Apple TV ios 7.0 problems

Finally I've upgraded to iOS 7.0 for my apple TV gen 3. I use my Macbook pro (OSX 10.9.5) for airplay. Both are connect via wifi/wire to the same wifi router.
Everything is still good when streaming. The problem is when I put apple TV into sleep mode, the airplay icon on my macbook appear for a while, then disappear for a while, every time it appears again, the sound/music on my macbook is suddenly reduced then play again. This phenomenon occurs regularly and repeatedly in every 3-4 minutes. I dont know why this happened, it's just occurred after I do upgrade my apple TV to iOS 7.0. Please give me some advices. Thanks in advance.

Helo there Bui Truong,
It sounds like you are experiencing unexpected interruptions when Airplaying to your Apple TV. I recommend starting with these steps from the following article, named:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Restart your Apple TV by choosing Settings > General > Restart.
Try restarting your Wi-Fi router or modem by turning it off and then on again.
If possible, connect an Ethernet cable and verify your Internet connection. If you can connect to the Internet using an Ethernet connection, verify that your Apple TV is using the latest software by choosing Settings > General > Software Update. If your Apple TV can be updated, install the update and then try the steps again.
If the issues persist and you have already restarted your computer, I would next verify that your router is set up with the recommended settings for Apple devices using this:
iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

  • Apple Configurator iOS 7 BIG PROBLEMS

    As far as I can tell, any iOS 7 update, that was performed over air, will break Supervision. AC 1.4 would see a device, but would not perform any task, except to update the iOS. It would fail at Check In/Check Out and App install or update/refresh. The AC 1.4.1 update, seemed to resolve this Supervision piece, thus allowing the iOS device to update, install new app's, and check itself in/check out, however, not before completely wiping all user documents and data, and then re-supervising itself... I oversee about 500 iPads, 200 of which are locked into this nightmare. Has anyone else experienced this "bug"? If so, how are you moving forward?
    I have worked closely with enterprise support, but the issues are coming at us faster than any resolution can be suggested. Deleting data for 200 students, mid term isn't an acceptable "fix" guys. A proper working application, and workflow is what is needed here!
    I had heard that VPP was changing their T&C's regarding code management, thus suggesting that other MDM's may be able to supervise and retain ownership of VPP codes. Is anyone else aware of this??
    Apple Configurator is truly turning out to be a poor choice for our growing program...

  • Is apple recognizing there is a problem with the ios 8 software?

    What is going on with the latest update?  With all the problems folks are having, why hasn't apple acknwledged there is a problem?  I will not update until they make some sort of effort to correct all the issues that loyal apple users are having.  COME ON APPLE. Get with it.

    This iOS update is not, by a long shot, generating the volumes of issues previous iOS updates have.  You're asking us to speculate, which we can't do and historically, Apple does not publicly say anything about their products once they are in the hands of users.  But do know Apple is listening to users on a worldwide basis and if there are issues that are uniform (I say that because I've yet to experience a single iOS 8 issue on my new iPhone 6 or my iPad Air - Not ONE) Apple quietly works behind the scenes with updates rolled out over time.

  • My daughter has 2 websites she can not fully access because the iPad won't download updates for Adobe. What is Apple doing to solve this problem?

    My daughter has 2 websites she can not fully access because the iPad won't download updates for Adobe. What is Apple doing to solve this problem?

    Flash has been used for more than just displaying videos. The Vote choice your daughter found is one of those flash type sites that will not display on iOS devices. There are now over 100 million iPads, and who knows how many more iPhones out there. Developers who want their content to display on all these devices will have to move away from the old Flash technology.
    There were some version of Flash that ran on other brands of tablets. But Adobe has stopped all development of Flash for all mobile devices. As time goes on and mobile operating systems evolve the no Apple devices will lose their ability to run Flash too. Web developers need to move on to cleaner, more efficient types of programming.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ios 7 crashing problem

    I just updated my ipad min from ios 6.1.3 to 7.0 to 7.1.0. Im so upset that my ipad keeps crashing everytime I open my apps, or even when Im on the home screen.
    I use my ipad daily at work, so upsetting that I cant even use it now, because it's so frustrating seeing it crash everytime i use it.
    Is Apple doing anything with this problem? An ios update for this problem? It's just so upsetting...

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • Cannot log into Apple Developer (iOS section)

    Hi, there!
    I am a iOS developer which cannot access my developer profile, on the website developer.apple.com/ios but I am capable of logging into iTunes Connect, hence no problem with the login and password. Is anyone now having similar problems? I know that I have to pay shortly the member fee (I think the 27th of November, but not exactly sure), maybe it has something to do with that? I sent my question as well to Apple, just was as well curious if one amongst you have the same problem.
    Thanks for the help

    Problem solved!
    I think this issue is a mixture of conflicted apple IDs giving problems on the apple server but also conflicted and / or damaged permissions on my MacBookPro. Here is what I did:
    First of all I followed the instructions in this link:
    How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs
    It seems like a strange set of instructions because it is asking you to find out if you have an apple ID when you know you have one! Part of this process will also involve re setting your password which also seems strange because loosing your password was not the problem. However if you follow the instructions you end up with a page which in my case showed that I had two apple IDs using the same e mail address. It was this conflict that was causing the problems. The solution is therefore to change e mail addresses so there is no overlap of e mail addresses between accounts.
    For some people this has been enough to solve the problems. However for me one of my accounts would still not work.
    On another thread I had been advised to repair permissions which  I had done from disc utility but it had not helped. However on OSX daily  I read..."In mac OSX Lion repairing permissions from the Disk Utility app doesn’t repair the users file permissions"! Hmm nice one Apple- reparing permissions does not repair permissions! It seems that you have to use disc utility from recovery mode.
    I then followed these instructions on OSX daily (dot com)
    Repairing a Mac Boot Disk with Disk Utility & OS X Lion
    Reboot the Mac and hold down Command+R  (To boot into recovery)
    Select “Recovery HD” at the boot menu
    At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select “Disk Utility”
    Select the boot volume or partition from the left menu and click on the “Repair” tab
    Repair Disk is now possible, click on “Repair Disk” to repair the boot volume
    Now verify disk permissions and repair them
    And bingo both accounts work!

  • Iphone 5 keeps restarting and turns off under 20% bat no fix from apple after iOS 7

    Iphone 5 keeps restarting and turns off under 20% bat no fix from apple after iOS 7.
    People keep having this problem as I keep seeing and also seeing apple doing nothing to help there consumers.
    Anyone one know how to fix this problem because apple don't!
    Come on apple! A fix!!!!!

    I am having the same issues.  I feel that I have to carry around a charger because it either dies so fast, or turns off when it's not completely dead or restarts. 

  • Not working imessage!! I can not send imessage than after apple id. There are problems with Apple ?? Thanks!

    Not working imessage!! Credit card and I can not send imessage than after apple id. There are problems with Apple seeverele?? Thanks!
    Before the service reset function. Wait 24 hours to activate imessage.

    go to the settings and turn off imessage
    but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
    the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
    but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

  • Apple IMac 27 has a problem. Random black screen. Over 1 year without any fix

    Apple IMac 27 has a problem.
    Random black screen.
    Over 1 year without any successful fix.
    IMac 27 10.8.4 (12E55) - bought in 2010
    3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4GB 1067 Mhz RAM
    Graphics ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
    The IMac computer screen goes black randomly but the machine still running beyond.
    In order to go back to normal i need to awake the computer by hitting with the pointer a hot corner previously created " sleep mode" ( top left ).
    ..the black screen would come back after one second again..and then again and then again and then again..with different intervals..sometime 2 seconds after the other, sometime as soon as appears the user login screen.
    I took the machine to an Apple Store two times over one year, they opened, cleaned it but they didn't replace anything has they could not understand what they real problem was. I was happy for that because they didn't try to make me spend money on something which was not going to solve my issue for sure.
    Last time i kindly asked them to inspect everything meticulously, part by part, i left the machine with them for over 2 months. They couldn't understand why this was happening..after couple of weeks, 5 more machines came in with the same problem.
    On some of them., upon request of the client they changed the graphic card but apparently this was not the fix, the problem come back again. Apparently changing the graphic card or the screen or else it didn't solve any problem to anyone. I'm almost thinking to "trough it out of the window"..we all spend money for this machines and i think we need to know if Apple is looking in to this or not.
    Lately i tried to do an SMS RESET and PRAM RESET, it feels it got better a little but problem still coming back.
    Also, all usb  devices are disconnected and the problem still there
    Below you will see a copy of the console report. I honestly don't understand much of it as i'm not a computer guy.

    I'm now thinking to try to take the machine to its original firmware and see if it still does it, does anyone have any sugestion?
    I use a lot photoshop and other image software, this computer is essential for my work. For more then one year this issue caused me problems.
    Luckly i have a Macbook Pro too and i managed to do some of my work there. At last I was thinking to buy an external screen and attach it to the Macbook pro in order to work on my big images. But who wants to spend money again!!!???? This is not a fixture, this is silly. I wish to have my IMAc working again.
    The warranty it's obviously over and this problem happened right after the warranty was over...
    I write this post because i'm so tired of this issue and online nothing can be found apart from posts from so many people that have the same problem and no fixture has been found.
    The only fixture seams to be to buy a new computer... Ole'!!!..new money flowing in in the cashier!! forget it!!! i would rather change company if apple doesn't respond to this.
    For over 10 years i have been a Apple owner..
    When this problem appears it's like someone it's playing a joke at you...
    Comments welcome..
    Thanks

    Hi, I've seem to have found out the source of the problem.
    The issue is related to heat, and an iMac 27" gets hot pretty fast.
    If I boot the iMac straight after first start into Windows 7 I seem to get a lit built-in display at all times. I can also boot OS X first and then into Windows 7 and the built-in screen get lit every time as long as the iMac isn't hot.
    Strange thing is that the monitor connected to the display port gets lit every time. So I can only assume that the heat only interfere with output to the built-in LED screen.
    So this iMac is going to an Apple premium reseller for service, and I'll tell you guys how it went.

  • When is Apple going to fix the problem with slow Time Machine backups with Mavericks?

    I have been with Apple tech support and they got my Time Machine working by doing a spotlight re-indexing and a safe boot.  This worked for about three days and I am back to very slow backups.  It is impossible for Time Machine to back up every hour when it takes six hours to do the back up.  I don't want to take hours to re-index with spotlight all the time.  I think taking six hours to do an incremental backup is a bit much.  I see that there are many people that have this trouble and it all started with an upgrade to Mavericks.  The question is when is Apple going to fix this problem of slow backups with Time Machine for Mavericks.  I have wasted more time than I care to.  I am think of going back to Windows.  I need good solid backups of my machine and Apple has taken it away with the new Mavericks. Oh, I am using the UBS 3.0 connection so the drive should not be the problem.  Also this has occurred in about the last five months, so I am not sure this problem was in the original Marvericks.

    Allen Thanks for your reply.  All I can say is several months ago Time Machine quit working in a reasonable manner.  Right now I have a Time Machine backup that has been running all night and still has three hours to go to backup 6 GB of data.  I am using a OWC 1.5 TB drive connected directly to my MacBook with a USB 3.0 connection.  In the resent past I have added Dropbox, GoogleDrive and a MAMP server on which I am using a program called Learning With Text from Sourceforge.  There have been a lot of questions on the forum about people having very slow Time Machine back ups, so it appears to be a general problem.  I should also state I am getting this very slow backup after doing the Spotlight re-indexing and the Safe Restart procedure that was told to me by apple support.  I have a 750 GB drive in my MacBook Pro which I am constantly trying to keep at a 5% level of free space.  This might be a problem also.  However, I am working on a lot of things and like to have a lot of things on my drive.  Also the heavily loaded drive has not be a problem in the past.  This slow backup business started about three months ago, so something has happen in a very short time period.  Now it seems even the procedure that Apple support gave me is not working.  Currently I am in China and it is difficult to interact with Apple support to solve this problem, but because I am in China having my computer backed up is critical. I have run the EtreCheck and am attaching the results below. I would appreciate any suggestions.  If necessary I will clear out more of my hard drive if that appears to be a solution.  The Time Machine drive was recently reformed so I only have a few backups on it.  I also don't run the Time Machine all the time as I don't want multi-hour backups running all the time.  I run it every few days.

  • I have two iphones in my household and neither phone has the wifi greyed out, what is apple doing to rectify this problem

    What are Apple doing to rectify the problem that the Wifi icon is greyed out and you can no longer get onto Wifi!! 
    This has happened on both iPhones I my household!!
    It must be a problem with Apple as so many people seem to having the same problem.
    I have tried resetting networks, resetting phone etc....nothing works

    Broaden your perspective a bit.  There are literally millions of phones out in the world without any issues at all.  If you are reading posts on the internet about the ones with issues, then you would be left with the impression that they all have issues.  Neither you nor I have data to support the existence of a widespread issue of this type.
    Having said that, the only issue that matters is the one at hand; yours.  Let's stay focused on that.  Help is here and if we can't counsel you toward a software solution, then help will be available elsewhere, but at some cost to you.
