Any video clip that comes via email will not play all the way through without stopping so many times to load that a short clip takes 10 minutes to watch. Sometimes, the video simply stops and loads forever and ceases to work at all.
This happens for Youtube videos also.
I am using a Snow Leopard Imac.
OSX, Mac OS X (10.6), Recently added Snow Leopard upgrade
This happens for Youtube videos also.
Uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin then reinstall new.
Very important to uninstall the old first.
Uninstall > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Then reinstall new from here > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Then restart your Mac.
Video buffering is generally caused by slow Internet.
If you have a slower Internet service like DSL, then try uploading a smaller version of the videos to see if that helps.
If not, then you may need to contact your ISP and have them test your Internet speed.
Thank you for your response. I did a speed test and scored, if that's what you call the results, ping 105 ms and download speed of .27 mbps.
Is that good or bad?
Pause the video for a few seconds and wait untill the gray download bar gets ahead of the red play bar.
Then pluh the play button.
If the red bar catches up to the gray bar, then you need to either pause for longer or get faster internet service.
Thank you for your help, Carolyn. I downloaded the latest version of the Flash Player and when I checked to see if it was installed, it was.
However, I still get either the message, missing plug-in or just a black box with no active area where the video is supposed to me.
I would really like to view these gardening vids contained in the newsletters I receive.
Why won't a video clip play all the way through without stopping and loading so many times?
