Why Is iPad So Slow At Loading Video Library?

When I try to load the iTunes shared video library it just seems to be so slow.  The when it does load everytime I slide the page up to look at other video its another wait to load process.  Is the iPad not able to cache it?  Is there a better way thru sort thru the movies like via Genres or at least a list version instead of loading the coverart for all?
I am just trying to see if there is anything I can do on my end to be able to via and sort the shared videos on itunes more proficiently.

Could be your connection. Video files are larger files and if your connection is slower it'll take longer for that video to buffer than at a faster connection

    Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

  • Why does my ipad keep saying "cannot load video"

    my ipad keeps freezing up when im watching a tv show ive purchased on itunes and then says "cannot load video". has anyone come across this?

    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    How much Available storage space do you have?

  • Why has my Ipad become slow when loading Keynote presentations?

    I use Keynote on Ipad as a presentation tool.  Recently, the Ipad has been slow to load a presentation (up to 3 seconds after selecting a particular presentation).  It also randomly updates presentations that haven't been used recently.  Any thoughts?

    Restore iPad to Factory Default; do not restore from backup. It may be the cause of the problem.

  • Itunes rental on ipad says "could not load video"

    I downloaded a SD video from itunes 2 days ago to watch on a flight. About 10 minutes in I received an error message "could not load video". I've closed out the app now, restarted my ipad & connected to wifi thinking I could reinstall it. Nothing has worked so far. Do I just need to request a refund for the rental at this point or is there a solution?

    Hello Winker32,

  • Slow Media Loading, Video iChat Fails, iTunes Choppy

    Internet sites are reluctant to load and I usually have to click the refresh button 3-4 times before a given webpage will load (sometimes not even entirely: question marks in place of pictures).
    Videos freeze up or just continually try to load but nothing ever happens.
    iTunes is visually choppy when I open it and slow to load and sometimes my fan runs without anything really happening.
    I've cleared my cache and that has had no effect. I've also checked my Activity Monitor and there are some minor red spikes with occasional medium sized ones. I don't see anything out of the ordinary running.
    My music folder is 23 GB.
    My disc space says:
    51.72 GB Utilized
    22.49 GB Space Free
    Basically everything is tremendously slow and I'm wondering what it could be, and more importantly: What should I do?
    Thanks

    I don't have a solution for you, but maybe some suggestions for the causes.
    If you're having problems loading a webpage, odds are it's the network and not your computer. Can other computers (friends, another you own, ipod) load web pages on that network without a hitch? If other computers can it's more likely a problem with how you setup the network than the computer being faulty.
    iTunes: What else are you running while the visualizer is being choppy? I'd check activity monitor regularly when it gets slow and see what's using the most under the CPU column.
    Is the video you're refering to that freezes up or is choppy streaming video from the web or video on your hard drive, or a DVD. If it's streaming video, see the first point i made. If its on your HD it could you have the wrong codecs installed or something of that nature. My QT is choppy with everything I play. WIthout really wanting to see what codecs I'm missing I've just downloaded VLC and run everything on that. No choppy anymore.
    I don't know much else about how things work. And sorry if I'm giving you dumb answers but it's hard to tell how much knowledge people have, so maybe my little is more than theirs. Hope that helped.

  • IPad airplay crashes with large video library

    Is anyone else having issues with airplay and the Video app on the iPad? I have 2 apple TV's and an iPhone 3gs where airplay via home sharing works great for video. On my iPad 2 however using the video app it crashes every time I try to browse in my TV shows. I will give you the fact that I have a huge library but it does work on my 3gs which is the lesser of all my devices.

    OK, I may have an idea here. I just updated the software on my Apple TV and now it can't read my library. It just says there are no music/movies.
    One thing that's a little fishy is that my library on my iMac doesn't have an "iTunes Music Library.xml" in the iTunes folder. From what I've read, this file is paramount to third party apps collecting information about the iTunes Library. My thoughts are that the Apple TV update changed the way it reads the Library and now requires the XML file instead of just the regular native file. This might be the reason that AirVideo is unable to read my playlists as well. I use AirVideo by pointing it to my media folders.
    So I thought I would just do the "File > Library > Export Library" to get a new XML file and rebuild my Library. It looks like it's working but then no file results.
    The only other option I can think of is to start from scratch again. I should mention, I do have a very large library of Movies and Music, almost 1TB and it is stored on an external drive. Sadly, my 100 playlists will have to be rebuilt manually
    Things that work:
    Remote App to Airport Express speakers
    Things that don't work:
    Apple TV reading playlists
    iPad reading Movie or Music playlists
    iPhone 3GS reading Music playlists (didn't try movies)
    AirVideo reading playlists

  • Slow to load the library for streaming - any NAS option that can help?

    Hi
    I've been using PC and recently got a MacBook. I have a NAS (QNAP) with 250Gb of music (as my iTunes library) and only want to use streaming and not store the music on my AppleTV. The problem is that every time I start up AppleTV and my Mac it takes quite long time to load the library before I can start playing music. Is there any solution to this? Is it possible to have either LAN cable or USB cable directly between my NAS and Apple TV and access the server from my MacBook this way? I had the same problem previously when using PC with the NAS connected directly to the PC and then streaming to the AppleTV.
    I'm not sure whether this problem is caused by lack of memory/performance on the AppleTV when you have a large library or whether it is a problem with the wireless connectivity. Or if it is something that I haven't set up properly.
    Thanks in advance

    "Is it possible to have either LAN cable or USB cable directly between my NAS and Apple TV and access the server from my MacBook this way?'
    I have my files on a TC but did have them on an external drive connected usb to either a TC or Extreme. I used ethernet from either router to ATV for a much faster connection than N wireless. You'll still have to wait a little bit but its worth it.

  • Why is my iPhone5 on 6.0.1 so slow on loading videos?

  • TS1398 my sons ipad 1 is not loading videos when he goes on to youtube through   his search engine (hes not on safari as he is on a parental restriction search engine) but has been able to for the last 12 months until the other day.

    My son has an ipad 1 and goes on to you tube through his search engine (which is not safari as i have put a parental restriction search engine on there for him) and up until a few days ago was working fine. now when ever he goes into youtube the video selections come up but when he presses a video to watch it doesn't load (comes up with the loading icon). However i wanted to see if this was a youtube problem so I unrestricted his youtube app and tried to get into youtube that way and it worked and the videos loaded. Does anybody know why it wouldn't work through his search engine now after working through it for so long?
    Any help would be great as i dont mind him going on youtube as long as innappropriate content is filtered (which is what his search engine did).
    Thankyou

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • FIrefox is slow to load, videos, pictures and scrolling.

    Firefox 3.6.3, videos anywhere on the net are slow and stop at seemingly random spots. Audio is heard but video is frozen, then suddenly catches up. Noticed on youtube mostly but on other sites as well. Pictures are slow and "jerky" to load. Even scrolling down a page the page stops, beach ball of death, and then jerky up to new position. Editing this post, just clicking to edit caused the beach ball and a delay before I could edit.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://youtube.com

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 255 to a more modest setting of 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • New Time Capsule, Fast internet but slow on loading video?

    Just install TC in ethernet connection and used the Wifi for my laptop, The problem is the slower loading of video from youtube or even @ the apple site's to my mac and even to my portables!?
    I didn't have this kind of problem even before installing the TC and tried reseting my safari thinking maybe it would make it load faster. Please help!

    OK I tried to separate the 5ghz and 2.4ghz names by going into wireless/wireless options and selecting the first checkbox.....didnt work. I tried using my Belkin router as a wireless access point. My iMac will connect to the Belkin and the TC but iPhone still wont connect to neither the Belkin nor the TC. I tried turning off NAT .....didnt work. I have pretty much tried every setting in Airport Utility and my iphone will not get internet. Would reverting to an old firmware version be worth a try? Is this safe to try?

  • HTML5 Captivate 6 iPad/Browser slow to load

    Hi all!
      I've got an issue with a Captivate 6 file. I've got about 15 slides, just backgrounds, a few images, and a few buttons (and one of Rod's trial version widgets for drag and drop interactions). I've uploaded it to my webspace to test, but the load times are abominable! even just between slides it's horrible - taking at least 30 seconds to a minute. I thought at first it was the fact that my images were large, but my professor suggested it is because of all of the javascript files that are loading (at least two of which I don't need - I don't have a TOC or the playbar in my presentation). I've tried removing two of the six js files that run but that killed the project all together. Is anyone else running into the same issue? It's the same when I test it on my iPad and both my prof and classmate were having the same issue. Any input would be great! thanks!
    Becky

    Hi Rod!
    Thanks for the heads up, it's good to know. I'd figured something was up when the slide wasn't working, but with my slowness issue compounding the problem I wasn't going to start there    I'm trying to use HTML5 since that's what the professor wants us to use. Hopefully I can integrate some kind of drag and drop solution within Captivate because all of my quizzing slides are drag and drop! but for now I'm just trying to fix my slow load times. I'm also trying to see if it could be my web server just to rule it out.
