Airport or iTunes issue?

Question

Airport or iTunes issue?

My Airport Extreme; gives me a WIFI connection to 3 devices in a single room.
It will stream an iTunes store video solidly to my iPad and iPhone; but the same video will pause every 10 seconds or so with a spinning cursor on iTunes on the mac. Trying to troubleshoot this issue; is it my airport settings or an iTunes issue or something else on the mac? Need to have someone point the way...

Thanks

Aluminum iMac 20 inch, Mac OS X (10.6.4), 4 gigs RAM 2.66 Ghz

Some information on where you are storing the video would be helpful. What type of Mac. List any details that you think might be helpful.

The spinning cursor doesn't sound like a wifi issue to me. When I rent content and I run out of video to stream, I don't get a spinning cursor. You might try repairing permissions in disk utility to see if that helps.

If that doesn't work, give a more thorough description of how you are streaming the content. This will greatly help in pinpointing the issue you are having.

In this case I'm streaming the "Beatles arrive in America" through the iTunes store; and not 'storing' it anywhere on my mac as far as I know. Video will freeze every some seconds; but the same vid will stream perfectly to my other devices basically the same distance away in the same room; namely iphone and ipad.... Strange.
