Apple tv 2 and problems streaming music only

i can stream video and photos with no problems from my ipad to apple tv, but when it comes to music i wil get a beat or two and then nothing for a few seconds then another beat or two. Both units are up to date i tried power both of then back on. i also checked the wifi conections and security setings on network and still nothing. any ideas???

This morning tried to play video I bought yesterday (Alan Jackson), it still plays (great) but the rest do not so I went into Settings, General, iTunes Store (turned OFF iTunes Match) then went to iCloud (waited for it to update) selected Music Videos, and some played only tried a couple (hooray) but others didnt, why?? Now I just went back to Settings, iTunes Store and turned ON iTunes Match (waited for it to update) and the video that played does not play now but the music video I bought yesterday still plays! Now I went into the iTunes Store changed the Video Resolution to Standard Definition (no difference) for slow connection (just to see but I have high speed Time Warner). I am at a loss....

In apple tv settings - AirPlay is on and so is home sharing
In my computer iTunes - home sharing is on

I get this problem every day or two when trying to connect my ATV 2 running 5.1.1 to iTunes 11.0.1 on an iMac running OS X 10.8.2 (though it started happening with earlier releases of both ATV software and iTunes. I think it started happening regularly following the installation of the ATV 5.0 software, with I think iTunes 10.6 or thereabouts.) They're connected over WiFi via an Airport Extreme basestation.
The TV simply shows a black screen with:
'Could not connect to "<iTunes library name>"'. 'Make sure the computer is on the same network as your Apple TV , the iTunes version is up to date, and iTunes is running.'
I've found the way to fix this problem when it happens is to restart the Apple TV (Settings>General>Restart). This always seems to correct it and allows me to connect to iTunes successfully once again, but the problem always returns sooner or later and I've not been able to determine what triggers it exactly. It seems to happen more often if the iMac running iTunes has been put to sleep with iTunes running and subsequently woken, but it also happens sometimes when I wake ATV and try to connect it to a freshly booted iMac and newly launched iTunes.
I keep hoping a new release of ATV software will fix it but neither 5.1 nor 5.1.1 made any noticable difference and neither have newer releases of iTunes.

I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery

I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery... or just buy a galaxy s5?

If you dropped it in water, and then plugged it in, you may very well have destroyed the battery and/or the logic board. Charging/plugging in to a power source is very damaging to wet electronic devices. There is not much you can do but replace the entire iPhone...and since you did repairs yourself Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement.
You can try replacing the battery, the lightning port is another issue, but I would not expect that iPhone to work again.

no airplay support is required

My on off button on my iPhone isn't working and it has been for several months but i went to the apple store today and the warranty was only 16 days over is it possible to get it fixed for free

If the genius at the Apple Store did not offer repair under warranty then NO
12 months is 12months asume you did not have AppleCare

Problem streaming sound only to Apple TV

Apple TV with the latest software of of Nov 23
Macbook Pro with Retina Display running 10.10.1
- I can see my itunes lib through home sharing and is able to play movies, see photos without any issue.
- I can mirror my desktop using airplay and play movies and music without any issues.
The issue comes when I try to stream sound only on to Apple TV. I have the ATV connected to my audio player and stream Spotify. The sound is choppy and broken. Going against my instinct I purchased a new router (Asus RT-AC68U) which obviously was not the issue since airplay was working on when I mirror my desktop.
After a couple of hours with apple support, I saw on the forum that some people has issues with bluetooth. I TRIED TURNING OFF BLUETOOTH AND IT FIXED THE SOUND STREAMING TO ATV. I have an apple blue tooth mouse.
I tried both shortcuts, from preferences - sound - output and Apple TV and using Option + Sound Icon to select Apple TV instead of internal speakers. Both have the same problem.
I hope its a software issue rather than a hardware one and it can be updated soon.

A Follow up on this issue , bluetooth also stops AirPlay from working reliably.

Using Airport Express for wireless printing and possibly streaming music

I have had the toughest time figuring out this Airport Express. It seems there are so many different ways to set it up. I've tried to read forums but just can't seem to wrap my head around what I need to do. I tried awhile back to join my network wirelessly but was having problems.
I don't really care about extending my current network. My internet service is through Verizon Fios and the router they provided works just fine and don't have any issues with connecting anywhere in the house. I bought the AE to be able to print wirelessly and stream music from my iMac in another room.
So to print wirelessly obviously the printer has to be plugged in to the AE, but does the AE have to be plugged into my router? Or can I have the AE anywhere in the house wherever the printer is? When I print, am I using my existing network or do I have to disconnect a computer from the wireless network and access a 2nd network to be able to print?
My first priority is to print wirelessly. If I can get it to work It'd be cool to stream music from my iMac. Obviously the AE needs to be where the speakers are, but again, does the AE have to plugged in to the router? And again, is this done through my existing network? Or do I have to stream music through a 2nd network? I apologize if i'm asking the same questions that have been asked in previous forums, I just haven't been successful thus far so wanted to see what response or tips I could get. Thanks.
My existing network has "WPA Personal" security set up on it if you need to know that.

but does the AE have to be plugged into my router? Or can I have the AE anywhere in the house wherever the printer is?
If you configure the Express correctly to "join" your FIOS wireless network, you can position it anywhere that it will receive a good, strong wireless signal.
The trick to setting the Express up to "join" is that you must choose exactly the same type of security for the Express as your main router is using. This is tricky when you are using devices from two different manufacturers because they often use different names for the same thing.
For example, when you say that the FIOS is setup to WPA Personal, we really need more information. There's usually a TKIP or AES associated with WPA. You have two choices on the Express for WPA settings, WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal. We can only guess which one might be the correct match for your FIOS network and if you don't choose the right setting, the Express cannot join the network and you have to start the configuration all over again from scratch and try the other setting.
Does your Fios have a setting for WPA2 Personal? Some manufacturers label this WPA2-PSK (AES). Or, maybe you find that your FIOS is using WPA-PSK (TKIP), which is the same thing as Apple WPA/WPA2 Personal. It's confusing. That's why we tell users to choose wireless gear from the same manufacturer. It's much easier when two devices talk the same language.
When I print, am I using my existing network or do I have to disconnect a computer from the wireless network and access a 2nd network to be able to print?
If you have a compatible printer plugged into the USB port on the AirPort Express and have "installed" the printer by setting it up, you will be able to print over your existing wireless network.
First things first. You need to get the Express setup to "join" correctly and get a green light. Then, tackle the printer setup.

Problems streaming music to Airport Express via Airtunes in Mountain Lion

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have been encountering some strange behavior regarding my ability to stream music to speakers connected to my network via Airport Expresses. Initially, the speakers appear in iTunes, and I can select them and stream music to them perfectly. Eventually, however, they no longer stream music and appear unselected in iTunes. When I try to select them again, I cannot. After clicking on them, they appear connected for a few milliseconds before disconnecting again. I have found that restarting my computer resolves this problem.
I believe this is a Mountain Lion issue because, even when I can no longer select the speakers, I can still stream music to these speakers from both my iPhone and my iPad.
I also have a set of Airplay enabled speakers (Zeppelin Air) and I can stream to these speakers even when the Airport Express ones are not functioning. I interpret this to mean that my computer, iTunes, and my router are all capable of streaming music.
I had hoped that iTunes 11 would fix this issue, but it hasn't. I have found posts to simiar problems on these forums, but they often involve receiving various error messages from iTunes. I never receive any error messages, streaming to the speakers just stops and cannot be restarted. Streaming worked perfectly in Snow Leopard and for the brief time I had Lion. I find needing to restart my computer repeatedly to be a rather inelegant solution to this problem. Any insight is appreciated.

What's also strange, is that if I log onto another user on the same computer, the streaming works fine. That means that the problem lies within my user account, doesn't it?
Are there any preference files that I can safely delete within my user library to reset any preferences that are ****** up?
Also, I don't know if it might have something to do with it, but I'm running Little Snitch. Don't see that there are any rules I've set up that might interfere with AirTunes, though!

Apple TV lags/cuts when streaming music through AirPlay

The sensation of putting on your favourite song and having to stop the digging because of the connection (i guess) between my ATV and my MacBook Pro cuts every 10th second.
Streaming video is no issue.
Im currently streaming music from Spotify and cant get my head around this. Using my iPad works flawlessly.
I got a MacBook Pro 13" Retina and a 3rd gen ATV, no probs with my network. All latest updates.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    1.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    2.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    3.    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    4.    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
    5.    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

Problem streaming music from iPhone to airport express

Hi
I use a Airport express connected to my stereo to stream music from my iMac and iPhone. It works brilliantly and seamisily from my iMac but when i try to listen to music from my iPhone it connects up but then plays the music but it keeps dropping out and you hear the music but it seams to keep loosing the connection.
the imac and iPhone are connected to the same wifi network as the airport express. If i lay the iphone near the wifi router it still drops the signal and drops the connection to the airport express
ive got an iPhone 4s running Iso 5 and lion on my Mac
just a note ive had this problem with my previous iPhone 3gs running the old iso and the new iso 5 when i updated it the other month
I have also updated the Firmware on the airport express
any suggestions or solutions would be greatuly recieved.
Thanks in advance

thanks for your replies.
It's because I have one router for internet (that I share with my neighbors) and another with my Airport Express hooked to it.
But I would like to stream my music when I go to my friends.
I'll write to Apple

I am having problems streaming music to my apple tv (1st and 2nd gen). The music cuts in an out after a while of playing. Any suggestions?

I have a first gen apple tv and it works as advertised except for the streaming of music which would cut out/on/out...... I decided to buy a aptv2 and have the same issue. I have tried using different wireless setups, ipod, iphone and laptop and the same issue happens. Any suggestions?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Problem streaming music with New Apple TV- Anyone else?

I am new to Apple TV. I have been using a Sony BDP580 (DLNA) to stream my FLAC digital music via a wired LAN. It works flawlessly. I just got the new Apple TV for streaming. I set it up and home shared with my Itunes library containing AIFF digital music via same wired LAN. It sees everything but each time I start a song, it plays for about 35 seconds and then starts studdering and hestitates, finally stopping altogether and displays an error message saying, "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later." This happens everytime, with any song I select.
I assumed this was a buffering problem, so I tried same songs again but this time paused them immediately after starting the song. If I paused for 15-20 seconds, I got about 2.5-3 minutes of music before it did it's studdering thing and stopped altogether. If I paused for 90 seconds or so, I could get thru an entire 10 minute song. Seems to confirm a buffering problem.
I have not tried streaming MP3's yet but that is not my intention.
I realize that the software is new but this is basically unuseable as it currently functions. I am considering trying to return the the Apple TV. Are there similiar kinds of problems when new Apple TV software is released? If so, is Apple quick with fixes and updates?
By the way, I also got a new IPAD and love it.

I have an older PC with Windows XP Professional on it. I updated to the latest iTunes and I am able to access the photos, etc. on it. However, my Windows 7 PC still does work (since last Apple TV update). Apple TV does not recognize that Home Sharing is turned here. The latter PC has all my current photos on it which I would like share with others on my Apple TV. A fix would be appreciated.

Problem streaming music from Iphone through Apple TV2 to receiver

I have an apple TV connected via Audio Optical cable to my receiver. When I play movies from my Iphone, the sound is fine. But when I want to play music, no sound is coming out. I start the music then select Apple TV as output but still nothing.

Too whom it may interest, I found the cure. I unpluged the Apple TV2 from power and repluged it after 5 minutes and rebooted my Iphone 4. Problem solved.

Problem streaming music from the icloud to iphone whilst driving

I thought it was a great idea to purchase itunes match and have all my music in the cloud not taking up memory in the iphone - which i stream via bluetooth whist driving. However, the problem now appears to be the amount of 3g signal available when driving fluctuating so much causing the music to stop dead in its tracks in certain areas. Am I doing something wrong? I am surprised that there is no buffer option - or is there?

Too whom it may interest, I found the cure. I unpluged the Apple TV2 from power and repluged it after 5 minutes and rebooted my Iphone 4. Problem solved.

Apple TV second gen Problems streaming

Hi
I have a second generation Apple tv and we frequently have problems with streaming content whether
it is HBO GO or Amazon prime. We are up to date with our updates. Could this be a problem
because we have a second generation product? Please advise.
Bella

Well, having read the app, it does indeed say that it will work with AirPlay (many have said this isn't possible, I just took it as read they were correct).
No I don't think it's anything to do with it being an older Apple TV, if you are having problems using AirPlay, you most likely have a problem with your wifi network.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.
