Streaming freezing while playing, unless I touch the screen every few seconds to keep the streaming actively flowing.

Streaming from iPad, through an app and the streaming will stop unless I touch the screen which seems to wake it up and will begin from where it stopped. Can anyone tell me why it does this? Kind of makes watching something a little annoying. It's as if the iPad goes to sleep, which stops the streaming. Is there a way to keep the streaming going without having to touch the screen every few seconds to have a the streaming continue as a steady feed?
Thanks,
David H.

If you are streaming through an app it may need it to be awake so it can receive the feed on the iPad and then airplay it, depending on how the app functions. You can set the auto lock to never

When I play either music or movies on my ipod touch it stops every few seconds and I have to restart the song/film. AT the same time, it won't hold a volume contol. It jumps louder or softer, or simply jams on either very low or maximum volume. Help

No one here is going to do anything about it. Send feedback to Apple.

Movies played in DivX player audio glitching every few seconds?

I have an MBP & I've noticed that everytime I watch a video/movie w/ DivX Player the movie will glitch every few seconds. DivX Player is my preferred program to watch movies/videos, so I haven't checked to see if it's also doing it w/ Quicktime etc.
Any ideas?

If this were happening to me, I would try to narrow down the source of the problem by seeing if the problem persists by (1) logging in as a different user (e.g., Guest) and (2) starting up in Safe Mode. (1) Helps identify problems specific to your account, e.g., login items, preference files, etc., (2) helps identify third-party system-level conflicts.
If you can get to it, you might try trashing Finder preferences at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. You could do this with Terminal. Also, try dumping Sophos.

IPod Touch 3G loses wifi every few seconds

I just purchased a new Touch 3G last night, and every few seconds it loses the wifi connection and reconnects. It does this over and over again consistently. When i go into wifi settings, i can actually see the settings for my wireless disappear, then reappear with a check mark beside it, every few seconds.
I've tried changing broadcast channel in router, from mixed to non-mixed G, resetting the router and iTouch, and release/renew. My laptop and desktop are connecting fine with the wireless, so i assume the issue is with the iTouch.
3.1.1 OS

Just recently purchased and mine does the same exact thing. Mine seems to show a strong 3 bar connection while in the WiFi settings menu. When I back out to Home, the signal indicator suddenly drops to one bar and will flucuate to 2 or 1 bar. I have done all the tricks mentioned here with my router as well. But in my home I use assigned static IP's. Every setting is correct on the iPod Touch's menu. Im lost as to why it does that.

Periodic 30 sec freeze while playing TV shows

While watching a TV Show on iTunes, every few minutes it would stop for about 30 seconds and I would get the colored wheel.
It isn't a problem with the actual TV show file because I am easily able to go back to the point where it started to lock up.
I checked the console and these are the messages...

I have no idea what they mean... I upgraded to Snow Leopard this weekend and this is the first time I have tried play a TV Show since... although prior to the upgrade I did experience pausing like this when playing music.
Any ideas? I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes and nothing changed.
Thanks for any help you can provide!!

Hi, bgrieb.
Thank you for visitng Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like these shows are in a HD format and are not supported on the iPhone 3gs. I would recommend downloading the SD version of these shows and then sync these to your device.
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device

Lag/freeze while playing 'League of Legends' (onli...

Hello,
I am having problems playing an online game and am hoping somebody may be able to help.
Basically there appears to be a widespread problem that causes BT users to experience extremely odd lag while playing League of Legends.
Ping/internet speed is completely normal and all other online activities are unaffected, but during gameplay myself and many others are experiencing strange lag every few seconds.
Because internet speed/ping is otherwise fine and this doesn't happen every game, it leads me to believe that the root cause is the connection between BT and certain League of Legends game servers.
Further information can be found here:
http://forums.euw.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2070081
Multiple BT users are all experiencing the same problem.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I too am experiencing this problem. Severe packet loss to a large number of League of Legends game servers. Only BT Customers seem to be effected by this.
It doesn't occur in every game, but this is because the server that players are assigned to play on is random, and while a large number of these game servers are affected, it's not all of them. I'm guessing there's some bad routing to a datacentre or even a country in Europe where these particular servers are located.
I'm aware that this isn't very helpful as I'm unable to identify the IP addresses of the affected servers, but could someone technical from BT please get in contact with Riot Games to try to resolve this issue? Riot are very much aware of it, but I'm not sure they have been able to get in contact with the right people.
This is not just a few people who are affected, but several thousand who share this hobbie. I feel that the only option for these people (including myself) will be to change our broadband provider. Obviously BT accell in a number of areas, but unles Riot games and BT can resolve this, I can foresee a large number of Customers switching to a broadband provider who's unaffected.

Movie freezes while playing. Lasts for several minutes and continues to happen throughout movie.

Could be related to interference. Check istumbler or netstumbler to verify. If on wifi try ethernet.

Firefox is locking up VERY frequently after every few seconds unless I minimize the window and maximize it again. But then in a few seconds it locks up again, unable to click anything or DO anything

Firefox is locking up VERY frequently after every few seconds unless I minimize the window and maximize it again. But then in a few seconds it locks up again, I am unable to click anything or DO anything and it is becoming extremely annoying! Ya'll just released a new version that I'd hoped would have fixed this issue, apparently not...and I also can't select an option in a drop down box, I have to use my keyboard to do so...
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Yeah I'm seeing this as well. A force quit and relaunch seems to solve the problem for a while.
IMHO the app has just gone downhill in the last few years. Useful tools like browser history from the back button are hidden / rendered useless (click and hold doesn't work so well from a track pad), and it's performance just isn't what it used to be.

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

While updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

My Macbook Pro *****! I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button.

I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button. a 2 week old computer is not supposed to do this! it wastes all its time being so flashy that it just craps out all the time. sometimes i feel like i should have stayed with my virus covered PC. at least when it shut down randomly you could turn it back on, but with the macbook pro, it just keeps restarting itself over and over. need help with this, any answers?

Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.

When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frame every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

These may be different issues, but lets look at rentals first.
Poor motion can result from mismatched output. If your source is 24 or 30 fps you should set the output of the Apple TV to 60 Hz, for 25 fps content use 50 Hz.
Additionally motion software on the TV itself can cause the picture to jump, check your TV settings and turn off any motion settings in use,

They can fix it at the Apple Store. I wish you could get it fixed for free, but the warranty doesn't cover accidents like this . It sounds like you understand this, I just want to make sure you know.
