Youtube videos loading slower after switching to Lion

This problem is with my Apple iMac running Lion OSX 10.7.5. Before I updated to Lion I could wacth videos on YouTube on HD quality with no problems, but since I updated some video take forever to load when on HD and I have to lower the quality for them to play witout stopping every couple of seconds. Any body else have this problem or know a fix for it? I ran disk ultity permission check and it found no problems with my HD.

Youtube videos load slow in FF & Chrome, but fine in IE.

So my problem is that Youtube videos load in a very choppy way in Firefox and Chrome, first 15 seconds load, then there's a long pause, before next 15 or so seconds are loaded. However, they load smoothly on Internet Explorer. I've reinstalled browsers and Flash, tried disabling HW acceleration, all to no avail.

It seems to me that you should not need padding if the bottom image is 'pasted' to the bottom of the menu. If the bottom div is the same size as the image, you also don't need to say "background-position: bottom;" You know that it is the 'bottom' of the menu visually. The div doesn't care where it is...it's probable that the padding is pushing the image right out of the picture (so to speak).
I don't see the bottom padding on the markup, anyway. Are the image you are presenting corresponding to the code you pasted in? By the way, seeing code pasted in is not as good as seeing the page and code in situ...by getting a link for it.

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.
The issue appears to be limited to older Flash 8/ActionScript 2 content. If you have access to the ActionScript source, there are a couple workarounds here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4841531#4841531#4841531.

My macbook pro is very slow after installing mountain lion

my macbook pro is very slow after installing mountain lion? Is anyone else having this issue?

If you don't use an SSD and bump your RAM up to 8 Gb's you may experience slow speeds, but I noticed slow speeds with your general configuration in SL.
one thing you should consider right now is, Spotlight is Reindexing your hard drive, that takes time and resources, (resources which you don't necessarily have to spare).
If you continue feeling like your performance is slow, you have a few options with this computer (I have the same one).
the express card slot can house a wintec SSD drive. That little door on the side of your machine is pure gold for a really quick solution for speeding up your machine. I have one in mine right now i'm using as a scratch disk for CS6 but I used to boot from it, and the speed boost was out of this world.
You could take out the internal HDD and put in a new SSD (I have a Vertex 4 from OCZ) it is completely over kill but my experience is pretty fast and I keep up with the later MBP models colleagues have.
There are some other options for you like taking out the optical drive (however I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about that here). Google Data Doubler.
You need to also set it to always use the 9600 chipset, this will increase performance a lot too. to do this go to system preferences>energy saver>Better Performance. This switches the video card to the better one and makes a world of difference.
Lastly, your RAM. after an EFI Firmware update, our computer support up to 8GBs of RAM. Do it!

Youtube video stops playing after 11 seconds

Mac Pro / Mountain Lion 10.8.2 / Flash 11.4 - YouTube videos stop playing after 11 secs. Only just started happening last week - around time when I installed latest Lion upgrade but this may be a red herring. Tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling with no change. Checked/emptied cache.

There are several topics with similar symptoms, but I don't think anybody has found an answer yet, as it only occurs on some few systems.
What I would try if I encountered the same problem:
try disable Hardware Acceleration (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337)
try update the graphics drivers (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765)

I had similar problem this time and last time when I upgrade/update iTune, and subsequently solved the problem through the help of this person. You may give it a try and see if this works for you. It works for me now and then. Good luck.

I have an early 2008 macbook pro that is running slow after upgrading to lion. Is there anything I can do? this is what I have,Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

I have an early 2008 macbook pro that is running slow after upgrading to lion. Is there anything I can do? this is what I have,Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. What approximate values are shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.

My wifi is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro

My wifi is very very slow after installing mountain lion on my MacBook pro.
What can I do?

Ha ha, I misread that as "My wife is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro"
BTW on my MBPro (late 2009 with max RAM) Mountain Lion runs very well with no slowing down.

HT1338 Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.

Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8. I have restarted, created more free space on my hard drive and run disk utilities. Simple operations result 20 seconds or more of the spinning wheel. Some are so slow that the operation does not happen at all. Itunes music cuts out during operations.

Check out this article by Thomas Reed for help http://www.reedcorner.net/understanding-upgrade-nightmares/. Also, make sure all apps are compatible with Mountain Lion using www.roaringapps.com. Do you have any antivirus installed? Make sure all apps are updated as well.

.flv videos load slow. Can it be sped up?

I have four videos on a page that two of them load
imediately. The other two take about five minutes to load. Is there
a way to make them all load at the same time?
By the way. The videos all load faster in FireFox. The videos
load slow IE, which I think is what most people tend to use.
http://www.liquidfirefishing.com/videos.html
Also, if anyone can tell me how enable a full screen button.
Thanks in advance.

there is no way to control the 'speed' of the DL - however
you may be able to 'stream' the video - in this way it will only
pause until properly buffered and then begin playback.

YouTube videos load so slow compared to other browsers

YouTube videos are completely downloading in memory from the start, slowing down the PC a great deal.
So if I try to watch a 20-min 1080p video, I have to wait ~20-30 secs to load completely in the memory. Only after that can I watch it without the PC freezing completely.
How can I get back to the original functionality, where the videos were downloaded incrementally as you watched them?
My setup is: Intel Core2Duo 2.2, 3.2 GB RAM 800MHz, ATI Radeon HD 5670 w/1GB memory, 100Mbit broadband (~8-10 MB/s with youtube servers)
However, Chrome for example loads flawlessly with almost no lag. But I love Firefox and don't want to switch to anything else...
Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks in advance,
Nicolae

Hello,
Thanks jscher2000 and cor-el for the support.
I disabled all the plugins beside Shockwave Flash, still the YouTube videos freeze the PC until completely loaded, eating 100% of my CPU.
My only Add-ons now (when I re-enabled them) are:
* Shockwave Flash
* Adobe PDF
* Google Update
* JRE 7u7
* App Button Color
* Firebug
* Live HTTP Headers
However, I noticed a few more things:
* The Firefox PC-freezing occurs mostly on high-resolution videos (1080p)
* Chrome puts his video download/processing thread on a lower priority somehow, so the CPU is at 100% too, but the other programs (including the video stream itself) are not affected
* Putting Firefox and Chrome side-by-side with the same video stream, 1 real-life minute will allow Firefox to play ~1:02 min of YouTube video, while Chrome remains at ~0:58.
I also attached a screenshot of my PC streaming on both browsers, maybe that will help anyone.
Thanks again for all your support,
Nicolae

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

Youtube videos VERY slow to load

Has any one else out there had a problem with getting youtube videos to load. My desktop downloads youtube videos in Miliseconds, while the apple tv takes two minutes to download the same thing! We are all wired up, so no wireless problems. Podcasts and movies stream very quickly, just a problem with youtube. Does any one know if the videos are directly downloaded from youtube or do they go through apple servers of some type? I am flustered. Already returned one unit to the store for an exchange.
HELP!

I worked with fuji master on this issue and have resolved it, sort of... Fuji's original 160GB AppleTV exhibited the symptom he described on several different WAN connections, although all were Portland Comcast.
Surprisingly, every 160GB (shipped with take 2) unit we tried had the same symptom but the 40GB models operated perfectly (on the same LAN and WAN). The 40GB was running the same version of the take 2 firmware as the 160GBs and all had been restored prior to testing. I am at a loss to explain how this could be a hardware-specific issue with YouTube, but my best guess is that some incompatibility existed between 160GB AppleTVs and YouTube.
Today, we configured and tested a new 160GB AppleTV (a firmware update occurred since previous testing) on the same network and YouTube loaded and operated normally.

Why do YouTube videos lag when I switch to 720p?

Hi guys,
I'm extremely annoyed by the fact that everytime I watch a YouTube video and switch the quality from a standard 480p to a 720p or 1080p HD, the video gets lagged out. After restarting my Macbook Pro, it gets better and in a short while when I try to view it in 720p again, it gets laggy again. I have no problems viewing it in 320p or 480p. I notice this happens after I installed a number of updates on my Mac OS X 10.
Here's a list of updates I made.
(1) iTunes 10.4
(2) Mac OS X Update 10.6.8
(3) iMovie 9.0.4
(4) Remote Desktop Client Update 3.5.1
(5) Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.7
(6) Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 5 1.0
(7) AirPort Utility 5.5.3
(8) Migration Assistant Update for Mac OS X 1.0
(9) Safari 5.1
(10) iDVD 7.1.2
(11) ProApps QuickTime codecs 1.0
Does anybody have any idea which of these updates that has caused my Macbook Pro to react unusually? Everything seems pretty normal except this YouTube video.
Thanks.

A lot of people on the other forums seem to suggest it's the internet connection.
I can tell you for one that I have never experienced anything like this before. In the past two years with the same internet plan, I have been able to watch 720p and 1080p HD YouTube videos without any problem. Just today after installing those updates, the video gets lagged whenever I switched to 720p HD.
I just restarted my Macbook Pro and everything is fine for now. In half an hour or so, it's gonna happen again.
