC are the latest versions of Windows Media Player, VLC Media Player, Media Player Classic and Adobe Flash Player.
The problem started at about the same time there was a major upgrade to my Avast free antivirus program (to version 8.0.1482) but this is probably a red herring, as I find it hard to believe that could have anything to do with the problem.
I have also tried on Internet Explorer and the problem is just the same, so it is not Firefox specific.
Can anyone offer a solution?
Regards,
Barry

Thanks cor-el,
I disabled protected mode in Flash, as per the instructions in the link you provided, but it made no apparent difference.
I can't find how to disable the hardware acceleration in the flash plugin. Can you help me there?
I did disable the Shockwave Flash plugin as a trial and immediately the videos appeared again in imbedded videos in internet downloads. Why disabling Shockwave Flash allowed these pictures to appear I don't know.
It is not practical, however, to leave Shockwave Flash disabled because many of the embedded videos use Flash so I can't view them.
Regards,
Barry

WVC54GCA camera can't see video on Internet Explorer but can on Chrome and Safari

I installed the camera, and I can see the video on Chrome and Safari, but not on Internet explorer Version 8. I can see the screen where the video would go, including the headings, but there's just a red "x" in the upper left hand corner.

To View your Camera on your Computer using IE, you need to Enable ActiveX Control on your Computer for your IE... Open IE on your Computer and Click on Tools and Internet Options.... Then click on the Security tab and select "Internet" and below you need to click on "Custom Level" and under that you will Find "ActiveX " and you need to Enable all the Features of ActiveX and click on Ok...
Once Done now you can try to access your camera setup page and when you click on View Video, it will prompt you to Install Linksyscam.cab File, you need to install that File .. Once done you will be able to View your Camera..

Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so

Dear Adobe.
Yesterday I installed the latest version of Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so I can uninstall the latest version only. Thank you. Stephen Kress. Melbourne. Australia

When you run the uninstaller, it will uninstall all Flash Player versions.
If you want to revert to an older version after that, get it from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
