Apple TV 2 slow to load imac itunes library

My Apple TV 2 is very slow when loading my imac itunes library after it has not been used for a few hours.  Closing and restarting itunes on my imac solves the problem but this is getting annoying.
late 2009 27" imac
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 (11B26)
itunes 10.4.1

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

  • Why won't my Apple TV load my iTunes library?

    My ATV 3 running ver. 5.2.1 attempts to load the iTunes library from my iMac for a minute or so, then fails.  It has identified the library by name on the network, so at least that's working.
    I'm using a new TimeCapsule-based WiFi network and all elements of this network are running ver. 7.6.3.  My iMac is running OSX 10.8.3 and iTunes was just updated today to 11.0.3 (although this problem was occuring before the update).
    In System Preferences>Energy Saver I have checked the option "Wake for network access," although this problem occurs when the iMac is both sleeping and awake.  iTunes is running and Home Sharing is on.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Can't load my iTunes library toatv2

    I have problem with ATV2, I can't load my itune library. I've tried almost everything, reset, turn off/on, etc. but still have problem. I can't load my itune library from macbook, and can't mirroring my iPad2 too.

    Did you upgrade to iTunes 10.5.2? I have just upgraded and am having the same problem. The info on the new iTunes version says to re-download your purchases as some may not play if they aren't on iTunes any more but that doesn't help me as I watch and play other content through my macbook air to apple tv that I haven't purchased through iTunes but use iT unes to stream wirelessly to my tv.
    Any thoughts on how else to play content on apple tv if iTunes won't load?

  • How can I download my iMac iTunes library to an external drive and reload the library to iTunes on a PC?

    How can I download my iMac iTunes library to an external drive and reload the library to iTunes on a PC?

    Hi Niel.  Can you be move specific for those of us not tech savy?   1 - Can you provide steps to back up the library?  2 - How do you organize the library?  3 - When you move the entire iTunes folder, does it include iTunes paid for music along with downloaded music from CDs?  Thanks

  • My Apple TV won't connect to my iTunes library on my windows pc home sharing is on and iTunes is open

    I can't get my Apple TV to connect to my windows pc to play music through my iTunes apple remote has a similar problem

    Thanks for the advice. Just had time to retest everything with the latest software and firmware versions. Even with Windows Firewall completely switched off my Apple TV can not connect to my iTunes library. The ironic thing is that my PC can no longer Airplay to my Apple TV after the latest updates, so things are actually getting worse ;-)
    I even restarted my router as some posts seemed to indicate this fixed similar issues for others but sadly not for me.
    I can at least still AirPlay from my iPad to my Apple TV, which is the main reason I bought the Apple TV, and the NetFlix client on the Apple TV is still one of the best as it supports captions.
    I have seen another post from another Win7 64bit user with similar problems so not sure if there is a solution out there yet.
    I also have some Samsung products and they can not interwork either so the grass is not greener on the other side ;-)

  • New IMAC itunes library differs from PC Itunes library

    Hi a little clueless but just got an imac.  I have an itunes library on my PC and all my music is on the cloud.  This syncs with my iphone and ipad.  Plugged in new imac followed logon procedure and used my itunes ID to register with Itunes.  Only the songs I have purchased are showing in my imac itunes library.  If I turn on home sharing when the PC is running I can see all the music and playlists.  I want to kill the PC and have everything from the IMAC.  So how do I get it to recognise all the music in my itunes library.  I did have I tunes match on and didn't renew the sub I feel this may have something to do with it?
    Any help as two nights of pulling teeth out now.
    Thanks

  • If i delete an app on my ipad to save up space, but have it at home on my itunes library on my imac, will it also be deleted from there when i sync my ipad back to my imac itunes library?

    If i delete an app on my ipad to save up space, but have it at home on my itunes library on my imac, will it also be deleted from there when i sync my ipad back to my imac itunes library?

    No. What's on your iMac is a backup and you can re-install (re-sync).

  • I've noticed that CDs I've loaded into iTunes library play back at 24/96.  Can these now be burned to a DVD without 3rd party software?

    I've noticed that CDs loaded into iTunes library play back at 24/96.  Can these now be burned to a DVD without 3rd party software?

    iTunes does not burn DVDs, so you will have to use third-party software regardless of the format of the tracks.

  • My New Apple TV is Slow to load TOO....Any Solution Yet?

    Hi Everyone,
    I can play every video on you tube wireless on my iMac in a split second. The same movie on Apple TV is SLOW!! Sometimes they don't even load and it goes into the screen saver mode. This has nothing to do with router or speed since I have one of the fastest connections and an airport extreme router. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
    GE

    It isn't just a case of the interface. As I understand things the you tube videos you watch on the tv are AVC files and those that you watch on the imac are not and whilst I can't be sure this is likely to mean they come from different servers.
    As I say others have reported issues with watching you tube on the tv and not on their macs, some have noted that the longer the video the more likely the issue.
    I myself have not seen this, but as you can see I am in an entirely different location to you (where the tv may not be quite as popular and the iphone has only just been released). Another consideration is whether you or your ISP are using proxy servers which may well explain such behaviour.

  • Can not load my itunes library on my apple tv2, after earliest update

    After a while I have notice that my itunes library can not be load on my home sharing apple tv it says that I have nothing available and I need to purchase content. I even have purchased songs and they does not appear.
    Where is the problem?
    I'm blaming last update I did on my mac, also may be an automated update on my apple tv.
    Hey Apple did you changed something to block our content or this is just an error / bug on your last update?.

    You are not speaking to apple, this is a user forum. My mac and ATV2 are up to date and I have no issues. There has been no automatic update.
    I would try rebooting ATV, toggling of/on Homesharing, checking the network.

  • OS 10.6.7 imac Itunes library can't be seen by imovie, iphoto or idvd though all can see iphotos. Apple tech had me reinstall imovie, iphoto and get the updates again and itunes library still not seen by rest of ilife '11 suite.

    I have tried everything I saw in the forums but can't make iLife '11 apps see itunes library.  Apple had me delete existing files for iphoto and imovie including the apps themselves and reinstall from the disks that came with my imac last month.  This did not work.  Itunes Library still not found by any of the iLife apps though they can see iphoto movies and photos.  Is this really the way it is or is there a solution?   I tried to install iLife Support 904 but it wouldn't install past the selection of install location; at that point the install button was grayed out.  Update Software insists all software is up to date.  Please help if you know the answer. 

    I have the exact same issue.  Apple also directed me to do the same tasks... didn't correct the issue.  We can not be the only ones with this issue.I can't add music from iTunes to any slideshows, iDVD's or anything.  I have rebuilt my itunes Library as directed by Apple... no progress.
