AppleTV- Error loading content, please try again later

I'm so frustrated that I'm ready to rip my hair out.
Some of my movies just wont play no matter what I do. I have about 50 movies in iTunes and I can get about 3 of them to stream to my TV via AppleTV. I have no idea why some movies wont play and some will? I've seen a lot of this problem online searching through forums, but haven't found a solution that has worked.
The movies play in iTunes just fine, but when I swith it to AppleTV via iTunes, or try to load them directly via AppleTV I get the "This content can't be loaded. Please try again later" error. It's constantly happening. All the movies show up in my library, they just wont load or play. What gives?
I have home sharing turned on and I just don't understand why one movie will play, but others never will.

I'm afraid we can't answer questions about converting from DVD's. It's against the Terms of use for these forums.
In case it's any help at all, these are the specifications used by the Apple TV.

    Firstly, I should have typed speedtest.net previously.
    Now that's an interesting comment you make, out of interest do you have any purchased HD movies in your iTunes collection, if so, do they play on the Apple TV with your new tv.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.

  • Error During Purchase: Please try again later

    We have created an app that has free content and are now trying our first in-app purchase. We've updated the app with the in-app purchase and have gotten Apple's approval and it is now available for download on the App store. The problem we are having is that some users are able to download the in-app purchase folio with no problems, while others are getting this error: "Error During Purchase: Please try again later." We are not seeing any differences between the iPad's/app versions being used. The latest versions of iOS and of the app are producing these inconsistent errors. For the ones having errors, we have tried deleting and reinstalling the app, but still getting the same error message. Any advice on what could be going on?

    Bob,
    answering your questions:
    - Did you use the same Product ID when creating the in-app purchase and publishing the folio?
    Yes, I'm using the same Product ID. So, after publishing the folio, it appears at my in-app test.
    - Are the retail folios set as public?
    If I publish a free issue, I can test the download. The problem is when I set it as retail. The issue and the price appears, but when I try to make the purchase, after I confirm my purchase with an Apple test user, with the [Environment: Sandbox], it says: "ERROR DURING PURCHASE - Please try again later"
    - Are your in-app purchases cleared for sale?
    I think so. When I published, I've set as Public, Retail and the same Product ID I used at iTunnes Connect. So, when I'm testing at my in-app, the folio appears. Is there any other place I have to go?
    Regards,
    Filipe.

  • While ordering book:'Unexpected error has occurred, please try again later'

    Hello,
    Not sure if this is a suitable forum, but when I was using Iphoto '08 V7.1.3 (latest version), and I tried to purchase an album, the following error always appeared : "Unexpected error has occurred, please try again later".
    It always appears after iphoto has transfered all the data across after I click 'Buy Now'. And it is driving me crazy!
    I called up apple support and have tried to do whatever they told me to, which includes:
    1) Creating a new album
    2) Creating a new apple i.d.
    but its all futile! The dreaded message always appears!
    Does anyone know if theres any way I can just SEND THE THING over manually, in a CD or something, cos I really want the album book! Or, do any technical guys here have any idea?? Im also kinda tired of waiting on the hold line on the phone!

    I wish I could help - but I am having the same exact problem. It is totally frustrating to make the book and then go through all the steps only to have the same message appear.

  • An error occured. Please try again later

    Hi,
    After some browsing, I see that this is quite the popular subject out there, with no clear lines as how to solve it.
    Short summary;
    Youtube saying: "An error occured. Please try again later"
    I have tried literally anything. Clearing history, caches, reinstalling, updating, you name it. If this doesn't get fixed soon, my next solution will be to use physical tools on my laptop. With exceptionary force. Maybe even violence.
    I am currently using the newest version of firefox, and I would like to keep it that way.
    Please help me, as I am quite frustrated... Anyone!

    After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

    Got it! Thanx.  What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

  • Why do videos embedded in facebook and livejournal posts say "an error has occurred, please try again later" when I click on them?

    Videos embedded in facebook and livejournal posts say "an error has occurred, please try again later" when I click on them. (This doesn't happen in Internet Explorer.) I have the latest flash player, and the only firewall in use is Windows Firewall. Popups are blocked.

    Thanks for the welcome and the reply!
    I looked at KB25882 and my settings are good, so that didn't help.
    I had this problem over a year ago, and someone at RIM found a bit set that shouldn't have been set and fixed it (that is my terminology for what happened).
    I am really looking for a way to contact RIM directly.  I hate going through the mill with my carrier to get it escalated to RIM for resolution......  <sigh>
    Hi mgpainter 
                                Most easiest way to Contact RIM is through your Carrier but as you don't prefer that than there is another way of support called Incident Based Support but just want to inform you that its not free.If you want have a try  BlackBerry Incident Based Support .
    Good Luck

  • Whenever I try to view a video on youtube, I get "An error occurred. Please try again later."

    I am using the latest version of Firefox (4.0.1) and Shockwave Flash plugin (10.3.181.14) on a Windows Vista machine. Whenever I try to view a video on youtube, I get "An error occurred. Please try again later." If I restart in safe mode, everything works fine. I figure that the problem stems from a extension incompatibility, but cannot figure out which one. I haven't installed a new plugin recently.

    Do you have an example of such a video?
    If you went to m.youtube.com did you switch to "Desktop" mode at some point? If so, switch back to "Mobile version" (at bottom of page).
