I enjoy all the information that so many of you share, and I look forward to each new days posting or newsletter. I have trouble viewing the "You Tube " tutorials, I always get the pause after 10 seconds. How does one view that help aid without the constant stopping ? Thank you in advance for replying.

Just got a faster computer and viewed my first non stop video. Love it.
Before that - I used to let it all load then go back and go back and watch it over. Occasionally that didn't work but most of the time it did.

If you have a poor internet connection, it often helps to let the video buff a good bit before playing it. When the video comes up and starts to play, hit pause. While the video is paused, you will still see the reddish line moving to show progress of the buffing. When it is a good ways up, click play. As long as your playback doesn't catch up with the bar there should be no pauses.

I just thought the same thing- it must be your computer.
I loooove those videos!

NanaCsews2 03-03-2011 09:49 PM

Could be your flash player. Could be your cache needs to be cleaned out. Could be your computer needs re-formatting. (will really speed up your computer)
We love ccleaner. It is a free download, use it everyday to clean out the computer. (My son is a computer geek so have some experience in this stuff.)

Your internet "download" isn't fast enough. Let the You Tube completely load, then try "run" again. That is what works for me.

Do I just Google "ccleaner" to get it and If I do download
ccleaner it won't screw up my computer? Thanks

What I use to do when I had dial-up, is start the video, then either go to the bathroom, or get a cup of coffee, come back and start the video again - usually it shows nice and smooth without the buffering.

I use cccleaner, it won't hurt your computer.

matraina 03-04-2011 08:32 AM

I was wondering the same thing. I love to watch the videos but many of them stop several times through the showing and a little circle keeps going around. Then it goes back to showing but it keeps repeating the cycle.

sew_sew 03-04-2011 08:48 AM

If you have a slow connection (which I used to), you really have to let the video totally buffer (the line will travel from left to right) have it on pause the whole time, til it does. Then click play.

sassey 03-04-2011 08:49 AM

Thanks for starting this thread I to have this problem it is so frustrating I usually just loose interest and stop the show I will try these tips

Janice Thompson 03-04-2011 09:41 AM

I used to have this problem but changed to ATT high speed now don;'t have the4 pro blem in exas. But, in Michigan I have this problem (can't get ATT). Good to know there is a fix

Sweeterthanwine 03-04-2011 09:47 AM

Thanks for all your good info. about viewing youtube videos. I never watched many of them because of the stopping and starting. I'g going to try the pause button and see if helps before I hit play.

BJ SewKkrazzy 03-04-2011 10:12 AM

thanks for the info on cleaner..I am doing it now...also you can hit your start button, when the window pops up, click on "run" and type in cookies, when the file opens, delete everything you can in it...I just deleted over three hundred...helps to speed up the computer...

BJ SewKkrazzy 03-04-2011 10:21 AM

As usual, I don't find these things to be free...I just downloaded, ran the program, identified 2900 erros needing to be cleaned, but you have to purchase a registered code to be able to clean your computer...how do you do the Free version??????

Anne T 03-04-2011 12:59 PM

Thanks for the tip. Didn't know why I had the pauses.:)

trolleystation 03-04-2011 02:54 PM

I have the same problem and the answer is a faster internet connection.

nclauri 03-04-2011 03:34 PM

I pause the video until it completely loads and then click on the play button. That has eliminated the starting and stopping.

Maggie_Sue 03-04-2011 05:02 PM

As always learn something new everyday on this wonderful board! Thank you!

jitkaau 03-04-2011 08:00 PM

It's got to do with the speed of your connection and usually means paying more $$$.

Do not use this type of program unless installed by your computer repair person. Some of these programs are spyware.

I do that when watching things on The Quilt Show on my computer. I hate all the stops so usually do something while it is buffing up.

It can also be your internet service. I had the same problem and that was our problem. The signals were so slow. I am at my Mother's now and her computer is older then dirt itself and YouTube works great on it. She has a good internet service.

Luscious Marilyn 04-22-2011 09:08 AM

I had to reply back and thank everyone for the suggestions. We are Winter Texans, therefore we have a different internet provider there, now that we're back in Minnesota, I have no...problem with "You Tube" running all the way though, I don't even need to wait for it to runs though. So that tells me that it's the internet provider's service that was causing the issue. We never had dial up service, we had DSL, and normally it's rather fast. So thank all of you for your help, my question is answered. Wonderful website, I just love it and look forward to each and every issue.

Luscious Marilyn 07-20-2011 02:20 PM

I just ran the cookies, but I'm wondering how do you know what you dare delete? I don't have more than 25 but I don't want to delete something I will regret in time. Thanks for the help.

I don't know which browser you are using (most people use Explorer) but I switched to Mozilla/Firefox and everything is running much better!
