Apple TV stopping half way through movie. Got the "spinning wheel" then it said "unexpected error occurred". I can go back

Issue with Apple TV stopping have way through a movie purchased from iTunes. Says "unexpected error occurred" and will allow us to go back and view earlier parts of the movie but not to go forward from this point. Any suggestions?

Having a very similar problem here. Apple TV Rental movie 2/3 way through. Great movie, though we had major download speed probs initially. Trouble is it now keeps on saying "unexpected error, try again later" or somesuch, and has done for several hours.  Rental period finishes tomorrow when we'll all be at work. Night-time here in Australia. Thought we might be able to finish it on my Mac at least. Nup. Can't play AppleTV rentals on your Mac! Family not happy! No, that is understating it. Family ^*&^ing furious. "Why did you waste money on that thing when we could have got it out on DVD, or Netflicks, or Easyflicks, or just pirated it, or.....". I guess you get the picture!

  • Track purchased from iTunes stops half way through & Jumps to the next track on both computer & iPod

    Purchased album from iTunes. One track stops half way through & jumps to the next track on both computer & iPod.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Songs and Videos Stopping Half Way Through

    I've had my Iphone for 8 months and last week it broke i sent it to apple and they gave me a brand new iphone.
    I syned it up and my songs and videos stop half way through and start the next song..
    It did that on my old iphone also..
    It's very annoying.
    Same with sometimes glitchy music videos that i've bought through itunes so I know it isnt codec related..

    Welcome to the forums.
    You can fix the songs by simply converting to AAC -- I promise you this will work.
    Videos could indeed be a coding issue -- the iPhone is pretty particular about what it will play and unless you encoded them yourself (using a quality program like Handbrake with the iPhone preset) your best bet is to reencode them.

  • My ipod stops half way through step 1 when I am syncing

    I[od touch stops half way through step q which i backing up

    I would try moving the existing backup to a safe place since there may be some corruption that is causing the problem.  The backup file is located hre:
    The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7).

  • Audio stops half-way through clip

    Audio on movie clips stops half-
    way through.  This isn't downloaded music, but rather the background audio of the clips.  Any suggestion
    s?

    The footage appears the same from the Sony.
    The full audio plays in the Organizer and from the clip in the project panel.  The waveform shows for the entire length of the clip in the timeline.
    I didn't see the blue progress bar you spoke about, but the program just went through the process of importing the clips and then the organizer opened.
    Thanks.

    Plz help
    My mac won't boot up it goes to a apple sign then the spin thing then gives me a error msg on a 10.5.8 imac what do I do?

    Hi LIsa,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Or..
    Tough without the Install Disk problems, but try fsck...
    To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
    1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup.
    Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
    2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
    (SPACE between fsck AND -fy important)
    3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
    The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK
    If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
    ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
    Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
    4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.

    My ipod touch shut down for no reason. now when i try to turn it on again, it goes to the apple icon to the spinning wheel, then it repeats.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
