Apple tv giving playback problems for purchsed movies

My movie purchase on apple tv keep stoping to load every 15 minutes while im watching the movie. Has his happened to anyone else? My signal strength is strong and i have watched other movies on my apple tv and not had a problem. Can someone help?

Are these locally stored movies or streaming via iCloud?
Signal strength isn't always a good indicator. Check istumbler or netsumbler for interference.

Computer iMac7,1 has been giving sundry problems for sometime. Within the last six weeks I have reinstalled the OS (Snow Leopard),without affecting the overall contents of the hard drive.
±3 weeks later the problems became more serious and I againreinstalled the OS and installed OS 6.6.7 from the internet.
I used the option to restore from the external backup driveand went back some time as it was my intention to reinstall individualcomponent in an attempt to find out where the problem might lie. This hasintroduced an entirely new problem! If I open Time Machine from the desktop itappears that all backups from late 2009 to June 2011 are intact. But, in thiscase there are none of the restore functions &c on screen. The latter areonly shown if Time Machine is opened from the menu bar or from the dock but, inthis case, available are only backups in late 2009!
I also opened the Apple Hardware Test in an attempt toestablish the nature of the problem. The ‘quick’ version said there’s nothingwrong; the more detailed one reported “Error detected, 4HD/11/40000004.” I haveagain tried to employ this test but nothing I do can induce it to open!!!
What to do? I need help urgently and would appreciate anyadvice that offers solutions to the problem.

To check your S.M.A.R.T status open disk utility and click on your drive and then click on the info icon.

You are not addressing Apple here. If you have a problem, describe it and someone might be able to help. Just to be sure, the wi-fi on the phone will go off after the phone goes into sleep mode unless it is actively being used. This is a battery saving measure. If you are actively using the internet, and the phone is still awake, then the wi-fi should remain connected.
What troubleshooting steps have you tried.

Yes. In the future, however, only you will be able to update Lion because it will now require your Apple ID.

Playback buttons for flash movie

Hello, im having some difficulty adding a play, pause and
stop button to a movie I imported into flash.
The movie was imported using the import wizard in flash 8. I
did not add a skin because when I tried adding it , the skin would
not show through once I imported the finished swf file in
Trainersoft. ONly the movie would come through. So, then I decided
to add my own playback buttons to the movie. I imported the movie
again using the import wizard, i did not select a skin. The movie
was imported fine into flash. I added a play, pause and stop
buttons as new symbols each in their own layer. I added the correct
action scripting to the buttons, i preview movie and the buttons
appear correctly but nothing happens when I click each of the
buttons, the movie keeps playing without reacting to me clicking on
either the pause or stop button, or the play button.
Here is thte scripting im using.
For Play: on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
play();
For Pause:
on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
stop();
For Stop
on (release) {
" Movie".gotoAndStop (1) ;
I would love to hear from someone to help me out. Thank
you!!

First, create your play button. Click on it, and open up the
Properties Panel (Shift + F3). Type in:
play_btn for the <Instance Name>.
Then, create a new Layer in your Flash file, called Actions.
Click on the first frame of the Actions layer, and open up the
Actions panel (F9).
Type in:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function(){
play();
}

"An error occurred loading this content" problem for rented movies

I have an AppleTV 2 connected via Ethernet to my BT Home Hub router and HDMI to my TV. My OSX (Lion), iTunes and AppleTV software are all up to date.
Everything works fine apart from renting movies. When I rent a movie, it shows I can play it rather quickly (too quick in my mind, I thought you had to wait for a certain amount to download) so this is strange. BUT when I do go to play it it states:
"An error occurred loading this content. Please try again later"
There is no other error to inidicate the issue. If I do try later (sometimes 2 days later) I still get the error.
I tried downloading Hall Pass, The Eagle and The Adjustment Bureau, all were the same.
I can stream YouTube and Radio from the net, I can stream music, pictures and video from my iMac OK. Its only rented movies.
I contacted Apple and they basically told me there is nothing wrong with the content so sent me some standard troubleshooting links none of which help, and said to post if here. So Apple will not help any more.
This used to work fine, some months ago I rented a couple of movies OK. The only things that would have changed since then are possibly upgrading AppleTV software (I dont know if I did this after renting a movie OK), and upgrading to Lion and to iTunes latest software.
Would any of these upgrades, especially to Lion, affect AppleTV rented movies???
Thanks

I have the same issue, to temporarily fix it go to Settings > General > Restart. When it restarts the movie should play. You have to do this for each movie for the most part.

Movie playback problem for PC iTunes

Hello,
I recently began having an issue with playing movies in iTunes. For some reason, I am no longer able to play music videos / movies in my iTunes.
When I click to play the movie, the screen is completely back and the timer / play length, is already at the end of the movie. However the movie does start at the correct spot, as I am able to very briefly hear the audio. Additionally, if I were to scroll through the movie I could see the visual, however if I click to a certain area I will just see a frozen frame and the movie will fail to play.
I followed all the trouble shooting steps listed by apple and other steps like making sure all the software is up-to-date, etc.
Anyone have any similar issues or advice to tackle this problem?
Any help at all would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jordan

I have similar problem on both my Windows 7 Laptop and XP desktop. Movies will not start in my case, but if i use Windows media player they work fine. Both running the latest 10.x. version

Video playback problems for Mac/iTunes

When iTunes is in video playback mode things go haywire. The video stops (the audio keeps playing ok) then skips forward. Sometimes it will play ok for a few minutes but always starts up again. I have done the profrences thing. No luck. Anybody found a work-around to this problem while Apple gets it's groove back re: iTunes?

I have the EXACT same problem!! I have gone through the same steps as you and more. I have reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime, emailed support, and they responded as follows: " Dear John, I understand that you're unable to hear any audio when playing this video, purchased from the iTunes Store. I'd be happy to help you with this. Fortunately, this issue can usually be corrected by simply reinstalling QuickTime." I really think it sa something to do with iTunes 7. I didn't have this problem with earlier versions. Something to do with the audio/video drivers?

2 Iphones on same Apple/Itunes account a problem for OS6?

My wife and I each have an Iphone as well as Ipad..(2 phones, 2 Ipads). We have one Itunes/Apple account id, mine. So far it has not been an issue, but today I just updated all of the devices to OS6 and I'm a little concerned about the new messaging setup. It looks like the messaging parameters are now attached to the account and not the device. It appears the settings on both phones are synced and identical.
When I go into message set-up --> Send & Receive :
The first section labeled: "You can be reached by Imessage at" has my celltn, wife's celltn, my email, wife's email. All 4 are checked
The second section labeld: "Start a new conversation from: has my celltn, wife's celltn, my email, wife's email. Only my cell tn is checked and only one selection is allowed.
Am I to interpret that the first section means that any text message sent to any of the 4 address listed will be recieved on all 4 as well?
And it looks to me like the second section means that messaging can only originate from my cell phone (the only one checked)?
I just noticed this this morning as I updated the phones then had to leave. I intend to do some testing tonight, but I certainly hope this isn't a 'new feature" that will force me to create a second Apple count just so my wife can use text messaging.
Anyone have a similar issue or can tell me its not a problem?

Hi Mate.
Just had a little think about this and think this is fairly simple to resolve although I haven't tried it so let me know if this works. This should allow you to have two different iCloud accounts for each device but still use same apple I'd for purchases of apps music etc.
Back up both phones onto iCloud before doing this so u can revert back if it doesn't work. Continue the rat at your own risk.
Do this on both devices.
1) Go into settings... iMessage...send & Receive... Apple ID... Sign out
2) Go back to settings.... imessage... use your apple id for imessage... create new apple id (Each user set up their own iTunes (iCloud account)
3) Settings... iCloud.... Account... Turn off contacts, calendar reminders etc. but when the option comes up KEEP ITEMS
4) scroll down and select Delete account again keep data on phone
5) then go back into settings and sign into iCloud using your new iCloud settings on each device
6) once you've done that it'll say your contacts, calendar etc on this phone will be merged onto iCloud make sure you click merge then all your contacts will be saved up to the cloud.
7) check iTunes password is right by clicking settings.... iTunes & App Stores apple I'd should be that which u use for iTunes :-)
Hope this helps.
Add the new profile.
Then just use the original iTunes account details in the iTunes Store settings so u can still both use the same account for music and app downloads.

Apple ProRes Timeline playback problem - Please Help

I am capturing 720p 60 video from a Panasonic Varicam using a Blackmagic HD Extreme card and using the Apple ProsRes (HQ) setting (Blackmagic HDTV 720p 59.94). We are editing the film in Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) 24fps. In my timeline all the clips are marked for render preview (green). When I play back sequences, some scenes seem to be stuttering or playing back two duplicate frames. Some scenes play fine. I've rendered the sequences and it corrects the problem with some scenes and causes the problem in others. There seems to be no consistency to what is happening. I would deeply appreciate any input on this problem.
Thanks.

The clips and the sequence don't match. We are capturing 60fps from the Varicam, but need to edit in 24fps for a film release. I don't mind rendering the sequences, but it sometimes fixes the problem and sometimes causes the problem. Thanks for the thought though.

Will Apple reject giving me AppleCare for my new iPad if it has iOS 6 beta

I plan to purchase AppleCare+ tommorow at my local Apple Retail Store. During the inspection of my iPad, will they deny giving me AppleCare+ if I have iOS 6 beta 2 installed. I am a registered developer.

Quite possibly, but go to the store and ask.

ATV Movie rental...no sound on for 1 movie.

HI all,
I rented my 2nd movie via ATV last night and could get no sound at all from it. The 1st movie I rented last week was just fine, and any other content (previews, music, podcasts etc) was also fine so this was definitely just the individual movie, nothing else.
The only difference between this movie and the last one I rented was that this one was HD and the first one was SD, but that may not be the problem.
Has anyone else seen this issue? I am going to call Apple today to try to get the $4.99 back but I thought I would ask.
Cheers
Rixta

Similar situation for me - I rented my first movie last week on one Apple TV, and everything was fine. I rented a second film last night on a different Apple TV, and no audio for the movie (all other ATV audio - system sounds, preview, clips, YouTube - are fine)
Both were HD rentals. Both were connected via HDMI. When I tried an optical connection on the trouble film/ATV, I did get movie sound, but it was unlistenable - a very bizarre channel phase/reverbed sound.
I tried all of Apple HDMI KBase HDMI audio suggestions, to no avail - and the fact that all other audio on the unit played fine makes me think its an encoding issue on the film. The problem existed whether I connected the ATV to the display directly, or via an HDMI-compatible AV receiver

Hard drive beachball problem for the 17"

Ok, so I know that there is already a few posts about this issue, (including the very large 96 page one) but I wanted to start a post for those of us with a 17" MBP that are having the same issues.
I was on the phone to a senior technician at Apple (Australia) today for about 2 hours trying to sort out this problem. Firstly he was a bit hazy about the issue to begin with assuming it was a RAM paging issue. Seriously, this thing has 4gb of ram, I think you would have to running so much stuff at once for it to legitimately run out of ram. I'm a web developer/designer so I can push the machine reasonable hard sometimes but I get the beachballs even when I only have safari and mail open. This is the fastest (stock) laptop Apple have ever produced, surely it can handle a bit of stick.
So I suggested it could be the hard drive/firmware etc and mentioned about the large amount of people on here with the exact same issue. After looking into some internal documentation he noted that there was indeed similar problems happening around the place but he seemed convinced that this only applied to 13" and 15" models and that the 17" never got the 1.7 firmware update.
After looking at the firmware page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 it seems maybe he's right. I can't see my boot ROM version there anywhere (MBP52.008E.B05) The mid 2009 model 17" isn't on that list.
Whilst my friend at Apple is reasonably sure that my issue is software related and wants me to watch the console when Im having the freezing, I'm positive that I'm having the exact same problem as the 13 and 15s.
Can other people with 17" MBP that are having the same issue please post here so that we can begin to build a case for Apple to acknowledge the problem for our model too? Please add whether you have installed a 3rd party hdd or whether you are having the problem despite only having the stock hdd like me.
Thanks guys.

soniktrooth, count me in. I am experiencing the same problem myself - I just recently posted over in the mega forum here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10222616#10222616
There is a chance that the hard disk could be at fault I guess, but the symptoms of this problem for me are remarkably similar to what I've read in the 96 page post, and on the macrumors forums. To summarise:
* the problem usually begins when I'm playing iTunes all day, and then I'll go to save something, say in TextMate, and then iTunes stops playing.
* Any app you then try to switch to while the freeze is there will then just beachball itself.
* Like you, I know this is something out of the ordinary, since iTunes rarely stops playing music, and hardly ever did on my 4 year old G5.
* I can make the problem go away by restarting and zapping the PRAM. All day today my computer has been fine, but I suspect that sometime tomorrow it'll probably start all over again.
* My drive is a factory Hitachi 5400 RPM drive... what do you have?
* My boot ROM version is the same as yours too.
* I have 8GB of RAM in this machine, so I'm pretty **** sure it's NOT a paging issue for me. paging issues never last 20-30 seconds though, that's absurd if anyone claims that is the cause... also, the hard disk doesn't really crank noticeably while the freeze is there.
I'm wondering if there was some sort of revision too for this model that may be causing this. Seems unlikely that Apple would have changed the motherboard between the january model and this one, but I'm not sure if this is absolutely confirmed...

This content requires HDCP for playback problem! Apple TV2

Owned Apple TV for two weeks. Two weeks ago, everything was fine for films already in my iTunes library.
This week, when selecting play on a movie, I get the message 'This content requires HDCP for playback problem' inconsistently. Some vids work, some don't. Then they do then they don't! I have tried on a Samsung TV and a Sony Bravia? Same for both!
How do I resolve this. I have tried different HDMI ports, turned Apple TV 2 off and on. Tried different cables (Although my HDMI cable is the one I purchased from Apple).
Any suggestions? Is it something Apple need to fix? This is kinda embarrassing when I tell friends how good Apple TV is, get them round to watch a movie and inconsistently get this.
Many Thanks for any help
Dave.

I too sadly have this handshaking issue. I'm in Phoenix, AZ. Day one buyer for ATV2. Worked all of about two days in terms of streaming HD content from either my MAC or netflix. About the third time i tried to stream HD content from Netflix or Blu Ray digital copies from my Mac, I get the HDCP compliance message stating my display is not authorized.
I have tried every concievable combination of unplugging and rebooting of TV (Samsung 2005 DLP), ATV2, and HDMI switcher (Monoprice) and nothing will work. My DirecTV HD-DVR works like a charm. If I rent an HD pay per view from DirecTV, no problem. If I rent an HD movie on iTunes, won't display it due to the HDCP issue. I've NOT ONCE had an issue with my DirecTV HDDVR having an HDCP compliance issue and of course its connected to my TV via HDMI thru my monoprice HDMI four port switch.
I guess the only other thing I could try is exchanging the unit itself. But everything else works as advertised. It feels like this is just a software issue that needs to be patched, and fast.
