ATV3 cuts out while playing radio

I have the latest Apple TV, bought about 6 weeks ago and have been using it for all this time with no issues. I believe I have all the latest firmware. However, lately it's started going dead while I'm using it. No known network issues or connection issues. It seems to happen while I'm listening to the Radio app. There's a brief flash of snow and then the picture goes black and the sound stops. The ATV light is still on steady. Even when I hit Menu and Down to reboot, it sometimes crashes immediately upon rebooting. The problem now seems intermittent and unpredictable. It might work fine some sessions, other sessions it will crash, even when nothing is happening and only the app menu is showing.
It was behaving so nicely, until this happened. What can I do to clear this up?

Hello ebedgert,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First I'd like you to please restore your Apple TV.

IPod continues to cut-out while playing

I've posted this before, and I've seen other threads regarding this issue -- my iPod randomly stops playing songs and goes back to the main iPhone menu.
I was, unfortunately, forced to reload my iPhone last weekend because the world clocks did not work. After I reloaded, I found that this cutting-out issue stopped. Yay!
However, last night I added new songs (some from iTunes store, others from various CDs). iTunes found some of the album art for me, a few of them I had to add the art manually.
Today, I'm having the music cutting-out issue again. It has happened 6x so far (since about 9:00AM - so 3 hours). 4 of those times I was doing nothing to the iPhone, it was just sitting on my desk next to me. 1 time it happened when I was adjusting the volume and the other time it happened when I was changing the view so I could view album art (turning the iPhone sideways).
I've already turned my iPhone off and back on, hoping this problem would go away (it didn't). Please don't tell me that I have to reload my iPhone every single time I add new songs to my library.
Has there been any "official" response to this issue? Does anyone know when we're getting a patch for iTunes?
I'm getting pretty frustrated with this problem. My husband is experiencing the same issue, though he doesn't use his iPod nearly as much as I do. We spent $1,300 -- can we not get the basic functionality, at least?

The sound cuts out while a track is playing in iTunes. Are their any fixes for this?

The sound on my iPhone 4S cuts out when playing music/podcasts.

The sound on my iPhone 4S cuts out when playing music/podcasts. If I unplug and replug in the headphones, the sound comes back on, but often for only 20 seconds or so before cutting out again. Sometimes it will play for 15-20minutes before cutting out. The track is not "paused", and appears to continue, just no sound. I tried cleaning the headphone jack with compressed air to no avail. I also noticed the the same phenomenon occurs when I sync my bluetooth to my car audio. That is, it will play for a while, then the sound will cut out, even though the track is still shown to be playing. If I reset the bluetooth, the sound comes back on.
This started happening about a week ago, but no "event" that I can think of caused it. I didnt' get the phone wet, forcefully drop it, or leave it in extreme heat. I've tried doing a reset of the phone. I also was running iOS5 when I first noticed this, and since upgraded to iOS6. The problem appeared with both.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

One thing that helped was getting a toothbrush and scrubbing the dock connector on the phone. I scrubbed the connector and used compressed air for about 1/2 hour till the connector looked much cleaner. An Apple employee told me that the pins on the phone had a little corrosion and sand. The problem hasn't gone away completely, but has been significantly reduced. I'm going to hold out until my contract expires after which time I'll switch to an iPhone5 (or newer) or Android phone.

Ipod cuts off while playing

Suddenly, my ipod within my iPhone cuts off while playing in the shuffle mode. Most times this occurs while I have it in my pocket and am moving, but I have no idea whether this matters or not. It will either cut off completely or skip to the next song after cutting off in the middle of the previous song. Is there something that I can do to fix this?

I have the same issue. The phone works fine if I am sitting around, no problems listening to hours of music. I ride my bike and have the phone in my jersey pocket and after about 15-30min it starts going into an auto pause mode to the point I can no longer listen. This is very annoying and I think it must have something to do with the motion sensing causing the pauses.

Cutting out while listening to iTunes Radio using Airport

Using iTunes 7.0.1radio connected to a 24kbps station (WUMB) via an Airport Extreme wireless to my Macbook then to an Airport express connected to stereo...it cuts out for a second every minute. Doesn't happen when listening to other stations or to my music library. Didn't happen with my iBook. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

That should be iplayer in the title....

Music cutting out while using airplay

I just configured my Airport Express as a client to an existing wireless network. I don't know for sure but the existing network is probably not being provided by an Airport router.
I was successful but when I try to play songs via iTunes to my stereo, the songs are constantly interrupted. It will play fine for a few seconds or ten seconds or sometimes 30 seconds, but then it will stop for a while and then start up again.
I've tried reconfiguring the Airport Express, enabling Interference Robustness and restarting the Airport Express using the admin software and by unplugging. Nothing is working yet.
Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thank you!

i am reaching a breaking point. Things are going from bad to worse . . .
I moved my new AE into the same room where my other (main base) AE was, thinking that the issue may have been that the two were having a hard time "seeing" each other and thus were dropping connections. At first, this seemed to be an improvement; when playing songs through my remote (second) AE, the music was cutting out much less frequently. Instead of dropping the music every few seconds, it would only cut out about once a song. And it improved over time; by about the fifth song, it wasn't cutting out at all.
However, I then tried to play music through the stereo I have connected to my original (main base) AE, the problems started all over again. iTunes was totaly unable to establish a connection to the stereo on the main base AE. It would say "connecting to remote speakers", and when it was "done" connecting, nothing would happen. No music would play, and the status bar on the iTunes song would stay frozen and not move.
I'll note that at no time have I ever had significant problems playing music through my main base. We've had that main base for 6 months and been very happy with it's performance, except for not being able to get to cover the whole apartment with a reliable wireless signal (which is what I was hoping to remedy by buying a second one).
This also started affecting my internet connection! After having the two AEs in the same room for about a half hour, I suddenly could no longer get any web pages to load, and network speed in the OS X Activity Monitor dropped to below 10 KB/sec, even though I was trying to load several webpages at a time.
Thankfully, when I unplugged the second (non-main) AE, performance on my main base station returned to normal. I will continue to try and troubleshoot this, but the conclusion I am drawing at this point is that although the AEs work great individually, they don't work very well together. This is very disappointing, considering Apple touts how "easy" it is supposed to be to link these together.
I did read on another thread that sometimes the AE will just crap out and die over time. Perhaps my used ebay purchased AE is just shot.

Why do Songs cut off while playing on ipod??

My songs que cut off the last 20-15 seconds while playing on my ipod touch 4gen
Not all of them. Just a few.

I am having the same issue on my iPod Touch. I restored it (for other reasons), after having had to replace the HD in my desktop (which became a different computer). Bottom line, what used to work now doesn't. One of the things I found is that, if I redownload a tune that is cutting off from iTunes and delete the old one, the new one is OK (or, was the case in this particiular experiment). This is by no means efficient, however I think I can make it work.
The question is, is there a tool available that would allow me to scan the library on my iPod and flag the tunes that are cutting off? Note, my main iTunes library on my desktop is fine.

Scrubbing audio cuts out while editing iMovie project

Hello,
I put all of the clips, nearly an hour, in the project, and am editing just by deleting what I don't want. I keep losing audio while scrubbing. Would having less video in the project window fix that? It came back just now by restarting iMovie, but cut out again.
Thank you

Hi
and welcome to forum
*No audio on DVD disc.*
Most common origin.
1 Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2 Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
3 Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
4. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
5. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple Disk Util tool
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Quick Time 10 Intermittent Cut-Out When Playing WMV Files?

Hi guys!
Hoping for a little help with this one... I was in class today delivering a lecture and was playing some advertisements that I had on my Desktop (.wmv files), and initially things were fine. Then, one by one, as I played a clip, there would be frequent, intermittent cut-outs. I am running Flip 4 Mac, in case that may be an issue?
Is it worth deleting Flip and Quick Time and seeing how things go? any help would be greatly appreciated!

"initially things were fine. Then, one by one, as I played a clip, there would be frequent, intermittent cut-outs. I am running Flip 4 Mac, in case that may be an issue? "
Sometimes a simple restart or repairing permissions and restarting the computer will cure those types of hiccups.
Are you using the latest version of Flip4Mac?

Music cuts out while surfing the Internet

While listening to music and surfing the web using wifi or edge, the music will suddenly cut out. I have to start all over and find the song I was listening to. It usually happens when I move to a new page. It happens on all kinds of websites, even this one.
How do I get this to stop?
Message was edited by: Jeffrey Jerome

I have never experienced this as you have described. I have been podding and browsing and had the music fade out for a phone call, email, or text... but it always fades back in where it left off.
My suggestion is to do a reset by holding the home button and sleep/wake button until you see the Apple logo.. if that doesn't resolve the issue then try a restore from iTunes
If you are still having the same problem after that give 1-800-myiphone a call, or make an appt at your local genius bar.
Good luck

Guitar cuts out while recording

Hi All,
I'm using Garageband and the Griffin guitar connect cable and when I try to record my guitar, the recording cuts out after a few bars. Useful stuff:
-original iPad and fully up to date iOS.
-cut out is random, though the most I've been able to record is 6 bars.
-when not recording, the audio is fine
-tried restarting my iPad - no difference.
Any help is much appreciated.

There is an improvement if you leave the amp setting alone when you start, turn of monitoring and the noise gate. About 3 times out of 4 I can record 8 full bars this way. I haven't tried recording any longer passages yet. Not really a solution, but slightly better. . . .
