Itunes content cutting off while streaming to apple tv

After the 4.2.2 software update, my Apple TV suddently stops playing any type of media from my iTunes library (video or audio). It has not affected Netflix streaming or Youtube at all. The cutoff is seamingly random; sometimes it plays almost all the way through and then cuts off, sometimes it only plays for a few seconds and cuts off. When the media stops, the Apple TV goes to the main menu and does not show the album art across the top. I don't believe it is a networking issue because my Apple TV is using the ethernet cable. After this issue began, I started using my MBP and Airplay to play the media and have absolutely no issues. This never happened before i ran the update.

Same irritating issues with a couple new twists:
My system worked perfectly fine until the last update (4.2.2), here is a recap of my issues in case anyone has found similar challenges and a 'miracle cure'
Now when I launch Apple TV, it will only play one song, quit playing and tosses me to the movie tab. If I go back to the 'computer' tab, reload my library select a song - it will play randomly.
The random selection has also been affected.....over the last 4 days every time I try 'random selection' it has limited itself to only 15-20 CD's and it's been the same cd's that keep appearing each day. I have thousands in the system - this is also a new issue.
I tell it to play an entire downloaded I-Tunes cd, it tells me there is no content..so I have to manually start the cd but it will only play one song, I now need to manually move it to the next song. It won't even shuffle within a selected CD
The update messed up the shuffle command, now I can't turn it Off.
I called the Apple Help(less) desk and they would NOT admit there are issues...After all the enjoyment I've had with this product this is very frustrating

Apple TV Cuts off when streaming from iTunes

Since a couple days ago, when I stream a TV show I have brought from iTunes directly to watch it works fine but every 8 - 9 minutes, without fail it will cut off and say the iTunes store is not avaliable. I then simple press play again and it starts again, but then 8 - 9 minutes later the same thing happens? Does anyone know a way to fix this?? It's very frustrating when you're watching an hour long TV show and it cuts off 6 or 7 times!!
Thanks.
P.S. It worked fine until a couple days ago.

its something on itunes part, like lantzn said we all been trying to get them to help us
if you stream from your library---- works fine
if you stream from netflix-----all is fine
if you stream from itunes store ----whatever you are watching will cut off after 8min 59 sec
you can resume but just 9 min later the same thing happens again.
I have spent 2 days trouble shooting the issue with Apple care, I even opened a new Apple tv I got for my family room which is doing the same thing, I reset my settings, I refreshed my network still the same problem
today on a return call I got from apple care they agree its on itunes end, so he made a call or chat whatever they did to the tech support at the itunes store dept and they gave him the same as I got from express lane, everything is fine on their end....its not!
they told him to tell me its my network ...its not! I have 2 xbox consoles and they both work fine when I stream videos, I have no issue with anything on my Apple tv such as youtube or netflix or my library
jus the store.
there are so many complaining on this exact issue and they need to understand
the coomon issues we all have
started on the 19th of this month
itune store cuts off after 8min and 59 sec
it can resume but will cut off after 8min and 59 sec
can watch netflix with no problems
can use my library to stream with no problems
it could be a server issue or update but the new apple tv I opened was 4.4.3 and it had the same issues as the one I been using which is 4.4.4
The only thing I can suggest is if you have the Apple care on your Apple TV is to call over and over and let them know this is happening because if they get the calls then hopefully someone will keep contacting the itune store support and fix it.
itunes support told apple care to go to a store and have them test it on their network
Honestly, I can not make it to the genuis bar at a apple store for a bit because I was in a car accident and can't walk on my leg, so trust me I was looking forward to watching a bunch of movies, I could but the resuming after every 9 min blows.
so frustrated but im calling apple care again in the morning.

Why does my phone cut off while surfing web

phone cuts off while talking on phone, surfing etc

Failed calls generally happen when the iPhone is in an area with poor reception. It's loosing connection to the cellular network.
You can try Apple's basic troubshooting suggestions -> http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/calls/
If it does the vibrate till resetting thing again, restore the iPhone.
WTH.

If you have a credit card on file on top of your gift card then it is asking you to confirm the security code for the card, which for a Visa or MasterCard is 3 digits located on the back, or AMEX has 4 digits on the front. This happens just to ensure that you are the account holder, and would happen from time to time whether it was a free or paid app, even if you have a credit through your gift card. This doesn't mean that your credit card will be charged.

Itunes songs cut off

Recently, some of the songs in my itunes library cut off at approximately 2:30 minutes into the song. I thought it was a problem with my old ipod, but the same thing happens on a second ipod and on my iphone. The problem does not happen on my PC. Has anyone experienced and corrected this problem?

Something similar here.
Try this script: ResetStartEndTimes
iTunes only passes the start time, end time and duration to the script in whole seconds, so there is a potential for minor adjustments of less than a second to be ignored. If you find this to be a problem change the line that reads:
Updateable=(.Start>0 Or .Finish<TimeToSecs(.Time))
to
Updateable=True
Which would force every track to be have the start and end times reset, whether they need it or not.
Test the script on a few sample tracks first to see that it does what you want. If so let it process all of your music.

Downloaded iTunes songs cutting off half way through.

Recently, many of the songs that I have downloaded from iTunes are cutting off midway through the song. The song plays out for the original length of the song, but there is no audio. Most of these songs were downloaded to a Macbook Pro. I have an iPod and a iPad2. I'm experiencing these problems on both devices. What can I do to correct this? All devices have been updated and synced.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Ipod cuts off while playing

Suddenly, my ipod within my iPhone cuts off while playing in the shuffle mode. Most times this occurs while I have it in my pocket and am moving, but I have no idea whether this matters or not. It will either cut off completely or skip to the next song after cutting off in the middle of the previous song. Is there something that I can do to fix this?

I have the same issue. The phone works fine if I am sitting around, no problems listening to hours of music. I ride my bike and have the phone in my jersey pocket and after about 15-30min it starts going into an auto pause mode to the point I can no longer listen. This is very annoying and I think it must have something to do with the motion sensing causing the pauses.

My iphone cut off while using itunes and now it wont work. it cuts on and off and it wont restore.

while putting music on my iphone from itunes my iphone suddenly cut off. it wouldnt come back on unless hooked up to charger and even then it turns on and off.. i have tried restoring it but it wont work. it actually restored once but it just started doing the same thing within an hour. every other time it errors out. what can i do?

Hi emfletcher!
If you have already tried restoring the iPhone, then the next troubleshooting step to address this issue would be to try putting the phone into recovery mode and attempting a restore from there. I have an article for you that can help you perform these steps:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
In order to fully troubleshoot and isolate issues, I would recommend not restoring from your backup after you finish this procedure. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Itunes still cuts off list of playlists while syncing "semiautomatically"

i still have the problem that i can sync my 60gb 4th gen ipod photo only till the letter "R"-the rest is cut off! Is there a maximum of total number of playlists that can be synced or something like that? and how can i maker itunes showing up the letters R-Z??
Thanks a lot for help

hello!
the problem is that i can't get the playlists which i already have (and i'm content with) onto my ipod (the ones "R-Z") because itunes cuts the list off at "R". so i don't have a problem in using itunes, i have a problem transferring already existing play lists and i can't use the playlists R-Z on my ipod. does anyone knows something about a maximum number of playlists shown during synchronisation? and how can i extend this limit?
thanks

My iTunes randomly cuts off songs at the end. I've tried to create a new library and reimport my old library, but to no avail. Can anyone help? :)?

Hi, I am using a MacBook Pro, and downloaded the new iTunes update. I have OS X Lion 10.7.4. It all of sudden is randomly cutting off some songs before the very end of the song. I've tried to read past posts and create new libraries and re-import the old one, but it doesn't seem to help. It is not all of my purchased songs, nor is it all of my downloaded from CD songs, it's just a particularly random set of songs (I haven't checked them all, but it happens every 5 songs or so when I play the whole library on shuffle). This never happened to me before with other versions of iTunes, and when I called the support line the guy says he has never heard of this problem before... !
I have 3000 songs, so I don't want to manually bring each one in again. I am also not super technologically brilliant, so if you have had this problem too and have a simple answer, please help !!!

I have a similar problem with Itunes - the funny thing is it only does it on my Mac and not my PC running Windows 7 - seems strange the Apple software runs better on a Windows computer. There are other posts about this here on the forums that have been running for two years with no solution - and I was just about to buy a new Ipod - oh well.

ITunes 7.4 Crashes When Streaming to Apple TV!

I installed installed iTunes 7.4 yesterday and it now crashes every time I try to stream to my Apple TV. Syncing seems to work fine from the same computer but have a spinning beachball on iTunes, a spinning wheel on Apple TV, and then an eventual force quit on iTunes anytime I try to stream.
I have rebooted my mac and the Apple TV with no result. I am reinstalling iTunes now and will report if this fixes the problem.

If this was occurring in a much greater number of cases where there was a consistent theme to the problem then I might well agree with you, but the numbers are extremely small, there is no obvious pattern at all and in cases where such problems have been solved the solutions are often entirely different. I wouldn't entirely rule out a software based issue but this seems very unlikely and I believe there is little chance of resolving matters while you continue to assume this.

Why do Songs cut off while playing on ipod??

My songs que cut off the last 20-15 seconds while playing on my ipod touch 4gen
Not all of them. Just a few.

I am having the same issue on my iPod Touch. I restored it (for other reasons), after having had to replace the HD in my desktop (which became a different computer). Bottom line, what used to work now doesn't. One of the things I found is that, if I redownload a tune that is cutting off from iTunes and delete the old one, the new one is OK (or, was the case in this particiular experiment). This is by no means efficient, however I think I can make it work.
The question is, is there a tool available that would allow me to scan the library on my iPod and flag the tunes that are cutting off? Note, my main iTunes library on my desktop is fine.

ITunes songs cut off early

Heyas;
So I have been going through my iTunes collection - backing up and getting missing artwork, etc. and I have noticed that several songs end early/get cut-off. This happened to one song a while back that was a download from the iTunes store. I figured the file somehow got corrupted so re-bought the song from the iTunes store. Now that it has happened to several songs I am suspicious that there must be another issue than one corrupt file.
The files that cut off early are AAC format. There may be some older MP3 formatted songs that are effected as well but I have not found any as of yet. The recently effected files are ones I imported from my CD collection; but as mentioned above, I have had issues with iTunes store songs as well.
I also recently deleted all the songs from my Windows 7 PC and transferred all the files from my Mac Mini (where I keep the 'master' copies), using 'home sharing'.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post
Any suggestions?
I use a Mac Mini 10.4 and a Windows 7 PC. I keep both iTunes libraries synced up.

I have the same problem. It's disappointing that there aren't more replies to this issue two years later. I just delete the song from iTunes and then delete the song file in the iTunes Library. Then I go back to the store and redownload it. It asks if you would like to "purchase" the song again. Say Yes. You can download the song for free(You won't have to pay again). Then you have to listen to that song to see if it's complete. Sometimes I have to do this several times before I finally get the full song WHY??? When there are several songs on one album that are incomplete this can be a very tedious process. I bought an album today and a few of the songs are cut off like this. So I'm off to try to get my money's worth...
