3G nano cuts to menu during movie playback...

Guys,
Whilst watching a movie on my iPod nano, it frequently just cuts out and returns back to the menu without holding the position of where it was last at...
very annoying...
I'm up to date with all the latest software downloads, so I'm struggling to see what the problem could be. I've seen this posted up a couple times in a similar vein, but I'm wondering if it's a bug or just my unit...
Also, any idea on fixes would be great...
(I'm using ImToo DVD Ripper)

same problem here. at first i thought i hit the back button, but no. even if that happened, i would be able to restart the vid at the point it stopped. but it resets to the beginning of the movie. it is in the right format, and my software is up to date. i thought this was maybe a setting, like a sleep mode or something, but its not.

My Apple TV stops and returns to main menu during movie playback and photo slide show via homesharing. I have a second Apple TV in another room that works fine.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.

Apple TV 2 - Not synching correctly during movie playback

Hi all,
Recently bought the new Apple TV and have set it up fine. During some movies playback I notice the picture starts to jerk and then the sound is about 1-2 seconds ahead of the picture. To rectify this I have to pause the video, then play. When I pause, I can see the video playing catchup to whichever point in the sound I paused it at.
Is anyone else having this issue? Or does anyone know what the cause of this issue is?
The movie plays fine on my iMac with no synching issues. Im assuming its because my iMac is running and using its processors at that given moment. Some of my movies are MKV files encoded to MP4 via Handbrake.
Some help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

It could well be because your Mac is heavy on resource usage running handbrake which will use as much CPU power as is available to do the job.
Having said that I've seen this occasionally with ATV1 and ATV2, and recently I've wondered if it's iTunes doing something else eg automatically downloading a subscription podcast, and effectively freezing to other processes like AppleTV streaming as it saves a podcast to disc.
The other obvious candidate is the network not quite keeping up with streaming demands and running slightly behind.
Try playback without Handbrake or other intensive processes running - does it behave better?

Weird Artifacts Surrounding Menu Items & during movie playback

My Apple TV's picture was rock solid for the first month or so, but now when I watch movies I've synced to it--which were just fine before--I get loads of blocky artifacts, plus these horizontal lines of blue static. At first glance, the interface image looks fine, but if you play around w/ the menus it soon becomes clear that the same blue lines are surrounding many of the icons. Wiggling the HDMI cable has some effect on the lines, but disconnecting/reconnecting the cable doesn't change anything. When I use onboard photos as a screensaver, many of the photos have the blue lines framing them on all four sides.
Has anyone else experienced this, and are there any troubleshooting suggestions y'all might offer aside from "try a different HDMI cable"? I'm wondering if someway, somehow this could be a heat issue, since for whatever reason the Apple TV is hotter than the dickens, even though there's plenty of clearance around it and the room is very comfortably air conditioned.

Well, the HDMI cable that was in place was from Monoprice.com, where I buy most of my cables from--their prices are very low, but I've never had any quality issues with them before, and I'm sure there are many posts here recommending them. Still, I swapped out that cable for one that came with my Gefen HDMI switch, and now the problem has vanished. I'm going to use the Monoprice cable with my TiVo (where the Gefen cable used to be) and will see if there are any issues there or not. I'm crossing my fingers in the hope that there won't be...

TV Out Turns Off During Movie Playback !!!!!

OK Apple got my $200.00 and now no video playback on the TV....
I got my cable (You know the one with USB and 3 RCA's on one end) Plugged into the 4G and my TV. I go to settings in the video menu and select (TV OUT YES) (NTSC)and (Wide Screen). Time to play the movie right... NO! it only plays for a few seconds and the turns the TV OUT to OFF all by itself...
Next hook up sister's Classic to same cable and it works great!
Great little product (POS) and the best part is I checked apple.com for support and nothing just this forum where you might find help if really lucky!
So iPod wizards change my mind on this thing and help me figure this issue out if possible
Thanks "Frustrated in Oregon"

Note that there are several different ways that an iPod or Nano can support TV output, depending on the iPod model & type of connection. The charts at iPod and iPhone: TV out support may be of some help with this, but it still can be confusing, depending on which of the two Apple docks with very similar names you might have used, or if you used any third party connection products.
Because of this, it probably would be best for each of you asking for a solution to describe in detail which items you used in your connections, & which of the TV's video input jacks that you plugged the output connectors into.

Black screen during movie playback

I have three downloaded movies in my iTunes library - 2 that I purchased several years ago on a previous computer and re-downloaded onto my new computer from the cloud (when I was living in the US) and one that I rented just recently and downloaded to my iTunes (now I am living in Tanzania, so that took quite some time to download). When I try to play any of them through iTunes, the screen is completely black, even though the movie timer is ticking down as if it's actually playing. No sound, no picture.
Can anyone help? Thank you!

I am deployed in Iraq and have only my 1st gen iPad with me. I purchased 4 movies via iTunes however, the internet here is very bad and there were a ton of interruptions so it took almost 4 days to complete all the downloads. When I started watching one of my movies, it froze and the display went black. I to tried a restart first on the video application and then on the iPad itself to no avail. It wasn't until I reset all settings in the general tab of the systems settings did the video application start responding but if I tried to play the same move, it would do it all over again. When I go to iTunes and do a check for downloads, nothing is there however, I believe that with all the interruptions, bits were missed in the download process and iTunes simply cannot detect it. Also, if I do delete the movies in question, I will have to buy them again because the iPad hasn't been synced to my computer thus no transfer has taken place. Apple either provide a workaround for re-downloading movies free of charge to iPads or refund us our money for content that you have failed to deliver.....

Keynote quits during movie playback

I use Keynote 6.5.2 for presentations in my classroom on my Mid 2010 Mac Mini (10.10.2). Over the last month, whenever I play an imbedded movie, Keynote will randomly exit at any time in the movie to the desktop. It looks similar to following a hyperlink, only Safari does not open. The green "resume" arrow on the Keynote icon is visible on the dock and will return me to the movie, but it will start the movie over. Could anyone please offer a solutions to this annoyance?

I figured out that deleting the quicktime-cache should help. I tried it. Now I can watch converted videos, tv-series without proplems.
But iTunes still freezes when I want to watch a movie rental, when direct3d acceleration is of...

Itunes 10.1.2 freezes during movie playback

I have several movies that were purchased through the itunes store.
I can't play them using my macbook air 11.6
The first part of the movie will play, then the video and audio will lock up (not comfortable on your ears when this happens)
Opening / closing itunes does not correct this problem.
I've also repaired permissions on my disk.
I am also unable to skip forward on any of my movies. It will play the first chapter then lock up.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

First try running software update, itunes 10.2 was released last week. If that does not solve your problem then go to ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist and drag that plist file to your desktop. Then restart iTune and try again.

Can I disable display of titles & blue bar during movie playlist playback?

During movie playback from a playlist, my AppleTV briefly displays the name of each movie it encounters in the bottom left corner of the screen. At the same time, the blue scroll bar briefly appears.
Most of the time I like this behavior, but is there some way to disable it for when I don't want to see it?
For example, I'd like to be able to set up my AppleTV for a movie party and simulate on old-time drive-in movie program. I want set up a playlist to show clips of coming attractions, homemade commercials, the feature presentation, etc., and not have the titles and blue scroll bar flashing on the bottom of the screen each time the AppleTV encounters the next clip during playback. The flashing titles & the blue scroll bar are very distracting in this case.
If there is no option to disable this behavior, then I hope it gets added to the feature wish-list for a future update.

i don't believe there is any way to turn it off.

Question: Apple TV Movie playback freezes very briefly but frequently

Last night I rented a couple of HD movies from iTunes on my 160GB Apple TV and watched them. During playback there were quite a few very brief instants of the picture freezing during movie playback. It's the kind of thing some people may not notice (I don't think my wife noticed), but it got to be kind of annoying to me, to the point where I was anticipating it to happen again instead of enjoying the movie!
One of the movies was about 80% downloaded when I started to watch it, although it said it was "Ready to Play." Also, the hard drive on my Apple TV is about 3/4 full with music.
Anyone have any idea why this would be happening and is there anything I can do to fix the problem?

Thank you for your response. Again, it was relatively minuscule, but just noticeable enough. I will reboot it.
Has this been a noted problem with other users of the old unit?
I've seen very bried video stutters and audio dropouts from time to time.
Another possibility is the encoding but generally it's not that - if you rewind and replay usually it plays ok 2nd time around - if encoding of video was to blame it would always be the same.
I am considering grabbing a new unit in the future. Has Apple noted that the new Apple TV will have "smoother playback" relative to the old unit, or something like that?
Not specifically, it's just a more powerful chip in it than previously - the old AppleTV was probably pushing the limits with the available hardware.
However, from:
http://www.apple.com/uk/appletv/
this might be a hint:
"All streaming. No hassle.
Everything you want to watch — films, TV programmes, photos and more — streams wirelessly to Apple TV. That way you don’t have to worry about managing storage or syncing to your iTunes library. HD film rentals play over the Internet to your widescreen TV, while music, photos and TV programmes stream from your computer. Either way, all you have to do is click and play. Since Apple TV features a powerful A4 processor, it streams everything effortlessly, without frozen screens or stutters. Video looks crisp and clear. And just like watching a DVD, you can fast-forward through opening credits, pause for a popcorn break or replay a hilarious scene until you memorise every line."

Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

Try a hard reset first.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button
until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds,
and then the Home screen.
If that doesn't work, try a restore of the device in iTunes.
Otherwise, does this skipping and stuttering only happen with certain tracks? What format are these tracks in and where they come from (outside of iTunes or from the iTunes store itself)?

I am having the same problems. My guess is that a lot of people are having the same problems and just living with it. Those of us who know where to go on the Internet come here to find a fix.
It seems Verizon has some explaining to do. Maybe they should try Beta testing new software a little better. I would rather have to wait longer for something that works. I am sure that some manager or director said this is close enough, deploy it and we will see what happens. Well, you are seeing the problems. Time to fix your mistake.
All of us are telling our friends about the problems. The longer this goes on, the more people we will tell about it.
Wouldn't you rather us be telling our friends that their is an error in the new interface and that you are working hard to fix it?
If you want to be up front about this, then just tell us. We are adults and can handle it. If you made a mistake, own up to it and give us some credit for doing your Beta testing in the field.
Customer Service is all about telling the truth and if you made a mistake, admit it and lets move on with a fix. I do not want to be told again that I should be able to unplug it, power cycle it, try the on-board diagnostics, etc., etc.......
I am going to be repsonding on a daily basis to keep this topic at the top of the list.
Time to come clean. You will feel better Verizon.
Let's talk tomorrow.

Booklet crashing during fullscreen movie playback

My Nokia 3G Booklet crashes during fullscreen movie playback, usually after 30 minutes. I'm using the booklet to play to a LCD screen @ 1024 x 768 via the HDMI output. The movies aren't even HD, just 600-700MB Avi files. I'm using Windows Media Player version 12.0.7600.16415. Anybody else have this problem? The Booklet gets pretty hot playing movies too.

About the temperature you should not worry to much, I would suggest you just to try another player, such as GOM Player, and to see if you have same issue, also If you could submit some logs with the latest Error Logs from your system, so that we can check if there is a Kernel Power issue or it might be related to overheating of your CPU. I had seen full movies over HDMI and no issue with it. I guess might be some software issue.

Cuts songs off during playback

My 32 GB Ipod Touch seems to cut songs short during play back. It appears that it only happens to AAC format songs I have ripped from CD's.

In iTunes have you tried right clicking the song, then click Get Info. Go to the options tab and make sure "Stop Time" is not ticked?
