Voice keeps dropping while watching Apple TV

While watching Apple TV movies and such, the voice seems to keep dropping out. If I rewind it and play again it is there, but this keeps happening throughout the entire movie. Have to keep rewinding and starting. Almost like it cannot keep up with audio and video at same time. I am using OS X 10.10.4 and the older version of the Airport express, about 6 in square. The Apple TV is about 4 years old. Could that be going bad? Any Ideas?

Well, I tried something this morning. I restarted the Apple TV. Under General Tab and on Restart. This seems to clear up the problem. Not really sure why, but it worked. Thank you for your answer in this and that is what I was looking to do. Thank god I don't have to as of now.

My mac keeps crashing while watching video online

I am new to using a Mac, but it keeps crashing while watching online video (netflicks, espn ect.) while on battery power. Battery
power is sufficient when this happens. I cannot restart until I plug back into power. Any advice would be appreciated.

Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk. You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions. No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

Wifi constantly drops while watching Live Stream TV

My Wifi constantly drops while watching Live Stream TV. I cannot make it through a 30 min tv show without it dropping me serveal times.I can only resume if I refresh and re-connect to my reouter. I just had my service installed 3 weeks ago and have been told I have the latest router.

The most likely cause for your findings is that your neighbor is using a different channel on his router, or he is broadcasting a stong signal on the same or a nearby channel, and interfering with your signal. However, don't rush out and change your channel to the same one he is using, as this may only make things worse. There are, however, several things to do to improve your wireless connections:
First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, Bluetooth (including Bluetooth game controllers), microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, and your neighbor's wireless network. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Hope this helps.

My safari keeps crashing while watching movies/TV shows. No error messages. Just disappears. I have to start it up and it'll run for a while and then repeat disappearing. What's up? Apple wants to charge me but this is only since updating to 10.10.1

What is going on? I have never had this problem until I updated to OS 10.10.1. Now apple Tech Support wants to charge me to look into it. It crashes with no error message.

B,
Dag-nabbit! That's what I'm talking about. I installed AdwareMedic and I have every expectation that I'll see great results. I'll have to follow up with a donation. I'm not very savy and you guys have helped me with new confidence. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Now, any possibility someone can help me with backing-up with time machine?? My old external hard drive went south and I had to get a new one. Now I can't get it backed-up because it takes too long. There is to much to back-up for an initial try. My computer ends up shutting down/going to sleep and it can't finished a complete back-up. It seems to want to take about 18-20 hours as best as I can remember. I used to be so anal about my back-ups now I am completely disillusioned.

Safari keeps freezing while watching videos

As the title says, Safari freezes while I watch films/TV shows on SkyGo, though it is fine when I watch videos on YouTube/LoveFilm and when I use SkyGoDesktop. I can only watch about 5 or 10 minutes of anything on SkyGo online before it freezes and the spinning coloured wheel appears - every Safari window/tab I have open freezes, not just the one containing SkyGo. It used to work fine until a few days/weeks ago, but even after updating the system on my MacBook, it freezes
I have logged on to my laptop as a Guest user, and it freezes then as well.
So... how can I fix this problem please?
Thank you for your help!

I have exactly the same issue! Late 2008 MBP freezing and looping the audio. I just two days ago did an erase and install of 10.6, did all the software updates and have as clean a system as you could imagine. I had a freeze tonight exactly as you described while using BBC iPlayer (based on Adobe Air I think) using the 9600M GT. I just bought Applecare before the first year was up because I intend to bug the heck out of Apple to get this fixed!
I made a short video on my mobile phone of the frozen machine - I'll put this on my iDisk and email you a link to download it if you like. You can then show this to the techs and at least explain that yours is the same.

I have a Macbook pro mid 2011 and just bought the Apple TV. While watching program or movie from any of the apps such as Watch ABC, the program keeps stopping and starting constantly.

That would indicate a network issue.
Reboot ATV and router
Make sure DNS is set to auto
Ensure router is up to date, if on wifi try ethernet
Go to istumbler.net to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

While watching a live program my voice keeps going off and on

while watching a live program, like the news, the sound keeps going off and on sometimes takes a long time to come back on?
I have checked my connections and they are secure so I would appreciate a little help with this, I am not a very smart computer person so have patience please.

Make sure the manual of the monitor says it supports the frequencies you are choosing.
Make sure the amp in use by all devices plugged in does not exceed the amps your circuitbreaker/fuse supports in that portion of the house.

Why does my apple tv keep dropping out of home sharing.

why does my apple tv keep dropping out of home sharing.

I use homeplug powerline adapters to create my home Lan. I've never had any problem with my ATV 2.
This isn't ideal either, I would rather have shielded CAT7 cables reach all the way to my modem.
Either way, wired solutions are more reliable and have a higher potential speed as wireless uses pulsed electromagnetic radiation as a means for transportation in stead of copper or fiber optic cables
The World Health Organization's IARC has recently classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly level 2 carcinogenic to humans, concluding:
"the evidence, while still accumulating, is strong enough to support a conclusion and the 2B classification. The conclusion means that there could be some risk, and therefore we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk."

TS4611 I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also after 3 meters away it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issue. Will Apple ever come up with a solution?

I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also, after 3 meters away from the rooter it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issues. Will Apple ever come up with a solution? There is a program pack for the connection issue but I cannot believe that this computer wifi keeps connected only while nearby the rooter!

Applied this update?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4611?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
If the update is installed aready, you may have to wait until OS X 10.8.5
update if and when it is relased.
Best.

While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark? I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed. Can someone help me?

While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark? I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed. Can someone help me?

It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

Why does my Apple TV keep dropping out of my Wi-Fi Network?

I've only had the device for about 3 weeks and I've already returned one hoping it was a hardware issue but the new one is doing the same thing. I enter my Wi-Fi password and it will keep in for about 48 hours. Then when I go back to it I find that somehow it's kicked off and I have to manually re-enter the password and start all over. Very annoying and if I can't figure it out I will just return the device and live without it. I can watch Netflix on my Wii after all.
Anybody with similar issues or been able to fix the problem?

Apple TV Keeps dropping , Just got a replacement today but does the same whats the problem

I went today to the Apple store in Fashion Center in Las Vegas , NV . Replaced my Apple TV Box 3rd Generation 1080 P and when the technisian gave me the new one told me if you will still have the same issue contact support? What a joke so they will charge me money to talk to them.
Well why it keeps dropping ? Just had a replacement where Apple never told any one of a recall , Apple is getting to be a cheating company and hope that a class action one day will make them pay fines of Millions of Dollars.I bought it at the Apple store and they have all my infor along with an Imac,MacBook Pro,Two Iphone 5's and an Ipad Air . Hey Thousands of Dollars spending of hard money and what Apple egnores you ? hey that is not right someone has to start a class action lawsute against them have them pay for all this.
I am a big fan of Apple but after today I will start cutting with my Apple products and go back to Windows at lease Bill Gates never cheated on us, But still Steve Jobs was great , Unlike the CHEATER Tim Cook that even dont have a recall on his faulty products.
I have many crashes with my Iphone 5 and my new Ipad Air and when ever i go to the Apple store there Tec people always says well you have to Reset all setting and then it will resolve the problem.I see that this is all they know, Mostly kids working there and it is not my first time that i hear this , RESTORE the Phone or the Computer or the Ipad thats all they know , They have no clue of whats going on ,I encorage you to go to Fashion Show Calleria and tell them that your Iphone keeps crashing all they will say right away Restore all settings and they did it to me but same issue presists , So today i did not want them to restore my new iPad air where the Tec Lady saw that it has crashed so many times.
This is a real joke i Google my TV Box and saw that since 2012 they where having issues with it and no one had let us know.I kept restarting the Apple Tv till last night when it got on my nerves and Googled it and saw that there was a problem that was going on for Two years.
So what do you guys suggest that i will do to resolve my problem,I count on you here at the forums more than counting on Apple.
Regards
Sam

My experience is that the dropping connection looks like a firmware 6.x issue, whereas losing home sharing already occurred in firmware 5.x Actually, I felt that the losing home sharing problem was at least partially solved in firmware 6.x
I also know that the home sharing issue is quite complicated and may be not related to the Apple TV at all (but more to the network / sleeping computer / iTunes).

The latest version of itunes on my imac keeps quitting while playing through apple tv. Anyone having the same problem?

Are you downloading iTunes form an Apple website or somewhere else? If the answer is somewhere else, try downloading it from Apple. Click on iTunes in the black menu bar above and go from there.
Let us know what happens.

TS3116 I download a movie and while watching it freezes or pauses. I have apple tv first generation. What is the problem? I can watch trailers just fine.

I am having problems with my First Generation Apple TV. My software is up-to-date. 3.0.2.
I download a movie and while watching in pauses and freezes for as long as a minute sometimes. I have already checked with my ISP regarding network issues. There are none. I can view trailers with no freeze or pause issues. Just the actual movie when I download. Is there something I am missing here?

You must have a slower connection if it took 2.5 hours, did you pause it or exit out to the main screen? I've paused movies many times and it resumes..it could be due to the connection as well so what is your actual speed? Check www.speedtest.net Wifi or ethernet? Have you changed the DNS settings?
