Limited connectivity with Apple TV 1stG

Hey folks,
im running a computer with windows 7. My itunes is connected to an Apple TV of the first generation. Everytime i download a movie or tv show via itunes and synchronize with my Apple TV afterwards, i get a limited connectivity after 5 minutes or so (time varies). Unplugging my wlan stick doesnt help. Neither does a deactivation of my wireless adapter. Only solution for getting my internet back to work is a reboot.
Anyone knows a fix or has encountered similar problems? Shutting off firewalls and antivirus software doesnt seem to help. A strange thing i observed is that obviously music files or small data volume arent affected by this problem.

    It is stated that mirroring requires recent hardware (2011 or later)

    However you can still use 3rd party solutions like Airparrot which do it via software

    I'm on a windows laptop using iTunes sharing through the family to connect with Apple TV.
    After choosing the folder of photos to be shared and displayed on the appletv and when I choose to show on screen, they are not shown in the order they are in the original folder.
    How to pair show in a certain order, for example, sorted by name.

    Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

  • My samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio

    my samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio  any suggestions?

    Jeffrey-
    If the HDMI input to the Samsung is not compatible, does it have a VGA or composite input?  I have both the HDMI and VGA adapters for the iPad, which work with the small Vizio HDTV I tried.  I understand a composite video adapter is also available.

  • Why is my connection with Apple so slow after activating Match

    A couple of days ago I activated Match on my laptop. With about 15000 thousand songs it took a long time to sync and upload my missing songs. Crashed a couple of times during the process (iTunes went 'non-responsive'). May have been my impatience. Left it overnight and it got about 2/3 of the way through.
    Went to work in the morning, taking my laptop with me and pausing the Match upload.
    Got home that evening and all of a sudden my connection with Apple is running slow to non-existent. iTunes won't connect to the store. Match won't fire up. All other internet connectivity is normal. Went to download iTunes to re-install and the file is taking an hour to download when normally it would be 2-3 minutes.
    Why would all my connectivity to Apple be so slow? Even if iTunes fully shut down and Match not operational I can't download anything from Apple with any speed. Like I said all othe internet connectivity is normal.
    Thanks
    F.

    Seems to be fixed and due to Bonjour not being on (although I never turned it off between starting Match and it working then it stopping working).
    Went into Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services and looked for anything Apple related which wasn't running.
    Bonjour was the only service I found which was disabled. Turned this on then closed and re-started iTunes and Match now appears to be working.

  • Z50-70 limited connectivity with Windows 10

    I recently upgraded to Windows 10, everthing worked fine for a day or so.  All the sudden my wifi started showing "limited connectivity", plugged in my ethernet and same issue. I have two other units runing windows 8 and 7 and are working fine.  Went into recovery and reintalled 8 and connectivity issue fixed.  I reinstalled 10 again and same issue.   I downloaded latest wifi drivers and still no fix.  I ended up imaging my machine back to 8 and am wondering if I should stay away from 10 until the service pak is released.

  • No connection with apple tv

    I have an apple 1  and an apple tv.  the connection is a problem. sometimes I get connection and sometimes not. and there is no logic in the system.
    my son was here was his I-phone, and he had no prpblems with the connection with my apple tv.
    so what is the problem? and what can I do about it.?

    You cannot enable mirroring from within an app. You must double tap home button, swipe left to right to bring up airplay, then select Apple TV and toggle ON mirroring

  • PC limited connectivity with airport extreme

    We still have a PC in the house.
    We just added the new AirPort Extreme.
    All of the Apple devices and the Zeppelin connected no trouble and have full internet acces.
    But for some reason I can't figure out the PC will only connect to the network but gets limited connectivity to the internet.
    How do I fix this please?
    Thanks

    You already know that the AirPort Extreme is operating correctly.
    So, something on the PC is blocking the connection attempt to the Internet. That might be the Windows Firewall, the anti-virus program, or Microsoft Security Essentials....if you have it installed on your PC.
    Work your way through the guide for troubleshooting Windows connection issues to see if you can find the cause of the block on your PC.

  • Xfinitywifi hotspot - limited connection with desktop computer, no login page

    Lately I've ebeen trying to connect to a public xfinitywifi hotspot with a Windows 8 computer. It takes a good few seconds to connect, and I ALWAYS end up with a limited connection. It doesn't make a login page appear like it should, either. I'm sure that it's not because I'm too far away because I can place an iPod or my phone on top of my computer and they'll get a perfect connection and have the login page pop up. But this just doesn't happen with my desktop. I get a limited connection and can't do anything, not even log in. What could be causing this, and how do I fix it? Thanks. 

    wow. nobody has any ideas on this?

  • 802.11n connection with Apple Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I have a 2009 Mac book pro notebook. I would like to purchase a router that would allow me to create a wireless network to which I can connect at 802.11n speed.
    My understanding was that, at least until recently, Apple had their own version of 802.11n that was not guaranteed to connect to non-Apple routers.
    Can any/all recent current 802.11n Linksys routers connect with Mac Pros using 802.11n?
    Thanks

    You can go for Linksys "N" Routers..Some good model no are WRT160N,WRT320N,WRT610N...

  • Problem with connecting with apple support

    Gosh I just want to get support for Apple TV.  Been jumping around link to link and discovering very un user friendly.  Easy to put in discussion.  Guess the movies I rented will never get watched but thats ok they already have the money for them. 

    I now solved my issue by buying a DVI -mini display port adapter and connecting through my DVI cable to the monitor. But APPLE ...this is not good! you should resolve this issue so it is possible to connect with a HDMI cable.

  • Dropping wireless connection with Apple Wireless Keyboard

    I've got a new bluetooth chip in my iMac from support at my location, a new wireless keyboard and I'm still having issues. Wireless connection dropped 6 times typing this one sentence. Aaargh. I've been busy with this ever since I bought the computer. On irregular intervals (absolutely no regularity whatsoever) the computer loses connection with my Apple Wireless Keyboard. So if I have a new iMac, with a new bluetooth chip and a new keyboard how come this issue is still an issue? It's driving me mad. And possibly the guys at the centre as well.

    Hi mvoltage
    Do you have any appliances with motors or other mobil telephone devices setup near the iMac?
    Both motor flux fields and Cordless Phone Base Stations can and will interfere with the operation of the iMac's wifi and airport signals.
