Video freeze between macbook to macbook pro

My friend has a macbook and I have a macbook pro. Most of the time when we chat, both of our videos freeze. For me, her picture freezes but mine keeps going, and for her, both her picture and my picture freeze. The audio is fine, and when she selects go offline, we can continue to audio chat. The only way we know of solving the problem is her restarting the computer, when I restart, it still doesn't work. It also doesn't work when she closes ichat and opens it back up again. Any help would be great. She has a 1.83 dual with 512 mb of ram, while I have 2.16 dual and 2 gigs of ram. thanks

Hi
On both ends, have you done this?
iChat>Preferences>Video>Bandwidth limit: None
System Preferences>Quicktime>Streaming>Streaming speed: 1.5Mbps T1/Intranet/LAN (Don't use Automatic or Intranet/LAN)
Restart iChat

Video freezes on macbook pro

The video play is freezing-playing-freezing

the memorex dvds did the trick.
You are one lucky person. Memorex and TDK have bad track records here... Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden DVD-R have superior records. I've never had a failure using Verbatim DVD-R.
Here's something I haven't posted lately, so some of the info may be dated.
My reliable DVD-Rs have been: Apple 4X (Maxell ID), RiTek 4X; Verbatim 1-8X, RiData 8X, and PioData 8X, all white inkjet printable. The RiData and PioData checked out to be RiTek-made.
Verbatim is reliable and can be found in many stores in the USA. They even make a special grade for medical records.
You can buy the RiTek, RiData, and PioData at:

Verbatim may be available in your neighborhood Office Depot and Best Buy stores, or:
http://www.taperesources.com/
http://www.newegg.com/
Apple brand can be purchased from the Apple online store.
You can check the manufacturer's ID by using DVD Media Inspector: http://homepage.mac.com/raktajino/dvdmediainspector/dvdmediainspector.html
Here's some discussion about formats: http://www.macintouch.com/dvdproblems5.html#oct03 Be sure to read Joel Lingenfelter's experience
Here's a great site: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
You could wade through this: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia
From that database: Five brands and who actually manufactures the DVDs:
TDK = TDK, RITEKG04, RICOHJPN, MXL, CMC, MCC
Memorex = CMC, RICOHJPN, PRODISC, INFODISC
Imation = CMC, MCC, Ritek, Prodisc
Sony = MCC 01RG20, Sony04D1, TYG01
Fuji = FUJIFILM02..4X, FUJIFILM03..8X, ProdiscF01..8x, ProdiscS03..4x, PVC001001..2x, RITEKG03..1x, TAIYOYUDEN..2x, TYG01..4x, TYG02..8x
This can result in "mixed" experiences...
My friend used TDK on his Mac and it wouldn't play in his 5 year old Sony DVD player. All of mine play OK in his "antique" Sony. Update: He finally gave up on that antique and bought a Sony DVPNS775V which also plays double-layer DVD+R.

Slow video refresh on Macbook Pro Retina 13"

I installed 10.9 and was doing fine, apart from the known GMail issue (now solved). But it has been two days now that my Mac has slowed down on video refresh:
(I use a second Apple Cinema Display 24" through Display Port, but it happens even if I unplug the second display)
* when I change screen or call mission control, I can notice a drastic performance drop in the video transitions and the menubar flashes vigorously.
* when fullscreen (for example in Safari) my menubar drops down very slowly and sluggishly.
I reinstalled 10.9 from the recovery partition... but it had no effect. Anyone experiencing this issue?
I haven't installed anything in the last two days. I might have updated the Flash plug-in, but I am pretty sure I did it a few days ago.

Just checked the following solution. Works for me.

You would be incorrect on that.
Commercial music videos are not to be downloaded, nor is there any difference between that and illegal torrent downloading of copyrighted material.
Such actions pertaining to commercial copyrighted videos / music videos (lots on youtube) is not legal.
Any distribution of videos, music or text without the express permission of the copyright-holder is copyright infringement
regardless of all of that, Google/Youtube clearly notes that its against their policy to allow same from their site on such materials (not all, but most of it there).
most such videos are not free and "open public domain" materials

HT201335 I want to watch an iTunes rental video on my MacBook Pro but stream the sound to my Airport Express linked speakers. However re Airplay icon doesn't show up in iTunes when playing the rental video. Is there a way around that?

I want to watch an iTunes rental video on my MacBook Pro but AirPlay the audio to my AirPort Express linked speakers. However the AirPlay icon isn't available when arching the rental video in iTunes. Is there another way? Do I need to but an AppleTV? I don't own a TV, hence why I want to watch on my MacBook Pro.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
With or without an Apple TV you can't send video to one device and audio to another using AirPlay.

(Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
Let me know if you know why this is happening.

With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
Something you can try:
System Preferences -> Network
Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
Select *Set Service Order...*
Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

Sorry, I don't quite understand your question. Amongst other things that's exactly what the Apple TV does, is streaming video from a computer.

How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

What model MacBook Pro do you have? On my late 2011, I used to use a Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter to get video and audio from my Mac to my television. I used this adapter from Monoprice. Worked great - I just no longer use it because I bought a 27" monitor.
You can also use AirPlay mirroring if you've the right MBP and an Apple TV - but the wired method works, too.

Importing video on a MacBook Pro

Well, this is my first attempt to import video to my MacBook Pro and it's not going well. First off, no firewire port. Oops. Now what? iDVD says that no camera is attached. Of course it probably wouldn't recognize it going into the USB port, but now what do I do?
I have a 1TB external drive that takes firewire. Any way I can daisychain the two and import directly to the external drive?

So sorry. Trying to import into iMovieHD

Many thanks.

Your posted info shows you are using Mac OS X (10.5.8). With this Mac OS, you can use iMovie, Photo Booth, or optional QuickTime 7 Pro to record and save a QuickTime video. (Be sure to save in a YouTube Supported file format.)
Then follow the YouTube Help instructions for How to upload your saved videos.

Whats's the difference between MacBook Pro 13 and 13.3 ?

This, Whats's the difference between MacBook Pro 13 and 13.3 ?

Firstly, you are not in MacBook Pro forum, so you need to get your bearings.
2nd check the specs page
http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro
Then Bing/Google for reviews, Ars is always good but dozens have done one.
2011 brings Intel Sandy Bridge processor boards, Thunderbolt, SATA3 (6G) along with options for SSD and much more RAM (can save buying RAM and doing the upgrade yourself)

Set up home sharing between macbook pro and desktop pc. tried to sync music in library but ipod is not syncing the library. why not?

I set up homesharing between macbook pro and desktop pc. I have attempted to sync songs on my mac and pc, but the ipod will not sync the full library. why not?

Hey harold WD!
You will want to consolidate your entire library onto one computer using Home Sharing in order to sync all of these items onto your iPod. Use the following article to help you accomplish this:
