Movie stops every 15 min

when I try watching the movie I have on my iPod touch it stops after like 15 mins. I have to restart and ff to where I was. The video will play again & then stop again.

Sorry - I hope my message didn't come off as sounding rude, not my intention.
I agree that it's maddening to have to purchase additional hardware to fix something that should work out of the box. I'm with you there - especially since every single other peripheral that I use on my onboard USB ports works great, leading me to believe that this is a iPod Touch issue, not an issue with my onboard USB ports.
But, this issue has been around since the Ipod touch was released, and so far, there has been no fix from Apple (over six months). In my case, spending $10 on a PCI USB card was well worth it. It took less than 5 minutes to install, and my iPod has worked flawlessly ever since. If you have read the other posts, and you have the same symptoms, then you might want to give it a try. By the way, I haven't read a single post from anyone where adding a secondary USB card didn't solve this problem.
Your last sentence sounds like you are getting very frustrated. I hope this all works out for you - let us know how it goes!

Mpg movies stops every 7 seconds

Recently, every time I try to play an mpg movie on QuickTime, the movie stops every 7 seconds approx.
This started not long ago, and before that, all mpg movies played perfectly. I'm not aware of having made any changes in the QuickTime preferences or any other QuickTime feature. Is this a problem of the player or of the movies I have?
I already re-installed QuickTime, but the problem is still there.
macmini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to repair the broken time
code in the .mpg file.
Ok guys, thanks. The files didn't seem to have any broken timecode, so the app didn't make any changes to the files, but I exported the video to QuickTime and that solved the problem -although it took forever-.
Is there any faster way to do it? Anyway, it helped a lot to know about the Streamclip app. Thank you again.

Why does the movie stop every 5 minutes?

Movie stops every 5 minutes, despite excellent bandwidth and signal strength,

I have a similar issue with my Home Sharing. Everything plays just fine on my Apple TV except when I try to play a movie using Home Sharing. If I choose the same show or movie from the Purchased section of iTunes it works just fine but nothing ever loads for me on Home Sharing.
Not the exact same issue, but very similar. Good luck, I'm hoping to learn something here too!

I rented a movie about 45 mins ago. It stopped downlaoding at 20 mins of the movie. It gives me an error message and wont finish downloading.

I paid to watch a movie, why is it stopping every other minute?

This iTunes movie rental is a waste of my money. I feel frustrated more than anything right now. According to a speed test I have a download rate of 6+ mbps but the movie I paid for is stopping every 5 minutes. I will do whatever I can to not give my money to apple for this service ever again.
I tried changing from HD to standard definition but it hasn't changed for this movie, I'm guessing it will change for the next movie. This is a major flaw. I would be happy to watch the movie at a lower streaming rate as long as it didn't stop. I'm officially will be trying Amazon Prime next, hopefully their server farm can handle the load.
If anyone has any proven suggestions please pass them along.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

Just rented a movie on apple tv and it keeps starting and stopping every few minutes. have restarted in settings. have unplugged and replugged apple tv. any other suggestions?

The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

Why does the movie I bought off of iTunes stop every 5 seconds and then skip through the scenes it missed? ( I am playing the movie on an HP Compac )

Once the movie stops, the audio stops, but then after 5 seconds or so it will speed up to try to catch up with the rest of the movie. I bought the movie in HD for 14.99 and if it keeps acting up like this I am afraid it's going to crash my computer. Please, this is so frustrating

You are more lucky than me, mine will go about 8 seconds...audio stops but the song is still playing. I have to quit iTunes and occasionally I can get it to work normal for a while. Shuffle is broke, help is broke, iTunes needs a MAJOR update and QUICK!. I can't live without me musics.

When I play either music or movies on my ipod touch it stops every few seconds and I have to restart the song/film. AT the same time, it won't hold a volume contol. It jumps louder or softer, or simply jams on either very low or maximum volume. Help

No one here is going to do anything about it. Send feedback to Apple.

Flash movies stop after a random amount of time,

The problem that I am having is that flash movie files (Every website) play for a moment or two and then stop with the little “loading” symbol turning endlessly in the center of the screen. Flash movies used to work with no problem but over the span of the last few months it went from not working well to not working at all. In a perhaps related problem sometimes downloads will stop after a certain length of time and also seem to “hang” at a random spot. If I pause the reload and then restart it the program or whatever will usually finish downloading. This doesn’t happen often but does happen. The flash movie thing, though, happens every time – no matter what browser I have tried. (Firefox, IE, IE with no add-ons, and Chrome anyway.)
I have tried solutions that I have found all across the internet, including the Adobe and Microsoft forums, to no avail. I have unloaded flash with the Adobe uninstaller and reloaded flash. I have tried various flash releases – with and without a firewall on. I have made sure that I am using the 32 bit version of IE and even tried running everything in “administrator mode.” I’ve upgraded every driver that I can upgrade. I’ve used a registry checker as a last resort. I even used the Dell partition to return my computer back to the condition that it was in when I bought it and that didn’t change anything either.
Everything I have tried has made zero difference. In the hopes that someone will have another idea for me to try I am putting all the stats for my computer that I can think of below.

Thank you for answering eidnolb -
Answering your questions...
Have you had a Virus and if so what Anti-Virus program removed it?
No virus that I am aware of
Since you have a Dell, McAfee came pre-installed? Did you remove it prior to Installing MSE? If so, did you use the McAfee Removal Tool or just remove it from Control Panel/Programs & Features?
My computer did come with McAfee which isn't on my computer now. I used a program called "Decrapifier" that removes unwanted preloaded software that comes with PCs.
Is McAfee still Installed?
No
Do you have any Anti-Virus/Spyware programs other than MSE?
No - I have just used MSE until now. I thought about using AVAST but was't sure what running 2 virus/spyware programs would be like.
Since MSE doesn't have a Firewall, do you use any Firewall other than Windows? If so, which?
I use Windows Firewall. I have tried both adding Youtube as an allowed program and switching the firewall off enirely with no luck.
Do you use a Router? Is it Wireless?
I do have a Lynksys router that is a little older but I've also tried hooking the modem directly to the computer.
Is Qwest wireless?
I use the wired ports and not the wireless for my connection.
Other than IE8, what browsers and versions are Installed now?
I only have IE8 now. I never reinstalled the other browsers after using the Dell partition. I prefer Firefox so having to use IE is frustrating.
I've also used "RegestryBooster" to make sure that my regestry looked okay.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer. I think you are right about me doing too much - LOL

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!

Movies stop playing while downloading

This is getting very bad - I bought this in the hopes that I could just click and rent.
I have an extremely high speed 50mbps Fibre Optic connection, and if I rent even a non HD movie on the atv2, it stops after 10 mins and doesn't resume.
I then have to press menu and press play. It starts instantly then. This only works for about 10 times, and then I cant resume at all.
Anyone with advice? Of course I have tried rebooting the device, restarting my Router etc. By the way my atv2 has ethernet cable directly to the router.
Thanks.

I have a similar problem, I had to uninstall and then re-install itunes because it kept messing up on me and when I reinstalled it, my digital movies stopped working. All my songs work fine and my movies are still stored in the library, but they won't open. I just get a black screen with no sound and it doesn't play.
Does anyone have an answer to this? I'm new to this site and tried to create a new thread asking about this but can't seem to find a button/link on these forum pages to let me do that.

I have purchased a new mini mac and I want to leave the library where it is on the external drive but move to new mini mac and have it show as it did on the old mini mac..
what do i need to do ?
I have found multitude of articles about moving itunes to external drive or other similar things but I don't want to move itunes from the external drive, just change mini mac machines and have everything in itunes the same..
Thanks

I had already tried that one and got this...
below is screen shot of what is on the new mac mini
and what is on the external drive now connected to the new mac mini..
There are no media files on the mac mini just the library files and on external just media files..
Do I need to copy anything over from the old mac mini ? xml files ? .. the itunes folder on old mini is about 840mb in size which looks to have artwork ect ? .. I am fairly computer literate, but this one has me stumped.. ?
thanks for help

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?

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.

How can I play a movie in iTunes mini player? (Progress bar button broken?)

It took forever to figure out how to get iTunes to even OPEN a new window for movie playback, but once I finally found instructions (click the button with movie art to the left of the progress bar to open in new window) they only partially worked. A new window opens, but movie playback continues in the main window. The new window shows a freeze frame of the scene displayed at the moment I clicked the progress bar button. The new window looks just like the mini player, and its control buttons work, but they effect the main window's movie playback not the new window/mini player where I want to watch the movie.
Is it my progress bar that's broken? I'm all updated with iTunes version 11.1.5. Does this version not play well with my OS X 10.6.8?
Ultimately I just want to be able to play a movie in the mini player while using other applications; surely that's possible.
[Also, on the "Operating System" dropdown menu below, I just selected OS X 10.6.8 and then the dropdown showed "No operating system selected" and the selection arrows no longer work. Any ideas what happened? My MacBook Old feels so janky right now.]

You need to convert the AVI file to MP4. Here is just one of the many converters available (via Google) http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/oca/mp4-converter?gclid=CJnqnpaF37gCFc fJtAod8RUAeg
