Why does streaming video not work?

I have almost always had trouble streaming video....form Youtube and Netflix and other streams...and I don't know why! What needs to work better for streaming? Is a 3G hotspot connection not fast enough?? What do I need to do to make this seemingly simple operation run smooth?

3G is a painfully slow cellular connection. You would be much better off with a high speed internet connection. Cable or DSL depending on what may be offered in your area.

  • Why does the video not work?????????????????????????????????!

    I have an ipod video. I dl'd some cartoons. I converted them to the correct format. They transfer onto my iPod, however the video does not play. The sound plays and a small box to the left shows a frame of the cartoon. Alot like music, it looks like there is an album cover, except with its the frozen frame of the opening scene of the cartoon. SO pretty much the audio plays and the video doesnt. help me

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    On your iPod, go to Videos-->Video Settings-->TV Out-->Off (Or you can set it to Ask and then choose TV Off when it asks you before you play a video).
    Right now, your iPod has been told to send the signal out to a TV, so there is no need to display the video on the screen. By changing it to Off, the iPod knows you want to watch it on the iPod.
    Also, make sure you are accessing all videos through the Videos menu (and not Music).

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

  • Why Does Dynamic Link Not Work

    I purchased the CS5 Adobe Production Premium.  I have been working in Premiere and I have been learning about how to use Dynamic Link. I want to be able to alter clips in After Effects and bring them back and forth into Premiere.  When I go to File/ Adobe Dynamic Link/New After Effect Composition, I get this message:
    Adobe Dynamic Link Requires Adobe Production Premium.
    Since I own production premium, I do not know why I am getting this message.  I have reinstalled the CS5 Production Premium Software twice and it still gives me the same message.  What can I do to get Dynamic Link Working.

    Thank you for the tip.  Could you possibly tell me how to deactivate and
    then reactivate the suite.  I am using a Macbook Pro laptop running OS
    10.6.4.  I do not even know where to start.

    Deactivate the software (not uninstall), and then reactivate the suite.
    This often fixes this. You can opt to leave the serial number on the
    system; no need to clear it and re-enter it.

  • HT1338 why is the video not working with skype on this os

    why is the video not working with skype on this os

    Try this:
    Quit Skype.
    Click on the desktop so Finder is active. Hold the option key down and click on Go in the menu bar.
    In the drop down, select Library.
    Open the Library folder and scroll down to Preferences.
    In that folder, there is a file called com.skype.skype.plist. Trash that file.
    Now try Skype.

    Why does ichat video not connect?  The error message says we did not respond.

    Hi,
    iChat uses several port as they are called over the internet to do different things
    Text Chats and Video Chats are on different Ports.
    You probably don't have the port open.
    Use UPnP in your router if it has it.
