Apple TV 6.0.2 Airplay, homesharing, wifi troubles
After updating to the latest Apple TV 2013 software update (version 6.0.2) my apple TV WIFI is wrecked.
Netflix, youtube, homesharing, airplay... they all stopped working decently. Lagging or not working at all.
I have done a factory reset connected to my mac. I have done a router reset. I hav been busy for 3 hours, tried everything but my Apple TV seems worthless.
Is there a possibility to go back to the 6.0.1 version?
Is someone in Cupertino reading this and planning a quick update? I don't like my little black box being bricked by this 'update'
Mine worked just fine until this latest update. Now nothing but problems , unreliable to say the least. Sometimes loses sound , sometimes doesn't connect altogether. Reboots, restores , modems and router reboots, I have tried it all. It will work for awhile, then act up again. It is the Apple TV itself after the update. I have tried with several iPhones and iPads all with the same results. Also, my home theater receiver is airplay compatible and it works just fine through my receiver , but not the Apple TV.
APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS....

How to create adhoc Wifi Hotspot with iPhone to connect Apple TV for Mirroring and Airplay?
I don't want to use my iPhone to share or tether my iPad or laptop etc. with my cellular data plan.
What I want is to create a hotspot with my iPhone (or iPad) so that I may connect my Apple TV to the adhoc network so I am able to stream video and music from my iPhone to the Apple TV.
I do presentations in front of live audiences and want the ability to mirror my iPad or use Airplay to stream video and photos to the Apple TV without connecting to a public WiFi network.
The apple TV is so small, I just tuck it into my bag with an HDMI cable and I am able to tap into LCD projectors and flat screens and use keynote or video from my iPad so my audiences can see my presentations.
Seems pretty simple. But I cannot activate a hot spot on my iPhone without signing up for AT&T's service. Fact is, I have no need to tether my iPhone or iPad, I just want to create an adhoc Wifi network solely for the use of my Apple TV.
I posted this question to the iPhone discussions as well, but thought someone here has wanted to do the same thing.
Someone suggested just bringing any WiFi router and connecting devices to that. But that's not a solution. It's about mobility and simplicity and not creating a larger footprint.
Thoughts?I am a presenter and I do what you want to do. I use an apple tv as the presentation device that connects to the projector. The thing that makes it all work together is the Apple Airport Express $99 and looks just like the APple TV but white: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC414LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg
Basically you define a wireless network ahead of time (using your iPad or iPhone and the Airport Config App) and let your iDevices connect to it and know the details ahead of time (so they will auto connect later).
You have a couple of options of connecting the airport express to the apple tv. I basically stacked them and used an ethernet cable but you can define the wireless connection also. I then strapped them to the projector (which I travel with) and used an HDMI cable from the apple TV to the projector.
Sometimes I present from my iPad...sometimes I present from my iPhone. Sometimes I present from my iPad but use the remote app on the iPhone to see the next screen. Now with Mountain Lion you could even present with a Macbook Pro (not needed though)
Wanna hear the coolest thing? When I want to demo something on the iPad instead of just showing the screen remotely using Airplay I use an App on the iPhone called Air Camera directed down at my iPad screen. The Air Camera sends the video to the Apple TV using Airplay and people are able to see my taps by seeing my fingers.
Another cool thing in a classroom setting with other iPads you are able to let people know your Wifi password and then display their iPad screen up on a projector to ask a question about something or demo something.
So for the extra $99 dolars for the Airport Express and a few minutes setting it up, wammo you have it!
One last note. If you actually do have wired internet at the podium you can connect it to the WAN port of the Airport express and all your iDevices would in addition have internet access. If you need internet access for all the devices and you are presenting in a place without internet then you have to bring a wireless hotspot in place of the airport express. This works equally well (again just setup the connection from the iDevices to the wireless hotspot ahead of time)
Have fun and good luck! -
can I have two apple TV boxes in the same home / wifi area, are there any issues i should be aware of?
I was in a hotel a few month a ago. The hotel also had a portal page you have to sign in. Of course the ATV didn't a web browser and could not sign in to the portal and connect to the Internet, so your iTunes didn't work. (But your ATV should be connected to the router at that point already, just the portal won't open the port to pass through your ATV's traffic)
So what I did was to use AirVideo app on my iPad and AirVideo server on my Mac. Selected the movie on my iPad using the AirVideo app and then selected my AirPlay device on my iPad to AppleTV. Because this setup didn't require iTunes, so there was no need for a live Internet connection, and just a connection to the hotel router was enough. It was very easy.
(Of course, you can subsititude the iPad with an iPhone here too) -
I am confused about AirPlay vs Wifi.
Example,
I have an iPhone 5, an Apple TV connected to my HDTV, and both of them (iPhone 5 and Apple TV) are connected to my home wifi network.
Now, I understand that I can mirror or stream my iPhone 5 contents (such as video, pictures, music, etc.) to my Apple TV and watch them on my HDTV.
Now, who does the job of mirroring from my iPhone 5 to my HDTV? The AirPlay? The Apple TV? The Wifi? Or all of them? Can a simple video streaming, can be done just with wifi without using the AirPlay?
Can you please give me some examples?
Thank youuuuuuAirPlay is the application protocol that allows music and video to be streamed over your IP network (LAN). It doesn't know or care whether the data is going over WiFi, Cat5 wire, or whatever, as long as there's a sender and a receiver.
In this case your iPhone (the sender) detects your AppleTV (the receiver) and allows you to mirror video or play audio to it. The streamed data is carried over WiFi from your iPhone to your WiFi bridge or router, and from there to the AppleTV via its WiFi or wired LAN connection. The AppleTV receives the streamed data and renders it as HDTV video and/or digital audio. -
I recently started my apple I'd account and used my wife's bank card for payment info. I then loaded $75 from iTunes gift cards on the account. I was able to make in app purchases, now its telling me to contact iTunes Store support to complete now? Help

While I have a few ideas, I think you'd have better luck troubleshooting this in the iCloud forum.

would you get a better picture on apple tv is you used airplay on an ipad mini with retina display as opposed to a standard ipad mini?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
It won't make any difference. -
We had a power outage during the hurricane and I haven't been able to stream music to my Airport base station since - not from my computer, phone or iPad. I CAN stream from them to my Apple TV. It appears that my wifi signal goes out after hitting Play in iTunes or using the Apple Remote app. I can also send things to my printer attached to the same Airport base station so I think the Airport is OK.
I recently started having the same type of issue with my 3GS and our home wireless router. All other devices in my house were not having any issues. They include a MacBook, a MacBookPro and a wireless printer. We have 2 iPhone 3GS both running iOS 4.3. This problem seems to have started over the last few months, but not exactly sure when. I tried to do some research, but have yet to find an answer. Yesterday, I finally login into the router and change the encryption algorithm from TKIP + AES to just AES. I only have two choices on my verizon router. I am still testing this changes, but it seems promising so far.
This thread mentions something about an issue with the TKIP. Has anyone else been able to find information backing that up? From what I read, AES is better than TKIP so if the AES continues to work, then I guess my problem is solved? -
HT204400 Apple TV unable to connect to the WiFi Router solution.
Having found my new Apple TV unable to connect to my WiFi Router I discovered a technique which may be useful to others. Use your mobile phone as a mobile hotspot instead. I hope this helps other people with a similar connectivity issue.
Hi, i do have a similar situation. Everytime I try to synchronise itunes with my ATV (also version 2.3), it synchronise between 4 and 10 songs and then automatically disconnect the wireless connection on my computer (my ibook and other notebook stays connected at the same time). regards, Erik

You need to upgrade your OS. It's your responsibility to verify if your equipment meets the system requirements, not the Apple Store.

The Apple time capsule provides disc memory, a wifi network, and router functions. It would normally be connected to the internet via cable modem. If I wanted to use a wireless cellular connection to the internet, how would I do that?

The wireless cellular device would need to have an Ethernet port, to provide an Ethernet signal to the Time Capsule's WAN port. -
