Youtube takes forever to buffer on iphone 4s

I don't know why but youtube takes forever to buffer videos. I didn't have this problem before, it just appeared randomly. Is it because i've been using up the phone storage? I only have 1 gb left. Thanks

i know this may sound wierd but one thing you can do is hold the device in a different way. sometimes the way you hold your phone can block some wifi receptors and block a signal making it harder to buffer. if this does not work try to exit youtube in the multitasking feature. If this also does not work you can restart the device bu holding the power/sleep button and the home button until the device powers off and restarts itself.
Hope this helps!

Youtube Takes Forever to Buffer

Hey there,
Just picked up the new Apple TV - Youtube buffering takes forever.. it took about 10 minutes to buffer a 1 minute clip from youtube. Netflix streaming starts instantly, I have a solid 20mbps down connection, etc.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have heard some rumors that it may be linked to the Airport Extreme, although I am connected via ethernet.

Imac running slow - youtube takes forever to load

Hi, My computer is running really slowly and most notably when I try to watch youtube videos - they are taking forever to load
Suggestions ?

In Finder right click your HD (it's probably called iMac HD) in the left pane. Choose Get Info.
As to find out how much RAM it has click the Apple Symbol in the upper left corner of this screen and choose "About This Mac." To see how much Free RAM it has open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) then click the System Memory tab and in the lower left corner let us know how much:
Free
Wired

YouTube takes forever to load videos

What is going in here? Great connection, 10 feet from router, MacBook Pro loads videos fine. It literally takes 20 minutes to load a video that is a couple minutes long. Can anyone help me?

Hello,
I had this problem as well. When I first purchased my iPad, I realized that YouTube was loading videos extremely slow. It lasted for about 1-2 weeks, after that everything worked fine. From time to time, YouTube DOES load vides quite slow, but then I wait 1-2 days & the problem's gone.

Why don't videos don't play smoothly? They take forever to buffer

I'm running FireFox 11.o on Windows XP. I clean my history and cookies. I defrag. My add-ons and plug-ins are up to date. I've gone into about;config and played with the dom.ipc.plugins and changed them true/false each one. Why won't the videos I want to watch play smoothly? I use VLC media player and Windows media player and enabled and disabled each one to see if a video will play better on one or the other. No change on the players. Can you recommend anything else I can do to see why videos won't play smoothly?
Thanks in Advance.

try firefox in safe mode and see whether it is happening again

Takes forever to load YouTube or anything else. Network works fine on iPad and iPhone.

My new Apple TV takes forever to load up you tube or any content
Using wifi. My network is fine and all other devices have no issue
Loading same content. I have updated the latest software
and did not help.

Spent 1.5 hours with a Senior Apple Advisor. Apple practically turned my iMac inside out determining nothing is wrong. He said the key phrase to tell Verizon and earthlink is that the ping does not respond. Ports 110 & 587 do not respond.
1 hour with a Verizon rep who initiated a 3 way call with earthlink.
2 hours with an earthlink person who claims the only ports to use are the ones I have. I don't believe that.
Problem is still not solved.
At this point earthlink has opened a ticket and is supposedly looking into this. I do not have much hope of a response from them.
Does anyone have an alternative mail client to rec'd?

IPhone 3.0 download takes forever

I've been trying to download the new 3.0 upgrade for my IPhone but it takes forever to back up my files. The process is extremely slow and I get half way through it and then get a message stating that my phone disconnected. Can someone help me with this?

You are free to work with any released SDK.
Beta/unreleased SDKs are for review and use by committed developers so that Apple can control their exposure as they are prepared for the general public.
Paying the fee to register as a developer brings additional benefits, one of which is access to pre-release software. A recent pre-release of iTunes was part of this program as well, again, providing a controlled environment that brings not only a first-look, but associated risks common to pre-release products. It isn't hard to imagine a free-for-all scenario leading to issues that would sidetrack an otherwise organized process.
if i plan to sell it i pay them an additional 30% of my income!?
You are also of course free to establish your own mobile platform, OS, app store, sales, marketing, development, support and distribution network where you can keep 100% as you like...after expenses, of course, whatever those may be

Can't update iphone software...takes forever to backup. help!!

I have the original iphone 16gb and I can't update to the current software. My iphone connects just fine to Itunes. I hit the update software button and it downloads the software just fine, then it starts backing up the iphone and it takes HOURS..DAYS...then I have to quit the process because I need to take my cell phone with me! I have a white macbook and have had no problems with Itunes...I have the latest version of Itunes. What should I do to speed up the updating process? It has never taken this long before! I have a bunch of apps...about 5gb worth...should I erase those first? I tried erasing everything else and it doesn't speed up the process at all. HELP!! By the way, there is 10gb free space on my iphone right now...and it still takes forever!
Thanks so much! Need to update immediately because I am having serious problems with the phone. Help needed quick!

Nevermind...I just took all the apps and music off my iphone and it updated real quick. Pain in the butt but it worked.

IPhone Charging through computer takes forever

I have tried both ways of charging my iPhone, through the computer and through the wall plug.
Charging through my computer (Powerbook G4) takes forever and never reaches full charge, even when left over night.
When I plug it into the wall, it will reach full charge in a normal time
any ideas?

You do not specify which model of the G4-based PowerBook you are using, but models with USB 2 ports did not ship until September of 2003, when the PowerBook (12 inch G4 DVI), PowerBook G4 (15 inch FW800) and the PowerBook (17 inch 1.33 GHz) units were released.
If you have anything earlier, you have USB 1.1 ports, which are quite likely the cause of your battery recharge issues.

Just updated to iOS 6 for iPhone, and now Yahoo takes forever to load.

Help! I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and now my Yahoo mail either takes forever to load, or never loads at all. Both receiving and sending are sketchy and go at a snail's pace.
I've scoured the Internet and tried all the fixes - deleted account and added again (multiple times), restarted phone, added yahoo account as "other", logged in from a computer, turned off iCloud...
It's driving me bonkers... What am I missing? Yahoo mail still works fine on my iPad, which is running the older iOS.
Heeeeeelp!

iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is the thing to do

All CBS, Youtube & Xinmsn videos fail to play on Firefox 4.0 all day long. Once 12 am (Singapore Time), ALL videos start to play Perfectly. Even Headline News takes forever to download until midnight, such problem suddenly disappears. WHY?

'''My Fujitsu laptop is one-month old. Initially I use IE8 and had problem watching videos. Once, an Action Message appeared advising me my API Driver is not working and directed me to HP instead. Fujitsu advised me it's a malware and a scan of Malicious Software Removal Tool was executed, nothing was detected. Ive had Norton Internet Security on my laptop. I switched to Firefox 4.0. All videos - CBS, Youtube and Xinmsn videos fail to play during the day, between 1 pm till night (11 pm). The only time every of these videos start playing Perfectly is around Midnight 12 am. (Singapore Time). This happens every day and night. How is it that during the day and night, every site including Headline News takes forever to download (transferring data takes unusually long time) but around midnight, such problem instantly disappears (and I can download sites very fast)? Also, ALL videos malfunction all day long till night but miraculously return to perfect function around midnight. This is real weird. Can some kind soul help me with this please? ''"

i would suggest you backup and reformat the windows.
Previously i also encounter similar error you encountered found out is malware attack, some of the antivirus are not even able to detect them. There are alot of users posted online which you can google around.
i had tried remove the malware using those so-called malware removal but things gets worst. So finally i reformat the Windows and everything go back to normal.
Personal advice, don't click or install those unknown message prompted from website. No antivirus or malware protection software can prevent this if you are letting then to get in your system.
Cheers and hope i did help you in resolving your error.

I have two iPhone 4 at home, slow slow downloads. One of them I've tested WiFi at work, Same issue. e.g. Apps take forever to download over WiFi compared to a AT&T-3G connection.

I have only just got an iphone 4 which I immediately updated to ios7 so have nothing to compare it with. But it doesn't even see networks that come up clear on the macbook. Same thing for a colleague in the same spot. previously I had an android phone which picked up just fine.

My iPhone 4s keeps freezing up and takes forever to force it off...why??

My phone keeps freezing up and I have I force shut it down which takes forever to do....what could be wrong with it??

How exactly are you "forcing shut down?"
Try a restore in iTunes:
Plug in the iPhone to a computer with iTunes loaded on it, launch iTunes, locate the phone under DEVICES. Press Restore, and let it restore to factory settings. When it is done, you can:
Set Up as New iPhone
Restore from Backup
You want to try restoring from a backup first so you won't lose your data, but if the freezes continue you may have to set it up as new and then resync all of your purchased media.

IPhone takes forever to regain signal

I work in a building that is partially underground has no iPhone reception, which is fine and I accept that. Once I go outside however, I normally get 5 bars easily, or at least I SHOULD. Many times, I'll be fiddling with my iPhone in the building and I have "No Service" then while I'm still using it, I step outside, but it sticks with No Service and takes FOREVER to come back to 5 bars.
Is there a way to make the iPhone "search" for a signal manually so I don't have to restart the iPhone or anything? Is there a way to make the iPhone search for a signal more frequently when there's "No Service"?

My phone hasn't done that in a long time, but when it did I found two things that worked.
One is to turn on Airplane Mode, then turn it off. This is also faster than restarting the phone.
The other is a lot slower - full reboot, meaning hold power and Home until the Apple logo appears (ignoring the power off slider). But doing a full reboot about once a week is good preventive maintenance and may in part be why my phone doesn't do the No Service, long search thing any more.
