Horrendous buzzing noise when renting some movies on ATV2

Hi,
I have now experienced for a second time a rather annoying and loud buzzing audio output from ATV2 when I start to watch a movie. It doesn't stop even if I move forward in the movie. If I come out of the movie and listen to anything else through ATV2 then the audio is fine.
I am listening via the optical Toslink out to a speaker system (B&W Zeppelin). Music is fine, internet radio is fine, other video is fine and other rented movies from Apple are fine! Only this film (Pandorum in HD) is doing this. The last time I experienced this it was exactly the same symptoms when trying to watch Downfall.
I have tried unplugging the replugging the Toslink at both ends and resetting the ATV2 (even a full powercycle) and nothing changes.
Newflash: I have turned on my TV speakers (they are normally permanently turned off in software) so the sound is going over the HDMI cable to the speakers and there is no distortion at all... It would appear the ATV2 is having issues with outputting certain audio files over the Toslink. It would not surprise me if this is associated to the encryption that is used by Apple to stop illegal copying. A similar condition is still causing me problems with the video out to my TV (the dreaded inverted colours issue on ATV2).
Anyone got any thoughts on the audio issue?
Anyone experiencing something similar? The audio does sound scrambled now I think of it.
Cheers,
Rich

I have the same issue. Sometimes restarting my MacBook Air2,4 helps. iOS devices and Apple TV play together quite nicely. But I'm deeply disappointed with how Apple TV and OSX play together. It's just very disappointing.

I wonder the Format Tables macros on my site could be adapted?

If not, I have used Macro Express to format tables in Rh. No reason it could not be used in Word.

I had rented some movies on Itunes put them onto my Ipod classic, after I had watched them although they had expired they did not delete form the rentals list and almost one year later they are still there. The movies can not be watched and I have tried every thing I can think of, other than restoring the software ( that will probably be the answer ) What should I do?

That is stealing. Your friend has no right/licence to give the songs to you. It violates copyright law.

Can Apple TV use the balance from my iTunes Store when renting a movie? I couldnt find the option so I believe it will charge my credit card it made me add to the iTunes Store settings.

For the avoidance of doubt, you must have enough of a balance to pay for the rental in full, it won't take the balance and the difference by credit card. If you don't have enough of a balance it will all be taken by credit card.

Buzzing noise when iPhone 4s vibrates

My new 4s buzzes loudly when the unit vibrates. It is not the sim slot or door as the noise exists with the sim and door out of the phone. The buzzing is almost as loud as an audible tone and quite annoying and distracting. Anyone else with this issue?

I have the same problem. Even holding my finger on the bottom right corner eliminates the buzzing noise. I think that the screen could be slightly loose.
I don't mind this when it's in my pocket, but the alarm gives me a bit of a shock in the mornings now.
And I don't really want to exchange the phone, because it's perfect otherwise. I definitely don't want to end up with a faulty screen some of the people here are reporting.

Authorization is required on apple tv when rented a movie.

I rented a movie from itunes, when i tried to play on apple TV a notification comes up " authorization is required". I followed the steps to authroize my PC but it still does not work.
In previous times when i rented movies from Itunes it used to work now iam having this problem. Any help with this?

No, it's not INSTANT. Depending on your download pipeline, 1.5 hours might be a reasonable time for a complete download. You're not very clear on what you are complaining about.
The ATV2 streams movies and other video. You DON'T have to wait until a movie is completely downloaded to watch it.
I watched a movie about a week ago with my ATV2. I went for the high priced spread (HD version). With a few seconds, I got a popup window saying the movie was ready to view. I hit go and the movie started. About half way through the movie, I checked how far the movie download and at that point, it showed the download completed. I then went back to finish the film. It didn't pause, stutter or do any other undesirable hiccup.
Now IF you didn't get the popup window telling you that you could start viewing the movie for 1.5 hours, then you have some kind of streaming problem.
FWIW, my download speeds are around 8-9 Mbps as tested by speedtest.net.

Macbook pro making buzzing noises when using google chrome

I have had a Macbook Pro for at least 3 years. I have always used Google Chrome(in fact as I am writing this it began making this noise while using Safari) to use Google Drive to work on my homework to do other things as well since I find it easiest to use for school. Recently my computer has started making a very loud buzzing noise near the fan areas when I use Google Chrome and it worries me. It had that problem before, but when I took it in before I thought the problem had been fixed. Now 2 years later it is making that noise again and it only goes away when I put my computer to sleep. I am unsure as to what to do about it and it worries me because it is getting to the point where I can't even use my computer to work on it.
Please help or give some advice on what to do.

Open the bottom and use a can of compressed air and clean out your fan for dust and possible plastics stuck near fan blade. It will help and if needed replace fan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu6tKVqdgGI

Constant electical buzzing noise when off. Normal?

I have a W520 that makes a soft electrical buzzing hum, kind of like a florescent light bulb. It does this only when I turn off the machine, and the hum changes pitch every 2 seconds, but it is constant. The only way to get it to stop humming is if I turn on the machine, or remove and reinstall the battery.
The computer is new. I bought it direct from Lenovo and just received it on 7/14/11. It has been making this noice since I got it, but because this is my very first laptop, I don't know if the noise is normal.
I called Lenovo tech support and upgraded my drivers as advised, but this hasn't solved the problem, so I was told to call Post Sales Department on Monday to see if I can get a replacement W520.
Has anyone ever experienced this with their W520? Is this electrical humming noise normal? I have confirmed that it is not a fan noise, or a hard drive noise. There is no movement or vibration in the machine, it just likes to hum all the time when it's supposed to be off. Our IT guy at work thinks it may have a bad connection somewhere that is causing capacitor noise.
My W520 is a model 4270. Core i7-2720QM, Quadro 1000M, 8 GB SDRAM/500 GB HDD, running Windows 7.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks. I got a return authorization and shipped the computer back to Lenovo today. The post sales dept is going to give me a refund when they get the computer, and once I get the refund, I'll have to order a new W520.
Hopefully, the new W520 will not have the buzzing noise problem.
I'm really glad that the post sales dept allowed me to return the computer instead of having me send it to a depot for repairs. I wish they could have just exchanged it for a new one, but because it's over 21 days from the order date, they have to give me a refund instead.

Download error when renting a movie off the iTunes store app

Hi, I tried to rent a movie off the iTunes store app today(I have rented before with no problems), but when it was in the processing stage it started saying Download error. Tap to retry. Now its taken up 1.3 gigs of space but it never finish processing so its not there. Very frustrating and i cant fix it.

Apple Tech support doesn't respond here. This is a user-to-user forum.
You can always restore your Touch to get the memory back. And as, of course, you have everything properly backed up (you do, right?), you can just reload when you're done. I don't know as there is a faster solution.
Best of luck.

Premiere Pro CC freezes when processing some .mov files

I'm new to Premiere.
I just got some .mov files to be edited. I'm not sure how they were created.
When I try to do anything with them Premiere freezes and I have to force it closed and then manually kill Adobe QT32 Sever.exe in order to restart Premiere.
If I can get a clip to play, the video freezes but the audio plays.
The Media Pending screen shows in the thumbnails when mousing over the clips in the bin.
Just importing all the clips into a project will freeze Premiere.
Quicktime Player plays the files ok.
Loading the files into VideoPad results in a 4 second clip. That is, every file ends up being just the first 4 seconds when VideoPad imports it.
I do not have this problem with other .mov files from a Nikon D3100.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply, Jeff.
The MOV files are client provided. He emailed me today that he recorded them on a consumer camera that created AVCHD files which he converted to MOV through a free utility he found on line. Sigh.
Since Quicktime Player plays the individual files he didn't know there was a problem until they were given to me to assemble into a finshed piece. As the clip numbers are not sequential, I'm guessing there was a committee who looked at all the clips and chose the ones they want in the final product and only those were given to me.
He said he could copy the original files onto a DVD (hopefully he has the entire contents of the chip so I will get all the files that were created as this knowledge base article indicates).
I tried Handbrake and what I get is a split second of live video which then freezes as the audio plays out. :-( I, too, suspect the fault is in the multiple video data types.
Thanks again for your input.

Error code 5103 when renting a movie

I get the following error message when I rented a movie from iTunes store, "An unknown error occurred (5103)". I downloaded the movie and when I tried to watch it, I got that message. I have tried disabling my firewall, reset iTunes cache, and restart iTunes and my computer and nothing has worked. I can get onto the internet and secure websites as well. I am at a loss.

Error when renting a movie: Item not available

I'm having trouble renting a movie from the iTunes store. It keeps giving te message: Item not available - make sure your computer's date is set correctly and that it allows cookies from the iTunes Store. Both are fine - date and time are right and cookies are not blocked...
