Apple TV Drops out after 5 minutes

Hi,
Just got a 3rd Gen ATV and connecting through BT Infinity with a Home Hub 3 in the UK - when playing music, appears to be ok. When watching downloaded programmes from the MAC - it plays for about 5 minutes and then drops the connection to Home Sharing back to the main menu. I then reselect the programme within ATV and it plays fine for the whole duration without drop out.
When trying to watch a recent iTunes festival concert - the same thing happens, it drops out after about 5 minutes streaming but t

I've had the same issue since upgrading to latest iOS 5.1 on appletv and latest patches on mountain lion mine usually drops out after a minute

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • HT1695 I have an iPhone5, when at home I can connect to my bt WiFi but it drops out after a few seconds, I Amon iOS 6.0.1

    I Have an iPhone5 so has my wife, when we connect to Wifi, any wifi, home work or anywhere, it drops out after about 10 seconds, any ideas welcome

    I have three suggestions for you (try them in order):
    Go to Settings on your iPhone 5, General, Reset (all the way at the bottom), and try "Reset Network Settings".
    Turn off your router and modem, wait about 5-10 minutes, then turn on your modem and router respectively.
    Call Apple Support. Chances are they'll be able to give you the best support since they know their phone and the problems they've been called about prior to yours. Make sure you have some of your router information ready for them when the time comes.

  • Just got my ATV2 and the stream from my win 7 Itunes library drops out after 30min or when changing movies.

    just got my ATV2 and the stream from my win 7 Itunes library drops out after 30min of when changing movies. I have to turn off and turn on home share to stream again. Should i return all my apple products and go android instead....help, I want it to work. My firewall is off, ATV2 is running on ethernet and library is on wireless. My ps3 streams just fine over the network, I assume Itunes is at fault?

    Please any one who comes across this and shares in my fustrations please click below and lodge a complaint. There is no solution to the dropouts until apple sorts it...Lets get the message across loud and clear

  • WIFI DROPS OUT AFTER MOUNTAIN LION UPDATE

    Since upgrade to mountain lion my wifi keeps dropping out after sleep i have ipad and that is ok.

    Had the same problem and this worked for me:
    Try deleting following two items:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.db
    Make sure you take a screenshot of your current dock since deleting these files will reset your dock to default.
    Now open terminal and do a sudo reboot w/ your password.
    This solved the problem for me.

  • Audio Drops Out After 30 Seconds

    I have just installed Premiere Elements 12 on a new Toshiba with Intel i5 and windows 8. When I play a viedo through Elements the audio drops out after 30 seconds. When I play the same viedo through Windows audio does not drop out. I have an older HP with Intel i3 and Windows 7 running Premiere Elements 10 and I do not have any issues with the audio dropping out. This is the first time I have used this forum so I hopr I'm doing this properly. Thank you, Bob.

    With a slower machine like that, it's possible you haven't given the program time to fully conform the audio and video in your file.
    Clear the file from your Project Assets and re-add it to your project. Watch the progress along the bottom of the program and wait until it has completed its conforming before you start editing.

  • S20 Lan Network drops out after Windows 10 upgrade

    Upgrade went ok and everything seems to work ok, but the network drops out after some downloads. Adapter gets disabled and cannot be enabled unless i perform a reboot. The network adapter is a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet. Installed the latest Lenovo System Update but that did not find any new drivers.

    The network speed went down from approx 50 Mbps to 1.8 Mbps after the upgrade! So it is surely a network driver problem.

  • Apple TV2 Home Sharing Drop Out after 25mins of playback

    iTunes: 10.5
    Mac 10.6.8
    Apple TV2 - 4.4.2
    Home Sharing a Libary
    Everything wired ethernet
    After I watch a movie - let's say Dark Knight from the shared itunes Libary using Home Sharing at about 25 minutes the movie will stop and the Apple TV goes back to the main menu screen. I can then browse to the shared library under computers and start watching it again. After about 25 minutes or so it will do the drop back to the menus.
    What gives? Until the 4.4.2 update I could watch anything for hours. It is also dropping back to the main menus when playing songs after 3-4 songs.
    I've restarted all the network and t

    I too upgraded to all the latest software (iTunes 10.2.1, iOS 4.2 on my Apple TV2) and am now experiencing drop-outs on home sharing every 10 minutes or so.
    I can force Apple TV to re-recognise iTunes by quitting iTunes and then reloading. I have however noticed that my iTunes library will intermittently return to the Apple TV "Computers" menu.
    Unlike others who have fixed the problem by merely disconnecting a wired ethernet link, I am running over wireless ('N' exclusively - is this anything to do with the problem??) This problem is quite irritating since my Apple TV/iTunes worked pretty well before the recent upgrades ...

  • Broadband drops out after bt upgrade work in area

    Hope someone can help because the call centre is helpful but unfortunetly the help they give me is what I have tried before.
    On Wednesday 17th August I received an ewmail from the BT Migration team stating that upgrade work would be taking place at my local exchange and that my phone and broadband would be out for 10 minutes on this day. The work got carried out and I received a email saying this and that my broadband would take about ten days to settle down.
    Now we are about 2 months since this wok and my once reliable broadband (have hardly ever had to restart the box in the past nearly 10 years) is dropping everyday and if I do restart the box I either get on to the internet then it drops out again or I don't, getting frustrated for paying for something I can't use.
    My HomeHub the original white model, only shows a solid broadband icon and flashing wireless and sometimes flashing data icon on the front of it but no internet.
    I have tried using the bt broadband desktop help but it says my line is okay and I have checked all the microfilters that are attached and everything seems fine there. Phone the number at the end of the desktop help wizard and get told to try the same thing it suggests.
    I have read on this forum that some other bt customers have had similar problems after upgrades and it turned out to be the homehub that was at fault.
    Can anyone give me any advice in sorting this please or can anyone confirm that it is the homehu bthe issue is with and if so how to get a free replacement from bt.
    Solved!

    Hi Andy81,
    Welcome to the forums.  Yes you would be correct in the fact that the White Home Hub doesn't have the best reputation on ADSL2+ lines simply because of its age.  I would advise you to contact the mods, you can do that by following this link: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951 and ask for a replacement hub, although you would have to pay if you are out of contract.  Do you know if you're out of contract?

  • 3G connection keeps dropping out after 4.2.1 update

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone could help me.
    I have the iPhone 4, and it was working perfectly... until I upgraded to iOS 4.2.1.
    Ever since then, my 3G connection keeps dropping out, and I'm just left with vodafone UK (with usually 3-4 bar signal) but no 'o', 'E' or '3G' symbol.
    After about 20 minutes of no cellular data, I'd get the 'o' symbol, then 10 seconds later it would change to '3G'. But then after 5 seconds it would lose it. The cycle would continue in this way.
    Strangely, when at home, the 3G would stay connected. But when I go anywhere, I lose 3G.
    When I turn 3G off, I get constant 'o' connection where ever I go. It doesn't drop out.
    I've tried resetting the phone, and resetting network settings.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I'm having a similar issue with my new iPhone 4 (w/ 4.2.1)... It continually cycles through the following sequence:
    AT&T / 3G
    AT&T / No Data
    Searching…
    Searching… 3G
    AT&T / 3G
    (loops…)
    Here is a video of the cycling. Note the iPhone 4 is just sitting on a coffee table in my house.
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7186070/ip4fw421searching.mov
    Also worth noting, I just got the iPhone 4 and I updated it to 4.2.1 right away. Previously, I had a 3GS which did not exhibit any of this behavior in the same location in my house. Also, my girlfriend still has a 3GS and has FW 4.2.1 without these issues. I have a video of her phone in the exact same location taken just after the clip above and her phone maintains 3-bars / AT&T / 3G the entire time.
    I picked up the iPhone 4 while out of state over the holiday weekend and did not observe any of these connectivity issues, in fact the 3G throughput of the iPhone 4 was significantly better (consistently got >4 Mbps down / >800 Kbps up) than what my family members were seeing with their 3GS models.
    I believe it is a baseband issue introduced with the 4.2.1 update for iPhone 4, but I also strongly believe there is some tower component to this problem (ie, software revision at the tower or configuration).
    Like others here, I also performed a restore to 4.2.1 through iTunes and setup my phone as "New" and I continue to see the behavior. The phone is unusable in my house unless I manually disable 3G. As a final data point, when I'm able to maintain a 3G connection long enough in my house I get the following throughput from Speedtest.net: 1863 Kbps down / 543 Kbps up.

  • Wifi keeps dropping out after 9months without problems

    At Christmas I bought my lady an Ipad(retina with wifi) sometime after that I noticed my 9month old iphone4s was not connecting to wifi, i thought it may be a DHCP problem on the EDIMAX wifi router which is setup to run WEP, I have tried the following roughly in this order. All with varying degrees of temporary success!
    1 toggle wifi in iphone settings
    2 toggle airplane mode,
    3 Reboot iphone,
    4 Reboot router,
    5 Factory reset router - no password no encryption,
    6 restore via tunes from december 2012 backup
    7 restore via itunes from march 2012 backup
    8 general reset and restore from march 2012 backup
    9 as above but reset all settings via phone
    10 Reset network settings in iphone
    my wifi constantly drops out, sometimes the wifi toggle switch has greyed out requiring iphone reboot, sometimes even that hasnt worked and requires that the ihone has been restored.
    I am now at a loss as to what has happened, is it hardware or software? I bought the phone from Tesco but am i correct that I can take it into any apple store for help?
    TIA

    Genius bar told me that the greyed out wifi toggle apparently is an indication the there is a hardware fault!
    As you know if you followed the thread, I was able to recover for a very short time by restoring the operating system, but within 30mins the connection was being dropped. toggling the wifi on and off by either "forgetting network" settings or resetting iphone, or using the "aircraft mode" almost always results in a wifi toggle switch being greyed out! I don't know but it is possible that the errors are being tallied internally and on reaching a preset quota inform the user that there is an issue, This in my case takes the form of the wifi being greyed out!
    The phone was just in warranty and apple replaced it free of charge, It had a month to run but the phone comes with a 90 day warranty. It was fully backed up so no real problem other than the 100mile round trip to the apple store.

  • Why does apple tv drop out when music playing but movies ok ?

    wifi signal is 3 from 5 so seems ok
    movies play back ok
    music replay will drop out/stop occasionally
    playing from my macbook pro and itunes

    The Apple TV is connected to my network on ethernet. After the Apple TV has restarted it will work for a while until it is either unselected from AirPlay or until after the movie is finished and I have disconnected it from home sharing.  It's just inconvenient to have to restart it every time you want to use it.

  • My Apple TV drops out when my iMac isn't connected to wifi yet my TV is connected to wifi.  Also having issues with losing settings on Home Sharing as well.  How do I fix these issues?

    Whether I'm watching a movie purchased via my Apple TV or a movie stored on my iTunes app on my iMac I'm having constant issues with Apple TV either cutting out (randomly - not related to wifi) or not being able to access the 'My Computer' files when my iMac drops out the wifi connection because its in power saving mode.  I also have issues with 'Home Sharing' settings having to be reset and sometimes having to unplug the Apple TV power cord and plugging it back in to be able to successfully reset these settings so I can get back to watching whatever it was I was viewing on Apple TV.  My TV is connected to wifi as well so I'm wondering if there are any changes I can make in the settings of both my Apple TV and iMac or TV so that I can just select whatever it is I want to watch and be able to watch the entire movie or episode without it dropping out or having to keep flicking the mouse on the iMac to keep the computer connected to wifi?  I love Apple products generally but Apple TV is proving to be a pain in the a**e lately.  Hopefully someone can help me sort these issues out

    Intermittent issues will point to a local network/wifi issue.
    Reboot ATV and router, make sure both are up to date
    Try ethernet
    The home sharing connection will cut out if the iMac goes to sleep.

  • ATV2 music drops out after 2-3 songs, withou fail.  Restarted/rebooted everything and my router shows no signal drops, suspect it is the home sharing but can't get into it to fix it. Am at my wits end.

    Recently bought the ATV2, all working well until 2-3 songs played and it drops out and returns to the main menu.  I have rebooted/restarted everything, and checked the event log in my router which shows no drop outs in WiFi connection.  When I tested it with a movie, it worked, ran for the length of the movie, but when I put on music it did it again. Suspect problem is software, maybe the home sharing and the time until it drops out is close to the same each time.  I am at a complete loss, and at my wits end.  Please help

    Did you happen to allow enough time for a power recycle when switching the router connected to your DSL modem?
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    - Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, Internet Router, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the Internet Router; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    - Power-on the computer(s)
