Why is it that on every Mac I've ever owned Quicktime cannot play a video without it lagging every 5 seconds???

Seriously, I've used Macs for 2 decades and if theres one persistent problem it's quicktime playback. Not matter how big or small the video, it can never play a video with consistent lagging. Same videos play flawlessly in VLC.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album?

    Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album? They are always songs that I had on my computer not imported from a cd using iTunes. I have verified that all the info is correct and matches the other songs in the album. Sometimes I can check the "compilation" box on all the songs in the album and that will put them in order and in the same listing. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.

    Good One CL.
    What I did in this case is select all the songs in the album and select Get Info and see if  Album Artist and Album and Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist and Sort Album are the same.

  • Cannot play flickr videos on firefox, works on other browsers. using mac 10.8.4 with latest versions of firefox and flash

    Firefox is my preferred browser but it drives me nuts that I cannot play flickr videos... have upgraded to latest version of firefox for Mac... have new Imac with 10.8.4... also upgraded to latest version of flash.. nothing I do seems to work... help

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

    has the video been completely downloaded onto your MacBook Pro when you start to play it? Or are you playing it while it downloads, AKA streaming it?

    Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them
    the songs are in the library

    I had the same problem when only about 5% of my 11,000 song collection on my Ipad would play after downloading OS 7.0.  I re synced my Ipad with ITunes on my MacBook selecting no music and all of the music was erased from the Ipad.  I then re-synched it selecting all music, all songs re-loaded, and all songs play just fine.

  • Why is it that only music purchased from iTunes ever shows up as missing on my hard drive?

    Over the years I have lost many songs from my iTunes library.  But what is most striking is that the only ones that have ever been missing are iTunes purchases.  None of the music that I have imported from my CDs has ever been deleted/erased from iTunes or my hard drive.  Only iTunes purchased content has EVER been erased.
    Is it that iTunes goes through your library and then deletes things that you paid for so that you will need to buy those songs again?  Yes.  And why is it that I can buy apps and download them over and over but not music?  Because it would make sense for them to be treated the same.  Making sense cannot happen.
    Yes, I've read the Terms and Conditions.  I know that there's only ONE music download allowed.  So why can I download multiple copies of other purchases?  And why don't they ever get removed from my hard drive?
    I'm just ranting and complaining from years of frustration and disappointment, that's all.

    Yes, I've read the Terms and Conditions.  I know that there's only ONE music download allowed.
    Josie,
    Apparently you read an old version of the Terms and Conditions, because that is no longer true.  Download your past music, TV, app, and book purchases again, at no additional cost.
    Yes, it includes music!

  • I just switched from an HP laptop to a MacAir. I am trying to view videos from within my power points. These were played on Adobe player and shockwave player. Is it safe to install that on a Mac? If not how can I play these?

    I just switched from an HP laptop to a MacAir laptop. I had previously developed a number of powerpoints in which i have video links that require adobe shockwave player. I can no longer play them on the MacAir. Is it safe to download the Adobe player? If not how can I play these videos now?

    Adobe players are safe.  Go to adobe.com and their site should detect the latest version for your hardware.

  • Keep getting a sign stating that I must have quicktime to play my videos when I already have quicktime downloaded. So why won't the videos play?

    I downloaded the newest version of the itunes, but I had to delete the old one and quicktime. So after I downloaded the new itunes I downloaded the Quicktime 7 so I can play my videos, but I get a message stating "This movie requires Quicktime, which is installed but failed to initialize. Uninstall quicktime and reinstall it." I've done it twice. I also get a message stating "itunes.exe has been to run in compatability mode for an older version of windows. For best results, turn off combatability mode for itunes before you open it." The system that I have is XP and it's on the list of programs that it functions with.

    Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

  • Why is it that some of my purchasing are located just fine and play when I click on them while others can't be located even though it says I have downloaded them to my computer?

    Not sure why some of my purchases work fine while others can't be located.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
