Apple TV 2, iTunes HD shows confusing surround audio channels?

I have recently noticed a problem with iTunes purchased TV shows, in that the front left/right audio tracks are coming out of the surround speakers (and the front sides are quiet, but the center plays back normally). This has happened with Justified and Clone Wars.
It's rare and if I restart the Apple TV the problem goes away and everything plays back normally. I've also observed that if I restart the AV receiver, that fixes the problem (Apple TV detects that the other end of the HDMI cable is off-line and it pauses the show).
Has anyone else seen this problem? I would be happy to blame the receiver, I guess , but my Blu-ray player never exhibits this behavior - only the Apple TV 2 and it seems to occur only with iTunes purchased, HD TV shows.
Thanks.

Update: turned out to be a problem with the AVR, which is now at a service center being repaired.

  • Can not get shows "Purchased on Apple TV" in iTunes to show up on Apple TV

    Hi - Ugg! To try and make this all work I deleted and re-added Apple TV to iTunes. I now can not get any of the shows that have been transferred to my laptop (which I did not want in the first place) to show up on the Apple TV.
    All the shows that I bought now live in iTunes under "Purchased on Apple TV" but are not showing up on my Apple TV.
    When I go to sync it wants to move the few shows I have left on my Apple TV over and I can't get it to not do this.
    Thanks

    Control-click the movies in iTunes, reveal them in the Finder, move them over as you would any other file, and drag them into the open iTunes application window. Rented movies won't play if moved this way.

  • How to show different recorded audio channels in timeline

    I've recorded an interview with two microphones (one was really bad, so I only want to use the other recorded microphone). I imported the clip from the tape camera into FCP X. Now in FCP X on the timeline I only see one audio track when I seperate it from the video. The two microphones seems to be 'mixed'. This was different in FCP 7 where you see both audio channels seperated.
    How do I manage to seperate the 2 audio channels into 2 channels. I'v troed with Channel Configuration via Audio Inspector but I do not understand it.
    Thanks, Pim

    Select the clip in the timeline and in the audio tab in the inspector in the channels seection switch to dual mono. You can switch off a track here if you wish.

  • I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it.  I cannot figure out how to do that.  The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device.  Does this kind of download have to run through itunes?  Thanks

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

  • We have multiple devices in our family.  On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes.  When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
    Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
    Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
    Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

  • HT1390 I've rented & downloaded a movie on my computer in itunes, but it does not show up on my Apple TV.  Everything else shows up on Apple TV, including my computer's movie library.  When I click on the movie in Apple TV it says I've already rented it.

    I've rented & downloaded a movie on my computer in itunes, but it does not show up on my Apple TV.  Everything else shows up on Apple TV, including my computer's movie library.  When I click on the movie in Apple TV it says I've already rented it and asks if I want to rent it again.  No, I just want to watch it.

    Unfortunately I have to if I download it on my computer.  I have rented itunes movies before directly using the Apple TV and it worked just fine and I could stay in the living room.  Without clicking that icon on my computer, there was no way to watch it.

  • I purchased a movie via Itunes and it does not display as a purchased item on my Apple TV yet A TV show I bought does.

    I purchased a movie via Itunes and it does not display as a purchased item on my Apple TV yet A TV show I bought does. The only way I can view it is if I turn on home sharing and the movie is downloaded to my PC. Is this normal?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Perfectly normal, purchased items only applies to TV shows, the studios have not licensed movies for redownloading.

    Since updating my Apple TV, all that will show up is the iTunes symbol and a cord. What do I do next?

    When I updated via iTunes, it told me to reconnect to my TV, and I got that screen. I gave it a few minutes, and did a force reset (down+menu on remote). Activation took a long time for me, but it eventually came back up.

    You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac.  No version of  iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs.  I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher.  The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac.  I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

  • Audio problem with one episode of iTunes tv show on two apple tvs but audio works fine on same show on iMac

    I have a season pass to Dr Who and all 30+ other shows purchased on iTunes work great. Last night's episode (Hide) has a hissing sound so loud it drowns out all the audio in the show when i try to watch it on my Apple TV.  I then downloaded the episode to my iMac and my iPad and no audio issues there. However when I tried playing it shared from my iMac to the Apple TV and the audio problem was there again. Same thing happened when I tried to AirPlay from my iPad to Apple TV.
    I have two Apple TVs. One is latest model w latest upgrade, the other is generation before without latest upgrade. Same audio issue on both. I have tons of iTunes TV shows and movies and this is the only episode with an issue. Something is wrong with this file that causes it to screws up the audio on Apple TV.
    Has anyone else seen this kind of audio issue specific to just one TV episode or movie?  Anyone know support path for iTunes problems?

    If other episodes play Dolby Digital fine this could be a file encoding problem - they sometimes get it wrong.
    I suggest you all contact Apple about the problem via itunes store support here:

  • Why doesn't a song I uploaded to the iTunes store show the Composer information when purchased?! Why is Apple deleting crucial info!?!

    Why doesn't a song I uploaded to the iTunes store show the Composer information when purchased?! Why is Apple deleting crucial info!?!  The information was embedded using iTunes and uploaded through TuneCore.  But when the song is purchased and downloaded the Composer info has been deleted (and so has the copyright protection info that was in the comments window of the mp3's info in iTunes)???

    Foundsound,
    Since your direct commercial relationship is with TuneCore, not with Apple, you need to address your question to TuneCore.
    Tune Core often places the song at multiple music retailers (iTunes, Amazon, etc.) so you should check if the same thing happened at the others.
    The fact that the Comments field was blanked out doesn't surprise me, but deleting the composer does.
    Pls let us know what you find out.
