Video downloads from internet are so slow with Quicktime, any remedies?

Downloads are so slow with Quicktime. Quicktime diagnostics say nothing is wrong. I can put my other Inspiron next to each other and download and this one takes forever. This signal is strong and at the same rate as other Inspiron
Dell Inspiron Windows XP

I don't think your choppy videos have anything to do w/your computer. I have a G5 iMac and have no problems playing any video including YouTube. However, I am still using the "flawless" Tiger and you are using Leopard. I've seen your problem mentioned quite a few time on the QT board. You may wanna cross-post there also. Since you do not believe your ISP is the issue, make sure you have the following installed:
Flip4Mac
VLC Media Player
Perian (AVI and FLV support)
Adobe Flash Player Software (latest version)
Regarding FireFox. I've noticed a slowness since its last 2 updates. I've had to clear out the caches each day before use to make it faster which is a PITA! Suggest that you post on FF message boards. There are plenty of the same "slowness" complaints from Mac as well as PC users. So it's not just you. The slowness is affecting quite a few folks. The more folks that complain on FF message boards the better.

Program downloaded from internet are you sure you want to open

Hi Guys
I've got an issue i cant solve.
basically when opening programs i've downloaded from internet i.e .dmg files, and there installed in my applications, im getting the prompt that
" this program was downloaded from the internet, are you sure you want to open it? "
i can open and close the application and will still get the prompt, after reboots.
any suggestions
i've tried running cleanups with programs such as onyx as well but doesnt help
Cheers

If it keeps coming back after the first time for that app, then try repairing permissions using Disk Utlity.
It will report a lot of stuff that you can safely ignore. I'm not sure if it will fix the problem, but it might.
The Quarantine attribute is supposed to be stripped off when you OK it, but it appears it is not. It could be a problem with permissions that is preventing the attribute from being removed.

Videos played via internet are so slow and choppy, SLOW Firefox

Was wondering if anyone knew for sure the reason why videos/movie trailers played thru either Safari or Firefox are extremely slow and choppy on my G5 imac or G4 iBook laptop. Not sure if the outdated processors cant handle the flash embedded videos Youtube, Quicktime and other sites post, but it is really annoying not to be able to watch anything smoothly. Even if i let the entire video load (if it is a quicktime), then play it, it still is very choppy. The audio plays fine, but the video never keeps up. I have a 6mb DSL connection, so that cant be the problem. Any video I play via my iPod Touch (aside from flash videos it cant play) they are as smooth as can be (And that is via a wireless connection). Which makes me think it is a processor issue. Any thoughts?
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can remedy this situation? (aside from buying a new computer...)
PLUS, does anyone notice how slow Firefox is, or is it just me? Seems like even when i type in this form field, time lags as the letters show up. I have the latest version, and it is so slow. Switching tabs takes time... Reading and accessing RSS fields in the Feed Sidebar plug in is really slow...
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

QuickTime is designed to "drop" frames during playback when the machine can't keep up with the video data rate (audio continues normally). This may appear as a "stutter" during playback on an older machine.
It's not based on the Internet connection speed.
Apple movie trailers use the newer (2005) H.264 video codec and they demand a high CPU (Intel is best). You should get better performance on your G5 than on the G4.
Videos encoded using Flash will be equally difficult to view on older machines

Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

Try two things with Safari not running:
1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using". If it's checked, try unchecking it.
2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin. If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
Then see how things work.

Unable to download candy crush on iPad, all restrictions are off but blank page appears when directed to download from internet

Have updated software to latest version, ensured all restrictions are off, can only find guides and cheats in App Store but not the actual game. Have tried to download from internet but get redirected back to App Store where blank page appears and nothing comes up....

I also encountered this problem. I'm afraid I didn't meticulously document my work, but here are the step I took that might be relevant. I downgraded to IE9 and then down to IE8. I tried the
BypassSSLNoCacheCheck and BypassHTTPNoCacheCheck settings in the registry, which didn't work for me. I tried moving the location of the temporary internet files folder by modifying it directly in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ User Shell Folders
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Shell
This didn't work either. While I could see that I had the invisible content.ie5 folder in there, plus the randomly named folders, there was nothing cached in those folders. Cacls.exe showed
that the user had full control, and I could past files into those folders. This seemed to rule out a problem with permissions on the temp ie files folder.
The big clue for me was this thread when someone said that it worked for the administrator account, but not others. While logged in as the affected user, I tried deleting:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer (the entire folder, with all its subkeys)
and also: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings (again, the entire folder, along with all its subkeys).
I tried running IE again, and downloads work again! In the internet control panel, I now see a path listed for the temporary files folder (the path I specified), and the cache is set to 50MB
now instead of being stuck at 0. I haven't tried updating back to IE9 yet.
I suspect that changing the location of the temporary IE files folder was unessecary, and that all that I really needed to do was delete the two regkey folders. IE10 may be adding some setting
there that gets left after uninstalling it that causes IE9 and IE8 to choke. Hopefully this will save someone the trouble of rebuilding profiles.

I cannot download videos with flash video downloader from other websites also.Whenever I want to download video it says choose file.

I don't know that any Flash downloader extensions work in Firefox for Android. You would be best off asking for support from the extension authors at https://fvdmedia.userecho.com/list/21650-firefox-extensions/?category=4944

Could someone please tell me why this is happening.

Hi there mba,
Check out this thread, here a post from dansmith details the following steps:
"The issue is caused when Windows creates the printer profile in the control panel that it doesn't correctly create it with the drivers.
We're not going to completely uninstall all the HP software, instead we're going to remove the corrupt Windows printer profile and reinstall it. Total time for this on an average computer is about 5-10 minutes to completely repair (including reboot).
1) Navigate to Start Menu > Devices and Printers or Start Menu > Control Panel > Printers
2) Select each printer profile for the printer with an issue, then select remove device/printer.
3) Reboot
4) Navigate to Start Menu > All Programs > HP > insert model # here > Add Printer (or Setup Wizard)
5) Follow the setup prompts to reinstall the printer profile and it recreates the Windows printer.
6) Run the HP Update Tool from Start Menu > All Programs > HP if your printer installs it, rebooting afterwards if necessary.
7) Test by printing google.com (uses very little ink when the test page comes out)."
Try his steps out and let us know if it helps. '
Best of Luck!

Is it itues that doen't work for PC, or it's the same USB that can't work with both mac and PC?

I took a video with my iphone5 and I don't see it on my iPad. Can videos go from one device to another with iCloud?

I took a video with my iphone5 and I don't see it on my iPad. Can videos go from one device to another with iCloud?

No. Photo stream only streams photos, not videos. To transfer videos between your devices you can either import them to iTunes and sync them, or (more conveniently) use an app like PhotoSync or Bump.

Can the first generation iPad play an 720p HD video downloaded from the iTunes store?

Hello fellow Apple users!
I am just wondering if the iPad 1 could play a 720p video downloaded from the iTunes store.
I'd love to watch a movie in HD but I don't wanna waste money on something I can't consume.
Thanks a lot!

7.01 & videos downloaded from iTunes

I had to go back down from 7.04 to 7.01 in order to import footage to FCE. So, does that mean I can't watch videos purchased from iTunes? I tried watching videos - I can see the video but can't hear the sound. Is this a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't?

this is creepy - I have 7.04 on the G5, which is running 10.3.9 and I can hear the audio when I play video downloaded from iTunes but can't see anything. when I boot to the external hard drive, which is running 10.4.5, I don't get anything at all.

Burning video downloaded from ITunes

is there a way to change the format of downloaded 'Shows' (not music) from ITunes (ex: 'The Office') to be able to save them in, and burn them w/ IDVD instead of ITunes? I want to be able to play the video downloaded from 'ITunes' in a regular DVD player. As it stands now, you can only playback these episodes on your Mac or an IPod... Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Troel
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I don't believe there is a way of changing the Format. But there is an accessory
that you can get in the Apple Store(you can access that from the home page)
that will allow you to connect your iPod directly to your TV and play everything from it on your TV. RCA patch cords for sound and S-Video that will adapt from
your iPod to the TV.
