Apple TV seems to lock up I tunes??

I have posted this before in I-tunes discussion with no luck so trying here.
I have media on an powered external 2TB hard drive hooked up to a I-Mac, Snow Lepord.
For some time now when I try and access media via Apple TV/TV2..it locks up I-tunes. I have to force quit I-tunes to get I-tunes to work again and back in sync with the media on the external hard drive it seems. Sometimes I have to force quit/ re-open/ try and access with Apple TV/ TV2, 2 or 3 times before it works correctly again. Then it may stay in sync for a hour, a day it's very intermittent. I have replaced hard drive, re-built library, reinstalled I-tunes numerous times to no avail. Access to all on the Internet works fine all the time on the Apple TV's, but access to my media has become extremely frustrating.
It should be noted that I-tunes never locks up when working directly on the I-Mac, it is only with the Apple TV or TV2 is used to access the media within I-tunes that the issue arises. So not sure if a I-Tunes issue or a Apple TV issues or both in their communication with each other.
Any ideas, help, experience with this.

Then it may stay in sync for a hour, a day it's very intermittent.
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 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.

Granddaughter's Apple ID seems to be "locked" into app updates.

My granddaughter's Apple ID seems to be "locked" into the login for my app updates. I don't know her password and she is interstate. In settings I have re-logged myself in repeatedly, but when I go to do my app updating (or installing new) it brings up HER Apple ID and asks for her password, and there seems to be no way once there to change to MY Apple ID and/or "forget" her Apple ID. Any help appreciated, thanks.

My iPad doesn't have "settings>store". It has "settings> iTunes & App Stores". I have been in there and because I have logged out repeatedly and logged back in with my Apple ID and password it always shows that it's logged in to MY profile. But as I explained in my post, when I go to either do my app updates or try to install a new app I can't because it always comes up with my granddaughter's login, and there appears to be NO WAY at that point to input my Apple ID login instead :( Thanks anyway :)

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Is this the first time that you are trying to download something from the iTunes stores ? Unless an account is created by following the steps on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then you are likely to get an 'account not used' message and need to enter credit card details on the account before it can be used to download any item from the store. Have you logged into the account and entered card details ?

Not sure what you mean by 'open lock code several times' - what code are you referring to ?

HT6154 I phone 4 locked to I tunes with lastest update

I phone 4 locked to I tunes with lastest update

One week ago, I tried to update phone software. Did everything as usual. After phone went thru 50 minute update, message came back that phone is in restore mode. Phone screen on shows I tune logo & plug in cable symbol. I went to AT&T store , with no help. I just got off land line with AT&T support & repeated 1 hr plus segment to repeat same update. I have unloaded I tunes, reloaded I tunes & repeated process of upgrading without success.
AT&T technical support says phone is locked with I tunes from Apple, a software issue.
I do not want to upgrade phone .
Thanks for your help.

No, it's done on the computer, it's just done on the web and not through iTunes. I guess you could do it on the iPhone, but it would be easier to do on the computer.
Just go to the site linked above, then click on the big blue button and fill out the neccessary information.

My apple tv seems to have hung up during the latest software update - what should I do now?

my apple tv seems to have hung up during the latest software update - what should I do now?
I have not turned it off but it has been stuck in the same spot for 30 minutes now and I'm not sure what to do next since the screen says to NOT turn it off until done. Please help.

If it hangs much longer you may need to disconnect and then grab a micro USB to restore through iTunes

My ipod touch flashes the apple logo and the lock screen. How do I fix it?

My ipod touch 4th Generation will flash from the Apple Logo to my locked screen. Although when I plug in my headphones everything works perfectly. I have not had this ipod very long and i have already recieved a new one from Apple before. I have also tried reseting it as well.

First try restoring the iPod from backup.
Next try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

My Apple ID has been locked, no outstanding payments, lots of apps so a new Apple ID is not an option. How do I unlock it?

My apple acout has been locked for about a year or longer now because clickandbuy tried to withdraw money from my account but it rejected automatic transfers so I ended up having to pay it through my bank. It has been paid for a long time but my account is still locked so I can´t even purchase FREE apps. This is a real hassle for me since making a new apple ID is not an option (I have a lot of epensive apps on my account).
TL;DR: Is it possible to get my account unlocked?
Kind regards & happy holidays,
Nick Wiliams

How did you get iOS 6 with an iPhone 3GS? I need help updating my software on my iPhone I have iOS 4 and can't figure out what to do.

Am I the only one that has had every charging cable (for my iPhones and my iPads) fail? Very frustrating. I got used to quality products from Apple but seems the small stuff is being overlooked nowadays.

I have yet to have a cable for my iPad 3, iPad 4 or iPhone 5 fail. I have multiple cables for each device without any failures.

As I can use my iphone in Costa Rica if you buy from apple miami and is locked to AT

As I can use my iphone in Costa Rica if you buy from apple miami and is locked to AT & T??

There is nothing you can do.
There is nothing AT&T can do.
There is nothing Apple can do.
If you wanted to use the phone internationally, you should have gotten an unlocked phone. You are stuck with AT&T.

My apple tv seems to have frozen during update. What do I do ?

Hi iphoneozqld,
If your Apple TV appears to have stopped updating, I would recommend a restart, and if issues continue, a restore:
