Why do all videos I watch constantly pause??

Bonnie-
Frequent pauses might be explained by a slow Internet connection.  If you see a dual progress bar, one is for viewing and the other is for downloading.  When viewing catches up to downloading, a pause occurs until more data is downloaded.
To eliminate the pauses, stop the video and wait for it to completely download.

  • Why is all video on my MBP screen jerky, please help.

    So; after a few weeks since I bought my Samsung Syncmaster monitor to watch and do everything on, I have just gone back to using the screen on my MacBook Pro, and all video; that means any codec, avi, mpeg, mkv, on any player: Quicktime, Flip4Mac, VLC, BBC iPlayer or YouTube is jerky, by which I mean: every 5 seconds or so, there is a short pause of about 0.25 seconds.
    Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

    I think I found a solution, if not the definite cause of this issue: I went to Energy Saver in Sys Prefs and switched from 'better battery life' to 'Higher Performance'. After logging back in, the input latency problem had gone, as well as the stuttering video, but the fan on my MBP went in to overdrive, so loud that it took away the enjoyment of watching video.
    So I switched back to 'Better battery life', the latency has gone, along with the video jitters, and the CPU doesn't need to be cooled down.
    I'm still curious to know why switching between them has fixed the problem, if anyone can shed light on this I would be grateful.

  • Why do some videos I try to play have "Captions Settings" window open over them?

    Perhaps 30% of the videos I try to play on line, such as this on ABC News this morning, have this window that opens over them.
    I cannot dismiss it. Clicking on any of the options does not help.
    This began several months ago?

    Thanks for your help!

  • I cannot seem to be able to play videos on YouTube. All I keep getting no matter what video I try to watch is a blank black screen.

    I will try to download any updates for QuickTime Player and see if that solves the problem. That is the only thing I can think of at the moment.

  • Why does all videos keep buffering and not play

    Why do videos keep buffering and play when I select them?

    I am in Florida, and  have a comcast business account and get download speeds of 22mbps (as tested).
    The Apple tv is hooked directly into the modem with ethernet.
    We have tried about 6 different routers with apple TV and none of them make the Apple Tv perform without stuttering and buffering.  So we decided to use direct hook up.
    I have called Apple repetitively because when trying to watch a trailer/preview, the preview stops and the buffering starts.
    This will also happen when watching movies.
    Lowering TV resolution to 600x480 does not help either.
    Apple fail to tell me where their Itunes servers are located, so it's impossible to do a traceroute to see if there's a problem on the way.
    Desperate with this situation I opened a DSL account with Centurylink :same problem!!
    It seems that Apple should fix their Apple TV product before placing a product on the market that does not perform as stated.
    We took this a step further, and purchased a few Apple Tv's which we are setting up with different Internet providers to see what the results are.
    You may think I have nothing better to do, but I'm building a case against Apple and shall get to the bottom of this. There are no excuses for placing faulty products on the market.

  • Why are all videos taken on my Cannon Rebel EOS T31 all of a sudden blurry?

    I have a Cannon Rebel EOS T3i. I have had it for about 3 months. Everything was okay, but for the last month all the video I have tried to take come out blurry. It wasn't that way before. Does anyone have an idea of what I might have done, or why all the videos are blurry?  Thanks for any help you can give.

    Iriscat,
    Autofocus on DSLR's for film has been mostly a pipe dream until recently. The feature is there and it can work in some instances where very little movement is occurring but basically, the technologies of autofocus and DSLR video, for whatever reason, are newer in development than your camera (and mine) This simply means that you need to learn to manual focus. This is not too bad for a film maker, because he/she wants to get a great and very specific focus generally (in one situation - near, in another - far.) But if you're filming your granddaughter's birthday party or a football game, you're going to find it quite challenging. The technology is not really for that. Honestly, your salesperson should have informed you of this. Better autofocus is gotten out of camcorders. They bring everything into focus instead, and the depth of field is what a filmmaker would consider boring.
    I hope this helps. You can get your $$ out of a DSLR on ebay if you desire to move on.

  • Why do youtube videos start,freeze & then won't pause,play or anything,except maybe play a few secs.?

    i have vista 32-bit & as i type a youtube video that i tried to pause i can hear play a sec. or 2,but won't continuously play.this happens on all my browsers,ie,chrome,firefox,& all youtube videos.i've tried uninstalling & reinstall chrome,firefox & flashplayers,no good.this started after malwarebytes (thank them) unlocked my pc from reveton-fbi-ransomware virus!any solutions out there?Thanx in advance.can't watch videos anywhere damn!

    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:

  • HT3209 I rented a movie on Itunes and it downloaded. Now it will not play. When i go to videos and try to play it the whole page turns black.

    I rented a movie on Itunes and it downloaded but the movie will not play. When i go to videos to try to watch the video the page turns black

    Quit the videos app completely.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Try the videos app again.
    If that doesn't work, reboot the iPad. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If that fails, try this. Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of rhe movie in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.
    But remember, once you start to play the rental, the timer starts.

  • Why does my video keep stopping at all stages as i'm watching a video

    why does my video keeping stopping at all times

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.
