Why do Hulu videos run great on a 2009 Macbook Pro, but suck on my 1-week-old Macbook?

I just bought a new Macbook pro.  I've installed the latest version of flash player, and streaming videos are jumpy and jerky.  It's subtle (my wife has a hard time noticing it), but it is there.  It's much more noticeable when I play the same video side-by-side on our old Macbook...
Meanwhile, our 2009 Macbook pro plays videos very well.  It's such a dinosaur that we can't even update the flash player or the web browsers anymore.
The new Macbook is running OSX 10.9.3 (Maverick, IIRC), and flash was installed yesterday (version 14.0.0.125).  The jerky video play happens in both Safari and Firefox.
The old Macbook is running OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard), and Flash 10.3.183.15
So, how can I make my new computer work "right?"

There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

  • Disappointed with my new Ipad.  Cannot get youtube videos to run.  Videos run great on my Dell and Acer A210 tablet.  What am I doing wrong on the Ipad?

    Cannot get my new IPad with Retina Display to run Youtube videos.  The IPad did run two videos but then it refused to run another video.  I have a Dell Inspiron and an Acer A210 Tablet that ran the same video I was trying to run on the IPad.  The Ipad just keeps trying to load the video, but never runs it.  Very disappointing since this is my first Apple product.  Any solutions to this problem?

    What app are you using for the YouTube videos on your iPad? If trying to view in Safari it is likely that the videos not running use Flash. This is quite common and the iPad will not run Flash.
    I use the Jasmine app for YouTube and have experienced no problems viewing videos.

  • IPhone 4s why is my video running slow?

    The video visual is very choppy whilst the audio is how it should be it is slightly annoying. I've tried to find the video setting but can't find them . Well not any that help anyway.

    Hi Rockstaprince,
    If you are having unusual flash behavior on your iPhone and you are unable to turn it off from Control Center, you may want to make sure your iPhone is fully backed up in iTunes, then try restoring it to factory settings and see if the issue persists prior to restoring your backup.

  • Why won't video taken on iPad2 sync to Macbook?

    Hi -
    I need to get a reply from someone who is using all apple devices becauser I understand the PC experience may be different.
    I want to get video I took with my iPad2 to my MacBook.  The videos are too big to email and they have not transferred via iCloud.
    I  sync'd my iPad2 with the Mac in the normal way but they did not come over (I had "include video" checked) with some photos.  The photos came over to the Macbook but not the videos.
    I even tried to transfer them using DropBox but because the video file is over 180MB - I wasn't allowed that transfer.  Even so - I shouldn't have to use any other anything to transfer files from one apple product to another so I'm not interested in those solutions.  I would prefer for it to "just work".
    If I knew the exact steps I could get it done in less than the 2+ hours I've already spent. 
    Is there a way to drag from one device to another?
    How do I get videos taken with the iPad2 to my MacBook??
    TIA
    J2

  • What do I need to transfer video and audio from my 2009 Macbook to my television?

    I want to watch a movie with my family tonight, but the DVD is broken. I was planning on renting the movie online and transferring the video and audio from my Macbook to the television. What cables will I need to accomplish this? Also, does anyone know, were I to use a Windows instead, would transferring the audio be simpler? (And what would I need to do that?)

    Try doing it without a cable!
    Use AirDrop, described here:

    UPDATE - Oh, sorry, I see the article points out the MacBook is too old for AirDrop.

  • .avi video clip audio not working in premiere pro but play is windows media player

    Hi all,
    Using .avi video files. They play fine in windows media player. In premiere pro, the video plays fine, but there is no audio. When moved to a sequence, it builds an audio track, but it is silent. Any help is appreciated.

    AVI is a wrapper, what is inside YOUR wrapper - Exactly what is INSIDE the video you are editing?

  • Why does the hard drive keep crashing on 2009 MacBook Pro?

    We are now on the third hard drive, the second in 5 months.  The problem started after I dropped book on it, but no repairmen have suggested that has anything to do with it.

    drop your books on it and you can crash your armature heads in the HD, ....HD are fragile.
    I assume the first one died of age.....second from the book drop.......and the third? 
    endlightend 
    Hard drives don't fail often, but they do occasionally
    They fail, and often, and new ones fail a LOT more than older ones (sounds silly, but logical)
    Hard Drive Warning (all makes and models)
    Ironically but logical, new hard drives are far more fragile than one that has been working for several months or a couple years. So beware in your thinking that a new hard drive translates into “extremely reliable”!
    Hard drives suffer from high rates of what has been termed "infant mortality". Essentially this means new drives are highly prone to failing in the first few months of usage. This is because of very minor manufacturing defects or HD platter balancing, or head and armature geometry being less than perfect; and this is not immediately obvious and can quickly manifest itself once the drive is put to work.
    Hard drives that survive the first few months of use without failing are likely to remain healthy for a number of years.
    Generally HD are highly prone to death or corruption for a few months, then work fine for a few years, then spike in mortality starting at 3-4 years and certainly should be considered end-of-life at 5-7+ years.
    The implication of this is that you should not trust a new hard drive completely (really never completely!) until it has been working perfectly for several months.
    Given the second law of thermodynamics, any and all current mfg. HD will, under perfect storage conditions tend themselves to depolarization and a point will be reached, even if the HD mechanism is perfect, that the ferromagnetic read/write surface of the platter inside the HD will entropy to the point of no return for data extraction. HD life varies, but barring mechanical failure, 3-8 years typically.

  • Nvidia 8800GT video card in the First Generation Mac Pro

    This message is a bit of advice if you install the new Nvidia 8800GT video card in the first generation Mac Pro. The advice is keep your old video card. The old video card will be needed if you ever need to reinstall the OS X operating system. This new card needs the video drivers (kernel extensions) that are in OS X leopard 10.5.2 or later. With this video card installed, both the OS X original installation disk that came with this computer and the OS X leopard upgrade disks will cause a kernel panic when booted up. This is because they do not contain the kernel extensions needed for this video card. There is a question. Does anyone know how to create and burn a reinstallation DVD with OS X leopard version 10.5.2 on it? This would help solve this reinstallation problem

    this is a advisory to whom it may concern
    here my latest reply from a apple product specialist how was very good and helpful but only
    give me this to my upgrade answer !
    i want to upgrade my graphic card to 8800 and run tiger on my 1st gen macpro
    here it goes:
    "This article indicates what cards are supported in what machines: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305346
    Your Mac Pro is the first generation, and did not have PCI-Express 2.0 slot like the current generation does have.
    Unfortunately, we don't foresee the release of any drivers for the 10.4 OS on this machine.
    In regards to the second issue, we also don't support two video cards in two slots, using a different one for eash OS, there is no supported way to do this."
    "Unfortunately, the latest version of the Mac Pro will not run Tiger, as it was manufactured after the release of Leopard, therefore the drivers for the machines hardware will not be available on Tiger."
    hope thats cleared some ones Q.
    kindly

  • Why would my video clips be running too fast when played on the monitor panel?

    I posted my problem earlier today, but re-reading it maybe I didn't explain myself well enough.
    My main question is: "why would my video clips be running too fast when played on the monitor panel ?".  This is occuring after I have selected my media from the Tasks Panel and placed them in correct order in the Timeline/Sceneline.  I knew something was wrong when I could see that the clips were not indicating their right length when viewed in the (expanded) timeline.  They were compressed into just a few seconds, whereas the clips should have been at least 5 minutes.  I ran the clips in the monitor and sure enough they ran too fast, with a lot of jerking movements.
    The 3 video clips I am trying to make into a HD PAL video were taken with my Nokia N8 mobile video camera. These are in mp4 format. Can this present a problem ?  Note that when I play these individual HD clips on my computer in (Windows Media Player) they run fine.
    After I placed the clips in my Project Panel (or before in the Organize Workspace), I have perforned no change or manipulation of the clips.  They are in their original state.
    Just too confirm that the clips did seem to be compressed, I burnt a DVD, the resultant video ran in a matter of seconds.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes, that is what the problem was.
    Although the video camera on my Nokia N8, mobile was capturing at 25fps,
    for some reason once transfered over to PrE9 (via file transfer), the clip was interpreted as 500fps.  Once in Interpret Footage I was able to change the fps to 25.
    Thanks for the help.

  • As of late i have been unable to run fwd email u tube videos my mac tells me i need adobe flash got it still neg = and now my bakn statement is in pdf and mac tells me i need adobe reader got still neg why can't i run these things on safari?

    Hi...
    For videos. Uninstall the current Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Quit then relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Try a video.
    All online bank statments are in PDF format.
    Go to  /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin  (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
    Now try a bank statement.

    Hi,
    AcidSearch is causing the problems for you (and would most likely have been the cause of the problems with Safari 3 as well):
    0x20eb000 - 0x20edfff net.culater.SIMBL 0.8.2 (8) /Library/InputManagers/SIMBL/SIMBL.bundle/Contents/MacOS/SIMBL
    0x2528000 - 0x255cfff com.pozytron.AcidSearch ??? (0.7b4) /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/AcidSearch.bundle/Contents/MacOS/AcidSearch
    Delete the 2 folders highlighted above and then retry Safari.
    Hope that helps.
