Amazon Prime Videos Jerky and no Sound

Yesterday I went to Amazon Prime Video to watch a video. The video started then it became jerky and the sound became mute. Then the video froze.
Today I tried to begin viewing again and the same problem reoccurred.
When I viewed videos on YouTube and Instagram every thing was fine.
My Mac is an Apple M 1 MacBook Pro. It has 16 megs of memory. The OS is Sonoma 14.3

Prior to yesterday I had no problem with Amazon Prime Video.
My MacBook Pro is working fine with other functions.

Any ideas...

Apple Educational Back to School program starts, includes free AirPods

Not sure who is technically going back to school yet, but.. Apple's popular summer free headset this year includes AirPods, with the potential upgrade to AirPods Pro.

MacRumors has this starting today. Usually the offer proceeds through September.

Don't forget there is also the reduced educational pricing, though that isn't what it used to be.

This would be the first time the 'free' product is AirPods...

Quote Reply not working for selected text

OT question... On some posted messages like this one whenever I selected the posted text to be quoted it would pop up an option to "reply or quote:", but that doesn't always happen now with all posted messages, sometimes the options show and sometimes they don't.

Is there any reason for that behaviour as I don't recall changing anything in my settings. Just curious.
I have not seen this here. I just got this quote from your post in the...

Mac mail - downloads duplicates of emails

I'm a bit frustrated.

For quite a few months now - my master email has been downloading duplicates into my Mac Mail. So for every email - I have 2 downloading. And the Mac Mail pops up every day or so - telling me that it has to recreate the inbox.

My email carrier is gmx - and I do have an alias on my main email (mostly because it got hacked and was sending junk)

I have tried deleting those two accounts from my computer and reinstalling them - but the duplication continues[ATTACH...

iPod Nano - how to restore factory settings?

New Year greetings to everyone here!

I have a question about using an old iPod. I think this model was called iPod Nano. It's 2-1/2" x 2" with a colour screen.

My wife isn't using it any more so I thought that I could use it ... but it was set up with the old iTunes - which she doesn't have now - and I can't figure out how to restore it to factory settings so that I can use it to put my music on it.

If I connect it to my iMac (macOS 12.7.2) it mounts on the desktop and my Finder shows it...

Inundated with fishing Banners

My wife's MacBook Air (2017-13", macOS 12.7.2) is constantly inundated with banners on the upper righthand corner of her screen. They are very short and want you to click on them. There are multiple reasons such as you have a virus or your files are being downloaded etc..etc.

I told my wife not to click on any of them.

1. I have cleaned out her history
2. I have used Antivirus Zap. When scanned no virus or malware were detected.
3. I have used Antivirus One twice. When scanned no...
