Video only clear for one minute

When trying to ichat with my mom when can go 30 seconds with pretty good quality the it turns bad. We are both running leopard 10.5.4, I have a macbook pro, she has a macbook. I am using an airport extreme, she has an express. I have tried the quicktime to 1.5 and ichat to 500. What else can I try. Skype works, but I hate using it when ichat is so much easier to use. We both have comcast cable, Im in cali she is in Illinois.
Thanks.

Try 200 where the 500 is currently set.

    When am watching live news on air play it only shows for one minute 30 seconds ,, I need some help?

    First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
    "First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
    On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
    "Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
    Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
    I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
    Thanks,

    Aperture 3 shuts down every time I try to use it after only using it for one minute. Aperture closes then a pop up screen asks if I want to reopen Aperture. If somrone at Aperture didn't keep pushing a stop button for it to close,Apple wouldn't need to ask the stupid question"Do you want to reopen Aperture?" to begin with. Anyone out there having the same annoying problem?? I like Aperture or used to anyway,but if this nonsense continues, I will be forced to buy some other editor besides "No hanging fruit - Adobe photoshop CS5" or "I don't like you so I'm shutting down - Aperture".

    Hello,
    sorry to hear about your troubles, but we will need to have more technical information about your problem to be able to help you:
    There may be several reasons that can cause Aperture to crash on start up:
    You may have imported an image (or video) in an encoding that Aperture does not support, or that is larger than 2 GB, or that is corrupted and Aperture cannot process it
    Your Aperture Library or Preferences may have been corrupted
    Or you are having a system wide problem with your machine.
    Or you may simple be running out of disk space.
    It would help, if you could post the crash log from your last crash. Also, more details on your Aperture Library: Is it managed or references? how large is it? Is it on your system drive or on an external drive?
    What have you done, shortly before the trouble started? Have you imported new images or videos? Did you install any plug-ins or any new software, lile Final Cut?
    Try, if you can get Aperture to launch, if you defer the generation of Previews: Hold down the SHIFT-key immediately after you start Aperture to prevent preview generation for that session. If a damaged image in your library is preventing normal opening, this may allow you to start Aperture. If this succeeds, try to identify the broken image or video among the images you recently imported and remove it from the library.
    Regards

    now i have leopard...i love it but my applications just KEEP quitting out and my iChat only works for 4 minutes and then my friends stop recieving my messages
    should i uninstall and re install?? how would i go about doing that??
    anything just please help

    One possibility is that your hard drive is failing. If you don't have backups of any data you don't want to lose, that needs to be your number one priority. Get that data backed up. Once you have done that, you can start exploring options.
    Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive and take a look at the SMART status:
    If it says anything other than Verified, the drive is definitely failing. If it says Verified, all that means is that it isn't failing in a way that the drive can detect.

  • Flash only works for one user

    Using IE7. I have three users on my computer. All
    have Administrator level access. Flash only works for one of them.
    When attempting to play a video on YouTube for example it says "You
    either have JavaScrip turned off or an old version of Adobe Flash
    Player."
    JS is turned on and the current version of Flash Player is
    installed.
    So does anyone know what is going on here?
    Thanks

    I was able to fix my problem of Flash only working on user
    account. I did the following two steps to correct the problem:
    1. First uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX
    control by following the instructions stated in
    tn_14157.
    2. Second Download SubInACL from Microsoft to fix permission
    issues that prevent the Flash Player installation by following the
    instructions stated in
    fb1634cb.
    Following the above two steps, fixed my problem of only
    having Flash run on only one user account. Now it runs on all four
    user accounts.
    As a side note: The Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control
    would not run in user accounts with Limited access. But when I set
    the permission of the user account to administrative, then Flash
    would work.
    Regards,

  • ITunes has stopped working message after having it open for one minute.

    It's fully updated to iOS 5 and was working fine until now. Running on Windows 7 and worked flawlessly till this point. Any tips? I already uninstalled and reinstalled. Only security software I run is Microdoft Security Essesntials and that has never been an issue. At a loss here.

    iTunes has stopped working message after having it open for one minute.
    I open itunes and a message comes up after a minute "itunes has stopped working". I got the update automatically to my Windows 7 64 bit pc 10.5.0.142.  After reading tons of probelms online about version 10.5
    I have decided to do nothing for now.  Seems people are putting hours into trying to fix it.  I was going to uninstall and reinstall but seems that isn;t working for to many people.
    How do we get some help from apple? 
    Anyone have any answers???  APPLE HELP please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times.
    Please help to set it up, thanks in advance

    You need to give more info..
    Firstly only works for what.. networking.. backup.. wireless. You need more nouns.. more adjectives... describe what you want and what fails.. then we can figure out why.
    Most likely you have bridged it when it should be in router mode..
    Most likely you are using Lion or ML which has the airport utility bridge the TC by default.
    Change it to working as a router. That might help.
    If you press reset button it will default back to router btw.
    If you are on Lion.. use a real utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1547

  • Slideshow in "photos" only lasts for few minutes and spontanoeous shift to homepage.

    slideshow in "photos" only lasts for few minutes and spontanoeous shift to homepage.

    Don't worry. If something was up, OnyX would have given you proper warnings and recommendations. On your next render, can you set the render logging to Extra per Frame Info? Also, if you don't mind, untwirl the render info and see, which parts it is processing. Either the life info reveals long file read and write times or the render log may reveal odd variations in teh per-frame render times. A common problem for instance with multi-processing are the first few frames being rendered very fast, but then a longer gap occuring inbetween because the program chokes on writing too many files at once. Similar patterns sometimes appear with network setups or - ultimately relevant for you - with RAIDs that use large cache drives. In the latter case often reducing or turning off the harddrive's internal cahe using the vendor's configuration tool can improve things...

  • Pre-ordered an entire album, but was only refunded for one song

    on 7/24/14 I pre-ordered TRXYE by Troye Sivan. I got an email saying that something happened and I was getting a refund. I was only refunded for one song. I got a refund for Happy Little Pill, but not the rest of the album. I payed $4.95 for the entire album, and only got $1.29 back. Either I need the entire album free, or the rest of the refund.

    How many tracks had been released from the album ? When you pre-order an album (and similarly for any other item) you are not charged for it, you are only charged for the album (or individual tracks) when they are released and you download them - so if only the one track had been released then you will only have been charged for that track, in which case what you have been refunded is correct.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • I have downloaded The Final by Wham (Deluxe edition) and most of the Videos only Play for about 2 minutes then freeze

    Hi all
    I am new to iphone and have just bought Wham The Final (deluxe edition) which includes all there videos.
    When i go to play the videos they play for about 2 minutes then they just freeze. Club tropicana does not even play at all.
    I have other video purchases which all play fine.
    Is there anywhere in itunes where you can re-download?
    Thanks in advance

    It's probably the new 'taste filter' trying to keep you from emberrasing yourself in public. Try playing them when you're alone. If it detects no one else is in the room, it may allow you to view them. 
    Seriously... Do they play in iTunes on your computer? If they're in your iTunes library, un-sync them from the phone, then sync them back.

  • IMovie imports only for one minute

    When I was using iMovie 6.x I was able to transfer signal from my VCR or TV through an analog to digital converter (Formac DV) and burn a functional DVD. Since upgrading to iMovie 7.1 I cannot not.
    I get a signal that iMovie imports but importing stops after 1 minute and I get a message telling me importing has stopped and that "the tape has been rewound". There is only a one minute recording. I can import movies (either .mov or Quicktime movies from my harddrive.) In addition, during this one minute import I do not see the signal being recorded. If I record from iSight everything works as it should; I can record as long as I wish and I can monitor the signal throughout the recording.
    I called Apple and after three calls I got bumped to a higher level and I was lead through an archive an install of 10.5, upgrade to 10.5.2, and re installation, of iLife 08. However, in order to get back to the higher level I must leave a message and get a return call within 2 days. Apple had suggested as the next step to clone and reformat my drive which I would do but I think I'd like to know what the problem is. This is a new problem as iMovie 6.x did not have a problem with importing.
    I am going to test the incoming signal by hooking up a digital camera to determine if the signal from the Formac is somehow the problem. I am not sure since the signal from iSight is recognized by iMovie as are the .mov and Quicktime movies from my harddrive. They are however, internal signals.
    Any thoughts?
    Martin

    I get a signal that iMovie imports but importing stops after 1 minute and I get a message telling me importing has stopped and that "the tape has been rewound".
    Sounds like you are trying to use the auto mode here in which the application is trying to use a master-slave protocol. Try switching to manual and make sure your tape player is running. If already in manual and it thinks it has an active protocol, then I would try an alternate capture work flow such as iMovie '06 or Vidi (free) to save the files to your desired destination hard drive and then simply "drop import" or use the "file move" option to bring them into iMovie '08. If either or both of these work, then I would assume the problem in in the application mistakenly trying to exert control over a "dumb" device.

  • Youtube videos only play for two seconds before displaying an error message since updating to FF28.

    Since updating to Firefox 28, videos on Youtube will display a spinning wheel for some time, only play one or two seconds of the video, and then go to a Youtube ‘an error has occurred’ screen. At this point, Flash will crash, hanging Firefox for a minute or so. This occurs whether I am using the HTML5 player or the default player. The same videos worked fine previously in Firefox 27, and still work fine over the same wifi connection on Chrome for Android. A similar issue had occurred under Firefox 27, but only if the video was embedded in another site. Vimeo and Facebook Video still work fine: the problem seems to be specific to Youtube. Everything else on the Youtube site itself works; it's only videos that are malfunctioning.
    I am running the latest Firefox and Flash updates on Windows 7 64-bit, with Tree Style Tab, Download Statusbar, Adblock Plus, Foxyscrobbler, NetUsageItem, and Pocket. The issue still occurs with all add-ons disabled in safemode, and with just Adblock disabled (my first thought was that perhaps Google had changed ad delivery in a way that caused ABP to break videos, but this doesn't appear to be so).
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what's gone wrong? :)

    Sorry, I forgot to mention, I tried turning hardware acceleration off as was suggested elsewhere on the support forum, but this didn't help either.
