My purchased movies hang every few minutes until I reboot AppleTV

I have recently purchased and rented several movies to view via my AppleTV. Unfortunately, though my internet connection is fine (I checked), my connection to the iTunes Store keeps getting interrupted in the middle of the movies and it doesn't reconnect. I have to reboot the AppleTV to reconnect to iTunes Store and restart a movie. This is pretty annoying to have to keep getting up and doing in the middle of a movie and I've already missed the ending of a rental due to this. Never had the issue before last weekend but it's been ongoing for several days now. Appreciate any help! Thanks in advance.

Outlook hanging every few minutes - Portege R500

Hi guys - have this maddening problem that when outlook 2003 is connected (via vpn or lan) the whole computer freezes every minute or so. I can see the hard drive light going solid but there doesn't seem to be any particular process that taking all the CPU cycles.
Has anyone else experienced this? Im on XP

Thanks for the feedback.
I would have posted earlier but for some reason i couldn't log on. I got so frustrated with the darned thing in the end that i created a bootable xp disc. Then wiped the whole drive (image and all) and installed Vista on it.
Then outlook. Works great thank heavens.
I think, to be honest, that my initial installation must have been screwed up and that it was prob a software rather than a hardware issue.
Loving vista suprisingly!

Jcreator hangs every few minutes

it hangs at random intervals. I don't know why, I've tried reinstalling it but it still happens.

I think JCreator 2.5 is rather old, so i think it was designed for Window 98/ME/2000
The current version is 3 (i think)..so you should upgrade to te latest version....beside..it's much better...more control over the IDE and lots of new features (code-folding, better output window, code-insight, etc..)
however, i have used JCreator 2.5 on Window 2000 and XP and have no problem with it hanging on me.
my only thought is this:
1) you created an application using JFrame)
2) you ran the application
3) you click the frame "x" close button, but there's no code to handle WindowClosing
This result in the frame being close, but the java process is still running
If this is the case, you have the following option:
1) ctrl-alt-del to bring up task manager..and click the "process" tab. Find java.exe process and kill it.
2) add a windowlistener to the application (best solution) to exit the program gracefully.
3) upgrade to JCreator 3
4) find another IDE (JavaBeginner/JEdit)

Why does my Mozilla Firefox 6.02 hang every few minutes. Its has been going on for years. "Not Responding" you can close and reopen and its fine, or wait 30 seconds and it goes back to normal, others like MSN, Opera, Chrome not having this problem.

Oh and before I get disable your add ons, update and any other Generic crap. I did. ALL of that. Deleted Firefox completely then reinstalled it. Still the same error, my laptop in my office no problems my desktop "Not responding" wow.

Switched to chrome on that computer. Seems to be the only solution that works. Mozilla, I know you are a good browser, I have sung your praises for years. But if you need to do all that technical stuff to get it to stop. Its really easier just to download another browser. Sorry. If you get your glitched corrected, I would be happy to come back. But I'm sorry I don't have that much time to waste.

TS4003 Since the MobileMe move I keep getting a screen that says "IDisk Conflict Resolver." I've done everything asked to "resolve" the problem but it keeps popping up every few minutes. How can I get rid of this?

Since the MobileMe move I keep getting a pop-up screen that says "IDisk Conflict Resolver." I've done everything asked to "resolve" the problem but it keeps popping up every few minutes. How can I get rid of this?

Ok....so I have found a work around....if not a complete solution.
I'm not sure if deleting your music, uninstalling ITunes and reinstalling and adding your music back will actually affect it but I tried it again. Started from scratch.
I checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos"
Then I moved my music to phone via drag and drop, usually just boxing a row of albums at a time.
I went back into my Iphone and began the sync. The message popped up, "1 Item could not be synced" and the sync stopped. At that point, I just clicked sync again and it started back up again. It took a few go's but eventually I got all my music on my phone.
Ironically enough, the only songs that wouldn't sync were songs that I had actually purchased from Itunes....kinda odd

Every few minutes I receive a "not responding" message and I can do nothing until it goes away.

Every few minutes (sometimes in less than 60 sec., Firefox will hang up. If I try to keep typing I'll get a "not responding" message and will have to wait until it goes away to continue. This happens consistently when going through my e-mail, but it happens at other sights, whenever I have to type an entry. I have tried disabling all my add-ons and it still happens. I have deleted Firefox and reloaded it and the problem still occurs. I am on the verge of going back to Microsoft Explorer because it is taking far too long to navigate in Firefox. I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, on a one-year-old Dell laptop with plenty of speed, memory and hard drive space.

I use apple TV to watch Netflix. How can I stream the movie, so it doesn't stop every few minutes?

Why does the Netflix not streaming all at once, instead of every few minutes, interrupting the movie.

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 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. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Bought HDMI adapter to play movies from my iPad but it will stop every few minutes, Bought HDMI adapter to play movies from my iPad but it will stop every few minutes

Once I begin to play a movie from my iPad to the TV using the HDMI adapter it will pause and lose sound every few minutes. I am using the video app and the movie plays fine if not connected.
I have also checked to make sure that everything is connected properly.

Well, I thought it was solved... or at least solved enough to live with. I had originally installed 2.6.31 from testing to try and fix this issue, and it substantially improved, but now it's gotten worse again. At home on a WPA network, it drops maybe once or twice a day. Here on this unencrypted network, it's going out once or twice every half hour. Same error messages as above.
I tried reinstalling, but ended up with the same errors almost right away. This bites!
Anyone have any other ideas to try?
Thanks,
Scott
EDIT: I tried rebuilding rt2x00-rt71w-fw from source. PKGBUILD has the incorrect source link. So I actually went to the ralink site, downloaded the (hopefully correct) driver package, unzipped it and copied rt73.bin to /usr/lib/firmware --overwrote the existing copy. I haven't got any errors yet, but it's only been 20 minutes so far. We'll see. I'm not sure if it's the identical rt73.bin that's currently in the repos or if it's different. Forgot to compare the two before I overwrote the old one.
EDIT2: No luck with the different rt73.bin. Also tried the new Ubuntu karmin beta and got the same errors -- and a freeze when I pulled the adapter out when it stopped working.

After Effects CS6 hangs for about 20 seconds every few minutes or so.

I'm using AE CS6 and every few minutes (anywhere from 5 to 20) it'll just hang for about 20 seconds. The spinning Windows 7 wheel pops up, then when I click AE it goes transparent white and "not responding" pops up in the title bar. I wait about 20 seconds and everything returns to normal. I can't figure out WHAT could be causing this as there's no log or error to really check.
32 gigs of RAM on a Xeon E3 v2 Ivy Bridge chip. 660 Ti Nvidia card. Windows 7 Pro.
It's such a weird vague problem, that I don't know how to troubleshoot it. Multiprocessing of frames is turned off. 24 gigs allocated to AE.

Figured it out, at least so far. I upped the amount of GPU RAM it was allowing AE to use. I swear I did this before, but apparently didn't. So now..no hangs. I'm sure at some point I'll work on a hefty enough project to bottleneck the GPU, but at least I'm good for now.

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.

My Airport Extreme Disconnects From the Cable MoDem Every Few Minutes

Hello,
I start a new topic as my previous title was wrong and there was no suitable answer.
I have had an Airport Extreme for 3 years and it sometimes disconnects after a few minutes. Actually, it more looks like that the Airport crashes: the "PC Link" light on the cable modem goes off, the Airport lights go off and I cannot find my Airport Network any more on my computer.
When this happens, I can either unplug it from the power and plug it back in, or simply move the Airport around a little bit, and it will re-start. Sometimes the problem does not re-occur for a few hours or days, sometimes it keeps happening every few minutes and of course drives me crazy...
Is it because ... :
- ... my Airport has a faulty connection and I should replace it?
- ... there are power surges in my electricity installation (eg this seems to happen when I or my neighbors have air conditioners on, I live in one of those old New York buildings with old electricity installations), and I should get an anti-surge device, or a newer Airport would deal with this better?
- ... of something else? I tried replacing the Ethernet cable between the MoDem and the Airport and it failed, there does not seem to be a source of interference around my place.
Thanks for your help!

I have had similar problems. Not as bad as some of you but usually in the morning I discover that I have dropped onto someone elses wireless they are not as fast. Then I have to troop upstairs, unplug the Extreme, replug it and then everything is allright until the next morning. But it is sporadic. It has run fine now for a few days. This problem has persisted now for a year. And yes I have tried resetting it.
Next month I plan on going to the big city and I am going to take my Extreme to one of Genius' at the Apple Store. I am curious if anybody else has tried that solution and how much it might cost.

Illustrator CS4 crashes every few minutes.

I have huge problems because the program crashes every few minutes, when doing all sort of things but mainly when moving objects and clipping masks.
It even damages some files, once it crashes I tried to open the file and the program cannot do it.
Please help, my boss is killing me and gave me a warning already for low performance... Auch!
I know it is not the computer cause I di have a nice dual processor dual core computer with 4 Gb or RAM and multiple hard drives with at least 350 Gb free on each.
I have heard a way to stop all services through the registry but not sure if that will do the trick and how to actually do it but I'm desesperated at this point I can try anything.
Any Idea?
Thanks
Daniel

Daniel, presuming you have tried the closedown suggested in post #2:
Is the folder also empty if you look with Illy open or after closing it instead of crashing it?
If it is, it may be worth to make a search for the Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder and see whether a live/corrupted one may be tucked away somewhere else.
In a serious case like this, you may consider moving/deleting the whole folder. Full instructions are shown in the hint Move the folder.
If nothing helps, you may consider to:
Reinstall Acrobat;
Search and destroy adobefnt**.list files;
Move all non system fonts out of the Font folder (or whatever it is called on a Mac); if that solves the issue, move them back in bundles until you find the corrupt one(s).
If nothing else helps, you may consider reinstalling, and this technote may be relevant if a normal reinstall does not help: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html

Stalling every few minutes.

I purchased my MacBook Pro last October, and I've had to take it in to the Apple Store twice already within the span of a few months. The first time, they replaced the hard drive cable, and the second, they replaced the hard drive itself. Since I got it back the last time, it's been stalling every few minutes. The little spinning loading wheel shows up and everything freezes for a few minutes, but I'm able to move my mouse around. I have no idea what's going on with it, and I'm dreading having to take it in again, considering I live so far away from the closest Apple store. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Does it stall when you do certain things ? or even without any activity ?
You should boot from your MacBook Pro DVD and if it doesn't freeze there, then it would be the HD or the SATA cable connecting the hard drive to the SATA port on the Main Logic Board or the on-board SATA port itself (the last one is very rare to occur however I faced it a couple of times before). Further if your Mac OS X DVD won't boot normally or having the same issue, then very likely, it would be the SATA controller which is basically the most important chip on the MLB (Integrated North & South Bridge) which connects everything together including the Processor, memory and Storage. The SuperDrive is connecting using a different SATA port on the MLB but also shared to everything through the integrated bridge chip. At this case, if you have any installed Mac OS on an external FireWire or USB drives, you should try booting from it.
First, and after booting from the DVD and select your language, go to the Menu Bar > Utilities > Disk Utility, then select your hard dive volume from the list on the left (should be Macintosh HD by default) and on the right section click on Verify Disk on the bottom right corner then see if that will return errors or tells you the disk is OK, if it returns errors then click on Repair Disk and wait to see if it will fix these errors or not, if it returns the disk to be OK, then you might have one of the two other causes.
I'm of course assuming that your issue is not by anyway related to software or OS. As you had been already visiting Apple and they addressed the issue with the cable then the HD.
Also you should hurry up because your machine will get out of warranty soon unless if you have purchased AppleCare.
