Apple tv has started to blank out words with *****s in film descriptions

What's up with apple tv descriptions of movies, it's putting ***'s in words everywhere.
The Border - the word action is spelt a**n
Entourage - Johnny Walker is spelt J**y Walker
Other films - Hot is spelt h*t
How do I stop this? Is it another bug???

Apple TV has started blacking out

Apple TV has started blacking out completely for a few seconds, then coming back onsceen skipping content played during those seconds. More and more frequent until recently it will be several minutes before I can even get a screen to turn it off. At first, it seemed to be associated with play time, like it might be overheating or something. Clueless. I have done software updates and even a factory reset.

I am experiencing something similar. My blackout is very brief - about 1 full second - and audio playback continues through my AV receiver during this blackout. In other words, the Apple TV continues to stream whatever I am watching but the video signal is briefly lost. I've tested different HDMI-in ports on my TV as well as different HDMI-outs on my AV receiver, and I am almost positive it is the Apple TV that is failing. I am unable to replicate the blackout via any other device (TiVo, bluray, etc.) I am going to start regularly rebooting the Apple TV to see if that helps. Any other feedback is hugely appreciated. Thanks!

I have an original iPad running 5.1.1. It has started throwing me out of safari to the point it is now unusable. Have tried everything including full restore but problem persists?

Try a few things:
First, try double tapping the home button. You should see a row of apps at the bottom; these are your recenty opened apps. Hold your finger down on any of the icons until they start to shake, and a red minus() appears. Tap the red minus for each app. This will close the app, not delete it. If you have too many apps open, this can cause crashes.
If it still crashes, try the basic troubleshooting steps here:

My MBP has started to send out TCP packets larger than the MTU on the NIC - is there any place that this can be overriden?

Got a very weird issue here and wondering if anyone has any other ideas. Basically over the wired NIC only, my Mac has started to send out large HTTP/HTTPS packets from the browser (> 1500 bytes) Captures show packet sizes from 2000 all the way to 4000 sometimes. This happens in Firefox and Chrome so doesn't appear to be application related.
This causes fragmentation issues and traffic drops which basically causes most of my websites and tools to crash and burn (and I get all sorts of SSL errors from applications, etc).
It appears to be limited to just TCP packets as pings with the DF bit set will not send any larger than 1500 bytes.
However if I switch to wireless, everything works fine and captures show the correct maximum packet size of 1500 for all packets leaving my client.
The MTU on the en0 interface is 1500 as per ifconfig and I made sure that it was set to 1500 in Network config panel (because there is an option for jumbo frames there which bumps up the MTU).
A packet capture also shows that during the three way handshake the TCP MSS is successfully sent and negotiated as 1480, but then it appears to ignore that when sending packets later in the TCP stream.
I've rebooted, upgraded to 10.7.4, checked the "sysctl" outputs and matched against a Mac not having the issue.
This is the newest MBP 15 inch model.
Any other ideas on things to check?

Have you used any sort of "tuner" software? You are obviously an advanced user. Sometimes we hack things up and forget about it later. If you are sure you didn't do that, maybe poke around with IPv6 settings. Supposedly people are trying to enable that and it is going to be a disaster.

Dear Apple, Have you fixed the 'Time out' issue with airport? It now happens to me 2-3 times a day for the past 6 months. Answers please.

We're not Apple - these boards are user-to-user.
Your profile says 10.7.3 - try applying the 10.7.5 combo update.

My Ipad2 has started adding letters between words when I type. The letters are usually, but not always, m. I use Safari browser. Can't figure this one out!

Adding to the question I posted, my iPad will string words together by inserting letters (usually m, but sometimes n) between. Even when I back up and delete the extra letter, it will pop up again until the second delete. So it's in autocorrect? Have I taught my device to do this by being a sloppy typist?

Try asking in the iPad forum. This forum is for iPhones being used in an Enterprise (corporate) environment.

HT4367 my Apple TV has started freezing several times during the show im watching

Has anyone had an problems with Apple TV freezing durning a show? if so how can i fix this.

I had this issue with both our Apple TVs and it turned out to be a bad router.
The router was generating enough radio interference on the Wi-Fi channels the Apple TVs used that they could not hold the signal, and were constantly associating/disassociating with the bad router.
I figured this out by monitoring the status logs on the Time Machine - Advanced tab, and seeing an associate/disassociate message every five seconds or so.
Removing the bad router fixed the problem.

Voice Memo on iphone 5 has started to cut out at the 25.40 mark.

I have been using the voice memo function on the iphone without any issues with it recording to any length desired.
I use it to record interviews and podcasts. However, last night, without warning, it has decided to just stop recording at the 25.40 mark. At first I thought it was something that I did but then during a second interview, it cut out at exactly the same time again.
I have recently updated to IOS7 but have used the voice memo since without problems so I doubt its the update that has caused this.
Anyone know of any fixes?
Thanks

I have a 5c, and here is how I was able to trim a test recording:
1. Open the recording file in Voice Memos.
2. Tap "Edit" at the bottom. It's between the arrow-up symbol and trash can.
3. On the right side, near the bottom-right corner you'll see a blue box with a round blue dot at the top-left corner of it, and another one at the bottom-right. This is the Trim button. Tap it.
4. You should now see the recording with the "wavelengths", a vertical blue line (with a blue dot at top and bottom), and on each side a red line (also with red dot at top/bottom).
5. Touch the left red line and you'll notice you can touch/drag it to the beginning point of your desired portion of the recording.
6. Touch the right red line and touch/drag it for the recording's end point.
7. Hit the Play button to play just the trimmed portion, making sure it's what you want.
8. Once it's what you want, touch "Trim". Up pops "Trim Original" or "Save as New Recording".
On emailing it, go to the trimmed copy and click the arrow-up symbol, which will allow you to either message or email it.
EDIT: I found you can name your recording file to what you want by tapping the default name of it. A cursor will appear where then you can delete and retype a custom file name. Great for emailing so you recipients will know what it is by looking at it.

My iPad has started to sign out of all applications and go back to home screen is this an known issue and can this be fixed??? :(

Today, the Apple TV has started to hiss with s's.

We've used Apple TV for over a year with few problems. But, today we suddenly are getting bad audio. The actor's speeches have pronounced and annoying s's like hissing. It doesn't have this sound for regular cable TV. Only on Apple TV shows.

the way it works is buy design. it's not meant for permanent storage of media... think if it as big video iPod... that's how it works. permanent storage is the iTunes Folder.
you can put your entire iTunes Folder onto the time capsule or just put some of your media there (maybe just movies) and just press and hold ctrl as you drag them into iTunes and they won't be copied into the iTunes folder... just the path to them will be added to the iTunes library.. or you can add a USB HDD to the time capsule or plug into powerbook (1TB is about $60 these days if you look) and then back up to the time capsule.
the other thing is that appleTV cannot be backed up so if you were to store things there... one HDD failure there, or error requiring a restore and boom all your stuff is gone..
