You Tube Videos Hanging/Buffering

Hi There, have been using Firefox for a while without any problems until this evening.
Haven't used Firefox for a few weeks, however this evening started watching some music videos and its buffering and hanging permanently a few minutes into the video?
Could anybody please tell me a way around this?
I have reset Firefox to no avail.
Thank you in advance.

I just started experiencing this same problem too. I open same video using Explorer 11 as my browser, and I have no problems. What is causing slowness and pausing of videos when I use Firefox 33.1?

Unable to view You Tube Videos - Constant Buffering

Unable to watch ANY videos on Samsung Galaxy S4 - 4G LTE. The phone is constantly Buffering after 5 or 10 seconds. Have rebooted. Removed battery. Closed (and uninstalled) apps. Anyone else have this issue?
PLEASE HELP...

I am seeing the same issue with YouTube video streaming on my Note 3 over 4G data network. I reduced the video quality to 360p and still see buffering happening every 5 seconds. I already tried Force Stop, Clear Data/Cache and reboot device. But that did not help.
When I switch to Wifi network, the same video plays just fine even at 1080p quality.
Please fix the issue with your network.
EDIT: This issue has been happening for last couple of months or so. It used to work just fine on 4G network even with 1080p earlier.

Using You Tube video clips question:

After importing several clips from You Tube (of varying quality) to incorporate into an editing project, the clips look okay and play full screen, in the "source" window, but when I put them in the timeline and play them in the "program" window, they are thumbnail size. Why does this happen? I tried converting...but still no luck.

The short answer here is, don't. (Assuming that if it was yours in the first place, you'd have the original and not have to use the upload.)
And Bill, you should know better than to help someone violate copyright law.
yeah, i beg to differ on this. i have 100s of videos on youtube i did back when it first started before i saved my finished projects... (from 2005-2008 i would just record, edit, post, delete, because it was just random junk of me hanging out with friends, or just v-logging about stuff i needed to blow steam about) so one of these days i'll have to go through and download them and burn them for archives. Never say never

Trouble playing You Tube video on iPad 2 - stops/starts - can't get through a single video. HELP.

I have the iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G but it's not currently on my Verizon plan - only connects via home wireless internet. I'm confused as to why I've never been able to successfully play/view any kind of video via the internet? The video loads and begins to play...but about 10 seconds in...it hangs up and then I have to play a cat and mouse game of pause/play to get it to 'load' a little bit more...and finally about 60 seconds worth I throw in the towel and head for the iPhone or my Mac. So what gives? My iPad does so much...even plays videos I TAKE. Why won't it play You Tube videos???!!! Is that Icon on my Home Screen just to taunt me and store the videos I'll never be able to view more than 10 seconds???
Please help guide me to the simple fix.

Try viewing youtube from the browser and going to youtube.com rather than using the YouTube app.
Also, try at different times of day and report back. Where I am, by 7pm the cable modem slows down considerably with all the Netflix viewing. I swear Comcast is throttling bandwidth for video streaming!

How do I download You Tube Videos to my iPhone 4

Fellow iPhonies,
I just purchased my first "smart " phone (iPhone4) and while I have mastered most of the functions, there are still
a few that I am having problems with. I would be most grateful if anyone could help me with the following:
1.) Copying You Tube Videos to my iPhone.
2.) Skyeping.
3.) Using voice control for other functions other then making phone calls.
I thank you in advance for whatever help you could give me concerning the above.
Sincerely, Stray
([email protected])

Use Spotlight to find it. It must be on your iPhone.
To access Spotlight, swipe down on your home screen, starting somewhere below the top of your screen. Type "App Store" into the resulting search bar.

Why is Firefox crashing when I am playing You Tube favorites playlists and other You Tube videos?

Lately within the last 2-3 weeks I have had a lot of crashes on my computer when I am running Firefox version 3.6.3 and trying to watch You Tube videos. It seems to only crash when I am on You Tube. It crashes even quicker when I am on Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. I have installed the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer recently. I never had trouble watching You Tube videos until recently. The You Tube site will open, I sign in, and then I go to my subscriptions or favorites and select a video. It will begin to play, get a minute or so in, and then I get the error message that it's crashed.
== Crash ID(s) ==
ID: 0fbb30ce-0fdd-4423-9aa3-3f8fe2100528 Signature: cabac_mb_skip

I am not sure I did this right. This is what I did: right-mouse clicked on the desktop, whent to properties, went to display properties, went to settings, clicked on advanced tab, and then clicked on troubleshooting tab. There I drug the hardware acceleration slider to the left to disable it, clicked ok twice as directed, restarted the computer and then I couldn't get firefox to open at all, but I went to internet explorer and got on you tube and tried to watch a video, but it crashed again.
So I don't think that worked. I couldn't figure out how to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin, but did it on the desktop instead. Are there different steps I need to take to accomplish this?
Thank you!

You-Tube Videos on Macbook Pro

Suddenly I have a problem when viewing You-Tube-Videos. They keep breaking up on my Macbook pro. I never had this problem before. My browser is Safari. Any suggestions?

The Flash plug-in failure on Lion, is a Safari issue that can be fixed with these steps:
My Flash Player plug-in would not play videos on YouTube (using Safari in Lion). It turned out that my Safari settings needed to be reset after the recent Lion 10.7.4 and Flash upgrades. I called Apple tech...
This is what we did to fix it:
1. Open Safari.
2. Go to top left menu, under "Safari" click on "Reset Safari."
3. UNCHECK the first two boxes, leave the next three checked, plus UNCHECK the next two, and keep the last three checked.
4. Hit "Reset"
5. After the reset finishes, Safari will relaunch and you can test Flash by going to YouTube to see that videos will now play.
Thanks Apple Care!

I have an ipad 2 and when connected to my wifi at home it will not download and play you tube videos quickly. Do I need to upgrade my connenction speed? What is the optimal speed?

I have an ipad2. When connected to my wifi at home it will not download you tube videos for easy viewing. Do I need to upgrade my connection speed? Would 3 Mbps be enought or do I need to go to 6 Mbps. I mainly use my ipad to view emails, browse the internet and watch you tube videos.
thanks - Michelle

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
There are a number of factors in the 'speed' equation. Any or all of them can affect the 'observed' speed of your connection.
1. Are you in a neighborhood full of WiFi routers (and thus, lots of WiFi interference)? I can 'see' at least 22 other WiFi routers from my living room!
2. What is the maximum connect speed and band and bandwidth available from your wireless router. Is it 802.11n or the older 802.11a/b/g? 300Mbits or 150Mbits? 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz or both? Does your router measure (QoS) Quality of Service and can it change 'channels' automatically?
3. What is the observed strength of your wireless connection? Are you getting at least 80% signal when connected? Are there other people in your family also using significant bandwidth at the same time (Netflix, streaming video, streaming audio, game systems)
4. What is the "advertised" speed of your current ISP connection?
5. What is the measured throughput of your current setup. Go to speedtest.net or use the free speedtest.net app available in the App Store. Try several times, from different locations in your home, and at different times of day and night.
I have AT&T DSL advertised at 3Mbit/sec down and 512Kbit/sec up. My Speedtest.net measured throughput is about 2.4 Mbit/sec downstream and upstream is about 0.4Mbit/sec. I'm using a Motorola Netopia 2210-2 DSL modem. I have no problem viewing YouTube videos and other mobile video content on the iPad 2. I'm connected wirelessly to a D-Link DIR-655 Gigabit router rated at 150Mbps at 2.4Ghz (only) with 802.11 b/g/n enabled. The interior of my home is within a range of 30-50 feet from the router and no more than 1 wall. It is a single level concrete slab foundation of about 1500 sq. ft. with cathedral ceilings. I have successfully streamed ESPN3.com on my MacBook at the same time my son was streaming another ESPN3.com game on his MacBook Pro. I've streamed YouTube videos while my son was watching a NetFlix movie on his Wii game system. He's also successfully used Skype for extended 'teleconferences.' None of my devices are connected to HDMI on a large screen TV. 95% of the time, I can do iChat video without any signal breakup to my son (who is at a college with a Gigabit (1000Mbit) wired connection!). 5% of the time the connection drops. We haven't tried FaceTime (designed for mobile connections to be much less bandwidth-intensive, from what I understand) simply because we both have iChat on our computers.
So for me, a 3Mbit DSL connection is absolutely adequate, given all the other parameters mentioned. As the car manufacturers say, "Your mileage may vary."

You Tube videos no longer work after Flash Player upgrade

I am running Win XP 2002 with SP3 and Firefox 3.6.15. I just upgraded flash player and now the You Tube videos no longer display. The You Tube sound works. IE has not be affected and I can see the You Tube videos. Firefox does display videos from Netflix and news sites but not You Tube. Your company wants $39.00 to solve a problem that is the result of your efforts, not mine. I think that is wrong. So what do I do so I can resume using Firefox to view You Tube videos?

To eidnolb/anyone else who can help?
I am having a great deal of issues trying to sort out the flash player. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling the flash player, however I still get the same messages on sites such as youtube, bbc that I do not have the correct version installed and to install version 10.
I notice that you have mentioned to right click the flash symbol and then on to settings on the link page that you provided, unfortunately, all i can see is a plain box with a cross in the top left hand corner, and when i right click, there is no Settings option. i have run malware and other sytem scans and have removed any issues that there might have been, all still to no avail.
Any further help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Monitor won't enter power save after playing You Tube videos...

Hi
An issue has developed on my system in the last couple of months for which, after having done a lot of research and testing, a solution has not been found. After playing a video in You Tube, my monitor won't go into power save mode after the prescribed time. It tries to go off for a second and the screen goes blank but then comes straight on again. This happens after playing the You Tube videos in Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. I am running Windows XP Professional and I have the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer installed, the latest graphics card drivers, the latest version of direct x 9.0c.
To clear this error, I have to go into my XP power schemes settings and change it to another power scheme and then change it back to my default power scheme. However, as soon as I play another you tube video the same problem re-occurs.
I have tried turning off hardware acceleration but this makes no difference. My graphics card is a Gigabyte gv-nx86t512h: http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2604#ov
This never used to happen until recently. It seems that there is something with the Flashplayer that is not compatible with Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer etc.
Any ideas as to what may be causing this and what can be done to overcome it would be greatly appreciated as it is a real nuisance.
Many thanks.
D

thanks for your suggestions.
i found the solution/workaround from somone else on the adobe forums:
Go to control panel, display, screen saver, choose a random screen saver, set a long time (i.e. 60 min, but always longer than your monitor shut off time), then select no screen saver, and save! Simple as that…

You tube video is not dowloading in 3gp formet

You can try basic steps like these in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and only cookies from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

NOW ASHA 201 CAN STREAM YOU TUBE VIDEO

Attention please..
Guys there's many post in our discussion board about the question of Asha 201's "You Tube" video streaming. And the only one answer was Asha 201 can't stream video.
But now it is wrong. You can "Watch Video" of You Tube in your Asha 201 phone by "YouTubeSearch" app.
Just go to Nokia Ovi Store --- Type "YoutubeSearch" in the search box --- and download it.
It is a very small app, so download if really want to watch video of You tube.

Did you check the home page setting?
*Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: Home page
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
You can also check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

How to embed a You Tube video into Keynote slide?

Hi there,
I am wanting to go further than simply making a hyperlink.
How can I embed a you tube video in the slide?
I am going to save as powerpoint for presentation on PC so hoping it will still work as well.
P.S This question has been asked previously but got no replies!!
If anyone has an idea....your knowledge is much appreciated

Any reason you don't download the video and just place it in your presentation?
