My Apple TV buffers TV content but is fine with Movies

I can easily watch a movie that I have purchased from the Apple TV with absolutely no buffering, but every time I try and watch a television show that I have purchased from the Apple TV it buffers in a way that I can't bear to watch it. This is clearly not a network problem on my end. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.
If this doesn't help, try restoring it.

Superdrive no longer recognizes CD, but works fine with DVD

my Superdrive seems to have a problem recognizing any type of CD media, but works fine with DVD media.
I reinstalled Leopard and still the same problem. I also zapped the NVRAM (this is an Intel 2.0 Ghz Mac Mini w/ 2 GB Ram.
Is there anything else I can do or do I just need to replace the drive?

Typically when this sort of symptom appears, it relates to a hardware failure, either due to a faulty lens, or dirt. You might try a lens cleaner to ensure it is not the latter.
Since this is a 2.0GHz mini, it ought to be still under warranty - if that is the case it would be wise to have Apple, or an approved service provider, check it and undertake any necessary repairs.

Mac Pro Dual Quad Core won't boot OS/X, but plays fine with Linux/Windows

I've got a Mac Pro Dual Quad Core won't boot OS/X, but plays fine with Linux/Windows. I've tried all of the following initial tests as suggested on forums:
-Ram swaps
-Alternating video card in PCIe slots
-Trying alternate video card
-resetting pram and smc
-Multiple tests with memtest86+ over 26hrs and no failed ram
-Multiple tests (8-12 cycles) with apple HW diagnostics and no problems
-Firmware is approved firmware for early 2008 model...no new updates.
Gentoo livecd works fine and I even installed to hard drive and it boots fine with it. In addition to above tests I also ran a linux stress test putting all 8 cores at a load of 22 for 2.5hrs with no problems.
Memtest86+ for 24hrs+ yields no problems.
Where problems occur:
Booting off hard drive, DVD or firewire yields an immediate curtain of death and booting off a new snow leopard DVD dies about 25% into the install.
Looking at error log and a quick dmesg shows "Package 0 didn't get an HPET" and complains about AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext. Google turns up illegal uses of this, so doesn't apply to my use case.
I'm a bit stumped since all was working well until one day it was non-stop curtains of death and can't get them to go away.
A logic board replacement at $1100 is not a feasible option for something that works on linux and windows, but not OS/X, is a bit disappointing and somewhat surprising.
Thanks for your help and advice.
Regards,
Marcos

Someone here once thought they knew EFI and Open Firmware a little, and used some commands from OF library that an Intel EFI Apple system didn't like. New logicboard.
Of course to run or boot OS X and see video you need EFI based card. The presence of some PC cards can block OS X from booting.
The fact you get part way through SL DVD, pull all the drives, put in a new drive and format it from SL DVD.
Most of the things you tried are what are more common with PC hardware. Including where people have tried and failed to install OS X on unsupported hardware.
I suppose it is possible something tried and failed to modify the Mac's firmware.
If you have Windows running, and you have WD drives, WD just posted new Lifeguard utility which is what I use to do a good job of stripping a drive down and recertify it for reuse, works wonders. Maybe same for other makes with vendor utility.

Hi,
Any one have this issue?
HP ProBook 5220m (Bios Version F50) Fan not working with battery power but work fine with adapter plugged in.
This issue was found in my replacement motherboard. the original mother do not have this issue.
The origianl mother to be replace is due to can't power on after a power failure recovery. I believe was due to power surge killed the motherboard's power controller circuitry.
Appreciate any one can provide clue for resolving the problem.
I have tried to install speedfan to try my luck, but it can't any fan in the application to configure. (Bios Version F50)

Apple script to replace content in specific folders with folder names in csv

Can anyone please help me with this scenario... It would greatly be appreciated!
1. I have a list in csv containing 3 columns: Column 1 = Folder name • Column 2 = Entry A • Column 3 = Entry B
2. I have 100 folders named the same as Column 1. in each folder there is different files.
This is what I need.
I need the script to to find the folder based upon column 1.
Then the script should search for place holder named "Entry A" and replace it's contents with data from Column 2. There are several files with in the folder that contain place holder "Entry A" so it should replace it all but must remain with in that folder.
Then same for column 3 find place holder named Entry B and replace.
Then it should save all files.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

ITunes freezes when syncing with iPhone, but works fine with iPod?

It's a bit of a long story with my iPhone/iTunes problem. In late July, my iPhone stopped syncing properly. It's an iPhone 4. Basically, I tried to add more photo albums to sync onto my phone, something I have done before. It began syncing, then notified me that it couldn't sync 'x' amount of photos. It was a pop up on my phone screen. I tried deleting my cache in My Pictures, still errors. Then it seems like everything possible has just glitched when I sync as weeks went on. It wouldn't sync music. The songs would appear gray and failed to play. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesn't. Now, iTunes freezes when it reaches the end of the sync and I have to ctrl+alt+del to close iTunes as it stops working.
I took my iPhone to apple, and she ran diagnostics and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. She told me she couldn't run diagnostics on my iTunes because it's a Windows laptop and she's "not trained to work with them". She said everything seemed fine with my iPhone and asked if it was possible if I have a virus. I've had no other problems with my laptop whatsoever and I have a decent virus protector that we pay for monthly.
I have tried restoring my phone twice, with a backup. I tried again WITHOUT a backup, and still, it freezes when it syncs, some songs are gray on my iPhone and won't play, and photos refuse to sync, period.
I then tried syncing my dad's iPod with my iTunes, and it worked. I also tried syncing my iPhone on my dad's laptop, and it worked. So something is clearly glitching between specifically my phone and my iTunes. I'm avoiding uninstalling iTunes at all costs because I don't want to lose play count information as the majority of my playlists are created this way. I thought iOs 7 or iTunes 11 (now 11.1) would fix it, but neither did.
Can anyone determine what the problem could be and how to fix it?

the same thing is happening with me. itunes will freeze and then it wont put songs on my ipod.
im starting to get upset since i just went out and bought a new ipod. thinking that was the problem.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Macbook Pro does not see Fast Ethernet but works fine with Gigabit Ethernet

Hi to everybody,
It is some time I have a problem connecting my unibody Macbook Pro (late 2008) to the ethernet cables in my office. There are 16 wall jacks in the lab, of which 13 are Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) and 3 are Gigabit Ethernet. No matter what I do, if I connect to the 100 Mbit/s jacks, my Macbook does not see the connection and keeps saying "Cable unplugged". If I switch to a Gigabit jack, then a connection is quickly established.
I have spent one whole afternoon debugging. Here is what I did:
My computer dual boots Mac OS X and Linux. No matter which operating system I use, the problem is the same.
Using different Cat.5 cables does not change the situation (I tried three of them.)
All the 13 Fast Ethernet jacks do not work.
All the 3 Gigabit jacks work smoothly.
What puzzles me is that my computer happly uses the newest technology (Gigabit ethernet) but has problems with the oldest one. Has somebody else experienced the same problem?

After a lot of struggle, I discovered that other people had this very issue as well. It seems that the cause is a faulty Realtek chip used in the ethernet cards of some MacBooks and other brands. There is apparently no way to fix this: I solved my problems by buying a Gigabit Ethernet switch which I connected to the Fast Ethernet wall jack. (Another option might be to use a Ethernet-to-USB adapter - but I did not try this as I have no adapter of this kind.)

A Tuxedo server hangs at tmboot with Tuxedo 12.1.3, but works fine with 10.0

We have been running a Tuxedo server with pretty much the same logic in the sample code below in our systems for years on AIX (OS level 6100) with Tuxedo 10-32 bit. We are upgrading to Tuxedo 12.1.3 (12cr2) now. The code is compiled fine with Tuxedo 12, however, it just hangs at tmboot. We have tried on multiple servers (all AIX), but it hung on all the servers with tmboot. Is there anyone in the forum ran into the same problem?

We have a tuxedo service which needs to communicate with a POS device by socket. The parent process provides the tuxedo service. The child process provides the connection management for the device. Unnamed pipe is used for communication between the parent and the child. In the child process, there is no code related to tuxedo. The benefit of that design is the tuxedo server does not need to wait for connection from the device when boots up, and the tuxedo service does not need to wait for connection from the device when the service is called.
The tuxedo server was developed 10 years ago, and worked fine till we upgraded tuxedo from 10 to 12 recently. That means it worked for 10 years, and it worked in tuxedo 6.5, tuxedo 10. But in tuxedo 12, tmboot does not return for this tuxedo server. We have to press CTRL-C and yes to cancel. After cancel, the tuxedo service seems working fine.

One of my pages loads as a script instead of the site but works fine with IE

One of my pages loads fine with IE but does not with Mozilla. Shows a bunch of characters and with no errors.

Something has gone seriously wrong when to code of that page got saved (the "<" characters).<br />
It looks like some mixture of UTF-16 code, but Firefox (and Google Chrome) can't make sense of it and display the text instead.
You will have to save that page as Unicode UTF-8 and upload the correct code to the server.

Hp 3510 prints only blank pages from i-pad, but works fine with xp configured lap top. why? help!

i have an hp3510 wireless printer that worked fine with both my i-pad and on my laptop when 1st installed. now it will only print blank pages with the i-pad although it still works fine when using my xp configured laptop. can anyone tell me how to correct the i-pad problem so that i can print wirelessly using that device?
thanks!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I would start by powering down the Apple device, make sure that you hold the power button down, and slide the bar on the screen to "Off". If you have more that 1 iOS device that you use with the printer (like another iPad or an iPhone) power them down at the same time. Then turn them all back on and try to print to the printer.
If still having a problem, I would then power down the printer, router, and Apple device.
1. Unplug the router, (most do not have an on/off button)
2. power down printer and Apple device
3. Wait about 20-30 seconds
4. Plug router back in and wait for it to be fully operational and all the light on it back as they were before unplugging it.
5.Power printer and apple device back on (check to settings of iPad to make sure that it is still on the same network as printer and that "Ask to join other networks" is ON).
6. Reattempt to print

Updated to Tiger, stuck on grey screen BUT boots fine with option key

I've searched the forum and found many other similar threads. But no real answers for my particular problem. Here it is. iMac 800 MHz G4, 512 RAM was on 10.3.9. Updated to 10.4.5. Then booted from a firewire hard drive and fixed permissions and ran Disk Warrior. Now when I try to boot up normally it just stays on a blank grey screen. No Apple logo. No spinning wheel, nothing. Weird thing is it boots up fine if I hold down the option key at start up and select the hard drive. So, I've done that and repaired permissions and run disk utility. Says everything is OK. Even zapped the PRAM. But still, only way to get it to boot is by holding option key and choosing hard drive. Any ideas?

Hi Steve, What other start up options are you seeing when you boot with the 'Option' key? Have you tried a 'Safe Boot"? Hold down the 'Shift' key while restarting until (hopefully) you see the spinning gear wheel. Wait while it restarts, this takes a lot longer. If you can boot into 'Safe mode' then in System Preferences>System>Start up disk, make sure that your hard drive is selected.
If you can't boot into 'Safe mode' (you should be able to) then when you have booted with the 'Option' key, follow the 'System Preferences' advice above. Select your hard drive & 'Restart'.
Also have a look at
Dr Smoke's Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items.
For future reference, bookmark his X-Lab home page. There is a wealth of helpful information. Obviously he'd like you buy his 'Troubleshooting' e-Book, but there's loads there for free.
As Dr Smoke would say: "Good luck! "
Have fun too!

PDF files not able to view with mac os but working fine with other browers even i downloaded pdf plugins

Hi,
On Apple Mac i am not able to view/open pdf files even i downloaded adobe reader plugins but same thing i can open with help of other browsers like chrome. And with firefox i am getting below message when try to open pdf files.
"It appears you don't have Adobe Reader or PDF support in this web browser. Click here to download Adobe Reader".
I want to fix it for my client.
So please suggest me to fix this.

When you install or update Adobe Reader, it installs a plugin for viewing PDF files inside Firefox and sets that as the default. The problem is that this plugin does not work. In order to view PDF files again follow these steps

Ad page for one site won't display, but works fine with Internet Explorer

Main page of one site displays fine, but ad page won't. Works fine under Internet explorer. Didn't have problem before.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove your live.com cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
