Why won't videos play on my new iPad 2 14gb? They either constantly buffer, stop and I have to press play again, play sound only etc.

Thanks .Ralph.  The problem is only on the iPad 2only.  I have an iPad 1 as well and it never had the problem.  The only videos that I have tried are you tube and the tutorials on apple.com.  I have absolutely no problem on either of my laptops or desktop PC's.  Only the iPad 2.    I am a new Apple user, so not very familiar yet with the product, but this is an absolute deal breaker for me.  With Apple's reputation I was not expecting any such problems and it is beyond my skill set to solve it.  Very frustrating.  Again, no problem with you tube videos.  I don't watch movies, so am not a Netflix member and haven't tried that yet, only you tube videos and apple.com tutorial videos.  I have to watch those on my laptop.  Again, I found a fix to the you tube problem.  It was a link to a site.  www.youtube/html5.  html5 video player trial that you click on and once done, the videos on the you tube app started working great.  They were doing the same thing as the tutorial videos prior to that.  No such luck with the other web videos, at least the ones that i have tried. Hope this is enough info and understandable. You might check out the html5 site.  I didn't thoroughly understand why, but it worked.  You may understand it better.  I am a proficient user, but far from an I.t. Pro.  I have read Many posts with similar problems, but no simple solutions and the ones I did try didn't work.  Speed tested well.  Channel is set to auto and always different than neighboring networks, usually channel 11.  Tried disabling QOS as suggested....no good.   I am completely stumped.   Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks very much for you time and helpful info.

    I cant receive emails on my new ipad. I checked with my carrier and I have the info entered correct?

    if it don't work on both wifi and 3g then likely it's the email account settings which are incorrect set
    and you should go over them 1 by 1 with the guide from the email provider as how to setup their mail service
    if it works over wifi but not 3g then likely your carrier blocks the port your mail provider require

  • Why won't my apps download on new ipad mini?

    My apps will not download on my new ipad mini?  They remain in the "waiting" stage for days.   have tried deleting and re-downloading one by one, but have not had any success.

    I was having the same problem and I tried the following and now everything is working fine:
    Reset Network Settings. Resetting your network settings is a fast, easy way to trouble shoot your WiFi connection issues on your iPad Mini, and also on your iPad and iPhone as well.  Resetting your network settings allows your device to flush out all cache information from your wireless network, DNS and nameserver settings, etc… basically it allows your device to start fresh on your wireless network.Here’s how to reset your network settings on your iPad Mini (iPhone and iPad as well).
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Tap “Settings” icon on your homepage > tap the “General” option > tap on “Reset” > then finally tap on “Reset Network Settings”. Your iPad will restart.
    Renew IP Address.
    Settings > Wifi > Tap the Blue Arrow (right-hand side) next to the network that you connect to
    Click Auto under HTTP Proxy
    Click Renew Lease
    Connect to your selected network
    Try Safari, then YouTube, then try downloading a free app.
    If you still do not have appropriate connectivity after this, take to your local Apple Store/Reseller and test, fix, or replace.

  • YouTube videos stop and I have to press play time and again. Is there a fix?

    When playing a YouTube video... It stops as if the pause was selected. I have to press play time and again to work my way through it. Is there a fix?

    This is usually caused by an internet connection that is not fast enough to keep up with the playing of the video. Once the video reaches the end of what has been download, it pauses. You have to tap and then tap play to start it up again. Once it pauses it's best to wait until more video has been uploaded before tapping play again.

  • Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time

    Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time this only occurs on the initial opening up of F/Fx after boot-up

    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

    Why won't my videos play? They start on the device that they are on, then stop and I get an error message...An error occured loading this content. This comes up on all of my computers. I reset the Apple TV to Factory Settings and still get the same message.

    Hi There,
    I had the same problem took me several hours to try and sort it out but nothing worked.
    I then went to the following apple link
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Follow everything to a T and you will get the use of your Itunes again.
    Hope this helps. Good luck (And remember to breath lol )

    Why won't quicktime player work? I own Mac Book Pro with Retina Display and connote get the quicktime player to open or play quicktime movies?

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

  • Why won't my Creaive Cloud find new updates for software?

    Why won't my Creaive Cloud find new updates for software? For example, I know Illustrator 17.1 has been released with cool new features; however, my creative cloud seems to be oblivious to this update and any other updates and I do not know how to make work properly again. Creative cloud hasn't prompted me to update any software for over a month and so it is likely missing plenty of updates; however, it is the Illustrator update I want most.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Lee

    Lee if you remove and reinstall Illustrator do the new updates get applied?  If not then please review your installation log files for the error which may be preventing the update from being applied.  You can find information on how to locate and interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.  Please feel free to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

  • HT203164 Why won't the song titles transfer with the music when I burn to disc and play on another device?

    Why won't the song titles transfer with the music whaen I burn to disc and play or copy to another program?

    Thank you, reducing the image size worked! I had used a low res file before, and with success decided to increase the resolution/size, and then it didn't work. the image did appear in small preview in the export panel, but wouldn't burn when all was said and done. the dimensions you gave worked fine. unfortunately, it makes the image a little bit fuzzy, but i dont think i can do anything about this. at least it burned it in there. thanks!
