Watching certain video is slow and pauses on Google Chrome Browser

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me out with this.
I watch a fair amount of videos on www.cnet.com and I use Google Chrome as my main web browser.  I have a 13" MBA purchased in Jan 2011 running OS X 10.6.8
Whenever I watch the videos, the audio plays without a problem but the video will lag/stutter making it impossible to watch without wanting to throw something at my MBA.  When I try the videos on Safari there is on video lag/stutter at all.  It is not the internet connection either as you can see the video loading fine and as I said, Safari does not behave in the same way.  I know I can switch to using Safari as my default browser but I really enjoy Chrome's features and would like to keep using it.  If anyone has any ideas what the problem might be I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Replying to an email is not the only time it lags and freezes.  I went to edit a contact's information the other day and when I clicked on the Contacts button, the iCloud Mail window lagged and froze again.  Sometimes, when I log out, the Google Chrome plug-in will crash and I have to refresh the page.

    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • Hello my MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.

    Hello,
    My MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.
    What is the problem?
    It will be necessary to take him on a technical assistance?
    thank you

    Have you tried an alternate browser to see if the same issue happens? Try Firefox or Chrome. Chrome has Flash embedded in it, so if it doesn't work, it's probably not a Flash issue. FIrefox is at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and Chrome is at https://www.google.com/chrome .
    Another thing to try is to sign up for HTML5 video from Youtube. See http://www.youtube.com/html5

  • Why the video is slow and stutter on the viewer clip?

    Why the video is slow and stutter when I drag the mouse on the cursor to check from left to right?
    I just upgraded to imac 20" and I had never had this problem with my old mac. The old mac seemed to be smoother than this one.
    The only difference was my 1 TB external hardrive is linkup using USB 2.0 this time round since I've not purchased the Firewire 800 yet. Does using USB 2.0 cause this problem?

    I noticed something from my previous iMac. When I drag the cursor from left to right, there is no sound when I'm dragging. Thus, that makes me think that the absence of audio produce smoother flow. How do I disable the audio while I'm working on the viewer then?

  • My macbook's performance is quite slow and it freezes I haven't shut it down in over a month. I shut it down yesterday for over 12 hours yet upon starting up again the slowness persists. Removed Google chrome application the speed arose slightly any tips?

    I haven't shut it down in over a month. I shut it down yesterday for over 12 hours yet upon starting up again the slowness persists. Removed Google chrome application the speed arose slightly any tips? I contacted a support member but unfortunately my warranty has run out, he suggested that may be a result of putting the mac into sleep constantly, and not shutting down and that there may be files i can clear to remedy the issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
    Regards.

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • I just downloaded mountain lion and now my google chrome and spotify wont open

    I just downloaded mountain lion and now my google chrome and spotify wont open.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I have Mac OS 10.5.8 and cannot install Google Chrome

    I've read everywhere that you must have OS 10.5 or higher in order to install Google Chrome. I have OS 10.5.8 and have downloaded Google Chrome from various locations only to get the same result: "You cannot open the application “Google Chrome” because it is not supported on this architecture." Can anyone please let me in on the magical secret of how to install Google Chrome? ...or am I just doomed to not being able to use it with this OS?

    Chrome will only run on an Intel Mac--your profile indicates that you have a G5, which is a PowerPC machine. If this is correct, you cannot install & run Google Chrome on that computer.
