Podcast stops every few minutes

Ever since the podcast app updated last night, my podcasts just stop every few minutes. I tried restarting the phone and playing different podcasts, but it doesn't help. Any suggestions?

I installed Podcasts 2.1.1 one more time on my phone.
On my iPhone I went into Settings > Podcasts.
I turned on Sync Podcasts (actually left it on).
Set Refresh Every to Manually
Limit Episodes to Off
Download Episodes to Off
Delete Played Episodes to Off
Use Cellular data to Off
Everything is working as it is supposed to, and as an added bonus, the "Cellular data is truned off" warning seems to have disappeared.
It shouldn't be this difficult, but at least Apple seems to have produced an update that functions.

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.

Why would my rental of 'midnight in Paris' stop every few minutes?

Downloaded 'midnight in Paris' last night. It took over 3 hours to watch a 93 minute movire. I thought the film had downloaded when it began to play, but it kept stopping every few minutes.

I think the other devices are fine. I'm not sure. It usually only happens like a couple days out of the week. I do know that the network I'm using when I click on the wifi symbol at the top of my screen doesn't have a padlock on it. It IS MY network that is at my house, but maybe that has something to do with it.

My podcasts stop every two minutes - how can I fix?

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone may be able to suggest how I can fix this annoying problem:
When I listen to podcasts on my iPod nano, they stop every two minutes. I have to then press wake button and then the play button. Then it stops again after about two minutes as if it had gone to sleep. So I repeat the above steps ad infinitum. Only had it a few days and don't think this is normal or know how to fix or if should take it in for a serviceperson to look at. Can anyone with similar experience or any advice please respond. Thanks Ben.

The most likely problem is that the headset jack is not fully inserted. With the 1.1 update,there is a feature that senses when a headset is inserted. If there is not one, it pauses playback when the screen goes dark to preserve battery life.
Many folks have had an issue with not fully inserting the headset. When the headset is fully seated, you will hear and feel it click into position. You should not be able to see ANY of the silver of the plug when the headset jack is fully inserted, if you can, it is not in far enough. If you have have pushed it in as far as you can - as hard as you can, then there may be debris in there. Any debris could cause this, since the sensor that tells the nano that the headset is seated is at the bottom of the hole for the headset jack

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.

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.

My ipad 3 Bluetooth stops working for several seconds every few minutes

My ipad Bluetooth stops working for a few seconds every few minutes...very annoying. Any solutions?

firefox has become a somewhat of a pig. it is actually funny and i know this problem will soon be cured but.... here was this "anti-IE" thing that came out a while ago saying "we're the fastest browser in the world" and indeed they were. as a 13 year microsoft employee/veteran i was reluctant to try it, but try it i did. that was years ago. now all of a sudden here i am and for the past several months at least, firefox has been pausing every few seconds or so. it is totally annoying and has me researching the cause. i'm a techie/quite computer literate and know how to tweak and configure to get every last ounce of speed out of my system. let me tell you... firefox is no longer the fastest browser on the planet.... they have issues. why? they have a lot of code and maintaining a complex piece of software (they are finding) is not easy. BUT, the problem lies within firefox's code base... i've used the latest version of IE, safari and chrome and neither is suffering from the pausing problem.
how can you repro this problem? go to any webform (gmail, this forum, et al) and start typing... there will be an annoying pause every few seconds. while pausing, firefox pages out to disk, despite there being TONS of physical memory available... AND i have set my system to NO pagefile, yet firefox is paging...
or, go to a long webpage (e.g. ebay and set the search results to 200. then just use your cursor to scroll down the page) and you'll see the same problem.
hurry firefox... fix this annoying problem. i've been a happy and loyal FF user for at least 5 years

Podcast playback freezes/pauses every few minutes

When I watch video podcasts on my computer, every few minutes, playback freezes for about 5 seconds before continuing. During the 'freeze', time is still moving, so I also miss some of the video content.
I can watch the same videos perfectly fine if I play the files directly in another video player.
I just installed the latest itunes version.
Thanks.

Thanks for that suggestion Sasha, though this is the first time I have ever had that type of jerky playback, so I am hoping it won't occur again for a very long time.
I actually deleted the QT video thinking it was defective until I went back and watched the video in the Canvas plus several other old QT videos which all behaved the same way!
The avatar is to reflect that I am now using Shake . . . . . well, at least floundering on the first chapter of the APTS book . . . . so it may well be changed again in the near future!

How to stop my ipad shutting down and rebooting every few minutes

Try Recovery Mode per the instructions here. If that doesn't help, you may well have a hardware problem. Sorry.

How do I stop the update banner from annoying me every few minutes?

How do I stop the Updates Available banner from annoying me every few minutes? I have tried to deselect the "Automatically check for updates" box in System Preferences==>Software Update, but it doesn't help.

I prefer to manually check for updates when convenient and install only those that I wish to install at a time of my choosing. Surely Apple wouldn't be so heavy-handed as to make this impossible?

IOS 6.1.1 wifi gets dissconnected every few minutes

I updated my 4s yesterday with the new IOS and now, my wifi is getting dissconnected every few minutes. The most frustrating thing is that I have to enter the password of my home wifi everytime it gets dissconnected.

Yes I'm having the same issue since the latest iOS update. My wifi reception has dropped substantially - 2 or even 1 "bars" in places in the home where it was full reception. It drops out repeatedly, stopping podcast downloads.
I have both a router and a range extender and the problem exists with both of them. It also exists if I try to connect to public wifi - completely unusable...
But also, I use bluetooth headphone a lot, and the reception for them has plummeted to the point where continually drop out even when the phone is in my shirt pocket - i.e. just 30cm from the headphones. Before the update, the reception was halfway through the house!.
I know it wasn't the headphones causing this because I thought so and took them back for exchange under warranty, and the new ones are exactly the same.
So both wireless reception and bluetooth transmission strength have gone down the toilet following this iOS update.
Is Apple doing anything about this? It seems the communities are full of similar complaints...

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

Losing wireless every few minutes

My macbook pro is losing its internet connection every few minutes (wireless on at&t 2wire router). I have to stop and restart airport to regain connection.
Other macs on the same router work fine. On this one, istumbler will not launch. It worked once then get unexpected error crash after that. Is that a clue?

iStumbler depends on a stable wireless connection to be able to display any data. If you can't establish a good wireless connection, iStumber cannot run.
Any cordless phones in the vicinity of the MacBook? Any other electronic devices like televisions or amplifiers near the MacBook? Any metal obects like a cabinet or bookshelf near the MacBook?
