Why does my airplay cut off after 5 minutes of use?

Any time here lately when I connect my mac book to my apple tv, it will play a few minutes of pandora or itunes that after about 2 songs or so, its stops playing on the tv and contiues on the computer then skips a song, almost like it froze and skips to the next song. I've tried retarting reseting my apple tv, nothing seems to work, not to mention its up to date. Any suggestions?

It may be that your Computer Sleep preferences are causing the problem. I had the same problem and extended my Computer Sleep time from 5 minutes to 3 hours.  Try extending your maximum time before sleep to a longer time under System Preferences > Energy Saver > Computer Sleep.

  • Why does windows media player cut off after 4 minutes?

    I use safari and like to listen to some radio from the internet that uses windows media player on my G5. I updated the media player recently and now it quits after four minutes no matter what media is playing. I do not have windows media on my other machine and VLC opens automatically whenever I click on a stream in my browser... and it never quits or has any problems and is remarkably faster than the windows player. How do I change the settings in Safari so that it will use VLC to automatically open any of those media files instead of media player??
    I did download Flip4mac but it does not seem to be helping!!
    thanks

    Your More system details list show the WMP plugin (np-mswmp), so that should be working.

  • Why does icloud calendar cut off the event window?

    When trying to update an event in iCloud Calendar that's all day long, appearing at the top of my calendar, the dialog box is only visible from the bottom half down. The top half of the event update dialog box gets cut off. I'm using Windows XP, the latest Firefox and the latest Chrome (it does it on both browsers). Any ideas for fixes? You can see the event I'm trying to edit below. The top half of the dialog box gets cut off.

    gedwardc, what is the size that you are trying to scan? Is it a legal document or a normal letter sized document? Has it worked before, and this is a recent developement?
    I want you to do hard reset in the meantime, so unplug the machine from both the back of the unit and the wall outlet for thirty second, and then plug it back in.
    Let me know!

  • Call cut off after 1 minute

    Hi,
    I have Cisco AS5350 IOS version 12.2(13)T. This gw is doing origination. My termination gw is Vocaltec and Cisco AS5300. When my customer call to my terminating gw, they can hear the opposite party but after 1 min, the call cut off by itself. I have check with my both providers and they say they recieved normal end call from their log file. They suspect that its from my gw. Is there any ways to check and any solutions?

    If you have already checked with your provider and they said that everything looks ok, I would suggest opening a TAC case so an engineer can double check your config.

  • Sound cuts off after 1 minute. Wireless HPs Model: TMR-RF985R

    I replied to a topic regarding the same issue, but will make a thread about it as the problem is urgent (I need noise cancelling sound for a symptom I suffer from) and of course I use these headphones almost 24/7 as my work/lifestyle relies heavily on them.
    THey were working fine for roughly ~ 2 years until recently when I started noticing that they shut off after some use. I used to think it was the batteries, but I charge them for 15 hours every night just as I always have, so that can't be it. Everything is plugged in. I've lurked over threads discussing the same problems all over the net and applied all their inputs to no avail.
    Any help is MUCH appreciated - any help that would actually work! My gut says these headphones are on their way to the grave.
    Thanks in advance
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Argh now I'm ransacking the entire internet to figure out how I'm supposed to get to the batteries on these headphones. Any help would be appreciated... (I know it's quite a newbish question, but what the he11, given the stealth on this thing!)
    UPDATE: I guess there is no option to replace the batteries without sending it over to the manufacturer??? That's kinda imprudent IMO but maybe I'm missing something (?). So I have to pay an additional fee including shipping for something that I should be able to do free of charge minus expenditure on batteries.

  • Why does the printer turn off after a few hours of sitting idle?

    After a few hours of no use the printer (HP 7510-e aAll-in-one series) turns itself off.    To print I have to turn the printer on.

    Pace,
    Have you tried a "DFU" mode restore as new, without restoring from a backup?
    If my question leaves you lost let me know and I will explain but essentially it returns your phone to it's "Out of the box condition".
    This method has worked for me an many others albeit not everyone.

  • Why does the flash go off by itself when not using camera

    Flash goes off by itself for no reason when not in camera mode

    I've never seen that on my G3.  I wonder if you have some app installed that uses the flash as some sort of notification.

  • Why does  the restore process crash after 15 minutes?  I have tried five times and it stops every time.

    My new iPad quit recognizing my password after two days.  I have tried five times to restore it and every time it seems to be working ok (downloading) and then it tells me that iTunes can't recognize my iPad without entering my password.  Of course it no longer recognizes my password so there is no way out of this catch-22.  The tech support member in the chat room suggested using my old laptop running windows 7 instead of my new iMac retina 27.*

    Hi Go to Settings Restore back to Factory settings. Since ios 7 everything can be done over your WiFi You don't need to use your PC unless you have lost your Firmware. Try Restore over your WiFi. Use same password Apple ID. Cheers Brian
