Why does my video keep buffering?

I am trying to watch a video on PBS.org with my MacBook Pro but am unable to because it keeps buffering. What's odd is, I am able to watch the same video on on the same website with my iPhone 4 with no problem. Why is this? Both the phone and the computer are connected via the same  wifi network and both have strong signals. To my knowledge, everything on the computer (software, adobe flash) are up to date. This is a MacBook Pro I got a week ago. What is the problem, and how do I fix it?
Thank you to all who respond

You have a slow Internet connection.

  • 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 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.

    I don't do anything. I'm just reading a web page and a new tab will open with this video playing. Any idea what is going on here?

    When does the window open? What were you doing at the time?

  • Why do IPhone videos keep stopping?

    Why does iPhone video keep stopping?

    "iPhone video" - do you mean videos you made on the phone, videos you stream to the phone (i.e. Youtube, web video), or purchased videos?
    "Stopping" - do you mean pause and restart, or shut off completely?

  • What happened to the youtube app and why does my ipod keep crashing?

    I updated my ipod touch 4g to iOS 6.0 and what happened to the youtube app? And why does my ipod keep on crashing when ever I go to the app store? Now i can never buy anything!!! or watch youtube videos and I'm always on youtube!!!!!!!!

    As has been very well publicized in the news and all over the internet and forums, youtube is not part of ios 6.  Google it.
    You can get the app from the app store if you like.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual to stop the crashing?
    Restart, reset, restore.
