Apple TV stops playing show right in the middle of it.

I have purchased and downloaded a number of different TV shows onto my MAC and then synch them with the Apple TV. They show up on the ATV menu. However, when I play one of the shows, it stops in the middle of the show and then the menu on the ATV pops up again and the shows are not on the menu. So I have to go back to itunes on my MAC and play around with it until the shows show up on my ATV menu again. What am I doing wrong here?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Go to advanced-->check for purchases. This should allow you to download the remaining music.

The movie I rented on iTunes has stopped right in the middle of the movie because it hasn't finished loaded. How do I get it to start playing again before the rental expires?

Hello zooeyme,
I'd suggest reporting the issue to the folks in our iTunes Store.

When I plug in my iPod touch 5th generation the small battery in the top right hand corner shows the charged sign. The big battery that shows up in the middle still shows it is charging. I've already been 2 the apple store & it didn't help any. Any ideas?

She restarted it or something. I don't know the exact process but she said don't worry the only thing you'll lose is your background. But I took a picture of the screen when it is charging so I have proof

Non-Apple content stops playing at 1-minute, 23-seconds on iPod(s)

For some reason my iPod(s) only seamlessly play through my imported music or Apple purchased files. For example, I use cd Baby, Amazon, and eMusic, as well as iTunes for downloading music and everything is played through my default player (iTunes); however, when I try to listen to my iPod via headphones or wirelessly, any non-Apple content stops playing at 1:23--everytime. So, if I were in the shower and listening to my iPod via one of my wireless bluetooth speakers and I forget the source of where it came from (Apple vs. non-Apple) then I could be without music. I cannot figure out why my iPod (I have several iPods and one is brand new) always wants to stop at 1-minute, 23-seconds for any content not purchased from Apple.
As you can imagine, this becomes quite a mess when listening to a playlist. As a result, I find myself having to skip to the next song quite a bit now. Anyone else have this issue or have a suggestion?
Wasn't an issue until iTunes 10 and later.
Thanks.

Sounds to me like it needs to go back to Apple again. Frustrating I know.
I suppose you could try a format of the iPod in Windows. A full format does a check and remap of bad sectors on the iPod hard drive, and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward.
First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
To exit forced disk mode, reset the iPod.

I am having the sames issues. I was on the phone with Apple over the weekend. I was told they would report it to their engineers. It would seem this problem occurred first in May and June and was resolved from what I have read this morning in past discussions, yet seems to be reoccurring again as of this weekend.

My iPhone 5s has stopped playing music out of the speakers. It works when I plug in my headphones but other than that there's no sound. It just randomly happened so I'm not sure if I can fix it or if I need to bring my phone in

Hi Cassilecompte,
If you are not getting any sound from your iPhone’s speaker, you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

IT tunes music - some, a lot, of songs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried re - downloading / updating but no joy? can anyone help its most annoying

Yes, in theory re-converting would lessen the quality further. However, I have heard people claim (unsubstantiated) that if you are encoding with the same encoder at the same bit rate, then since it will use the same algorthymn, it won't really change the file. I have absolutely no idea if that is true or not.
But... I figure some slight loss in quality re-encoding is still better quality than a song that only plays half way and then stops, right? I suppose you could always tag those files in the comment section with something like "Re-Encoded" and then later if you gain access to your old CDs, you can then make a Smart Playlist to gather those songs and then re-rip them again from your CDs.
Cheers,
Patrick

I brought an album and one song plays half way and then just stops playing and skips to the next song

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Delete the songs and redownload by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT201335 Using mirroring with my apple tv and everthing shows up on the tv untill i try to watch a movie, i get the sound but no picture. I checked and both are on the same wifi?

Using mirroring with my apple tv and everthing shows up on the tv untill i try to watch a movie, i get the sound but no picture. I checked and both are on the same wifi?

I had this problem also. Several times in fact. And it has not been any relation with sw update (Apple TV). I managed to fix this on a strange way. I drop off WiFi in iMac and joined back. Right after thatI tried to adjust Airplay settings, but I didn't manage. Reason was that my iMac didn't found any Airplay devices (?). After about 2-3 minutes iMac recognized my Apple TV. And also audio "posting" to Apple TV started to work.
So restart your WiFi connection on your iMac or MacBook Pro - it may help.
Another hint is to use command: "sudo killall coreaudiod". More information about that: http://wwwx.cs.unc.edu/~cquammen/wp/2011/02/18/resetting-audio-on-mac-os-x/
I have not tried this, but maybe next time

TS1424 I just purchased a song and it stops right in the middle of song. How can I get the complete song I paid for?

I just purchased a song and for some reason it did not completely download the song. It stops right in the middle of the song.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
ipconfig /flushdns
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
Now try your music again.

ITunes has stopped working right in the middle of updating my new iPhone 4 software...

I just bought the iPhone 4 (not 4S) and plugged in into iTunes. It did a lot of updating and downloading. It says right now under Summary, Software Version: 5.1. And the Updating iPhone software bar has stopped moving right in the middle of the line. My iPhone has that image of the USB with the white arrow below the iTunes logo on the screen right now.
I cannot exit iTunes or the pop-up will say that the iPhone is being updated, do not exit iTunes.
I am really unsure of what to do here. I tried two different iPhone USB plug-ins and that didn't help.

First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".

IPhone 4, stopped 6.0 upgrade in the middle of install, and now I just get the blinking apple. Can't even get it to restore or recognize my phone when I plug into the computer/itunes....

TS3700 why does my music stop playing when i press the sleep/wake buttom? it says the screen turns off but the music should be playing

why does my music stop playing when i press the sleep wake button? it says that the screen should turn off bu the music should still keep playing

This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in. Make sure the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen.
If you are 100% positive that the earbuds are all the way in, double check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris and/or damage.
