Music cuts out periodically while playing wirelessly through Apple TV

I've got a new-generation Qwest modem/router, and the distance between the router and the Apple TV isn't that far, so I don't think that's the problem. I'm wondering whether it more likely is the slow processor or minimal 2GB of RAM in my aging, low-end PC. Thoughts? Similar experiences? Thanks much.

unlikely as the itunes server is an old mac mini g4 with 512mb of RAM, and runs flawlessly streaming all my content (music and SD/HD video).

Airtunes music cuts out periodically

Hi,
I am on a wireless network. An airport extreme is the main router, and there is also an airport express set up with speakers connected for using airtunes. Both airports are close together, and usually I use my laptop from no more than 10 ft away from either of them with no thick walls or anything like that around. A kitchen with appliances is near by, but other laptops don't have an issues.
The problem is this: periodically my airtunes will just stop for 2-5 seconds as if someone had paused the music. Since no one else has issues I don't think this is airport related. And the range can't be the issue... And it happens no matter how many applications might be open.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks.

Music cutting out using wireless external speakers

i've been having problems with the music cutting out while playing. i have itunes 9.2.1 and have it set up wirelessly to external speakers. it doesn't cut out when playing on computer speakers. is this a speaker or wireless or itunes problem?

Could not agree more... thought it was the appletv, then my rarely used airport express, then started changing/upgrading wireless routers in the house. Have the latest stuff but, cannot stream from my laptop without it cutting out (streaming to a "wired" appleTV, no less).
Every once in a while, I'll get a combination that's just right and it will work, then after about 10 mins, starts the drops. I've changed stream settings, wireless router settings, everything I can find on the Inet as a possible suggestion. I concur it's got to be a iTunes software issue.

One weird thing: the drive never mounts on the desktop, the only way I can see it is to click on the TC in 'shared devices' in finder sidebar.
That's normal. A network drive won't mount by itself. You may want to add the drive to your login items and/or the login items of your boy's account.
He came over to update his iPod tonight. Now the library is inaccessible. It says that his account is not authorized for the folder.
Is that a USB drive? How have you defined access to that drive in AirPort Utility? If you set it to "Secure Shared Disks" "With accounts", you'll have to add his account.

Music cuts out at the start of every clip.

Hello I really need some help with Adobe Premiere Elements 8. Ive made one project and I go to add music to it and once it loads and everything is fine i press play and right at the start or very close to the start of every new video clip, the music cuts out, I pause and play the project and it works again! Untill you run into another clip and then it cuts out! Very frustrating, ive been using elements for a while now and I cannot figgure out what it is. Please Help!!

Hey, thanks for replying so quickly,
I converted the audio files to the .wav that you suggested. And no change, a bit more of an update with the problem; I find if at the start of every clip it cuts out, I am able to rewind a bit and wait for it to reload, and it works fine, but on initial playback it cannot. Also with a different movie I made it worked fine because the clips I used for it were all running at 100% playback speed. The ones I am having the trouble with are running at maximum speed (10,000%). I was also informed that I should tell you I am using a laptop, and therefor I have only one HDD if I am correct, (not very computer literate) and its a 250 GB, with 4GB of RAM. Running with about 60 GB of free space. I tried to look in control panel for the other information you requested and was unsuccesful. Maybe let me know where to find it and I can let you know.. And in the end I am assuming that Premiere is glitching out because of this small computer..........
I appreciate your help.........

BB Curve 8310 w/Jabra BT8040 Music Cut Outs

I listen to streaming radio (Pandora) through my BlackBerry Curve 8310 and had no trouble with standard wired headphones. Yesterday I got a Jabra BT8040 bluetooth headset and everything works great except that intermittently the music cuts out and then back on. I've noticed that every time this happens, the double arrows appear in the upper right hand of the phone screen indicating that the phone is sending or receiving data. Is this a buffering or cache issue that is interfering with the signal to the headset? I'm hoping that this is a simple fix 'cause the headset works great otherwise.

Hi
I should imagine you have not had a reply due to including such a huge amount of meaningless dribble with your post. We are just ordinary users and not used to dealing with such complexities. So lets have a look at the question alone
i am using 8310 curve which reboots radomly, it doesnt reboot in standby mode or while plugged in pc through usb, but if i use it randomly as like hearing music or making a call or texting anyone it reboots, so plz can anyone help me in this case, i would be greatful, here is my event log collected using jl_cmder, thankyou.
The Blackberry is designed to be reset by removing the battery whilst the device is powered-on. Leave the battery out for a minute or 2.
See if that resolves the problem.

Audio cutting out periodically

Just what the subject says. About a week ago I would unplug my external speakers from my Powerbook and the sound would not come out of the internal speakers. This could easily be fixed by plugging the headphone/speaker jack back in, and then taking it back out. The sound would come back.
Now the sound is cutting out periodically with and without headphones or speakers plugged in. This seems to happen randomly, whether I've been playing music or just using the computer without running any audio.
Any thoughts? I am thinking it's hardware problem, either the headphone jack itself or a short on the sound card. It's my understanding that the 'sound card' is on the motherboard and not easily replaceable, but we'll go there if we need to. Are there any easy fixes, or a way to test it to see what's wrong?

Hi gsgeorge
sounds a bit like a bad contact of the earphones-jack. I'd try to apply a tiny bit of electronic contact spray onto a plug, insert it into the socket and move it gently, if your lucky it might help.

Music Cutting out

I am working on a piece, 210 seconds long, based on a song. When exporting the finished show the music cuts out at the same point all the time. The song was downloaded from Itunes store, am I missing something....
I have created a small file @
www.steveandfiona.co.uk, use the video test link to see it.......
The music stops about 3/4 of the way through....
This is for use in a church service, and is my 1st attempt, so its not that good or massive. Could someone help, as I need this running for Sunday 18th Dec......
Thanks,
Steve

I think you may be running into limitations due to a lack of RAM. Motion loads everything into memory and you've got 210 seconds x 30fps x 1 MB per frame = 6300 MB or 6.3 GB. You appear to have less ram than that...
And you didn't say which version of Motion you are using. If 1.0, that would explain a lot - Motion's handling of audio has improved quite a bit in 2.0
What I would do is to export the video, then marry the video and audio in QuickTime. Load each into a player, create a new player, click on video, select all, copy, click on new player, paste, position to beginning of new player, click on audio, select all, copy, click on new player, under the edit menu, select "Add", save your new player.

Hi
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provocing it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
176x144
480x360
640x480
720x540 960x540
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Streaming music cuts out when downloading

I have an old Airport Express (802.11g). When streaming music from my MacBook Pro, the music cuts out when I start my downloads (usually when the download speed reaches 0.5mb/s or above on Bittorrent/Unison). Two questions:
1) Is this a bug or just due to the limitation of the device?
2) I am planning on purchasing the new Apple TV to stream videos from my MacBook to my TV. Would my current Airport Express handle this (i.e. downloading and streaming videos to Apple TV) or do I need to upgrade my Airport Express to the latest 802.11n?
Thanks in advance.

Most probably Premiere Elements is causing the rotation you are experiencing
That is because the recent versions of Premiere Elements do not recognize the rotation indicator set in a photo file. However the Photoshop Elements Organizer does recognize a photo orientation indicator set within the photo file when displaying thumbnails and displaying the photo file.
At this point for this slide show,
it might be simplest to initiate an edit in Photoshop Elements of each of the portrait orinetation photo files that are in this slide show -- so that the pixels within the photo file itself can be rotated and saved as a new photo file. .
In the future,
-- it would probably be simpler to multiple select thumbnails in the Organizer and rotate those photo thumbnails (once 90 degrees and then a second time back in the opposite direction 90 degrees).
-- most cameras that set rotation indicators in a photo file also have an option not to set that indicator which then usually results in portrait orientation photos displaying sideways in the Elements Organizer until you rotate them yourself. (to me this is a second choice approach but it is a possibility)

Music cuts out on my iPhone 5s

why does my recorded music cut out sometimes on my iPhone 5S?

On your computer, is there more than one profile that can be logged into? Each login user has its own library.

Music cuts out after a few seconds or goes straight back to menu since I downloaded iTunes 11. Never had this problem since I bought apple tv 2 years ago.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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.

Recently I purchased a tv show on iTunes when playing it through apple TV it constantly renders while playing

Recently I purchased a tv show on iTunes, when playing it through apple TV it constantly renders while playing on the Samsung tv which takes forever too watch.
Hope someone can advise if I am doing something wrong.
My laptop is directly under the tv however my modum is in another room so it is operating through Wifi.
Thank you

Restart all devices and the router to see if it helps. May or may not.
If you Purchased in iTunes on the laptop ensure you are playing back on AppleTV via the Computers icon not under the main TV Shows icon which will reload from the web.
I would move the laptop away from the TV in case it's causing interference to teh wifi though clearly an AppleTv might have the same issue but is designed to sit next to the TV.
If you were playing via Computers and it's still slow you could connect an ethernet cable between AppleTv and laptop, keep wifi on the laptop for internet via the router, and enable intrenet sharing over ethernet in System Preferences > Sharing so AppleTV can do an internet authorisation. Hopefully restarting iTunes/router will just do the trick though.
Do you have any non-Apple security software eg NetBarrier, if so try disabling to see if it was detecting AppleTV as an intrusion threat due to multiple connection attempts.

Hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

ITunes Cuts Out Periodically When Using Airport Express

I have a new Airport Express (with current software) hooked up to my Bose Home Theater system. I am streaming iTunes the Stereo but it periodically cuts out. Apple Help had me reset my Extreme and 2x Expresses to Channel 6. Still cuts out periodically, but much less than before. Anyone else seen this and can offer what to do?
Thanks,

i just bought a brand new airport express from apple and hooked it up to my brand new speakers. it also started periodically cutting out. so i followed apple's advice and tried different channels on my router. i went from 1 to 11 and still had the same problem.
then i tried decreasing my security down to WEP 40-bit. still had the same problem.
then i tried moving the airport to the middle of the room, about 6 feet away from both router and macbook pro. still the same problem. btw - i was using an optical cable from airport to speakers.
then i removed all security from my belkin router - and it worked. in the end i sent it back to apple for a refund. there's no way i can have my router running without security.
