Rented Movies pause and skip during playback......................

I am running iTunes 9.2. The last three movies I have rented pause and then skip ahead 6 seconds during playback. Its like with compujter cannot keep up. It happens at ramdom times but happens often, sometimes two or three times a minute. All movies were completly downloaded before playback. Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem with purchased video content.
I am NOT a happy camper right now. I was really looking forward to purchasing a season pass for one of my favorite programs, but not until this is resolved
I also can't figure out how to play the itunes purchased videos directly in Quicktime. It used to be possible in preferences, but it looks like that feature is missing from this current version.

Random Pauses and Skips in Playback

Apparently others are having a similar problem. I get random skips or pauses in songs on playback in the iPod; mostly, these pauses are minute hesitations that will grow more noticeable over time to the point of even skipping songs or just stop playing in the middle of one. This anomaly occurred in a 3G 40GB and my current color 60GB. Music totals about 28 GBs of mostly ripped Apple Lossless, 192 ACC, just a few mp3s and some purchased tunes. I do not believe this is a headphone issue, as it will "skip" regardless of headphones or cable connected even when the iPod is completely stationary. Playback of the same music, even streaming over Airtunes, reveals no skips in the "original" music in iTunes to which the iPod is connected and synced.
Restoring the iPod only lessens the severity of the pauses (and believe me this has been done many times). I have also deleted iTunes libraries, xml files and preferences, but none of this seems to make any difference. Both the iPod and iTunes source drives have gone through the disk maintenance of DiskWarrior, repair permissions (source drive) and so forth.
Occasionally, after Restoring and on the initial sync of the iPod, I get the error message "Cannot read from or write to this disk". The 60GB iPod is less than a month old and I shows no disk problems; the same problem occurred with the 40GB iPod. Occurs with both the USB2 and FW ports.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I can't get the movie to play right, it keeps pausing and skipping

I bought a movie on itunes a when i try to watch it keeps pausing and skipping. how do i fix this, so i can watch it

Check in iTunes - got to the store home page with the small house icon.
On the right side of teh screen under QuickLinks is there a Purchased section?
If so check if this had Movies/Films when you click it, if so hopefully purchases will show up. If you uncheck the box for HD downloads you may then be able to get the SD version.
Also in iTunes Preferences for the Store you can select preferred HD resolution of 720p or 1080p for downloading.
If you don't have a section for previous purchases contact iTunes support and tell them the issue.

I purchased and successfully downloaded Caravan Palace - Caravan Palace and Panic. Both albums skip and cutout during playback. Q: what's happening and why?

I purchased and successfully downloaded Caravan Palace - Caravan Palace and Panic. Both albums skip and cutout during playback. Q: what's happening and why?

Sounds like a corrupt download.
From iPad:
Delete the albums: swipe you finger across and tap delete
Make sure you have a good internet connection & re-download: Open iTunes app > More > Purchased
From computer:
Delete the albums: Select > right-click > delete
Go to iTunes Store > Purchased (in Quick Links on the right)

Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

Why does my 16gb 6th generation ipod nano skip and stutter during playback?

Try a hard reset first.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button
until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds,
and then the Home screen.
If that doesn't work, try a restore of the device in iTunes.
Otherwise, does this skipping and stuttering only happen with certain tracks? What format are these tracks in and where they come from (outside of iTunes or from the iTunes store itself)?

Premiere Pro CC(V.8.0) sluggish and crashes during Playback

Issue:
Premiere Pro CC(V.8.0) extremely sluggish and crashes during Playback. My video won't play at all unless I render (which is no problem). I render all my clips and attempt to play it back. It usually will allow me to watch it the first time around. After that, the program freezes up or becomes extremely sluggish. I have even had a blank green screen pop up on my playback monitor. Sometimes the program will generate the message "A Serious Error has occurred" and will shut down. Other times, the program just locks up. I am not running any other programs except email.
Here is what I've tried:
Cleared all my cache files
Set my Mercury Playback set to "Software only"
Restarted the program and computer after doing the above.
Made sure I had no RGB Curves as an effect (as I did see that was an issue from other threads)
Deleted all unused footage
Deleted all render files and re-rendered everything.
I am editing footage that requires Ultra Key. I am using a Three-Way Color Corrector. My video isn't even 1 minute long, so I would think it would be easy to render and playback.
Here is what I am working on (I know I need an upgrade - was hoping to after I finished this client's project):
Macbook Pro 2008
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB
Software OS X 10.9.3
HELP! This is seriously slowing my workflow and my project is due tomorrow. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am Windows but I have some saved Mac links that may help

HT4367 Whenever I try to rent a movie, Apple TV buffers and does not come back. I am able to see other programs, but not able to rent movies. And the movie charge still goes on my bill.

Apple TV uses iTunes. The reason you can't rent through your ATV is because you can't rent movies through iTunes Canada. Sadly, as this is a user-to-user forum, no one here would know when or if rentals will come to Canada.

Using a bluetooth headphone, how can I play/pause and skip tracks on apps like Spotify?

I have just bought the Sennheiser MM 550-x bluetooth headphone. I am not able to use the headphone's bluetooth buttons to play/pause and skip tracks in Spotify and other non-Apple apps in Lion. The bluetooth controls (avrcp) work in iTunes and QuickTime player, though. The same issue applies to the Apple headsets with inline remote controls. Is there a workaround for this, like third party remote apps that responds to bluetooth commands or let you remap incoming bluetooth commands?

I'm having the same issue with my Philips, I have tested on ML and Maverick and still happening, the controls just work with iTunes and I always use spotify... Any solution for that!?!!?!?

HT1725 Everytime I plug my phone into to sync, Itunes starts downloading the same rented movie over and over. I go in and delte it from my library but it does it again. How can I stop this from happening?

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

IMovie Project seems to skip and pause very briefly during playback

I am creating a video montage in iMovie '09, though when viewing the project during playback the video does not play smoothly and seems to skip and pause very briefly while continuing to play. Each clip separately played smoothly prior to its addition into my iMovie project.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What kind of clips are these?
Specifically, if you right-click on a clip in the Event Browser and select "Reveal in Finder", then right-click on the clip in the Finder and select "Open with...QuickTime Player, and then hit Command-I in QuickTime Player to open the Inspector Window, what codecs are mentioned next to the word "Format:"?

IDVD slideshow DVD pauses video and audio during playback...messages about sleeping DVD player

I have just burned a slideshow on iDVD from iPhoto book project. During playback, the DVD player pauses with photo visible and audio stops for same time, and then resumes after about 5 seconds. I thought the MP3 (purchased from Amazon because it was not in iTunes) format may have been the issue, so, I converted to AAC, and rebuilt slideshow from scratch using AAC music. During Preview playback, the problem does NOT exhibit...only when played from produced DVD on both computer or DVD player. I only have this one pause at same time on every DVD burned. Is AIFF a probable solution? I saw a message saying DVD player "Sleeping" or "DVD player waked from sleeping" at beginning and end of this pause.

Whoa!!! I'd back up here and make sure you have your "T" s crossed before your continue with 10,000 discs! What were your bitrates for the main track and Bonus features? Did you use AC3 audio? DVD has a bitrate ceilings of 9.8 for video. Its also important you check your bitrates in a viewer to makes sure your OK.
Bitrates are the most crucial part to control in DVD.

Skipping during playback and skipping render

When i try to add multiple videos or a song to my motion project...sometimes the audio skips or wont play at all...and sometimes just playback with certain images causes "real time" to slow down. So i'll hit command r and it will render but sometimes it will skip a section? ANy know why its doing this and how to fix it?

Maybe, like Maynard, it don't like to work...
Seriously - it can also only render to the amount of RAM you have available...

Rented movie freezes part way through playback

I have recently purchased an Apple TV and have watched 1 full movie on it. Recently I have rented two other movies, the first at approximately 1m 40s and the second at around 24m of playback froze the playback and would not play any further in the movie.
The first movie I complained to Apple about and they have credited me and advised that there was an issue with the movie "not downloading properly" the second has just occurred so I haven't had a chance to complain about this.
Has anyone else had this issue occur for them?

are you guys watching TV late at night. I've noticed that the shows stop working at around 11 to 11.30 pm pacific time. I suppose that iTunes updates their catalogue to include the latest shows that are new and cleared for sale after the night's TV schedule. I think it's poor iTunes judgement to do that. Most people watch TV at night. They should update their catalogue some time in the morning hours.
I usually just unplug my apple TV, restart and then wait for a while to make it work.
If you guys get stuck because you put the show on pause then the remedy is to turn the screen saver off. Switch it to never because then when you pause and iTunes server goes out you don't have to re-authorize the show to continue watching it. That's if you purchased and the show was sownloaded to your apple TV

Imovie HD skipping during playback/preview

HELP! I'm editing a 32 GB movie in iMovie HD, During simple Playbacks / previews the movie is skipping and becomes impossible to view, (unless I scroll the timeline)
I'm working w/ a brand new G4 ibook w/ 512 and 60GB HD totally dedicated to this project.(this problem has beome progressively worse as the file gets bigger) Is it HD space I'm lacking or Power or memory? I'm prepared to turn in my laptop for a desktop just to finish this movie, will the imac 1.9 G5 w/ 160 HD solve my problem?

Hi Anna - welcome to the forum!
1. The HD may be 60 GB, but how much AVAILABLE space do you have?
2. For the size of your project, 512mb RAM is probably minimum - I think you should increase that to at least 750.
3. The iBook is OK for iMovie projects generally (I sometimes use one also), but your project is extremely large - much larger than would be considered usual.
4. I also use a large capacity external HD and that may be an option for you - maybe 200GB (formatted for Mac - (Mac OS Extended).
4. Remember that if you intend making a DVD, that iDVD has a maximum size of 120 minutes, and yours is well over that.
Obviously a more powerful computer is better, but I would try adding RAM to your iBook before spending mega-dollars. Even on my desktop computer, a project as long as yours would begin to display similar problems to the one you are experiencing.
Does this help?
