Movie Stopping on Apple TV
On my Apple TV 2nd generation when I try to watch A Million Ways to Die in the West it exits to the home screen of the Apple TV on BOTH of my Apple TVs. Any solutions?

The movie stops on apple tv and won't advance

While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark? I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed. Can someone help me?
It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

hi ! just rented a movie through an apple tv and it stopped, i cant get it back and when go to check rentals its like in process and nothing is hapening still in process, why is that? can u fix it?
Mr. Churchill - First, to answer your last questions:
Yes, the movie is fully downloaded, all 3.69 GBs.
No the Apple TV has 127.5 GBs of its 144.63 GBs free.
Second, I tried turning the Time Capsule WiFi rounter and Apple TV off (for at least two or three minutes, not the usual 10 seconds recommended) and I still could not move the movie.
Third, I severed the link and set it up again re-synced all 5,103 items back and still when I move the movies to the Apple TV box and Apply it, after 35 seconds it stops the sync and moves it back the the Rented Movies box.
Though I have set my Apple TV to sync with my MacBook Pro I cannot find a way to connect it to other than shared library, but not the "not shared library" (Is this what the Rented Movies are?). Is what Fletch is talking about int the "Rental Movies not showing up on Apple TV" discussion my problem and a solution?

Re: Rental Movies not showing up on Apple TV

there are three possibilities: you have not upgraded to version 2.0 or in Summary on the ATV device in iTunes, you should look whether you have it set up to only sync or otherwise disables movie syncing, or you have not paired your Mac to the ATV (on your tv, settings/computers/connect to itunes library - not shared library)

Or is it something else? -
Apple TV - rented movie, stopped midway, now can't watch 2nd half.

No option to "return to rented movie" - screen only says "go to Settings, find Downloads, then Download" or something similar.
***? I went to Settings and there is NO Downloads option. Anywhere!
I think Apple is losing it. FIrst my iPhone 4S, which I was tricked into loading the new operating system which is HORRIBLE. Am now looking at moving back to Android. And now Apple TV seems screwed up. Jesus, is this the end?
[email protected]If you rent it on your Apple TV then that is the only place that you can watch it - from the HT1657 page that you posted from :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Why it's like that I don't know, I don't think that Apple have said. -
I was watching a movie on my Apple TV and suddenly it stopped. I noticed I was logged out. Then I tried logging in again and I keep getting a message "cannot connect to iTunes". I restarted the Apple TV three times and tried again each time. I am stuck Help please
There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues! -

After burning to dvd, using idvd, movie stops on frame but audio continues
After creating imovie which works perfectly, and also after trasferring to idvd works perfectly, i have problems when playing back dvd after burning to disc. The movie stops but the audio continues. I altered the clip but same thing happened in next clip after next burn. I don't think its a corrupt clip, but maybe something to do with WHEN it occurs in the movie. Any suggestions? After 4 goes and many hours burning I am stumped!
Hi Tomma1
And welcome to apple discussions. It's good you chose to use 16 bit audio for all of your source material. And assuming this is accurate info .... From what I can tell, you are doing nearly everything correctly. However let me ask you a few questions.
1. Are you using the boot volume (the hard drive where iDvd and Leopard are actually located) to encode your dvd (yes/no)?
2. More importantly, does the disc image also go out of sync when played thru apple's dvd player app? or does it only happen on the burned dvd-r?
3. Are you using Verbatim Dvd-R or an alternate brand? if it's the latter, then for troubleshooting purposes while on this forum; please use Verbatim Dvd-R. (it helps us eliminate additional / possible variables). Thereafter feel free to use the media that works best for you and your mac.
4. Have you tried an alternate encoding setting other than pro quality setting? and do you get the same results? -
In the middle of a movie, the movie stops and it goes to the home screen. We can't watch it again, it basically just takes our money away, how do we fix it?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore) -

I am getting a lot of static when using Brookstone wireless headphones and watching movies on the Apple TV. I know it is not headphones, because they work fine when I switch it to cable TV, then the sound is clear with no static. Any suggestions? Which wireless headphones work best with the apple TV?
Ok so I've been doing more testing. It's all videos on the iTunes store. Anytime I try to download a podcast or stream it or anything it's super slow. To download an episode of Diggnation it tells me over 2 hours to download but the time keeps climbing and I just stop the transfer.
Some people said it's an Open DNS thing? Maybe it is but it's not computer specific and I couldn't find a way to change the DNS settings in my Airport, only on each computer. I tried deleting PLists and restoring my Apple TV and restoring my Airport and nothing is working.
I don't know if it an issue with me, my ISP or Apple. Anyone else experiencing this problem? -
Movie disappeared in Apple TV, general/downloads tab does not exist
Hi, I've just rented a movie using my Apple TV. The movie started running and after 5 minutes of watching, suddenly it stopped and disappeared. When I wanted to rent it again, I got the error that "the movie has already been rented so I need to go to setting/download... a tab which simply does not exist.
Anyway, I've tried general/itunesstore/check for rentals and it doesn't go anywhere as well.
As a result,
i cannot watch the movie because it just disappeared
i cannot rent it again because apple tv won't let me
apple tv will charge me and just because i don't think it's fair, i'll run after 2,99 for a couple of days to convince a call center operator.
isn't it just bad? apple's doing its worst lately. I've just had my skype gone blind in MacBook Air because they changed the software so that skype can't see the camera. (it's fixed now.)
i really want some people to feel themselves bad about their work down in cupertino.
Anyway, does anyone know what could be done?Hello pasink; Hello seanmoney302
Your problems are not unique: many people who use this forum have experienced the same thing you two have.
Here is a solution - first proposed by Corza from Australia - that worked for me:
In Apple TV, cursor over to Settings and check -
Settings > iTunes Store > Location
Settings > General > Time Zone
Settings > General > Region Format.
It was the last one that worked for me. The wrong country was selected under Region Format; as soon as I made the correction, everything returned to normal with my rentals.
I should add that another series of steps has worked for others.
Sign out of, then back into, iTunes. You will have to re-enter your Apple ID and password.
Restart Apple TV either from within the device itself, or by unplugging and waiting for 30 - 60 seconds, then plugging in again.
Good Luck to both of you. -

Movie stopped frequently (I assume, after each chapter)
On a Apple TV 2nd generation with latest OS 6.2.1 we had problems watching a rented movie. Although I reset our Wifi-Router and checked everything suggested for troubleshooting in the support pages (including a total restore of the device, updating to the latest OS version available), the movie stopped at about every single chapter and seemed to have issue loading the next chapter and/or recognizing me as valid user. After a dozen stops we decided to watch the rest of the movie on another device (Apple TV 3rd generation with OS 7.0.2) and had no problems viewing the movie at all.
As it still accepts movie rental I would expect, it shows the movie in one piece.
What can I do? Updating my older Apple TV beyond 6.2.1 doesn't seem to be an option?Your experience is not that uncommon. In order for a movie to stream smoothly, and uninterrupted, a fragile and complicated network must work perfectly.
Try power cycling your router. I find that sometimes helps. (Do this when not downloading.)
Check your internet download speed, you can do this at, www.speedtest.net.
1080p requires 8 Mbps, 720p requires a 6 Mbps, 480p requires a speed of 2.5 Mbps. I have 85 Mbps, and do not always get smooth, uniform, playback.
But, there is good news coming!
Technology experts are working on a movie storage system where YOU have physical possession of the movie.
This system stores the movie digitally on an optical disk system that will not be dependent upon a congested, complicated, and fragile network. Because all of the data is stored only a few feet from your television, all the bottlenecks are removed. Performance and reliability are virtually flawless.
Further, the system will not utilize any form of security codes, authentications, or passwords. Once the optical disc is purchased it can be moved around freely at will, and can even be lent or given to friends and neighbors with zero hassles. And if you don't like the movie, you can sell it for close to your purchase price!
