YouTube Excessively Slow

Over the past few weeks Youtube Videos have been excessively slow. I have a good cable connection to my Time Capsule. Every time I visit youtube the videos take an exceedingly long amount of time to download. Even for videos less than a minute long.
I can game on these connections although occasionally there are bits of connection/packet loss. So It's not a connection speed issue. Other websites are working great.
Why would this happen?

I've had some interesting problems with this Click-to-Flash thing. While the concept is wonderful, I noticed a very significant degradation in performance when I actually did click on Flash that I wanted to see. In doing some packet capture on my machine, I can see that in many cases I'm somehow getting two copies of the same feed simultaneously. Even when I'm not, the sluggishness can be and almost always is extreme. A simple 30-second video might now require five or more minutes to buffer up sufficiently over a 1.5 Mbps DSL line. I just upgraded to 0.4 RC1 and we'll see if things improve...

  • Adobe Media Encoder Excessively Slow After New Update

    Recently (since the last update it seems like) Media Encoder has been excessively slow for me. For example - I loaded 4 videos in the the queue from Premiere that were about 5-10 minutes each. These videos were shot on DSLR and was a one shot the whole time with RGB curves on them and intro/out graphics. The render settings that I had for them were: h.264, 1080, 24fps, 4mbps min 5mbps max, VBR One pass. I hit the play button for them when I left work at 7 that night and the next day at 9 in the morning (14 hours later) only one had succesfully exported and the other one was only 20% done. I go into Premiere though and I can export the videos just fine and at a time that makes sense for my computer.
    The computer that I have is an early macbook pro 2011 15 inch with 8gb of RAM, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, with 750gb harddrive (with 200gb free space).
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Media Encoder and it still takes forever. The most recent video that I got to export with it was a 40 second clip and at those same settings it took about 3 hours to export.
    What can I do to fix this problem?

    Wow!

  • Excessively slow speeds through airport??????

    i just got this macbook pro 2.16, and when i connect to my airport network, i get excessively slow speeds, slightly faster than dial up. i can run my old powerbook 1.0 simultaneously side by side (not extreme), and it runs normally. my service is advertised as 5.0 down, & 365 up. anyone know the deal?

    First and foremost. PLEASE CONTACT APPLE as well as post here. Insist that this be esculated to an engineer as tier 1 and tier two will do for you. This is the best way to make your case known to apple product support.
    Yes, I agree with you on your issue. I see the exact same thing in my system.log. I would persume that this is a harwardware issue.
    mDNSResponder: Repeated transitions for interface lo0 (127.0.0.1); delaying packets by 5 seconds
    mDNSResponder: Repeated transitions for interface en0 (10.1.1.43); delaying packets by 5 seconds
    mDNSResponder: Repeated transitions for interface en0 (10.1.1.43); delaying packets by 5 seconds
    mDNSResponder: Repeated transitions for interface en1 (FE80:0000:0000:0000:0214:51FF:FEED:41E5); delaying packets by 5 seconds
    I would hope that I am wrong with it being hardware.:-) I am also going to post the email I sent apple.
    Here is the email I sent. It sums up my problems.
    ---------BEGIN EMAIL-----------
    Thanks for taking the time to try and help me out. I feel this issue should be escalated to the engineering department as there are many things that are just unexplainable. Below are numbered items that I am having with my new Macbook. If you could, could you please attach this information to the case notes so the next person can review this if needed.
    1. Wireless is not working like it should. I can connect to any type of WEP encrypted network and all communications work. My problem is when I try to connect to a wireless network using PEAP or EAP-TLS. My work environment uses a EAP-TLS. Other powerbook G4 machines and windows, linux, you name it work fine. Mine however doesn't. What I am experiencing then taking a sniffer trace to it it shows the EAP-TLS request, then handshake, the negoation of the keys, then finally I get an EAP Success indicating successful authentication. That tells me my certificate is good and I should be able to obtain a network ip address. My network connection says it is connected after I see the EAP success with the sniffer. It shows in the Internet Connect that I am connected to TLS network and the timer increments/counts up. I can try an hard code an IP address, gateway, and dns with within the preferences but that does not allow me to talk/pig other hosts by ip addresses on my local subnet.
    2. My second and most important issue is my connection speeds are TERRIBLE. I looked on the discussion.apple.com and several other people are saying the same thing. Here is the interesting thing. Some people say that if you manually assign an DNS server into the TCP/IP preferences the speeds will work just fine. I must say that by doing this it worked at one point in time. This is not the case now. Another interesting thing that happens to me is at one point in time, when I would look at the file /etc/resolv.conf file, I could see my nameservers listed in there. When I am looking in there now, my resolv.conf file is empty so there has to be another file my DNS entries are being entered. I just don't know where. I don't know where or how name resolutions are working with that file being empty. I also thing there is something that is going on with INETD and that it expects a reverse DNS lookup on everything. It doesn't matter if you are telnetting to an IP address or trying to bring up a webpage, INETD trys to get a response back from the reverse dns query. I have noticed that in a Microsoft environment if you are using a windows DNS, most of the time if my macbook sends a reverse dns query while trying to telnet to an IP address, the windows DNS server never answers back. The non-response is what appears to make network use so slow. If I try to use a bind DNS solution, and point my DNS to a bind server, I get an answer back on a reverse lookup even if the bind server doesn't know the reverse information. With Microsoft, if the DNS can't answer a reverse lookup request, it simply doesn't answer.
    So with these two major issues, I would greatly appreciate it if you could forward this on. If an engineering needs to contact me via email, I can email snffer traces, etc. I just hope there is a resolution as this is a laptop I use soley for business and the way it is right now, it is hard for me to get anything done because both wired and wireless are not working as they should especially when I have other Mac's, windows, and Linux machines that are working with no problem.

  • YouTube extremely slow when accessed using WiFi

    I find that, in the last day or so, accessing YouTube has become painfully slow when using WiFi. It was working fine earlier in the week.
    EDGE connections have faster downloads but the quality is really poor.
    Anyone with similar problems? Any explanations as to what might be causing this?
    Thanks,
    Anil

    Bump to this, I am also experience the same issues as well with Youtube being slow on WiFi compared to the horrific version on EDGE. I would think this to be a Router issue, but I have yet to test it out by shutting down all other applications that access the router as well as other computers that use the router.

  • Youtube loads slow after Shockwave Flash 11.5 r502 update

    youtube loads slow after Shockwave Flash 11.5 r502 update, never had this problem before. the browser i am using is google chrome. everything is updated. i have a download speed monitor on, it shows the youtube videos downloads 200kb/s regardless the resolution and my internet is 1500kb/s. i thought it might be the monitor but i turn it off the videos still loads very slow. i dont know what to do.

    We apologize for the inconvenience.  We're aware of the issue, and working diligently to get it resolved.

  • Is it me or youtube being slow at times?

    I watch 360p when videos I can see good enough other times I do 1080P on youtube and I lag even on 360p so is just me that youtube is slow times or are other people getting slow at youtube sometimes to. I watch on wire since my laptop is somewhat broken even than same thing on my laptop sometimes like on the wired desktop.

    There seems to be some issue between youtube and Fios because it's fine on other computers of friends and family who have other services. And other than youtube, my connection is perfect, download speeds are great and other video site play smoothly. Disappointing because youtube is the main thing that I do online it was fine a few days ago before I switched from Comcast to Fios.

  • I have been experiencing excessively slow upload speeds.  like, what the malfunction.  does someone have an explanation for such?

    when uploading a movie either to theater or to share, i have been experiencing excessively slow upload speeds, as well as varying upload time. 
    -excessively slow speeds, such as a 1-minute video requiring more than 1-hour 44-minutes to upload.
    -varying upload speeds, as in the status circle will report an upload time of 1-hour, and moments later report an upload time of 4-hours.
    also, when selecting "iMovie" as an application, it requires an excessive amount of time simply to load and appear on the monitor.

    Hi Julio,
    We have removed the class-map for IPS and have done a clear local-host.
    We have also changed the duplex (from Auto to full) and speed (from Auto to 100Mbps) on the outside interface.
    it seemed the duplex we 've got was half when it was configured as Auto. We've asked our ISP to change in their side to full, but we've got half instead.
    We did an upload test after those actions, the speed we got is 300KBps, it should be 8Mbps (download and upload).
    when we send many upload at a same time, we can see from our monitoring tool that the bandwidth used is 8Mb.
    We wonder we cannot get high speed when uploading a single file, the max speed is 300KBps.
    Please, find below the output of
    sh int | inc error
            0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort
            0 output errors, 0 collisions, 1 interface resets
            0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort
            0 output errors, 0 collisions, 1 interface resets
            0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort

            0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort
            0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets
    the 2710 collisions is on the outside interface (i think it was before changing duplex)
    sh cpu
    CPU utilization for 5 seconds = 2%; 1 minute: 1%; 5 minutes: 1%
    when we plug a computer directly to the ISP device (IDU), the speed is high (about 650KBps).
    what would you suggest us to do? (sure, we will rate all the helpful posts )

  • Why is youtube so slow on my macbook pro?

    Why are youtube videos so slow on my macbook pro?

    Have you rebooted since this started? If not, try that first.

  • Why do GarageBand, iMovie, Photobooth, and Hulu and Youtube videos slow down my whole computer?

    I have a higher end 13" MacBook Pro running OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8 that I purchased in August of 2010. About a month ago, I was using iMovie to edit a project when all of a sudden it started responding extremely slowly. Like, near impossible to work on my project slow. The whole computer was lagging, the mouse was unresponsive and I could barely use the gestures on the trackpad to get to different programs. Eventually the pinwheel of death showed up, and I quit iMovie. As soon as it closed, everything returned to normal. I restarted the computer to see if that would help, but as soon as I opened iMovie again, the whole computer started lagging. I then noticed that the same problem occured when I used GarageBand, iPhoto, Skype, and when I watched Hulu or YouTube videos. With all of these programs/sites, everything is running fine beforehand, but when I open them up, chaos sets in. This problem doesn't occur when I use other intensive programs like Photoshop or Illustrator, nor while I'm browsing the web. The only web problems are when I watch a video. Any video. Other than that, web pages are as quick to load as ever, and I can use the computer normally for any other task. This is seriously a problem because I use iMovie and GarageBand for school a lot, and my grades depend on me being able to use these programs effectively. All of these problems have persisted with these apps since that first instance about a month ago, and no significant changes occurred to instigate them. In attempts to solve the situation, I have cleared my cache, freed up space on my drive (I have 56 free gigs out of 320), I have verified and repaired the disk permissions, and I have downloaded the Apple provided Trojan removal tool for Snow Leopard. This seemed to work for about 10 minutes, but the apps and videos quickly started lagging and slowing down my whole computer again. If anyone else has experienced anything like this, I would love to hear exactly what has happened to you and to see what you did to [try to] fix it. Thanks for reading all of this, I need all the help I can get right now. Also, I can't watch The Daily Show or The Colbert Report on Hulu anymore, and it's killing me! Thanks again.

    It's very difficult to say without knowing more about your system. There are a number of possibilities. First, your 13" lacks a discrete GPU, so the CPU is doing the work that a GPU would have done as far as decoding video streams, etc. Each video stream will consume considerable resources from the machine, and if you have multiple things running with video streams being decoded (for example, a browser with video Flash or cumbersome animation and iMovie running at the same time), then that may be a factor.
    Additionally, it could be that you are memory constrained. You didn't post a picture of the process list from activity monitor or the memory usage stats, but you probably want to look and see what the memory and CPU usage is and who's consuming what. Some applications are pretty inefficient. For example, if you have iPhoto open and have thousands of images, the indexed metadata and thumbnails are all stored in RAM. iMovie pulls in clip thumbnail sets - (and worse, it has to do on-the-fly transcoding video assets from some cameras that don't encode the video using the parameters it expects to make indexing frames easier). Again, this would show up as periodic spikes in CPU activity for the app.
    You seem to have plenty of disk space, that's not likely to be a problem.
    Check if Time Machine is running. Time Machine introduces a performance impact, but it's exacerbated by the presence of frequently changed large files (e.g., you don't want Time Machine backing up your video projects while you are working on them).
    Lastly, you may consider checking the console for error messages. This might reveal background processes that might be bogging down the system, or things like filesystem/disk errors. If there are errors in the filesystem, when you access certain portions of the disk, the OS and applications can slow down or lock-up as a result.

  • Youtube very slow...

    Since I went from normal dsl to a dry loop dsl a couple of weeks ago, youtube videos have been running very slow. It stops to buffer every 5 seconds... I did not change anything on my side. Any ideas what is going on? It is getting very annoying.

    I dont think its you, I'm pretty sure its youtube's servers, they seemed to have slowed down quite a bit these past few days, but I assure you that it is not your internet.

  • YouTube extremely slow on iPod Touch

    My iPod touch is 8GB version. I almost can't use Youtube at all because it takes at least 5 to 10 minutes to successfully load a 3-minute music video whereas in my PC, it only takes seconds. Can anyone help? I tried using it at various places and made sure the WiFi connection is perfect but still no luck.
    I saw people saying that they have same problem after upgrading it to the newest software version. I'm using the newest version, the paid one. I really don't know what's going on.

    I also have this problem. The YouTube application is so slow on my iPod touch it is more or less unusable. Viewing videos from the YouTube website on my Macbook Pro laptop is very fast on the same network however even very small (one or two minute) videos take up to 15 minutes to load on my iPod touch. Occasionally the video will stop loading about the third of the way through.
    Hopefully this can be fixed soon in an update as it really limits the usefulness of the YouTube functionality at the moment.
    Cheers,
    James

  • Youtube very slow, not only on safari but all other of my web browsers.HELP

    Over the past weeks youtube has been getting slower and slower, a few weeks ago it wouldn't even load youtube thumbnails, it's very confusing. My mac is almost a year old and has 4 gigabytes of ram. It is running MAc OS X 10.5 (whatever the most current version is) Any tips?

    Hi
    Follow the suggestions set forth in this recent post for upgrading to the latest version of Flash (10.0.12.36). When complete, restart Safari, then go to the Safari Menu and "empty cache". Then try the video linked in the aforementioned post.

  • Youtube is slow

    Youtube is very slow to buffer on my ipod touch 4 gen however my brother has a 3 gen and his is much faster we both use the same wifi so there is nothing wrong with the wifi or youtube. Any suggestions?

    You can always try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
