Videos stop starting on web pages

Hello.
A UK Member here!
When I play videos on YouTube and other websites like news channels etc. does the flow of the video become bitty (stop/start) and not free flowing please?
Is it my Graphics card? Does it need updating? If so, to what please?
If not then what is the problem please?
My broadband is a good connection of 4MB.
OSX10.4.11
Thanks in advance!

The buss speed on the older PPC power macs is insufficient to stream video. The network card takes a significant amount of resources then adding the data bandwidth for video and there is nothing left. The machine just wasn't made for that much data to flow through it. When the network card needs to off load data to the HD, it requires complete control of the data buss for that time. The video needs the same when it loads data. The two collide and you get a freeze of the video. (one has to win the conflict.) A faster machine is needed. There are vastly many other factors that can cause this problem in even the speedy machines but the PPC mac's of yesterday just can't handle the load. There are things that can be done to minimize the IO buss workload like limiting apps that are running. In the end, you just need a more modern machine for modern usages.
That is my take on it.

How do I embed a youtube video in a flash web page?

I am attempting to embed a youtube video in a flash web page I created. I have been able to do this in html on static sites and thought I might be able to do the same in flash. Can anyone walk me thru the steps to do this?

Thank you Rob,
I am VERY new to actionscript and have an additional question:
I saw this in the beginning notes of the document link you sent me:
Use the following URL to load the chromeless player into your
application and build your own custom controls in Flash:
http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?version=3
how do I do this? Do I do this in actionscript (how) or the import
feature?
Any additional assistance you give me will be greatly appreciated

How can I stop Safari reloading web pages every time?

When I am using Safari on my iPad I frequently want to jump between web pages or between the internet and other applications. This is simple on my laptop as once I have loaded a page it does not require reloading until I ask it to, but on my iPad I find it next to impossible as each page gets reloaded when you move back to it. We have a slow internet connection and that coupled with the latest version of iOS working slowly on my iPad makes it very frustrating.
Is there anyway I can stop Safari from doing this?
I am using an iPad 2 with the latest version of iOS

I wish it was that simple, but I'm afraid it's not. Turning off Background App Refresh doesn't affect page reloading. Supposedly the reloads are due to limited memory forcing Safari to keep no more than a very few (3 to 5, depending on device) pages in memory; pages therefore routinely get deleted from memory, thus forcing reloads. I haven't tried it yet, but reportedly the iCab browser ($1.99) retains its tabs / web pages and will display them without reloads. As will a couple of other browsers, just not Safari.

How do I get OT fonts to stop distorting on Web pages (in Internet Explorer)?

I created a great-looking newsletter in Adobe InDesign CS4 (I work for a very large organization and am still waiting for newer software, sorry). It used Adobe OpenType fonts including Myriad Pro, Myriad Pro Black, and Adobe Caslon Pro. I selected "Optimize for web use" when exporting it. Our Web team then placed the PDF on our web page, using FTP. When people viewed the PDF in Internet Explorer 9, (again, my organization is slow to change) the fonts either were distorted or did not even look like text. The same PDF looked fine in Google Chrome and IE 11. In addition to being held at ID CS4 and IE9, we are also at Acrobat Profession version 10.
I did three things to prevent this issue:
I reloaded the old PostScript versions of Myriad (from PageMaker) and Adobe Caslon into the Fonts subfolder of my InDesign application folder, to deal with the body text.
In InDesign, I clicked Edit, selected Transparency Flattener Presets, and created a new preset with the Convert All Text to Outlines box checked (see illustration below),
I created a new PDF Export preset, which compresses images down to 72, 72 and 150 DPI respectively but did NOT check the "Optimize for Fast Web View" box. I also did NOT check"compress text and line art" in the dialogue box. I temporarily set Compatibility down to Acrobat 4, and then selected the new "textoutline" transparency flattener preset that I made in Step 2. I then reset Compatibility to Acrobat 8 and saved the preset (the transp0arency flattener is now selected but grayed out).
This stopped the distortion. (We continued to use Myriad Pro Black as a headline font). However, PostScript fonts are 20th Century. How can I use Adobe OpenType fonts in the future instead of PostScript fonts?

Still trying to solve the problem. It may be one of my Acrobat job options. Any ideas on how to get Adobe OpenType fonts NOT to pixilate in PDFs created in InDesign CS4 viewed on the Internet in older versions of Internet Explorer?

Firefox latest update will not print youtube videos on my websites - just has a blank space in place of video when I print web page?

WinXP - When I preview a web page before printing it - it is blank where my Youtube video should appear - and when I print the web page, Firefox prints a blank space where the video should appear?
How can I fix this?

Can't be done due to the aforementioned Bug that was reported on the Gecko Core back in 2002. Never worked in Firefox which was just beginning initial development under the Phoenix moniker, when that Bug was filed.
'''Content of plugins (flash, java applets) doesn't get rendered for printing or print preview'''
Have you tried "printing" to PDF??

How can I disable html5 videos from displaying on web pages?

I use yahoo.com as my "news" page. In the last month or so there are more and more small format videos next to the new article. Used to be just a still pic, but now more "invasive". If I had my way I'd still click on "text only" like the old modem days. I want to READ an article, and I find the video images on their main page, before clicking on a story, to be distracting. Also, I'm on a limited data usage plan so don't appreciate them shoving data down my throat.
Using Firefox 32.0 and Windows 8.1
Yesterday I installed the "No Script" extension thinking I could block Just these videos, but doesn't seem to work that way. It blocks most everything including interactions like clicking on a button.
If I examine the "object" (video) it appears to be an "html5" item. This seems to be something new from what I can google.
There are a few help screens for html5, but these are "how do I play them" instead of "how can I block them".

Try to set the media.autoplay.enabled pref to false on the about:config page.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

You can also see if this extension works (Flash Block is currently broken).

Why does the start up web page say my Firefox is out of date; and the link I click to to fix it says it IS up to date? Was the first one a lie?

Which is the lie, the first page or the second web page?
The details are that my first time user impression is that Firefox is a liar, or that the web page is developed by liars; or that the program doesn't function well as it said that my Firefox was out of date, but the link to fix the problem said that is was up to date. So, the only purpose of the statement that it was out of date was to get me to register, and that the company doesn't care what I think about it. I am totally open to another logical explanation. I mean you could give me an illogical explanation based on emotion but I'll just reject it and then uninstall Firefox because, well, that should be obvious. So, if it wasn't a lie, then the second page was a lie.... which is it?

If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins then such a message is likely a scam and you should never respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
*Only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
*Plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You will need to use server scripting methods to do this. Do
you have any
familiarity with PHP, ASP, ASP.Net, etc?

WiFi user start up web page/How do you create one with an AirPort Extreme?

I have an AirPort Extreme Base Station, a 17" PowerBook and a 12" PowerBook.
I also have a website with a dedicated server. How could I set-up my AirPort Extreme to send people to a specific web page each time they access my WiFi?
I have seen this work at various businesses that offer WiFi and I would like to do something kind of similar. I don't mind people using my WiFi. But, this could be a way to get more free advertising for what I do.

You would need a server between the Airport base station and the internet.
Something like this

Including video player in a web page

Hi,
We are trying to include a vedio player in our web site which should be compatible with MAC & Windows OS (Safari & IE browsers). We tried Real player , VLC player & Quick time but they are not running without codec.
If it is running for mac, it will not run in Windows & vis a vsa.
Can anyone suggest a player we can embed into our website which will be compatible with both OS.
Thanks

Flash Video format

In the last month my iPad has started refreshing web pages on it's own. let's say I'm filling out a form or typing something on Facebook and have to put iPad down for a minute when I come back to page, it refreshes and I lose everything.

when I first got it, it did not do this. It's very annoying. I've searched and I can find nothing and of course my warranty is up so apple won't help. any ideas on why it's doing this. sometimes if I clear cache and cookies and then turn off and back on, it will stop doing it for a couple hours

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Possible to "grab" a video clip from a web page?

I am listening to a video clip (spoken by a favorite writer of mine,
http://anon.salon.speedera.net/anon.salon/mp3s/nin1.mp3 ) and I would like to get it, have it, and put it in my hard drive to listen to with a single click. Is this possible? To "grab" a video clip from the Internet?

Lorna,
the trick is not to hold down the shift key and then
press the rightmost arrow on the QT player, but hold
down the Ctr key instead.
.......... Lorna says .............................................
Hello, Mr. Ouderkirk.......... I FEEL LIKE THE BIGGEST NERD ON THE PLANET. I read your reply and also the reply of NewMacGuru and do not see any of the items to which you both refer. First of all, I actually was able to get the download by following Mike Wong's instructions, but you were very kind to reply and I want to acknowledge you (and I also want to learn what you are trying to teach me!!).
The thing for me is: I see a blank screen with a video clip icon. There are no down arrows, there is no indication of a QUICKTIME player anywhere. Thus, your and NewMacGuru's instructions to me to click this and that thing is like telling the nomad in the desert, "Find that Coke machine, insert 75¢, and the can will fall out" and the nomad is sitting there on his camel, scratching all the hairs out of his head. (But in a loving way.)
A menu will appear giving you the option to save the
movie to the desktop (at least it does that on my
computer, but I do use QT Pro)
An alternative for you could be to use Ambrosia
software's 'Wiretap' which lets you grap any sound
that your computer produces.
Have fun.
Harry
.......... Lorna says .............................................
Harry, I like the idea of Ambrosia, but there is the Basic 101 part of my brain that wants me to understand everyone's explanations. Maybe this is a bad thing for me and maybe I should just be glad that there are ways to do things without understanding what one is doing -- like iWeb making a webite without knowing a lick of HTML.
So.... imagine me seeing a white screen with no arrows, no nothng except that long thin horizontal icon of a video control bar, and you will see my predicament. BUT THANK YOU FOR TRYING, HARRY.

.Mac Tutorials / videos stopped working in web browsers

Sorry - this is a cross post from .Mac discussion group.
I can't see any of the video in the .Mac Learning Center. Can hear sound but that's it.
Tried using IE 7 as well as Firefox 2.0.0.9
Only thing that I can think of is that I upgraded iTunes to 7.5.
Any ideas?
Windows XP Pro SP2
Any ideas?

Windows Quicktime should be run in "Safe" mode

All browsers stopped loading certain web pages

A couple months ago, Safari stopped loading a couple of websites that I often visit. Notably, wikipedia.org and allofmp3.com stopped loading. I thought it might be a Safari problem, so I tried Internet Explorer...same problem. Once in a while, they would load, but not completely, and it was extremely slow. Now neither of them will load at all. At the time I searched on these discussions and found lots of similar problems (although none exactly like mine). I've literally tried everything that has been posted on here as a solution short of getting a new computer. I have a PowerBook G4 by the way, with OS X 10.4.
Anyways, I've simply lived without these websites, but now another site that I use every day is going down the same path...www.facebook.com. So I'm having another go at fixing the problem. I talked to a techie at an apple store about it once, and he didn't have a clue what to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Based on what I have read on here, the sites that don't work vary based on the computer. Therefore, it is not a problem with the websites. Also, it is not a problem with my internet connection (i'm on a University network). The sites suddenly stopped working, and nothing with the network has changed. Also, every other computer on the network has no problems with these sites. Any help? Thanks!

Hello Ohio!
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
As a general rule you should not have problems browsing on your Mac. However there are times when you will have a problem on a site or two because the webdesigner made it specifically for windows and it causes problems on a Mac. Yahoo is a popular site that has this problem. I have heard a comment or two about Facebook in the past. Most people here use Safari and/or Firefox (Camino) as there browsers as these are the most popular on Mac. Often Firefox can display something properly when Safari can't. Most likely due to the fact that there is also a Firefox on pc. When you mention Internet Explorer I assume you mean on pc? As the Mac version is outdated.
I also have a PowerBook G4 and I can say that with the exception of one or two sites Safari displays everything fine. If I get stuck that's when I open Firefox (Camino though is my preference).
That's all pretty general and I'm not sure if that helps? If you haven't given these sites a run with Firefox try that and then let us know how it goes...
Thanks,
Reg
