Wavelength clash when streaming wirelessly?

I have my iTunes set-up to play through my stereo wirelessly. I have a full wireless network at home & have Airport Express & Extreme. The internet generally works ok, sometimes it times out when I'm playing music this way and often my music stops or drops out & I get the following message:
The remote speaker "speaker name" is currently being used by someone else. Please select another speaker from the menu at the bottom of the iTunes window.
The only way to sort this out is to quit iTunes & go back in. Hugely frustrating.

digital signals dont degrate or loose quality in picture or audio
so if the signal is poor stuff simply dont get recieved which will result
in lost frames and flickering and stuttering in audio

  • ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

    Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

    I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
    If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:

Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

  • Wlan router restarts when streaming music to Airport express

    Hi guys,
    Yesterday I received my brand new Airport express which I plan to use for streaming music from iTunes to my Stereo. Unpacking and installing the lovely looking AE was like x-mas eve and birthday all in one .
    After the installation where I set up the AE to join my wireless network. My wlan is a WEP 64 bit encrypted one, I had some problems adding it to the network with the wizard of the AE tool, but this worked just fine after using the manual set-up procedure instead where I chose WEP 40 bit in the AE tool. I also upgraded AE firmware as a part of this process.
    So, the AE pops up nicely in iTunes, and I started streaming music to them, and it worked perfectly... for 10 seconds. Then the music stopped, the play-bar in iTunes stopped, and I also noticed that my laptop (Acer laptop running Windows Vista) lost the internet connection.
    After some investigations where I switched off volume adjustment on remote speakers in iTunes and reseting and re-installing the AE, I noticed that the reasons for the problems seems to my wlan router re-booted whenever I started streaming music to the AE. My wlan router is a Zyxel Prestige 660, and it has worked flawlessly for the last two years. The AE is connected to the network, it gets an IP address, and it shows up just fine in the IP list on the router, that is before it restarts... And once the router re-starts the logs are gone, so it's not possible to see what's happening in that end.
    Has anyone ever experienced the same? What can the root cause be? Changing the wlan encryption is unfortunately not an option since the router is pre-programmed from my ISP. I'm considering changing my modem, but I'm reluctant to spending 150 bucks on a new modem if this may not resolve the issue.
    Any comments or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

    Part 2: The mystic restart of the router was solved through changing to a Thompson Speedtouch 780 (luckily my ISP sent me a new wlan router and I didn't even have to pay).
    However, the problem with the music breaking up when streaming from iTunes to the AE remains; The stream is broken after just a few seconds, and it also seems to mess up other internet traffic on my laptop . I've tried with the AE in a number of different locations, even 1 meter away from my laptop - nothing works.
    As it is now, the AE is useless. What a disappointment .

  • Web streaming: wireless or ethernet?

    i'm considering getting an apple tv and i have a question for you experts. when you stream content from the web, such as internet radio or netflix, does the apple tv stream directly from its wired ethernet connection or is your computer doing the streaming wirelessly to the apple tv?
    i wouldn't want to have to have the computer turned on. also, i get so many drop-outs with air-tunes on my airport express that i would rather stream internet radio without anything being wireless.
    this may be a simple question but i don't see an answer anywhere and, not having an apple tv now, i can't figure it out.
    thanks.

    When you stream content from the web, it goes straight to the web without your PC's involvement. You can go wireless or ethernet to netflix etc. You only need your system for iTunes store and iTunes library content.
    Regards.

  • Why my mbp doesn't photo stream wireless

    why my mbp doesn't photo stream wireless

    I'll assume you are talking about an iOS device that takes photos. 
    Check the following:
    From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.  If grayed out, check Restrictions in Settings>General.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
    Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
    Note that when photo stream is turned on, only pictures taken from that point on will go to the stream, not existing photos.  For those, sync them to a computer using itunes and USB cable.

  • When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!

  • Loop drops when connected wireless (NI 9191)

    Hi,
    I cannot figure out why a NI cDAQ 9191 chassis has connection drops when connected wireless and works
    perfectly when connected thru LAN.
    I wrote a little test VI to check the connection accuracy. The chassis has a NI 9375 I/O module plugged in.
    A Moxa AWK3121 is used as wireles access point. What I do is check 5 digital inputs and control 3 digital outputs.
    The outputs are continuously placed on/off at a different rate. I use an event loop and a main loopt that communicates
    to the chassis at a loop rate of 10ms.
    The chassis, laptop and Moxa A.P. are all close together on my desk. The Wifi signal is excellent.
    Now, the code i written is probably not optimal.
    But...  If I start with connecting the chassis with a LAN cable to my laptop, Wifi Disabled, Linked Local. The communication is perfect.
    No drops between the loops and the real time.        
    No communication errors. Runtime was 52 minutes.
    Second test. Connected the chassis to the Moxa A.P. with LAN cable. Laptop connected wireless to the Moxa A.P.
    Chassis still in Link Local. Ik can access the chassis in MAX. No problem.
    When I run my test, I immediately see loop pauzes. After one minute there can be already a difference of 20 sec.
    between calculated looptime and real time. Sometimes the active light on the chassis goes off and on.
    When the active light is out, the loop is on hold. (Wich is normal as I assume the DAQ VI's are waiting for response.)
    After appr.10 minutes the error -50405 "No Transfer in progress because transfer was aborted by client".
    If I look at the timings there is already a difference of more then 5 minutes between the loop timing and the real time.
    As last I tested with the chassis and the PC connected wireless to the Moxa A.P.
    I did not get the -50405 error, but again loop drops. After 10 minutes there was a shift of 2 minutes.
    Has anyone experience with wireless connections with the NI 9191 chassis?
    Can I change my code? Did I mis something? (I'm a newbie to Labview)
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am not clear on whether you are connecting the two together "in it's own little network" (which implies "router" and not "AP") or if you are connecting to the LAN through the wireless device (in which case it is entirely appropriate to refer to the wireelss device as an "AP").  Your last post about hot spots is what confused me.
    But as you said, the biggest worry is the active light.  Try using a different router/AP.  I've seen routers overheat and reset themselves before due to inadequate heat sinking.  i.e., Someone (not me, I swear!) dropped the AP and knocked the heat sink off the chip.
    As for the delay, if you are indeed using the Moxa as an AP, are you sure you're connecting to your AP?  If you're connected to a hotspot instead, your throughput will be at least halved - and maybe even 1/4 bandwidth if your AP happens to have connected to a different hotspot than you did.  If you are using it as a router, try differnt bands or channels to see if you can get around any interference your company wireless network might be generating.
    In general, conclude that wireless isn't the best way to connect test devices together.

  • When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

    When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

    No problem.
    This is a user forum so you are not addressing Apple. There's nothing to fix, that's how home-sharing works. There would be no way for the ATV to recognize your library and display content if the computer is in sleep mode.
    You can always airplay from an IOS device or use icloud if you don't wish to keep the computer on.

  • Itunes freezes when streaming music to airport express and to loewe air speaker at the same time?

    Hi,
    (first post )
    I was recently offered a Loewe Airspeaker. I already had an Airport Express connected to a hi-fi system.
    The Airport Express + hi-fi is in the living-room and the Loewe Airspeaker is in our bedroom.
    Both are connected to my network via wifi.
    I was trying to stream music from my iMac to both the Airport Express and the Loewe Airspeaker.
    When doing this, I am able to get the same tune on both devices, but iTunes systematically freezes
    =>music continues to be streamed but interface on the iMac gets the endless multicolor wheel !
    Has anyone seen anything similar before, for ex. is there a similar issue when streaming music to 2 different Airport Express?
    Any idea on where this is coming from?
    Any idea on how to prevent this?
    Thx in advance
    Rodolphe
    A few precisions on the configuration:
    the iTunes library and corresponding music are located on a Mac Mini configured as a media server.
    The iMac connects to the mac mini via wifi (shared folder). Home network is organized via an Airport Extreme.
    Both computers run Mac OS 10.7.2 Lion and are up to date.

    Well, repying to my own post... Might have found the solution: I tried to do the same with a Macbook Pro 2010 using the very same setup. And it worked perfectly! No freeze, no nothing.
    One explanation I see:
    my iMac is dating back to May 2007, a Core 2 Duo 2,16Ghz with 2 Go of RAM.
    So the computer's characteristics (or the Wifi component or the combination of all of this) might be not robust enough to allow streaming to those 2 devices...
    Anyone's got anything to add?

  • Bit of a strange one.... HD Movies "Judder" when streaming to ATV2

    Bit of a strange one.... all my HD Movies since the latest ATV2 update "Judder" when streaming.
    It's very hard to describe but whenever there is a fast Zoom or Pan shot the image flickers for around half a second. It seems to happen every 20 seconds or so, this has only been the case since the latest update of ATV2.
    I purchased Tron Legacy (HD) from the iTunes store and it occurs when playing that movie. It also happens on all my self generated HD contect.
    Strangely it does not occur when streaming to my 1st Gen Apple TV, which makes me think it has nothing to do with my Home Network setup, as they are both connected via Ethernet cables.
    There is only a problem with HD Streaming and ATV2.
    Any assistance would be appriciated
    Hans

    The last update seems to have introduced a feature which lets the Apple TV detect the native frequency of your TV, in the UK this is probably but not always 50 Hz, this is beneficial for Home video and broadcast content in these locations where the frame rate is 25 fps. It isn't ideal for 30 fps or 24 fps content though which most of the iTMS movies and TV shows are.
    Also of relevance is that some TV's make a better job of telecine/detelecine than others due to the quality of their components.
    Although I don't necessarily think that Apple are responsible for the ability of 3rd party TV's, the problem could be easily overcome by allowing the user to manually select the Apple TV output as was the case with the Apple TV 1. This would allow the user to switch to 60 Hz for 30/24 fps content and 50 Hz for 25 fps content.
    Some TV's have motion settings which worsen/improve the situation depending on their settings.

  • How do i stream wirelessly from 4s to my LCD television

    how do i use my iphone and connect to an LED 60 inch Samsung television wirelessly

    You can stream wirelessly if you get an Apple TV and connect it to your TV.
    Otherwise, you can as RG said cable directly; what cable you'll need will depend on the inputs on your TV, but HDMI is probable so you'd need this adapter:

  • IPad 3 very hot w battery drain when streaming AirPlay!

    Why does my iPad 3 get very hot and battery drains very quickly only when streaming with AirPlay?

    Just in case anyone else is experiencing the same or similar scenario that I was (see first post), turns out that the Apple Care Geniuses determined that the PMU (Power Management Unit - I think the "U" is for "unit" anyway), was corrupted or not working properly, so too much power was being used for tasks that shouldn't have used up so much power.
    They replaced my unit, it may or or may not be a refurbished unit, although it looks new and was manufactured on a later date than the one I brought in.
    The Geniuses were very helpful and didn't just turn me away saying to "turn down the brightness or turn off WiFi when not in use" which I do anyway.

  • ATV stream wirelessly w/o any other additional gadgets but Airport Extreme?

    Hey, I am sure this is probably a stupid question and may have been answered, but I just want to clarify that since I have APPLE EXTREME streaming wirelessly that it will stream to Apple TV without any other additional adapters, etc?? I ask because I own WDTVLIVE and while I enjoy that it plays almost every format, I am having a heck of a time trying to get it to stream wirelessly. I've bought several USB wireless adapters "claimed" to be compatible, but they didn't work. In any event, I am thinking about just purchasing ATV since a working adapter could cost just as much (if I ever find one that works??) if I can get a confirmation that it connects wirelessly as my IPOD, IPHONE, LAPTOP does through my Airport Extreme?? I am correct to assume that it's just a matter of plugging in the device and it should detect my Airport Extreme without any other additional Wireless gadgets??
    Thanks in advance for whomever answers.

    How do you know this if the new Apple TV has not even shipped yet? I was wondering the same thing. I currently stream iTunes media library through Airport Extreme w/Hard drive. If this is true then that would be amazing. I might buy 3 of them for different rooms of my house.
