Apple TV Having troubles streaming from itunes

Hi,
I have just recently got the apple tv 2 for christmas and i have discovered that when ever i try to watch something from my windows 7 laptop i can only watch one thing then when i try to watch something else i just get the spinning cog/wheel for an hour then it times out. i can fix this by closing itunes on my laptop then reopening it but this is very annoying. All my media in itunes comes off my network hard drive (iomega home media network hard drive [with an itunes server]) i have no idea weather this has anything to do with it but i sure hope it doesn't. Any help will be fantastic!
Thanks in advance
Josh

Apple TV will only automatically download new episodes if you purchased the show originally from the Apple TV. E.g., I purchased an HD seasons pass of a Sanctuary Season 2. Every week the HD episode would download to my Apple TV... the SD version had to be downloaded to my iMac. FYI, the HD episode syncs from your Apple TV back to your computer like any other purchase on your Apple TV.
For another TV seasons pass I purchased via iTunes on my iMac, it will only download episodes to my iMac and then syncs to my Apple TV.
Re: the second question on iTunes, I leave iTunes running all the time. It only checks for new downloads when I pick Check For Available Downloads while running. On start-up you need to set the Automatically Check for Available Downloads in iTunes preferences on the Store tab.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

  • Apple TV no longer stream from iTunes Match

    Since the last update Apple TV does not longer stream my music from iTunes Match. Also is the option for itunes match not longer selectable but on my ipad is it still working.

    Did you ever get this figured out?
    I am having this problem with my just-purchased Apple TV 3rd generation A1469, MD199LL/A, software 6.0.2.
    iTunes on my mac is at the latest version 11.1.3.
    iTunes Match has been, and continues to work for me on iPhone 5s. My Mac reports iTunes Match: iTunes library available in iCloud.
    After enabling iTunes Match, I see "Setting up your Apple TV to stream music from iTunes Match. This may take a few minutes, depending on the size of your library and Internet connection speed." After this a thermometer bar slowly completes left to right, indicating some kind of sync info transfer is occurring. This takes a number of minutes. Some minutes are the thermometer bar completes, the following error message appears:
    /_!_\ iTunes Match
    There was a problem connecting to iCloud. Try again later.
    ( /_!_\ above symbolizes an exclamation point inside a yellow triangle. )
    One thing which may be somewhat uncommon in my setup is that I have two Apple ID's. One is my iTunes Store Apple ID. This is used for all my iTunes purchases, iTunes in the cloud, and iTunes Match. The other is my iCloud ID. In Apple TV settings, iTunes Store is associated with my iTunes Store ID. I have tried with Apple TV iCloud associated with my iCloud ID, with my iTunes Store ID, and also signed out, with no difference in behavior.
    Another thing which may be uncommon is I am using the Apple ID two-factor authentication (two-step verification) described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US. Perhaps Apple TV has no way to deal with this? I have not tried disabling that as an experiment: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5631.
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide - I would really like to operate from iTunes Match and so as not to need to have mymacbook pro on and running iTunes and home sharing in order to enable content to apple tv.

  • Apple TV Cuts off when streaming from iTunes

    Since a couple days ago, when I stream a TV show I have brought from iTunes directly to watch it works fine but every 8 - 9 minutes, without fail it will cut off and say the iTunes store is not avaliable. I then simple press play again and it starts again, but then 8 - 9 minutes later the same thing happens? Does anyone know a way to fix this?? It's very frustrating when you're watching an hour long TV show and it cuts off 6 or 7 times!!
    Thanks.
    P.S. It worked fine until a couple days ago.

    its something on itunes part, like lantzn said we all been trying to get them to help us
    if you stream from your library---- works fine
    if you stream from netflix-----all is fine
    if you stream from itunes store ----whatever you are watching will cut off after 8min 59 sec
    you can resume but just 9 min later the same thing happens again.
    I have spent 2 days trouble shooting the issue with Apple care, I even opened a new Apple tv I got for my family room which is doing the same thing, I reset my settings, I refreshed my network still the same problem
    today on a return call I got from apple care they agree its on itunes end, so he made a call or chat whatever they did to the tech support at the itunes store dept and they gave him the same as I got from express lane, everything is fine on their end....its not!
    they told him to tell me its my network ...its not! I have 2 xbox consoles and they both work fine when I stream videos, I have no issue with anything on my Apple tv such as youtube or netflix or my library
    jus the store.
    there are so many complaining on this exact issue and they need to understand
    the coomon issues we all have
    started on the 19th of this month
    itune store cuts off after 8min and 59 sec
    it can resume but will cut off after 8min and 59 sec
    can watch netflix with no problems
    can use my library to stream with no problems
    it could be a server issue or update but the new apple tv I opened was 4.4.3 and it had the same issues as the one I been using which is 4.4.4
    The only thing I can suggest is if you have the Apple care on your Apple TV is to call over and over and let them know this is happening because if they get the calls then hopefully someone will keep contacting the itune store support and fix it.
    itunes support told apple care to go to a store and have them test it on their network
    Honestly, I can not make it to the  genuis bar at a apple store for a bit because I was in a car accident and can't walk on my leg, so trust me I was looking forward to watching a bunch of movies, I could but the resuming after every 9 min blows.
    so frustrated but im calling apple care again in the morning.

  • After APTV and itunes upgrade on mac, streaming from itunes to Apple TV is very slow.

    After APTV and itunes upgrade on mac to latest on 02/15, streaming from itunes to Apple TV is very slow. even 5 mins song takes 10-15 mins to start. Netflix/Youtube work fine on Apple TV. restarted Mac, router, modem, appletv. reset Appletv to factory setting and re-start.

    Apple TV 2 does not appear in iTunes (exception being when connected via micro-usb for restore) as it has no sync capabilities.
    See if this helps

  • Problem streaming FROM iTunes to Apple TV

    I recently reinstalled windows on my computer, and copied the old iTunes settings to my new installation. Everything works fine, except for streaming from iTunes to my Apple TV 2. I have no problems when using my Apple TV to select podcasts or music in the Library on my computer, they play fine. However, when I use iTunes to play these podcasts or songs on my Apple TV (using Airplay) they have constant hiccups. Every 20-30 seconds, the sound stutters. My wifi connection is not the problem, the Apple TV, computer and router are all in the same room close to eachother (and I have the maximum number of bars on my wifi connection).
    I have read somewhere that it may be related to old network preferences kept by iTunes, and have tried to delete the old com.apple.iTunes.plist file, but this did not help.
    Does anybody have any idea to solve this annoying problem?

    I am amazed as well. I have spent days and hours trying to figure this out! I believe it is a software glitch that allows sesitivity to vary! Signal strength stays @100%, there are no other houses for 50 yards in a wooded environment and no other electronic devices to possibly interfere with the signal. With only 20 feet seperating airport and apple tv you would think it would be stable. This is more then disappointing. With my system the same thing happens as with yours?? Apple says interference but I know that is not the case. I had the same problem at 3 in the morning and this place is dead at 3 in the morning. Not even a car!! Sometimes iTunes just drops off station and apple tv stays synced can't explain that either??

  • HT4352 slow streaming from itunes to apple tv 3

    I am experiencing slow streaming from itunes to apple tv (latest gen). My itunes library is found but when the music begins it stops after 2 seconds then restarts etc etc. It seems like it is streaming slowly from itunes. At first it appeared the firewall was the problem but this has been eliminated. Any one have the same problems or know of a solution?

    Hi,
    I had this problem both between Mac itunes library and Apple TV and Windows 7 Itunes Library to Apple TV, I disabled IPv6 on both my mac and windows machine, fixed the ip on all my devices. I also disabled windows firewall on my windows machine (I have an external firewall so not needed) you may not want to do this. From my windows machine it would play a few songs, then start one at 7 seconds and not play audio. From my mac it would say connecting to itunes library with the wheel.
    These are the things I believe to resolve the issue, I also disabled a tonne of windows services (iphelper, Windows media streaming)

  • I'm having trouble upgrading to ITunes v12.0.1 with Win 7. Download progress bar stalls and eventually cancels itself. Have tried Tools -- Download Only, but same result. Have been using iTunes for 3  years without difficulty

    I'm having trouble upgrading to ITunes v12.0.1 with
    Win 7. Download progress bar stalls and eventually cancels itself. Have tried
    Tools --> Download Only, but same result. Have been using iTunes for 3+
    years without difficulty; I have lots of ram, hard drive and speed.
    Thanks for your input

    One step listed in the link to "helpful" info, was (when Iooked 30 seconds ago), to search for and download the newest version of iTunes. I'm running iTunes on Win 7 machine and was prompted to update today, 10.22.2014, and did so without a problem. Having said that, however, it looks as though the latest iTunes (12.0.1.26) is finally doing what the last version refused to do, which is to actually fully populate all my playlists on my 6, but there is a hitch: 12.0.1.26 will NOT allow you to show the sidebar unless you click on "playlists," that is, you cannot keep it open all the time.
    And, when plugging the 6 into the computer, the phone icon shows up but clicking on it does nada. What does work, for some strange reason, is clicking on the tiny icon (just under the "Store" menu link at top screen) which looks much like a tiny barrel, someone's idea of external drives, I suppose. The phone then comes up, with the list of stuff on the phone just under it where the sidebar used to be. Sync is now restricted to the lower right of the screen.
    Apparently, you will also need to update your iPhone's software as well; some friends with the 4 and 4s, however, had troubles with them after upgrading. The message from Silicon Valley (I can see Apple from my backyard, ha ha) is apparently, "keep upgrading," folks, get rid of those old phones.
