Apple – Support – Discussions – Apple TV wont shuffle homemade music …. If you are Alley_Cat you would have the solution.
Choose a video in iTunes, right click on it and GetInfo.
Under options tab ,skip when shuffling, is probably selected – change it for all affected videos and you should be ok
I don’t like the cloud storage that it uses as the default. I think that people still don’t trust the cloud enough and the concern about DRM and restrictions. Its kind of funny that people want full control of their media, but don’t wish to have actual physical media. I probably won’t buy a CD again and I was a heavy user of the iTunes store back in the day. Since it can also use local storage like a Time Capsule, do you think this is a ploy to post sales of that hardware? Or are they pursuing more of a Google model of cloud services?
When you play a TV or Movie do you always get that message? Alley_Cat has the solution. “Turn off music volume control in Settings and it should stop doing that, but you may find it less convenient for music.
If you’ve played music and reduced/changed volume there’s a chance that it’s low and when you play a movie which will get output at full volume it will potentially frighten the life out of you if you’re connected to am amp with volume set quite high.
It’s designed to be a protective warning/reminder I think but if you haven’t reduced volume it still seems to happen so I disable volume control.”
This seems to be a growing issue according to this thread. Doesn’t seem related to Internet Speed, network configuration/congestion. Seemed to go away for some users, and still a problem for many users. I wonder if this is just growing pains like with MobileMe’s slowness?
Even after the poster restored it and did extensive troubleshooting. Since it was only 3 months old, he took it back and got a replacement. Unfortunately sometimes there are lemons with products.
