Video hanging on macbook pro

JUST got my MBP back from Appy Service yesterday.  They replaced the logic board, and the monitor due to the fact that the screen just went black one day while I was typing along.
Now I'm trying to watch videos on YouTube, I keep up with Motocross this way, and they freeze and won't resume.  I can sometimes get the computer to play more video if I manually drag the slider to a different part of the video, but then it just hangs again.  I've tried different videos of different lengths, all seem to freeze at some point during playback no matter how long the video, who posted them, or when.  I also tried connection via Wifi, and hard connecting directly to my cable modem, but neither way solves the issue.
Ive got "Video Switching" turned to the performance setting (shorter batt life) but that doesn't help either.  All software is current as of an hour ago.
How can I tell if it's my lame ISP or if there's something that got passed over in the repair?  Is there anything I can do to trouble shoot before I take my MBP back in to Apple?
Thanks
Bruce

Make sure that Flash is up to date.  Not sure if Apple reinstalled Lion or not, or if Flash is updated, but that may be one cause. 
Or it could be your lame ISP.  At home, I can watch Hulu in full HD with no delay.  At a hotel or any place else, I'm lucky to get 240 and anything close to smooth.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 10.4.11 usb related hangs on macbook pro w/alum keyboard

    Ever since upgrading to 10.4.11 & a new aluminum keyboard (+ mighty mouse) my system is VERY unreliable hanging almost daily or repeatedly... It is very troubling & surprising - these are the only two changes... Wake from sleep has had issues as well such as hanging my macbook pro 2.0 & my 30" display not waking even if the macbook has. Sometimes when rebooting I must use the macbook keyboard & then unplug & replug the external usb keyboard w/mightymouse to get it to work - my old plastic keyboard does not seem to exhibit this issue although I can't be certain...
    I've zapped the pram, repaired permissions, run disk first aid & tech tool deluxe without issue...
    Thoughts appreciated! Thx!

    Definitive there will never be, because each person's configuration is slightly different, and contributing factors could cause the demise of an update. The only way to eliminate uncertainty is to backup your data*:

    That way, if something does go wrong, you can restore your backup.

  • 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

  • Can I play HD video on my macbook pro?, Can I play HD video on my macbook pro?

    Hi
    I am curious about why I am unable to play HD videos on my Macbook Pro? If i am using an HDMI cable to an HD TV, then I can't play any HD videos?
    Please help (my computer knowledge is limited).
    Curious learner

    The short answer is you should be able to, but tell us what happens when you try and we'll try to help.
    Can you play the video on your Mac's screen (not connected to the TV)?
    When you connect to the TV with HDMI, do you see a desktop appear? (Before you start the movie.)
    What kind of movie are you playing, and from where?

  • I cannot play videos on my macbook pro laptop.

    since my last update (a week ago), I cannot play videos on my macbook pro laptop. I can play youtube vids if I go to the website but I cannot play videos from CNN or any other website where before I could. Any reason?

    Me either, since I installed a new operating system on my mac book pro - I followed a suggestion of deleting all Flash Player files through system preferences, closing Safari while I install a new version of Flash, but I got an error message saying 'unable to complete installation' - problem remains. Any help, peeps?

    Not aware of a 12-inch Intel MBP. Anyway, could you possibly have an old version of flash player on your computer too. Look in the In the Internet Plug-ins folder to be sure you have only one flash player plugin. Path is HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
    Also try searching your hard disk for flash.
    Some other things to try are in this thread.
