When streaming movies it pauses every 5 seconds as if its buffering,..it is not as the buffer is way past the playing point, software issue ?

is this a software issue ? there are no updates for my mac, I updated the flash player recently. cant figure this out.

frenchy5370,
is Sky provided by cable or by satellite? If it’s by cable, then every Sky subscriber in your immediate neighborhood is sharing the pipe which Sky provides. (That is, it wouldn’t be a matter of how many devices are behind your firewall.)

Lose full screen when streaming movies

Lately when streaming netflix my screen minimizes on it's own.If I click on full screen it comes right back.The intervals are random.It just started doing this and I don't think I added anything to my computer that caused this.

Please start your own topic, instead of resurrecting a 3 year old topic...
State your operating system & version (32-bit or 64-bit), web browser & version (32-bit or 64-bit), as well as the exact symptoms you experience ("cant" tells nothing to me).

I want to play a song I bought but when I press play it says I need to authorize my PC but when I put in my Apple ID it says its already authorized. What should I do to be able to play the song?

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

Streaming movies freeze, pause and re-buffer amm the time

Hi to all.
When I stream movies to my Apple TV 2.3.1 (i.e. the movies are not synced and copied to aTV's hdd) I constantly have a pause after a few minutes, then the aTV rebuffers (blue bar filling up on the bottom of the screen) plays for a few minutes then rebuffers again, then plays, etc...
I have an N only (5GHz) WiFi network connecting my iMac to an Airport Express base station,to the apple TV.
Is there anything I can do?

sounds like you have a slow network... could be interference with the wireless signal (neighbors WiFI, other 5GHz devices, more walls, long distance etc)
try this...
open activity monitor and go to networking
set a movie to sync to the appleTV, then initiate the sync
in activity monitor you can see what kind of transfer rates you are getting
5GHz is faster (do you have wide bands enabled to get the speed boost?) but over a shorter distance and more apt to be affected by walls, floors etc.. 2.4GHz is better in this respect but more apt to be effected by other 2.4GHz devices because more wireless devices, WiFi networks etc work in this radio band.
1st figure out if your network is slow..

When streaming movies from itunes, I get an error that there is not enough storage

I stream a movie for my kids and the ipad says that there is not enough storage available. I can stream from Vudu and Netflix with no issues. When I started streaming from itunes, I cannot due to this error.
Still learning iOS, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

iTunes Store does not stream movies.

Error 15006 when streaming movies

When I want to stream movies from my PC I choose "Apple TV" in iTunes and after a few minutes I get an error named 15006 "unknown error during connection to Apple TV". Any solution to this problem ?
Harald

Alos worth restarting routers, itunes and AppleTV - if AppleTV was originally detected and has since restarted or woken the router may have assigned a different IP address - it shouldn;t matter in theory but itunes might be trying to talk to AppleTV at an address it's no longer using.
Playback via Airplay in iTunes and direct playback selection onscreen from AppleTV use different communication protocols.

White Screen When Streaming .MOV videos

Hey everyone -
Any thoughts as to why I'm seeing a white screen (no video) and audio when streaming a .mov file from a website?
The computer in question has Quicktime 7.7.2, plugin is enabled and is running Windows XP SP3.
I've tried removing and reinstalling Quicktime, upgrading to 7.7.3 and downgrading to 7.7.1 - no change.
The issue persists using Firefox, IE 8 and Chrome.
I can play the video fine on my MacBook Pro (running Lion) and on another Windows workstation - different PC model but everything else is the same.
Any troubleshooting suggestions would be fabulous.
~Lyssa

Went through and disabled any plugins that could be grabbing it & no joy...I can get it working on another PC that is absolutely identical (same graphics card, software installs & network configuration). Most puzzling!
I think we'll just download the videos from this point forward and try the plugin periodically; eventually it'll start working again.
Thanks for your help!

Pause imported swf when Captivate movie is paused

Hello,
I have created several small swf-animations (e.g. textboxes
flying in) which I use in a captivate movie. This works fine,
however, when the movie is paused and then continuied, the
swf-animations on the slide start over again. I have noticed that
the swf-animations that come with Captivate don't show this
behaviour. What's the (actionscript?) trick?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Jan

This problem stumped everyone...I was on the phone with
Raptivity for DAYS!! here is the solution they proposed which seems
to work......
Step 1: Open a Blank project and click on
‘Insert-Animation’. Browse for the swf file of
Raptivity and click OK.
Step 2: Save this project.(Create a new folder for this
project on some location on your machine.)
Step 3: Select Edit > Preferences.
a. In the Publish Settings option of the Project menu, select
Animations in the Externalize Resources list.
b. In the General Settings option of the Global menu, browse
for the saved folder (under Default locations) of Captivate’s
project and click on OK.
Step 4: Now click on ‘Insert-Animation’ and
browse for the fix.swf file (attached along with this mail) and
click on OK.
Step 5: Select Edit > Preferences.
a. In the Publish Settings option of the Project menu, select
Animations in the Externalize Resources list.
b. In the General Settings option of the Global menu, browse
for the saved folder (under Default locations) of Captivate’s
project and click on OK.
Step 6: Publish the file. To do so, click on the menu
File-Publish and ensure you publish this in the same folder of
Captivate’s project.
Finished !!! you have successfully integrated Raptivity into
Captivate directly.

Lag/delay when streaming Movies from external HD

I'm streaming movies through iTunes on my iMac (with Airport Exteme) from an external HD. Unfortunately, I'm experiencing a jerky/stuttering/flickering image even after it is finished buffering. Can someone please recommend a way to fix this? I have too many movies to fit on my iMac's HD and need the external HD for storage, so I must find a way for this set up to work.
Thanks!

Thanks Alia,
I'll try the Quicktime tip. I've made sure all other apps are closed but still, all my HD seem to be lagging and stuttering a bit. For all I've read in the forum, it seems many have the same issue, although many responses say they've found a solution. I'm really hoping I can figure it out, I have way too many movies to fit in my iMac's harddrive.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Why does my iMac screen continually wake up when streaming movies?

Whenever I stream a movie from my iMac to Apple TV, my iMac attempts to wake up every few minutes. It is in the same room as my tv, so it is distracting especially at night when the login box constantly pops up. Until a few months back I never had this issue.

The computer needs to wakeup in order to play the movie and interact witht the files in your iTunes library.. it's either this or the appleTV will get an error.. and you'd need to walk over to the computer and wake it up manually.. i have a mac mini and i just turn my screen off.. not sure if there is a way to just disable the screen itself on a iMac but that is what you want to do.. but the iMac really does need to wake up to interact with the appleTV.. as i said.. you can have this happen automactically or the other option is to manually walk over the the computer and wake it up everytime you appleTV gets an error because you computer is asleep..

When I want to watch live stream, the buffer comes on all the time. I have 32bit, server is wildblue, highest option

32 bit laptop, wildblue, highest speed. Live stream is choppy. it doesn't run smoothly

I had this exact same problem- Found a suggestion on a simular thread that fixed it. Right Click anywhere on your screen to get to Display Properties. Find out the make and model of your video card(in my case it was Nvidia). Go to their website and to the driver download link. Download the updated driver for your card and follow the instructions to install.

When adding a PDF file to a New Message in Mail it does not show up as an icon link, the entire document appears. How can you attach a PDF without the entire document displaying itself?

After scanning a document, I save the file in a PDF format. When attaching the PDF file to a New message it appears on the entire page instead of a PDF icon link that the recipient can click on to open. Why can't I get the PDF file to appear in a icon format? Thank you.

I downloaded audiobook from iTunes. It comes in 2 parts. Part one will not play, only part 2. When I tried to sync to ipod or iphone it prompted,"file could not be reaf from or written to".Can I fix this issue?

I just purchased and downloaded an audiobook from iTunes. I tried to sync it to iPhone 4 and iPod Classic but with both devices got a message"file could not be read from to written to". Then I tried to play the audiobook in iTunes and realized that only part 2 of my 2 part download will play. Part 1 will not play. Is this why I got the message? Is there any way to get another try at downloading my audiobook I just paid $15 for??

Click the Shuffle button at bottom left of iTunes window so the crossed arrows are not blue.
