What video plays while iTunes Radio plays on Apple TV

The first several times I listened to iTunes Radio on my Apple TV, after a short delay (while the song info was displayed on the screen) the Apple "screensaver" played on the TV (this is a collection of mostly nature pictures that are "canned" on the Apple TV).  Today, while listening, I had my computer open and suddenly the pictures were from my own iPhoto library.  When I changed the iTunes Radio station, the pictures went back to the Apple TV canned ones, and I cannot get my pictures back.  Has anybody seen this behavior, and, if so, how do you get your iPhoto library pictures to reliably play?

For those of you interested, I did find the answer myself.  In iTunes TV/Settings/Screensaver, choose your computer, or, better yet, choose iCloud/my photos (or whatever it's called) and your pictures will play at the time set for the screensaver.

    Why doesn't iTunes Radio play continueusly?  Is there something I must do?

  • My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes on Apple TV 2. Is there any fix for this?

    My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes. It just appears to buffer for no reason. I have checked to make sure that the hard drive that these movies are on does not go to sleep. Any ideas?

  • Can iTunes Radio Play Everything?

    Hello,
    I am not able to play all the radio stations from iTunes. There are many that I listen to in the car, but they do not seem to be in the iTunes radio library. Am I missing something?
    ~Christoph

    The radio stations that you listen to in your car (called terrestrial radio) are broadcast over the airwaves. iTunes Radio plays Internet radio stations, programming streamed over the Internet. Some terrestrial radio stations also stream over the Internet but many do not. The licenses fees for broadcasting are different than streaming. There are also issues with advertisers. Some radio stations don't bother.
    Or maybe I'm not understanding your question?

  • I can't get video purchased from iTunes to play on iTunes

    So, I upgraded to iTunes 6 and I installed the upgrade Quicktime 7.0.3 that came with the upgraded iTunes. I have all the current XP Pro updates installed, I have all the memory, videocards, etc etc that are in the system requirements for iTunes 6.
    I go to the music store to see how this new and snazzy video purchasing works and I bought a music video of a band I like. iTunes Music Store takes my money, iTunes downloads the video and it's in my library. Cool.
    I then select the video and a picture shows up in the bottom left hand corner and I click play and sit back to enjoy this new feature.
    Nothing happens. nada, zip, zero. It just doesn't play. New sound, no video, nothing. I try it again. I go to the help menu the only thing they say about problems is to give me a link to a systems requirement list.
    I open up Quicktime since the help file also says I can play my purchased video on either iTunes or Quicktime. I try to open the file and I get:
    Error - 36: an I/O error occured
    I check everything I can think of and still nothing.
    I drop iTunes Support and they send me an email back 4 days later that says, sorry, we can't help with technical problems so deal with it (but I can't find a single article about this problem on the website) or call our help line and probably pay a fee.
    I'm at a real loss as to what to do. I bought this video (granted it was only a couple of dollars, but still) and can't play it. Do any of the wonderful people out there have any ideas? I'm just glad I didn't buy more than this one video.
    Thanks so very much in advance,
    Shalva del Castillo

    I know exactly how you feel. I bought a video and haven't been able to watch it either. Imagine all the "couple of bucks" here and there that Apple gets to keep.
    Especially when they is no one here to answer questions and we need to trackdown someone. The FAQ's are useless, like every other companies FAQ. Nothing has anything to do with real problems.

  • ItunesU videos not playing in Itunes but play ok if you download to laptop's drive and run them from windows directory

    I'm having a problem playing some ItunesU videos, some play okay, some just show black screen and don't play, others show a still image but then doesn't play when trying to view them from itunes store. The audio files play with no issues.
    I am using windows 7.
    However, if I download the videos that don't play to the laptop's drive and run them from the windows directory they play okay. I don't want to have to download videos to see if they are something I'd like to watch.
    Just for reference, an example of a video that plays okay is by UC Berkeley Math 16A 001, Fall 2011. Another is Introduction to Robotics by MIT.
    An example that just shows blank screen is Stanford's Iphone & Ipad development, Fall 2011, both HD and SD versions.
    While an example of a video that just shows the initial image but doesn't play is Harvard's Statistics 110. If you adjust the time of the video, the video moves to that part of the video but only shows the image at that time, ex. at 13:02, but doesn't play.
    I've tried reinstalling quicktime first, then itunes. I've also tried putting directdraw in safe mode, but the problem videos still won't play.
    Could it be some setting, since it plays when the file is downloaded but won't play straight from itunes store online (ie. pressing the play button beside the video in the itunes list).
    Help pls.

    You might have more luck asking on a general Windows troubleshooting site, but my guess would be an invalid or old audio or CD driver (or firmware in the drive). You might try checking those to make sure you have the correct and most current drivers.

  • "iTunes Radio" Plays Exactly One Song

    On my Mac Pro, iTunes was upgraded to iTunes 11.1(126).  It provides the option of listening to iTunes Radio.
    I've listened to Pandora in the past and decided to give iTunes Radio a listen.  Regardless of which "station" that I select, only 1 song will play each day.  If you switch to a second station, you will see the title of the song that is to play next and the name of the artist performing the song.  If you are lucky, you might hear a scond or two of the song.
    If iTunes Radio isn't supported by iTunes 11.1, why was such a big deal made about it earlier this month?  I may not be able to listen to an entire song in the iTunes Store but I can, at least, stream a portion of every track of an album.  What am I missing?

    I'm having a very similar issue. Here's what happened to me:
    I created a station from a band and began to add other bands. The first few songs played correctly. At a certain point though, after 7-10 bands had been added, it played to the end of the song and then the station stopped. I can sometimes get it to play again but it just replays the last song again and doesn't advance to any other songs.
    I can create a new station which seems to play normal.
    I'm guessing there's a bug that happens when adding a certain number of artists to your station.

  • ITunes radio playing ads, but I have iTunes Match

    I'm putting this here as opposed to itunes because it only stared after the appletv update today.  I am playing itunes radio and using the appletv as additional speakers with the imac.  i am getting ads, even though i am subscribed to match. i made sure match was on, on the appletv but im still getting ads.  anyone else seeing this or have a solution?
    -mvimp

    itunes match on the iphone *****.  So I have to enable this and corrupt my entire music collection to get ad free itunes radio.  That is insanity.  Time for a total refund for itunes match.  Not worth it and not what was advertised.
    Pandora is honest with their subscriptions and plays better music matches anyway.  Good by ituens radio.  Too bad I can't remove it from ym phone.

  • How can I make a "Keyboard Lock" while iTunes is playing?

    How can I make a "Keyboard Lock" while iTunes or other apps are playing? They should work/play on, screen should still be on, only keyboard is (maybe Password-) locked.
    Thanx in adv, tttimo

    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts Application Shortcuts > + > Application: Browse to Pages > Menu Title: Footnote > Keyboard Shortcut: hit combination of keys > Add

  • Can't hear what I'm playing while I'm playing

    Hello-
    I can't seem to solve what is probably a very simple issue.
    I'm plugging my guitar straight into Logic Pro via a 1/4inch-to-USB cable. I can see the audio being recorded, but I cannot hear it while I'm playing or during playback. All non-Logic Pro sounds are audible (turning the computer's volume up and down, other apps, etc.)
    Weird thing is: when I unplug the USB-to-guitar cable, I am suddenly able to listen to what I just recorded.
    I have tried clicking "software monitoring" and just about everything else in the audio preferences and can't come up with anything. I've tried tweaking my system preferences as well as my audio/midi setup utility, and have gotten nowhere.
    If anybody has any suggestions I would be most appreciative because I am stumped.
    Thanks
    -Humanoid.

    Hi,
    No.1 Most FAQ
    Logic can only handle one Audio Device. Either the built in Input/Output or an external device (your USB cable is such an external device).
    So, while using the external cable, logic can't use another device, namely the built in output.
    BUT: There is a solution, which is called "aggregate device". You have to set up this device in your Audio-MIDI-Setup (Applications/Utilities). Go to the menu bar - Audio - open device editor. Klick on the plus sign to add a new device.
    Into this virtual device you can install you Guitar USB cable as input and your Mac's built in output as output.
    Now restart Logic, go to preferences-audio and select the aggregate device as input (output is always selected together with input).
    To record, select the correct input of the aggregate device in case you have added both the USB cable and your built in input / mic.
    Welcome to the show.
    And could some forum technician make this thread sticky? But however - even this wouldn't help being asked the same question over and over, would it?

  • How to make the new iTunes Radio play more than 2 songs without stopping?

    I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes (11.1.3 (8)) on my Macbook Pro and now the radio stations aren't working! It worked flawlessly before the upgrade! I've searched everywhere for troubleshooting tips and found many, many users with the same problem, but no response from Apple. I'm running OS 10.8.5 - is this the issue?
    I can listen to maybe two songs before it stops playing. My internet connection is fine and I never experienced this problem before the upgrade. Also, I hate how you can't see a list of stations. I've searched and added some of my favorite stations I knew about from before, however, they are playing completely different music? How can this be?
    Thanks!

    I just found the answer. iTunes will play consecutively the songs that are checked, if Controls --> Repeat Off is checked. When I asked the question I had unchecked all songs.

  • Computer sleeps while iTunes is playing

    Just like the title says, my Mac goes to sleep even when iTunes is playing.  This is pretty ludicrous.  Is there anyway to prevent this other than changing my power savings settings to never let my Mac go to sleep?  I don't want to do that, I want my computer to go to sleep when I am not using it.
    This sure seems like a bug.  I am running the newest version of iTunes as well as Lion.  Thanks for all your help.
    My current energy saver settings are:
    Computer Sleep:  15 min
    Display Sleep:  15 min
    Put hard disks to sleep when possible - yes
    wake for network access - yes
    allow power button to put the computer to sleep - yes
    start up automatically after a power failure - no
    restart automaticall if the computer freezes - no
    Again, I would rather not have to change these settings in order to keep iTunes playing.  Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks,
    Jake

    Jake, did you find any solution? I'm having exactly the same problem, though I just upgraded to OSX 10.8.2. I have basically all the same settings as you have. In fact I did try unchecking the "put hard disk to sleep whenever possible" for a while, but didn't help. Still goes to sleep after about 1 hour of otherwise inactivity (i.e only itunes playing).  This has got to be a bug, and seems to be affecting a lot of people.  I'll keep an eye on this topic.
    Thanks.
