Apple TV (black) resets itself while streaming music

My WiFi signal is strong and there is no other nearby interference, but my Apple TV resets or reboots itself EVERY TIME I stream music. I have no problems streaming photos, movies or TV show and all internet content (Netflix, radio, podcasts, etc.) work great. Just music is my problem. Apple TV will play a song or two, then the TV screen goes dark and comes back up with Apple TV's main menu. I can't imagine it's a network or iTunes issue since everything works fine but music. Does anyone have a clue?

Just because you have a strong signal it doesn't mean you don't have interference.
However do you have any long audio tracks you can try, you could try stitching 10 or so together in QuickTime and testing to see if the problem persists.

  • While streaming music, my airport loses connection, is this typical?

    While streaming music through my iPhone, my airport extreme loses connection. Is this typical?  I assume it loses connections at other times, but it most noticeable while streaming music.

    It's a sign of a wireless environment that is less than ideal, which can be the result of wireless interference from competing wireless networks, the presence of intervening building materials and other obstructions, or any combination of these factors. They can't all be avoided but you may be able to mitigate their effects.
    Streaming music or video is demanding of bandwidth and intolerant of the minor interruptions that go unnoticed when performing simpler networking tasks.

  • Speakers dropping off while streaming music from my Apple TV

    I use my Apple TV to stream music to 5 locations around my house ( wired to Airport express with a powerline ethernet adaptor). recently I find that 2 or 3 locations jut disappear from my speaker list and randomly turn on and off again .
    I also use my IMAC to stream music and have less of a problem with that .

    I use several wifi networks to overcome potential problems caused by distance, interference and excessive traffic, I'd suggest you look at your current network to see if you can't improve it or at least optimise some settings.

  • IPod keeps reseting itself while updating

    I've had previous trouble with my 60GB iPod Video, but I think this is the last problem... I am trying to update my iPod but while its updating the iPod keeps reseting itself over and over again... please help!!!

    There's nothing you can do but bring it back to the store. Mine does the same thing, it just goes to show that Apple is so busy pushing these new iPods on us and releasing them too soon that the customers end up having to deal with their hardware failures---all because they didn't take the time to test these!!!

  • IPhone 6 skips while streaming music

    When streaming music in my Kia Sorrento, the music hesitates sporadically while playing. Is there some fix or solution. I am on 8.1.1.

  • Airport Express dropping connections while streaming music

    Airport Express once conected to my existing wifi network is not streaming music correctly, instead is dropping without a continuous play.
    Green light is always on.
    Please help

    And your reminder of the channels got it fixed. Being out in the country my internet is provided wirelessly (WISP) and  I remembered after your comment that  the tech who installed our receiver dish said that the internet is being broadcast on the 2.5 ghz band on channel 7 and if any issues arise change the channel to a lower number.   Never had an issue till now and updated the channel to 1 and back in business. A big thanks.

  • Ipod Mini reset itself while playing

    Don't know if this is an issue or not. I was playing my songs shuffled and in the middle of a song the ipod shut off and reset itself. The ipod is only 1 day old, just wondering if this is a problem or what could have caused this. It had almost a full charge at the time.

    Hi BB,
    Thats amazing, 1 day old iPod Mini.

  • IPod resets itself while trying to play certain songs.

    For no specific reason, this has only happened so far with audio from my "Comedy" playlist. Either this is coincidental or my iPod lacks a sense of humor. Please let it be the former.
    Anyway, when this occurs it takes me to the silvery Apple logo screen and the iPod resets. However, it only happens when I start to play the file. If I go through the list hitting the next button while on pause, there's no problem.
    Two questions:
    1) Has anyone else encountered this?
    2) Can anyone tell me what's going on and how to correct it?
    As a side note, this also happened with my old monochromatic 20GB 4G iPod, but that issue was more randomly initiated, and was probably due to its failing battery.

    This has been asked and answered a couple of times and I think that the same answer should help you out.
    Seems like you're a victim of the 1.2 firmware bug. It's causing mp3 mono tracks (which I could very much believe some comedy routines would be encoded as) to reset your iPod. the only workaround at the moment seems to be to set your EQ to OFF (under Settings > EQ > OFF). That seems to work for some people.
    Your other option is to try and reencode your tracks so they're not mono-mp3.
    I hope that helped. =)

  • When my screen locks while streaming music or podcast, the radio or podcast stops.

    When my iPhone 5s screen locks while I am streaming a podcast or live radio, it pauses. What do I need to do to stop this short of adjusting the screen to never lock? This is hugely disruptive while running.

    Visit the Apple Store and request for a replacement. Cheers!

  • Apple TV 2 stops playback while streaming from iTunes

    ATV is wired connected to the same router as my Mac.  After my Apple TV 2 automatically updated to 6.1.1, I started having playback issues.  I store all of my movies in iTunes on my Mac Pro (10.9.2 Mavericks) and watch them on my TV using my Apple TV 2.  The ATV2 allows me to navigate to my computer, to movies, select a movie, and begin playing it.  But about 3-5 minutes into playback, it stops and goes back to the ATV home screen.  I can go back to the movie and resume playing and 3-5 minutes later, it does it again.   I can start a movie from my Mac and mirror it to my ATV and it will play no problem but I do not want to have to do that.  I have already disabled  ipv6 on my Mac (per other thread on here) but am still having the same issue.  I have restarted my modem, router, Mac, and ATV countless times with no improvement.   Ethernet settings are 'automatic'.  Any ideas of settings I should check/change?

    In reply to my own question - I see that this is in fact possible because on one of my Apple TVs it does display the album artwork of the song playing from iTunes on my computer, but on my other two Apple TVs it doesn't, and I still can't figure out which setting determines this behavior.   Any help appreciated.   Thanks.

  • Cannot stream music while displaying photos

    I noticed that when I'm on the main menu screen on my Apple TV, I can start streaming music to it through AirTunes from my MacBook. However, as soon as I open Photos / My Photos, and select an album to start browsing through my photo collection, the music streaming stops. When I try to re-connect from my MacBook, I get an error saying that "The remote speaker Apple TV is currently being used by someone else. Please select another speaker from the menu at the bottom of the iTunes window." When I exit photos, I can start streaming again.
    This is rather annoying, as I would like to listen to AirTunes at the same time as I'm viewing my photos. I have not set up my Apple TV to play any music while doing so, so there should be no conflict. Is there a workaround for this?

    I don't believe you can use the tv for anything else while using it as remote speakers for airtunes (including watching photos)
    Your options would be to have the tv play music itself while watching photos (seems much more straight forward to play music and photos from one place than one from the tv and one from your mac)
    or
    Set the screensaver to slideshow and allow it to engage while streaming music from your mac via airtunes.

    Hi doftin, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I don't understand what you mean by
    It startsto reset itself while i amorking on applications like word excel photoshop.
    Please explain what actually happens.
    Do you have upwards of 15% free space on your HD? If not, this could be causing issues.
    Have you run Repair Disk? Boot from install disc (insert disc>restart>immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screen go to Installer Menu>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the left side>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself).

  • Stream music to two airports at the same time from my iPad2?

    I found out from the apple-website that its possible to stream music to two(or more) of the new updated Airports from a computer at the same time .. can i do it from my iPad2 also?  i want to build zones in my home and be able to use them one by one, or play music in several of them together at the same time.
    I,m currently using the Spotify-app from my iPad2 or iPhone3GS to my existing(old one) Airport Express, and need to know if i can bye more Airports?
    Thanks in advance
