Apple TV freezes with some ripped iDVD movies

I have finally begun ripping about 30 home video DVDs made in various incarnations of iDVD. I had hope to transfer these to my gen.1 Apple TV. The more recent, and higher resolution, rips play perfectly on my Apple TV. Unfortunately, the older movies, from as recent as 2006-2008, freeze the Apple TV when I try and play them. All movies work fine in iTines on my Mac Pro.
Any suggestions? Is it a resolution issue that can be adjusted?

Thanks,
The movies that freezes my Apple TV:

Rented movie on apple tv freezing with 15 mins to go?

Have turned modum off & on, but still having problem,,

Hi,
I'm having this very same issue! Apparently Apple screwed up with the software update.

JDeveloper freezes with some searches in "Find in Files"

With some searches in "Find in Files", JDeveloper simply freezes as it hits a file with the keyword. With other searches, it finishes okay. Any idea why that might be?
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0.

Beatport problem -- screen freezes with some tracks...

It started happening since i downloaded Flash 10 --- the
screen freezes with a lot of tracks...when it's freezed, there's
nothin' else i can do with that page ( at least inside beatport ).
When i open another Beatport page, and go to the same track that
freezed before, it happens again... this is very bad, 'cause it
doesn't allow me to buy some excellent tracks... Does anyone know
how to solve this ?

As JustinC pointed out, it would be better you were running a more 'mature' OS (also CoreAudio is part of Quicktime so if you have updated QT and not the OS you could, possibly, be running an incompatible version of CoreAudio, i'm not too sure about that.)
But considering the symptoms you mentioned, and the fact you are running very few audio tracks, I'm assuming you run a lot of MIDI.
The symptoms you describe sound a lot like a MIDI feedback loop.
You don't have any sort of inter-app MIDI routing enabled, do you ?
If you do, you need to isolate the inter-app inputs from the sequencer input, or be very careful not to select tracks which are assigned to an inter-app port (or 'all' ports)
Oh, and update the OS anyway, there is no good reason to stick with 10.3.0

Navigation buttons freeze with some websites

I lately started to get the navigation buttons (previous, next, reload) to stop working with some sites. I started to get this problem in FF 3.6 a couple of weeks ago, and after I upgraded to FF 4.0.
It does not have a rule when to happen or in which sites. It normally occurs at least once a day (currently in this Mozilla support site while I'm writing). I'm on Windows 7 (suffered the same problem in two different machines).
Any Ideas?

I think I knew the cause of this problem; it's McAfee SiteAdvisor, which I depend on to surf the net safely.
I looked for this problem in McAfee site, and they blame Firefox for it.
In fact, this problem doesn't occur in IE (where the SA is also installed), so it can be an issue for both FF and SiteAdvisor.
So until this problem is solved, is there any workaround?

When syncing iTunes with Apple TV (1st gen) some songs and movies will not sync..

I get the message that these songs and movies are not authorized to play on this computer. The computer is authorized and the songs and movies will play on the computer but will not sync to Apple TV
Any advice is aproeciated.

Thanks for the reply WC
Yes they do.
They origialnally played just fine. I moved my entire iTunes library to a new computer and now only 62 songs, out of over 2000, and two of four movies won't sync. All songs and movies are in same folders and same format.
I already selected "keep iTunes media folder organized" and "copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library"
using iTunes 10.7 and OSX 10.8.2

Portion of screen freezing with some applications

I have been noticing that some select programs when opened, have a chance at freezing a portion of my second monitor. The section that freezes is always the same section and returns to normal when the program that causes it is closed.
Programs that cause the problem: epdfview, pcmanfm, gvim.
I am using openbox, have an nvidia card with the nvidia drivers installed.
Let me know if you have any tips. Thanks

I haven't had to shutdown because of it. I just need to close the program and it goes away. But that means if I want to use one of these programs I have to close and open it again and again until I get it so it doesn't cause that problem. Very annoying.

Apple Airport newbie with some questions before purchasing - please help...

Hello all,
Please excuse my ignorance but despite looking through the relevant online manual I wish to check a couple of things before I purchase the Aiport Express (and then possibly regret it).
I have a Windows XP laptop which connects to the internet through a wi-fi connection (access to the physical router is not available me) and I want to be able to play iTunes on my laptop through my hi-fi (wirelessly).
Am I correct in thinking the Aiport Express will do this for me? If so is any extra equipment besides the necessary hi-fi to Airport express cable required?
The Airport Express doesn't need to physically connect to the router does it? Or it doesn't need to become the router providing the wi-fi does it?
How does 'AirTunes' factor into the setup and what is better about e.g. Aiport Extreme and why would you ever need an Airport card?
I have no desire for using the Airport equipment as a router or home hub for printing etc. but just streaming iTunes to my hi-fi.
Any help/clarification would be most appreciated. Many thanks in advance,
Daniel

djsuk43, Welcome to the discussion area!
Am I correct in thinking the Aiport Express will do this for me?
Yes
The Airport Express doesn't need to physically connect to the router does it? Or it doesn't need to become the router providing the wi-fi does it?
No and no.
How does 'AirTunes' factor into the setup...
It is simply the term Apple uses for streaming music via iTunes through the AirPort Express (AX).
...what is better about e.g. Aiport Extreme...
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) does not have an audio out port therefore you can't use it to stream music.
The AEBS however does support Ethernet clients, multiple USB printer and multiple USB hard drives.
...and why would you ever need an Airport card?
If you have an older Mac without built-in wireless you would add the appropriate AirPort card to give it wireless ability.

FCP Project freezing in some areas of the Movie in IDVD 08

I have done a dvd movie in Final Cut Pro 5 I have exported in Quicktime. Placed it in the IDVD 08 and when checked it plays most of the movie however it gets stuck in some places (same each time) the audio keeps playing then the movie unfreezes after a few seconds and then goes again. I have gone back to Final Cut to check the footage and it plays fine and it is all OK however, in IDVD it freezes in some points.

As a new user of apple TV, I need some advice. When I rent a movie from Itunes for viewing later, it seems to download for a second time, with a message saying ready to view in 30 mins, it proceeds to load up all over again. What am I doing wrong

As a new user of Apple TV, I need some assistance.When I rent a movie on iTunes and download for viewing later, say a day or two later, It seems to load itself all over again with a msg saying ready to view in 25 mins ! So having waited the 25 mins movie starts and runs for maybe 1 hour and the pauses for maybe 5 mins while it seems to load again . any help appreciated

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you use the Apple TV for something else or turn it off it will erase whatever is on it's drive. If you are going to download content for later viewing you might consider doing it on the computer, downloads don't disappear until they expire and you can watch them as many times as you want.

I'm getting the rainbow wheel when I try tp pen in internet page (Safari). The page half loads then appears to freeze with the rianbow wheel. I get the same result when I try to stream a movie from NETFLIX. Freezes up rather than plays (after loading).

I get the rainbow wheel when I try to open an internet page. It loads halfway, then freezes, with the rainbow wheel whirring around. Smae thing happens when I try to stream a movie on Netflix. The movie loads, then the wheel shows up and the screen freezes. Same thing when I try a DVD, it takes the disc, but won't play when I hit on PLAY.
I am repair permissions, and all that I can do, but I am a novice. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I spend big bucks and drive 40 miles to get Apple help.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If your profile info is up to date, you probably have a 2006 or 2007 MacBook with a CoreDuo or Core2Duo.
It probably came with 512MB or 1GB RAM memory and a 60, 80, or 120GB hard drive.
You're still running OS X Tiger, 10.4.
Your DVD drive may be dirty or wearing out.
For specifics about your computer, click on the  Apple Logo in the menu bar, then About This Mac, and More Info... to find details.)
You may be running short of hard disk space. You should have at least 10% free, or 10 to 15GB free for best performance. Less than that, and your hard disk is spending lots of time searching for places to store data.
Complex web pages and sites like Facebook and Twitter, and pages using Adobe Flash, and high-bandwidth applications like video streaming from NetFlix can all cause your computer to run slowly, and the fan to run at high speed, because the processor is working hard. Conversely, email is not terribly resource-intensive, and probably still works pretty well.
Several things can each provide a small performance increase (listed in no particular order):
Adding more RAM memory. Upgrade to 2Gb to give your programs a bit of 'breathing room', especially if you are running more than one program at a time.
Erasing the hard drive and reinstalling the current operating system and programs from scratch. This erases all your existing programs and data. Unless you have backups and program discs, you lose everything currently stored on it.
Installing a higher capacity, faster hard disk, say 250GB or 320GB will give your programs and data more space, and perhaps faster access if you replace the factory 5400rpm drive with a 7200 rpm drive. If your current hard disk is nearly full (less than 10% free space), the drive has to 'thrash' to free space to store information.
Upgrading the operating system to OS X 10.5 Leopard or OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Both are discontinued OS X versions, still available to order directly from Apple, but not likely found on a store shelf any longer. An upgrade to OS X 10.7 Lion might not be possible for your MacBook (details here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/), and Lion would likely cause a further slowdown, because honestly, Lion is optimized for newer, faster dual-core or quad-core computers with fast video chipsets and 4GB or more of RAM.
A faster internet connection, for example: I switched internet providers to get a 3.0Mb DSL connection (up from a 512Mb connection) for an extra $10 per month, and saw downloads and internet browsing speeds increase dramatically. With the slower connection, it was not possible to watch video.
Will all of these upgrades together get you close to the performance of the latest MacBook Air or MacBook Pros? NO!
Ultimately, you have a 4- or 5-year-old computer, and spending up to several hundred dollars for upgrades might not be a worthwhile investment for you, versus applying that much money toward the cost of a new(er) Mac, and perhaps passing your MacBook on to a friend, child, or grandchild who needs mainly email capability.
If a brand new Apple is not in the budget, consider a refurbished Mac from the Apple Store online. These are reliable computers from 'last year's models' and have the same 1-year Applecare warranty as a brand new model, and often sell at a discount of 10 to 30 percent of the price when the model was introduced.
I'm using a mid-2007 MacBook, purchased as a refurb from Apple in late 2007. It came with 1GB RAM, a 120GB 5400 rpm hard drive, and OS X 10.4 Tiger. Over the years, I've upgraded it twice. Firs to 2GB, then to 4GB RAM, to a 320GB drive, then to a 500GB 7200 rpm hard drive, and to OS X 10.5 Leopard, and then to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Rather than one more round of upgrades to OS X 10.7 Lion, I'm saving for a newer MacBook Pro or MacBook Air at some time in the future.

I have MTS files imported from a Canon HD cam. They import into I movie and I see them in the Finder folders and they preview fine. I have a new project and some of the clips are freezing and some audio is now gone? Do i need a file converter and convert

I have MTS video files that import from a Canon Vixia HF S20 HD camera. I imported into I Movie. They converted into MOV files and I see them in the movies folder in finder. They view fine and run through the events folder in Finder. In I Movie, I created a new project and used a "Theme". The project worked fine at first but then some clips started to freeze and some lost audio. The effected clips are the same in the project library and in the event library, meaning they are froze in both places. As I said when i view through finder the MOV files preview and work fine. Is this inherent to MTS files using in I movie. SHould i consider using a file converter to convert to MOV files prior to importing into I movie.
I found on Apple support site info that states the MTS files can only be imported through the camera. I am developing my back up procedures and now I am faced with backing up in the original MTS files but not being able to reload if necessary into I movie. Any suggestions?

I'd like to add that after I import these clips without thumbnails, iMovie does give me an error and say that they could not be imported. No explanation as to why, though. Again, they play fine on my camera.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
