Auto Fast-Forward when buffering airport?

Hello,
I have noticed a problem in iTunes ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7.
It is, that when I begin to play music on my Airport Express, iTunes will begin the song in fast-forward, and not in play. To correct, I have to pause and un-pause. Once I fix it, it wont happen again until iTunes stops completely and starts again, (usually when I quit). Not a huge bug, just want to know if there are any common fixes.
I have 7.0.2.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have that problem all the time with synced HD video. If I fast forward or rewind, the video will start sputtering after that. I don't think it's your network, it's probably a glitch in the ATV.
In any case, if you're streaming from a Mac via wifi, make sure you turn Time Capsule off. If it starts running while you're streaming, it will definitely degrade performance.

ITunes fast forwards when mouse is on song

I just got a MacBook Pro and use a wireless mouse(brand is Targus if that helps) which works fine for everything on it except when I roll over a song in iTunes while it's playing and it send itunes into a fast forward frenzy. It just moves and moves until I move the mouse and and then the songs play normally. I though it was a mouse issue but I think it's something with the iTunes after reading this forum.
Anyone know how to fix this or what's wrong? I really appreciate the help

Frame fast forwarding when watching recorded BT Sp...

Hi - new to YouView and to BT Sport.
When I watch any recorded programme from freeview channels, the fast forward button allows me (a) to forward through all the frames and (b) to pick the speed at which I forward.
When watching a recorded BT Sport programme, the fast forward button (a) jumps me forward about a minute a time rather than seeing all the frames and (b) will only let me forward a minute at time, which is very tedious when I want to whizz through a 5 hr programme.
Do you know why this is?
Thanks, any help much appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi vicmuggeridge,
I've had a word with my colleague about this and they've said that the current behaviour on internet channels on YouView is to skip forward (1 minute at a time) and skip back (15 seconds).
All the best,
Robbie

Random auto fast forward of songs on iMac

Songs randomly fast forward in iTunes on my iMac. It seems to start when I am using the keyboard while listening. Will continue on all songs until I restart the computer. Anyone have suggestions?

hmm ok so its not all the songs. its like 99% of the songs. the songs i downloaded from itunes work fine. i can use the diamond to scroll to and from points in a song.
this is annoying. ive searched for 30 minutes to try and contact apple about this and i cant do it!
edit
ok another update. it seems like when i move the diamond it does go to that place in the song, but then the diamond goes to the beginning and starts the countdowntimre of the song over.
and still sometimes songs stop in the middle, and wait a minute before skipping to the next

Fast forward problems with 2nd room DVR

I am enjoying my new FIOS set up very much. I have the Home Media option on my HD DVR and STBs. I'm having trouble with the "Fast Forward" when watching shows in my "non" DVR room. When the show is longer than about 45 minutes... after scanning thru commericals the program jumps back to the beginning. This is very frustrating and in some ways defeats the purpose of the multi-room option. I'm considering canceling this option but wanted to check first to see if there's an easy fix.
Thanks in advance.
Arnie

Hey nascar,
All three problems are reported issues and due up to be fixed. The first of your problems isnt a problem with the site, as it is a problem with IMG. The DVR content isnt being flagged properly after finishing it. Number two, you already know what is causing it. I don't know too much about this problem as ad insertion is handled on the network level. I do know they are reporting to be working on a fix at this time. Only a few areas at this time experience this problem as verizon does not locally insert ads in every market. Number three has been around for a while. We have attempted to fix it but the "fix" actually broke more things than it fixed so we had to pull it off the boxes. This one is still a work in progress to be fixed.

My screen goes blank when I fast forward

Is there something wrong or is this normal? This happens when I use Airplay to stream something from my Ipad 2 like youtube

I think you are misunderstanding the progress bar on the Apple TV.
The white bar tells you how much of the video the Apple TV has downloaded this can happen faster than Realtime and usually does. The second part to the progress bar is the play head, the play head shows you where you are in the movie.
So for example, when you start a movie the play head is at the beginnin,g as is the white download progress bar. After let's say a minute (of lets say a 30 minute video), the play head will be 1/30th of the way along but the white progress bar maybe 1/4 of the way along, meaning that about 7 1/2 minutes of the video have buffered to the Apple TV.
If at this stage you were to fast forward the video,; whilst the play head is moving within the portion of the white progress bar you will see the video moving quickly. However, once it gets to the end of the white progress bar it runs out of buffered video, and then will show you a black screen, because it has no more video to play.

Zen Micro firmare upgrade, now can't fast forward or auto resum

I upgraded my Zen Micro to version 2.2.02e from ..something so I could use ZenCast. Now I cannot fast forward tracks, the "time remaining" counter remains at zero always and it will no longer auto resume. Also "Seek to" doesn't work. Did anyone else have this problem? Is this firmware broken?
Cheers!
J

jrbg5,
I forgot to mention... when I tried?my ZEN?on my son's PC and Laptop, both of which work fine with his ZEN, that both of those machines are running Win2k ... not XP SP2.
The only XP PC in my house is my tower running XP MCE2005 SP2.BTW...thinking back, the USB cable may have stopped charging around the time I installed my Creative Web Cam. It got me thinking about driver conflicts, but since my ZEN doesn't work on the other PC's ... I'm lost as what to do next.

Firefox crashes when I try to rewind or fast forward netflix?

I have a weird problem with netflix I've been dealing with for awhile and it BUGS me to no end.
Whenever I try to fast forward or rewind on netflix, the browser freezes up and then my whole computer is frozen and dead.
I can click on the progress bar of netflix to wherever, and the little red circle appears and spins for about 4 seconds, and then it just freezes up and a few seconds later my whole computer is pretty much useless and I'm forced to just shut it down improperly.
It's not a huge deal I guess, I just try not to ever need to rewind a little bit when I miss something, but when I do need to, it's annoying as heck.
I use firefox, because I also have a problem watching netflix on chrome (it's choppy and I can't figure that out either, I've tried everything) so my preferred browser of choice is firefox for netflix) but this issue is getting annoying. (If it makes a difference, I can fast forward or rewind netflix fine on chrome, I've tried it just today).
I've figured out that if I rewind and give it like 3 seconds (right before I know its about to crash) and then hit the refresh button, usually my video will reload to the place I wanted to be at.
Anyway, help would be awesome. Thank you :)

DVD Player hangs when Fast Forward (F9) or Rewind (F7) buttons pushed

When I push and hold down the fast forward and rewind keys in DVD Player, the video does indeed fast forward and reverse. But when I push and immediately release, the picture freezes, and the computer hangs. Cannot do shut down, have to do shut down by holding on/off button and then restarting.
Very frustrating, lost a bunch of notes I was taking while watching the lecture. Any thoughts?
Sigh,
Dave

Also, if you're at the computer or have a wireless keyboard, hold down the apple key (command) and and press an arrow key for FF and RW. Pressing again should step up the speed, depending on the capabilities of the 11D. Mine (104D) can FF up to . . . I think it's 32 times?
If you have the apple remote, it's press and hold.

Can't Fast-Forward or Rewind when iTunes is minimized

When iTunes is minimized and I hold down the right arrow to fast forward, the track only advances like 6 sec and continues to play. BUT when it's expanded it continues to fast-forward until I let go.
This never happend before I upgraded to iTunes6.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Really? Sorry to hear that. It fixed it just fine for me. (I say that now, but watch it not work for me soon. heh) I didn't have to re-start for it to work, so.
I wonder what it is that is making it work or not work for different users.

Crash when fast-forward or rewinding in videos

My 5G 80GB crashes when fast-forward or rewinding while playing a video. I can fast-forward about 5 times, then it crashes and I can't fast-rewind, it crashes the first time I try it. My videos are 5 minutes or 30 minutes in length and it doesn't matter which I play :/
I also noticed that when I play a video without fast-forwarding or anything, the iPod crashes at the end of the video...
Any suggestions? I'd really like to use that feature on my iPod, with the click wheel it is so comfortable to do that.

Thanks for your fast reply!
And sorry for my late response...
I've tried the Five Rs multiple times, they didn't help. I also tried those sample videos, although only 3 of them can be played on the ipod: sample_iPod, sample_iTunes and sample_mpeg4... my iPod doesn't crash in these videos... I used this program to convert my videos for my iPod: http://www.ipod-video-converter.org/
I used mpeg4 compression.

How to achieve Fast-forward/rewind functions when using VideoDisplay

I use "VideoDisplay" instance for progressive download of
videoes from a server. Is anyone know how to add
fast-forward/rewind functions using Actionscript 3 with
VideoDisplay object?
or is there anyway to do it when playing videoes through
progressive download?
Thanks in advance.

Matt,
Thank you very much for your help. The thread is quite
interesting.
I can only make the video jumping forward/backward at the
step of 10 seconds by changing VideoDisplay's "playheadTime"
property. When I set the step down to 1 second,
the video is "frozing", and the playheadTime is going 1
second forward/backward, then return back to where it is, and going
1 second forward/backward, then return back to wheare it is again,
and repeats forever.
For the FLVPlayback class, it is not available in Flex
builder 3, why?
Thanks again,
Regards,
Fan

IPOD Nano Shuts Down When Fast-Forwarding Through Songs

I am having an odd but unfortunately repeated problem: I have my iPOD set on "shuffle songs" which shuffles my entire library. Sometimes when fast-forwarding from one song to the next, the screen goes black and the Apple logo comes on. The iPOD restarts fine though. I would appreciate any insight you might have...not sure if I should call Apple or if its something thats known as a nano quirk.
Thanks!

Hi wackydream!
This has happened to me before, too, (quite rarely, though. Once, maybe twice).
It would just be an out-of-the-blue kind of thing that never returned.
But with your kind of issue, you could first try resetting your iPod, and see if that makes any difference with the issue:
First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times (make sure to leave it on the white side of the switch).
Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
If several attempts at resetting don't help, then I would suggest that you try restoring your iPod in iTunes.

Media Error when fast forwarding downloaded videos from Video Store

I can't fast forward videos I have purchased and downloaded from the Video Store. I get the error message "Media error please try again." When I click OK the video closes. This is very frustrating since the video player does not recognize and remember where you left off when you restart it. For a 2 hour movie, I have to watch the whole thing again. Is this a known issue or is there some issue with my PlayBook? I have a 32 gig Playbook, brand new with OS 2.1.
Any help would be appreciated.

This happens to me when a video is not properly downloaded. In effect, the file is not complete even though the download appears to have been successful and the file information shows that the full length is there. I check downloaded videos first by dragging the video slider button left to right and observing if the video moves forward. If the image freezes at a certain point, I know the video is incomplete. If I release the video slider button at that point, the player gives an error and closes. The only solution then is to get a complete downloaded file.
The only other easy check to see if you in fact have the entire video is to check the file size. If it is much less than the advertised size of file from the store, then the file definitely did not download completely.
