ITunes Match on Apple TV ignores my custom start/end times on tracks

Some of my tracks in iTunes have custom start/end times set (to cut out skits and stuff). These set start/end times are respected by all my iTunes Match devices (iPod and desktop iTunes) except my Apple TV.

Hey guys,
I ended up here for having the same issue. iTunes Match playing the song for 20 seconds or so on Apple TV and then giving me error message saying iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later. No trouble shooting worked for me as it didn't for you either. After using my apple tv for several months and experiencing occasional glitches that are somewhat similar to this probelm I boiled it down to 2 possible reasons. 1) some kind of bug that is fixable with latest firmwares Apple releases. 2) problems with Apple's servers. My best guess for this particular problem is the server problems because everything was playing fine until yesterday (Saturday) and the current frmware was released few weeks ago. It is strangely coincedental that most glitches seem to appear over the weekends. About couple of months ago I tried to watch an episode from a show and it would tell me the show would be available to watch in 24 hours. The loading was painfully slow. The problem only lasted a weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if the problem disappears tomorrow although I might be wrong.

  • Adjusting Start / End Time on Apple TV

    Hello everyone,
    In iTunes, we have the ability to adjust the Start / End time of a song or video by right-clicking the media > Get Info > Options. Then when we playback the media the next time, it will use the settings to determine how far into the media it should start and stop. Is there any way for these settings to get passed through to the AppleTV?
    - Thanks

    I would also like an answer to this! The original Apple TV applied the custom Start and Stop times, however the new one ignores them and plays the whole video file! Very annoying! Any solutions out there?

    How do I activate iTunes Match on Apple TV? Just signed up for it but can't find my uploaded music on Apple TV. It works on my phone and ipad.

    Ive had to reboot my Apple TV before I had the option to enable iTunes Match but it did not see my music library. I tried a second reboot and it still says my music library is empty. Its been several days and I can access my library on a Windows PC, my Mac and my iPad so Im all synced up, my Apple TV apparently just wants to be stubborn.

    Multiple Apple IDs (2) with Purchases & iTunes Match. Apple TV Purchases. Not happy to have to log in/out to view and enjoy my Purchase Contest. What's the solution?

    Hi
    i ran into the same problem. surprisingly though, i am not using multiple apple id and just one mac.
    i did change both the account (apple id) and the computer (from pc to a mac server), but home sharing is on and the apple tv (1) is synced with the new computer.
    i can connect to the itunes store and browse through it (signed in at all times). i cannot purchase any content and cannot play transferred rentals from the computer (apple tv is not authorised...)
    somehow, it seems the apple tv was stuck with a previous id.
    i have just now re-authorised my computer on the account and will give the apple tv another try. i did notice a message during the re-authorisation process. the apple tv is being authorised. this gives me hope.
    in any case, your setup seems to be a dream come through. i decided to phase out my high end multiroom linn kivor system (over 20k back 6y ago) to an itunes based system. apparently you managed to build something.
    i tried an itunes based nas but gave up due to complex operation (and overheating on top) and went for a mac server. i will be using windows clients though.
    most of my content is cd based. can you sync purchased content between pc's? or with a server?

  • Accidentally bought iTunes Match with Apple ID instead of iCloud/MobileMe e-mail.

    I bought iTunes match with my Apple ID instead of my mobileme/iCloud account and now my iPhone 3GS won't let me use the itunes match because it says I need to have an iCloud account to use it, which I do, but it's not connected to my iTunes Match, my apple ID is.
    My general question is why can you buy iTunes Match with an apple ID if you can't even use it on iDevices?
    Is there any way for me to fix this problem?
    Or did I just waste 25 dollars on something I will never be able to use on my iPhone?

    You did it right. Your iCloud account is not necessarily the same thing as your iTunes Account ID. Since you were able to successfully enable iTunes Match you used your iTunes account ID, which is the properly ID to use. To enable iTunes Match on your iPhone log into the iTunes Store using the same iTunes Store ID you used to enable iTM in the first place. Go to Settings > Store and enter the correct ID.

  • Why does streaming iTunes Match to Apple TV from iOS devices work fine but from my Mac Mini not so fine?

    As the topic heading states... if I airplay anything from an iOS device I have no issues but from my Mac Mini I am plagued with problems. If I airplay iTunes Match to Apple TV quite often the sound will drop or stutter. I will have to pause the song and start it again.
    Also I can be playing everything fine and then all of a sudden my Mac will lose sight of the Apple TV and the only thing that will resolve it is restarting the Apple TV.
    Both my Mac and Apple TV and iOS devices are running the very latest updates.

  • HT204406 All of my playlists are missing when I turn on Itunes match on my phone.  Itunes match as been enabled.  I have toggled several times.  Turned off the phone and restarted it.  Also tried restoring the phone.

    My itunes match has been enabled.  I tried toggling several times.  I have restored the phone twice.  None of my playlists are appearing on my phone that are in Itunes.  I have to have these playlists.  Why am I paying for a service that not working properly most of the time.  The other day I could not play all of my songs from my playlist. 

    Try it again. Apple fixed the issue. Turn your Match off and then on again.

  • HT4914 can you download songs from itunes match from the cloud to your iPhone ie for times when you dont have internet connection

    can you download songs from itunes match from the cloud to your iPhone ie for times when you dont have internet connection?

    Unless you have an Internet connection you cannot access iCloud. You can download your music from iCloud to store permanently on your iPhone, but only when you have an Internet connection to do so.

    Restart your computer. Run iTunes and check for updates. If there is a later version of iTunes available, download and install it. Then try again. If you still cannot see your iPad listed in iTunes make a list of all the things you have tried so that we can see exactly what steps you have taken.

  • Custom Start & Stop times

    The original Apple TV applied the custom Start and Stop times to video files, that you could set in iTunes under the "Get Info: Options" Tab.
    However Apple TV 2 ignores these custom settings and plays the whole video file regardless of the custom start and stop times you set. Very annoying! Any solutions out there?

    That's exactly what I use them for! Great for parties - except now the long gaps at the start and stop of some videos are back

    Hi,
    Is it possible to access the start,end times of a particular day in a custom OTL Fast-Formula ?
    Can someone point me to any links for writing custom Fast-formula.
    The [user/Impl Guide|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B53825_07/current/acrobat/121hxtig.pdf] has very limited information on OTL custom Formula.
    TIA,

    VB,
    Look at the seeded time entry rule FF and that will provide you with a sample code which provides access to all the attributes of timecard.

  • ITunes Match - Two Apple IDs but the Same Person

    So before the days of iCloud, I originally used my AOL email as my Apple ID. Then when I signed up for iCloud, I started using my .Mac email as my new Apple ID. Today, I just signed up for iTunes Match using my .Mac Apple ID. Somehow throughout this process my iPhone stayed under my AOL Apple ID. Now my phone is telling me I have to wait 90 days before the "new" Apple ID takes affect and I will then be able to use Match. I have just spent $25 for something I can't even use for 90 days?!?! Really?
    As you can imagine, I'm very frustrated because I know this is a simple mistake. I'm worried I just spent $25 for a full year and the first 3 months of that year will go to waste. Can anyone help me? A number I can call? Anything? I'm the same person, paying for music and apps with the same bank account! My Apple IDs just got mixed up.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the link, but no luck.
    They told me that there is absolutely no way to waive the 90 day waiting period regardless if am the same person or not. The only reason I have a new Apple ID was because I assumed I had to make a new Apple ID when I signed up for iCloud. At the end of day, it was my fault but I wish I knew I never had to make a new Apple ID. I would have just stayed with my “old” AOL Apple ID.
    With that said, I still think it is ridiculous they can’t waive the 90 day waiting period. I’m the same person! I just have two Apple IDs, and the only reason I have two Apple IDs to begin with was because I felt mislead by Apple’s iCloud. It’s not like I’m trying to share my music illegally with my friends or another person. Its all the same money coming from the same person...me!
    Being a die-hard Apple consumer for almost 10 years and convincing my entire family to switch to Mac, today I feel very disappointed in Apple.

  • Apple tv cant see my itunes match songs, apple tv cant see my itunes match songs

    I've set up itunes match on my desktop.  Looking at the icloud status of each track its either matched or uploaded.  On my iphone I can see all my itunes match tracks but on my apple tv, it says no songs found.
    Any ideas?  I was thinking to reset all setting on the apple TV and set it up again.
    (Iphone 4 and apple tv both on latest versions of software)
    Any tips would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Just answered this one at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4376504?tstart=0.  Hope it helps.

  • Itunes match replacing Apple Lossless Files with .AAC

    I have coverted my entire music library to apple lossless.. it appears that iTunes Match over time downgrades my music files to 256kbp .AAC files. 
    Is anyone else seeing this?  How can I get iTunes Match to STOP doing this?

    Michael Allbritton wrote:
    iTunes Match does not touch the files on your computer. These files will be "downgraded" only if you delete the original file and download the matched track. The service does not upload ALAC files to the cloud. It converts the ALAC to a temporary AAC file, which is uploaded to listen to on iOS devices. On your computer, the ALAC files stay ALAC.
    Hmm, that's interesting because on Apple's iTunes Match page it says (my emphasis):
    Which music formats can iTunes Match handle?
    You can match or upload music formats that can be played with iTunes. That includes AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, and more.
    which clearly suggets that it will upload ALAC to iCloud

  • Using Itunes Match with Apple TV 2 - Problems

    I've subscribed to Itunes Match, and want to use it on my Apple TV 2.
    When I select the 'Music' tab it shows me a screen saying that it's preparing my itunes library.
    It seems to be stuck on this screen.
    I've forced sleep, and it still shows this screen.
    Am I being impatient? (Bear in mind, yesterday it showed me my itunes library in Icloud but wouldn't let me play anything).

    Update - fixed this with a full restore. Working perfectly.
