Apple TV stops during movie.....

Last Thursday I downloaded from iTunes the movie TRON. I was watching it using iTV when about an hour into the movie it just stopped. The movie was fully downloaded. During my troubleshooting on my computer the TV screen went to screen saver and it brought up my photos as usual.
Since Thursday I have tried everything I can think of and found on the troubleshooting page, but to no avail. Computer, iTunes and iTv are all up to date. iTv has been restored. iTV recognizes my computer for I see the name of my library but that about it. After I restored iTV I no longer see my photos on the iTV screen saver. The message I keep receiving on the TV screen goes something like this: Apple TV can't find the library. Make sure you are on the same network and turn on home sharing". I have only one network and iTV confirms the network as well as showing a strong signal strength. Home sharing is turned on in iTunes and iTV as well as photo sharing.
Any ideas? It would be appreciated....

Ok, problem solved. ATV now works as advertised.
One of the first things I did when this problem arose was check my computer settings, including my anti-virus software VIRUS BARRIER. In VB I made sure that all firewalls were down and all data entering and leaving my computer was set to "no restrictions" and nothing worked. VB is set to download updates automatically. Apparently when this issue started it updated the program during the movie play thereby doing something to stop the movie from playing and my library not to load. Yesterday I went back into VB and noticed a master ON/OFF switch that was set to ON. I turned it off and once I did that my library was able to load and I am back in business. I could swear I never saw that switch before for I have had VB for over 2 years. Guess it was just one of those things I just overlooked.

    Why does my Apple Tv stop during movie several times to load. Very ANNOYING

    This will be due to the network.

  • Downloaded movie to apple tv stops playing movie after few minutes

    After a few minutes of watching a movie through Apple TV and Home sharing, the movie inexplicably stops and goes back to main menu.  This only started happening 2 days ago and I've had the Apple Tv for 6 months now with this issue not happening before.  Seems to maybe be linked to my comuter going into sleep mode, but again, it never used to do this.  And I'm not 100% sure of this fact.

    Hi,
    I had a more or less similar problem after upgrading to Itunes 11 and the upgrade on the appleTV. Videos just stopped without any message and went back to the main menu of AppleTV.
    My Itunes library is hosted on an Imac with a 6Tb firewire 800 connected disk.
    What really resolved it was to set the following options in ' System preferences'  , ' Energy saver' :
    Computer sleep: Never
    unselect ' put hard disk to sleep when possible'
    select all other options.
    After an Itunes restart it worked continuously without any interruption what so ever.  (+10 hours or so) .
    Hopes this helps you,

  • Keeps stopping during movies

    Every time I rent a movie from iTunes and watch on my Apple TV, the movie stops about 6-10 times. I am returned to the setup page where, after a couple of clicks on the remote I have the movie restarted.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Is it a common problem?

    Having the same problem. I think its a hardware issue. Helpline has suggested that it's a router problem but I don't think so. They suggested I try hard wiring it but I don't want to run cables across the house or pay to have someone put a ethernet point in my living room. I also have a ATV 1 wireless and it never misses a beat. All the other wireless devices in my house run fine.
    They also suggested I do a factory reset which I did. The first attempt failed and I had to do another one. This is what makes me think its a hardware issue because the first software download would not install.
    My ADSL2 speed is 13-16MBps so speed is not the problem.
    The status bar at the bottom of the screen is showing that the movie is fully loaded when this happens and has full signal strenght so it's not buffering just dropping back to the play menu.
    Very annoying considering how well my old ATV works.
    Called them back about this issue and still waiting for a reply

  • Apple TV stop during update

    Hello
    I have started to update our Apple TV but rapidly it has stopped! Since this time it has been blocked!

    Explain "stops". Updating is in two stages. Stage one is downloading the update. Stage two is loading the update to the ATV. During the update and loading steps the ATV will blank out for up to 15-20 seconds and the screen will be blank or even state "no signal". This is normal. I don't know why Apple updates to ATV works like this since one feels that the update has quit or has been dropped out.
    Just wait until the menu appears which signals the end of the update (sometimes 15 minutes). Even the menu will not respond for several minutes when it first appears.
    Don't know why ATV updates act like this. This has been normal ever since ATV came out. Guess it's too hard to fix.

  • Sound stops during movie, restart to fix

    i've searched around and the closest reference was : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=844795&#844795
    However, I haven't seen a fix yet so I will ask the question myself.
    When watching some movies (2hrs+ in length) my 5g ipod will suddenly freeze a couple minutes in and then resume without any sound. I have to exit the movie and restart it. The movie then resumes from where I left off and the sound is fine for a few more minutes.
    This does not happen on all movies. Any idea?

    If you've updated recently to the latest software (1.1), and you've used Videora to rip your DVDs, then that's the problem. It's well documented on this forum, and even the Videora home page has a note about it.
    The only solution to this is to revert to software version 1.0 which should be on the installation disk.

  • HT1657 Apple TV stopped my movie rental of 2 Guns after 20 min...pooph! kicked out. No option to see my rentals like I can with my purchases, so re-selected movie and pressed "Rent" again. Message said for me to go to downloads in Settings menu.....so I G

    Message told me to check for downloads in Settings....not very clear....I see others have had this issue since last update. I restarted from Settings and now I am Resetting and doing some sort of update...apparently this problem has been happening since Oct 2013, but I have not rented anything since then.....I am not likely to rent again from Itunes if this is not solved within minutes...wish me luck

    I had this same problem today after renting last night.  I could not find the rented movie and it seemed like i needed to rent it again even though it had been less than 24 hours.  To fix the problem i check to see if the apple tv was up-to-date with the latest software version.  In my case it was not.  I updated the apple tv to the lastest version and now rented movies was displayed along with the time left until the rental expires.  Try updating your apple tv to the lastest version.  Hope this helps.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Turbomedic.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • My Apple TV stops and returns to main menu during movie playback and photo slide show via homesharing. I have a second Apple TV in another room that works fine.

    My Apple TV stops and returns to main menu during movie playback and photo slide show via homesharing. I have a second Apple TV in another room that works fine.

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

    My apple tv  keeps stopping during the movie, I have a good internet connection but cant understand why?

    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • While watching rented movie it stops during playback, how do i fix it?

    I rented a long movie and it continues to stop during playback, how do I fix that?

    Hi dedesgirl,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is an issue playing songs in iTunes. Does the playback issue only occur with specific tracks and were they purchased from the iTunes Store? Take a look at the article linked below and try the suggestions which will resolve most iTunes and QuickTime Player playback issues.

    when i watch movies from the web with airplay on my apple tv stop every 2 minuts

    I have a similar issue with my Home Sharing.  Everything plays just fine on my Apple TV except when I try to play a movie using Home Sharing.  If I choose the same show or movie from the Purchased section of iTunes it works just fine but nothing ever loads for me on Home Sharing.
    Not the exact same issue, but very similar.  Good luck, I'm hoping to learn something here too!
