Why does all videos keep buffering and not play

Why do videos keep buffering and play when I select them?

I am in Florida, and  have a comcast business account and get download speeds of 22mbps (as tested).
The Apple tv is hooked directly into the modem with ethernet.
We have tried about 6 different routers with apple TV and none of them make the Apple Tv perform without stuttering and buffering.  So we decided to use direct hook up.
I have called Apple repetitively because when trying to watch a trailer/preview, the preview stops and the buffering starts.
This will also happen when watching movies.
Lowering TV resolution to 600x480 does not help either.
Apple fail to tell me where their Itunes servers are located, so it's impossible to do a traceroute to see if there's a problem on the way.
Desperate with this situation I opened a DSL account with Centurylink :same problem!!
It seems that Apple should fix their Apple TV product before placing a product on the market that does not perform as stated.
We took this a step further, and purchased a few Apple Tv's which we are setting up with different Internet providers to see what the results are.
You may think I have nothing better to do, but I'm building a case against Apple and shall get to the bottom of this. There are no excuses for placing faulty products on the market.

    why does i tunes keep bouncing and not open after I have done an update ?

    Hello, romani-jo. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Try resetting your System Management Controller or SMC.  Try launching iTunes after processing these steps.  If the issue persists, try downloading a fresh copy of iTunes by accessing the second link below.

  • Why does my video keep buffering?

    I am trying to watch a video on PBS.org with my MacBook Pro but am unable to because it keeps buffering. What's odd is, I am able to watch the same video on on the same website with my iPhone 4 with no problem. Why is this? Both the phone and the computer are connected via the same  wifi network and both have strong signals. To my knowledge, everything on the computer (software, adobe flash) are up to date. This is a MacBook Pro I got a week ago. What is the problem, and how do I fix it?
    Thank you to all who respond

    You have a slow Internet connection.

  • Why does my IPhone Keep Vibrating and Not Charging?

    I am having trouble with my phone. The phone is almost a year old, but not quite. The charger is a bit worn, and I'm beginning to wonder if the charger is my problem. I have it on a wall charger by my bed so I can check the time if need be. Here's my issue: it vibrates. A lot. Randomly. And I can't sleep. I'm having problems getting it to stop. I don't know if the connection is weak in the cord, but sometimes it will stop charging, then start again and vibrate. And it'll do this over and over, often it's in really quick succession. I looked online and several people have the same thing. Also, a message/notification will pop up. It says something to the effect of: "Charging is not supported with this accessory." I'm starting to worry about it and wonder if it's killing my phone, because my phone isn't holding a charge. (It just went off about four or five times right now...) My lock button is broken, so I CANNOT TURN THE PHONE OFF. What should I do?
    What's the issue, and how can I fix it? My sleep level is low and I need to know if I need to buy another charger. To sum things up, my questions are:
    What's causing the vibrations and notifications?
    Is this a hardware issue, or a problem with the cord connection?
    How much does a new cord cost?
    Thanks for looking, and please answer. I need to know whats going on ASAP.
    Thanks again,

    Hey Username411,
    Thanks for the question and detailed information. I believe you are correct in the issue of constant vibration stems from the iPhone disconnecting and reconnecting while charging. See this article for more information:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
    1. Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    2. Try another USB power adapter if available.
    3. If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    4. Try another USB cable if available.
    5. Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
    As suggested, you'll want to try charging the iPhone with a different cable to completely isolate the issue. Borrow one from a friend or family member if possible, but if not you can purchase a new one from Apple directly or an authorized reseller. It is important to buy an Apple-branded charger, which leads us to your last question:
    Apple 30-pin to USB Cable can be purchase from the Apple Online Store for $19 USD:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/C/apple-30-pin-to-usb-cable?fnode=45
    If you find that the issue does lie with your iPhone, check out your service options (as you may still be in warranty). You may want to review your options anyway due to that lock button issue:

  • Why does my video keep stopping at all stages as i'm watching a video

    why does my video keeping stopping at all times

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • Why does my iPad keeps connecting and disconnecting from the new late 2013 iMac

    Hi there,
    I've recently bought a new late 2013 iMac and ever since then I'm not able to connect my iPad 2 to it. When I do connect it keeps connecting and disconnecting  again and again for some reason. The cable is fine and I've tried it with other devices. Just wondered why this is and whether you guys can help me out.
    Thanks a lot!
    CitizenJohnny

    Hi,
    I had the same problem and just found a solution. I tryed restoring all content and settings on the iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). It took lots of time, however it didn´t work because when I connected the iPad and iMac the problem persisted.
    Then I thought it wasn´t an iPad problem but iMac OSX problem. So I searched the web for "Reinstall Mavericks" and found this http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13871?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US.
    It also takes like 6 hours with my internet speed. Next day I connected the iPad and everything is just fine.
    I described both processes because I don´t know if in the end the iPad reset helped in the solution.
    Hope that helps! good luck

  • Why does all the apps - default and the ones I downloaded - shut down by themselves repeatedly?

    For the past few days, every single one of my apps seems to shut down by themselves, as soon as I try to open them. I can try to open them several times in a go but still the same thing. Even restarted my phone a few times and deleted the background app, which usually works...
    Also it doesn't save any of my photos or theres a plain grey 'picture' with 'JPEG' on it. Moreover, on my camera roll, when I tap a photo to enlarge it, none of them focuses, so all them are blurry. I can't seem to send messages either: that said I usually get all my notifications shown on my lock screen, but lately it doesn't show at all.
    Another thing, my phone keeps repeatedly buzzing when there is no notification - or email - shown either on the lock screen and/or home screen.
    Please help! I'm running out of options what to do!

    Your best bet is to back up your device to iCloud or iTunes, then reset your device to Factory Settings (Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Content & Settings, but do not restore it from the backup. Add your apps back onto your phone one at a time (download them from iTunes in the Cloud by tapping on the App Store icon, then on Updates>Purchased>All, then click on one or two apps and download them and see if the problem persists.
    Continue to download apps to see if you start running into the issue again at any point. If you are able to get all the apps downloaded and functioning without any issues, then reset the device back to factory settings, and then restore it from your backup, and see if the issues starts up again.
    If it does start up again, then there is something in your backup that is corrupted, and your best bet at that point is to "rebuild" your device from Factory Settings rather than to keep the backup on your device.

  • Why does this video keep opening in new tab for no apparent reason

    This annoying MacDonalds promotional video keeps opening in a new tab for no apparent reason:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOUdR9vly6s
    I don't do anything. I'm just reading a web page and a new tab will open with this video playing. Any idea what is going on here?

    When does the window open? What were you doing at the time?
    What are your HomePage, and Newtab pages?

  • Why does my ipod keep freezing and skipping songs?

    I have the 80GB Ipod Classic, and for some reason it keeps skipping songs, for instance, whenever I go to look under a certain artist or a playlist of even just under "songs" I'll pick one and then it will skip one or two or ten, and there are some songs it just doesn't allow me to listen to anymore. Only on my ipod though, not on itunes. It also keeps freezing and will sometimes just stop in the middle of a song and skip to a new one. I've tried resetting it, and leaving it alone for a few days and letting it charge and leaving it off. Nothing seems to work.
    What can I do?

    I had this problem with my old 20GB classic ipod, it all started when I began using my ipod for my running trainings, every day it used to get worse freezing every 10 minutos or so, then I got ****** and bought a new 80GB classic Ipod, I have it for about 3 weeks now and guess what? It started freezing or skiping songs also. I did a test where I synced the same library on my both ipod and the songs being skipped on my new one wasnt being skipped on the old one, so its a problem with the song, then I though it could be any damage in the ipod HD but my new ipod has no reason to be damaged, the only impact that it might have recived is from my running trainings, but the impacts are really weak. Other test I did was trying to remove the song being skiped from the ipod, everytime I did that my ipod couldnt be ejcted, it kept showing me the following message "The ipod canot be ejcted because it contains files that are used by another aplication." I had to unplug my ipod without ejecting it.

  • Why does my Q10 keeps updating and clearing my phones saved information?

    Sorry these did not help me and the first one took me to something and said i had a virus and keep pop ups popping up on my computer.  Thanks anyway...I think???

    My phone keeps updating to 10.3.2.440 Software even though I have already updated the phone weeks ago.  The first issue started with the phone not letting me answer any incoming phone calls.  Then I was not able to hang up the phone call.  This is still currently going on.  I did a Master wipe of the phone and restored it back to the original state in which I received the phone and now the phone keeps updating and it also will not let me change the wallpaper.  PLEASE HELP!!!  I have never had an issue with an update like this before.  If there is no solution i'm just gonna update to a NEW PHONE...

  • Why does my screen keep dimming and brightening?

    I'm just sitting here in front of my fire during a mid-March snow storm in Maine, and my screen keeps dimming and then brightening.  It's getting quite annoying. What is going on?

    OK, I figured it out - it's the auto brightness adjustment. Found the answer in the pane to the right of my comment.
