Youtube keeps buffering!

I'm having a problem with youtube. Every time I watch anything on YT it has to buffer every few seconds, which makes life very uncomfortable when trying to watch videos. I never had this problem until recently. Anybody have any ideas about what my problem might be? Thanks in advance!

Slow internet connection.
Many users trying to view the same clip.
Need to update Adobe Flash Player.
Many users in your ISP area online.
any or some or all of the above.

    It is probably buffering. Wait a little while after it loads before you play it.

  • Why does my video keep buffering?

    I am trying to watch a video on PBS.org with my MacBook Pro but am unable to because it keeps buffering. What's odd is, I am able to watch the same video on on the same website with my iPhone 4 with no problem. Why is this? Both the phone and the computer are connected via the same  wifi network and both have strong signals. To my knowledge, everything on the computer (software, adobe flash) are up to date. This is a MacBook Pro I got a week ago. What is the problem, and how do I fix it?
    Thank you to all who respond

    You have a slow Internet connection.

  • Why does all videos keep buffering and not play

    Why do videos keep buffering and play when I select them?

    I am in Florida, and  have a comcast business account and get download speeds of 22mbps (as tested).
    The Apple tv is hooked directly into the modem with ethernet.
    We have tried about 6 different routers with apple TV and none of them make the Apple Tv perform without stuttering and buffering.  So we decided to use direct hook up.
    I have called Apple repetitively because when trying to watch a trailer/preview, the preview stops and the buffering starts.
    This will also happen when watching movies.
    Lowering TV resolution to 600x480 does not help either.
    Apple fail to tell me where their Itunes servers are located, so it's impossible to do a traceroute to see if there's a problem on the way.
    Desperate with this situation I opened a DSL account with Centurylink :same problem!!
    It seems that Apple should fix their Apple TV product before placing a product on the market that does not perform as stated.
    We took this a step further, and purchased a few Apple Tv's which we are setting up with different Internet providers to see what the results are.
    You may think I have nothing better to do, but I'm building a case against Apple and shall get to the bottom of this. There are no excuses for placing faulty products on the market.

  • Video keeps buffering

    Hi I am absolutely going out of my mind and I am hoping someone can assist. I am a frequent visitor to "The Food Network" site and I watch the videos daily. In the last few days the video keeps buffering and is stuck in that mode. I have downloaded adobe flash and shockwave as they suggested from their FAQ section but it still is stuck and continues to say buffering. I really would appreciate any assistance. I am definitely a beginner on MAC and really have limited knowledge in any area.

    I also am having this problem. It's driving me crazy as I love watching the video's. I e-mailed through the Food Network help team today to see if they could provide any info. I also had another friend try from her mac. Same problem.
    Soooo frustating!!

  • Youtube style buffering

    Is there any way to make YouTube style buffering, like when I press pause - player continues buffering till end?
    But when I just open the video file - it doesn't wait till full buffer and starts playing.

    I think I understand what you're saying.  Sounds like you want to start with a very small buffer (so that the video starts immediately), and grow the buffer over time.  What you could do is start with the default bufferTime value (which is 0.1, I believe), and then adjust the bufferTime value as the buffer fills out.  You could do this based on how much data is in your buffer (i.e. the bufferLength property), or just slowly increase bufferTime as the video plays.  Here's some sample code (caveat: I haven't run this) showing how you might do the latter:
    var timer:Timer = new Timer(3000);
    timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
    timer.start();
    function onTimer(event:TimerEvent):void
         // Only grow the buffer when we're not buffering.
         if (mediaPlayer.bufferable && !mediaPlayer.buffering)
              mediaPlayer.bufferTime += 1.0;
    Every 3 seconds, the timer will fire, and the event listener will check the buffer state.  If the video isn't buffering, then it will increment the bufferTime by one.  A more advanced version of this might check MediaPlayer.bufferLength to see whether an increase of bufferTime is safe, or whether it's likely to result in the need to buffer.
    One thing I should point out is that the MediaPlayer.bufferTime and MediaPlayer.bufferLength properties refer to the memory buffer, not the disk buffer.  With progressive video, the download of the video file will proceed (based on your bandwidth) regardless of these properties, and there's not much you can do to control this.
    Hope this helps,
    Brian

  • Youtube no buffering

    Hi there, got  problem with youtube, no buffering  on  O2,  from WI-FI working good???? 

    I also found it was Ad Block Plus. I'd blocked an embedded Youtube video from another page which subsequently blocked all Youtube videos.
    I disabled Ad blocking rule - ||s.ytimg.com/yt/swfbin/*
    Youtube now plays videos again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Netflix keeps buffering on my tv but not my ipad

    Netflix keeps buffering when I use my imac but not ipad. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix the problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You'll need to wait until Netflix is enabled for the Apple TV in your location, I've heard that it may be the end of the year.

  • HT204266 Youtube keeps stopping ?

    YouTube videos keep stopping

    It could be buffering due to a slow connection. Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
