Video Freezing on New Macbook Pro

I bought a 15" macbook pro last week, and videos are freezing regularly. Sometimes the audio continues and the video catches up after 30 seconds, sometimes not. These are online or itunes or homemade videos that my 4-year old macbook used to handle just fine. I got the larger pro because I'm away from home a lot and wanted a wider screen to watch video on. Anyone having similar problems or know ways to help alleviate this problem?

I'd be wondering whether something that you have brought across from the older machine may be giving it indigestion, mpeterd.
You might find it worth taking a look at Activity Monitor when the problem occurs to see if any process is hogging CPU time.
One known "issue" after migration from earlier Macs or OS versions can involve a new process called "fontworker" under Snow Leopard. If you have brought across old fonts from the MB then it may be that some are duplicates of Snow Leopard fonts, or corrupted, or simply too old for the new OS. Might be worth checking with Font Book for duplicated or corrupted fonts. Another possibility may be a corupted "Spotlight" index. If Activity Monitor shows a process called "mds" or "mdsworker" running overtime, then this is likely to be the cause.
There are various other possibilities here, too, though. Activity Monitor is a good place to check for such things first, before considering seeking replacement. You may well find that the problem recurs even with a new, perfectly healthy, computer when you bring things across from the old one.

    I used same adopters when I migrated my 2013 Mac Pro from my 2009 Mac Mini.
    Did the 2012 Mac Mini have the same OSX version as you are using on the Mac Pro?
    It could be incompatible with the Mac Pro. I ask because I have n iSight camera (FR400) that worked with my 2009 Mini with before Mavericks but would not work with Maverick. It would also not work with my 2102 Mac MIn but the camera but not mix work on my 2103 Mac Pro

  • Why does Netflix freeze my new Macbook Pro?

    About a week after getting my new macbook pro I was watching Netflix and the episode froze in one spot and I kept hearing a faultering sound. I couldn't open the Task Manager equivalent and couldn't escape so I had to force shut off my computer. Now once or twice a day while watching Netflix it does this and I have no idea how to fix it. I've tried reinstalling Silverlight but nothing works. HELP!

  • InDesign CS4 install (new & upgrade) still freezes on new MacBook Pro.

    Have a stupid question:
    WHY HAS ADOBE NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE.....RATHER THAH CONTINUING TO ASK THE CUSTOMERS TO FIX IT?
    The company's customer base is boiling over with customers who've paid for and received a NONWORKING product.  A defective product. Period.  If this were a prescription drug or a car, the govt would have ordered recalls by now.
    Adobe's labrynthine, convoluted recommended "fixes"  (delete and reinstall all your Adobe products....reinstall your system software .... go stand in the rain and burn incense to the gods .... whatever) is like Ford Motor telling the customer:  "Yes, we admit that make and model has a major defect.  But, hey, at least we feel bad about it. Try taking the car apart and rebuilding it. See if that works.)
    Eeegads.
    For the record:  Only SOME of the people with the Install/Setup issue (installer freezes at about 90% while checking system profiler) have inadequate hardware. Most have adequate hardware.  So spare us this "the customer is stooopid" defense.  We're not stupid. We're angry.
    I've read the bulletin boards. So has Adobe.  We all know Adobe produced a seriously flawed installer; they know it, too.  They know it because zillions of us of us  HAVE SPENT HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH ADOBE STAFF, WHO  CONFIRM THAT (A) OUR HARDWARE IS MORE THAN ADEQUATE AND (B) THEY HAVEN'T A CLUE TO DO.  Other tearing the computer apart and rebuilding it, I mean.
    This is one of the largest software makers in the world.  They have enough programmers and engineers working in their corporate coffee shop to fix this thing.  (1)  produce a NEW installer that is not affected by whatever it is that is affecting the current one. (Am I genius or what?)
    (2) distribute a two-part installer that first scans and fixes the obstacle -- and THEN installs the Adobe product.
    (3) Hire a third-party vendor to figure this out for Adobe.
    Adobe failure/refusal to do this -- more than eight months after being made  aware of the problem -- is not one of this company's finer moments.

    First. I sense you're on the verge of a full blown rant. Keep in mind that this is a user to user forum so please stay calm. Ranting at us won't help you. For that please contact Adobe directly.
    While there are certainly people having issues, measuring those issues in a support forum is like going to a body shop and declaring that all cars crash into something.
    Most users don't have any issue at all but there are certainly too many to call it acceptable. That said, the first thing to do is run the CS4 clean script:

  • Why can't i play you tube videos on my new macbook pro?

    i've downloaded adobe flash player for mac on safari, but i'm still unable to play videos on you tube,  can somebody help please?

    The Flash plug-in failure on Lion, is a Safari issue that can be fixed with these steps:
    My Flash Player plug-in would not play videos on YouTube (using Safari in Lion). It turned out that my Safari settings needed to be reset after the recent Lion 10.7.4 and Flash upgrades.  I called Apple tech...
    This is what we did to fix it:
    1. Open Safari.
    2. Go to top left menu, under "Safari" click on "Reset Safari."
    3. UNCHECK the first two boxes, leave the next three checked, plus UNCHECK the next two, and keep the last three checked.
    4. Hit "Reset"
    5. After the reset finishes, Safari will relaunch and you can test Flash by going to YouTube to see that videos will now play.
    Thanks Apple Care!

  • Occasional Hangs/Freezes on new Macbook Pro 15 2.5 GHz

    I got this incredible MBP for my birthday a few months back and recently it hangs randomly when logging off, restarting or shutting down. I have to hold down the power button and power cycle it.
    I have the latest version of Leopard 10.5.3 and all updates installed. I even went to the extent to reloading Leopard and still continue to have this problem about every 3-4 days.
    Anyone have suggestions to what this may be? Is it hardware or software? Any feedback or resolutions would be greatly appreciated.
    BB

    Insert you Leopard installer disk and reboot while holding down the 'c' key. Select your language and from the Utilities menu select Disk Utility. Select your hard drive and run Repair Disk.

  • Videos are choppy on new Macbook Pro 13''

    Hello everyone,
    I just got a new Macbook Pro. I've downloaded the most recent versions of Quicktime and Flash but whenever I try to view a video, it takes a while to start playing and then once it does start it freezes about every 20 seconds. I've tried everything to fix this, but have had no luck so far. The problem is not my wifi because I am able to play videos perfectly on my desktop and my iPod. I have not been able to find any solutions online either. Any suggestions? Should I upgrade to Mavericks and see if that fixes anything? Has anyone solved this issue?

  • New macbook pro freezes intermittently, need to hold power to shut down

    i just got a new macbook pro in june. i have 8 GB ram, a 1 TB hard drive.
    it constantly freezes and i cant do anything except shut down my computer by holding the power button
    last time it happened i had just finished downloading mountain lion, i was watching a youtube video, and the mountain lion installer seemed to try to boot up. here is the panic report or whatever.
    can anyone confirm whether this is fixable on my end or should i just take it in to apple?? i am assuming they will cover it since it has nothing to do with me and i just bought the computer.

  • 128 MB video ram on a macbook pro - enough to drive the new 30"?

    128 MB video ram on a macbook pro - enough to drive the new 30"?
    meaning, can it do this well???

    Even 16 MB VRAM would be enough to display a 2D picture on the 30".
    Depending on 3D usage you need much VRAM.
    Unless you are using a lot of the latest 3D games or Apples 3D pro apps (Motion/Shake or something like that) 128 MB should be fine.

  • I have the G Drive 1 TB (GEN4 1TB) external drive purchased in 2010. I need to connect to my new MacBook Pro. I'm using the external drive for media storage of my video editing projects. Will a 800fw to thunderbolt adapter cable work?

    I have the G Drive 1 TB (GEN4 1TB) external drive purchased in 2010. I need to connect to my new MacBook Pro. I'm using the external drive for media storage of my video editing projects. Will a 800fw to thunderbolt adapter cable work? I understand that using a USB port connection is not fast enough for video editing. I read somewhere the G Drives don't connect well to MacBook Pro.
    thanks

    I doubt this can be relocated or moved so you might want to just repost in the macbook pro area.

    Can you afford a new Thunderbolt case and cable? any case with FW800 is going to be slow 72MB/sec and less, and any new 1TB drive is capable of 75MB/s minimum up to 125MB/sec.
    Thunderbolt storage can of course when setup properly reach 100's of MB higher using multiple drives.
    Use what you have for a system backup or for secondary backup storage.
    you might be able to take the drive - most cases allow you to open and swap drives - and use this:

  • HT3775 What codec do I need to play video that is called .avi.  It will not play on my new Macbook Pro.

    What codec do I need to add to play a video that is called .avi
    It will not play on my new Macbook Pro since I put it into the movies section of my launchpad.  When it was on the desktop It worked fine.  I moved it back to the desktop and it still does not work.
    The error message says  The document "   .avi" could not be opened.
    A required codec is not available.

    Download VLC Media Player which plays anything you throw at it and  Perian (AVI and FLV support). 

  • I have a new macbook pro and just made a video on imovie and it asked me to put it on idvd but there is no idvd listed as an option. How can I get idvd?

    I have a new macbook pro and just made a video on imovie and it asked me to put it on idvd but there is no idvd listed as an option. How can i get idvd. it doesn't seem available

    Since Apple has stopped supporting and offering iDVD you'll need to purchase the iLIfe 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11 which will include iDVD 7.

  • I have a Canon Vixia HV30 and would like to know if I can transfer video from it to a new MacBook Pro? The camcorder has a HDV/DV output. Is that compatible with firewire?
