ATV3 stops streaming after 20 seconds

Seems like anything I try to watch, whether trying to stream from my iPhone to watching movie trailers, everything stops at about 20 seconds in, then pauses indefinitely.
My download sipped is around 14.4Mps on comcast through my router and AirPort Extreme.
Any ideas? Should I try a restore or reset?
My ATV2 streams fine @ 720dpi. Even if I lower the resolution on the ATV3 to 720, it still doesn't work. Also getting a lot of spinning circles while it attempts to connect to the Apple Store when switching to different trailers.

Hello Jim,
I would recommend restarting the Apple TV

AirTunes stops streaming after each song but iTunes shows it playing

I've read through a lot of posts and either people are having the same issue just describing them differently or I'm seeing an entirely different issue.
My setup is Windows Vista running iTunes 8, Airport Express and an iPod Touch running the Remote app. I just bought it all yesterday and did all the firmware and software updates it asked me to when setting it all up.
I had it setup wirelessly and working -- the remote controlled iTunes which send audio to my AE and it worked beautifully. Then I realized the music stopped, I went to check and iTunes still showed the music playing, but no sound was coming out of the remote speakers. If I change the speaker output to computer then back to the remote speakers it starts playing again.
I've disabled wireless on the AE and put a long wire across to rule out wirless interference or problems. I've disabled the Windows Vista firewall as well.
I've tested both from the remote and from using iTunes directly. So I've ruled out the Remote App from the equation (I think). I say that, because first thing this morning I ran using just iTunes and it worked for 15 straight songs. I used the remote to change albums and start another and after the first song played it went silent. I noticed in iTunes a playlist called "Remote" comes up so I was thinking the Remote was causing it. I switched over to my library local on iTunes again removing the remote and it keeps happening anyway. So I'm not sure if by using the remote I put it in this "state" or if it's really not the Remotes problem.
OK, so once it happens, it stops streaming after very single song however iTunes still shows it's playing fine. To fix, turn the speaker off then on again or switch to computer then back to remote again. It works doing this via the Remote App or on iTunes directly.
This is FRUSTRATING! I spent a lot of money on the iPod, AE and getting a cheap stereo receiver/amp to feed my in-house speakers and now it's pretty much not even useful.
Suggestions? Help? Anything?

I wanted to post a follow-up. I solved my own issue after starting to rule out every possible cause.
I have a Western Digital networked hard drive (NAS) which houses all of my MP3's. I knew accessing this drive was pretty slow but I've had my MP3's on it and iTunes' library is all coming off this drive. It has worked fine on my computer for years. However, it appears that the lag doesn't play nice with AirTunes.
I moved my entire iTunes library (about 80 GB) to my local machine's hard drive, rebuilt my library and now it plays flawlessly!
Just so people know, I've updated firmware on the AirportExpress and the iPod Touch, I have the new version of Remote on the touch and am running iTunes 8 on Windows Vista with its library on the local harddrive. No glitches, pauses, or problems. I ran it for 6 hours during a party over the weekend without flaw.

TV and Airport EXPRESS stop streaming after update

I have read all of the posts regarding the Airport Extreme update being the culprit of the slow streaming with the Apple TV, but I have an Airport Express (2 actually) that suddenly stopped streaming after the last batch of updates (iTunes 8 etc.).
Everything has been working flawlessly - I have all my movies and TV shows on an old Mac that streams to my Apple TV via 2 Airport Express base stations. I have one AE station "hosting" my internet connection, and then the other acting as a WDS remote. Suddenly after the last updates I have no streaming. I have re-set everything, and re-connected my media server to my Apple TV and no luck. My AE's are at the latest firmware 6.3, and Apple TV, iTunes and even OS is all up to date.
If anyone has any ideas how to fix this I would really appreciate it - it's driving me crazy.
Thanks in advance.

Am in the same boat as it where, so will be happy to hear a solution!

Need Help Getting a Flash File to stop playing after 15 seconds

I was sent 3 flash files at work, however they infinitely
look and many places require that these stop playing after 15
seconds. In addition to this, at the 15 second mark at the current
frame rate, the spot is only 85% complete. I figure I can increase
the fps but I can't get the spot to stop. The stop code is of
little use. Any help? Thank!

you can use setTimeout(yourfunction,15000) to call
yourfunction after 15000 milliseconds. in yourfunction your can use
yourMovieclip.stop().

Some songs stop playing after 60 seconds

Most of the songs on my ipod were burned thru itunes from cd's I've purchased new from retail stores, Amazon, etc. I'm having a problem where some songs stop playing after 60 seconds. It then goes on to play the next song. Can anyone out there shed any light on this for me?
Thank you.

This has started to happen to me too.

HT1711 When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

I have a similar problem with at least two songs that I know of, one is an iTunes download (encrypted) the other was imported from a CD using iTunes (no encryption). Both songs play 2-3 seconds then immediately go to the next song. The "weird" thing -- I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook which has no songs other than what are on my iPod (i.e., not playing the song from another source) and both songs play fine. Unplug the iPod from the computer, plug in headphones and the songs skip again.
I've gone through the 5 R's as well, with no luck.

The volume on my iPad 3 has gone. I've checked the mute button, tried restarting, resetting etc and nothing has changed. I can't hear the music, hear any sound from videos. Most times the video stops playing after a seconds. My iPad 3 is only 2 months ol.

If you have lost all sound and video is freezing on you, that ain't good. Your iPad is two months old so I would not hesitate to contact Apple at all. You are entitled to 90 days of phone support.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/.
If you want to try a couple of things on your own, try quitting all apps and then reboot the iPad - not so much for the sound issue itself - but more as a general "start all over again" sort of approach. It might help with the video freezes.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If you use headphones on occasion, you can try plugging and unplugging those as well and see if the sound comes back.
You could even try restoring the iPad to factory settings and then restore from a backup, but unless there is something totally hosed on the iPad, that should not be necessary with a two month old device - of course assuming that you didn't drop the iPad or do something accidental that could be causing the problems.

Acrobat stops showing after 5 seconds.

Our version of arobat reader stops showing after 5 seconds when we open an element on our company website.
Is it the software that is the problem or the element on the website.
Below is our website: If you go to it and click on the link "100% recycled", a pdf opens up. On our computer it stops working after 5 seconds or so.

Can anyone tell me if the same thing happened to you when you clicked it.
Thanks in advance,

I have no problem viewing that online PDF for as long as I like.
What is your operating system? Browser? Reader version?

IMovie stops importing after 7 seconds or so

I am trying to import some video that is being passed thru my digital camcorder from a dvd. I have done this before several months ago but today it stops importing after about 7 seconds. I don't have FileVault turned on so that isn't the problem. Everything looks fine on my camcorder screen but iMovie just stops importing. HELP! Any ideas? Thanks!

Well, guess what? I took the minidv tape out and now it has decided to work.

TA21328 youtube videos stop playing after few seconds

While watching videos on youtube, sometimes the videos are stopping or freezing after few seconds of play. How can I fix this?

If you have a slower connection and try to watch hd then your computer won't be able to keep up. Could that be the problem? If it is, just click on the quality wheel, and watch at a lower quality, say 480.

Songs stop playing after 45 seconds

I have the ipod classic and it seems like some of the songs are stopping after 45 seconds of play. The timer says the whole song is there and I checked my computer library and it plays all the way thru on the computer.

I, too, am having this issue. I have the 5th gen iPod nano using the latest software on Windows XP Pro fully patched.
I had imported songs from Windows Media Player, all of which were ripped from CD.
I had read other posts on the 'net that the conversion process may have messed up timing and the song cuts off. However, The track plays fine on iTunes. Given that scenario I deleted the offending track from iTunes library and iPod and re-ripped from CD using iTunes at 256kpbs. This has not solved the problem.
I took the drastic measure of using the restore to factory option and re-sync'd with iTunes. This did not solve the issue either.
/facepalm
Any thoughts??

Youtube video stops playing after 11 seconds

Mac Pro / Mountain Lion 10.8.2 / Flash 11.4 - YouTube videos stop playing after 11 secs. Only just started happening last week - around time when I installed latest Lion upgrade but this may be a red herring. Tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling with no change. Checked/emptied cache.

There are several topics with similar symptoms, but I don't think anybody has found an answer yet, as it only occurs on some few systems.
What I would try if I encountered the same problem:
try disable Hardware Acceleration (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337)
try update the graphics drivers (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765)
