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?

    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.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

  • Apple tv is not playing a certain movie on my shared library library, know why?

    apple tv is not playing a certain movie on my shared library library, know why?

    Dear friends,
    Thank you for responding to my problem so promptly. Frankly, I did not expect to hear from people so soon! The fact is that as soon as I posted the question, I was shown a number of similar queries and managed to find the answer. I have to say it's not intuitive! I have an apple TV original version. Apparently I had the ATV on streaming and not syncing. Streaming does not allow you to stream a rental from your computer whereas you can sync and transfer the rental from the computer!
    Thanks again.

  • Movies - even apple's own - not synching

    Repost: probably not suited to the camra, photos and video forum
    Okay, I've used up all the (limited) options I can think of here.
    I have mp4 files in my iTunes movie in-tray. These files are formatted correctly (tested using iPod Touch with OS3.0) and include Apple's own test files from their diagnostic forum AND my iPhone's own .MOV fies).
    These refuse to synch to the iPhone.
    a) the iPhone movie folder will not display a tag in the main synch series of windows. The empty Video folder does show, and only offers me the "all TV shows" synch tab option.
    b) videos will not drag to the movies menu that pops up under my iPhone's identity in the left panel when the drop-down-tab is activated. I get the circle-with-slash "not permitted" symbol when attempting to drag files here.
    Movies are working on my iPhone: I have been able to watch it's own recordings and downloaded podcasts.
    I have:
    a) Used Apple's built-in diagnostic. No erros
    b) Used Apple's diagnostic web page. No help
    c) Restored and reloaded the iPhone operating system
    Still unable to upload movies to the phone.
    Naturally, the company I bought the phone from has no idea beyond phone account activation...
    Any ideas?

    My first link shows the movie library. The files include apple's diagnostic files that are rated for use on this iphone, and a video presentation file of mine that works on the iPod Touch under OS3

    Second link shows the window with the iPhone synched.
    The files are sitting in the movies library in the top left. But will not display in the Movies window under the iPhone identity and the Movies tab under the main screen which was there under the iPod has vanished.

  • ICal (4.0.4 (1395.7)) on Mountain Lion 10.6.8 on MacBook Pro 13" not synching correctly to iPhone 3GS

    iCal has stopped synching calendars correctly with my iPhone 3GS. I am syncing via iTunes, not via the cloud; I have the latest patches for Mountain Lion; I cannot upgrade the machine's OS, because I need Rosetta. The iPhone is running the latest version of iOS Apple has pushed, but this began a couple of patches ago - I was holding off on the latest because of Reasons, and upgraded hoping the upgrade would fix it. It didn't. I also have the latest version of iTunes for Mountain Lion.
    Symptoms:
    No appointments made on the phone, in any calendar, make it into iCal. (I have five calendars that used to sync; all stopped at once.)
    Old appointments made in iCal before this started happening still sync correctly from iCal to the phone.
    New appointments made in iCal sometimes make it onto the phone, and sometimes do not. I haven't been able to detect a pattern.
    When new appointments made iCal do make it onto the phone, they are correct, except that there is always a second ghost appointment also created, only on the phone, called "New Entry." It will have the same time and date information as the actual appointment, and be listed as the correct calendar, but will contain none of the associated appointment data.
    I have tried:
    Upgrading phone to latest iOS version
    Desyncing all calendars from phone, then resynching them.
    Telling iTunes to overwrite all calendar data on sync. (I know this actually happened, because appointments I'd made on the phone which had not synched disappeared after overwrite was initiated.)
    Resetting phone to factory and reapplying everything from scratch. (This was the most recent action, two weeks ago, was a huge pain.)
    None of these resulted in any change in observed behaviour.
    What is new in the last few days is that until now, all iCal appointments had been making it to the phone, so as long as I made the appointments in iCal first, I could at least know of them while in the field. Alas, that is no longer the case.
    Any ideas?

    Sorry, it says "New Event," not "New Entry." My bad.

  • One song does not synch correctly

    I purchased a song from iTunes on my Mac. I added it to two different playlists and synched those playlists to my iPhone 4. When I play the song on my iPhone, it does not start at the beginning of the song (the first 10 or 15 seconds seem to be missing). The song plays correctly on my Mac.
    I tried deleting the song from my playlists, syncing, copying the song again to the playlists, and re-synching. The song still does not play correctly on my phone.
    Does anyone have ideas for how to resolve this?

    Hello Michael,

  • 2005 Apple Cinema displays not able to show movies with new iTunes

    ITunes is giving me the following error when trying to watch movies on my 2005 Apple Cinema display(s).
    The selected movie won’t play on one of your connected displays.
    This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
    Try moving the iTunes window to a different display. Make sure the entire window is on the supported display.
    I called the Apple support, they said my displays can not support HDCP. Can anyone else comment on this?
    Is this true to the best of your knowledge?
    Is there anything I can do to make my movies play again? Other than buy new monitors of course.
    Thanks...

    Hi,
    Highlight one of the applications that cannot be updated and click File> Get Info. Make sure you are signing-in to the iTunes Store with that Account Name shown in the Get Info window.
    Then sign-in to the iTunes store and verify the account information as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
    If the issue persists, try to reconfigure the security software or remove the SC Info folder as others have in this related discussion: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1939036

  • Photos not synched correctly on iOS

    Hi and thanks for reading.
    Sometimes it happens that some photos are not synched on my iOS devices through iPhoto and iTunes.
    For example, I have the option to sync my last 3 months events. Everything is synched but there is one event of which I have 20 photos, all shown on iTunes iPhone synch options, but after synch I have that event with only 10 photos on the iPhone.
    This is not the first time it happens.
    Any help?

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
    Regards

  • Embedded movies not playing correctly in recorded playback

    60 slides, about a dozen with short movie or animation clips saved as .mov or .m4v files.
    Everything plays correctly in a regular presentation. When I try to do a recording within Keynote using my own timing, all appears to be well, however, when I play back the recorded movie, the animation clips have stalled and stuttered during the recording process.
    I've tried reducing the file sizes, etc.

  • Apple Home Page not loading correctly?

    Only when I visit www.apple.com, the images do not load. This is extremely stressful as it also disorganizes everything on the site. Is it some preference on my MBP (or Safari) that is wrong, or what?? Is anyone else experiencing this on the apple home page as well?
    P.S. sorry I had no idea where to post this topic?

    Hi Tizzyler!
    If you clear the Safari Cache, quit Safari and try again does it correct the problem?
    And I have requested that a Host relocate your Topic to the Feedback Forum.
    If they agree, it will be transferred so it is not necessary for you to repost elsewhere at this time.
    Although here in the Safari Forum is also a good fit.
