When I rent a movie using Apple TV, it takes several hours to load and then I select watch later. When I go to my rented movies and try to watch it , it starts loading all over again. This can't be normal. Is there something that I am doing wrong?
When I rent a movie using Apple TV,it takes several hours to load. At this point, I opt to watch later. When I try to watch the movie, it starts loading again and tells me that it will be ready to watch in one hour forty four minutes. This can't be normal. Is there something I am doing wrong? Any suggestions.
If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
6mbps required for instant 720P
8mbps for 1080P
You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed.

I am using Bose AE2 headphones. The music quality is far superior when I listed on a PC than on the isphone5. Also, the volume is also considerably less. Is it something that I am doing wrong.
There are quite a few possibilities.
The quality difference may simply be the lower volume. Hearing is not linear with volume.
How much power do the headphones require? Possibly your computer can provide greater power output than the iPhone.
Some Bose headphones have a volume compensation switch somewhere. On my QC3 its on the adapter plug at the headphone end. You have to unplug it from the headphones to find it.
Do you have volume limits enabled in the iPhone settings/Music?
Are the equalization settings the same on your computer and your iPhone?
Do you have Sound Check enabled on music that is synced to the iPhone?
Have you checked "Convert higher bit rate songs..." in iTunes on your computer? -
HI! I have a new macbook air but having difficulty connecting to a router if I am about 10 meters away. My iMac, iPad, iPhones and iPods can connect easily. Is there something that I need to configure? I have no issues if I am close to it. Thank you!
Hello, If you are dealing with one of the really thin iMac's that have no superdrive, then the superdrive icon should not appear on the desktop when you plug it in, but when you put in a disk (CD, DVD, etc.) that should appear. If you go into disk utility, and look at superdrive, that should be clickable and not grayed out when you have it plugged in. If this does not show up in disk utility, go to Apple, and ask to speak to their supervisor, speaking to a customer service agent is like talking to a potato, nothing gets done. Good Luck!

I Cloud need help deleting it and starting all over again! Can U help?
I would like to delete my icoud back ups completely and start all over like it's a new phone. Can it be done and how?? Help I'm desperate!! Any help will be appreciated!
You can delete your old backups by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.
But what do you mean by "start all over again like it's a new phone"? Do you mean you want to delete all the data in your iCloud account or delete everything on your phone and restore it as a new iPhone? -
Apple TV (Gen 2&3) takes several hours to load a movie from the iTunes Library
I know this had been discussed before, but a went through all posts that I could find and never found a solution. I will list below everything I have tried and if anyone else has ANY ideas I would be extremely greatful to hear them! To reiterate the issue any time I try to play a movie from MY iTunes library it takes several hours before it will even start playing. Now, to what I have already tried...
1. I cycled my router first and after that didn't work I completely took it back to default settings. My router is an Apple Airport Extreme
2. I completely uninstalled iTunes and then reinstalled it with full library, and then I also tried with just one movie in my library that I know used to work. My home computer is a Windows 7 PC.
3. I restarted my Apple TV, and also bought a Gen. 3 Apple TV and tried it new out of the box.
4. I have tried to stream on both WiFi and hooked up to an Ethernet Cable.
5. I have tried with all firewalls turned off on the PC and router.
6. I have ended home sharing on all devices and restarted home sharing on just the Apple TV and PC.
7. I have turned off all devices using WiFi in the home.
That is all I can think of off hand so if you have any other ideas please do not hesitate to chime in so I can try something else. Do know that my Apple TV used to not have any issues and worked great since I irst purchased the Gen. 1 Apple TV.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!I have the same problem. I just purchased the Apple TV software 5.0. Apple TV is working other than downloading movies. I have been trying to download one movie for the past two days. I have a wireless network, using AT&T DSL. I have tested the connection using the test option in the Settings area of the Apple TV, which passes.
I have also tried rebooting my Apple Tv and turned off all other wireless options. I am able to download Netflix movies using the PS3 without a problem, why not on my Apple TV. I hope I didn't just purchase this device to stream music and photos.
I hope someone has a solution to this problem.
By the way I just upgraded my modem and router (Airport Extreme).
Thanks for the help!!!! -
although it is doing what i asked it to do, i want it to charge, ok so it does it... although when i turn it on it's as if it's either not charged at all but only enough to have the apple icon on my ipod, once it's had enough (which is like, a minute) it switches itself off and carries on charging, sometimes it switches itself on but this just takes it back to step one. also, when i connect my device to the USB port itunes does not recognise it for some reason, i've updated the newest version of itunes recently and i've tried annother ipod on annother computer with the same USB cable, so it's either the newest version of itunes, my ipod or my computer. please help
P.S,
i do have the required version of windows for this to work, my computer isn't a mac, it's a pc, hope this helps...how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

I would like to either enter my passwords on my phone over the computer or avoid doing it at all. Is there anyway I can do that? Like I said my keyboard is messed up and I have to turn my phone to the side to use the keyboard, but entering in the passwords the phone wont turn to the side. Help!!!!
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
There is no option to enter the password on the computer.
If the screen will not rotate, ensure that Portrait Lock is not enabled. -
Starting somewhat all over again. How?
Last fall using an iPad 1 (iOS 5) with a 17" MacBook Pro (10.6.8) and iPhone 4 (iOS 5).
Near beginning of year iPad was lost during a move. iPhone kept updating itself by
using the iStore app and entering the AppleID/PW. Recently sold MBP 17" that I
deauthenticated iTunes on never thinking about what that might mean for iPhone & iPad.
Also recently bought a PC gaming monster, please no arrows, and found the iPad 1.
Now I just again updated my apps fine on my iPhone.
For the iPad I switched the user from my me.com acct to my AppleID account.
I deleted my me.com account & signed up for iCloud using the iPad.
In doing so I got a new free me.com account for mail. I can also seem
to update my apps from the iStore app on the iPad. Now :
1. It still shows the 17" MBP as the laptop to sync to. How do I get it
to use iTunes that I will place on the new pc soon? Also, how do I get
my iPhone/iPad apps to it? It seems obvious I would use Purchased on iTunes
when it's in place on the pc, but I just want to be sure.
2. No matter what I try Mail always trys to log me in using my old, deleted, me.com acct.
How do I get it to use my new free iCloud acct? Also, why does iCloud need me.com
when I thought me.com was going bye-bye?
Thanks for any answers, links, etc.Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPad/iPhone. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore it from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPad/iPhone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPad/iPhone without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPad/iPhone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPad/iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

I want to delete my Itunes Match library and start uploading all over again..How??
Please help
Did you figure out how to do this RHW? I have the same issue - I started uploading songs from a laptop at home, and then decided to make my work computer the 'home base' machine for storing all the song files. I deleted all songs from the laptop, selecting 'remove from iTunes match' as I went, and now iTunes match shows a little 'x' in all the cloud icons. So I'd like to start over and match from my work computer, but I don't seem to have that option.
If I click on a single song, I am prompted to 'add this song to iTunes match' and it works, but I can't do this for a large batch (5000+) of songs at once. Hence the desire to just start over. Please let me know if anyone has figured this out. -
The screen is blue striped and when you try to reset it goes to blue and red. Can not see anything HELP
Bring the phone to Apple for evaluation. Sonds like a hardware issue.

Video's are missing from facebook album under photo's. It shows that I have 99 and only shows 24. These are not copyright problems. I have had them up for years. Now, I can not post any video's too. Message says that content is currently unavailable. It seemed to happen after I upgraded to 10.7.5 but it could be coincidental. Of course, I have not got any email from facebook to help with this problem and I am really frustrated that I can not find my video's and post any new ones anymore. Any help would be appreciated.
I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
Still hoping someone out there can help me.
thanks,

I rented a 1080p movie using AppleTV (3rd gen) several days ago. But the download time was so slow that I decided to let it download & watch it another day. Two days later I tried to watch it and the long slow download started all over again. So again I let it load intending to watch it the next day. When I wanted to watch it yesterday SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN! Why is this happening? Isn't ATV's hard drive big enough to store it? The movie cover always showed in the "rented" section but obviously wasn't really there.
Yes - presumably you've set up Home Sharing and can stream from the Mac using the Computers icon to access your itunes library on AppleTV?
If you rent in iTunes you have to wait for the whole movie to download (appleTV lets you watch when it thinks the length of the movie is long enough to complete the download as you watch).
Once downloaded via iTunes it'll stay on the Mac for up to 30 days, but will also be available on AppleTV under a new Rentals column in the Computers section for your iTunes library - Rentals appears along with Movies, TV Shows etc but only when there's a fully downloaded rental to stream from the computer.
One thing to be aware of is that some titles are only available in HD on AppleTV not via iTunes.
You might want to experiment SD vs HD anyway as SD downloads far quicker.

Ipod Starts up, stops, resets, and does it all over again...
Hey all,
I tried searching but couldn't find anything like what I have. I recently purchased a new laptop, swapped my old library onto the new laptop, and then went to 'sync' on the new laptop. Things seemed to be working fine, unplugged the ipod, let it sit for a few hours...went to turn it on and it froze up. Reset it, but now, it loads up, shows the apple symbol (you can hear the HD winding up) gets about 4-5 seconds into it, clicks off, then starts it all over again.
I've been unable to get it to do anything...it won't reset, connecting it to a power source doesn't do anything, and of course, it does this for as long as it can then the battery burns its self out.
Does this sound fixable without bringing it in?
Thanks guys,
JaredThis exact same thing happened to me, and I have a solution. What I did, is I just let it sit out, and do its thing (restarting a bunch) then it eventually went to the main menu. I plugged it into my computer, and did a restore.
Now if that doesn't work for you, you may need to force mount it. Plug the iPod into your computer, and hold down the middle and play/pause button. Hopefully it should stop its nonsense and show up in your computer and let you do a restore in iTunes.
Oh, and welcome to Apple Discussions!
