Audio stops after about 5 minutes

After rendering/encoding, the sound on my finished DVD stops after approximately 5 minutes. It is fine on iMovie, and also is there in iDVD when using preview.
In contrast to other posts in this forum, there are no slide shows on my DVD, and all sound comes from the camcorder together with the video.
I am using "Create Disc Image", and I have tried both playing back with DVD player from that very disc image, and actually burning it on a DVD and playing it back from there.
I have also thrown out the whole iDVD project and started from scratch by creating a new project from iMovie.
Since my DVD is just about 60 min, I have also tried both "quality" and "performance" encoding - same result.
The audio stops in the middle of a 4-min clip as defined in iMovie.
I am using iDVD 5.0.1.
This process (importing from camcorder, editing in iMovie, building menus etc. in iDVD, creating disc image, burning) is something I have done for several DVDs previously without problems (but maybe with iDVD 5.0)

Thanks for your help! You helped solve the issue, albeit indirectly...
At this point, I want to share my experience, in the hope that it might be helpful to others:
After finding that chapter markers had nothing to do with the problem, I found that indeed my camcorder was set to the dreaded 12 bit. Oh dear! The original DV tape is long gone. (At first I did not expect this to be a problem, since I had made several DVDs successfully with the existing settings, but then there are all these horror stories in discussions about what 12 bit can do to you.)
So to rescue my movie, I found advice to "share" my iMovie back to a fresh DV tape, and then re-import it with the 16 bit setting.
This lead to the next issue: After a number of minutes of re-exporting to DV tape, the video received by the camcorder would freeze, while the audio continued. This happened at several different points in several differerent attempts.
So next I visited iMovie discussions, where I found advice to clean up my Mac. I used Mac Sweeper, and now indeed my Mac runs faster and smoother for many apps. I also downgraded my QuickTime version. But another attempt of exporting from iMovie to DV tape also failed, but now it failed at exactly the same point where the audio stopped in my DVD!!! (Even though on the export-to-DV-tape it was not the audio but the video that froze.)
Next I found that when playing that problematic scene in iMovie, the iMovie program would also freeze at that very point, making it necessary to "force quit" out.
In the end the solution was to chop out the problematic bit in that scene. Now everything works fine, including the iDVD step.

When I play songs on my itunes account, they stop after about one minute and itunes goes to the next one. how do I fix this? These are songs in entire albums that I have purchased.

when I play songs on my itunes account, they stop after about one minute and itunes goes on to the next song. This is happening with songs on albums I have purchased direclty through itunes

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken files from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click on the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

TS3700 After synched with PC, verified song played perfectly at PC. Once played IPOD NANO by itself, song stopped after about one minute. Happens to every song. Why?

After synched with PC with all songs transferred via iTunes, I verified all songs played perfectly at the PC. Once played IPOD NANO (6th generation) by itself, the song stopped after about one minute. This happens to every song. Why? I checked the IPOD NANO setting, but do not see anything need to be changed.

Multicast stops after about 2 minutes

Hi,
We are testing IP Multicast, with Flahs media player 4.0.
We set up the encoder and generated the manifest file.
Multicast start, but we see lot of bufferring and video running fast.
After about 2 minutes, the encode stops publishing to the server.
We are using digital rapids as the encoder.
Any idea this might be causing ?

A few things to try:
1. If you're using the 'multicast' application that ships with FMS4, it logs state transitions and event info to the app log as the server-side multicast relay (a server-side NetConnection/NetGroup/NetStream) start up and redirect the ingest stream from FMLE into the Flash Group. I'd recommend reading through that and verifying that the server-side objects handling the relay into the Group are happy (i.e. not disconnecting or being closed down).
2. The multicastplayer client SWF app has some flashvars defined in the HTML shim file that loads it. One of these is a debug flag. If you set that to true, you'll get some debug info surfaced up to your UI. This will include the various events the client is processing on its NetConnection/NetGroup/NetStream that's being used to play the multicast stream out of the target Flash Group. Feel free to post those details back to this thread.
3. If you're doing IP multicast, that won't work over the public internet. In that case you'll want to be using P2P multicast.
Best,
Seth

AppleTV stops after about 10 minutes and I get the "spinning circle". I have re-set the computer's power setting to NEVER shut down, but no help.

My Apple TV stops playing after about 10 minutes. It will only work when iTunes is open, so I leave iTunes and and Home Sharing is on. Everything is fine for about 10+ minutes, then the music stops and I get the "spinning circle". I've set the computer's power settings to never shut down, thinking that it was stopping because the power went off, but it still stops. People over for T-giving soon. HELP!!

Why does the sound stop after about 10 minutes? I like to listen to lectures, etc. and find it very annoying to have to press the on/off button to restart it every 10 minutes. Couldn't find a way to extend playing time in settings.

I can imagine that is frustrating as heck. My daughter has one of these and I know for a fact hers does not turn off after 10 minutes because I have to turn it off for her every night after she has fallen asleep. Below is what Apple has to say about it from a troubleshooting standpoint.
"If music stops when the iPod nano screen turns off m Make sure the earphone port is free of debris. m Make sure the earphone or headphone connector is pushed in all the way. To see an illustration, go to support.apple.com/kb/ts3700."
Are you using aftermarket ear buds or speakers when you listen to these lectures??? If so maybe it has something to due with a compatibility issue.

My husbands ipad2 keeps freezing on the screen, when he has entered the password what ever he working on stops after approx 2 minutes. It only started this morning and has been working perfectly prior to this. I purchased this 64gb 3G machine via eBay

My husbands ipad2 64gb 3G the screen keeps freezing. What ever you are working on stops after about 2 minutes the screen freezes and after another few moments you are required to put you password in again. It only started this morning and had been working perfectly until today. I purchased from eBay three weeks ago. If watching bbc new you can only watch for 2 minutes and same for video and games. Keeps coming back to screen saver where all icons are. Sometimes we are to use the on off button to get it going again. I set it up the same as my own iPad 32gb. Hope you can help? Thanks.

Spilled water without flavorings and especially without sugar is something from which your computer may recover. The best thing to do is to shut off as quickly as possible and remove the battery pack. Place the computer in a sunny window with the lid open to promote evaporation of the water. On top of a refrigerator is also a warm perch that'll promote drying. It is difficult to say exactly how long it takes to dry the computer; that depends on ambient temperature and humidity, and how how water is in there.
The biggest threat from the water is corrosion of metal parts, so drying quickly is a must. Also, water can form mineral salt deposits that can grow conductive dendrites between adjacent traces on printed circuit boards. The formation of dendrites is aggravated if you apply power before the machine is dried out. The worst damage would be if water managed to get in the breather hole of the hard drive - luckily, the way the drive is mounted, that would be fairly unlikely.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

HT1657 rented movie audio stopped at around 30 minutes!

the audio on movies i rent stops after about 20-30 min of watching? the video continues.. it happens during dowmload and after it is complete..anyone have a clue?

Hello rockdoggy,
It sounds like you are renting movies and the audio will stop about 30 minutes in. I recommend the troubleshooting for Windows 7 in the following article:
iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1362
Also, if you have not been able to finish watching a rental because of this issue, I would also report an issue to our iTunes Support team directly:

None of my iDevices can read my iTunes library after an hour of availibility. When I first start iTunes I can read the library, but after about 30 minutes my iPad's and iPhones can no longer access the library. I see it in the shared list, but no access.

None of my iDevices can read my iTunes library after about 30 minutes. My iDevices lose connection to my library and I have to do one of the three following things in iTunes to regain connectivity: 1. Restart iTunes 2: Stop / Start Home Services 3: Start playing a song.
I'ts as if iTunes goes into a background or sleep mode. During the loss of connectivity my iDevices show that there's a library shared, but I cannot connect to it.

Smae issue here, but I'm unable to get Home Sharing started again (after MAc and iOS restarts, Home Sharing on/off. etc.) This happend a few weeks ago and turngin Home Sharing Off/On fixed the connection issue b/w iPad2 5.1 and iTunes 10.6.1 running on a OSX10.6.8.
I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on iPad2 today, watched a movie and then about 20 minutes into a 2nd movie I lost connection (Sharing tab in Video app disappeared and has not come back.) The update seems like the culprit, but odd it worked for over 2 hours before stopping, odd I can't get Sharing to work anymore (iTunes see's my iOS devices b/c I can conenct to iTunes to enter my passcod efor connecting the Remote app.) Appears to be an issue with iTunes broadcasting Home Sharing, even thougt it says it is on.

Dynamic to Static VPN dies after about 4 minutes

Hey everyone, I have an interesting issue with a dynamic to static VPN setup. I currently run a pair of Cisco Pix 515e firewalls in a failover setup. They are running OS 8.0.4 and they run great. I used to have a VPN between these and my office where the remote office had a static IP address. I am moving that to a new connection which uses dynamic IP addresses.
I setup a pre-shared key on the DefaultL2LGroup on the Pix and removed the existing static tunnel-group. I also reconfigured the remote firewall which is a Netgear firewall to connect to the Pix. It is still using main mode and the rest of the setup is pretty much the same.
The VPN connection establishes fine and I can pass traffic through it with no issues. The problem is that every 3 minutes and 50 seconds, the VPN will go down for a few seconds. It looks like it rekeys. My stuff will stop responding and then it will re-establish and it is fine. It happens every 3 minutes and 50 seconds like clockwork.
I have checked everything I could think of and am not sure where the issue is. I know I can do detailed debugs on the IPSec but am not sure what I should be looking there. The basic debug just givs the generic message below that says the tunnel can't communicate with the peer. I have seen that message before but not usually with a VPN that establishes. Generally if this message comes up, the tunnel never works.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks
Neal
Group = DefaultL2LGroup, IP = X.X.X.X, Removing peer from peer table failed, no match!
Group = DefaultL2LGroup, IP = X.X.X.X, Error: Unable to remove PeerTblEntry

I did more testing and it seems that the tunnel sites at the MM_ACTIVE state and doesn't go past that. The information is the same on both ends of the tunnel and traffic passes fine when at this state but then it rekeys after about 4 minutes and starts again.
I tried changing the tunnel to an Aggresive Mode tunnel but using a name for the remote office firewall ID and now it sits at AM_ACTIVE but doesn't go past that point either.

ITunes freezing after about 5 minutes on one account, works on other accounts

background info: I have a 2008 black Intel Macbook 2.4 GHz with 2GB RAM.
the problem that I'm having is when I run iTunes , after about 5 minutes even if I'm not downloading or playing music, the program starts to slow down and I get the rainbow beach ball on my screen. If I'm playing music, it starts and then stops, starts, and stops. Other programs respond for about a minute, and then nothing responds, no force quit, no nothing. The only way to get my computer back is to hard restart.
**I have a feeling that gapless playback has something to do with it, the problem started when I added an album collection of around 800 songs at once, and I did notice that it starts going through the gapless playback analysis or whatever and then freezes.
I've tried reinstalling iTunes etc. and searching forums and websites, but all problems that sound similar are from years ago and different iTunes versions. The iTunes is the version before 10.4, I'm not sure if its 10.3 or 10.2, since I'm afraid to open it and have my computer crash again.
One annoying fix I did was when I need to have music I made a separate account on my mac that runs iTunes fine with no problems. I had this problem in Snow Leopard, and just upgraded to Lion hoping it would fix itself, but it still has the same problem.
If anybody has help or has a similar problem please let me know.

Scanning from other than admin account has always been a problem for me. The only solution that I found out working is using the Vuescan software. It has something to do with that the scanning software trying to access some part of OS X that is locked to others but not for the owner (admin).
To give the other accounts admin access doesn't help.
