Lagging - Music plays for 5 sec., then stop for 10 sec.???

I bought the AE last week and it worked fine for 2 days, then on a morning, for no particular reason. It started to lag heavily. music will play for 2-5 seconds then stops for another 2-5 second, then play again for 2-5 sec.
I tried everything from restarting AE, upgrade Frameware to 6.2 then downgraded to 6.1, upgraded to itune 5 today, nothing works... it is the very same problem.
I am using a Dlink "B" only wireless router, does it make a different? and why did the AE work for 2 days then started this heavy lagging.
Please help

I too have been experiencing the exact same issues. Mine has ran perfectly now for months however. From a terminal prompt if you cd /var/log and look at the system.log file you may find the airport link going down the up again (which would certainly account for lags/outages). The link down and up messages are what I am seeing. Often changing the channel will help as interference from other networks/devices can cause the issue as well. My problem began last Saturday, and continued even after I upgraded the firmware to 6.2. As of right now it is running fine again. A friend mentioned that there was a larger than normal amount of Solar activity that was wreaking havoc with some cell phone coverage recently. It would be interesting if these issues go away in the next week or so. Thoughts?

  • How to play one song then stop on iPhone?

    iTunes playlist on my computer can play one song then stop because there is the uncheck all songs feature, but apparently iPhone doesn't have the same feature.
    Need to play one song then have it stop instead of going to another song in the playlist. Creating 20+ single-song playlists is inefficient.
    I know there is the Play on Cue app for $1.99 but why should I have to have another app on my phone do what iTunes on my computer already does built-in (play one song then stop)?

    "Creating 20+ single-song playlists is inefficient." Please read next time.

  • HT2463 Why does my apple tv play one song then stops streaming?

    Why does my apple tv play one song then stops streaming?

    Make sure all of your songs have a checkmark next to the song title. There are small blue boxes that need to be checked for songs to play consecutively.
    If the library is unchecked, you can easily recheck things by clicking on a song, going to the top line selecting Edit>Select All, then right clicking on the selection and choosing "Check Selection".

  • New or modified iTune playlists only play one song then stop.

    My wife changed the settings on iTunes last night.  New, or modified playlists only play current songs then stop.  Existing playlists work normally.

    Are the songs on the CD from different artists?
    If so, then if you are going into MUSIC -> ARTIST -> Christmas CD and hitting PLAY, it will play the songs from THAT ARTIST on THAT CD, probably only one.
    What you'd have to do is go on your iPod: MUSIC -> ALBUM -> Christmas CD. By doing this, you'll play every song from that album regardless of artist.

  • ITunes radio on my iMac plays 1 song then stops playing

    I'm currently running iMac 10.9 with iTunes 11.1.3.  Starting today, when I play iTunes Radio, it plays 1 song then stops.

    Have you tried closing and restarting itunes or restarting the computer? I've had itunes get squirrelly before, and close and reopen took care of it.

    hi i have ipod photo when i play a song it works for like 20 sec then just cuts out then trys to goto another song.
    please help i tried restoring everything but still wont work.
    thanks in advance

    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

I even tried the freezer option. Still no connection.The "wheel" turns for 2 secOne then stops without connecting.  Anyine have a solution to this issue?

    I have an AT&T contracted iphone 5. Cannot send mms to anyone but other iPhone users. If you search the Internet, you'll see that the problem is everywhere...both the carriers and Apple are actling like the problem belongs to the other, or feigning any knowledge (which is kind of funny since the no MMS thing was in an ios6 beta that was released awhile ago, so I KNOW apple knows about it). No, I'm not running a beta (obviously, I just got my iphone 5).  Awesome. Have a great camera on this thing, but cannot send OR receive MMS from anyone other than other iphone users. Gotta love it.

  • So i have the ipod touch 4thgen and the speaker stoped working right after i got it and i was dumb and didnt return it because it started to work. but now about a year in it only randomly works like one time every month. that lasts for 10min then stops?

    so i got a new ipod touch 4th generation and about three days after the internal speaker stopped working. i was dumb and didn't return it because it worked again for about a month and then stopped. and i was pass the 90 day return time. so i am screwed and now the speaker will work for about 10 minutes every two months so it isnt that handy to me. i know it isn't blown because it will randomly work and when it does i hope it doesn't turn off. i have seen allot of things about this and i think that it is a apple ipod think because allot of other people have this problem. so i think it is great that apple has made these products it is just sad that u pay 200$ for something that breaks after two months. i think they should do a free replacement for any product that has a malfunction because it isn't my fault it is broken and then they expect u to pay another 75$ so they can take it just to give u a refurbished one that will do the same thing.

    Walk it into the nearest Apple Store, politely describe your issue and see what they say there.

  • Deskjet d1460, spools paper half way for printing then stops

    I have a HP deskjet d1460, i recently changed the ink cartridges and now when you send a print job, it starts to spool the paper then stops once the paper is in ready to print and the power light flashes as if to say paper jam. I have checked and there is no paper jam. When you press the power button it resets the printer spools the paper all the way through the printer and that is it but does not print! Please help. The printer is connected via a USB port. On the print job list on the computer the status just says spooling.
    Thanks ABi x

    Hi - Try following the steps in this document.  Sometimes the feed rollers can accumulate dust/paper dust, causing it to have problems when trying to feed the paper through.  Give it a shot and see if it resolves the problem.

  • How to have slide show play automatic and then stop?

    How do I get my iMovie to burn to iDVD without a theme and play when inserted into a DVD player automatically once and then stop?

    (From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
    How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
    1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
    Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
    http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
    Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results.  That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option.  Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
    Hope this helps!

  • Play one song then stop

    I'm trying to find a way for a 25 foot tall sculpture of Elvis standing in a jukebox to play one Elvis hit song randomly by being activated by a motion detector. Can the iPod Shuffle be activated to play just one song, then stop or turn off. Then be activated again, by the motion detector, and play another single randomly selected song and then stop or turn off, waiting to be activated again by the motion detector?
    I was hoping the iPod shuffle would be able to do this, being the least expensive iPod. I've tried reading the online manuals and help files, but I can't find any info about whether it could accomplish this one-random-song-play-and-then-stop feature.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Since a shuffle has mechanical controls (buttons) for controlling its play, it would seem to be poor choice for this purpose... ALTHOUGH a 1st Gen shuffle AND a speaker system which specifically interfaced (dockable) to it with external controls that included a remote would work. As would any iPod which is remotely controllable...

  • I'd like to play one podcast then stop. Possible?

    Iphone 4s. Is there a setting to play a single podcast then stop?

    There should be some symbols you can tap (can't remember if you have to tilt the phone sideways, or just swipe your finger to the left or right when you're at the bottom of the screen, but you should see it).  There will be an option for repeat all (an oval with an arrow), repeat one (an oval with an arrow and a number 1), and if you tap it to where it's grayed out, it should just play one then stop.
    Sorry for the crummy instructions; I don't have podcasts on my iPhone and am too lazy to put any on to test lol.
