Apple TV (Gen1) wont stream

Hey guys,
I'm having a ton of issues with my "new" gen 1 ATV. What I want to do, is stream my library to the ATV and use my iphone remote to play songs etc. I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm not getting anything good.
I have it connected "wired" to a wireless bridge. I can connect to the network and I can see itunes content and I can login to iTunes.
I can connect to my iTunes (latest version) in either Win7 or OSX 10.6. I connect (get the numbers...run upstairs...input them...apple say ok...shows up in itunes etc) Then the library shows up sort or greyed out.
I go back to the ATV menu and look for songs in MYsongs and nothing. The note under ATV menu for sharing said to look in "shared" folder, but there are no "shared" folders listed under music or photos.
I'm thinking that it takes a while to sync and nothing shows up until it's competed syncing...that might be the case...or not...I have no idea.
any help would be appreciated.

This sounds like a port issue. Somebody (possibly wjosten) posted a list of ports that need to be open in order for the ATV to work correctly.
Check your router set up and see if there are any services that are open for your iPad but blocked for the ATV

  • Just bought an apple tv and it wont stream music from my imac. when i click on the apple tv music icon it goes straight into the itunes store and so i can only access the music i have bought from itunes not the music i have stored in itunes on my computer

    i just bought an apple tv and it wont stream music from my imac. when i click on the apple tv music icon it accesses the itunes store and brings up only that music i have purchased from apple instead of all the music i have stored in itunes on my imac.

    The music icon will only access your purchased music. You need to go to the computer icon. It must be on and running iTunes, and home-sharing enabled in order for it to be accessible to Apple TV

  • My apple tv is not streaming from my itunes since my last update but streams movie previews so i know it is communicating to the internet any advice. P.S. i have already unplugged everythign and reset everything already so i need better advice.

    It steams movie previews so i know it is connected to the internet and it sees my movies but when i click on them to play they take unusually long and then if they start they just dont load. I have had this unit for a year and have not had any problems till now. The last update changed the look and then it wont stream it is very frustrating. any advice will be appreciated. I have already unplugged everything and reset everything and still nothing.

    Just look through the list of posts - you will see many people asking the same question.  My father and i (different households) have the same issue.  Apple techs want to blame it on interference or firewalls, BUT everything was working before the update so that is just a blow off answer.  Apple needs to fix this.

  • HT201317 My photo's wont stream from my iphone to my mac?

    I have all the settings and system prefreneces turned on correctly and still my photo's wont stream? please can someone help. Many thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.

  • I have just reset my 3gs - i have put in my apple ID and password, then it asks for my birthday, then it says 'Update apple ID' and wont let me put my email address in as its already being used??

    This is so frustrating, i have gone through iforgot and reset my password, re logged in and it all works fine until it wants me to update my apple ID??
    I dont know what it wants me to put?
    Any help appreciated : )

    If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

  • HT5312 I didn't make a rescue e-mail and now i forgot the answers of my security questions!!' And the apple support contact wont open???

    I didn't make a rescue e-mail and now i forgot the answers of my security questions!!' And the apple support contact wont open???

    I'm not sure what you mean by the 'apple support contact wont open' (?). If you mean the 'contact iTunes Store support' link on the page that you posted from I've just tried it and it seems to wok ok for me, though I haven't gone as far as to actually contact them.
    You can contact either iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps on the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • How many apple tv devices can stream personal videos from a single iTunes library

    I'm doing some initial investigation on the matter and I've not been able to get a definitive answer to this question...
    Is there a limit to the number of Apple TVs that can stream videos from the same iTunes library, and if so, what is the limit?
    I'm not talking about content purchased over iTunes, I'm thinking exclusively homemade video content encoded in the appropriate video format for use with iTunes.

    disregarding the bandwidth limitations, is there a limit to the number of devices one could use for this? If I understand this correctly, the device limit only applies to iTunes content, and not so much a personal (non-iTunes store purchased content) library.

  • Hi, i am trying to download an ap and it is saying my sercity questions answers are wrong, it has now locked my apple id and wont let me use it. It is saying it is going to send the reset for the passwords to my email adress.

    Hi, i was using my iphone 4 and i was trying to download an app. It was saying i needed a sercity question. I tryed to remember the answers to the questions but i forgot. It was saying it was going to send the correct answers to my email. But the email it has typed in i have never seen before in my life. So i was wondering what to do. It has now locked my apple id and wont let me use it.

    That's not a good sign if it said it was going to send it to an email address you've never heard of. Contact iTunes Support and let them know this: http://apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • Movie The Words will not sync from iTunes 11.0.1 to Apple TV gen1

    Hello,
    I have followed the threads on the subject and got an SD copy of The Words (which I purchased in HD).
    Originally, there were two other problems.
    1) the download was being corrupted at the end, not finishing properly (HD). Although it would play in iTunes on the mac, a check of the Info showed several fields simply missing, such as AppleID. It did sync to Apple TV gen1 but then told us 'not authorized' when trying to play it. I finally got a good copy after clearing the Downloads folder and re-downloading several times.
    2) AppleIDs from iTunes and iCloud did not match, so I was at first unable to get the show iCloud in iTunes option on the Store preferences, with no warning. I fixed that too and got an SD copy of The Words into iTunes.
    I removed the original movie file from the Apple TV. it was gone from the movie list.
    However, I now have an SD copy of the movie in my iTunes, but it WILL NOT sync to the AppleTV. When i select it for sync, and apply, Sync runs very briefly, indicating no problems, but nothing gets done. The movie does not appear in the Apple TV menu, and it is clearly not being transferred over.
    Anyone got any suggestions?
    thanks

    Morning athos441,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The black unit is the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV.
    The 1st gen Apple TV (silver) is the one that you can move things over to the internal HD on the Apple TV.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Play items in your iTunes library using Apple TV (2nd generation or later)

  • How can I link Apple TV (Gen1) to Time Capsule (Gen 4)?

    Everyone
    I am using a the above mentioned Time Capsule as privat WiFi Network for our devices at home (MacBook Pro, iPhones & iPads). The Time Capsule itself is connected to a DSL Modem by means of an ethernet cable. So far so good.
    Newly I have got an Apple TV (Gen1) from a friend of mine and have also connected this device to same DSL Modem again by means of an ethernet cable.
    Everything works with ecception of the syncronisation between the Apple TV and iTunes.
    Unfortunately, Due to my limited understandig with technical matters I need some support in enabling this function. I guess that the Apple TV should communicate with iTunes within the same network and I suppose that the Apple TV should be linked to the Time Capsule instead of he DSL modem.
    Before I do a mess, and have to deal with a reconfiguration some advice would be more then welcome.
    Thank you for your time and advice
    Best wishes, Andrea

  • Apple TV started having streaming issues with Netflix

    Several days ago my Apple TV is no longer providing consistent streaming throught Netflix. Before that, I had great streaming through all content for many months.
    Issues, configuration and some actions already taken:
    Video quality starts suffering, then some pauses/buffering begins.
    I have tried the same Netflix account, content and network to trace the issue and found out through my Macbook Air and iPad and the streaming is excellent.
    My Apple TV is connected to my ISP through an Ethernet cable at 200 Mbps (tested @ Speedtest.net)
    I already restarted several times, and restored once my Apple TV.
    Software is updated since it became available.
    Yesterday, I found a post which recommended to manually setup my DNS to 008.008.008.008 which I did and worked great at that time, but todays problems are back with that fixed DNS and with Auto setup.
    I hove someone here can help me with some further advice, or perhaps Apple very soon releases a fix. Seems that the latest update improved Airplay consistency to deliver both video and audio and not only video, but might have broken Netflix streaming.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, I'm having the exact same issue since the latest update. I thought it was my internet connection but it worked perfectly fine in my ipad and macbook air.
    I also have 2 Apple TV's and the problem is in both of them. I really hope apple fixes this issue ASAP.
    In the meantime, if you wanna watch your netflix content on your apple tv with good streaming and you have an iPad/iPhone with netflix on it. I recommend Airplay mirroring the iOS device and then opening netflix, it will airplay the video content and the iphone/ipad screen will function as a remote control with all the settings and stuff...its kinda cool...the only bad thing is that you can't turn off the iPad/iPhone screen or it will pause the movie.
    i hope this works for you while apple fixes this issue.

  • Does the Apple Digital Av adapter Stream in 1080P so that my keynote presentations look better that streaming them through apple TV?

    Does the Apple Digital Av adapter Stream in 1080P so that my keynote presentations look better that streaming them through apple TV? I use Keynote and Apple TV to stream my Keynote presentations at work and the Picture does not look great and does not put the presetation in widscreen mode. Would the Apple Digital Av adapter fix that?

    The size on the screen should remain, but the quality should be better.

  • My ipod is displying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesnt "see" it even if the computer does.

    "My ipod is displaying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does."
    It worked two days ago fine, for two years, until I installed this newest iTunes update, then for one day it kept on freezing and going to apple logo screen mode, then today it only goes to that screen and wont start up at all.
    I've tried the hold down two buttons hard reset, that doesn't help. I've tried disc mode... but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does.
    This is a pristine ipod, never exposed to adverse conditions, never dropped, never wet, and it worked perfectly two days ago.
    Can I factory reset it somehow? (considering itunes can't "see" it)
    [Ipod classic 160gb less than two years old.]

    Looks like I might have found the solution on a youtube comment:
    R.O:
    "Plug into you laptop first, whichever set up you use that has iTunes, i know it won't read it, don't even open iTunes as of yet. Do the typical reboot "Menu +Center button at the same time" and hold it, DONT LET IT GO like we were told, when the apple pops up.. KEEP HOLDING IT it will make a new ding sound I've never heard before. and since its hooked to you laptop already an error message pops up and says apple will need to download something to repair your iPod. I when u see that that when i let reboot buttons go. hit ok on the laptop something downloads for like 20 seconds then the iTunes icon hops around when you open it it has a screen with an iPod classic on it and says "Software version blah blah, iTunes will check for an update on such n such date" AND FINALLY there's a "Restore" button. click that and you will be back to square one with your iPod. Renaming , adding all the music on it, but it will work again, finally. "
    I had to do it twice, because my mac froze the first time, but its recognized it now and is downloading the software as we speak...
    Now I've clicked the restore button and it's restoring... I'll post again if its a success, otherwise assume failure.

  • HT201413 itunes wont install, runtime error R6034 also 'apple mobile device' wont start! help!

    itunes wont install, runtime error R6034 also 'apple mobile device' wont start! help!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
