Videos stopping and starting.

YYou tube and sky go stopped working properly from one day to the next. The videos stop and start every two minutes. There is a spinning icon next to the wifi icon when this happens. Why?

Well, ipad 1 has not got the best wifi. Your iPad may be lagging (because it's old) and can't cope with video playback. maybe it's time for a better ipad?

Videos stop and start

I've got a fast computer w/plenty of ram. I can watch videos from all other sources perfectly smooth, including Quicktime HD movie trailers.
When I try to watch a video in iTunes it slows my computer down so much that besides the videos stopping and starting, my mouse won't even move smoothly.
It worked fine until a couple of weeks ago.

One reason is that your internet connection is not fast enough to keep up with the video. You may find that when it gets to the end of the video and has fully downloaded, it will replay without stopping.

Buffered videos stop and start

I am trying to watch online video and tv. The video streaming stops and starts. It can be youtube, vimeo, or a television show online -- same poor result. I have a very slow connection. Knowing this, I always wait for the video to buffer -- there is always a greyed buffered bar well ahead of where I am watching. The video still stops and starts. Is this a connection issue or something else? Thanks.

T1 that is brutally slow, but I had hoped that despite how slow the connection is, the buffering would eventually get it downloaded. So even though its buffering, the slow T1 can still make the videos stop and start?

Video stopping and starting on macbook pro

All video stops and starts and takes forever to play. What can I do?

You posted in the iMac forum. Even though the issue could be the same on either Mac, you might try the MBP forum for better help.

Video stops and starts

Sometimes video streaming makes images stop and start every 2 minutes or so, and although it doesn't always happen the problem it's getting worse. Is there any way of fixing it? Thanks

Do a Speedtest, you need at least 4Mbps to stream nicely.

Videos stopping and starting every three to five seconds

I am having problems downloading videos from U Tube and msn. I can't even download videos from the Apple Site. The videos from U Tube stop and start every 3 to 5 seconds. They resume after 3 to 5 seconds. I have downloaded the latest version of QuickTime. I have gone into preferences-advanced and changed the transport setup to custom; set transport protocol to http and post to 80. I have also clicked on the streaming tab; set the speed to one lower than the ISP connection and move th enable instant on slider 2-3 bars from the left. What else can I try?

There is currently no official version of MSN Messenger for Mac that supports video, unfortunately-- you might try aMSN instead, but I haven't used it myself so can't comment on the video support:

However, the built-in camera works fine for me on Skype (and Yahoo last time I tried, which was a while ago), which suggests something else might be wrong somewhere...

Podcasts and tv shows videos stop and start when playing. The Audio flows fine, but video freezes for a moment and continues. Do you know what I can do to fix?

When watching a podcast or tv program on itunes the video freezes and starts. The audio still flows just fine. Do you know what the solution might be?

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

Why does the video stop and start using airplay on Mountain Lion?

Why does the picture stop and start using airplay on Mountain Lion? I'm playing a film from a website and uising airplay to iTV. The sound is fine, but the picture stops and starts. Any ideas?

HT1338 question: videos stop and start playing, don't run continuous

What can I do to make downloaded videos work properly> Right now, they start and stop every few seconds.

Depending on the format of the video it may play better with VLC media player. VLC seems to play anything.
Of course if you're DLing while playing it is buffering.

My videos stop and start

Why do the apple videos to demonstrate apps stop every couple of seconds?

Youtube loading bar is not responding and the videos stop and start re-loading again and it doesn't move again.

When I start loading a video, it either load the entire bar and freezes or it freezes while in the middle. When it tries to load again it just won't start and I have to refresh but it still freezes up. Also when I try to pause the vide it doesn't respond as well.

Why is video stopping and starting

Two tv shows I bought recently are unwatchable because of the stop/start issue. I have a MBP, 4g memory, and even with all programmes closed except itunes, the problem persists

Flash player stops and starts intermittently

Does anyone know why videos stop and start intermittently. It becomes frustrating to watch and I eventually give up.

op sys win 7 adobe flash player 10
I have the same problem. it seems related to bandwidth.
i am limited in my data plan to 256 kb/sec
i did not have this problem a year ago. but had it when i used win xp as well. Today noticed a site where i could choose low speed, medium speed or high speed bandwith. i chose the low speed 265 kb and the video played flawlessly without stopping and starting
I claim no expertise and eagerly await some informed advice on whether it is possible change a setting within flash player to accomadate us low bandwith users.

Stops and starts in video streaming from iphone to tv using apple tv and airplay.Both devices have latest software and are capable.

When try to stream content (specifically, videos from Acorn.com) to my TV through my apple TV from my iphone 5,The video freezes, stops and starts continually, even though it is playing smoothly on the screen of my iphone. both iphone, Apple TV are capable models and have latest software updates.
What's wrong here?

Not necessarily, but right now you don't have a stable network and there are a lot of factors that can compromise that. I didn't say ethernet was the only option, again you can get a report of your network to see the status. Would have to change things in order to strengthen the wifi signal (i.e. router location, channel,placement of ATV etc). I am running on wireless without issue, same as most users, and if you took it to a controlled environment (like Apple) you would see similar results.
