AirPort problems marring video playback on 27-inch iMacs by Justin Yu Font size
Print E-mail Share 20 comments Credit CNET Last month we blogged about a bug
marring Flash playback on the latest 27-inch Apple iMacs Users on several Web
sites including the Apple Discussion Threads noticed a problem with the Flash
player that caused choppy audio and video playback but it appears that the
newest Mac OS X v10_6_2 update fixes the issue that was apparently caused by a
conflict with the Airport driver According to Apple the update addresses video
playback and performance issues for iMac 21_5-inch late 2009 and iMac 27-inch
late 2009 computers that may occur in some situations while AirPort is turned on
Since our own 27-inch iMac also experienced slow Flash streaming and
intermittent sound hiccups with the AirPort turned on we downloaded the 10_6_2
update and left it to sleep overnight Prior to the update the Flash Player
consumed 114_4 percent of system resources but 24 hours after the update we’re
happy to report 26_8 percent usage in the activity monitor and smooth
performance across all popular streaming video Web sites like YouTube Hulu etc
Much thanks to the Apple Forums and Apple itself for quickly addressing the
needs of its community If you haven’t updated yet simply choose Software Update
from the Apple menu to install OS X v10_6_2 Justin Yu covers desktop computers

2009 4:06 PM PST Who would’ve guessed it was a problem in the new OS and not the
time tested programs that exists on millions of computers from a major developer
Like this Reply to this comment by meh100 November 15 2009 7:57 AM PST I’ve got
news for you flash player on Mac and especially on Linux SUCKS And that is
Adobe’s fault It’s not unusual for the Linux version of Flash Player to take up
close to 100% of system resources which no other video player does Adobe’s
Windows build is fairly light but the other versions all are pretty hefty Notice
that on a brand new iMac Flash still takes up a quarter of the system resources

someone else Like this by impermanence33 November 13 2009 4:32 PM PST Thanks for
this post Justin A possibly-related issue I was having was my AirPort losing all
Wireless networks which in my apartment building was usually in the twenties
every time it would wake from a night’s sleep That is also now fixed with
10_6_2Keep up the great work as mundane as it may seem sometimes you’ve got a
bright future and it shows so keep on keepin on Like this Reply to this comment
by T_Hoff November 13 2009 4:40 PM PST the time tested programs that exists on
millions of computers from a major developer The same programs that have
security holes that are exploited year after year Like this Reply to this
comment by the_mortician November 13 2009 4:53 PM PST But why would one of the
most common programs that exists on many different platforms be a target for
those who seek security issues for the sake of exploitation Like this by wdowell
November 13 2009 4:42 PM PST Much thanks to Apple itself for quickly addressing
the needs of its community”Oh come on It was a bug pure and simple which I was
affected by on 21_5 as apple acknowledges too please don’t give nauseating
praise to Apple for fixing it Just cries fan-boy accusations not professional
journalism I like to expect from CNet Like this Reply to this comment by
01Phyxius November 15 2009 1:45 PM PST You expect real journalism from CNet?How
ridiculous Like this by Mr Dee November 13 2009 5:00 PM PST I don’t understand
why doesn’t Apple reveal these problems in their Mac vs PC ads Like this Reply
to this comment by cbscowards November 13 2009 5:16 PM PST I don’t understand
why are you such a trolling tool Like this by Yelonde November 13 2009 6:23 PM
PST Why doesn’t Microsoft reveal that windows has horrible virus issues in their
ads Like this by Gold_Storm_Mac November 13 2009 7:05 PM PST Mr_Dee doesn’t
understand advertising and marketing Imagine if all the problems with windows
were revealed in those ads Like this by sasquatch3 November 14 2009 3:57 PM PST
Mr_DeeMac vs PC ads are adswhat do you expectall ads from anyone are just lies
Like this by shellcodes_coder November 13 2009 7:35 PM PST LOL more problems to
be fixed in the future until then Apple will keep bribing their customers to
keep their mouth shut who have had problems with iCrap Like this Reply to this
comment by cdlenfert82 November 13 2009 9:03 PM PST Ha I wish I got an apple
bribe every now and then I just wanted to post to possibly get the word out on
another Flash issue or what seemed to be one for me I have an original Macbook
and since about August have been having regular kernel panics and safari/firefox
crashes when watching flash video I also had 2 gigs of Crucial ram installed
Well after uninstalling/reinstalling flash and doing any other number of fixes
in the software I finally called Crucial They said that it’s a rare but known
problem with the type of ram I had and sent me a free replacement that is a new
revision So far not a single flash crash I’m back on CNET TV and 404 podcast
like a mad man Hope this helps someone else in the future Like this Reply to
this comment by meh100 November 15 2009 7:58 AM PST um so you’ve just admitted
that it’s not an Apple problem it’s a 3rd party RAM problem Why is that Apple’s
fault Like this by hitsch_e November 14 2009 9:20 AM PST i upgraded my macbook 2
GHz intel core duo 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM tosnow leopard 10_6_2 and now the
finder acts very strange when i clear the desktop i can’t move or rename a file
without everything covering the desktop;when i click on the desktop all my files
disappear temporarily the same thing happens when i click on the finder in the
dock does anybody know what’s wrong with my update to 10_6_2thanks to anybody

1:48 PM PST Put X)Ubuntu on it?(If my computer was that old I’d do that linux is
