Extremely jittery playback of certain purchased TV shows

i have purchased and rented lots of HD on apple TV, but recently i bought several different episodes (at different times) of abc's Life on Mars in HD and all of them have occasionally jittery playback. i've reset the apple tv, still the same results. other purchased programs not showing any of this, just this series. I have tried syncing the specific episodes directly to the apple tv hard drive with the same results.
anyone had trouble like this with one particular season of a series?

I have the same problem with lots of movies and TV programmes. I have completely blanked my Apple TV and re sync'd but I get the same issue.
Funny enough I have another apple TV connected to another TV and the same sync'd movies do not have an issue there.
My thoughts are it is either this apple TV or the TV.. I will try connecting this apple TV to the other TV and see what happens.

  • Jerky Playback of iTunes purchased TV Shows (specifically:  HEROES)

    Not yet another jerky/playback thread?
    Well, I feel compelled to do so since I have reviewed all of the jerky/playback threads that I could find and I have tried most, if not all, of the suggestions. Namely:
    1. This thread: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303706
    2. Uninstalled Quicktime and reinstalled (ver. 7.1.6)
    3. Setting "waveout" for audio.
    4. Tried several bit settings for audio (16, 24) along with sampling rates (44000, 48000).
    5. Tried two different versions of NVidia Forceware (ver 97.46, ver 158.18)
    6. Two different sets of drivers for SATA
    The thing that gets me is, I've been watching HEROES all season without incident. In fact, I preferred purchasing each episode and watching it in iTunes as opposed to watching the episodes in my BeyondTV DVR (computer based). One has to conclude that SOMETHING on the system has shifted to affect this change (within the last week), although I'm out of ideas beyond the 6 listed above. I'm tempted to boot into my XP partition to see if everything is fine over there but that would mean I would have to go through the as-of-yet-unfamiliar-to-me process of deauthorizing this "computer" and hoping that my purchases shows re-download. I did this once and I lost the first 6 episodes of Heroes and even "redownloading purchased" media did not bring them back. That's a separate issue that I need to contact Apple about.
    So...any ideas? Any information that I'm lacking here to help troubleshoot?

    Update:
    I booted over into Windows XP (SP2) and everything is fine over there. So, that leads me to the strong inclination that there is something up with the configuration on this side of the divide (Windows Vista 32-bit).
    I'm now beginning to suspect some recent tweaks that were made via the nTune application. For those that don't know, nTune is a utility that allows tweaking of nVidia hardware (nForce, n4 - mobo, PCI bus, SATA, video, etc.) What I'm currently trying to research is getting the automatic tweaks that I enabled to rollback to their default settings. So far, I haven't figured out how to do this. There is an option to load a "baseline" profile from within nTune's menu however the behaviors that I noticed post-tweak are still there (difficult to explain but there are indicators that the new settings are still in effect).
    I'll post back here if I am successful in rolling back the nTune tweaks and see if that makes any difference with the video playback problems I am experiencing.

  • TS1368 The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. When trying to view certain purchased TV Shows

    Purchased the whole series of Battlestar Galactica and Lost years ago. Suddenly I can no longer view them on my Apple TV 3rd Generation. Other purchased show work fine but it appears these two no longer work. Already restarted my Apple TV several time and even reset it. Still the problem persists. Any idea what is causing this?

    Here is how I solved it on my Macs as well as Windows.
    Here is for the Mac:
    - Quit iTunes
    - Go to Safari and open Safari preferences (in the Safari/Preferences menu)
    - Navigate to the privacy tab.
    - Choose to "Always" block cookies (you can change that back once the issue is solved)
    - Click "Details" below "Remove All Website Data"
    - Type apple.com in the search field
    - Select apple.com and click the remove button
    - Check that the apple.com line does not re-appear (it shouldn't, but if it ever does, quit and relaunch Safari and start over)
    - Quit Safari
    - Launch iTunes
    - Connect to your iTunes account
    - Smile :-)
    Here is for Windows 7 (must be similar for other Windows versions):
    - Quit iTunes (and Safari if you have it)
    - Openan Explorer window ("My Computer" for example)
    - Well hidden in the upper bar under "Organize" choose "Folder and search options"
    - In the "view" tab, make sure that "Show hidden files, folders and drives" is checked and click OK
    - Navigate to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies  or YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies if that is easier
    - Delete everything in that folder
    - (I am not sure this is necessary) you might want to also trash items in the YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Cookies folder
    - Launch iTunes
    - Connect to your iTunes account
    - Smile :-)
    Please tell me if that works for Mac and PC (I tried other things before those instructions so an extra step might have been involved)

  • HT1689 I purchased TV shows, I was billed for them, but they won't play on my Macbook because it says they are a certain HD that doesn't work - I am trying to find a way to return the shows or buy them in the right format

    I purchased TV shows, I was billed for them, but they won't play on my Macbook because it says they are a certain HD that doesn't work - I am trying to find a way to return the shows or buy them in the right format

    I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system.  The TV says "No signal.  Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection."  Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display.  But how do I do that?

  • Has Premiere Elements 12 fixed the jittery playback issues from CS4?

    I use Premiere Pro CS4 to edit my videos. I shoot with a Canon DSLR the 60D and import the video files straight into Premiere Pro without the extra transcoding step. (too much trouble to transcode the raw video with every clip). I get jittery and jerky motion in the left hand Source Monitor, when I make my in and out point edits. It plays fine once I have made my edits and render them in the right hand Program Monitor. I have heard that this has been fixed in version CS5 and higher. I can't afford to buy the CS program again, but could purchase Premiere Elements 12 the latest version. Would the jittery playback still be there in the left Source Monitor window of Elements 12, or has it been fixed in all forward versions newer than CS4?
    Also if there is a way to make the imported video play smooth in the Source Monitor directly from CS4, without the transcoding process, I would like to hear about that for sure. Thanks for your help guys. Ken in Toronto.

    Ken
    I am surprised that the Premiere Pro group did not answer your Premiere Pro question before transferring your thread to the Premiere Elements Forum. The Premiere Pro question seems to be the immediate one. Your question seems to have been ignored by the Premiere Pro people
    Also if there is a way to make the imported video play smooth in the Source Monitor directly from CS4, without the transcoding process, I would like to hear about that for sure.
    An answer to that might avoid you having to get involved with a new program, Premiere Elements 12.
    Nonetheless, I cannot offer you any guarantee about editing 60D footage in Premiere Elements 12. I would need lots of details of your specific video properties and computer environment to approach an answer. Your best and quickest answer will come from downloading and installing Premiere Elements 12 and determining its compatibility in your computer environment and if it meets your video editing needs.

  • Premiere Pro CS4.2.1 crashes/jittery playback when scrubbing timeline

    With just PP CS4.2.1 open, my program crashes when scrubbing the timeline as well as exhibits jittery playback after scrubbing the timeline. This is a PC system, Microsoft Vista Business 64bit with SP2, 500GB SATA2 hard drive (system), (3) 1-TB SATA2 hard drives (storage), (2) Intel Xeon Quad Core E5560, 2.8 ghz processors, 8 mb cache.
    I have (2) workstations with similiar setups and show the same issue. It doesn't happen with any consistency but requires constant control-S saves to make sure the project doesn't crash when you don't want it to.
    I just converted from PP 1.5.1 to this with a complete new setup. This setup (on both machines) has proven to be less stable than the older system with 1.5.1
    Figure it's something similar with system build as it's happening on both machines and/or it's something in/with Premiere CS4.

  • Not all my purchase history showing up for redownload

    OK, so I'm enjoying iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and finally have access to download previous purchases directly from the iTunes app. The thing is, not all my songs or albums are showing up as available to redownload. I took a look at my history through iTunes on my Mac, and I can locate the purchase in my store history, but yet no option to redownload.
    An I missing something here? Is there a licensing issue or restriction on certain songs or albums preventing redownloading? When I friend reporting the problem, the iTunes rep emailed that I wasn't eligible for a refund, which isn't what I'm looking for.

    Well after sending a second email I got a more helpful response instead of just "not eligible for refund":
    I understand that you are unable to download entire album using iCloud feature. I can certainly appreciate your eagerness to get this resolved as soon as possible, and I'll be glad to help you.
    xxxxxxxx, the iTunes Store gives you the ability to download your past purchases without incurring additional charges as long as what you want to download is shown on your Purchased page. This does not include any item that has been modified or removed from the store since you purchased it. If you don't see what you want to download in the list, it may have been removed or modified since you purchased it, and no longer available for download.
    I took a look at the Scream album for example, and noticed there is a difference. When I originally purchased the album, it was a preorder, and had an extra song with it (#12). Now that the preorder doesn't exist, my album is considered "modified or removed" from the iTunes store. I have other songs (single purchases) not showing up, but I can't tell if the albums were changed.
    How much modification would cause this is unknown to me... Change of description? Price? Album cover? I find this very disappointing. I was hoping iTunes and iCloud would make it more "secure" to purchase digital media. Anyways, just be sure to backup any digital downloads.

  • Can't tranfer purchased tv-shows to iPad

    Hi guys,
    Every time I try and tranfer certain purchased items from iTunes to my first generation iPad I get a pop-up saying that it's not possible.
    Now I have no idea what to change or how to change it to get my purchased items to my iPad. Anyone any ideas?
    Please help! I've been trying to figure this out for a few days now but just can't seem to find an answer. My iPad is completely stock, no weird jail breaking or anything like that. Even restored the iPad and started from scratch and still get this message.
    Thanks in advance for all your help!

  • Certain purchased cd's do not automatically load into itunes??

    I have a dell latitude D800 and while I loaded up the first few cd's and everything is fine, certain purchased cd's i put in Cd drive nd nothig happens??

    I am having the same problem. Brand new cd just took the wrapper off it. I got it for Christmas. I tried to download the cd and it will not automatically import. The cd would not play at all unless I put it into media player then it asked if I wanted to save the cd to a file. The file is in my ipod play list and shows up there but all the music will only play in the wmp. There is anti-piracy software on the disc but the only person that hinders is the one who paid for the disk not the ones who want to pirate it. Uggh I am so frustrated. How can I get this cd imported into my itunes?

  • My purchase history shows an audiobook I purchased but my iTunes wont let me download it.

    Last year I purchased the audiobook Sh*t my dad says on my iPod Touch, My purchase history shows that I did in fact for pay this audiobook, but my iTunes says I have never purchased a book. My old computer was destroyed, so I have no access to the file. How do I retrieve this purchase if my iTunes thinks I never bought it? I obviously did if it appears in my purchase history?

    You don't.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
    Sorry.

  • HT201322 itunes 11.0.3 - in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer. also In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies

    I'm running itunes 11.0.3 -
    in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer.
    In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies
    I used to be able to view all cloud and downloaded content.  I no longer can.

    There used to be option to show items that are in the cloud in your library, but I can't find where that now is (unless it's been removed). You should be able to see what items that you can re-download via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (at the top right of that there should be a 'not on this computer' button)
    Edit : Just seen your reply, though I don't appear to have that setting on mine.

  • Movie Rentals / Purchased TV Shows no longer play on iTunes

    Playing movie rentals and purchased TV shows have been working just fine on iTunes until a few days ago when I attempted to watch a movie rental, a pop-up warning came on and I pressed OK too quickly to fully read it. It said something about being incompatible. Unfortunately, since the error, I'm unable to watch the movie or any of the purchased TV shows on my MacBook Pro. All I get is a black screen with nothing happening after repeatedly pressing the Play button. I've tried to delete and re-download the TV shows, and iTunes Support has had me delete the movie and TV shows and re-download them. Still getting the black screen. Can anyone help??

    The lack of a purchase date, although I am not quite sure why it happens, does not in itself prevent the track from being authorized and played.  However, since the account name is correct and they have disappeared from your purchase history, something may have been corrupted.
    Unless someone here has a better idea,  you should take it up with iTunes Customer Service.
