  • Im realy getting tired of this.Apple tv2 keeps loosing my password.

    About every 3 or 4 days I have to re-enter my password because apple tv2 keeps forgetting it even after I tell it to remember it.This is becoming very annoying as my password is quite long.Ever since version 4.3 this has happened,never before.All of my other devices have no problem remembering passwords just this little black box.Thanks apple.My logitec keyboard used to work with itunes but after the latest update that dont work anymore either,once again thanks apple.I would rather wait longer for an update that works than get one fast that dont work right.To sum things up I have let apple know about this but have received no responce back what so ever.I have also re-downloaded the new software version 4.3 because the movie section went missing all on its own,nice and still have problems.Funny thing is I own a Thomas Edison gramaphone that is over 100 years old and it still works just like it was new,I think the folks at apple could learn a thing or two from him.So my question is has anybody had this problem and is there a fix for it.Like I said I contacted apple and got no responce so that option is out for me.Having spent thousands of dollars on apple products over the years I am rapidly loosing faith in the company,theyre happy to take my money then leave me high and dry.Thanks apple.

    Thanks for the reply vazandrew,the password is my itunes store one.Im not sure how it could be a network issue because it only started after the latest update.Also my son has the exact same router and setup as me and he has not had any issues,he lives next door and we are on the same internet provider.His password is always rememberd and mine is only rememberd for a few days then it looses it.I have also downloaded the latest firmware update for my mouse and keyboard and that has not helped either.I wish apple would do more testing before releasing theyre updates.I guess its time to change my password to something with as few characters as possable since I have to keep entering it.Thanks again .......Mike

  • Apple tv keeps loosing the connection with the mac

    Purchased a new desktop mac, time machine and an apple tv. everything is working splendid however the the apple tv seems to keep loosing the connection with the computer. As I sit here i see its no longer listed on the i tunes as a device, I seem to have to reset to the factory defaults again and re install it. I hope I am wrong and I am missing a step and its there and maybe I just don't know how to access it, So here I am posting this to all, Help.... I will be the first to admit I really am a little lost with this apple tv
    thanks you everyone

    I have the same problem as you do. i have had my apple tv for about 2 years now. I connect my apple tv to my iMac, via wifi by airport extreme. i used to before connect via ethernet cable to my airport extreme, i still had the same problem as you do. that itunes losses the apple tv. yet, from apple tv i can still access the internet. i have gone through all my settings on my airport, they are all correct. the connection only seems to last a few days then, it just losses connection. i have asked this question before, but now one was able to help. Apple is not interested because apple tv is just a pet project to them. you do not have to rest the apple tv every time, you just need to go to the options menu and select the connected computers and tell it to delete connection to your computer. once it has done that, make a new connection to your computer on itunes put in the new passcode and set up which films etc you want to be sync. We should not have to do this every few days. Apple needs to sort this out or at least lets us know how to stop this.

  • Can't see photos of iPhoto through my Apple TV after moving the iPhoto library to my Airport Extreme Disk. It keeps "loading user's library" forever...

    Hi there,
    some days ago I purchased an Airport Extreme router with disk to move my iphoto library there and free space of my crowded macbook pro.
    Everything was working well (iphoto takes a little bit longer to start and quit) but now I can't see my photo library through my apple tv.
    It keeps loading the library forever.
    Is there any problem doing that?
    Thanks
    jm

    Help,
    Thanks for the quick answer and for the welcome.
    Yes I selected it in the iTunes sharing options (in fact several times, with resets in between just in case)
    I think that it's related to the size of the library (more than 8 gb) and e fact that is in a remote disk (in the AirPort Extreme)
    Hope anyone has the solution :-))
    Thanks again!
    Jm

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Why does Apple TV keep losing connection to home library?

    My Apple TV keeps stopping every 4-5 minutes when playing my iTunes library from my shared home computer.  I have to keep refreshing iTunes from my computer to have Apple TV find my library again.  Can anyone tell me why this is happening?  I've checked firewall settings and the computer is not on standby...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • My iMac is authorised to play iTunes content, but my Apple TV keeps asking for me to authorise. I am unable to view content from my iTunes Library. How can I convince my Apple TV that I am authorised?

    My iMac is authorised to play iTunes content, but my Apple TV keeps asking for me to authorise and I am unable to view content from my iTunes Library. How can I convince my Apple TV that I am authorised?

    I am not exactly sure what you mean by "authorised", but I am experiencing a similar problem...or the same, in that Apple TV keeps telling me to enable home sharing in my MacBook Pro. It does not seem to recognize that home sharing is already enabled on my Laptop.
    Is home sharing and "authorised" one in the same? It used to work just fine before these recent Apple TV updates.

  • How can I download a US iPad User's Manual when my apple ID keeps sending me to the French site?

    How can I download a US iPad User's Manual when my apple ID keeps sending me to the French site?  I live in France but am American and prefer to work in English.  My Apple ID is tied to my French address and Apple blocks me from downloading from the US site.  What do I need to do to get US apps and manuals if I don't have a US address for a credit card?

    Perhaps the simplest thing you could do is ask a US based friend to download the User Guide, have them email it to you in PDF.  Save the PDF to your iTunes account, then sync it to your iPad.

  • Keeps loosing passwords

    Hi all,
    My aim accounts keeps loosing passwords and have to type it in each time I log in to messages beta.. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    HI,
    No, this should not be a problem.
    I entered a  New iCloud Issued Apple ID as the iMessages service ID  and it loads all 6 of my iChat IDs with no problem.
    There was a sort of implied question as to whether you had issue (of the same nature)  in iChat as well.
    To be clear in Lion I am using:-
    1) iCloud @me.com name as both iMessage name and An AIM valid name (two services)
    2) A Google ID
    3) Jabber ID
    4) @Mac.com name
    5) Yahoo ID
    6) another 2 AIM Names (my Main name and a 'Spare")
    As you seem to be jsut starting with Lion we have to consider whether you migrated a User from another computer to this Lion one.
    If so some of what The SmokeMonster says will apply.
    Depending how and what you Migrated the Current Keychain my not be Owned by "You" as the Current Mac User Logged in on this computer.
    Make the Finder the "Front App" in the Menu Bar.
    USe the Go Menu  and hold the ALT key down to show the Library.
    Select the Library and then Keychains
    Highlight the login.keychain.
    Do a Get Info ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and i Keys together).
    At the bottom of the panel will be Onwership and Permissions.
    You should open the padlock and click the Cogwheel looking icon.
    Your Short Name followed by (me) should appear in the list with Read an Write Permissions.
    When you use the cogwheel icon it should read to make Your shortname (me) the Owner but greyed Out if you already Own it.
    In this Example I have Read and Write access But I am not the Owner

  • Keep loosing access to my home folder

    Hi,
    Could you please help to diagnose my MBP? I've been struggling to do it for a couple of weeks now
    The MacBook malfunction in two different ways:
    A. Keep loosing access to my home folder (usually when I'm browsing in Safari):
    1. The system stops to being responsive for 15-30 seconds, and then
    2. In Finder -> Places my home folder (wk) alias is missing, and I get the error "The alias "wk" can't be opened because the original item can't be found"
    3. In /Users the permissions to the folder are being changed (I haven't noted what exactly are the permissions), and I get the error "The folder "wk" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see it's contents"
    4. kernel.log shows I/O errors for disk0s2
    5. Disk utility verification shows the filesystems is in a perfect state, but the regular problems with /System/Library/java/* permissions won't be fixed
    6. System reboot fixes the issue 
    B. Kernel panic (the very first I've seen happened four weeks ago, and then three followed during the previous week)
    1. I got the usual grey screen, and reboot
    2. kernel.log shows Page Fault, in all cases with kernel as the "app in focus" 
    I've taken the following steps to diagnose the problems:
    1. Disk Utility verification shows the filesystems is in a perfect state, 
    2. There're always a problem with permissions in /System/Library/java/... (always fixable)
    3. Run extended AHT in a loop (no problems found) - didn't help
    4. Reinstalled the OS - didn't help with problem A, although problem B hasn't happened ever since (a coincidence?)
    5. Put back original RAM dice  - didn't help with problem A
    6. Zeroed the HDD and installed from a scratch - didn't help with problem A
    7. Exchanged HDD to a brand new one (was planning to do that either way) and restored the OS from point 6. - didn't help with problem A
