Viewing news and you tube videos freezing or pausing

I have had my Macbook Pro for almost 3 months. Latest model. I thought it was suppose to be the best so why when I view news videos, you-tube or any other video, they will slowly load, start then pause with spinning beach ball then resume, then pause again?  I have 4 GB of memory and processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5.   What do I need to do to remedy this problem? Thanks for any help.

And what speeds are you paying for? If you're paying for more speed than you're getting, I'd be hollering about it if I were you.
I'm paying for 16 Mb/s, and I believe I will be talking with my ISP on Monday.

  • You tube videos freezing with ipad2

    I am trying to help a friend with their ipad2.  Here is what they have:
    IPAD2
    Comcast as their internet service provider
    Apple AirPort Wireless Router
    My friend does not have a computer so I used my laptop to set up his secure network.  I had to download the airport utility software on my laptop.  He now has a secure network.  My question is this...when he is using his IPAD2, and watching you tube videos, the IPAD2 screen freezes...if I bring my laptop over to his house and he uses his IPAD2, the you tube video's work fine.   I left this evening thinking everything was working properly...we tried the video's that were freezing..and they worked perfectly.  I get home,,,and he calls to tell me the freezing is happening again...Does anyone out there know what I need to do?  I am thinking something has to be turned on or off  his IPAD2.  I have not had any luck finding any documentation that points to this...
    Thank you-

  • Itunes cards and you-tube videos

    Hi Guys,
    I am not computer savvy and I have 2 (potentially silly) questions for Mac-addicts:
    1. Can I use already used i-tunes cards on a new computer? Both cards are worth 1500 yen each. I got a new job and a new Mac. Hence the pb...
    2. Can I download you-tube videos on my i-tunes and then copy them onto DVDs so as to play them on a DVD player?
    Regards,
    RL

  • Have an iMac (early 2008).  Safari worked fine.  I could watch videos on YouTube.  I downloaded 10.9.2 and You Tube videos will no longer load on Safari, but I have no trouble viewing using Firefox.  I wonder if the new 10.9.2 download corrupted Safari?

    Do I have a Safari problem?  Since downloading 10.9.2 Safari no longer loads YouTube videos on my iMac.  Firefox downloads the same videos from YouTube with ease.

    One of the following steps should help.
    1. Install Adobe Flash Player.
        http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
        Quit Safari.
        Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
    2.  Enable Plug-ins
    3. Check  whether you are currently  in  YouTube HTML 5 trial.
         http://www.youtube.com/html5
        At the bottom  left of the page  uncheck the box for
       "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
    4. Reset Safari.
    5. Turn off Extensions/Plug-ins if any that may interfere with Flash working properly.
    Best.

    Good morning.
    Apple no longer includes Flash with the new Macs.  So, if you run into things that require Flash you must, if you want to view them, go to the Adobe site and download the Flashplayer as Paul_31 suggested.
    Enjoy your day.

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • I have an ipad 2 and when connected to my wifi at home it will not download and play you tube videos quickly.  Do I need to upgrade my connenction speed?  What is the optimal speed?

    I have an ipad2.  When connected to my wifi at home it will not download you tube videos for easy viewing.  Do I need to upgrade my connection speed?  Would 3 Mbps be enought or do I need to go to 6 Mbps.  I mainly use my ipad to view emails, browse the internet and watch you tube videos.
    thanks - Michelle

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    There are a number of factors in the 'speed' equation. Any or all of them can affect the 'observed' speed of your connection.
    1. Are you in a neighborhood full of WiFi routers (and thus, lots of WiFi interference)? I can 'see' at least 22 other WiFi routers from my living room!
    2. What is the maximum connect speed and band and bandwidth available from your wireless router. Is it 802.11n or the older 802.11a/b/g? 300Mbits or 150Mbits? 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz or both? Does your router measure (QoS) Quality of Service and can it change 'channels' automatically?
    3. What is the observed strength of your wireless connection? Are you getting at least 80% signal when connected? Are there other people in your family also using significant bandwidth at the same time (Netflix, streaming video, streaming audio, game systems)
    4. What is the "advertised" speed of your current ISP connection?
    5. What is the measured throughput of your current setup.  Go to speedtest.net or use the free speedtest.net app available in the App Store.  Try several times, from different locations in your home, and at different times of day and night.
    I have AT&T DSL advertised at 3Mbit/sec down and 512Kbit/sec up. My Speedtest.net measured throughput is about 2.4 Mbit/sec downstream and upstream is about 0.4Mbit/sec. I'm using a Motorola Netopia 2210-2 DSL modem. I have no problem viewing YouTube videos and other mobile video content on the iPad 2.  I'm connected wirelessly to a D-Link DIR-655 Gigabit router rated at 150Mbps at 2.4Ghz (only) with 802.11 b/g/n enabled. The interior of my home is within a range of 30-50 feet from the router and no more than 1 wall.  It is a single level concrete slab foundation of about 1500 sq. ft. with cathedral ceilings. I have successfully streamed ESPN3.com on my MacBook at the same time my son was streaming another ESPN3.com game on his MacBook Pro. I've streamed YouTube videos while my son was watching a NetFlix movie on his Wii game system. He's also successfully used Skype for extended 'teleconferences.' None of my devices are connected to HDMI on a large screen TV. 95% of the time, I can do iChat video without any signal breakup to my son (who is at a college with a Gigabit (1000Mbit) wired connection!). 5% of the time the connection drops. We haven't tried FaceTime (designed for mobile connections to be much less bandwidth-intensive, from what I understand) simply because we both have iChat on our computers.
    So for me, a 3Mbit DSL connection is absolutely adequate, given all the other parameters mentioned. As the car manufacturers say, "Your mileage may vary."
