  • ATV2: Error occurred while loading this content

    This error started appearing out of the blue today. And I'm nearly at my wits end with this, because no solution I could possibly think of makes any difference. I would get this error intermittently once a month or so, but unplugging ATV2 and doing a cold start would usually resolve this.
    Any ideas? Anyone?
    Symptoms:
    "An error occurred while loading this content" appears
    It appears exclusively for movies, TV shows and music in my iTunes library
    It affects all media - nothing in my iTunes library will play
    Streaming of purchased content form iTunes store is not affected by this error
    I am able to play my iTunes content on my Mac
    I am able to play my iTunes content on a different Mac via HomeSharing
    I am unable to play any media stored in my iTunes library on my ATV. Period.
    What I've tried (to no avail):
    Power cycled my cable modem (DOCSIS 3 compliant)
    Power cycled my AirPort
    Power cycled my Mac
    Power cycled my ATV2
    Logged out of iTunes store on Mac and ATV2 and logged back in
    Turned off Home Sharing on Mac and ATV2 and started it up again
    My setup:
    I have a 25+ mbps cable internet
    Airport Extreme is my main router
    Mac is connected to AE via ethernet (it houses my iTunes library and has WiFi shut off)
    ATV2 is connected to AE via ethernet as well
    Both Mac and ATV2 have reserved IP addresses on Airport Extreme and always get the same IP, no conflicts
    Both Mac and ATV2 have a good connection speed when tested
    All software and firmware is up to date and Mac, AE and ATV2

    You are definitely NOT the only one here with this MAJOR issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2615363
    I have the same issue, and I have a 6MB AT&T Elite Pro DSL service that I have always had since purchasing my ATV2 in October. Never have I had these issues until the 4.2 update. Horrible software bug and it keeps coming back up. TV shows, movies, etc. No rhyme or reason. Some shows new, some old. Some movies HD, some SD. It is almost as if the Apple TV rolls a die and if I get an odd number, I get the error message. Even number, it plays through...
    Why would Apple continue to release software updates that do not address these issues? We have to keep leaving Apple feedback on this issue that is big enough that over 13,000 views on their own message board confirm this problem since the 4.2 software update a few weeks ago...

  • "error occurred while loading this content" ... ATV2 not even 24hrs old...

    I just bought this ATV2. I am using AT&T internet with an EDGE250AEW wireless router and a Motorola modem.
    I'm attempting to rent movies with my ATV2 and watch them. After a myriad of times of trying to just sign into my iTunes account via ATV2, I finally was able to rent a movie.
    When I click on the movie to rent, I'll press "PLAY" and it will give me the message "error occurred while loading this content".
    I realize my internet connection is slow (1.5M) so I am renting in SDef ... but that still shouldn't be preventing me from even being able to rent a movie.
    I attempt to watch a movie preview ... and a 2 minute movie preview takes over 5 minutes to load ... and it wont start playing until it's completely loaded. Bollocks!
    I have updated my software, I have rebooted, I have restarted, I have recycled ... no avail.
    Is this a PORT opening issue? I dont know what is going on but it's REALLY frustrating to have a 100 dollar paper weight.
    I AM able to use home sharing and watch movies from my Macbook iTunes to the ATV2 ... but rentals from the store via the ATV2 doesn't work.
    help please

  • An error occurred while loading this content apple tv 2

    I get "An error occurred while loading this content" when trying to view a rental movie. Not all of them but a few rentals. I wonder why only a few?

    Has any other fixes been found.  Since I updated to the latest iOS I've been having a similar problem.  It doesn't matter what I stream through either.  I bought I ATV2 when they first came out and have been using it perfectly fine, however after the last update I haven't been able to stream my movies, tv or even Netflix. 
    I've also been having issues with my ATV2 connecting to my windows 7 desktop where I store all of my movies and TV shows.  I have to deauthorize home sharing and turn it back on for my ATV2 to recognize that it is even on.  Frustrating to say the least.

  • An error occurred while loading this content - only with iPhone not iPad

    I know this issue has been discussed to death with no real solution in sight but my case is slightly different:
    1.  On my new iPad, I select AppleTV (not mirroring), open Safari, then to YouTube and play any HD video. Immediately, the video will be streamed to the AppleTV with no hassle.
    2.  I do the same on my iPhone 4, 4S or 5 and all I get is "An error occurred while loading this content. Try again later". This occurs without fail.
    If I use Jasmine YouTube client, streaming will work perfectly but alas, this app is prone to the error message "Youtube has restricted feeds for this video" and thus, I can't use this.
    If I use the new google youTube app, only the audio gets streamed to the AppleTV. I have to use mirroring and the video does not fill the TV screen but leaving a dark border all round. The streaming is not smooth either. The previous youTube app by Apple works perfectly - never had an issue. As soon as iOS6 came along, I end up with all these problems.
    Is there a solution to all this? Currently, I use only my iPad for streaming YouTube videos but I really want to use my spanking new iPhone 5 but can't.
    I am so sad.
    Can anyone help or am I doomed to use only my iPad for this? I am soooo disappointed with the iPhone 5 due to this.

    are you renting these movies directly from the appleTV or are you renting/downloading from iTunes on a computer then streaming to appleTV?

    Re: "An Error occurred while downloading content."in response to augiefritzmom
    I have been trying to fix this for 4 weeks , several visits to the apple store ... all irrelevant suggestions , was even told to buy an Apple TV ten 3 as it was an issue with HD steaming only supported on the new unit ...
    I do not go on these sites , but Apple are losing the plot these days  ...
    Here is what I found that fixed the issue for me ...
    1) go to Gen\network\DNS
    2) It will be set to Auto , for some reason the DNS is being set to you router , not your service provider ...
    3) I am with Charter (do a quick search charter DNS on the Web) , will give you their DNS ,
    Charter DNS Servers
    http://www.charter.com
    Primary DNS: 24.196.64.53
    Secondary DNS:
    View all United States of America DNS Servers
    4) Go to manaul and set the DNS to the service prover
    5) should be good to go ...
    Why we have to go to the level to solve this stuff I have no idea ..... hope it helps ....

  • I keep getting "error occurred while attempting to import file *******. The disc your are attempting to use is full." I have an external hard drive that I moved files over to, but apparently they're also still on my hard drive? HELP!

    I keep getting "error occurred while attempting to import file *******. The disc your are attempting to use is full." I have an external hard drive that I moved files over to, but apparently they're also still on my hard drive? HELP!

    So you have backed up the content of the computer's hard drive, too?
    That usually is a great idea since it is possible to lose use of the system
    if parts of it have accidentally been removed or get over-written, or the
    main system files get corrupted, when the hard disk drive gets too full.
    If you have not trashed the originals of your created content, that remain
    after you made copies on an external hard drive or other device, then
    that is what you'd have to do to reclaim the capacity still in use by them.
    What are specifications of the hard disk drive? The unused capacity
    verses the used, in GB? If the hard drive has less than 15 to 20%
    free or unused capacity, you could run into trouble. Mine are 40-50%
    unused hard drive space, so ample room is available for automatic
    Virtual Memory to use that capacity as temporary swap file space.
    This is helpful when the computer could use more physical RAM
    memory capacity, but doesn't have it. Or if the RAM is maxxed out
    and you can't add any more. Virtual Memory is part of OS X and the
    system automatically can use as much as is available, but it is better
    to be sure there is plenty of resources available to include chip RAM
    as well as unused or free hard drive capacity for use as VM.
    If for some reason your files in Trash won't go away when you empty
    it, you may have to restart. Be sure you have not included any System
    files in the content in the Trash, or the Mac may not start up later on.
    You may have to boot the computer from the install-restore OS X DVD
    and run Repair Disk from its version of Disk Utility, to be sure it's OK.
    I'm guessing that by now you know enough about the vintage system
    in the older hardware to figure it out, so I won't write about it now.
    In any event... hopefully you can simply trash the files, but check them
    carefully, & you may need to remove (copy to archive first) even more.
    Good luck & happy computing!
