Why when watching youtube is it slow to load and keeps stopping?

I have a G4 Apple PowerMac, it searches automatically for software updates so I presume it is all up to date.
When I watch videos on youtube the video is jerky stopping and starting, sometimes I have to click the play button as it doesn’t start again by itself during the video. I have an iphone on which I can watch youtube fine, any suggestions?

Updating to flash 10 (and I use the word “updating” loosely)
may be the root of your problem. Please consider all of this:

Several times each day, YouTube shuts down a few of their
servers to update stuff. Be patient if YouTube is slow, stuck
or mangled. Transmissions from YouTube to your computer
are done in multiple tiny packets of data and flash at a time.
That’s why sometimes you may get any of these scenarios:
bits and pieces of text/thumbnails in weird places; sluggish
loading/buffering; the spinning circle going on forever; or the
player being blank. This problem could fix itself within a few
hours or by the next day.

If your YouTube continues to behave slow, stuck or strange,
it’s very possible that your directories of “temporary internet
files” and RAM (sometimes known as “cache”) are close to
the maximum and just cannot take anymore, the end result
being any of the above scenarios or videos that: A) come to
a complete freeze; B) start/stop/start/stop in a choppy way;
or C) never even make it onto your screen.

“Temporary internet files” are tiny bits of webpages that get
permanently put on your hard-drive. They will remain forever
on your computer, gradually plugging it up like hair stuck in
a sink drain, until you finally get rid of them once and for all.
Thus, exit out of YouTube, then clear your “cache” of all its
“temporary internet files”, “cookies” and “history”. It is best
if you shutdown and reboot afterwards. You’ll be amazed at
how “fresh” and “new” your YouTube will be.

Note 1: if you have got Google Web Accelerator or software
similar to it….dump it, burn it, trash it, disable it, uninstall it;
– do everything you can to get rid of it. Not only does GWA
totally conflict with and destroy YouTube, clicking on “Don’t
Accelerate This Website” won’t help you whatsoever.

Note 2: longer-running videos often require both “Flash” and
“Shockwave” in order to play smoothly.

Note 3: a strange fix that once worked for me was changing
the website URL from “www.youtube.com” to “youtube.com”
(or you could even try “ca.youtube.com”).

Note 4: depending on the way your account was first set up,
your “video playblack quality” might be telling YouTube that
your internet connection speed is set to either “dynamic” or
“fast” — which makes YouTube play videos at higher quality.
This in turn eats up a lot of bandwidth, memory and “cache”.
If you are “signed-in” on YouTube as you are looking at this
answer, you can actually check your “VPQ” from right here
within Yahoo!Answers by clicking my link just below, which
will take you right to “YOUR VERY OWN” playback setting:
http://www.youtube.com/account#playback/quality
Otherwise after you “sign-in”, click the 4th black option that
will be on the left side, called “Playback Setup”.

Note 5: nothing about playing YouTube videos has changed
in the past 2 years. If anything, the newer Flash players are
causing many YouTubers a whole lot of grief, especially the
5 versions of Flash 10. It is absolutely farcical that there’s a
10.0.525, 10.1.218, 10.2.26, 10.2.54 and 10.12.36. Updates
are typically good for one thing: software/computer conflicts.
I’ve never strayed away from 9.47, and many flashers swear
by 9.45. Think of them as XP compared to Vista. Check out
