Apple TV Setup Problems - Buffalo Router keeps crashing / update keeps failing

So I've been having a multitude of problems getting my brand-new Apple TV (3rd generation) set up and working. Let's start with the fact that no matter what I try, I can't seem to upgrade its firmware (which I figure is step 1 to getting everything else working).
In general, it seems that my problems are related to my router. I have a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 that's a few years old. No firmware updates, I've checked. Doesn't seem to have *any* firewall settings. But whenever I try to connect my Apple TV to this router, the following will occur:
- I will be unable to connect or sign in to the iTunes Store via the Apple TV
- I will be unable to update the Apple TV's system software
- The router will inevitably stop responding to all connected devices, requiring me to manually restart it.
And *here's* a fun development: so having gone through the above multiple times, I try connecting the Apple TV to my (Mac) computer and try a system restore through iTunes (latest version). Not only does the download fail (see screenshot below for error), but the router will stop responding/crash *yet again*, just as if I'd had the Apple TV connected directly to it!
Does anyone know what's going on here, and how I might go about fixing it? Thank you.

Given all the problems you've had I would suggest an erase and reinstall using Disk Utility in the Recovery Volume (command - R or hold down the option key during a restart).

  • Airport Express & Apple TV Setup Problems

    I am having some strange problems with my network. First, I reset my Airport Express and went through the steps of connecting it to stream music, however, the Airport Utility will not recognize it after restarting (I can do a hard reset and it will find the unit, but then hangs up over and over at the same point).
    Also, at the same time, my Apple TV is showing in iTunes, can stream music and movies, but is not showing in the Airport Utility and will not sync.
    I am not sure what I might have changed...any ideas

    I am on 10.5.8. When I do a hard reset the airport Express, the computer finds it, however, after going through the steps to add it to my network to stream iTunes, it restarts and the computer can't find it (light continuously blinks amber).
    The AppleTV is showing in my iTunes, but NOT in my list of wireless devices and it won't sync. So it does stream movies and music, just won't sync. When I try and sync it, I get a firewall error, but I have my firewall settings to allow all incoming devices.
    Should I just reset everything and try and start over?

  • HT1551 Apple TV setup problem.

    When I set up my Apple TV the screen turns on with the apple logo for about one second and then turns off again. I have no sound issues. If I hit the remote the lady makes all sorts of noises in a sped up voice. Any suggestions?

    Do as it says and contact iTunes customer support instead of posting to these user to user technical support forums.

  • Apple TV setup problem

    I am trying to connect new apple tv to my home network and new LG HDTV.  I am able to play audio from my ipad (itunes), but am not getting any video signal.  Also, I can't get apple tv menu so show up on my tv screen.  Can anyone help?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    How are you connecting your new Apple TV to your TV, are you using HDMI, are you going through any Soundsystem.
    What type of content are you playing from your iPad to the Apple TV.

  • Apple TV Setup problems

    I just bought the update Apple TV and I have been unsuccessful at setting it up to work through my Samsung DLP Progreesive HD widescreen TV Model HLM507W). It does not have an HDMI receptacle (although it does have a DVI receptacle), so I amusing Component cables to connect. When I select the appropriate input component source onscreen for the Apple TV, the TV tells me "Not Supported Mode". I also set the aspect ration to Wide so as to address the 1080i required setting, still leaving me with "Not Supported Mode" admonition. Any suggestions as to what I need to do to successfully set it up? Thanks

  • N95, route 66 patch update causes fail

    I had installed route 66 ok on my nokia n95, but of course i found that the internal GPS would not work with this App, so i found there was a patch available and guess what it said that the patch was to fix the use of the internal gps, so away i went and installed the patch on the phone.. then to my amazement the aplication would not load at all, something about security on a file. can anyone help here as the route 66 people dont seem to want to answer my mails.
    thx in advance.

    I used the Route66 version 7 patch and it worked fine with my N95 8GB, however I did it on a 'clean' install. Like the previous poster, I would suggest you either uninstall Route66 or better, backup then reformat the phone and try again.

  • Router keeps initiating session on aux port

    Hi all,
    I have a situation where I telnet to routerA. This router has, via its AUX port, a connection to routerB on the console-port.
    So I can normally do a reverse telnet from routerA to routerB. (via the lo0 on port 2001 on routerA)
    Problem is, routerA keeps trying to connect to routerB, thereby causing line 1 (for the AUX port) to be busy most of the time.
    Ergo, I'm having trouble connecting to routerB (If I try a couple of times, I usually succeed after a while)
    I can also confirm the login attempts when I do "monitor traffic line 1" (line 1 being the aux-port), and also in the ACS I see a lot of Failed login attempts from routerA with caller-id async
    I don't understand why routerA is tryiing to login to routerB, nor how to stop it while leaving my access intact ofcourse
    routerA
    interface loopback0
    ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x
    line aux 0
    session time-out 5
    modem inout
    transport preffered none
    transport input all
    transport output all
    routerB
    line con 0
    logging synchronous
    login local
    Any suggestions would be welcome....

    Hi Richard,
    this has solved it indeed, thanks a lot! Though it's unclear why the routerA was setting up sessions in the first place, at least its not doing so anymore.
    regards

  • Apple TV streaming problems with itunes

    Apple TV streaming problems. Since recent last update to AppleTV when I try to streams movie or tv show from iTunes sometimes it is fine sometimes it takes hours (Hd or Sd). No problem with netflix. Wifi is not super strong in location but this was not a problem at all before update. Any suggestions?
    Paul

    ok.
    this is not a solution to your problem, but you didn't need to do that just to remove it from appletv. you could have simply unticked the item in your library and that would have made it not available to appletv. you could also have amended your sync options. you don't need to delete something from your library just to remove it from appletv.
    however back to your problem. it sounds like the appletv is not syncing the changes to your library. you should restart your appletv and see if that forces the change.

    Hi, bamboo64. 
    Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Once this is done test the results.  If the issue persists, I have included a couple troubleshooting articles that I would recommend going through. 
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store

  • RV320 router keeps restarting (probably crashing)

    Since we have installed the router with very simple configuration a few weeks ago, the router keeps rebooting at random interval, usually twice or more a day. We tried hard reseting it, and I also found a new firmware to which I upgraded the router a few days ago (from 1.1.0.09 to 1.1.1.06), but it still does the same thing.
    I have logging turned on, but the only relevant messages I see in the logs are those when it already restarts (rv320 : System is up). So I don't know how or why it crashes.
    The only features we use are Site-to-site IPSEC VPN termination and DHCP server. It is in gateway mode, so firewall and NAT is active. But I turned off or unconfigured basically everything else.
    What could I do to have this solved?
    Is there any way to extract more information, probably some kind of trace or crashdump, or debug logs from the router?

    We have just replaced the router with the same type.
    Uploaded same firmware, same config.
    The router still keeps on rebooting!
    In the system log there is nothing about why it is rebooting, I only see "System is up" message.
    However I've just noticed that in the Incoming Log Table I have these messages, which I don't really understand:

    The internet connection is a 120Mbps/25Mbps leased line. I know that some users have torrent running, even though it is forbidden.
    Is it possible that this "high performance" router still has the good old problem of open connections count limit, so because of a lot of half open and established connections caused by torrent make the router deplete its resources and thus reboots?
    Rebooting happens more often during working hours, this might indicate that it could be related to resource usage.
    What is the theoretical connection count this router should be able to handle?
    Do any of you have similar problems?

    setup problem, windows xp, firefox upgrade to 4 and asked to reboot but did not progress. keeps asking to restart even if I try to remove

    Hi marsano,
    Usually the only reason it will ask you to reboot is if there is a file that must be modified that the updater doesn't currently have access to. You should try running the Firefox program once as Administrator:
    * Right-click the icon and choose ''Run as Administrator''
    If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
    # Download a fresh copy of Firefox from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/fx/ Mozilla download page] and save the file to the desktop.
    # [[Uninstalling Firefox|Uninstall]] your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before running the new installer.
    # Run installer
    Remember that you don't want to remove personal data when uninstalling. That way you'll still have your personal information.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I am trying to connect my new iMac to my Buffalo router.  I forgot my router password, so I reset it and it is working.  I can't figure out how to reset my router password and lock it on my iMac.

    I am connecting my new iMac to my Buffalo router.  I forgot my router password so I pushed the reset button and my computer was able to connect.  The problem is, I can't figure out how to set my new password and lock the router.  I went to the Buffalo website and downloaded the CD, as I can't find that either.  I can't open any of it because it says it is Windows and can't open it.  I am new to Apple!

    Ah, new to routers too.
    Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
    To explain everything would require writing a book here.
    But this is what you want basically.
    Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
    1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
    (guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
    2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
    3: Guest access on devices and computers only.  Passwords written down and stored.
    4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
    If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
    What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
    Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.
