2nd Gen Apple TV stream audio no video of iTunes rentals since updates

Please advise. I've seen so many threads from numerous people having similar issues, but the few knowlegable individuals that have offered advise to others, has not helped in my situation.
Everything I have is up to date to the latest software: computers, apple tv, remotes, iPad, etc. Home sharing is on. I have reset the apple tv numerous times. I have unplugged the high quality HDMI plug from both ends. The plug itself is fine.
Do note, this worked fine before the 2nd to last update. I constantly stream music, videos, anything from my ipad to apple tv w/no issues ever. Once the update to the 3rd gen ipad activated, done, gone was video. Audio only.
I currently have a rental that will expire in a few hours that of'course I didn't watch last night since I couldn't use the apple tv.
Please advise.
If the advise involves detail, step by step is always appreciated. Thank you in advance.

It looks to be an issue with the video app. For now best to rent directly or you can mirror if it's iPad 2 (or later)

  • 2nd gen apple tv not streaming after last software update

    I have 2 2nd gen apple tvs. I updated the software to 5.0 on one but not the other.   The updated apple tv is having streaming issues with my purchased content. Netflix will stream but not my purchased tv shows or movies. Anyone else having this issue?  I tried a reset but that didn't work.   And my other apple tv which i didnt update is working fine.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    Damian,
    Thank you for taking the time to respond and no chance I thought that was rude.  Unfortunately I had already reset and rebooted prior to posting.  Also I have another 2nd gen apple tv and I stream netflix all the time as well as amazon prime and am not having issues so it's not my connection.  The only difference between my two apple tvs is that I upgraded the software on one (which now isn't working right) and not the other which is still functioning well!  So I am curious if anyone else has experienced this and has a solution. 
    Thanks again for your ideas and if anything else occurs to you, ping me!

  • 2nd gen Apple TV sync issues

    Just wondering if anyone one else is seeing this problem and if they know of any fixes/workarounds. I have several movie files that have some corrupt frames. If I play them back with my 1st generation apple tv or iTunes they play with no problems, it just plays through the corrupt frames. When I play the same movie with the 2nd gen apple tv when it gets to the corrupt frames the video stops and the audio keeps going. Sometimes if I hit pause then play it will work and start playing OK. Sometimes I have to fast forward a bit. After doing this a few times the movie will finally jump back several chapters.
    Also is apple looking into a fix for this problem?
    TIA for any help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If the movie file is corrupt, almost anything might happen in some circumstances. I wouldn't have thought you can expect Apple to resolve an issue that is caused by a corrupt video file.

  • Problems with Camino and Safari browers on sites streaming audio and video.

    The Camino browser (latest update) will not allow me to type anything if I am listening to a site with streaming audio or video. As soon as I start typing, I get white patches all over the place. The only solution was to use Safari for listening and do the typing on Camino. Now, Safari freezes on every single site that has any streaming. The Safari version is 3.03, and it was working fine a few days ago. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.  Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a .flv file. If it downloads the file as it should then move the .plist file to the Trash, otherwise move it back to the Preferences folder.
    If that didn't help, back to the Finder window, Home folder, Library / Safari. Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash. Restart Safari. Try again.
    And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Could be an Extension causing a conflict. If you have any installed, turn that off, relaunch Safari, try again.

  • 2nd Gen Apple TV & Network Storage

    Hello,
    I have been searching the forums and couldn't find anything that was related to my question, but I apologize if this question has been asked and answered many times before.
    My question is that I currently own a 2nd gen Apple TV and a entry model mid 2010 iMac 21.5". I live in Canada and our only option is to purchase TV episodes instead of renting which is perfectly fine, however I am running into a concern of filling up my HDD with season after season of my favorite TV shows. I was looking at buying a 'Western Digital MyBook World Edition II 2TB Network Storage Drive' to place on my network that is strictly for all my digital media from iTunes. I was wondering if iTunes on my iMac will be able to detect and play media as if it was still directly on my iMacs HDD, and if so will I be able to stream all my media to my Apple TV like I currently am able to. Will that work? If not what other solutions can I look at for storing my media and having it accessible for my Apple TV without having to load up my iMac HDD?
    I also already have a Time Capsule for my network but I want to dedicate the storage of that drive to personal and business documents and not all this media.
    Thanks for any answers and help!

    yes
    If that is the case then will my Apple TV still detect my computer and its iTunes and allow me to stream the files in the same manor?
    yes, however bear in mind that by having your media stored on a NAS, you are effectively doubling the amount of network data when playing content on the appletv.
    your new setup would essentially be -
    NAS > router > itunes > router > appletv.
    currently it is -
    itunes > router > appletv
    if you have a robust network you shouldn't see any difference, however if your network isn't the best (especially WIFI) then you could start to see issue when streaming.

  • 2nd gen apple tv not seeing entire iphoto library

    Here's something weird - anyone know why I can't see my entire iPhoto library on my 2nd gen. Apple TV?
    I have my entire library shared in iPhoto
    I have home sharing turned on in iTunes and am signed in using my Apple ID on the apple TV
    I see my whole iTunes library and am able to stream movies etc to Apple TV
    What's weird is only certain (two) events show up in the Photos section under "Computers"  but when I select computers/photos it says "my iTunes."  ALSO, when I go to iTunes/devices on my computer, I don't see my 2nd gen Apple TV listed - only my 1st gen Apple TV...
    Any ideas out there, Apple Gurus???
    Thanks!!!

    You select the photos that are shared to your Apple TV from the advanced menu in iTunes.
    Apple TV 2 is not intended to show up under the devices list in iTunes.

  • How can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)

    how can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)

    It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop.  And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure  what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

  • How can i wirelessly mirror my macbook pro display to my 2nd gen apple tv?

    Hello,
    I have a new macbook pro 13" and a 2nd Gen Apple TV.  I was wondering if there is an app or a way to wirelessly mirror my macbook pro display to theapple TV without using any HDMI cables/adapters?  Is this something thatcan be done in OSX Lion via Airplay?  I cant find anything about it so iam assuming not but it seems like its something that could easily be done.
    Thanks!

  • I have a 2010 MBP and a 2nd gen apple TV. How do I get them to mirror with Mavericks is possible at all?

    I  have a 2010 MacBook Pro and what I think is the 2nd Gen Apple TV( its the black one that does 720 not 1080p). I have recently installed Mavericks on my MBP, but I do not see the morrior option or any airplay option at all.
    Is this a limitation on my MBP due to age, is it the Apple TV, or am I just missing something do stupidly obvious I will be embarassed?
    Thank you for your time.

  • 2nd. gen Apple TV not connecting to wi-fi network

    Our 2nd. gen Apple TV has been working fine for years but suddenly (I suspect since the upgrade to software v. 6) it has trouble connecting to our wi-fi network, Whenever I turn it on, it says that "Apple TV can't connect to the network," even though when I look at the network settings, it shows the network and full signal strength. All of our other wireless devices work just fine with the network. Restarting it doesn't solve the problem, nor does uplugging it, or resetting it. The only thing that works is to reset the router (we use Time Capsule). Once we do that, everything works fine again. But then the next time we use it, it displays the same message when I turn it on and I have to go through the same steps all over. I don't really want to have to reset the router every time I want to use Apple TV.
    I am running 6.0.1 on Apple TV and have the latest update on Time Capsule. Any ideas on what the problem might be and how I might fix it?

    My problem solved itself. I think the problem was a conflict between my Apple TV and a printer on my network. For a completely unrelated reason, I had to remove the printer off the network. Once it was gone, Apple TV has been working fine. So, you may want to try removing other things from your network and see if that solves the problem. It was just a fluke that I figured it out.

  • Remote issues with 2nd gen Apple TV. (locking up)

    When using 2nd gen Apple TV with provided remote, I can only scroll through items or use on-screen keyboard for a few moments at a time, and then the remote seems to lock up. After a few seconds, I can move around again, but the cycle continues.
    I can type a few words with on-screen keyboard or scroll through a handful of items at a time before the remote seems to lock up and not allow me to move around.

    Try holding down menu and the left arrow for 6 seconds
