Purchased iTunes movies stop after 10 to 15 minutes.

Purchased iTune movies stop playing after 10 minutes and have to be restarted.

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.
The following article(s) may help you.

Purchased itunes movie stops midway through operating

I purchased a movie from the itunes store and when i play it, it will stop half way through the movie. It says its playing, not paused. I have tried to start it from different points but if i start it in the later half it forces me back to the middle and won't play any further. i have restarted and it still does not work. I bought the **** thing for $14 and can't watch it or return it. Any help?

I can transfer and see rented movies when I sync my iphone, but purchased movies don't give the option of transferring at all, even efter sync-ing multiple times. It is in the itunes library, and it's viewable through my computer, but right-clicking on the purchased movie or trying to drag and drop onto the iphone is futile =/. There doesn't appear to be anything in the user guide that mentions purchased movies specifically, but rented movies are mentioned multiple times. Do I have to assume that purchased movies are not transferrable to the iphone? If so, that would pretty much stink.

ITunes sharing stops after exactly 80 minutes

Here's a weird one. I'm sharing my Mac's iTunes library, and connecting to it from my Windows machine. It works fine for 80 minutes. After that, the share disappears. I have to quit and restart iTunes on the Mac for it to re-appear. It's always exactly 80 minutes.
The Mac is being used occasionally during this 80 minutes, so it's not a screen-saver or sleep problem.
The Internet connection is through a cable modem, with a Linksys BEFSR41 router. Both machines are connected to the router, and they are assigned static IP addresses. The Linksys's "Filter Multicast" option is turned on, since this seems to be required to make iTunes sharing work. All incoming network connections are configured to point to the Mac. The Mac has its firewall on, but it's set to allow iTunes Music Sharing.
The Mac is a PowerBook G4 running the latest version of OS 10.4. The PC is a Lenovo laptop running Windows XP SP2. They're both running the latest version of iTunes.
Any ideas?

When I play songs on my itunes account, they stop after about one minute and itunes goes to the next one. how do I fix this? These are songs in entire albums that I have purchased.

when I play songs on my itunes account, they stop after about one minute and itunes goes on to the next song. This is happening with songs on albums I have purchased direclty through itunes

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken files from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click on 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.

My husbands ipad2 keeps freezing on the screen, when he has entered the password what ever he working on stops after approx 2 minutes. It only started this morning and has been working perfectly prior to this. I purchased this 64gb 3G machine via eBay

My husbands ipad2 64gb 3G the screen keeps freezing. What ever you are working on stops after about 2 minutes the screen freezes and after another few moments you are required to put you password in again. It only started this morning and had been working perfectly until today. I purchased from eBay three weeks ago. If watching bbc new you can only watch for 2 minutes and same for video and games. Keeps coming back to screen saver where all icons are. Sometimes we are to use the on off button to get it going again. I set it up the same as my own iPad 32gb. Hope you can help? Thanks.

Spilled water without flavorings and especially without sugar is something from which your computer may recover. The best thing to do is to shut off as quickly as possible and remove the battery pack. Place the computer in a sunny window with the lid open to promote evaporation of the water. On top of a refrigerator is also a warm perch that'll promote drying. It is difficult to say exactly how long it takes to dry the computer; that depends on ambient temperature and humidity, and how how water is in there.
The biggest threat from the water is corrosion of metal parts, so drying quickly is a must. Also, water can form mineral salt deposits that can grow conductive dendrites between adjacent traces on printed circuit boards. The formation of dendrites is aggravated if you apply power before the machine is dried out. The worst damage would be if water managed to get in the breather hole of the hard drive - luckily, the way the drive is mounted, that would be fairly unlikely.

Fix for AppleTV photo slide show music stopping after abut 20 minutes?

Fix for AppleTV photo slide show music stopping after abut 20 minutes?

Just ran another series of tests ... I am now convinced that AppleTV's slideshow/screensaver is broken.
Too often it will 'get stuck' on one photo for minutes then show no photo and finally move on; in fact it is doing it right now.
I don't ever remember seeing this occur before the last upgrade.

Audio stops after about 5 minutes

After rendering/encoding, the sound on my finished DVD stops after approximately 5 minutes. It is fine on iMovie, and also is there in iDVD when using preview.
In contrast to other posts in this forum, there are no slide shows on my DVD, and all sound comes from the camcorder together with the video.
I am using "Create Disc Image", and I have tried both playing back with DVD player from that very disc image, and actually burning it on a DVD and playing it back from there.
I have also thrown out the whole iDVD project and started from scratch by creating a new project from iMovie.
Since my DVD is just about 60 min, I have also tried both "quality" and "performance" encoding - same result.
The audio stops in the middle of a 4-min clip as defined in iMovie.
I am using iDVD 5.0.1.
This process (importing from camcorder, editing in iMovie, building menus etc. in iDVD, creating disc image, burning) is something I have done for several DVDs previously without problems (but maybe with iDVD 5.0)

Thanks for your help! You helped solve the issue, albeit indirectly...
At this point, I want to share my experience, in the hope that it might be helpful to others:
After finding that chapter markers had nothing to do with the problem, I found that indeed my camcorder was set to the dreaded 12 bit. Oh dear! The original DV tape is long gone. (At first I did not expect this to be a problem, since I had made several DVDs successfully with the existing settings, but then there are all these horror stories in discussions about what 12 bit can do to you.)
So to rescue my movie, I found advice to "share" my iMovie back to a fresh DV tape, and then re-import it with the 16 bit setting.
This lead to the next issue: After a number of minutes of re-exporting to DV tape, the video received by the camcorder would freeze, while the audio continued. This happened at several different points in several differerent attempts.
So next I visited iMovie discussions, where I found advice to clean up my Mac. I used Mac Sweeper, and now indeed my Mac runs faster and smoother for many apps. I also downgraded my QuickTime version. But another attempt of exporting from iMovie to DV tape also failed, but now it failed at exactly the same point where the audio stopped in my DVD!!! (Even though on the export-to-DV-tape it was not the audio but the video that froze.)
Next I found that when playing that problematic scene in iMovie, the iMovie program would also freeze at that very point, making it necessary to "force quit" out.
In the end the solution was to chop out the problematic bit in that scene. Now everything works fine, including the iDVD step.

Audio streaming stops after about 13 minutes.

Audio streaming over the Internet just stops after about 13 minutes and has to be restarted. I need a solution

TS3700 After synched with PC, verified song played perfectly at PC. Once played IPOD NANO by itself, song stopped after about one minute. Happens to every song. Why?

After synched with PC with all songs transferred via iTunes, I verified all songs played perfectly at the PC. Once played IPOD NANO (6th generation) by itself, the song stopped after about one minute. This happens to every song. Why? I checked the IPOD NANO setting, but do not see anything need to be changed.

How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies on to my thumb drive and WD My Passport external hard drive. My Mac keeps saying "can't be copy because it is too large for the volumes format

How can I put my recently purchased iTunes movies onto my thumb drive and WD my passport external hard drive.My Mac is saying that can't be copied because it is too large for volumes format

[file] is too large for the volumes format
That is usually an indication that the Volume was never Erased or Partitioned for GUID partition table and Mac OS, and is still in a Windows format.
Mac OS X Extended (journaled) has no such file-size limitations

Delete Purchased iTunes Movies and TV programs

I have purchased itunes movies and TV programs that I want to delete from itunes permanently. They were deleted until I purchased Apple TV.

Hello filburt,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. The 2nd and 3rd generations of Apple TV do not have traditional storage. What you are seeing is the purchase history and it will stream from iTunes when you want to watch. It isn’t taking up space on your Apple TV

When using my new nano 7 with nike , my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run for over 30 minutes.It cancels/deletes my run/workout when the music stops.This has happened several times.How can I keep this from happening

When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes. It also cancels/deletes that run/workout. This has happened several times. How can I keep this from happening?

If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

Is it safe to just store my purchased iTunes movies in the iTunes cloud rather than filling up my Macbook Pros hard drive?

Is it safe to just store my purchased Itunes movies in the Itunes cloud rather than filling up the Macbook Pro's hard drive with HD content?

Not safe, no. The movie's owner can remove a movie at any time, which does happen from time to time, making it impossible to re-download later. You should always keep a backup copy of any app or content that you care about.
