Why do online videos start and stop and what to do about it

why do online videos start and stop and what to do about it

It usually means a slow internet connection, or inadequate hardware or both.
It is not a 10.6 problem as such as 10.6 handles video streaming quite well.
In your post this tag seems incongruous in this 10.6 category.

Why does my video's always stop and start?

Hi Trisha,
You're welcome
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if videos play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart Internet Explorer.
If you still get the loading problem, run a check on the speed of your internet connection using a site like the one on the link below, in case this is what's causing the problem.

Why does iMovie project jerk and stop and start in preview?

I have been making iMovies with iMovieHD for years using photos with the Ken Burns effect.
Recently after a movie project gets more than a few minutes long with typical audio and transitions, I no longer can preview it without it jerking and stopping and starting.
Obviously this does not allow me to see what I am doing, how the music matches or doesn't match my photos.
I have tried emptying the iMovie trash and emptying my finder trash, no change.
I have made sure there is plenty of hard disk space on my internal drive, where iMovie and the movie file is located.
Any ideas?

Hi
a. Emptying the trash - something I alway avoid - no matter why.
b. Plenty of free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? > 25Gb after
project is captured and edited ?
c. Deleted iMovie pref file ?
d. Known trouble maker: Lot's of audio clips. eg > 50 gives a stuttering result
Mix down audio to one audio clip.
e. What kind of original material. 12-bit audio or recording in LP-mode (90min
on a 60min tape) GIVES problems + audio sync troubles.
f. .mpg4, .avi, .wmv and other ailient file formats also is problematic.
g. movie stored on an external USB/USB2 hard disk - often troublemaker.
I use FireWire AND ONLY: Mac OS Extended formatted -
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchande DOESN'T WORK

Every video or podcast stops and starts every second

Any help would be appreiciated, using Chrome, Windows XP Pro with SP3, Pentium 4 2.4GHz, with 2GB Ram, with Nvidia Gforce 5200 video card! Too old a system??

hi, all three are pretty much the same, and its not a buffering issue. I hav Verizon Fios and had a WUGNET speed test show download speed being 11.3 Mbps and upload of 1.24. It was possible the Html was slightly better but not by much.

That should be fine for system specs. My first guess would be network bandwidth issues. Does it seem like the video/audio buffers fast enough or does the buffer continue to run out when the item is played? Try these two links out, do either of them play better?

When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two

When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two.
It did it with my old iPhone 4 in last month or so, and it I hoped it would go once I updated to new iPhone 5. The problem has transferred to new phone too.
I can't sign in to iTunes account on iPhone. It takes the password then resets to baseline. No error message comes up. On the base computer (pc) it will allow me to sign up and buy songs, apps etc. I can then sync the phone and put them on it. It just won't let me buy direct from the .
As there are no error messages I am at a loss what to do. I have updated the payment details on my account, and my husband has an iPhone 4 and has no such problems. We share the same wifi. I have tried with 3G as well as wifi, with no luck.
I am pretty much out of ideas, and have tried searching forums but there is so much overlap between queries that I can't find a similar problem from someone else, but I am sure it exists!
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance
Sarah

I figured it out!
I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
Anyone in similar position:
Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
Hope that helps

Could be a hardware problem:
Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

Try this - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Start, restart, stop and status stored procedure - howto?

First:
- this and other otn forums are awesome!
- apex is neat
Second:
- I have O'Reilly books: "Oracle pl/sql programming" and "Mastering Oracle SQL"
- Also tried to search / google best practices around stopping 'hanging stored procedures' and creating logics for such happening
Challenge:
I would like to implement simple solution for starting, stopping, restarting and maybe even getting status of stored procedures. Sounds like unix runlevels but in "userspace" without the sys rights.
Finally I would like to have this functionality in apex-application where predefines stored procedures could be started, restarted, stopped and maybe even status could be retrieved.
start - this is simple, start - but maybe check if such stored procedure is already started ( so this start will fail)
stop - send signal to certain procedure(s) that now it/they should exit immediately
restart - actually stop+start
status - maybe via status table indicating e.g. records_processed/records_to_be_processed
Mostly I need this stop so what would be the best way to write "exit" for stored procedure? I would like to avoid the following approach:
SELECT sid, serial# , username, schemaname, osuser FROM gv$session;
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '<sid>,<serial#>' IMMEDIATE;

Thank you, very good references, but still I think my challenge persist on stop still because I try to do this without the rights to v$session etc. tables.
So what would be the best way to deliver stop-message to executing stored procedure. E.g.
- via table which is regularly checked by stored procedure (e.g. in loop it selects from the table)
/paavoI think for stopping such a procedure you have only two sensible possibilities.
First option is to kill the session. For this you or the logic that does the kill needs the appropriate rights to do it.
Second option would be to programm this behaviour. The procedure can listen to a kind of signal and if it gets that signal it is stopped. This signal can be a value in a parameter table, but it can also be a message in some pipe/advanced queue. However this means the procedure will stop only at certain defined points (whenever it checks for the stop signal).
Btw: You didn't mention what is the business case behind that technical request. Maybe you can elaborate a little on that too.

When using podcast i switch to radio-canada live and it start to stop and restart it and voice control start and stop by it self

When i listen music on my iphone 4 using podcast (training session workout) i switched to radio-canada live and after a while it start to stop and start radio-canada live and voice control stop and start by itself???

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

WHENEVER i SURF THE WEB AND PLAY ITUNES MUSIC, THE ITUNES MUSIC STICKS AND SKIPS AND STOPS AND STARTS. i HAVE BRAODBAND COnNECTION AND AN ADEQUATE MODEM

I am experiencing the same problem, not being able to access internet at the same time as streaming iTunes music through an Airport Express.
Our configuration consists ot; an iMac G5 and an AirPort Express connected to a cable modem.
This problem first occurred using iTunes 7.0, now updated to iTunes 7.0.1, along with OS X 10.4.8
I have followed the Apple troubleshooting guide - without success to this point. The internet can be accessed (although slower than usual). However when the AX is set, using the AirPort Admin Utility to provide an AX provided IP address to the computer, the internet disappears, but iTunes can play over the network via the AX station.
I am suspecting a damaged preference file, or something of that nature, but am not sure what file(s) to be searching for.
Any help here would be appreciated.
thanx
