Netflix only plays for a minute or so and then returns to start

Suddenly my shows won't play for more than a minute or two and then they go back to the play menu. I can fast forward through shows, but they will NOT play. Have tried unplugging, rebooting--nothing seems to work. I'm really irritated....reported shows to Netflix but don't expect anything from there. I can't watch a **** thing! Any suggestions??

The newest version of the Nano is the 6th Generation. It is easily found on the website, either under the "Store" or "Support" tabs at the top of this page.
Here is the link to the Nano 6th Generation user manual:

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

HT203175 Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, The movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Any ideas on a cure?

Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, the movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Does it with all movies in the library, Most where downloaded from Itunes. Any ideas on a cure?

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

TS5181 I downloaded a song but even after the download is complete, it only plays one second of the song and then it ends.

I downloaded a song to from iTunes, but even after the download is complete it only plays one second of the song and then it ends. Any ideas?

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

The audiobook I downloaded will only play for 20 minutes then quits. Never had this happen before. How do I fix?

Downloaded an audiobook onto my iPod Touch and listened to the first 20 minutes of it. Then it just stopped playing. No matter how I tried to get back to where it left off, it would only begin from the start. I tried putting the same audiobook onto another device and it does the same thing. So, then I tried to listen to the story through iTunes on my desk top---- same thing. How can I fix this?

It sounds like the file you downloaded has been corrupted in some way, although you should check using Get Info > Options tab that it doesn't just have a truncated stop time. Use the report a problem link in your account history and explain the circumstances. Someone from the store should help you get the issue resolved with a fresh download.

Take it to Apple for evaluation.
FYI, this is the iTunes for Windows forum, the issue has nothing to do with iTunes.

All is set up ok but when I view a home movie the apple tv reverts to the menu at random times, sometimes every 30 secs or so, sometimes plays for mins before cutting out and then i have to enter menu, go to movies and select the movie then resume play bu

Whwn viewing home movies the movie cuts out back to the general menu at random, forcing me to enter menu again, reselect the movie and hit resume button.
this happens everytime I try to play a movie, maybe after 1 min of play then again after 3 mins, next time it might play for 6 mins then cut out and so on. The macbook pro is not reverting to sleep mode or closing down and the wifi signal is strong. So is the apple tv an expensive load of junk or what?

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.

Hi Stewart,
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't help & you can afford to redo any Mail Rules...
Trash these files...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/... MessageRules.plist and MessageRules.plist.backup
Then if need be with the backup, Import emlx to mbox, See if this helps...

Why does email hesitate for a minute or more and then come in normally?

When I click "get mail" it does not come right in. It will take sometimes up to 90 seconds before the first email comes in but then they will all come in at a normal speed. I have high speed cable internet and operate Windows XP with service pack 3. I have cleaned up all the RAM eating programs and done some house cleaning but the problems remains.

I always get worried when I hear of issues with clicking get mail.
When you start Thunderbird it gets mail, then it does it on a timed basis for all accounts. Then someone comes along and says if takes XX second for a get mail to initiate.
My first question is always, why are you clicking get mail? Other than the rare occasion your waiting for a password reset mail etc it servers almost no purpose. and then I tend to use web mail as it updates just a bit faster.
When you click get mail, Thunderbird must lookup the site in DNS, contact the site, offer up your credentials, log in, check the capability of the mail server, ask for your mail and wait for the server to respond at each point.
Lots of load on the server and you see delays in each response. Lots of time spent inspecting the mail as it arrives you see delays in delivery. Anti virus wants to lookup the credentials of the server in it's phishing and other databases, more delays. Got security software from your bank? it is probably fighting with other security software and slowing things down.
Boot you machine into safe mode as that disables most of the rubbish security stuff and try getting mail in that state. Then try starting Thunderbird with add-ons disabled from it's help menu (alt+H) while still in Windows safe mode and see if that is faster.
If safe mode alone is fast, look at the software you have installed. If Thunderbird add-ons disabled is faster you have an add-on that is the cause.
My observation is most DNS lookups are slow, most connection

After downloading about 100 songs, some are only playing for a minute then switching songs. Any suggestions? only playing 1 minute then switching songs.

After downloading songs, some aren't playing all the way through. Any suggestions? Thank-you

If they get cut off while playing in iTunes, you probably got a corrupted download. Fortunately, you can re-download any previous song purchase from the iTunes Store at any time, as many times as you need.
Try this with one of the songs with the problem, to make sure re-downloading fixes the problem.
Go to the main iTunes Store screen in iTunes. Over on the right, find and click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. On the Purchased screen, click on Music, and find the purchased song with the problem in the list below. To the right of the song name, it probably says "Downloaded." Since iTunes think you have already downloaded the song to you'll computer, you'll need to delete it first.
Select your main iTunes Music library in the sidebar, under LIBRARY. Find that song and select it. Hit the Delete key; confirm you want to delete it AND that you want to move the song file to the Trash.
Now, go back to the Purchased screen and find that song again. It should now have a button with a cloud symbol where is said "Downloaded" before. Click that button to download the song again. Hopefully, it will play completely. If that fixes the problem, you can do the same thing for the other songs with this problem.

HT201413 after downloading 2 albums ifind that most of the tunes only play for a short while and then switches to another tune does anyone know what the problem is and how to rectify it?

- uninstalling and doing a clean install
-installing Flash Player 11.7.700.257, 11.9.900.152, and 11.7.700.252 (currently have 11.9.900.170 installed, issue occured under each version)
-the memory storage is set to 10mb
-uninstalled and reinstalled mozilla firefox
I have windows 7 64-bit
thanks ahead of time.

One possibility is that your hard drive is failing. If you don't have backups of any data you don't want to lose, that needs to be your number one priority. Get that data backed up. Once you have done that, you can start exploring options.
Open Disk Utility, select your hard drive and take a look at the SMART status:
If it says anything other than Verified, the drive is definitely failing. If it says Verified, all that means is that it isn't failing in a way that the drive can detect.

Can't import songs and ones in library only play for 45 seconds

I'm in the process of moving my music collection to a new computer with a bigger hard drive. I installed the latest version of iTunes on the new computer, copied all the folders and contents of the itunes folder to the new computer in the same location.
I bought a couple new songs successfully but now I can't add any of the files from my previous computer to the new library. I was able to import a few songs that iI purchased when on my original machine but now they only play for 45 seconds and jump to the next song in the playlist (if check) And now when I drag and drop songs on the Library to import them absolutely nothing happens.
And yes, the new computer is authorized and the permissions on the folders are read / write.
Any one have an idea of how to fix this? If not, I just going to burn all my songs to CD and import them that way and say so long to iTunes... just too much BS to just move a music library!

Sounds like the PC's authroization file is messed up, or else the iTUnes preferences files.
Follow the directions in this article, the SC Info file holds the PC authroization for iTMS songs.
iTunes Does Not Open After Upgrading
And also deleted these 2 preferecnes files:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
They will all get rebuilt when you open iTunes the next time. It should ask for authorization one last time, is all.
