Why does Apple TV randomly shut off in the middle of playing music?

Can anyone please help us with Apple TV? It worked the first night and played for the entire evening. Now it will play for a short time and just stop mid way through a song. Any thoughts?

Whatever setting you prefer.

If you have it set for one hour and you are watching a movie does it stop in the middle of it?
No

Do you have to put it to sleep?
No

Switch to the appropriate input on the TV.

No, that would be rather annoying to constantly have to sign in and out.

Hey madelinefrommiami,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, it sounds like it may be a hardware issue if moving the earphone shuts off the iPod. A frustrating situation for sure. Take a look at this page for information on available service options.

Randomly shuts off in the middle of songs.

My brand new nano randomly pauses and shuts off in the middle of songs...help!

Same thing happened to mine. Im trying to figure out if its under warranty but i dont remember the date i bought it on. i think its the headphone jack. This seems to be real common. Its supposed to pause when unplugged but mine doesnt. then when the screen goes to sleep it will pause. Real strange. Poor design. I hate the unplug pause feature for this reason. Mine will play if I keep my finger on the screen or keep it plugged into the charger.

Why does my ipod randomly turn off after 5-10 minutes of use?

Why does my ipod randomly turn off after 5-10 minutes of use? Is the battery defective?

I figured it out. Headphones were not plugged all the way in. This support community is awesome. Thanks everyone.

Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 1.9 and 2.1 computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I cannot renew my MobileMe account, why? Is Apple incapable of keeping their old subscriber accounts active and still update their system? Maybe I should look into buying a PC in the future? I eagerly await your reply. Thanks

MobileMe is being terminated in two weeks. If you have files on your iDisk which are not also on your computer you need to be downloading them as soon as possible or you will lose them.
You can migrate to iCloud and set Mail up manually to receive your @me.com mail:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You will not be able to sync calendars or contacts. If you want to have general online file storage you will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:

Laptop Shut Off In the Middle of System Recovery

I tried to factory reset my laptop and it shut off in the middle of the process. No when I turn it on it says boot device not found, please install operating system on your hard disk, hard disk (3F0). Help!

I see that your notebook is not detecting the hard drive. Start by doing a Hard Reset to see if it detects the hard drive. You can try accessing your BIOS to see if it still sees the hard drive there. How long have you had the notebook for?

IMac shuts down in the middle of playing WoW

I'm not sure why but my iMac suddenly turns itself off in the middle of playing WoW. It doesn't happen immediately, but after playing it for a few hours.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I take it into the Apple store?
Thanks!

A freezing issue is not really the same as shutting down, in my opinion, but the link is appreciated nonetheless.
I'm glad I saw this thread; I'm having the same problem. Presently, I'm running a "test" by leaving my computer on for ~48 hours straight without loading WoW. I'll see if it's still on in a couple hours when I return from work.
First, I will remove and reinsert the RAM. That's easy enough to do, and Apple gives instructions on how to do that.
My hunch is that something related to the video card / logic card might be heating up only when I use something that exercises the video card more than simple, standard applications. I don't feel anything getting hot, though (on the outside of the computer), but it's worth looking into. Perhaps I can manually change the fan speed for the CPU; maybe this thread would be helpful for you, also:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1516765
Or this article:
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/10/16/modify-adjust-and-control-fan-speed-and -temperature-of-apple-macbook-macbook-pro-and-mac-mini/
If none of this works, I'm betting on a logic card issue, which would be bad news. But there still might be hope; it could be that some components are loose and need to be re-seated. Since I'm out of warranty, I won't have much of an issue opening up the iMac and looking for them myself, but be careful if you are within warranty, still. You may simply want to bring your computer in and ask for things to be replaced for free instead.

I have a 64gb ipad mini that's been updated to iOS 7.0.4. Lately it's been randomely shutting down in the middle of a screen.

I have a 64gb ipad mini that's been updated to iOS 7.0.4. Lately it's been shutting down in the middle of almost any app and the screen goes black and then the apple logo appears as if I've done a hard reset. I've tried both soft and hard resets but with no results. Sometimes thes happens several times in a row. Does anyone have any ideas? I did read discussions and close running apps to make sure there is enough memory. In the past this sort of happened (rarely) and it just left an app and went to the home screen, but this is a total shutdown.

I think you have covered most of everything that you could possibly do at this point other than restoring the iPad iOS software. That's what I would try now. If that doesn't fix it, make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask a genius to evaluate the problem for you.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Why does my iPod nano shut off randomly? I just bought it. After about a minute of music, it shuts off.

I just bought my wife an iPod nano. Went through the set up and then updated the iPod through iTunes. Now, after about a minute of music (with two different sets of headphones) it simply shuts off. As if it's in power convseration mode. But I can't find a setting to prevent this. Very frustrating for having JUST bought this.

If you have not already, do a Reset following this procedure.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
A Reset just restarts the iPod. It is not erased.
If that does not help, the most likely fix for your problem would be a Restore. This WILL erase the iPod, re-install its softare, and set it to default settings. To do it, select the iPod in the iTune sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. The button for doing a Restore is there.
For anything that is currently on your computer (such as songs and pictures) that were synced to the iPod, you can just re-sync them. That should not take too long, even if you do it manually (without using automatic syncing).
For anything that is only on the iPod (not on your computer), they will be lost if you do a Restore. But that was a known risk. After all, your iPod could be lost or stolen (or seriously damaged), and those items would be lost.
If those items are songs you purchased from the iTunes Store, you can re-download them (at no cost) on the iTunes Store Purchased screen.
or even be recognized by my computer when it is like this. It just sits there.
If you are having a problem getting the iPod to be recognized by iTunes, which is necessary to do a Restore, try this... Set the iPod to Disk Mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
Then, see if iTunes will recognize it when connected. Also, if it is recognized more reliably in Disk Mode, before doing a Restore, you can try using a third-party method or utility to transfer song files off the iPod to your computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.

Why does my ipod classic shut off unexpectedly

Why does my ipod classic (80 gb) shut off unexpectedly? This happens often and more so when the earphone (any earphone) moves. The only time it does not shut off is when my ipod is lying flat on a table.

Why does my phone randomly turn off?

Hello..so when I'm listening to music or using an app, my phone will randomly restart itself. Why???

Also if i shake the phone around- the light will turn off but if I accidently touvh it again it'll turn on.
Sounds like a hardware problem to me.
Try a reset first by pressing the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
It's unlikely that a restore will help but you can try... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Why did apple make me shut off find my iphone when i ordered a replacement iphone

I called 1800myiphone to get a replacement phone yesterday. When they told me they would send me a replacement the first thing the girl had me do was shut off find my iphone. Anyone know why?

That is required so that the Activation Lock is disabled.
As long as Find My iPhone is actived the only way anyone can do anything with it is by first entering your Apple ID and password. Otherwise all it is a brick.

Why does my MacBook Pro shut off when I close it?

When I am done using my MacBook Pro I would usually just shut the lid and the MacBook would then go into sleep mode. In other words later when I pick it up and open it the MacBook screen will light and I can begin using it immediately. However, lately when I shut the lid the MacBook will shut off completely and I will need to push the power button to turn it on again. I am curious as to what may be causing this? Any help or knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
