HD Rentals Pause while playing 100% downloaded.

I've rented 2 HD movies on my Apple TV. With each movie I allowed the movie to completely download before watching it (I rented it several days before I began watching). In both movies I get random pauses where the video and sound freeze for a few seconds. Is anyone else seeing this issue? I'm streaming a large music library from my iMac via wireless. The Apple TV is connected via ethernet to a Netgear router.

Same problem as Robert. Using an 802.11g wireless internet connection to connect to my ATV (which is, I believe 802.11n)
I thought this could be the source of the problem, but even fully downloaded movies stutter like this.
Apple customer service couldn't provide the answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Itouch pauses while playing...

    My Ipod touch will just pause while it's playing and the volume bar with go up and down, and tell me that I'm using my headphones when I'm really not. What's wrong with it?

    It sounds like there are issues with the headphone jack internals.
    As your most likely aware, the volume has two setting, one with the headphones plugged in, and one using the built in speaker.
    The switch inside the headphone jack is probably defective.

  • Why does my iPod Classic keep pausing while playing music in a dock?

    Hi, can anyone help with this? I am playing music through the iPod Classic on a Philips docking speaker and every few minutes it pauses. This is so maddening, what can I do to stop it. Thanks

    From my own experience recently, I would suspect that the Philips dock is faulty. However, that won't get you very far, so as a method for narrowing down the problem, ask yourself the following:
    Has the iPod/Philips dock combination ever worked?
    How are you connecting the iPod with the dock? Is it the docking connector, a cable, bluetooth?
    How long does it work before it pauses (time it)? Is it the same time each attempt?
    Can you try the iPod with a friend's dock, or can you try the dock with another iPod? What happens?

    I just downloaded a Video and song and when I go to play the video, it keeps stopping, buffering then only plays part of the video. Any suggestions?

    maybe because of your download is not fully completed.

  • Ipod pauses automatically while playing

    I have a 4th gen ipod that shuts off (pauses) while playing. I think it is associated with jiggling the ear phone jack. I notice that if I unplug the headset, it goes into pause. Is this a feature that I can control?

    Your diagnosis is correct. This is a 'feature' that cannot be turned off. Notice my quotes around feature! You might try different earbuds, an extender that fits more snuggly, or even tape.

  • Can't listen to music while playing a game

    Why can't I listen to my music while playing a downloaded app game? The game's sounds seem to be the default, can this be changed?

    i dont think it works with all apps, but for a lot of them you can do it using this method, if the apps have a 'settings' option, you can usually turn the app sounds/music off, then double click the home button in order to access the music functions.
    applegenius,
    if an app has background music normally, then replacing it with something of your own is sometimes preferable. and some of us can multi-task, listening to music AND using apps! lol.

  • I downloaded a film for rental but it hasn't downloaded properly so won't load, tells me to check in my downloads in iTunes but it isn't showing up in downloads so I am stuck with a film a have paid for but can't play and can't finish downloading, help?

    After doing some research, I found out that I had accidently hid iPhoto after I paused the download. After going into my apple id account and saw my hidden purchases, I found it. Thank you so much helping me though!

  • HELP ME PLEASE!All my downloaded VIDEOS turn off on their own while playing

    PLEASE HELP ME !! All Videos downloaded to my I phone turn off ON THEIR OWN while playing. Some play for two or three minutes then turn off--some play for 15 minutes, then turn off. Plus rather than letting me resume play from the point at which they turn off--they all go back to the video starting point. THIS HAPPENS with ALL videos--!!! Videos from i tunes plus home made videos. I have taken the phone to my local Apple store--they had no idea why this happens and they gave me a new phone ( very polite and nice process) however the same thing happens on my new phone. I called Apple support--they had no answers. Please help--I spent a lot of money on the new i phone ( pre discount price) plus bought a brand new computer to make all this work with video and so far a big disapointment!! My computer is an HP Pavillion Elite - model m9040n- with an Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600,,memory 3GB DDR2, NVIDIA GeForce 8400 video card, using VISTA WINDOWS HOME PREMIUM. Anyone out there in cyber world-PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    Thanks for your note. Glad to get all the help I can with this problem. Apple had me Update the phone several times and then restore the phone 3 times. None of this helped. I have even tried an update and restore wwith the new phone. PS: In your note you mentioned that Apple may have had an issue with video turning off before--did I read that corectly?

  • While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and slide the scrub through songs.  This has always worked for me until now. I have not changed any settings

    While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and scrub through songs.  This has always worked for me until now. As far as i know, i have not changed any settings.  This is whle my phone is locked both on the slide up toolbar/menu interface and on the normal screen before i slide to unlock.

    I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue.  I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
    The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off.  I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
    If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.  Then, test it out again.  Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue.

  • How do I play my downloaded rental movie on my ipad2?

    How do I play my downloaded rental movie on my ipad2 and where do I find it...help ?

    If you've downloaded the film directly on the iPad or synced it to the iPad from your computer's iTune then it should show in the Videos app on the iPad - it's icon looks like a film clapperboard.

  • Songs are pausing several times(pausing every few seconds in a song) while playing in iTunes in mac what to do??

    while playing a song in itunes on my mac each song pauses atleast twice or thrice in a minute. what to do please guide.

    first the mac started acting slow and eventually the itunes started pausing.
    This does not look like an iTunes problem. I'll ask the hosts to move this to the Lion forum.
    Check, if the problem is system wide or only happens when working from your user account. Try to use iTunes logged in as a different user. Do you get a better performance?
    What model of Mac are you using? How much RAM does the mac have?
    Have a look at the second half of this document, if anything applies to your situation:

    First, back up all data and then uninstall "DivX" according to the developer's instructions.
    Then try this:
