Recordings not playing correctly when watching online

It stops the playback at 45 minutes. I am still having the issue. 3 recordings tonight all at the same time and all 3 started 5-6 minutes in when watching online. All 3 play fine in my house. Kenal0

I have 2 x1 dvrs and a total of 6 terminals. All play nicely at home, recordings all showing up and I do not have any problems in my home. When I go to watch a recording from outside my home, the recordings are starting 15 minutes into the program. They are skipping the first 15 minutes. The counter at the bottom shows 0-60 but 0 is where the program is already started in other words you cannot rewind to the beginning. The recordings all play fine in my home on any of the boxes.Any ideas? Kenal0

Have adobe flash 11.9.900 but can't watch online movies.

Since a windows update a couple of days ago I can't watch online movies. I have 64 bit windows 8 and adobe flash 11.9.900. The screen says I have to install adobe flash 10.0 or higher in order to stream a film. I have checked and I have the most recent player.
I have also done every step on the adobe flash troubleshooting page including managing add-ons, disabling active-x, removing cache etc...no change.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, fed up with windows 8 problems.

Chris,
Just followed the link and I have been on that page before and have seen the animation but this time I couldn't see it. Went to check if activex filtering was on and it was, even though I'd set it as off. It's like the computer keeps changing what's on and off at will.
On youtube, the message install adobe flash 10.0 etc comes up. On any flash games (just clicked on random site to see if it would work) it says I need to install flash. On project free tv again says install flash.
Using ie10.
Thanks for getting back to me.

How to prevent the regular password prompts when watching a movie on my MacBook Air?

Hello everyone.
I recently started renting movies from the iTunes store and watched them on my MacBook Air since I don't have an appleTV. (In fact on my TV connected via HDMI cable to the MacBook but I think that doesn't change the cause)
Now every now and then a automatic password prompt kicks in overlaying the movie, so I have to stand up each time and type in the administrator password in the middle of the movie. This happens maybe about every 30-45 mins. Needless to say this is extremely unpleasant when watching a movie. Unfortunately I cannot tell you which programm causes the prompt since I always close all other programms other than iTunes.
Is there a way to temporarily prevent all automatic password prompts?
I hope you can help me,
Greetings jonezdotcom

This is taken from Mac Help. It should guide you in solving your issue.
Changing the way users log in
You can require users to enter a password to log in to your computer, or you can turn on automatic login, which automatically logs in a specified user each time the computer starts up.
Automatic login is useful if you’re the only person who uses your computer, and the computer is always in a safe and secure place. If you have more than one user account on your computer, or if you’re concerned about the security of information on your computer, you should require users to log in with a password. Automatic login is not available for accounts that are using FileVault encryption.
If you require users to log in, you can change what they see in the login window. You can show a list of users with a picture next to each name and a place to enter the password, or require users to enter both their user name and password.
To change the way users log in:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts.
Open Accounts preferences
Click the lock icon to unlock it, and then type an administrator name and password.
Click Login Options.
Do one of the following:
To require users to log in whenever the computer starts up, choose Off from the “Automatic login” pop-up menu.
To have the computer automatically log in to a particular account when the computer starts up, choose the account from the “Automatic login” pop-up menu, enter an administrator password, and click OK.
IMPORTANT: Automatic login allows anyone to get immediate access to your computer simply by restarting it. If you turn on automatic login, make sure the computer doesn’t automatically log in to an account with administrator privileges.
Next to the ”Display login window as,” select how you want the login window to appear:
To have users select an account from a list in the login window, select “List of users.”
To require users to type their user account name and password, select “Name and password.”
To show each user’s password hint, select the “Show password hints” checkbox.
If you turn on automatic login for yourself, the computer opens your account when it starts up. If you log out, other users see a login window to log in to their user accounts.
The Login Options pane of Accounts preferences
Use the Login Options pane of Accounts preferences to change the way the login window behaves to be more secure or set up the way users will log in to their accounts
PREFERENCE EXPLANATION
Automatic login
To have the computer automatically log in to an account at startup, choose the account from the pop-up menu. This is less secure than requiring users to log in, since it allows anyone to use the computer just by turning it on.
To require users to select an account and enter a password to log in, choose Off from the pop-up menu.
Automatic login is not available for accounts that are using FileVault encryption.
Display login window as
Select “List of users” to have users choose their accounts from a list in the login window.
Select “Name and password” to require users to type their name and password in the login window.

How do I get more volume when watching a movie and can I use headphones?

How do I get more volume when watching a movie? And can I also use headphones?

Many governments now limit how loud headphones can go. Europe has been plagued with this for many years. Separate amplifiers are available.
I believe volumes should be kept at reasonable levels to avoid hearing loss, but it's not the governments job to protect me.
I prefer Beyerdynamic over Bose Headphones. (They spend a lot less money on advertising.)

Yes, you can watch movies on your HD TV using the Digital AV Adapter and, of course, an HDMI cable.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check that no special effect or enhancement feature has been turned on on the TV itself.

I just started have this same/simmilar issue to. Was there a solution to the original question? I have 2 ATVs. One works without issue, the other... kicks me out repeatedly... to the point where the content will load for about 3 sec before kicking me all the way out. Tried all the trouble shooting options including: checking latest software update, reset, hard restart, and checking router download speed (over 50 Mbps on speedtest.net). Should mention this occurs most frequently when downloading Netflix content, but the same issue occurs downloading other content like PBS.

TS2972 WHY IS MY HOME SHARING SHUT DOWN AFTER 5 MIN WHEN WATCHING A MOVIE. I DOWNLOADED LATEST VERSION FROM THE APPLE SITE. STILL DOES NOT WORK.

home sharing shuts down after 5 min when watching a movie. any solutions. already downloaded itunes from apple. did not work.

Make sure your computer is not set to fall asleep. Also check www.istumbler.net (netstumbler for windows) for interference on the network

TS2972 I have ATV2 and the correct version of ITunes yet when watching a movie from ITunes, ATV2 will drop it mid way through and then will claim home sharing is not activated in ITunes. Can anyone offer advice please?

yepp, I have done numerous tests today, skipped router and hard wired betwenn PC and appletv3. same problem.
same network, but from my laptop, works like a charm.. so its not reproducable on all machines.
this seems to be a itunes/bonjour problem, not ATV3 problem.

Hello Boris73
Try deleting the tracks from your iTunes library and then downloading them again to test the playback. If it continues, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.
