Apple TV song streaming interrupted, very slow sync with keynote

When I try to play a song or a playlist from iphone (4S and 5)  or ipad (mini) via Airplay on Apple Tv, the music is interrupted several times, sometimes the first track, sometimes after 3 track, no rules. Wifi signal is good.
Other issue with Keynote on the iPad. I am trying to mirror a deck but it is very slow, I have to wait 2 to 3 sec between each slide
can someone help me?
thank you

Thanks for the reply. I used iStumbler on the MacBook Pro and could see three other networks besides my own, and they were all on Channel 11. Mine is on Channel 6 and, given there's no overlap between channels that are separated by 5 channels or more, there should be no interference.
However, the Apple TV reports more channels than iStumbler does and there's no way to know what channel they're on. (Hmmmm, maybe I should move the Mac to the vicinity of the ATV 2.)
However, my local network is involved when the MacBook Pro connects to the internet - I'm using Wi-Fi, not Ethernet - so, if the MacBook Pro can upload at 1MB/sec. to the internet (and that's throttled), why is it uploading at 50-100KB/sec. to the ATV 2?

  • ITunes 10.5 very slow syncing with idevices not a backup issue

    I have the latest itunes 10.5.2 installed on my 32 bit Windows 7 pc.  Ever since i upgraded my ipod 4 and iphone 4 to ios 5 it syncs very slowly with itunes (1 song aka 5 mb every 2 min and takes like 7 min to start syncing). i have tried restoring my phone and ipod with a new profile, making my ipod or iphone backup to icloud so that kills the long backup issue, reinstallled windows and just have itunes, reinstall itunes and wipeout the appledrivers then reinstall.  The devices sync fine when i use a mac that isnt mine. i also have tried outher windows pcs with no luck. im out of ideas and im tired of wating 4 hrs just for a audiobook or a movie to sync.

    Yeah seriously, I have my first gen iPhone and never had a issue with it. Blackberry always had a horrible desktop manager for the PC for YEARS and I always had to debug the issues myself for clients. Unfortunately for a lot of my clients the Blackberry is a better device for business, just horrible desktop software.
    Eventually I'll push my client to move over to hosted exchange server, But for right now before making that push, I need to resolve this issue with the Blackberry sync. I would hate for all the work and conversion over to the Mac to be wasted over a simple issue that possibly can be resolved by a simple setting I'm over looking.
    It's also a possibility the extremely slow syncing can be caused by years of unorganized entering of contacts, but trying to sort out over 2000 contacts would be near impossible for a person with a busy schedule.

    Cured the problem! Reinstalled an earlier version of itunes from oldapps.com (version 10) now everything works as it should. I would suggest that if you are experiencing these problems that you do the same. I must say that it is a brave business decision on behalf of apple to effectively lock out all windows 7 users from their products and sales channels and I can only wish them luck in this very shortsighted policy.

  • TS2972 Music played through Apple TV the streaming is really slow & jumpy

    I have just installed a new Apple TV & have my music library loaded in iTunes library on a new MacBook Pro. However, when I try to play music track through Apple TV the streaming is frustratingly slow and track often jams after a few seconds and/or become really jumpy etc. The wireless connection appears to be strong enough - showing full bars in the wireless icon on laptop. But the apple TV signal only shows 2/3 bars out of 5.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix? Do I need to compress the music files (from downloaded CD's) into a smaller file size or different format? I notice that music that I've downloaded from iTunes store seem to stream & play without any problem.
    Meanwhile the photo library loading is also painfully slow through Apple TV - assume this is due the same problem?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You need to get your network working better than it is.
    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.

  • Very slow sync

    I've been experiencing very slow sync times (2.5 min) since iTunes 9.0.3. I thought that it might be a bug in that version which would be resolved in 9.1, but the issue persists. I only ever sync Apps, the rest of the categories I manage manually, yet hitting the Sync button still results in iTunes hanging for 2.5 min whilst displaying the "Syncing iPod..." message. So far I've tried restoring my iPod, reinstalling iTunes and running diagnostics, which showed everything was working fine. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Update: If I choose not to sync Apps then the sync proceeds normally. This happens even after I tried deleting all Apps on the iPod and in iTunes.

  • I received an ipod touch 5th gen for Christmas.  The first songs i've downloaded and synced with my touch have created ghost songs.  They are only on my computer in itunes once but appear on my ipod twice, one copy that won't play.  I can't delete them

    The first songs i've downloaded and synced with my new touch have created ghost songs.  They are only on my computer in itunes once but appear on my ipod twice, one copy that won't play.  I can't delete them.  I've tried unticking all the music that was on the ipod via itunes and re-syncing, which in theory should delete all music from my ipod.  It does except for the 5 ghost songs.   So at present I have no music on ipod except the 5 ghost songs.   Has anyone got any ideas how I can get rid of these?  
    I had no problems with my ipod touch 4th, which I had for years.   Any help would be great.

  • Deleted songs on my iPod by sync with new Mac - ups! Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    deleted songs on my iPod when sync with new Mac - ups! However all songs are still on my iPad library. Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    You can use the transfer purchases feature to put the songs back into iTunes from the iPad - as long as the songs were purchased from iTunes.
    Connect the iPad, launch iTunes and then right click on the iPad name under devices and select Transfer Purchases. But ..... Before you do that - turn off auto sync first.
    Launch iTunes and the go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing Automatically. Check the box at the bottom that says that. Then click OK. Then you can connect the iPad to the new Mac to transfer the purchases.
    This will only work for music purchased from iTunes. If you have music ripped from CD's, you will need a third party app - like TouchCopy.
    You can also download the songs again in iTunes as long as you use the same Apple ID. But read this about downloading past purchases as there are some restrictions based on where you live.

  • My wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    My wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So, we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

  • Very slow connection with Mifi 4510L??

    I'm hoping someone here can give some guidance. I am having very slow connection with the 4510L we just got. Via test on speedtest.net I'm seeing download speed of .17 MBPS at times it was so slow the test was not completing. I normally have 1 or 2 bars on the mifi unit and have seen up to 3 at times. I drove into town and see the same range (1 to 3 bars). I have yet to see the 4G light come on except for prior to activation (would light solid green at times) since activating I have only seen the violet light for 3G.
    Verizon advertises full service both around our city (Richmond, VA) and at my more remote location in Hanover. I have been through the recommended resets and nothing seems to improve the connection speed. Could the unit itself be defective? Also, I've noticed when I go to a location website it thinks I am in Pennsylvania when I am in Virginia. Could the Mifi be trying to connect to a signal in that location for some reason (was refurbished device)
    Thanks for any help you can offer,
    Brian

    I was having problems but upgrading to 2.28 seems to have helped me in addition to a few other changes I made based on this review of the 4510L
    http://www.anandtech.com/show/4500/novatel-wireless-mifi-4510l-review-the-best-4g-lte-wifi-hotspot/4
    1) "selecting WPA2 Personal/PSK (AES)"
    2) "manually selecting a channel (instead of Auto) fixes almost all the instability problems"
    (I'm not sure if it actually worked as the diagnostics always shows channel 0 no matter what I picked.  I did try a couple before one - or the myriad of other things I tried - seemed to make a difference - at least for now - fingers crossed)
    3) "allowing for one to select between each network mode manually, so you can force 4G LTE, EVDO, 1xRTT, or all of the above. This is incredibly useful if you’re right at the cutoff for 4G LTE SINR"  (that's WWAN Preferred Mode LTE only for me)
    4) I also changed my 802.11 Mode to just one mode that works on both computers at my house
    5) I am also careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
    It is my only internet service due to my semiremote location (no cable etc) and when I first got it as a replacement for my dependable 2200 I was about to pull all my hair out.  I was "forced" into it because due to antenna issues on a local tower that supplies my 3G signal my 2200 wasn't even able to load my gmail account.  Verizon very helpful on that - call us if its still an issue in a "few weeks"!  However, when I inquired about the antenna's effect on a 4G signal, an intelligent tech was able to tell me that it was not the tower I would be getting a 4G signal off of - odd but I didn't question that possibility.
    It runs very very warm but I suspect having it on the charger and using it almost all day is part of that.  At first I was wondering if heat was part of the problem - going so far as to have it sitting on an ice pack to test that theory.  Of course then I had to wonder if maybe I was freezing it -lol.  I am careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
    I've been on it most of the day and it seems to be behaving well - so fingers crossed

  • Apple TV and/or Airport extremely slow syncing - Unique or common problem?

    This is my first post and I'd appreciate help.
    My Apple TV has worked fine for the last few weeks but started playing up last weekend. It now syncs either very slowly or not at all. Have tried every workaround suggested in this forum. Also spent 3 hours on phone with Apple technician this morning who could not diagnose problem (but has gone away to consult internally).
    Apple TV is (was) connected wirelessly to Airport Extreme which is connected via ethernet cable to iMac, with all the latest software installed on everything.
    Factory resets of both Apple TV and Airport Extreme worked for a bit, then same problem re-emerged. Direct ethernet connection of Apple TV to Airport Extreme also worked for a bit, but then same problem appeared, and then Apple TV disappeared from Devices list in iTunes and could not be recovered even after reboot. Direct connection to iMac also worked initially, but then same problem (slow syncing, then disappears from Devices list) re-emerged. Can see Apple TV in Devices in iTunes if wireless connection is restored, but only with extraordinarily slow syncing.
    Anyone know what the problem might be? Is it unique or common? Any suggestions for fixes?

    By current release software I was referring to the AEBS firmware, the Apple TV software and iTunes. You can run the "Check for Updates" tool for each to make sure that they are up to date.
    Since you reported the same problem when connected either by Ethernet cable or by wireless that would obviously rule out any wireless problems such as RF interference. The only possibilities left would be that something else is loading down your network or there is a hardware failure somewhere.
    If there is a bad component in the AEBS I would expect it to affect your computer as well as the Apple TV. If there is a hardware failure in the Apple TV I would expect it to show up whether syncing, streaming or watching movie trailers or YouTube videos.
    One other possibility might be that if you have any anti-virus software on your computer it might slow things down if it is scanning the files while they are syncing or streaming.

  • Can't recover songs and itunes very slow

    My computer crashed and had to be totally restored so I lost itunes and everything. I downloaded it again and proceeded to try to sync with my nano. First of all, itunes was running way slow...so slow that I thought the computer was freezing but its not. Itunes is the ONLY program that this happens to. When I plugged my ipod in it said it wasn't synced with this computer and gave me two options to sync it, both of which would have pretty much wiped everything off of it.
    I did some digging and found that I needed to get some software to pull the songs off of my ipod and put them back in itunes. I opted for Media Widget and it worked very well. It pulled all of the music off of my ipod and put it back into itunes. When I synce my ipod with itunes it started uploading the songs as expected but then I started getting messages similar to "this computer is not authorized to play (name of song)." I started looking into it and it is all of my purchased music from the itunes store. Its all in itunes but it won't upload to the ipod. So I thought I'd just create a few audio discs from the purchased playlist and then rip them into itunes and remake the playlist. Nope, itunes won't let me burn those songs to a disc, either.
    So, I'm frustrated and a little angry that I can't get music that I paid for back onto my ipod. Anybody have any suggesions? Also, why is itunes running slower than molasses in January?

    It seems I just needed to do a bit more digging. All I had to do was to authorize my computer in itunes and it loaded all of the songs to my ipod and everything is working again with the ipod. Itunes is still painfully slow and I can"t figure out why. It's the only program that runs like that and it was pretty slow even before my computer crashed. Anyone have any suggestions?

  • Slow synce with 10.5

    I have the 10.5 of itunes
    and when i am doing synce to any kind of apple device
    the synce is very slow.
    More than that when i tried to transfer purchased app to my computer it dosent transfer.
    and sometimes the itunes cause my computer to frize or stuck.
    It never happend with the last version so it dosent my computer.
    please fix it

    Yup, this is a well known problem to the discussion groups, but apple continues to deny it exists. The discussion boards are littered with different permutations of this same problem. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to matter which mac you have, as it is affecting MBP, Macbook, and Air. Booting into windows makes it disappear, which makes me believe it is likely due to 10.5.2
    I went to the apple store and (eventually) got a new Macbook, and I did not 'upgrade' to 10.5.2

  • Apple TV 1st Gen + iTunes 10 + Photo Sync (with Aperture 3) = No Sync

    I recently started to experience the same issues that others have reported regarding not being able to sync their Apple TV classic (1st generation) with iTunes 10.
    I grudgingly disconnected my Apple TV from iTunes which wiped out all the content. Then when I started a new sync, the Apple TV (and my iMac) froze when trying to connect.
    So, I disconnected them again, and quickly set the sync preferences to a "Custom" sync. After an hour of playing around with the settings, and turning on (one by one) syncing of video content, music and podcasts, I've narrowed it down ... to Photo syncing with Aperture.
    All of the other content that iTunes will let me select, syncs fine. I've re-synced my entire music library, but if I even setup iTunes to sync 1 photo from Aperture to my Apple TV ... freeze-o-matic.
    Anyone else run into this issue and/or been able to find a workaround to fix it?

    Finally found answer, many thanks to:

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.
