Since last update renting movies on Apple TV painfully slow

We have been using Apple TV (2nd Gen) for 3 years, and since the last update, instead of nearly instantly starting movie rentals, it take 6-8 hours.
NOTHING ELSE HAS CHANGED !!!!!
Internet speed- Same
WIFI - Same
Only the update has changed.

I often wonder if Apple actually tests anything outside the office. The last update killed Apple TV --- all I get is loading ...loading ....loading when trying to access iTunes Store to rent movies. Thankfully same movies are for rent on cable so I spent my money there. Well done Apple-- way to break what was working fine. I miss Steve Jobs. I'll check back in a few months to see if Apple TV is fixed.

trying to rent movie from Apple TV. Message states a valid address is necessary to purchase. We have purchased about 15 show in the last month along. Any suggestion on how to update valid email address.

I got the same error and can't get it to work. My email and home address have not changed in the 3 years I've been using this device, my credit card info is up to date and my most recent rental was 2 days ago yet I get the error message on both the Apple TV and in iTunes. I don't understand what the issue is, nothing is invalid.

Since last update on Mavericks, the picture attachement to a movie in iTunes no longer works. Any idea ?

Since last update on Mavericks, the picture attachement to a movie in iTunes no longer works. Any idea ?
Picture added is not displayed in the finder ; when transfering the movie to an Ipad, it is not displayed either.
iMac 27', Mavericks 10.9 + iTunes 11.1.2

Working here just fine. Try reinstalling:
Reinstalling Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

IMAC mirroring is not working with my IMAC and Apple TV since last update

Hi friends,
since last update I am facing problems with my IMAC and airplay via apple tv to my HD TV screen. It is not working. Only audio but not video. I believe it has something to do with IMAC mirroring, which is not possible to select only expanded desktop. Airply on my TV is working with my IPAD, so it should be a problem with my IMAC only.
Did someone of You make the same experience or know what to do?
Thanx in advance

Hello, H1Daisensei.

Streaming desktop mac to apple tv via Airplay-Monitor is currently very bad connection since last updates

Hello
I have this simple Problem. I can't watch any Movies or listen any Music by streaming my Desktop to the Apple TV Box (via AirPlay-Monitor) anymore since latest updates (Mac book and Apple TV Box). I also updated my fritbox 3390 but is not working
Streaming my Desktop to Apple TV Box was working very good before.
Does anyone know what this problem is?
Thank you in advance

Hello mirko,
If you are still experiencing streaming issues to your Apple TV from your MacBook, I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
iTunes: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
Wi-Fi Connection
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your AirPlay-enabled device.
Ensure that other devices aren't trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
Ethernet Connection
Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

The blue circles in movies are not on my i pad since last update can i put them back ?, The blue circles in movies are not on my i pad since last update can i put them back ?

The blue circles next to the mivies do not apear anymore since last update , can i put them back to see wich movies un-watched.

That happened because you synce'd your phone to a new computer, the phone can only be synce'd with one library. You can get all your songs back if they were puchased in itunes. Go to purchased in itunes store and download is at the bottom of the page.

Address Book repetitive crashes since last updates ?

Hello,
I do apologize for the length of this post but I don't know how to shorten it without removing some details useful to understand the problem encountered.
My sister has got an intel iMac with Tiger 10.4.10 and since last updates (10.4.9 and/or 10.4.10) she cannot use AB more than some seconds. It crashes consistently everytime it is open, even if no other action is done. There are also problems with iChat, iCal, Safari and Mail (but less than with AB).
When I visited her recently, I had a look to the console (even though I'm far from being an expert myself but I tried to find a track before asking here).
I noticed that for both crashes (Safari and AB), there was this mention :
quote
+CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): plist parse failed; the data is not proper UTF-8. The file name for this data could be:+
+ /Users/nnnnn/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/MetaData/.info+
+ The parser will retry as in 10.2, but the problem should be corrected in the plist.+
+Error in createMutableDictionaryValue:1012 for property 'URLs' 'XML parser error:+
+ Unexpected character = at line 1+
+Old-style plist parser error:+
+ Unexpected character '0x3d' at line 1+
+Aug 23 19:03:07 Ordinateur-2-nnnnn crashdump[465]: Exited process crashed+
+Aug 23 19:03:07 Ordinateur-2-nnnnn crashdump[465]: crash report written to: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Exited process.crash.log+
unquote
because of the "+not proper UTF8+" I tried to change it in AB preferences/vCard/encodage in "+proper UTF8+" and because of "+Old-style plist parser: error Unexpected character+" I tried to check and validate fonts of Fontbook. Unsuccessfully.
Back home, I searched on the web and read somewhere that there could be a problem with the "catalog" that could only be repaired by DiskUtility from the install disk. That was done today but the "*hard disk seems to be OK*" and AB crashed as usual when open.
there were two crash reports, one for AB and one for ABsync (? curious since she has no .mac account and does not sync her mobile phone).
The AB crashlog(1) finishes so :
quote
+Thread 3 Crashed:+
+0 <<00000000>> 0xffff0b54 __memcpy + 948 (cpu_capabilities.h:228)+
+1 ...apple.AddressBook.framework 0x9478a9f7 c4_Column::FetchBytes(long, int, c4_Bytes+
unquote
and the ABSync crashlog(2) :
quote
+Thread 0 Crashed:+
+0 <<00000000>> 0xffff0af6 __memcpy + 854 (cpu_capabilities.h:228)+
+1 ...apple.AddressBook.framework 0x9478a9f7 c4_Column::FetchBytes(long, int, c4_Bytes+
unquote
and finally when I asked her for a screenshot of her ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, I was surprised (comparing with my folder) to find she has three ABPerson.skIndexInverted files (I have only one) the second file is ABPerson.skIndexInverted.218 and the third ABPerson.skIndexInverted.286.
I suppose two are toomuch but which ones have to be delete ...
Sorry for this (too) long post and hope the light will come from some reader better educated in hard and softwares than us.
(1) (2) I have a longer version of these crashlogs but this post is already very long and I'll post them only on request (if needed)!

Hello Josy.
After fixing the filesystem issues, which you say you’ve already done, try re-creating the Address Book files that may have become corrupt, one at a time, as follows — or restore them from a backup if you have one:
1. Quit Address Book, Mail, and any other applications that might use Address Book for something. Or just quit all applications to be on the safe side.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/. Make a backup copy of this folder, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your contacts are stored.
3. Go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Move com.apple.AddressBook.plist and com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist (if it exists) out of there (e.g. to the Desktop). Check whether the problem is fixed.
4. If Address Book keeps crashing, go to ~/Library/Caches/ and move the Address Book and com.apple.AddressBook folders to the Trash (there is no need to empty the Trash yet). Check whether the problem is fixed.
5. If Address Book keeps crashing, go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ and trash any ABPerson.skIndex files you may see there. Check whether the problem is fixed.
6. If Address Book keeps crashing, try again trashing both AddressBook.data and any ABPerson.skIndex files that may have been re-created, then rename AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data.
7. If Address Book keeps crashing, try moving the entire AddressBook folder out of ~/Library/Application Support/.
The above procedure may introduce synchronization issues if you use .Mac or iSync to synchronize your Address Book with other computers or devices, so be sure to back up your Address Book data now if the problem is fixed.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Rotten Tomatoes reviews missing from UK ATV2 since last update

Hi,
Since last update to 4.2, the movie/critic reviews have 'disappeared' from rental movies, leaving only user reviews that are less than helpful.
Is this just me or have others noticed the same thing?
Thanks.

probably related to rotten tomatoes being a US review service, or apple only having a licensing agreement for the US.
also note that there is no 4.2 update for the appletv.
the current version is 4.1.1, and the previous version was 4.1.

Since last update (today) I get invalid password when trying to use back to my MAC, password works everywhere else

since last update (today) I get invalid Apple ID password when trying to use back to my MAC in Icloud app on my MAC, password works on all my other devices. GLITCH ?

Try going to the Apple ID page on your web browser
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
and try to either retrieve or reset your password
(obviously you had to be able to successfully log in to be able to post here)
I was finally able to log in through my system preferences after about three or four hours. I ran a disk utility to repair permissions and restarted and it seemed to work ok.

It came to my attention there a new program working with itune since last update named Apsdaemon.exe its been using 99% of my processor when its active any idea why so much and will it be fix eventually? And why is it so Heavy consuming ?

It came to my attention there a new program working with itune since last update named Apsdaemon.exe its been using 99% of my processus when its active.
Any idea why so much and will it be fix eventually because before last update i never encounter any issue using Itune? Now when that aplication or extention from Itune is working my computor froze to a huge alt. I play video games online and love listening to my music with itune playing in the background and normally was able to have firefox open and a program called ventrillo all working at the same time and now i can barelly have itune and play a game. As soon it start been choppy i just control alt delete wait 5 minute to close down apsdaemon.exe when i'm capable most of the time i have to restart my computor. And why is it so Heavy consuming on the process its memory utility is under the 100ko i believe so why 99% of my processus is been use ?
a good exemple i could give is itune.exe working it shows process 02% for 123 000ko that is light and perfect.

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

Safari and touch screen slower since last update! :(

Safari is slower and freezes since last update. Also any touch access is not reonsive.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try Safari.

Problems while roaming since last update of an iPhone 5

Since last update the phone loses signal intermittently while a regular phone in the same network/account has a steady, strong signal. I've reset network settings and since it didn't work I did a hard reset, erasing and restoring the phone. The problem persists

Hey Manuel Flores-Arce,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the iPhone is having a service issue while roaming. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Since last update of Pages, my Pages app in iPad anda iPhone doesn't open, it closes suddenly. I already deleted it and reinstalled, but still not works.

Since last update of Pages, my Pages app in iPad anda iPhone doesn't open, it closes suddenly. I already deleted it and reinstalled, but still not works.
Can someone help? Do I need to wait for another update?
Thanks

This is my problem that has to originate from the update. So glad that I did not purchase a MacBook! Apple products/apps are appearing to be not different from Windows products.
I have deleted and reinstalled from the device and desktop, resets, etc. When I uninstalled and reinstalled while connected to my desktop, the older version of pages was installed. I was able to see all of my files that were saved to the cloud. I was forced to update again to access any of the saved files. Once updated again, I could no longer open pages. It began, to open and abruptly shut down.

Since last update 25/03/12, bank transactions difficulty

I bank on line with no problems in the pat. Since last update on my iMac 25/03/12, I have been unable to carry out transfer transactions between my accounts. With the following System Error notice: " Missin Plan ID in Transfer Details Construct" Pleaseclick BACK then use the browser refresh button to continue. Which did notwork. Bank rep tells me it is probably as a result of the up dates and I should contact Safari or use internet explorer instead. They say they do not support Safari! Can any one advise please what I should do?

Sorry I meant last update performed on 15/03/12!
I am running MAC OS X Version 10.6.8 and Safari Version 5.1.4 (6534.54.16).
The lady at IF bank customer service implied that the problem must be due to the latest update. She would not put me through to their IT deparment for help as she said they do not provide support for Safari. Intead she suggested go to Safari or Apple for help or we try using Internet Explorer or Firefox to resolve the problem.
We have been using Safari to do our online banking with IF for years without any difficulty until apparently since the last up date on 15/03/12. Since the bank does not appear to want to help. Surely the bank IT department and Apple/ Safari are in a better position to resove my difficulty with the updates than asking us novices to to change our browser? I did not even know that is noInternet Explore for Mac.
May I have some guidance on the best way to proceed please?
