[QUOTE="JasonBR, post: 1101190, member: 169773"] @ Rune Lau and callipso I'm in the same situation as you and I came here for info. Looks like no help, though. Here's my problem: Videos on YouTube* which used to load in a couple seconds now take minutes to load. They load slower than the actual play time of the video. I have changed no settings on anything (that I know of), I have installed nothing new, I use my computer and the internet as I always have. This problem is recent and consistent. *slow loading happens on all video sites (ie. vimeo) whether on the actual site or embedded somewhere else. - MacBook Pro (intel) - Snow Leopard - Safari - Daily/Casual user (not a techie but not ignorant) If that sounds like the same problem you guys have, I wish us all luck in figuring it out. I took my Mac to the 'Genius Bar' at the Apple store once and they were very cool (you have to make an appointment). Regarding the responses to your initial post, one person said "YouTube is a busy site". Someone else said, you have a "slow internet connection". Then, after 10 days of the exact same problem, another said "Many things... can change in 10 days". ***?!? I'm sure it's unintentional but, unless these people are trolls of some sort, their responses are surprisingly lazy and, frankly, pretty insulting. Oh well. [/QUOTE]
