Video Streaming stalls on Macbook Pro

I have been having issues with streaming. I thought it was my internet connection, then my wife tried the same video (nfl.com) with his laptop PC and it played it just fine! Why are we having streaming video issues with macbook pro?! It's brand new!! Plus, when we watch directTV online, my connection continually buffers while hers has no issues.

For example:
According to this: http://www.cable-modem.net/broadbandarticles/comcastspeed.html T1 service providers offer 1.544 Mbps download and upload speeds and Comcast has long offered high-speed broadband connections with 6 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload speeds; but with the advent of DOCSIS 3.0 technology, Comcast cable modems can now access the Internet at wideband speeds as high as 50 Mbps at affordable prices.
You can see, download speed is not a big advantage of a T1 line.

Video streaming issues with macbook pro

This is driving me crazy. When attempting to stream video, eg from youtube or netflix etc, the video will go along fine for some random amount of time and then start skipping and stuttering, both the sound and the picture. This can be cured at first by pausing and playing the video but eventually the audio gets a loud buzz and the only thing that fixes this is a restart. it's gotten to the point that I would have to restart 6 or 7 times to watch a movie. I noticed that when the audio gets to this quality that it effects all audio for the computer - alerts, itunes, everything. I don't think it's related to connection speed as I am on a T1 line and downloads are fast. Also - I have been getting more frequent kernel panics lately (about once a month). Any help? Thanks!

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.

Why is music streamed from my MacBook Pro to Apple TV via AirPlay choppy?

I'm trying to stream music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my new Apple TV via AirPlay, but the music is extremely choppy, cutting in and out. It's completely unlistenable. However, I can use AirPlay to stream from my Macbook Pro to my Pioneer VSX 1021 AirPlay enabled receiver with no issues. Additionally, I can stream from my iPhone or iPad to the Apple TV without these issues. Therefore it would appear wifi bandwidth is not the root cause. I'm stumped. Help!

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

I'm struggling to move video clips from my macbook pro to my ipad. a few play but most won't go over in the sync. What format do I need to clips to be in?

Greetings. I'm attempting to sync video clips from my macbook pro to my ipad 2 without much success. A few videos go over and the rest can't. What format do they need to be in? Thanks for any help you can give. JWA

QuickTime Pro costs a few buck but is a good tool to have on hand as it can open and transcode a wide variety of video and audio formats.
It's like a Swiss Army knife for media files.

Video died on my MacBook Pro, question on Time Machine

Hi -
The video died on my MacBook Pro (2007 - after some research I see there was a recall on it due to a manufacturer's defect). I hadn't backed up in a few months - so would like to back it up before I take the computer into the store. I have mounted the MacBook Pro on another computer by pressing Option + Power and all seems fine on the hard drive. I did try to run Time Machine though, and the computer doesn't seem to recognize that it has backed up on this same drive previously - it wants to back up the entire computer. Is there a way for the MacBook Pro to recognize the firewire drive and run Time Machine as it did before? I am running OS 10.6.8
Thank you!

I had done that as well (used Carbon Copy Cloner too! ) but I was concerned in the case I had to buy a new computer with a later OS (and being unable to mount the old drive/OS on the new computer to transfer the data - I ran into that issue earlier) - but I see now there is also a Migration Assistant that can help with that if I do indeed have to buy a new machine. Thank you!

I've partitoned Windows swell and it says the same thing? I'm trying to live capture from my Sony Camcorder through Elgato but I just get the above message?

This means that the backups were made with a later version than the version currently on the phone. You will have to update the phone to 6.1.3 to be able to restore the backup. You can restore a backup made with an earlier version, but not with a later version.

I downloaded a web site isytd video downloader on my macbook pro, to download videos. but it didnt work , so I removed the softwear from my mac, even I removed it the download sign appears on the left top of my video screen, so I want to remove this

I downloaded a web site isytd video downloader on my macbook pro, to download videos. but it didnt work , so I removed the softwear from my mac, even I removed it the download sign appears on the left top of my video screen, so I want to remove this download sign. How can I get this done? Please help me.

Many apps are not completely removed if the .app file is trashed (which is what I believe you've done so far).
If you don't want to dig through the system to manually remove library files, I recommend the use of AppCleaner, which does the job for you.

Video scrabbled on 15" Macbook Pro made in 2009

I see that Mac is offering money back on video cards that went bad on 2007 and 2008 video graphic cards, but I took my out of warranty Macbook Pro 15 in. to the Apple Store and the woman said we did not fall under the dates Apple approved for the money back for the repairs. Just wondering if anyone else is having this scrabbled video issue with there Macbook Pro?

They only hooked it up to a external monitor and the Macbook Pro never had a issue. But when we started the Macbook Pro up the woman saw the vidoe get distorted and flicker and then it never showed any signs of a problem after that while we were at the apple store, she told us to send it away and they would fix anything wrong for a flat rate of 300 dollars. Not sure I am ready to fork out that money until I research this problem further. The macbook is well taken care of and it passed the TechTool Deluxe Tests just fine. Now a week later is acting up again with the scrabbled screen issues. Not sure if heat as anything to do with it?

Transfer video from ipad2 to macbook pro?

Is there a way to transfer video from ipad2 to macbook pro? I took some videos and would like to transfer it so I can edit it on imovie. I'm surprised that iphoto doesn't recognize videos to transfer from ipad2 to macbook pro. It seems like it only does it for photos. Videos should be included.

Sunflower5-
Reading your question, I made a short video on my iPad 2. It showed up in the Photos camera roll.
Running iPhoto and connecting the iPad to my Mac Pro, I selected the iPad under DEVICES. The video was at the end of the photos, I selected it and clicked on "Import Selected". I then dragged the imported video to my desktop and it played in QuickTime Player when I double-clicked it.
Then I tried it with Aperture. The dragged copy appeared to play in QuickTime Player, but the screen was black. However an Exported Version played correctly.

HT204022 If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

They will not be deleted if they have been imported to your iPhoto library. To ensure this happens automatically, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import:
To confirm that they have been imported to your library, click on iCloud on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My Photo Stream album on the right, then Control-Click on your pictures. If you see "Show in Library" in the pop-up, the picture has been imported to your library and you can safely delete it from photo stream.
