Why the video is slow and stutter on the viewer clip?

Why the video is slow and stutter when I drag the mouse on the cursor to check from left to right?
I just upgraded to imac 20" and I had never had this problem with my old mac. The old mac seemed to be smoother than this one.
The only difference was my 1 TB external hardrive is linkup using USB 2.0 this time round since I've not purchased the Firewire 800 yet. Does using USB 2.0 cause this problem?

I noticed something from my previous iMac. When I drag the cursor from left to right, there is no sound when I'm dragging. Thus, that makes me think that the absence of audio produce smoother flow. How do I disable the audio while I'm working on the viewer then?

Why are YouTube videos so slow to load?

Hi Gang,
I've been greatly enjoying the Pismo I totally revamped with help from JPL and Cornelius. It's now faster than my G4 12". But Youtube videos are painfully slow to load. If they finally do load, the motion is usually quite jerky and out of sync. Just tried three different videos on the Salon site and none of them would load. This is not the case with other videos (QuickTime or RealPlayer). Is this a hardware, software or site problem, and is there anything I can do about it? Thanks for any insight you can give.

GB:
I am able to watch streaming video on my Pismo, but I can't be doing much else on the computer. However, I don't do YouTube and I don't know how that will work. But I do watch news clips or streaming video from CNN, for example. I watch it the default size, and it is fine, with a little problem with video/sound synchronization. Streaming video works a lot better for me with Real Play, though. Almost perfect even with their max size. That is true even on my wife's Pismo with a regular 500 MHz processor and 640 MB of RAM.
I agree with Jon and jpl on the video card limitation. To the best of my knowledge it can not be upgraded.
Cheers
cornelius

Videos are SLOW to load

I just downloaded the most recent version of safari (beta 3) and videos posted on websites are still EXTREMELY slow to load. Are there any updates that would help make the videos load quicker or is it caused by limited space on the hard drive? Any comments/answers would be helpful. Thanks!

Were you able to confirm any suspicions the browser could be at fault
(or not) by trying to download the same video content through a different
browser with current proper plugins, and etc?
The speed of the internet connection is among prime things to confirm
and consider when awaiting slow internet content downloads. Also, all
system performance can be affected by insufficient hard drive freespace
or flex-space for the applications and for use as virtual memory.
The actual download speed of a file may vary through a combination of
several influences or conditions within and from without the computer.

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

Embedded video causes slow page load

Hi,
I recently noticed that any flash content webpage loads real slow in Firefox or Safari. It takes about 6 seconds for a webpage to load if there is a little YouTube window on it. In those 6 seconds the browser is unresponsive.
Is there anything I can do to speed this up?
Thanks

I have cleared my cache in Safari and Firefox - nothing changed.
I installed Flash 10.1 RC - no difference
I installed the Flash blocking addons - when I then click on the video window it takes the same amount as before to load (not surprising). But why is so slow to begin with when it comes to YouTube embedded content?
here is the website of our kids soccer club - it takes 8 seconds for the World Cup YouTube content to be available - playback is fine, but until it loads it takes 8 seconds - and for that time the browser is unresponsive (spinning wheel)
I have 256MB VRAM on the card (Radeon 9800 Pro) and otherwise 4GB RAM!
Thanks

Why is Gmail so slow to load in standard view, when all other websites load fine?

Youtube videos VERY slow to load

Has any one else out there had a problem with getting youtube videos to load. My desktop downloads youtube videos in Miliseconds, while the apple tv takes two minutes to download the same thing! We are all wired up, so no wireless problems. Podcasts and movies stream very quickly, just a problem with youtube. Does any one know if the videos are directly downloaded from youtube or do they go through apple servers of some type? I am flustered. Already returned one unit to the store for an exchange.
HELP!

I worked with fuji master on this issue and have resolved it, sort of... Fuji's original 160GB AppleTV exhibited the symptom he described on several different WAN connections, although all were Portland Comcast.
Surprisingly, every 160GB (shipped with take 2) unit we tried had the same symptom but the 40GB models operated perfectly (on the same LAN and WAN). The 40GB was running the same version of the take 2 firmware as the 160GBs and all had been restored prior to testing. I am at a loss to explain how this could be a hardware-specific issue with YouTube, but my best guess is that some incompatibility existed between 160GB AppleTVs and YouTube.
Today, we configured and tested a new 160GB AppleTV (a firmware update occurred since previous testing) on the same network and YouTube loaded and operated normally.

Itunes slow to load and frequently locks computer

why is itunes so slow to load and why does it lock up so much?

I was able to get my iTunes functional again after disabling a lot of my windows services -- use this thread for your reference:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292?viewlocale=en_US
I haven't pinpointed exactly which service(s) were causing the iTunes slowdown, as I haven't had time to test re-enabling all of them yet. But so far I've just disabled the services that I know I don't need anymore and iTunes has been running like a champ =)

Which security software (firewall) do you have?

My computer loads any folders with videos really slow.

When I open folders that have videos in them it loads them really slowly, but only the first time. Once it's loaded them once it's fine. I recently installed Perian, so I thought that might be the problem, but it's still there and I've uninstalled Perian. I've booted into safe mode several times to try to fix the problem, if there is one, but still nothing. Any ideas??

How large are the files and folders?
Building video thumbnails can take awhile, so its normal for it to be slow the first time you view them. After that the data is cached which is why its OK after the first time.
I rarely see much slowdown on my 2007 4-core Mac Pro, but I do have double your memory, which makes my filesystem and general performance better than yours in some cases.
Unless you are seeing grossly long times, I'd not worry about it.

Why is the SMS app so slow to load?

Is it just me or is the SMS app really slow to load?
7 seconds seems a lot to me.
How is it for u?
How can I improve the loading time?
Thank you

I don't know why Apple doesn't fix this problem or even acknowledge it. I have had this problem since 1.1.2. Upgrading through 1.1.3, 1.1.4 and on the 2.1 has not helped. My SMS loading time varies between 3 and 10 seconds. I maintain all my SMS messages deleted (which I should not have to do). Due to lack of support from Apple I purchased a Nokia phone for my son. At least basic phone features work like they should.

Why is TB re-syncing/re-load with GMail all messages each time I open TB? Slows down TB by much each time.

Why is TB re-syncing/re-load with GMail all messages each time I open TB?
It does slow down quite heavily. e.g. It takes almost 5 mins to just write a simple short email, since ''freezing'' at every 3-4 caracters.
All other programs on the computer work fine in the meantime, though. Including word processor. So it is really a TB issue.
Or is it a GMail issue, forcing download everytime a connection is created ?
I am on Win8.1 on an ASUS AiO.
Thanks

IMAP mail accounts see a remote view of the server.
You subscribe to see server Folders.
Headers are downloaded and when you select to view an email, the emails are downloaded to a temp cache to enable quicker access to those emails, but upon exit Thunderbird the temp cache is lost, so you cannot read emails if offline. These emails are not stored on your computer.
If you synchronise subscribed folders, then a copy of the folder is downloaded to Thunderbird Profile folder and stored in an mbox file. This means you can read them even if offline.
However, the folder is set up to synchronise with the server when changes occur, so that your copy and the folder on the server are updated to be the same.
I would recomend that you do not allow folders to get too big as it would take longer to synch.

Can you see an 'All Mail' folder?
This is gmails copy of all your emails, so it is gmail Archive of your emails.
This folder can get huge. As it only shows you what you already have in other folders, it also doubles the size of your Profile and can take a while to download. It is recommended that you do not subscribe to see this folder.

Why is photoshop elements 11 so slow to load and shut down

it takes me at least 4-5 minutes to open PSE 11 Organizer each time, and then probably 1-2 minutes to shut it down. Has anyone experienced the same problem or does anyone have a resolution to this. I'm on Windows 7.

I had already shut off everything in media analysis, including face
recognition.

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.
