Apple TV starts screensaver while watching programming

The last couple weeks, my Apple TV will start up the screensaver while watching MLB content. Not all the time though. It's pretty random,
Any ideas?

Try going to Settings and Check for Downloads - if youve started watching however, beware the 24 hour/48 hour (US/soem countries) is ticking.
If you've lost it contact itunes store support.

  • I have a Macbook pro mid 2011 and just bought the Apple TV. While watching program or movie from any of the apps such as Watch ABC, the program keeps stopping and starting constantly.

    That would indicate a network issue.
    Reboot ATV and router
    Make sure DNS is set to auto
    Ensure router is up to date, if on wifi try ethernet
    Go to istumbler.net to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

  • No sound while watching program in firfox

    no sound while watching program in firefor

    Did you use iTunes to convert the videos? If so you shouldn't it doesn't do it right. You should use another program. Use MPEG streamclip it converts it pretty well with sound. http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html

  • How come apple tv resets itself while watching a program?

    How come the unit resets itself while watching a program? It is all good then the screen just goes blank!
    Please Help!

    Just because you have a strong signal it doesn't mean you don't have interference.
    However do you have any long audio tracks you can try, you could try stitching 10 or so together in QuickTime and testing to see if the problem persists.

  • Does the Apple TV use data when watching movies or TV shows?

    Does Apple TV use data while watching movies and TV shows with iPad air or iPhone 5?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That largely depends on the Apple TV setting at settings > airplay. The Apple TV can download the content from the internet (if available) or from you iPads storage depending on whether you have it set to play from iTunes in the cloud or not.
    Of course if you don't have the content on the iPad, it will download it from the the internet and if you do and choose not to use the iTunes in the cloud feature it may use a small amount of data confirming your authorisation to play it.

  • Screensaver starts while while watching Quicktime Movies

    We've got kind of aproblem with my friend's eMac 1.25:
    The screensaver starts while while watching Quicktime movies.
    Does anyone know why this happens (without putting the mouse in the "screensaver-corner"!)?

    I didn't try it with iMovie, but this must be the same problem. And it is only a problem with the eMac, not with my iMac (G4 or G5 doesn't matter).
    Changing the perfs for the screensaver to 2 hours or never isn't really the solution, because I'd like the screensaver to do his job, when the Mac is not in use (but don't like him when the Mac is in use)...

  • Screensaver starts while watching a DVD!

    Is there any way to stop the screensaver activating while watching a DVD in DVD Player... besides disabling the screensaver altogether?
    I wouldn't normally use a screensaver at all, but my Mac MIni is connected to a plasma TV, and I just want to make sure I don't get any burned in images if I accidentally left it on for a while.

    Disable screen saver altogether and use Energy Saver's "Put the display(s) to sleep..." instead.
    It will have the side effect of saving on your power bills
    The last time I checked (on Tiger) this doesn't work very well for Plasma TVs (the screen goes to sleep fine, but doesn't wake up), but I'll give it another go.

  • Voice keeps dropping while watching Apple TV

    While watching Apple TV movies and such, the voice seems to keep dropping out.  If I rewind it and play again it is there, but this keeps happening throughout the entire movie.  Have to keep rewinding and starting.  Almost like it cannot keep up with audio and video at same time.  I am using OS X 10.10.4 and the older version of the Airport express, about 6 in square.  The Apple TV is about 4 years old.  Could that be going bad?  Any Ideas?

    Well, I tried something this morning.  I restarted the Apple TV.  Under General Tab and on Restart.  This seems to clear up the problem.  Not really sure why, but it worked.  Thank you for your answer in this and that is what I was looking to do.  Thank god I don't have to as of now.

  • While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I'm not sure what you are asking, but if you want to watch TV stations you can watch on your mac in a web browser on the Apple TV instead, I'm sorry you can't do that.

  • TS3116 I download a movie and while watching it freezes or pauses.  I have apple tv first generation.  What is the problem?  I can watch trailers just fine.

    I am having problems with my First Generation Apple TV.  My software is up-to-date. 3.0.2.
    I download a movie and while watching in pauses and freezes for as long as a minute sometimes.  I have already checked with my ISP regarding network issues.  There are none.  I can view trailers with no freeze or pause issues.  Just the actual movie when I download.  Is there something I am missing here?

    You must have a slower connection if it took 2.5 hours, did you pause it or exit out to the main screen? I've paused movies many times and it resumes..it could be due to the connection as well  so what is your actual speed? Check www.speedtest.net Wifi or ethernet? Have you changed the DNS settings?

    What is your internet speed? www.speedtest.net
    6mbps is required for instant HD rentals, you can turn off HD in the settings if on a slow connection
    You can also rent in iTunes and stream to ATV
    Wifi or ethernet?
