Airplay from phone to ATV keeps cutting out.

When using my ATV and airplay from iPhone 4s the audio keeps cutting out then will play agian. This will happen every 5-20 seconds. I am able to use airplay from my MBP without any issues. I have restarted the iPhone and ATV. I have closed all aps on the phone and tried both streaming and music apps with the same result. All items have the most recent updates. I have an airport express in my shop which there is no issue using airplay form the phone with any aiplay app. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Try changing your energy saver settings.   Make sure the macbook is plugged in and change both display and computer sleep to never.  When your display goes to sleep airplay will shut off.  I don't watch a lot of tv on airplay from my mac, but this works for when I'm streaming radio or music.  I suggest getting a cheap iPod touch (with airplay) on craigslist if you don't have an iPhone.  I've seen them as low as $30.  Then get the Air Video app ($3) and the Remote app (free).  These two apps take care of all of my tv/movie watching needs. 
If your appleTV is too far from your wireless router then you will have trouble using any of these features.  Try purchasing an extra long (100') cat5 cable from monoprice.com and moving your router to a more central area of your house.  You can even put a second router in your home using this cat5 and get great internet connection everywhere!

  • Zeppelin airplay from windows iTunes 12.1 cuts out

    ok, this problem is driving me nuts. I have a stream URL setup in iTunes 12 on Windows 7. I also have a B&W Zeppelin AirPlay speaker (up to date firmware). I can airplay from iTunes to the speakers. Sometimes (not all the time) the stream play just stops with no error. The indicator goes from the Pause button to the Play button. So, I run some tests....
    Change iTunes speakers to local. Cut out does not happen.
    Reboot router - cut out continues
    Run the same stream from my iPad to B&W - no cut outs!
    This leads me to believe it is not the stream itself. It is not iTunes or Windows alone and it is not the network or AirPlay.
    Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Any help appreciated...

    Try Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support.
    And if that doesn't work go for a full tear down and rebuild as follows...
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • New iphone 4s speaker keeps cutting out on calls and have to put it on external speaker, this is happening to others I have called today with the same phone. Is there a fix?

    My wife has a new 4s and quite often her phone speaker cuts out during a call and she has to put it on speakerphone. Telus tech support tells me this is a known issue yet there doesn't seem to be an update to the phone available in itunes yet. So far today we have talked to two other people who live in our area with the same phone and same issue. One went so far as to buy a jawbone for $150 to work around it not knowing it was a software issue. Is this a software fix or do we need to do a hardware swap? Is there a fix out or on the way?

    My gf was having the same issues and also with a big echo every time I called her either from my 4S or even fron a land line as per other comments here. They told he to take it into the Apple store and they reset the software and now it's working fine.....so far.
    Now today my bluetooth earpiece has decided to stop working for some unknown reason and then the last person that called me said my phone keep cutting out. I don't know whether that was because I had to turn off my bluetooth to answer the phone or what.
    I suspect Apple will be sending out an update to fix some of these reported issues but in the meantime the local Apple store seems to be the only option. Just hoping I don't have to take that option as that would require a huge inconvenience for me as neither of the two stores in the Vanvouver area are remotely close to me.
    Good luck.

  • I phone keep cutting out

    why dose my iphone keep cutting out in mid conversation ? somebody tell me before its launched

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue is still not resolved, and it's not a network/carrier issue, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Why does my airport express keep cutting out?

    Why does my airport express keep cutting out?

    I have a 1st gen Airport Express and use it to stream music from my PC, iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch. My Airport Express is connected to a Teac UD-H01 DAC via an optical cable which is connected to an amp and speakers. I had no problems at all with this set up until I upgraded the Airport Express firmware to 7.6.3. The sound then started to drop out frequently. To cut a long story short after various testing, the problem had to be the Airport Express. I called Apple support but they were not much help and couldn't fix the problem and said they would speak to engineering and phone back. While I was waiting I decided to have another go to find the problem and opened the airport utility and saw that there was an option to downgrade the firmware. At this point I realised that the problems started about the same time that I upgraded the firmware to 7.6.3 but didn't think at the time that Apple would release a firmware that didn't work. Anyway I downgraded to 7.6.1 and hey presto, everything worked again. A couple of days ago I noticed that firmware 7.6.4 was available and thought I'd give it a go, not good - same problem as 7.6.3. I've downgraded to 7.6.1 again and all is well. Hope this helps.

  • Iphone 5 keeps cutting out when still got charge init

    CCan somebody help me my iPhone 5 keeps cutting out when still got charge left in it it is two years old also lose signal a lot help please

    Depending on the age of the phone and its usage, this could be battery issue and your battery might have to be replaced. If the phone is still charging with your fathers USB cable, make sure it is charged for at least 15min, then try to connect in recovery mode, explained here:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If this does not work, you'll have to get it checked out by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place or by contacting Apple directly: Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

  • My screen keeps cutting out

    My screen keeps cutting out and is very temperamental with at what angle the screen has to be at??

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Audio keeps cutting OUT !!

    Hi All
    I've just recently started having problems with the audio signal from my MP, all applications like iTunes and listening to streamed radio online. I'm using a 828 Mk1 firewire audio interface and the audio keeps cutting out for a 2-5 seconds frequently. I'm using the 1.4.7 motu driver, clock source is Internal. There doesn't seem to be a problem if I use the Macs internal speakers. Its been working fine since I got this machine a few months ago but all of a sudden this problem has occurred !
    Anybody have any ideas to what is happening here ??
    Many Thanks

    hi MacMac,
    i did reply on your other thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7189792#7189792
    i had a fiddle with sample rate settings, both on teh motu itself, and in the midi utility ,and installed the 1.4.7 driver, and mine seems to be sorted as of today too.
    weird, huh?

  • Bose sound link keeps cutting out when streaming

    this is applying for all my devises every time i want to streame to my bose sound link system it keeps cutting out could this be a rooter problem?

    The Bose Sound Link uses bluetooth technology to communicate with your devices, therefore the router has nothing to do with your problem. Try moving the devices closer to the Sound Link and see if that helps.
    Also, human bodies can block the bluetooth signal so make sure your iDevice and the Sound Link are out of the way from where people can walk between them.

  • My iphone keeps cutting out when i ring people and people cant hear me when i speak what could it be?

    when i ring people my iphone keeps cutting out, it connects but i can hear them talking but they cant hear me talking :s

    Hey Ciara,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that you are having issues with others being able to hear you while on calls, the issue seems to be resolved by using speakerphone. This makes sense, as speakerphone utilizes a different microphone. I would advise you to take a look at the following articles:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    iPhone: Sound muffled or low from the speaker or when speaking into the mic

  • External speakers keep cutting out

    Using Harman Kardon sound stick USB speakers on my mac book and they keep cutting out after about 1:08 of use.  It happens with all audio sources (itunes, online streaming etc.) and works immediately if I unplug and re-insert into the USB port. 
    On the sound settings, the "USB Sticks" stays highlighted as the source.  The internal speakers do not come on when the sound stick speakers cut out, but do so when I unplug them from the USB port. 
    This problem just started out of the blue after years of flawless use, no software updates.  Happens on both of my USB ports.  Tried re-starting, didn't help.
    So frustrated. 

    I think that the manufacturer is your best source. Perhaps there is some incompatibility.....

  • Why does my iPad keep cutting out?

    Why des my iPad keep cutting out? I can be using an app or surfing the net, and it cuts out an reverts to homepage.

    Try closing all apps completely and then do a reset and see if that helps. To close all apps : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    To reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If you are on iOS 5 then you could also try turning off iCloud and multitasking gestures on the iPad.
