What causes videos to pause or freeze on You Tube?

I have Flash Player 10 ActiveX, Windows 7 and Internet Explorer (64 -bit).  When I watch Fly Tieing videos on You Tube they will play 5 - 10 seconds then pause 15 - 20 seconds.  This keeps repeating till the end of the video.  Some videos will vary as to the time of playing and pausing but none will play continuously.  I can restart the video and it will play without any pauses.
I was told to Uninstall Flash Player and download it again.  I have Uninstalled, restarted, downloaded, and restarted twice and it didn't do any good.  I was also told to go to where Flash Player is saved and start it from there and it would download properly.  When I downloaded it both times the dialog box never appeared as to where to save it.  I have checked my All Programs listings and it is not listed.  The only place I can find it is on the Control Panel Uninstall list.  I can't find where it is located.
I don't know very much about computers and would appreciate some help
It is sure aggravating when it takes 30 minutes to watch a 5 minute video. 

Hi, thanks for the info. Do you know how to find the Flash folder? C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash. Right click
on the Flash folder and post back all files listed there.
Also, Using IE, "View and Manage your Internet Explorer Add-ons", find All Add-ons. Look for Shockwave Flash Object...
ActiveX Control...Flash10e.ocx (this is the latest version 10.0.45.2) and make sure it is listed and enabled.
If you need direction to find the Flash folder, just post.
Thanks,

  • WHAT CAUSES FOR AN APPLICATION TO FREEZE DURING INSTALL?

    What causes for an application to freeze during install?  and how do I fix it

    helloWorld pretty much said it all.
    When I'm looking for problems like that nothing beats a good trace file. Also don't dismiss the idea of programmer stupidity (of the one that developed the app), I've ran across code where exceptions where caught and nothing done about it, just let thing run merrily along again. The cause is usually farther back in the trace than the point it hangs or appears to start having problems.

  • HT1430 I suddenly can.t access you tube via videos via my iPad . Tried via safari and you tube app on iPad but it says no videos and  then ask me for  you tube password . Never had to use a pass word

    I suddenly can,t access you tube videos via my iPad. Tried safari and you tube app on iPad. I get no videos  and then it asks for you tube password. Not had that before.

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • HT201335 What causes the TV screen to freeze but sound continue on TV when using Air Play from I Phone?

    What causes TV screen to freeze but sound continue on TV when using Air Play from I Phone 4?

    First try rebooting ATV and router. Beyond that, it's probably something within the network, typically interference.
    To get a report of the network go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC). Look for signal strength and noise.
    If on wifi try ethernet.

  • MobileMe Syn and Disk Utility Causes Video Card Pauses

    Not sure what causes this, but every time MobileMe Sync or DiskUtility is doing something, my system basically becomes unusable. The video card drops to around 15fps and stutters - it's to the point I never let MobileMe sync because it always "chooses" to do it's thing during the most heavily used time - not being able to specify a sync time is rediculous.
    Any ideas of why my system is getting hit so hard? Thanks.

    SynchServices has been... interesting, glad I don't use it.
    High cpu usage? you might want to do what one person recommended: just sign out and then sign back in. Not sure why. Others thought it would be necessary to delete .plist file.
    Might want to also see MacIntouch and MacFixit for their reader reports and troubleshooting tips. er, not much hope or help there...

    Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. 
    A suggestion:
    Go to YouTube, open any video and press pause (don't do this while video is playing).
    Click the ctrl key or “right click” the mouse in the middle of the video window. The settings for flash player will pop up. 
    Select the video settings then select "enable hardware acceleration."   
    Press close.
    Now RESTART YOUR  COMPUTER not just Safari if that is your browser of choice.

  • What causes the desktop menus to freeze and webpage to keep opening without an internet connection?

    A problem this time with my other Mac Mini: the Apple community page that I was on I shrunk down and got on with other things on my Mac Mini. Then I stopped to eat and disconnected from the internet. I called up Safari to close it down but this page won't go away and it won't let me access any other app or the menu options!!! I try rebooting that doesn't work. I try loading the OSX install disk and that doesn't do anything, it just goes straight back to the same stupid webpage again trying to connect, but even when I put in a patch cable connection to the router it still freezes. Is my only option now to take the hardisk out and connect externally to the first Mac Mini and load its install disk then reformat the hardisk I've just taken out?!

    Hmmm, try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)

  • My iMac os 10.7.4 Lion purchased 2/12 has jerky videos.  I've tried watching you tube and other videos with Safari and Google Chrome and sometimes they don;t jerk but most of the time the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds.  Help

    my iMac os lion 10.7.4 has jerky videos.  I've tried YouTube videos with Safari and Google Chrome and the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds.  I can't watch the white house weeklky address because it stops and starts every few seconds.  The software is up to date.  Just bought this thing in February 2012.  Can anyone help me? 

    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Might also apply to new machines w/o AppleCare.

  • Snow Leopard, quicktime H264 playback, cinema speakers cause video freezing

    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on an early 2009 MBP 17 (2.66ghz) with 9400 and 9600 graphics chipsets. This version of Snow Leopard supports hardware-accelerated H264 video playback on the 9400 chipset. I have a 1080p video which plays back flawlessly using Snow Leopard's Quicktime player with hardware accelerated decoding (averages less than 5% of the CPU during playback of 1080p video).
    Since I added the Apple Cinema Display 24 (ACD24) with its built-in USB speakers, I can no longer play this video back smoothly with the ACD's speakers in use for the sound. This setup causes frequent video playback pauses and freeze-frames (sound continues to play).
    If I switch the system audio back to the MBP's built-in speakers, the playback immediately returns to being flawless.
    I've also noticed that Windows 7 under Bootcamp does not work very well with these speakers, which frequently pop and click under Windows 7 when music or video is being played.
    Any suggestions for troubleshooting these problems?

    I seem to have fixed it.. I spent an hour troubleshooting. I logged into my vanilla guest account and the glitches were still there, so I knew if the problem was from 3rd party software, it was installed system-wide or at least for all users. So I removed all my 3rd party PreferencePanes and the problem disappeared. I slowly added them a couple at a time and the culprit was the Unsanity software (Application Enhancer, FruitMenu, MenuMaster, etc) .. I went to their site and the last update is about Leopard compatibility.. lol. So I think I'm just not going to use their software anymore. Problem solved!
