Youtube vid on aTv slow to load, but fast on PC

Hi, I have a 384kb/s ADSL connection. On my aTv I selected a vid on youtube, then I had to wait about 5 minutes for the vid to start showing. During this time the vid is obviously being buffered. After I watched the vid I marked it as a favorite. I then whent to my PC, logged into youtube, went to my favorites, selected the vid and it started showing immediately while buffering.
What I cant understand is, why does it take so long to start on the aTv, when the aTv and my PC are both on the same ADSL connection.

Maybe the web one is 320 resolution and flash, but the AppleTV one is higher resolution and in 264 format (meaning a bigger file size)?
Also, the AppleTV is probably hitting a different server than when accessed through the web.
Just a thought.

Youtube video 720hd 1080hd plays and loads but screen stops at beginning

Recently firefox3.6 stops playing youtube 720 or higher the video loads and starts to play but picture freezes audio continues........IE plays youtubeHD fine , java up to date etc

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems | Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems.]]

Why is siri slow an 4g but fast on wifi

Hi, I have a 4s I need to now why is siri not fast on 4g but great on wifi, if there is a soultion please help me, thanks.

Well, Wi-Fi speeds are generally going to be faster than any of the "4G" networks that the iPhone can currently connect to. I use quotes, because some would debate calling HSPA+ a 4G network, due to its relatively slower speeds.
So, Faster Data = Faster Siri == Wi-Fi > "4G"

Why is Firefox slow on Wireless but fast on Wired?

I have an HP Laptop 6730b which was given to me from my company. When I am at work, and connected to our LAN by an Ethernet Cable, Firefox runs perfectly fine and starts up super fast.
Then when I come home and turn on the Wireless on the laptop, Firefox takes like 20 seconds to startup and 20 seconds on every click. Whether clicking on a link of the same website or clicking on a favorite in my favorite tab, it takes 20 seconds to "Think" first then it loads quickly. This "thinking" part is what's killing me and it ONLY HAPPENS ON WIRELESS!!!

Actually, here is exactly my problem: I bring my work laptop home with me. I connect to my wireless at home and my internet works just fine. Through Internet Explorer 6.0 that is.
But with Firefox, its super slow. Takes 20 seconds to open, and 20 seconds on any link or favorite I click on.
And here is the confusing part: the problem goes away when I log into my company's network through the VPN client. Once logged in there, Firefox is back to normal and fast again.
Only when I'm not on VPN at home, does Firefox give me this problem. I have Firefox on my personal computer at home and it goes fast, so why does it give me a problem here on my work computer. Heck even IE 6.0 works normal on my wireless. It's just mind boggling. I would normally install Safari but my company won't allow it at this time.

Help needed:MBP net connection slow on OSX but fast on Vista...

Ok..I've searched these forums for a while, seen lots of posts taking about people having problems with their airport card, routers and the like..but I haven't seen anyone having quite the same problem as me. My 17" 2.33Ghz C2D is linked to my 1Mb ADSL internet connection via an Aztech DSL600EW modem router.The problem is that the connection speed is really slow when I'm running the machine on OSX. I know it's an OSX thing cos the same machine,connected to the same router and running Windows Vista via Bootcamp will connect to the net ALOT faster. For example, if I'm viewing videos on youtube with OSX, I have to wait every few seconds for the video to buffer, but on Vista, the buffering is way ahead of the video. Another example would be downloading files...say from rapidshare. The typical download speed I get on OSX would be around 5-10Kbps, but with Vista, I get at least 25Kbps.
I'm quite new to OSX, and still trying to learn my way around the operating system. It seems such a pity for a really great machine with a really great operating system to be let down by slow internet connection. I hope someone out there will be able to help me sort this out. Thanks in advance.

Great, happy that it "seems to speed up things ..." Why not run the SpeedTest and "know?"
I use IPNetTuner ($30, free 21 day trial).
http://www.sustworks.com/site/prodiptxoverview.html
"*Why is it Sometimes Necessary To Tune TCP/IP*?
TCP/IP is not controlled by any manufacturer and is designed to work on almost any kind of underlying network with widely varying characteristics.
To meet this challenge, the protocol designers made TCP adaptive. TCP is self monitoring and optimizes its own behavior to match the network environment.
*Why can't somebody just write a utility that analyzes my network and automatically selects the optimum settings?* Such a tool would be both useful and popular. The answer is they already have, it's called TCP/IP, but sometimes it needs a little help.
In most cases, TCP works remarkably well all by itself. Tuning is needed in those cases where TCP doesn't quite get it right because the the network behavior is outside the expected range. Typical problems include:
Asymmetric connections that are much faster downstream than upstream.
High performance connections with relatively long latency ..."

Gui application slow with JWS but fast without

I've created and generated a GUI application into a jar file. Starting the application via
the java web start gives me a very poor performance. However starting the GUI
application by double clicking on the downloaded jar file works very smoothly and fast.
I don't want to lose the JWS options of automatic downloads of updated applications etc.,
any ideas of how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

I saw that suggestion when I did a search on problems like this.
It used to go fast, but for some unknown reason, it slowed down w/ CPU maxed at 100% a few weeks ago. The user swears nothing changed.
As for 1.4.1RC1, all I can tell you is I installed the english JRE, then tried the international JRE, then the international SDK for 1.4.1RC1 for Windows. I even uninstalled JRE 1.3.1_04 before that and also uninstalled before each install. In none of the installs did Java Web Start get installed on the desktop. I did a File Find using Windows for "javaws.exe" and it was not on any local drive. It's almost as if the JWS installer was not run automatically during the install process because I didn't see it pop up.
There are no disk space issues. This user is running Win2K and had 18GB (yes, gigabytes) free on his laptop.

Internet slow on mac but fast on windows

Hello,
I recently bought this mac book pro...from Amazon last week.
It has the Lion OS.
I have a Belkin N Wireless router at home and comcast Internet.
I have a couple of windows lapstops at home (Lenovo) and now have this new Mac.
The internet on the mac seems to be teribbly slow compared to the Windows PC ?
I enter the url and then the blue background progress bar gets stuck at around maybe 10 to 20% and then not forward movement ?
speedtest.net told me that I have to update my flash playwer (SW something)...which I did and then
speedtest.net gives me 25+_ mbps speed results but browsing mostly is extrmely painful....
after this the internet also seems to work ok, so was it the flash ? (not sure why that would be need for all sites or atleast most of the sites?)
I had instaled this flash last week also and then today when I updated my MAC with the apple updates...looks like it lost it again ?
not sure if the internet will be slow again tomorrow.... -:(
Any ideas please ?
Also, every time I have boot the machine or bring it back from sleep I have to go to network diagnostics and get the internet back ?
no clue what is going on....
Any thoughts would be much appreciated !!
Regards,
Naresh

The information you're giving me is ambiguous, so I can't be sure that I'm giving you the right information either. However, it seems at least possible that there was an improvement when you logged in as guest, and no improvement when you booted in safe mode and logged in as yourself. I'll assume that's the case.
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now. If you skip this step, no one but you will be responsible for the consequences.
Quit Safari if it’s running.
Step 1
Select /Applications/Safari in the Finder and open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in that window labeled “Open in 32-bit mode.” If that box is checked, uncheck it. Close the window.
Hold down the option key and select Go > Library from the Finder menu bar (Lion) or open the Library subfolder of your home folder (pre-Lion). Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Finder window open. Try Safari again.
Step 2
If it still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder, and move the following file to the Desktop:
Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Then delete the following items (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Cookies/Cookies.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. Select File > Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the old bookmarks file.
Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
If you don’t like the results of step 2, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place. You don’t need to restore the files you deleted in step 1.

Adobe Reader XI 11 slow in browser but fast in Reader..

We are required to use IE 8, within IE we have an intranet which references PDF files.
If I open the PDF file from the network \\fqdn\share\xyz.pdf it works and is very fast (in PDF Viewer)
If I open the same pdf, from the same path inside of IE 8, it opens but then freezes for 6-25 sec.
I cant change browsers, I cant change versions or readers.
Any idea how to resolve?
My first thought was to have it open in the reader vs the browser, but the checkmark to disable opening in browser does not exist. Disabling the plugin also did not work.
Environment
Server 2003 R2
IE 8
Reader 11

Fixed my own issue.
Do the following steps to disable Adobe Reader browser plug-in in IE8:
1. Launch IE8
2. Click on Tools menu > Manage Add-ons
3. Select the "Toolbars and Extensions" under "Add-on Types"
4. Select the "Run without permission" from the drop-down menu under "Show"
5. Select the "Adobe PDF Reader"
6. Click on the "Disable" button
7. Click on "Close" button to dismiss the "View and Manage your Internet Explorer add-ons"
Fixed my issue.

Pacman slow in Arch, but fast in Ubuntu

Hello
I searched among Pacman related topics on this forum, but I didn't find anything related to problem I have. It takes Pacman very long time to download many small files. Bandwidth isn't the case, but the time it takes Pacman to start downloading next package. My average ping to http://mir.archlinux.fr is about 70ms. When Pacman completes downloading packageN there's a few second lag till it will start downloading packageN+1. There's no such lag when I run Arch Linux in Ubuntu under KVM and using the same mirror.
PS. I have ipv6 disabled.

Airdisk - SLOW read speed, but FAST write speed with Leopard 10.5.1?

I've been complaining for a while about my random problems with reading files from airdisk. My solution has always been to relaunch finder and re-mount the airdisk when it slows down.
I just noticed the speed cut down to and when looking at the activity monitor, it's fluctuating up and down and never seems to go past 1.5 to 2 MB/s.
HOWEVER, what I did just notice is that my write speed is consistently 3-4 MB/s with no fluctuation at all. Interference is not an issue, as I'm on N-only mode and in 5GHZ.
Is there anything I can do aside from waiting until 10.5.2? This does this issue in every AEBSn firmware. Thanks.

I experience the same problem (slow read: 2,8 MB/s, fast write: 6,3 MB/s) with my airdisk over a LAN-connection with 10.5.2. I atteched the USB-drive directly to my iMac and then it's the other way around: fast write, slow read (although considerably higher and normal throughtputs so drive is OK).
Anyone having some suggestions? The airdisk is formatted as HFS+ (GUID) with journalling on, Airport firmware 7.3.1 and the most recent updates installed.

Why are YouTube videos so slow to load?

Hi Gang,
I've been greatly enjoying the Pismo I totally revamped with help from JPL and Cornelius. It's now faster than my G4 12". But Youtube videos are painfully slow to load. If they finally do load, the motion is usually quite jerky and out of sync. Just tried three different videos on the Salon site and none of them would load. This is not the case with other videos (QuickTime or RealPlayer). Is this a hardware, software or site problem, and is there anything I can do about it? Thanks for any insight you can give.

GB:
I am able to watch streaming video on my Pismo, but I can't be doing much else on the computer. However, I don't do YouTube and I don't know how that will work. But I do watch news clips or streaming video from CNN, for example. I watch it the default size, and it is fine, with a little problem with video/sound synchronization. Streaming video works a lot better for me with Real Play, though. Almost perfect even with their max size. That is true even on my wife's Pismo with a regular 500 MHz processor and 640 MB of RAM.
I agree with Jon and jpl on the video card limitation. To the best of my knowledge it can not be upgraded.
Cheers
cornelius

Firefox for Mac is extremely slow to load YouTube videos

Every time I go to watch a YouTube video, it takes forever for the video to begin playing. When it does finally start, the quality is often very low, at 240p or 144p. I also have Chrome and Safari installed on my laptop and they do not have any problems playing videos. It is only Firefox. Also, I do not have this problem on my family's laptop, which runs Windows. It is only on my Macbook Pro.
Also, sometimes, various websites take a very long time to load, but this is not nearly as frequent as my problem with YouTube videos.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, starting in Safe Mode, disabling various add-ons and plugins, clearing browsing data, and nothing has worked.

Macbook is slow to load webpages and youtube videos are stopping

I just recently purchased a Macbook pro, however, its been slow to load webpages, youtube videos, etc. The youtube videos frequently stop playing and I have to reload the page. Its not the connection and I havent had the computer long enough to have to clear safari chache. WHY

Sorry to bump this, but I'm having the same issue, though it's not a poor router problem (upgraded that hoping it would fix it).
I tried the OpenDNS and it helped once, then stopped loading Netflix (Netflix, Youtube, and Facebook seem to be common problems, as well as "new" webpages that I don't go to often). If I connect directly to my Ethernet the internet works great. My iPhone connected to WiFi works great. It's just my Macbook pro and it just recently happened when I moved to my new house (I had the same ISP at an apartment and had 0 issues). Any thoughts?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
