Apple TV keeps disconnecting from iTunes library-- all other features work no problem.  Any suggestions?

A few days ago our Apple TV kept stopping playing music after about 5-10 minutes, and we get the message to turn on home sharing, but it's already on.  Any ideas on what to do?

Hm, how do we determine that's really the problem?

    Hello jared1915
    If you are stuck in that loop, the next step would be to restore your iPhone. Check out the article below to get your iPhone into recovery-mode and restore it in iTunes.

  • Apple TV Randomly Disconnects From iTunes While Streaming Videos

    Hey All,
    Anyone having an issue where your Apple TV randomly disconnects from your iTunes on another computer while streaming videos from it? Randomly, on different shows and movies, I have had it do it quite a few times.
    In the beginning, after it would disconnect, within a few seconds, it would reconnect to iTunes and then I would have to navigate back to what I was watching and and resume it. Now, it will disconnect, and then I will have to quit iTunes on my iMac and then start it up again.
    I am curious if it is an issue with the wireless adapter on the ATV because when it happens, it looks like it losses complete connection with the iTunes and then reconnects to the net only after. Then I would need to restart iTunes on my iMac to continue watching my show.
    This was happening before the recent update and continues after the update as well.
    Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

    You're talking about those WIFI bridges they make for xbox 360s that connect the 360 ethernet to a wifi adapter, bridging it?
    That is a possible solution, but I will definitely check with Apple first, hoping it will be a no money solution (I am a grad student, every dollar helps).
    My apartment is two rooms, my iMac being in another room, so that wouldn't work. The Wifi extender will probably be my only hope if Apple is not cool with the helping a brother out.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Why does apple Remote app disconnect from itunes all the time

    I have downloaded the apple remote app on my iphone 5 and have successfully attached it to my itunes library via Homeshare.
    However, if i leave my phone and it goes into the suspended mode it will not be able to find the itunes library again.
    To do so, i have to turn off the HomeSharing facility on itunes, then turn it on again. Then the iphone Remote app will find the itunes library.
    Please please please can someone help me as it's doing my brain in?!?!?
    I am running the itunes program on a PC.
    thanks!!

  • Apple TV's disconnects from itunes

    I have 2 apple TV's streaming from my mac mini. Whenever I reboot my iMac into bootcamp both AppleTV's disconnect from the iTunes on the mini. This is very weird because I have nothing pretty much on the bootcamp part that would interfere with it, not even iTunes installed. Anyone have a clue as to what might be causing this? Both ATV's are on wireless N to my Airport Extreme router.

  • Apple TV keeps losing my Itunes library

    I go to watch Apple TV and it says there is no library available when I try to access it.  The only solution is to unplug the Apple TV.  After that, works fine, but this keeps happending.  Clearly there's no network issue as I don't need to do anything to do with my router or my Imac.  I have the Apple TV hooked up by ethernet cable as well.  Any idea what's going on?

    I have the exact same problem.
    Can't figure out why, it will work fine with all other functions... but when I go to my library it says there is not one available. 
    Need help here too.

  • Why does my Apple TV keep disappearing from Itunes?

    Now this is frustrating. Recently, after months with no problem, my Apple TV is not appearing in my list of devices in itunes. I have switched it off, restarted the Mac etc. Then I reset the Apple TV, hey presto, it was back, until I reloaded the latest software update, when it disappeared again. Any clues as to why this is happening? I must point out that I have recently added Windows Vista to the Imac, but would not expect that to affect the Apple TV, but what do I know?

    Yeah.. I just noticed I was missing stuff last week, and then realized that my Apple TV was not showing up in my iTunes device list. I'm just hoping that the silence on this issue from Apple is a sign that they are getting ready to push out an update to correct either itunes or Apple TV. I've read lots of complaints, and just a few remedies. I've tried the remedies (including the one on the Apple TV support site) and none of them work for me. I have noticed one thing that that I wanted to try. In iTunes->Preferences->Apple TV I have an Apple TV in the "Apple TV's connected to iTunes" window, that shows a status of syncing. Since I don't have an Apple TV in the device list, and my Apple TV was reset days ago so it is giving me the code to enter into iTunes, can I assume that this item can and should be deleted. I don't think this is going to solve my problem, but it looks like a good next step. Any suggestions?

  • HP Mediasmart server keeps disconnecting from shared library

    Hi
    Just move to an Imac from a windows machine so I hope someone could assist me?
    I have a HP mediasmart server that stores my music and under the shared headings in Itunes it recognises it, clicking on it shows "loading HP mediasmart server" for about 10 seconds then it disappears and keeps looping round.
    My Macbook pro has not trouble connecting to it and it remains connected
    Can any one point me in the right direction
    regards

    Resolved. If anyone has the same problem its because there is a corrupt song that crashes the fire-play server running on WHS. Remove the song a it all works

  • Cleartune has updates available, but I keep getting a message saying "cannot connect to Itunes store"  all other updates work just fine?  The one app I paid for is the one that for some reason will not work.  How can I upgrade without buying it again?

    I loaded cleartune a while back, there are upgrades/updates available, which I'm trying to load.  When I choose update, it asks for my password, which I provide and I get a message saying "cannot connect to Itunes store"  I have many other apps I've loaded and upgraded just fine.  However this one, the one I actually wanted bad enough to pay for, is wanting me to delete it and buy another copy.  How can I update Cleartune without buying it again? 

    Hi all,
    This is a very interesting situation. I did try to update one of my apps within itunes as was suggested. That worked !!
    But then I noticed that I had 2 different logins that I must have created over the years. I almost forgot. I have a apple ID and an AOL ID. It seems that I purchased (actually they are all free) some apps with one ID and other apps with the other ID. I must have done this by accident.
    So when I log out of one of the IDs on my Touch and then log in with the other ID, I can update the apps.
    It seems that something changed on Apple's servers. It seems that until recently I was able to update free apps regardless of what ID I originally bought them with. Now it seems that's not the case. Apple must check this now.
    Now that I know what the issue is, I'll make sure I use one ID all the time.
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • My iPhone 3G will not restore from iTunes. I receive error message 9. Any suggestions?

    plz help

    Did you ceck your security software setttings?
    Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
