Apple TV 3rd Gen - Won't use iTunes Movie Start Time

I've went into the info options under a movie in my iTunes library, and changed the start time. But when playing back on my Apple TV from the beginning, it does not start at that time? Is this functionality not transferred to the Apple TV? I have a 3rd gen, and I would like to know a way I can either chop the beginning to this film off without re-encoding, or if there is a way my Apple TV will recognize my start position set up for specific iTunes movies..?

AFAIK? is that iTunes conversion? I tried earlier to create an Apple TV format video from the video source in iTunes and had a set in point, it did not clip the beginning...
I do know that if you do this same process with audio it will clip the beginning, I do this for ringtones... If anyone finds a solution besides having to re-export, would be great!
I love my Apple TV I just wish it all worked more fluidly, has some glitches here and there and these things should go both ways..

  • Apple TV (3rd Gen) won't activate or set date & time

    I have just purchased an Apple TV however it will not activate or set date and time.
    It was able to update to the latest software but will not log in using my Apple ID.
    I have tried the following:
    1. Reset all settings on ATV.
    2. Reset router (two different internet connections have been tried, both mobile broadband running 3G, the first as a Wifi modem router, the second as a USB modem running through an ASUS RT-AC68U.
    3. Have tried setting port forwarding on port 123 on the router for the ATV.
    4. Have tried connecting the ATV through ethernet from the router.
    None of these have worked so far, are there any other solutions?

    AppleTV is not seeing the internet from the sound of it.
    If you can detect the wifi signal with another device then it must be a connection issue.
    I would look at the encryption used - AppleTV didn't used to like WEP and I would suggest using a WPA2 variant for home usage if possible.
    Which country are you in and which mobie broadband solution?
    The best option is generally ethernet connection to AppleTV:
    I assume the ASUS siupports this?

    One other thing, how does the USB modem connect to the ASUS?  From the specs, I can't see the Asus directly controlling a USB modem from its USB sockets, so presumably connected to a computer?

  • Apple TV (3rd gen) won't turn on...please help

    My Apple TV (3rd gen) won't connect to my TV. It blinks 3 times, so i tried to reset it, but nothing happened. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem. Thanks.

    Can someone please help me? My apple tv (3rd gen) continues to blink 3 times and won't respond. I've tried doing different things that I've read through the manuel & forms: (1) holding down menu and FF for 6 seconds to pair the remote (2) unplugging the apple tv and waiting 30 seconds
    After apple tv was unplugged, it looked fine when it turned back on...but, once again the same problem remains and my apple tv remote will not work.
    Hopefully, someone can help me solve this problem.
    Thanks.

  • Apple prevents 3rd Gen iPads from using Continuity/Handoff, WHY?

    Hours I spent trying to figure out why this EASY to use INSTANT feature that had me incredibly excited and thrilled to be an Apple customer would not work.
    I Have the iPad that was top of the line....for 5 months when Apple discontinued it and released the 4th gen instead. Thanks.
    All they say is it's not available, no where does it say why.. Jerk move.
    Anyone one have  good answer? It's not like it can't be wifi tethered to my iPhone anyways!
    Please, help me reduce my disappointmen with a reasonable answer?

    Apple has never given a reason and we're not allowed to guess as to why.

  • Apple TV 3rd gen won't accept my apple ID or password.

    My Apple TV refuses to accept my Apple ID and password as correct and will not allow me to access home sharing.
    Home sharing is on in itunes, my wifi connection is not an issue and i have restored ATV to factory settings also. Have been through the settings numerous times and am now lost. Can someone out there help a brother out please?

  • Weird problem with the apple tv (3rd gen) playing choppy iTunes Music

    I have a weird problem with the apple tv(3rd gen) when i use my macbook pro to play itunes music via airplay the music is extremely choppy however that only happens if I have both my mac and apple tv connected to the same 5 ghz band on my dual band wifi network if i switch either one of my mac or apple tv to the 2.4 ghz band it works fine. I would like to find a solution instead of having to do this work around because i prefer my 5 ghz band for both my mac and apple tv and have my other things connected to my 2.4 ghz.

    5 GHz, so far as I'm aware transfers no more data than 2.4 Ghz. There are other things involved that might help data through volume such as the wifi standard or dual width channels, but essentially if you compare like for like they are they same for the amount of data they can send. The main advantage of 5GHz is that it's less susceptible to interference and potentially more private.
    It's possible that you have different issues on each band, I couldn't say at this time but have you checked for interference.

  • Using Apple TV (3rd gen) as a remote speaker from original Apple TV (1st gen)

    Just got my new Apple TV (3rd gen) - discovered I can't AirPlay to multiple speakers from it like my old Apple TV (1st gen). As a workaround, can I use the old Apple TV just for music, using the new Apple TV as one of its airplay speakers? Can't seem to. The 3rd gen Apple TV doesn't appear on the original apple TVs list of airplay speakers. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks, and thanks for your reply.
    Yes, that does work - from iTunes I can see both apple TVs fine as options in the multiple airplay speakers - I was just really hoping to leave the main computer off and play my music from either the original apple tv's hdd or my iphone.
    Prior to buying the new 3rd gen Apple TV I had been doing that for a while, using the original Apple TV to airplay music to speakers connected to its own optical out and via airplay to an express in the dining room.
    It's odd that I can see both apple TVs and the express from the multiple speakers option from iTunes, but I can only see the express (and itself) from the original apple TV's multiple speakers menu. (Original Apple TV has been updated to latest software.) Maybe it's just too old to know about the new Apple TV.
    Has anyone managed to get an original Apple TV to airplay to multiple speakers where one of those speakers is another Apple TV?

  • Apple TV 3rd Gen - iTunes Movies Not Showing Up???

    I have Apple TV 3rd Gen (latest) but for some reason my previously purchased itunes movies are not showing up anywhere on the system.  The content was purchased on my previous Apple TV 1 and stored in a connected itunes library via my iMac.  The TV shows are all there and eveything else seems to be working find.  Home sharing is ON. Does anyone know why?

    Changing the store setting in itunes store  helped me get the store back

    Refurbished iPod touch 3rd gen won't start.  Just got it today to replace my broken one. It freezes at the screen with the apple logo, then flashes off and tries to restart again. Help!

    I have tried holding the power home button but all that does is turn it off. When I try to start it again it goes into the same loop.

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

  • Photo Sharing not showing all photos via Apple TV 3rd Gen

    Hi
    Have Apple TV, 3rd gen, latest update of the software. Running 10.8.5 on a mid 2009 MacBookPro. When I select a few smart albums from iPhoto 09 (v. 8.1.2) and then select those albums to share/stream to my Apple TV via iTunes (11.1.3) only a few of the photos show up; in the 3 albums I have selected to share/stream there are in excess of 500 photos. However, when I have my photos selected as the slideshow/screensaver in my Apple TV, only a few photos show up, less than 100, and then the slide show starts to repeat itself.
    Any ideas why it's not showing every photo in the albums I have selected to stream/share?
    Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
    David

    Are you mixing slideshows and screen savers up, screen savers won't show all the photos in a large collection.

  • Cannot Restore Apple TV (3rd Gen)

    My problem began when I ran into the notorious problem of the Apple TV (3rd Gen) crashing after auto-installing the latest update. Specifically, ever since the update, it will only boot to the Apple logo. Rebooting simply returns it to the logo. I figured I might've been impatient, so I let it sit for a long while, only to come back maybe an hour later to find it still frozen on the logo.
    So I tried to restore it to factory settings via iTunes, but this has led to my current problem -- Neither my PC (Win 7) nor iTunes will recognize the device.  I followed the standard 3rd gen method of connecting: Connect via micro USB (data cable, not charge cable), connect power. It fails to appear in iTunes, device diagnostics show no devices connected, and Windows doesn't appear to even acknowledge its connection.  I've tried unplugging and replugging power and USB multiple times in different orders with no change in results. (Hilariously, for one brief moment, it did show up in iTunes -- as my iPhone!?)
    I can verify power is working as I can see the optical port lit red when connected.
    I seem to have hit a brick wall, and I'm almost certain this is a software problem (as opposed to bad hardware) given it crashed immediately after the update.
    This is the USB cable I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JWPENRU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF 8&psc=1
