pooter question

I'm no expert, but if the video is completely buffered/loaded it may be something with your computer, possibly your browser and or version of Adobe Flash Player. Should just be a software problem, can't see it being a hardware problem unless you have a 15 year old computer.

What browser are you using? You may want to go to http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html and get the newest version of Adobe Flash Player.

It's a mac. Whatever browser apple uses. Opera..

I think you may have hit the nail on the head. When I click vids on facebook it tells me to update adobe. So I follow the prompts and it tells me powerpc processors cannot get the update, to use an archived version. I follow the prompts to get an archived version and nothing happens. I hate not understanding computers.

Did you go to the link I posted? It takes you to Adobe's update site and it should find the correct version and all you should have to do is install it. If that doesn't work, you could try installing a new web browser. I'd recommend Google Chrome, but it's only for PC, so I'd suggest Firefox which can be found here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

I'd try to update Adobe Flash first though, much easier/quicker fix.

I followed the link, it tells me it is not available for powerpc processors. That leads me to believe a different browser won't fix it.

Ahh so it isn't compatible with your processor? That's odd.
I looked it up and yeah, unfortunately Adobe stopped supporting Power PC processors (older macs) in 2010. So I guess you're stuck with bad video playback, I'm sorry. :(

Well that sucks Harold. I think for your birthday someone should help you trade up on your Macbook so you can overcome this problem. All three of our kids were issued new Macbooks for school when we arrived here two weeks ago. They all use firefox and they love the new Macs. Unfortunately for us the boys are moving up to the high school level next year and we are required to purcahse brand new Macbook Pros for both of them. It is manditory or they have to go to school elsewhere. Our 15 year old turned us on to a website where you can purchase used Macbook Pros for reasonable pricing. They start at around $700. We loaded them up with more RAMM and a few other goodies to help them grow through the year and even if you load them up with a three year warranty, insurance, and require a new battery be installed they come out to about $1200. The site is Gainsaver.com. I do hope there is some way for you to overcome this whimpy laptop problem. Try writing to a local college for assitance for higher learning. Maybe they will have a grant system in place to help a person like yourself with special challenges. Good luck with that young man.
