Error Loading Content

I just upgraded AppleTV software to 5.1 (5201) On Oct 15, 2012, now I keep seeing ERROR LOADING CONTENT when I play music from iTunes using iTunes Match. Songs will play for about a minute, then Apple TV says ERROR LOADING CONTENT. What's going on here?

Contact iTunes Store support - there could be an issue with Apple's servers but it's unacceptable you can't watch content you've paid for.
Assume AppleTv works ok for YouTube (test it if you don't use it often) and any local itunes streaming?  (just to test local network and internet connectivity)

  • Purchased Content -- Error Loading Content Persists

    I've been recieving the "Error Loading Content" message even after Restarting and Restoring my 3rd Gen Apple TV.
    This only happens with purchased iTunes content -- movies, shows -- and not Netflix content, etc.
    Anything I can try?

    There are two location redirects send by the server on that request and Firefox doesn't allow that.

    If you leave out the &goto=newpost then only one redirect is send and it works.<br />
    If you click the above link that has a trailing ')' then that also makes the server send only one redirect because that link is no longer valid.

  • TS3623 I paused my rented movie on Apple TV. Now I continuously get an "Error loading content" and it won't play. I've turned it off/on, reset, etc., no luck.

    Four minutes into my movie, I paused it to answer the phone. Now I can't get it to come back on. I've held the center button on the remote to turn off the Apple TV, then turned it back on, my internet connection is fine, I've tried starting it over from the beginning. It just won't come back on. Meanwhile, since I started the movie, my 24-hour time-limit to watch it is ticking down.
    This is annoying! Any possible solutions? I get "error loading content" a lot - more than reasonable. Usually with Netflix, but sometimes this happens with iTunes movies as well.
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
    Reid

  • Netflix error loading content

    Netflix gives "error loading content"
    Thoughts to correct?

    I had the issue back in November & December where it was working however the quality was horrible.  That was fixed and now I'm getting the "An error occurred loading this content" as well.  Netflix is working great on my iPad so I tried to stream it using the Airplay and ended up with the same error. 
    Anyone called Netflix?  I'm on hold right now.  Odd's are they're going to blame Apple.

  • 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.

  • Youtube - error loading content

    HI there,
    Ive been watching many youtube videos and sometimes I get an error when viewing videos "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later"  Sometimes I get this error after a new search or sometimes a previous video I just recently watched.  The content is fine when viewing from my laptop I can view the same exact video fine.  I have the latest version of appletv software installed.  what could be going wrong?
    Cheers,
    Noah

    Sound like it problem with your ISP then. I've had a similar problem with youtube in the past, but it always been resolved with the steps I gave you.  My internet radio has worked for 2 WEEKS, really annoying!

  • How do I deal with constant "error loading content" messages?

    I'm constantly seeing error messages on my Apple TV (2nd gen) on content I easily watch on my other iDevices. What gives? This thing is rapidly becoming a vy expensive paper weight. Possibly the worst Apple product I've yet purchased. Am I alone in this?  What can I do?

    You cannot connect to TC using USB.
    Plug the TC into the computer using ethernet.
    Press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec.. until front led rapidly flashes.. release it.
    Open the airport utility and make sure you can locate the TC. Check the disk page that the disk started up without errors.

    I am guessing you mean Time Machine.
    If TM still cannot find the TC disk.. reset TM and redo the setup.

    Peace, Clyde

  • I am getting a "java.lang.RuntimeException: Error loading file:....NULL content-length." message when attempting to load a jnlp file

    I am the applications administrator for an instance of Galaxy server. In Galaxy there is an option / plugin to opne a BAM file via the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) created at the Broad Institute. When invoked it downloads a jnlp file and launches IGV and then is supposed to open the BAM file in the viewer. However, when it attempts to open the BAM file I get the following error:
    "An Error occurred while loading: http://galaxy/display_application/52cef830ad5766ca/igv_bam/web/29212308ff643a94/data/galaxy_52cef830ad5766ca.bam

    Compiling from command line I found out that the class definition for oracle.oats.scripting.modules.basic.api.IteratingVUserScript is missing. Do you know what .jar file contains this class?

  • "There was an error loading this content.  Please try again later."

    I've had my Apple TV since December.  I rented several movies from the iTunes Store with no problems.  This April, when I tried to rent a movie, it gave me the following message when I attempted to play the movie: "There was an error loading this content.  Please try again later."  All other functionality on the Apple TV is fine.  My internet connection is working perfectly.  The Apple TV is connected to the network.  This occurs regardless of which movie I rent (I've tried four!) and when I attempt to rent a movie.  This is very frustrating!

    I also get the message " An error occurred loading this content. Try again later." Though I have tried later many times nothing changes except for the speed at which i receive the error. It seems to correlate with the activity in the network. If there are more devices pulling from the network ( meaning the download speed should be slower) I receive the error message faster, this makes sense in that its failing faster.
    I have tried:
    A different network.
    Apple Tv's "Test Network"
    Signing out and back in to my iTunes account.(Including updating the billing information)
    Reset All Settings
    Restore
    Software Update (Software is up to date)
    Called Apple. (They said its probably my internet speed)
    Notes:
    I have Played HD iTunes content previously.( On the previous version of Apple Tv software)
    I believe my internet speed is less than 2.5 Mbps.
    Everything else on my apple tv works fine.
    I believe the most recent update to Apple Tv has, for some reason, disabled the ability to slowly buffer the content you rent on iTunes. Previously I could rent a movie or tv show and select play, then you could navigate anywhere in the apple tv menu until a message appeared saying your content was ready to play.
    I want to go back to the old software.

  • "error occurred while loading content" ?

    Curious if anyone is having the same problems with their Apple TV.
    It first started when we tried to rent episodes from Apple.  We'd purchase the episode, it would be ready for veiwing, and after about 5 mintutes the "error occured while loading content".  We'd go over to netflix and I could watch old episodes of various tv shows without a problem.  Downloading a movie rental in HD would also take up to 5 or 10 minutes. 
    I checked our wireless modem - everything was working fine.
    I reset the network settings on the Apple TV and checked that it was up to date.  Also reset all the username/password stuff.
    That did the trick for about a week and now we're having the same problem. 
    Thoughts anyone?
    Thanks

    I'm somewhat convinced that errors on the network (or for that matter over HDMI) can cause corruption of the Apple TV. In such cases restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, usually does enough to reset things.

  • There was an error loading this content...happens all the time

    at least three times I day I have to unplug and plug in the power as it gives me the "there was an error loading this content" message constantly...why does this happen?  This is a very frustrating device

    That will usually indicate a network issue.
    What is your current connection via speedtest.net
    Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
    If on wifi try ethernet
    You can go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to see a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise
