Apple TV no longer (1) connects to network, (2) appears in iTunes

Never had a problem until two days ago. Suddenly, my Apple TV:
(1) cannot connect to any of the wireless networks in my building. Each gives a different error: "cannot host any more devices (-14)" (which is a crock), and also errors -7, -6, and 0.
(2) it also no longer shows up at the bottom of iTunes as a speakers option.
What's up? Is this from the 2.3 update? Can't I connect Apple TV to iTunes without a network connection -- like can't I do it directly between the devices, via AppleTalk or Bonjour? Anyone else suffering from this?

SL has affected a small number of tv users, as was the case with all previous system, itunes and tv updates, this will always occur, but in every case so far these numbers are not significant and tend to support an issue with the users specific set up rather than the updates themselves.
It would be impossible in practice to test all combinations of software and hardware with impending software releases. The fact that an update works at all is a testament to how well tested the software is. As a result an update may appear on the surface to be buggy, but in reality a contributing factor is causing your problem.
If there is nothing to fix, further Apple updates may well not resolve your problem, you need to be looking for a problem with your own set up.

MacBook no longer auto-connects to network after 10.4.8

I have a MacBook and use Airport to connect to my wireless router. It always used to auto-connect to my router upon booting up. Now that I've installed the 10.4.8 update, it no longer connects automatically. I have to click on the Airport icon on the toolbar and select my network; only then will it connect.
I have already read this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304482
and followed its directions, but it did not solve the problem.
(Incidentally, I do not use WPA2, just WPA Personal.)
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

From http://www.macsonly.com/ , today
not tested :
After we tested the latest Mac OS X update, v10.4.8, on our 2.33GHz 24" iMac Core 2 Duo, we added another user account for the long-term tester. But after a restart or cold start, the iMac would reconnect to our AirPort network but it would get assigned an internal IP address rather than one from our router so it would not connect to the internet.
This problem could be temporarily solved by using the AirPort menu icon to turn off and then turn back on the AirPort card. This was frustrating because the original user account on our iMac continued to connect automatically to the network and internet after a restart or sleep as did all of our other Macs upgraded to 10.4.8.
We tried everything listed by Apple in its technical support articles (e.g. Article Number 304482) and provided on other Web sites, including deleting the preferred network in the System Preferences Network pane and re-adding it. We even tried deleting every AirPort-related preference ".plist" file including the "Networkinterface.plist" as recommended on another Web site yesterday. Nothing worked.
Then we tried a variation on Apple's suggestion and it worked. Here are the steps:
Open System Preferences, select the Network pane and select AirPort in the "Show:" popup menu.
Set the "By default, join:" popup menu to "Preferred networks."
Delete the listed preferred networks using the "-" button but this time we did not add it back again with the "+" button as Apple recommends.
Set the "By default, join:" popup menu to "Automatic."
Restart.
Manually rejoin the AirPort network using the AirPort menu icon, i.e. selecting the network (or selecting "Other" and typing in the network name if hidden) and typing in the WPA (or WEP) password.
Now every time we restart our iMac, it automatically connects again to the AirPort network and gets an IP address assigned by the router so that it also connects to the internet. [Bill Fox]

Macbook pro no longer automatically connects to network upon waking up

Since yesterday - for no apparent reason, i have to manually choose my network when i open my macbook. This is not a new computer or a new wireless setup. All has been working fine (with occasional hiccups with new hardware here and there, but mostly fine) for YEARS. And of course, as of 2 days ago, no problem. Everything is set to connect automatically and my home network is top of my list of 'preferred' networks. It does seem to be taking a few seconds longer to show up than previously, so maybe that's why it doesn't join without my help?
And if that's the case, what would be making it take longer to appear? Any ideas? Have reset everything. Plugging, unplugging, shutting down, restarting, etc. Did the reset button on the airport extreme itself, too.
I have the extreme, plus 2 expresses to extend my network. (also not a new set-up)
TIA

Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

Apple Tv (3rd. Gen) connect to network but didn't set time and date so...

Hi.
Fist of all, the device previously working fine. It works really nice since December 2011 until september 2012.
We were on vacation so, I disconnect some devices in my house, including the Apple tv.
I reconnect it after several weeks. Works fine, but one week later, after another re-connection, it restarted, show the apple logo, but stays permanently in Setting date and time.
After three more reconnection, I check for the network. It is connected to the network via wifi, plays via Airplay everything from the Iphones anf the Ipads, but it is unable to set Date and Time. We check the modem and the router. Everything is working fine, but the Apple Tv refuses to set Date and Time, so, we can't see the others computer's libraries, no iTunes, no Radio, no nothing from the Internet.
The computers (three MacBook Pros, one Sony Vaio PC, and two iPads, one first and one third generation) are with the last Operative Systems. Also the Apple TV have the last update, because I restore it. We also checked the Home Share account, and all the computers have it working fine.
So, what happens?
It is general, or is this a single case?
If somebody know about a similar case, and have the solution, I'll appreciate the advise.
Thanks.

Apple TV 2nd won't connect to Network -3902 Error

Can anyone help with this, got brought an Apple TV for Christmas and it won't connect to the router, it can find it, but when you put the password in, it just comes up saying:
There is a problem connecting to the internet.
Check your settings and try again (-3902)
Any help would be much appreciated

I had a bit more hassle after sending my first exultant message, as it wouldn’t connect again after power off the next day. There were a number of errors in my router config, including the wrong MAC address in my MAC filtering inclusion list (got corrupted, I think!), but couldn’t get it up even after fixing that. I then reset the Apple TV and started over, including re-entering the looong passphrase I have for my WAP2 security protocol. What a pain!
It did come back with some fantastic IP address that wasn’t even on the Internal Private Network lists (eg, 10.1.1.x, 192.168.xxx.xxx, etc), so I set the Apple TV to static mode and reset all the addresses and masks to 0. Still no luck.
Then I remembered watching my Modem stats screen and seeing that it didn’t have some of my connections listed as active in the DHCP table, even though these connections were up and running. I could get them on the table by going into the Network (Advanced) Pane in System Preferences and renewing the DHCP Lease. Of course, you can’t do that on the Apple TV. However, you can reboot your modem to refresh everything. Did that, and guess what, Apple TV came up smiling! The WAP2 Password was clearly stored somewhere, and the reboot of the modem clearly triggered a response.
That was last night (or should I say, very early morning!). I shut power off to my TV and HiFi when not using, and this also shuts off the Apple TV. I just booted both up this morning and the Apple TV came up smelling like a rose.
Hope this helps a few people.

Suddenly Can't Connect to Network - related to iPod/iTunes updates????

My APExpress that boosts the signal for my wife's iMac (lamp) was blinking amber this morning. My APExpress that my printer connects to showed green. I tried to connect my iMactel to the network, but oddly it asked for the password and then wouldn't accept the correct password, but it does see the network. AirPort Utility doesn't see any Apple Networks. My base station is an APExtreme.
I have made no changes except for installing the latest versions of iTunes and iPod touch software yesterday.

Well, I unplugged my APExtreme for a while, plugged in again and filled in the old network name and password and it connected. The two APExresses are now green.
My network has been active for several years, but I have never had this happen before. All's well that ends well.

Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy. It is a Macbook Pro osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

Almost certainly none of the above! Try each of the following in this order:
Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
Close down Safari; move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false

Macbook Pro no longer auto-connects to preferred network

The title says it.
While my computer connects automatically to some (maybe all but one) of my preferred networks, it now does not connect, annoyingly, to the one I use the most often (let's call it NET).
I've triple checked that it's preferred and should connect automatically, and the computer remembers the password, so that if I manually select NET, it connects no problem. But:
a) It won't auto-connect to NET, and
b) If I turn my computer on, when it presents the list of networks to me, I have to wait for it to reload the list, cause if I click on NET originally, it doesn't connect, and I have to refresh the list and try again.
c) Figured that might mean that it's just taking longer to load the networks and is showing me a list before it's actually picked up on the networks, but waiting forever doesn't make it autoconnect; it just refreshes the list.
Any ideas? This is a huge pain.

No idea. You could try deleting the file
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
... and restart your Mac.
To find that file quickly, select the above path (triple-click the line), control-click to bring up the contextual menu, and select Services > Reveal. Drag that file to the Desktop, or directly to the Trash.
This will completely erase your AirPort network preferences, requiring that you select your Wi-Fi network and authenticate again.
What OS X version are you using, and are you using an Apple AirPort Base Station, or a third party product?

Hp Officejet Pro 8500 connected to network, but can't be seen from computer or Apple mobile devices

I set up the printer and was able to print from an Apple iPod. Then I connected the printer directly to one machine via USB to scan a bunch of old picture.
I disconnected the printer USB cable (so it is no longer attached to that computer) and now it is wirelessly connected to my local WiFi. The test page reports that the connection is good and I have an IP address for the printer.
However, the computer and iPod can not see the printer. They are all on the same network SSID but the IP address can not be found from the computer.
I have gone through all the diagnostic suggestions in the HP Troubleshooting utility with no joy.
Did connecting the printer directly via a USB port reset something that I need to reconfig?

When you finally get around to looking at my post, never mind.
I reset the factory defaults on the printer and reauthorized my WiFi network.
Now it is working.

IMac is trying to connect to a server that no longer exist on my network.

iMac is trying to connect to a server that no longer exist on my network - I am looking for a solution to stop the error messages showing up. For instance, I have a contact in the address book that I need to change his picture and when I try to do that, for some reason, the server where the pics were stored appears as unavailble. The error message is not going away until the aplication is being closed.
Appreciate any feedbacks.
Thanks.

Back up all data.
1. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
2. From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard
Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.
3. Quit Contacts. Triple-click the text on the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return.
A Finder window will open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
4. Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 2, then from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Import
and import from the file you exported. Your contacts will reappear.
5. Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud preference pane, if you disabled it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results.

Apple TV no longer connecting to iTunes Store

Hi, recently (not sure exactly when) my Apple TV has stopped seeing the iTunes Store. It appears in iTunes on the iMac and syncs perfectly so I know it's network connected and I have no trouble connecting to the store from the iMac so I know the router is connecting to the internet correctly. I've made no changes to network configuration since it last worked so I'm a little stumped. Anyone else having problems or have any ideas?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Any other issues. Can you;
Watch You Tube, listen to internet radio or view internet based photo galleries.
