HI All,

On windows 7 go to control panel, windows firewall and make new rules for the attached.
For someone completely uncomputer friendly it make me feel like a computer nerd.....

it works by the way................................

TS2972 Home Sharing on Apple TV (2) drops out after about 2 minutes

Home Sharing on Apple TV (2) drops out after playing iTunes music and photos for about 3 minutes. iTunes says Home Sharing is on, but the only way to get it going again is to turn off Home Sharing and sign in again to Home Sharing when it will work for another 3 or 4 minutes maximum. This happens with both computers on the network. Have turned the firewall off but it makes no difference. Any suggestions please

Going to try a signal booster this all started with the TV upgrade. The only reason for the network booster is because iPhone 4 freezes in facebook once and a while. I am trying to solve this problem for my brother my system works with my airport and imac with no issues yet. All brand new.

Does apple tv still drop out

does apple tv still drop out of device list in itunes.

My router is N (Airport Extreme).
I have an update - Apple sent a replacement unit after the tech verified that my Apple TV was acting abnormally. I got it the next day, plugged it in and haven't had any issues whatsoever. I seemed to have a defective unit.

Why does my apple tv keep dropping out of home sharing.

why does my apple tv keep dropping out of home sharing.

I use homeplug powerline adapters to create my home Lan. I've never had any problem with my ATV 2.
This isn't ideal either, I would rather have shielded CAT7 cables reach all the way to my modem.
Either way, wired solutions are more reliable and have a higher potential speed as wireless uses pulsed electromagnetic radiation as a means for transportation in stead of copper or fiber optic cables
The World Health Organization's IARC has recently classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly level 2 carcinogenic to humans, concluding:
"the evidence, while still accumulating, is strong enough to support a conclusion and the 2B classification. The conclusion means that there could be some risk, and therefore we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk."

Apple TV Movie dropped out mid way through viewing. How do I restart

Apple TV Movie dropped out mid way through viewing. How do I restart

If you downloaded the movie you should not need internet. My internet is over 2MGB download and around 1MGB upload and it's working perfect. The problem is to watch any movie through the apple TV2. I tried connecting via Ethernet and nothing changed.

Apple Lossless hiccups/drop outs/pauses

Hi
Has anyone tried Apple Lossless files with the Shuffle 3G yet? Does it choke on them, i.e. hiccup/drop out/pause a few seconds into a song, like the Nano 3G did?
I'd like to know before buying, as this was a major irritation for me, and this is the first shuffle to supposedly support lossless.
TIA

Hi I'm wondering what you tried. I have a 3G Shuffle that "stutters" during playback for my Apple Lossless songs also.
I loaded them using sync "checked music" to select the playlist that would sync.
When I let iTunes drop the bit rate down to 128 AAC and sync the same selection of checked playlist there is no skipping. I have tried this on 2 different computer and using 2 different Shuffles. I get the same results consistently. The skips happen in the same songs every time. Lastly, it does not happen with every Apple Losses song.
The songs play back fine on the computers, my 1G Touch and my 120 GB Classic. I haven't tried this on any Nanos yet. But this feels specific to the Shuffle

Why does my Apple TV keep dropping out of my Wi-Fi Network?

I've only had the device for about 3 weeks and I've already returned one hoping it was a hardware issue but the new one is doing the same thing. I enter my Wi-Fi password and it will keep in for about 48 hours. Then when I go back to it I find that somehow it's kicked off and I have to manually re-enter the password and start all over. Very annoying and if I can't figure it out I will just return the device and live without it. I can watch Netflix on my Wii after all.
Anybody with similar issues or been able to fix the problem?

Apple TV airplay dropping out

Seems I'm not the only one experiencing this most frustrating problem.
When using my iPad mini (or iPad 2) to airplay a video it keeps dropping out. We are tearing our hair out. This is only a relatively recent problem and I suspect it is related to the ios7 update.
I have seen many solutions proposed on these forums eg. restarting the iPads (tried that), replacing the HDMI cable, changing router settings, replacing the router, etc. I've been hoping Apple will release a software update to overcome this issue before I rush out and spend my hard earned $$ on accessories to make this piece of junk work like it should.
Has anyone found a reliable, cost-effective solution yet?

People do generally come here for help, so yes, there are others here having issues.
AirPlay issues are network issues, troubleshoot the network. Power cycling the ATV and router are good places to start.

Apple TV and Drop Outs, Connection Issues

I use AppleTV to mirror my ipad 2. it's great. Love it Then I'll try it again and it may work but often the icon disappears. I then clear the password then re-enter it and that will bring it back or if that doesn't work I may have to shut down my ipad 2 at least once.
This happens almost every second or third time I try to use it.
I currently have an iphone 4s, ipad2, ipod touch and as someone has said before, this is the first time I've been deeply disappointed in an Apple product. I expect glitches every now and then but this continual drop out and connection issues I have is beyond the joke.
Does anyone have any solutions. Yes I have done all the updates, yes I am on the same network, yes airplay is turned on, yes home sharing is enabled.
As you can see I am peeved!

I too am having the same problem. I have a MB Pro running OS X 10.9.4 cannot see AirPlay option. Any solutions out there? Tried AirParrot but it is spotty at best.

Troubling connection with iTunes (I have to jiggle the cable), and my volume bar drops out very often.

Whenever I am syncing my iPhone 4 (with iOS 6.1.3) via cable with iTunes, I have to jiggle the cable to get it to connect with iTunes. Also, whenever I'm listening to any kind of sound, sometimes the sound just drops out and the volume bar disappears.
I asked an Apple tech in the store, and he told me to restore the phone and set up as new phone. I have done this with no success. Any suggestions

iPhone charging port is faulty or dirty. Clean charging port with clean toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

Apple Airport Express dropping out after song finishes.

I need some help finding out why my Airport Express sometimes drops out after a song has finished? Itunes has moved onto playing the next song but the sound is no longer playing through airtunes. If I pause and play the song it will come though the speakers again. This does not happen every time I use air turns but everynow and again.. Can anyone help me with this? I do have my Airport express set to get updates every week so Im sure I should have the latest updates.

Welcome to the discussions!
Tesserax discussed the reasons for this and possible improvement for this problem in a recent post. See the link below:

HT5622 Hi, For some reason my apple ID has dropped out. It is my email address but now it doesn't recognise it. I haven't used it for months as I haven't been able to access it. I have lots of music I purchased.

I cannot access my Itunes account as it rejects my I.D which is my email address. I just want to access my music and haven't bee able to for months. I have hundreds of dollars worth on there. Thanks Nicole

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Optus drop out issue

I note that there is at least one post on this topic - just looking for further input. When buying my iPhone 2 weeks ago I changed from Telstra (not 3G) to Optus 3G. Now my Optus signal seems to drop out very frequently - almost always when I "wake up" my phone but also during calls. Someone noted that if you change your phone to 2G it works better - but what do I lose functionally if I do this?

"what do I lose functionally if I do this?"
You lose the 3g data speeds when using the data network.

Bluetooth mouse & keyboard driver drop out

Having trouble with mighty mouse and apple bluetooth keyboard dropping out periodicaly, when using windows XP. Track pad & keyboard on MacBook still work ok. Window pops up saying USB device not connected. When looking in bluetooth devices in control panel the bluetooth drivers, keyboard and mouse are missing. After short period everything comes back again. It will do this randomly and not at any specific times, even when the computer is not being used.

Can anyone help???

Bluetooth mouse dropping out. . .

Finally it seems they fixed the wifi issue with safari.
Now it seems my apple bluetooth mouse drops out quite a lot.
Batteries showing above 75%.
Hmmmm.
Anyone else?

And you've all of the updates for 10.8.2? Strange - I've never had Bluetooth problems or issues... I know that there was a problem, early on, with wifi and Bluetooth on the Retina machines but, as far as I know, that has all been 'fixed' with updates... haven't heard of that problem in a long, long time.
I don't know what else to tell you to try - you might want to make an appointment at your local Apple STore and see if they can come up with a fix...
