Stutters and logging out half way through movies

Hi all, At first I thought this was just me. I had created a couple of trailers in iMovie which played fine on everything but the AppleTV. That continuously dropped frames every second, turning smooth video into something that is jittery and unpleasant to watch.
But now it did the same thing with The Girl Who Played With Fire which I rented last night. Up until that point, rented movies have always been fine.
In addition, in both the last two films we have rented, the AppleTV has suddenly stopped playing the film at some point (about half ways through one and only 10 mins into the other) and dropped back to the menus.
Why I don't know, but the film would not be showing as ready to play and investigating the settings would so that I had been logged out of iTunes. Once I log back into iTunes, I can then restart the film and everything seems to be fine after that.
Any ideas?

Hello Ellekell,
I'd recommend deleting the movie, then redownloading it from the iTunes Store.

If you're still having trouble after redownloading the movie, you may want to report the issue to the folks in our iTunes Store.

Songs cutting out half way through

I recently bought the album Light it Up by Rev Theory on itunes, while playing it I have noticed that a bunch of the songs towards the end of the album cut out half way through and move on to the next song, is there a fix?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library then use the Purchased link in the right-hand column of the iTunes Store home page to download fresh copies of the tracks.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

I have moved to the country where my internet speed is slow. I am running some auto updates that keep timing out half way through. Can the time out be shut off to complete the update?

I'm not sure about that. But what you could try is to set the Update Preference to "Manual" and try updating at a time when the Network may not be as busy, like late at night or early in the morning.
Just an idea.

I've tried to place an iphoto album order and it quits half way through the up

I've tried to place an iphoto album order and it quits half way through the upload process. A prompt comes up saying "iphoto quit unexepectedly". It always quits at the same spot, page 17. I've tried many times. It worked last year when I made the same type of photo album. Anyone have any ideas? I have a MAC OS X 10.6.8
thanks!

What version of iPhoto?
can you preview the book - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040

Songs and Videos Stopping Half Way Through

I've had my Iphone for 8 months and last week it broke i sent it to apple and they gave me a brand new iphone.
I syned it up and my songs and videos stop half way through and start the next song..
It did that on my old iphone also..
It's very annoying.
Same with sometimes glitchy music videos that i've bought through itunes so I know it isnt codec related..

Welcome to the forums.
You can fix the songs by simply converting to AAC -- I promise you this will work.
Videos could indeed be a coding issue -- the iPhone is pretty particular about what it will play and unless you encoded them yourself (using a quality program like Handbrake with the iPhone preset) your best bet is to reencode them.

I have been watching a rental movie and the audio cut out half way through, tried restoring the apple TV now I've lost the rental.

I have just been watching (The Adjustment Bureau) a rental movie and about half way through the audio cut out, I tried rerunning the chapter but still the same problem so I tried the restoring function and now I have lost the 48 hrs viewing of the movie. So how do I get the movie back without paying for it again and is this problem likely to reoccoure and if so how do I rest without loosing the movie?

Hi David.
This must be a glitch in the movie file on the iTunes server because my husband and I just reached the same point in he film (The Adjustment Bureau) and no audio! Totally cuts out and doesn't come back in. We tried the same - turned off, signed out, and also couldn't see the rental in the menu... Sign out, sign back in and click 'Check for rentals' in the 'General' menu just under where you signed in.
It may come up with a negative 'no more rentals can be found' or similar but go back to the main screen and check anyway. It should be there.

When i publish the movie to youtube, the sound gets cut out half way through. help?

I'm trying to publish a short movie to youtube. It plays fine in the editing screen, but when I publish it, half way through, the sound cuts out on the video. There's still some background music that's playing, but the voices get cut out. I've tried republishing it in a different size and the sound cuts out at the exact same place. Any suggestions?

You can contact support and have them troubleshoot the songs for you.

Why do some of the songs I purchased from itunes cut out half way through?

I've purchased a lot of music through itunes, and as I've been playing it, I've noticed that several of the songs stop half way through and just play silence for the last minute or two. This is very frustrating as I have spent hundreds of dollars buying music through iTunes. This occurs on all of my devices, iPhone 4, MacBook and iPad 2.

I'm having this exact problem now with an iPhone 4 (not the 4S) and running software 6.1.3 with iTunes version 11.0.4.4. - The songs play fine in iTunes. In some instances I brought in the songs from CDs, in other instances I purchased from the iTunes store meaning I can't simply convert them. In either way they play silence on my iPhone around halfway through and for the remainder of the track.
I have attempted a full restore from a backup, and then reloaded all of my music, same songs, same problem. I don't feel a manual restore would help because that means reprogramming every single app, and the music would be reloaded the same way so what difference could that make?
Just to add insult to injury my protection plan ran out about 2 weeks ago and my phone otherwise works fine, so this can't possibly be worth purchasing another pricey plan just to be allowed to TALK to Apple.

Audio cuts out half way through video after conversion.

I just put together some video clips I've shot into a single video, then ran it through conversion. Half way through the completed video, the audio cuts out for the rest of the film. Yet in iMovie, it's still there. I've converted twice and it cuts out in the same spot. Could corruption in a single clip, kill the audio for the following clips? Since it takes hours to convert, I thought I'd ask before deleting the suspect clip and starting again.
I've spliced together clips before without problem, using the same camera source.
Thanks.
Cheers

I figured a work-around. From the clip where the audio cut out till the end, I dragged those clips to a new iMovie project. After converting, the sound was intact for that portion. Then I opened the complete version with audio cut-off in Quicktime Pro. Deleted the the half with audio loss. Then joined the new half I just created. Voila!
Only when I went to post the video on my vlog, did my Internet connection die (Comcast strikes again).

HT1040 I cannot upload my iphoto book to the apple store for printing, it cuts out half way through the download. What can I do?

I have made a photo book which is ready now to send to the apple store for printing but half way through the download process it cuts out unexpectadly and will not send. I have printed many books from my computer through Iphoto and have never had this problem before. What could be the problem? I have checked for updates and installed all of them. Turned my computer off and then on again. But still keeps doing this. Help ?

Apple's servers are very busy today, right after the big WWDC conference and the announcement of new products.
download process it cuts out unexpectadly and will not send
The reason for this may be that the book contains photos that cannot be rendered. Have you checked the preview of your book? Does the pdf look correct?
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
If that is not the problem, check your network and your security settings. If you are using a Firewall or Antivirus filter, disable it temporarily.

Older itunes purchases cutting out half way through

I've been noticing for some time (this is not my first attempt to get an answer) that my older itunes purchases cut out about half way through when played on my ipod (but not when played on my PC) I've tried to find an answer on Apple forums before but it seems to be one of those questions that never gets a good answer. I'm beginning to wonder if it is Apple's way of getting us to buy our music all over again, but they wouldn't be that cynical would they. Anyway, since I'm increasingly unwilling to trust Apple to look after my music I'm going back to CDs whenever possible. I don't always want to buy an entire album, so does anyone have a real remedy for this problem?

Hello Jo Tampoco,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have some purchased music that plays as expected in your iTunes library on your computer but does not on your iPod touch. Any purchases made in the iTunes Store can be downloaded again at no charge as long as the item(s) are still available for purchase so you will not be asked to repurchase these items.
For troubleshooting, depending on how your music is being moved to your iPod, there are some steps I would suggest. If you are syncing the music from your computer to your iPod and the music on the iPod is not playing completely, I would suggest trying to download that music directly from your purchases to your iPod. To do this, please use the instructions in the first article below.
Download past purchases - Apple Support
If you have been downloading the purchases directly to the iPod and the music is not playing completely, I would suggest syncing the music from your iTunes library and testing to see if it will play as expected once it is on the iPod.

Have a great day,
Joe

HT2499 I inserted a brand new DVD and it quit half way through and gave me the "skipping over damaged area" message.

I got this laptop refurbished from Apple in July. It was originally released in October 2011. I have watched DVD's on it previously, but lately, in the past 3 weeks, it's been pooping up the "skipping over damaged area" message. I put in a brand new DVD and half way through, it did it again, and I can't get past it. Any thoughts on what the problem may be?

You can just open Terminal (in Utilities) and run the rm command (make sure you type it exactly) and then reboot. With /.AppleSetupDone gone the system will think it is the the second part of an installation, i.e., after it installs and reboots and starts the Setup Assistant. You will see the Welcome and music all over again and then you can go through the setup prompts again, this time specifying a password.

HT1657 My ipod movie rental started dowloading and got about half way through before it stopped

It downloaded about half way before it stopped and completely started over and now it won't download at all.

I managed to find the rest of the movie by going to View in task bar for Safari Browser and going to "show downloads" and in there was the movie on pause. I have no idea how it got to this point but I was just glad to fins it finally. Itunes should think about coming up with something to make it easier for the novice to re find a paused movie that falls off the earth the way this one did. It took me almost 45 minutes of screwing around to find the movie. Just by placing a click on that said rented movies or something like this it would make it a whole lot easier to see the movie that just disappears this way. Hope this helps someone.
