Apple TV 2 Stops Playing after 2 Songs

My apple TV 2 plays 2 songs and stops since I downloaded the iTunes and Apple TV updates. Is Apple jamming our home libraries so that we pay $24.99 per year for iTunes Match? I'm ready to drop Apple products.

It was happening 90% of the time at 1:02 minutes into the track.  Even though ATV did not suggest an upgrade, I went to the software update, and it updated something (no information was displayed).
So, now it is up-to-date, but I still get a random stoppage in the middle of a track (10% of the tracks), and it jumps to the next track.
I have it on shuffle.  I am on wired ethernet (was on wireless, but switched to hard-wire just in case it was some network issue).
Sigh.

  • Music stops playing after song finishes

    Hi guys..im using a iphone 3gs..3.12 version
    My problem now is that my Songs after each song they stop..even thou the playlist still has songs.I noticed that everytime it try to play the next song,it kicks me back into my home page..and i have to on it back again to select another song..Im not sure what has happen.can anyone help me here?thanks so much

    Check in iTunes to be sure each song has a checkmark in the box to the left of the song's title. Songs without checkmarks are ignored unless specifically selected. If you check songs, sync your iPhone again to transfer the changes.
    To check or uncheck all boxes on a PC with one click, hold down the Control (ctrl) key and click on one of the checkboxes with the mouse. You can use this in a library, a playlist or in search results.

  • My iPod shuffle stops playing after a few songs, then it won't start again.

    My iPod shuffle will stop playing after a few songs which is very frustrating while out walking.  I end up having to shut it off for about a minute or two and then turn it back on.  Sometimes it will start playing again, but it will start playing the same songs over again.  I can't go forward or go back.  When I try to skip a song, all I get is dead air.  I took it back to an Apple store and they replaced it free of charge; which I thought was great... that is until the new iPod started doing the exact same thing.  I've downloaded songs from the iTunes store as well as songs off of my personal CD's.  I've tried deleting all the songs and re-installing them... nothing seems to solve this problem.  I know it only costs $50; but if Apple can't get a $50 item to work; why in the world would I want to invest more money in an Apple product?  It's a good thing this was a gift.... I'm just not happy with this product and there doesn't seem to be a good explanation for this.

    I Just ran into the same issue:
    My iPod shuffle 4th gen would just stop playing, and I had to turn it off, wait 10 secs and the turn it back on.
    Then it would get stuck at the same place.
    I Even exchanged the iPod for a new one since I had just bought it.
    re-synced my playlist and same issue!
    did a restore as described above - same issue.
    Solution in my case:
    one of the songs in my playlist seems was "corrupt". Even trying to play the song in iTunes on the PC did not work, kept getting the message "This computer is not authorized ....", even though the computer is authorized.
    So somehow that song being on the shuffle crashes it.
    After I removed that song from the playlist and synced again, the problem was resolved!
    So try to play all the songs that you want to sync to your shuffle on your computer, maybe you have one song that was not downloaded properly or is otherwise corrupt.
    - Deleted the song from the local library
    - re-downloaded the song from iTunes store
    - now it was playing fine on the PC in iTunes
    - re-added it to the playlist, re-synced iPod shuffle
    all is working fine now, shuffle no longer freezes.
    hope that helps someone else....

  • ITunes Match Music Stops playing after each song- Even when on Shuffle

    It doesn't matter if I'm on 3G or on WIFI the songs that are streaming through my iTunes Match account on my iPhone / iPad stop playing after a single song. Sometime it will take a few songs before it stops playing, but it ALWAYS stops. I have to constantly go onto my iOS device and press PLAY again to get the music to start again. It's not a data issue as I have a consistant 30MB down when i'm on WIFI and my 3G connection is always over 10MB down when the freezes occur.
    It's a pain in the rear having to press play every few songs as i'm paying for a service I expect to work, and clearly streaming a single song and then stopping is not working in my book.
    I'm running the latest versions of iOS and I've tried a complete system restore.
    I also notice that occasionally when a certain song comes on, it will cycle through and skip 20+30 songs extremely rapidly so I can see the song title on my iPhone but it doesn't play any of the songs inbetween. There are also of course many song's that won't even play at all.
    Any ideas?

    I am having the sames issues.  I was on the phone with Apple over the weekend.  I was told they would report it to their engineers.  It would seem this problem occurred  first in May and June and was resolved from what I have read this morning in past discussions, yet seems to be reoccurring again as of this weekend.

  • Some songs stop playing after minute 1

    I recently purchased some songs from iTunes and the majority of them have this issue, they stop playing after minute 1 or 1:30.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
    BTW the tracks that cut short, did you preview each of those for the full minute or minute 30? There's a bit of me that thinks the previews and the short downloads might be related to each other.

  • My Apple iPod Nano stops playing shortly after plugging in the correct headset, but works on docking station. I've tried enabling and disabling crossfade in settings. Any suggestions?

    My apple ipod Nano stops playing shortly after plugging in the correct headset. I've tried enabling and disabling crossfade in settings. Any suggestions?

    Make sure your headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones is flush with the Nano and you cannot see any silver from the plug still showing.

  • Why does my ipod classic stop playing after a few songs?

    why does my ipod classic stop playing after just a few songs?

    is your battery charged?  How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a  playlist when it stops)?   I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.

  • Some songs stop playing after 60 seconds

    Most of the songs on my ipod were burned thru itunes from cd's I've purchased new from retail stores, Amazon, etc. I'm having a problem where some songs stop playing after 60 seconds. It then goes on to play the next song. Can anyone out there shed any light on this for me?
    Thank you.

    This has started to happen to me too.

  • HT1711 When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

    When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

    I have a similar problem with at least two songs that I know of, one is an iTunes download (encrypted) the other was imported from a CD using iTunes (no encryption). Both songs play 2-3 seconds then immediately go to the next song. The "weird" thing -- I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook which has no songs other than what are on my iPod (i.e., not playing the song from another source) and both songs play fine. Unplug the iPod from the computer, plug in headphones and the songs skip again.
    I've gone through the 5 R's as well, with no luck.

  • Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds

    My Ipod shuffle stops playing the song after a few seconds, i can skip to the next song but it happens again for every song..
    the thing is its random, sometimes 5secs or 10 secs or at the most a whole minute
    i have updated, restored, reinstalled an all that but i really dont want to send it back as im in afghanistan and would be weeks before i see it again an i use eveyday!! for running.. i thought maybe sweat had got inside it, its not the headphones i have already tried swapping them.
    please help out a soldier in need?

    mine is doing the same thing; I have updated it, and restored the factory settings, and it still isn't working. I use mine for running as well; I think it has something to do with the sweat. Hopefully someone posts with a fix.

  • Juk stops playing after 2 songs?

    Hello Everybody,
    I've recently installed KDE 4.2 (on a clean base system) and juk seems to stop playing after 2 songs.  Is this a bug, or am I being an idiot?  Are there some logs I can read?  Launching it from a terminal I get a warning:
    juk(4736): Couldn't resolve the mime type of " "" " -- this shouldn't happen.
    but it only seems to occur once when I select the first song to play. 
    What do you think?

    No, I'm note useing laptop mode tools.  I've installed sonata and mpd and they work fine, so this would provide circumstantial evidence to support your hypothesis that this is a phonen/xine related problem, since mpd doesn't use xine/phonen.
    Edit:  Are you using i686 or x86_64?  I've got an Amd64 system and am using the 64 bit packages.  At the moment everything but my laptop is out of comission thanks to electrical problems at my apartment, when I get things back up and running, I'll file a bug report. 
    Does anybody know if there are any relevant logs to read/post?

  • My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes on Apple TV 2. Is there any fix for this?

    My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes. It just appears to buffer for no reason. I have checked to make sure that the hard drive that these movies are on does not go to sleep. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    The "Tools" are in the old drop down menu, which are not shown by default in the new Firefox Design. To show this menu:
    Firefox Menu > Customize
    On the bottom left there will be Show/Hide Toolbars. The Menu will be listed here.

  • Apple TV2 periodically stops playing audio

    Hi
    I have had an annoying problem with my Apple TV2 after upgrading to the latest firmware (6.0). When streaming video content from my MacMini Server (via ethernet) the Apple TV periodically stops playing the audio while the movie keeps playing without audio. I can solve the problem by pausing and then continuing the movie, which will bring back the audio.
    I have tried to restore and reinstall the firmware (6.0) via the Apple TV because I also had problems with the Apple TV stuttering when streaming content from my MacMini, but the reinstallation of firmware did not solved the issue.
    I don't know if this is somehow related to the issue, but after having updated to firmware 6.0 Netflix often ask me for my login credetials on the Apple TV. This is an issue that I also never experienced before upgrading the firmware.
    What to do now?
    Thanks...

    So it's been a few months since I saw this thread started, and I am still having the same issues as above with my Apple TV 3. I can go a day or two and at some point, all connections just seem to error out. HBO go, Netflix, me streaming from my ipad, etc.   thought they would have been addressed by now.
    I have to hard reboot (power plug only) in order for it to go back to normal.
    I know it's a hardware issue as I have an Apple TV 2 setup in another room and it never gives me an issue,
    The weird thing is, I have the exact same setup at my office as well.  An Apple TV 3 in the main conf. Area and an Apple TV 2 in our break area. Same issue - Apple TV 3 needs hard (pore Plug) reset every few days and the Apple TV 2 in the break room is rock solid for months.
    Both Apple TV 3 units are at most recent 6.1 software release.
    Anyone have any ideas?  Think I a just going to put my Apple TV 3's aside for a while and use the 2's until it gets worked out.

  • How can I make the iPhone podcast app automatically stop playing after one episode?

    now keep tapping the circle on the left part of the exposed controls untill a one (1) appears...

  • Smart Playlists Stop Playing After Each Track

    After updating iTunes to version 10.0.1.22 my smart playlists stop playing after each track. All songs or Podcasts in my smart playlists are checked so they should be playing consecutively but they're not.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Make sure the little boxes to the left of the song names are checked. If you need to check all the songs in a single view at once, hold the CTRL key and check any one of the boxes.
