Apple TV stops after one song

Hi All,
I recently bought my Apple TV (3rd gen) and have the most recent update (5.2). I also have the most up to date iTunes (11.0.1). The thing is that when I want to enter the library on my laptop (windows 7) Apple TV freezes after one song. It loads the next song but then stops. I still can go back in the menu, but the connection with the library is lost.
I also have a desktop computer (windows 7) running with a different iTunes library, and when i stream music from that library everything works fine. So my guess is that there is something wrong in the laptop (ACER Travelmate). I tried loads of things but they all do not seem to work:
- switched off windows firewall
- switched off IP/V6
- reinstalled the bonjour software
- reinstalled the itunes software
- I use a TP-link router with up to date firmware
Any ideas what might cause this problem? Is there maybe any other software that could be blocking my connection?
Tnx!

I have the same problem. I think it is disgusting that nobody at Apple has responded to your post. I see no evidence that Apple cares about this bug, which renders Airplay (on Apple TV) useless.

Playlists stop after one song

I am having a problem where my playlists stop playing after one song in Itunes. This does not happen in my IPOD lists just Itunes.
I ran the setup and repaired - same problem
Reinstalled - same problem.
Deleted playlists and created new ones - same problem.
Highlighting several songs and playing - prob remains.
Any help would be appreciated. If it is a settings issue, not sure why it doesn't affect the IPOD songs played through Itunes. Only the Itunes playlists stop playing.
Appreciate any help.

i was hoping it was something simple. (after a hard day in Installations & Upgrades, it's nice when something goes fairly smoothly.) glad to help!
love, b

Airplay cuts out after one song

I am having a problem with airplay cutting out after each song when using Itunes. I tunes continues to play but tracks but is not transmitting via airplay.
configuration is as follows:
Airport time capsule is connected via wireless to airport express, airport express is connected to wireless internet router via cat 6 RJ45, Apple TV connected via wireless to airport express.
It is not physically possible to connect all devices together with cable.
Time capsule is set to extend network via wireless connection to airport express and both are configured for 5GHz.
I can connect my MAC Book Pro mid 2012 to either the Time capsule or airport express.
Aiport express is connected to a Sound sytem and apple TV is also connected to separate Sound System.
When playing tracks through ITunes and selecting both or either airport express or apple TV airplay cuts out. If I connect directly to my old internet router it also cuts out, indicating there is a possible problem with the WI-FI connection but each device has a perfect connection due to their proximity. If I connect my MAC Book Pro directly to the airport express in the same room and within 4 ft of each other airplay cuts out after one track so that does not indicate a signal error.
This problem has only started recently and did not happen on my windows PC and if I play directly from my IPad or Iphone the music streams perfectly but I can only stream to one device at a time.
Current configs:
Airport express Version 7.6.4
Time Capsule version 7.7.1
Itunes version 11.1.3 (8)
MAC Book Pro OS 10.8.5 mid 2012
Apple TV (latest update)
Obvious things I have done:
Checked for updates
Rebooted every device several times
Tried moving every device closer together (made no difference)
Re-rooted all light aircraft and switched off every thing that could possibly that transmits device in the house
Does anybody have a solution to this problem.

I have this same problem.
I am using an Alienware Aurora desktop PC running Windows 8.1. My music library is stored on Synology Diskstation 1513+ NAS. The PC, Playmaker and NAS are all wired into a Netgraer D6300 router.
I have no problem playing iTunes through my PC speakers or headphones but when I use Airplay to play either through my Apple TV OR my Bang and Olufsen Playmaker (through to B&O speakers) the music stops after one track even though iTunes is still playing the next track in the playlist. If I stop and restart, or if I choose another track it plays through to the end and the problem starts again. If I play wirelessly from my iPhone through the Playmaker and the B&O speakers I have no problem. So it seems to be fairly and squarely an Airplay issue?
This was intermittently happening but is now happening all the time. GRRRRRR!

Quit all other programs and open Disk Utility
Select your "MacintoshHD" drive on the left and indented and click Erase > Erase Free Space > Zero and let it complete.
Also run First Aid > Repair Disk and permisisons.
If Repair disk gives a error, you have a bigger problem, if repair permisisons fixes and completes, even if it fixes the same thing twice if you click it again, it's ok. Apple just changed things.
You should be able to download the file sucessfully this time, if not, take it to another location with better/faster internet.
If not then run through this list

Stopping songs from automatically stopping after one play

Hey guys,
After doubleclicking a song on the playlist, the song plays but then instead of playing another song stops showing the apple logo. This happens no matter if the songs are played in libary, playlists or party shuffle or if songs are highlighted. How can we rectify this so each song plays after one another?
Thanks
P.S. I'm Using Itunes V4.7 for Windows
Dell Inspiron I6400 Windows XP

hmmmm. are all the little checkboxes to the left of your tracknames unchecked? (that can produce the symptoms you're reporting.)
to check all (or uncheck all) your songs, hold down Ctrl and click on one of the boxes.

TS2972 my homesharing turns off after one song from my itunes to my apple tv . Remedy?

Apple tv plays one song from my itunes then stops, says homesharing needs to be turned on. It's already on in itunes.

I'm bumping this up because I'm having the same problem... Does anyone know how to fix this?

My playlist stops playing after one song.

My playlists have all the songs checked on my computer. Today my iPhone is playing only one song at a time on a playlist. When I try to click the "start" arrow to get the next tune playing, nothing happens. I have to log out of the playlist and then select it again. I've tried this with shuffle feature on and off - I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've looked at iTunes 11 on my Windows7 Pro computer and it is not giving me any clues. Hints are welcome and I'm an experienced computer user.

Hello, Apple? Help?
I don't believe you are doing anything wrong - I believe it's an Apple iTunes issue.
I'm having a similar problem with Itunes on my iMac. I'm playing iTunes on my iMac, to my Apple TV, and can't get iTunes to play more than one song at a time no matter what I try.
HOWEVER: When I play iTunes locally (Computer), even with external speakers - iTunes random/repeat works fine. So it seems to me to have something to do with mirroring/playing to an external device.
iMac, OSX 10.8.3, iTunes 11.0.2 (26)

ITunes stops after every song

Hey there, sorry for the potential stupid question. I've been using iTunes for a long time now, but I've never encountered this before. Basically, the title says it all. After every song, iTunes goes idle. This occurs in playlists, the library...everywhere. Maybe I checked something random without intending to, but I've looked around and can't figure it out. Any help would be more than, um, helpful. Thanks!

Welcome to Apple's user-to-user discussion forums.
Did you accidently uncheck all the tracks in your library? Are the boxes in front of all the titles unchecked? If so, place your cursor over one of the unchecked boxes and Command-Click. All of the boxes should turn blue and will now contain a checkmark. iTunes will stop if there are no checkmarked tunes to move to after the currently playing track.

My ipod stops after afew songs during shuffles

Since updating to the 1.2 firmware, my 60GB ipod will stop after 20-30 songs, show the Apple logo and then return to the menu. Is this a problem others are experiencing? Can it be rectified because it's hugely annoying and frustrating.

HT1595 returns to main screen after one song

My 2nd Generation Apple Tv returns to main screen after playing one song. How do I correct this?

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.

Playback stopping after each song

Everytime I try and play a playlist, or album from the library, the songs do not continuously play. After each song I have to restart the next song. They all play fine, they just no longer continuously play. Did I hit a button or something that I shouldn't have? I have looked all over trying to find the answer to this one, but could find no topic that addressed this.
TIA

Are there check marks beside all the songs in the playlist/library? Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other. If you hold down the CRTL key and click beside any song in your list then all the check boxes can be toggled on or off: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

Stopping after each song has finished

Is it possible to set up the iPod shuffle so that when a song has finished playing it stops/pauses. Instead of continuing to the next song?

Haven't tried it on a shuffle, but here is an idea.
In iTunes, set up a playlist of the stuff you want on the shuffle. Now UNCHECK all the boxes in front of those songs. Also select all then do a get info and check the box to "skip when shuffling". I am not sure if that setting will effect how the songs play on the shuffle or not, but worth a try. If the shuffle does use that setting, then when you play a track, it should stop after that track since all the songs on the shuffle are unchecked and will be skipped.

Itouch closes out of music after one song

Problem: When I listen to one song the music application closes out and stops the music.
I currently use a first generation Itouch and have had it for about 2 years. I have tried the soft restart (Holding down the off button and sliding it to power down), and I have also tried the hard restart (hold off button and home button then turn it back on). Both of these haven't fixed anything. I haven't tried restoring it yet since the problem occured during vacation and I hate restoring and re-syncing everything.
I'm curious to know if restoring may actually help a problem like this or if the Itouch may as well be dead.
Thanks

I think the original poster did try reset, according to how the manual describes it (holding the power and menu button at the same time). I tried it too, and it didn't work. I'm probably gonna delete the iPod and restore it.
Is it best to "erase all content and settings", then restore. Or should I just follow the restore procedure alone, since the manual says that "restore" deletes as well?
