Apple TV & iPad 2: only connecting for a second?

I am having trouble using airplay to mirror my iPad 2 to my Apple TV. I tap the airplay button, select Apple TV (the check mark moves from iPad to Apple TV), turn mirroring on, then in about 10 seconds, it mirrors to the TV for about 1 second and the check mark moves back to iPad. Both devices are new, so I haven't been able to use the Apple TV at all yet. I can't use netflix through the ATV because it doesn't recognize my password. Any suggestions to fix either or both problems would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

MacBook Pro V 10.7.5 won't connect to the Internet. My other laptop works perfectly fine but and so is my iPad, but when I try to connect with the MacBook, it only connects for a few minutes or it does not connect at all. It's driving me nuts, help!

My wifi only connects for a few minutes then goes away, I've been trying to look for solutions on the Internet but none of them work, help! It's really frustrating.

Apple TV plays music from Itunes for 1 second only

The Apple TV sees all my music from Itunes and I can select any of the tracks but when I play one the music only plays for 1 second before stopping. Sometimes I'll hear the 1 second of music, sometimes not. I've reset all of my settings on the Apple TV. Music plays from Itunes out of my laptop when I have the device set to computer. If I select Apple TV as the device, the song wont play and just hangs, but on the television bottom left corner it will show the track information as though it was going to play for one second before it changes to a blank treble clef image labled "untitled". Any ideas?

If I play it from the ATV Menu : The Apple TV sees all my music from Itunes and I can select any of the tracks. When I play a track the music plays for 1 second and then stops. Sometimes I'll hear the 1 second of music, sometimes not.
If I play it from Itunes via airplay : The song wont play at all and just hangs, but on the bottom left corner of the TV (that the apple tv is connected to) it will show the track information (Album image + song name) as though it was going to play, but one second later it changes the track information to a blank note image labled "untitled" and no music.

How to disable iMessage for an old Apple ID which is only used for AppStore?

How to disable iMessage for an old Apple ID which is only used for AppStore?
I used my old Apple ID for iMessage and AppStore Apps. Now I'm using my iCloud Account (second Apple ID) on my Mac as iCloud and iMessage Account.
New Apple ID - iCloud & iMessage (**** thing that I can't use my okd Apple ID for iMessage and another for iCloud) on new Mac
Old Apple ID - AppStore, iMessage days ago
So now how to disable the iMessage function for my old Apple ID which isn't used anymore?
Thank you!

Yeah the problem is that I want to be reachable by:
*new apple id
*mobile number
Earlier:
*old apple id
*mobile number
Problem - if I set in Settings => Messages => Receive at:
*new apple id
*mobile number
Others still can see my old apple id as "iMessage" although it isn't used a iMessage anymore. So how to disbale iMessage function for that?

Can't import songs and ones in library only play for 45 seconds

I'm in the process of moving my music collection to a new computer with a bigger hard drive. I installed the latest version of iTunes on the new computer, copied all the folders and contents of the itunes folder to the new computer in the same location.
I bought a couple new songs successfully but now I can't add any of the files from my previous computer to the new library. I was able to import a few songs that iI purchased when on my original machine but now they only play for 45 seconds and jump to the next song in the playlist (if check) And now when I drag and drop songs on the Library to import them absolutely nothing happens.
And yes, the new computer is authorized and the permissions on the folders are read / write.
Any one have an idea of how to fix this? If not, I just going to burn all my songs to CD and import them that way and say so long to iTunes... just too much BS to just move a music library!

Sounds like the PC's authroization file is messed up, or else the iTUnes preferences files.
Follow the directions in this article, the SC Info file holds the PC authroization for iTMS songs.
iTunes Does Not Open After Upgrading
And also deleted these 2 preferecnes files:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
They will all get rebuilt when you open iTunes the next time. It should ask for authorization one last time, is all.

HT1567 trying to preview song but only plays for 5 seconds

When i preview a song it will only play for 5 seconds instead of the 1min/half it allows. I 've never had this problem before. I update the software, but it still will not allow me to listen to the song no more tham 5 seconds

I have had this problem for quite awhile. Sometimes the preview plays all the way through, or not. I had it in the previous version and now the new version. There is no help from Apple/iTunes. It seems odd that WE must continue to try and find the solution to THEIR errors without any comments or help from Apple.

I bought an album on iTunes and 3 of the songs only play for 30 seconds. I have tried re-downloading the album 3 times and the problem has not been fixed. I would like some help please and thank you.

The Song I just purchased only plays for a second. How do I fix this?

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking them to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTune) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Podcasts only playing for 20 seconds?

Hi,
The new interface does not list times for my podcast, like the previous one did.
My podcast episodes only play for 20 seconds from the iTunes store now, but play fully and have a time when downloaded.
How do I fix this?

Which "interface" are you referring to, the iTunes Store, your iTunes Podcast Library or your iPod (in which case, which model of iPod)?
I assume that you are referring to the Store. I've just checked and it took me several attempts to find a Podcast in the Store without times listed. I think, for the time to be listed in the Store then that information needs to be included in the "tag information" completed by the Podcaster when they create their Podcasts. In other words, if you want to "fix" it, you'll need to contact the shows producers. I wouldn't hold out much hope of them meeting your expectations in this respect.

Surely what plays in the Store is only a preview, it's never meant to be the complete episode. To hear all of it, download it, that's what Podcasts are all about. In case you didn't know, Podcasts are not located in the iTunes Store. All the iTunes Store does is list them, and if you choose to download one, the Store instructs the server (where ever that particular Podcast is stored) to download to your library. So I'm surprised to hear that you ever managed to listen to a complete episode direct from the Store. That would be "Streaming", not Podcasting.

You are the second person to complain of this new phenomenon. What you and he have in common is that neither of your feed contains the 'itunes:duration' tag, which is why the duration is not displaying (it displays when subscribing only once the episode is downloaded).
My guess - and it is a guess - is that when this tag is missing the Store defaults to playing only the first 30 seconds. My own podcast includes this tag, and the Store displays the durations and plays the complete episode.
So you should add this tag to your feed: please see the earlier thread -
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2325024&tstart=0
As you are using Podbean I can't advise on how you would do this; presumably it provides a placed where you can enter the duration.
If you need to post further queries on this or any other matter could I ask you always to include the URL of your feed (please include the http://) as well as the iTunes Store URL.

I bought an album and one song only plays for 8 seconds

I bought an album and one song only plays for 8 seconds then skips to the next song why is this? How can i fix it?

Hi bholdrofjustice,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to delete the song that doesn't play, and download it again using the steps in this article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If the song still skips after 8 seconds, you can report an issue with your purchase:
