Streaming movies cut out after 10 minutes

Hi,
I'm finding that when I try and stream a movie from my iTunes (iMac 21.5") to my ATV2 (using latest Airport Express connected to a Virgin Media Modem), the movie freezes after around 10 minutes. When I check the wireless network, the whole thing has gone down. I have to switch off Airport and then turn it back on again. This can happen 8 times during a 2 hour movie.
I have tried resetting and restoring the Apple TV.
I am also finding that while I am trying to watch a streamed movie, the rest of the wifi network cannot be used for internet access.
I have tried changing the channel of the WiFi in case I was picking up interference from neighbours but this made no difference.
If anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate it as the ATV is currently just a black box that sits under my TV gathering dust.

I actually never thought of that.. Thanks you're probably right here's why:
Here in New Zealand, our home ISP has an option for a signal booster for the home. I manage to get full signal and can teether unlimited at 550kbs/s out of my iPhone, as oppose to our faster home Internet but at a 40gb/month cap... Hence why I'm tempted to use the most out of my iPhone and half a megabyte speeds is probably the cause of overheating.
Thanks for the reply!

Audio cuts out after 2 minutes

I'm having a bizzare trouble with the Audio cutting out after 2 minutes while watching TV. It comes back for exactly 2 minutes only after I change the chanel, and with every subsequent chanel change after.
I have the Audio out on the @anywhere card connected to the line-in on my Audigy 2 sound card via a stero cable (which I've changed) and I've verrified that my sound card is ok by running other devices into the computer through the line-in.
I've also had alot of trouble with the MSIPVS software crashing and causing my system to hang. I've only had the card and software for a short time and am still working out the bugs but any help will be appreciated.

Did you look at the top of THIS forum? In the Announcements and Important threads? I know there is a sticky thread about sound cutting out, it may, or may not be related to the one problem you have.

Can anyone tell me if there is a solution to this.....since downloading the new 07 software on my iPad, Skype talks are always cutting out after a minute or so.

Since downloading the new software 07 onto my iPad, I have endless trouble with my Skype talks always cutting out after every few minutes or seconds of talking. Can anyone tell me if there is a solution to this? Many thanks

You are adventurous. Nothing wrong with your Mac. If I were you I would leave terminal and Console alone until you get familiar with your Mac. Even then unless you absolutely know what you are doing in Terminal you could end up with an expensive door stop. Play around with iPhoto, Safari Address Book, iCal. Read some Mac books from your local bookstore. Hang out at the forums. in short just have fun.

Video Cuts out After 20 Minutes

With my iPod video coming soon I am preparing movies to put onto my iPod. I convert DVDs into MPEG1s, then MPEG1s into uncompressed AVIs because QT can take audio and video from AVIs. My final uncompressed AVI is perfect, audio and video all the way through. Now, when I convert this AVI to an iPod format movie (320x240), a QT movie (.mov), or a MPEG4 (I have tried all three), it seems to work fine, no errors or anything. Then when I play the result, the audio goes all the way through, but the video cuts out to a white screen after 20 minutes. Is this fixable or do I have to wait for a QT update? By the way, the movie is 90-100 minutes long.

You are converting a DVD (MPEG-2 format) to MPEG-1 format and then to .avi file. This new (now compressed twice) file is compressed again (conversion to .mov).
Too many steps and way too much re-compression.
You should search for some software that will export from MPEG-2 to the iPod settings.
The white screen issue is probably caused by broken time codes (the MPEG-1 file, I suspect).
I've seen new software releases designed for iPod video export (both Mac and Windows versions). Maybe you should try a few of them.
Can the iPod battery hold out long enough to play 100 minutes of video?

Video problem - sound cuts out after 29 minutes.

I have put some TV shows from my computer onto my iPod but after 29 minutes, the sound cuts out and I am left with just the video. If I skip past 29 minutes, the screen goes black for a second, then returns to the previous menu.
My iPod is a 30GB 5G with iPod Software version 1.2.
I used iTunes 7 and tried 7.0.1 to copy the videos to my iPod. They play fine on the computer.
I have put films (1hr+) on before and they have worked fine, however that was with iPod software 1.1 and an older version of iTunes.
Any ideas?

Well sounds like the TV shows had transferred errors. Have you tried reloading them?
Also make sure the Frame rate, and Audio rate are working ok. You will know if they are not, if voice and video are off even slightly. Also how long are the TV shows? 30 Min? If they are, then it may just be a corruption or skipped of the last min or few seconds, because the video is ending. That would explain the black screen. It does that after the video finished and it goes back to the last screen. So it just may have not copied the last few sec of the video, that happens sometimes. Try reloading it again!
Also if that does not work, try resetting the Ipod. I would hate for you to “Restore” your Ipod for just 30-60 sec of lost sound of a TV show. Especially if everything else if working well.
Best of luck. Don’t forget, if this post helped you, click Solved or Helped at the top of the post. It makes our rank better!
Have a great day, and hope you fix your problem.
P.s. it could just be that your Tv shows End at 29 min-ish as well IDK?

Onboard Sound Cuts out after a while - anyone know why?

Hiya peeps,
Ever since I bought my MSI motherboard, the onboard sound has been a bit dodgy. Whenever I play games like UT2004 or halflife, the sound cuts out after several minutes of play. It only comes back again if I restart the game, but then after a few minutes it will cut out again. Anyone else experienced this?
I have tried altering all the game settings from safe mode sound drivers to full EAX H/W accelerated but this has made no difference to the stability of the audio. I have been updating all the drivers to my system as and when MSI live update picks them up, os I am up to date on that front. I have a lot of decent kit (PSU etc) in my machine and its not overclocked in any way at all. Also I have the most up to date direct x too.
My system spec is below, please help chaps.
PS im trying here as MSI have not responded to any of my email queries about this problem.
Regards,
MrG.
CPU: P4 2.8E Prescott 800FSB (200MHz * 14.0) HT Enabled
MEM: 1GB Corsair XMS3200C2PT Platinum CAS2
MTB: MSI 865PE Neo2-PFISR (MS-6728) Bios V3.7
GFX: GexCube Radeon 9800 Pro
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 120GB ATA-100 8MB
PSU: Enermax EG465AX-VE(G)(FMA) 460W
OS : WinXP SP1, all drivers up-to-date and Liveupdate up-to-date
Nothing is overclocked and all BIOS setitngs are set to the defaults.

I had the same problem, this is how i fixed it:
Uninstall everything relating to the drivers for your sound from both the control panel AND the device manager, do not let windows PnP install ANY drivers. Then manually install the latest drivers, not from live update, but from MSI's website, then run the installer package. Make sure you reboot at every step, since that's what I did, and no more sound cut-out.
See, we have many of the same specs in our computers, this is probably the same issue I had.

When watching movies over Wi-Fi on my AppleTV, it cuts out after a few minutes

Whenever I watch a movie from my AppleTV, either via the "Movies" or "Computer" options, it keeps cutting out after a few minutes.
However, if I play something on my iPad and send it to my AppleTV via AirPlay, the movie plays without any problems.
What could be the problem?

That would indicate an issue with the network.
The Movies icon is streaming from icloud. I would verify your current connection using speedtest.net. Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network)
The Computers icon is utilizing home-sharing to access your local content off your computer.
Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.
Try connecting via ethernet.

Audio Cuts out after a few minutes. IChat AV 2.1

I have surfed and have not found any topics like this yet. Audio is cutting out after chatting with another Mac - AV user. Both microphones still appear to work in the preferences, but the person can not hear on the other side. Video works fine, but now audio. Any help or suggestions would be helpful. Virex 7 has already been removed. This solved the video problems. Merry Christmas.

Hi Brian,
Your title states that the audio cuts out during a chat but the post itself seems to imply that you do not have Audio after the chat.
IF it is cutting out during a Video cut can you please tell us what connection speeds both ends have ?
It should be a at least 100kbps up and down.
If it is not you will have problems. You may find that a cable connection varies as the chat goes on and this might be part of the problem.
Soemthings that might help:
GO to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab and set the Connection sped to mathc the download speed at either end.
GO to iChat > Preferences > Video > bandwidth Limit Drop Down and set this to NONE.

The audio on my macbook pro cuts out after a few minutes.

The audio on my macbook pro cuts out after a few minutes. It sounds like all the low end is removed. I still hear audio but it is MUCH lower and sounds filtered. I can barely hear it maxed out. Nothing attached (no external drives, no speakers, etc) and it's only a few days old.

Apple store pronto. If need be (if less than 14 days from purchase) exchange for a new one!
Ciao.

.MOV's Audio Cutting out after first few seconds????

If anyone could assist me I would be extremely grateful. When I import .mov files into Premier Pro cs5, it cuts out after a couple of second. Any other file works fine, it’s just the mov’s. If I play the QuickTime outside Premier it works fine. Does anyone have a solution?

FaceTime audio keeps cutting out after a few minutes

Every time I try to use FaceTime on my iPhone 4, the audio cuts out after 5-10 minutes or so.
Even after hanging up and calling back, there is still no audio. The picture is fine, but I can't hear anything the other party is saying. They apparently can hear me fine, so it appears to be something with the speaker. However, the speaker works fine in every other app.
I also tried using Skype, and it worked with no audio problems. So the issue is definitely isolated to FaceTime.
I do not have this problem with my iPad. It works fine. I tried showing this to a genius at the Apple store, but they can't do anything because the phone is no longer under warranty.
I tried wiping the phone clean, and setting it up as a brand new phone, and still have the same problem.
Any suggestions?

Hello
To get a better handle on the problem, connect at least one computer to the router using an Ethernet cable. This can help isolate the problem further.
You can pretty much connect as many devices to the wireless side as you wish. The only problem you might encounter if you connect a large number of machines on the wireless side is lack of bandwidth. I can't imagine 5-6 machines on a wireless network would be a problem, unless one or two of them attempts a large file transfer. Even then, I would expect the wireless to be slow - not down.
What version of firmware is in your WRT160N? How long have you had your router, and has it worked properly in the past?

When "Log out after X minutes of inactivity" is on, display gets black and a weird pixelation when I move the mouse

When "Log out after X minutes of inactivity" is on, and those X minutes pass by, my MBA logs out. After that, when I want to use it again, I found that display is totally black and if I use the touchpad, then I can start seeing "what is behind" that black screen (Login Window), like you can see on the picture:
I took it to Tech Service and they didnt find out any hardware issue. Any ideas?

I recently found out that this only happens when DISPLAY is set to go to sleep minutes before the "Log out after X minutes of inactivity". I had "Display sleep" option set to 5 minutes and "Log out after 10 minutes of inactivity" and this causes the display to go to sleep first (screen goes black) and then, 5 minutes later, it logs out.
If "Display sleep" is off and "Log out after X minutes of inactivity" is on, the issue does not replicate. So Im thinking it has something to do with the screen being black at the moment it logs out. Can you try and replicate that?
I will be checking the thread you suggested and hopefully oudgrad1764 can find a solution. Thanks a lot.

My ipod video sound cuts out after 30 sec

I play my movie and the sound cuts out after a while and then it only plays the video with no sound. It's not the video because it works fine on my computer and all the other videos are doing the same thing. I found if I rewind or fast foreward the sound comes back but only for a little while and the sound cuts out again.

This happens with the current firmware 1.1 upgrade on the iPod. You can downgrade the firmware to 1.0 and this will solve that problem. Doing it this way you won't have to restore the iPod which will erase it. If you can't do this then you can restore the iPod using the previous updater.

The other option is to use QT Pro which will work to correct the problem:
http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146142
1) Open up the Video file in Quicktime Pro
2) Select File->Export
3) Select "Movie to MPEG-4" beside "Export:", then click the OPtions button
4) Select "Video" & make sure the "Video Format" is set to "Pass through"
5) Do the same for "Audio", then hit OK
6) Save the file

Airplay cuts out after one song

I am having a problem with airplay cutting out after each song when using Itunes. I tunes continues to play but tracks but is not transmitting via airplay.
configuration is as follows:
Airport time capsule is connected via wireless to airport express, airport express is connected to wireless internet router via cat 6 RJ45, Apple TV connected via wireless to airport express.
It is not physically possible to connect all devices together with cable.
Time capsule is set to extend network via wireless connection to airport express and both are configured for 5GHz.
I can connect my MAC Book Pro mid 2012 to either the Time capsule or airport express.
Aiport express is connected to a Sound sytem and apple TV is also connected to separate Sound System.
When playing tracks through ITunes and selecting both or either airport express or apple TV airplay cuts out. If I connect directly to my old internet router it also cuts out, indicating there is a possible problem with the WI-FI connection but each device has a perfect connection due to their proximity. If I connect my MAC Book Pro directly to the airport express in the same room and within 4 ft of each other airplay cuts out after one track so that does not indicate a signal error.
This problem has only started recently and did not happen on my windows PC and if I play directly from my IPad or Iphone the music streams perfectly but I can only stream to one device at a time.
Current configs:
Airport express Version 7.6.4
Time Capsule version 7.7.1
Itunes version 11.1.3 (8)
MAC Book Pro OS 10.8.5 mid 2012
Apple TV (latest update)
Obvious things I have done:
Checked for updates
Rebooted every device several times
Tried moving every device closer together (made no difference)
Re-rooted all light aircraft and switched off every thing that could possibly that transmits device in the house
Does anybody have a solution to this problem.

I have this same problem.
I am using an Alienware Aurora desktop PC running Windows 8.1. My music library is stored on Synology Diskstation 1513+ NAS. The PC, Playmaker and NAS are all wired into a Netgraer D6300 router.
I have no problem playing iTunes through my PC speakers or headphones but when I use Airplay to play either through my Apple TV OR my Bang and Olufsen Playmaker (through to B&O speakers) the music stops after one track even though iTunes is still playing the next track in the playlist. If I stop and restart, or if I choose another track it plays through to the end and the problem starts again. If I play wirelessly from my iPhone through the Playmaker and the B&O speakers I have no problem. So it seems to be fairly and squarely an Airplay issue?
This was intermittently happening but is now happening all the time. GRRRRRR!
