Apple TV wired, wifi or both?
My apple tv continues to fail to find my imac library. Airplay and anything from the internet works well.
I can get the imac to connect by going to the imac and taking it out of sleep. Ans i have got the wake from sleep option selected and home sharing all set up.
My Apple tv is conected to my imac through a power outlet ethernet adapter through my BT home hub.
I synch fine with iphone and ipad. Would it help if I switched on the imac wifi?
None of my Apple TV' s that can use AirPlay are connected by Ethernet. I did test with Ethernet when I first got them, but am not sure if it included mirroring at the time, pretty sure it included basic AirPlay.
Because of the way my network is set up though my iPad can be connected to one base station by wifi, my Apple TV to another base station by wifi, but the two base stations connected by Ethernet.

when i change slide mirroring from off to on ,my new i pad lost wi fi connection and apple tv lost wifi connection:ihave last software for both.Can u help me?thanks.
when i use i pad with apple tv for see my photo,youtube and movies all ok.I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

my wife and I have separate apple ID acts so that we could register our iPhones and iPads under our own names. Can I have my iMac synch iCloud with both apple ID's so that both our calendars end up on our iMac?
If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account. -
TS1398 Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi
Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi
not much response in here which surprises me...
Anyway... AS I am still looking for answers, I will share a couple of points that I realised...
in Airport Utility, I noticed that my iphone MAC address was actually showing as client connected, despite my phone network showing the spinning wheel next to the network name for ever and never actually connecting.
I am currently testing the router mode in Network to be on DHCP and NAT mode with a range from .2 to .200
My phone is now connected....
Everything seems to be ok and happy so far...
strange that this router and phone have worked together for at least a couple of years, the phone works everywhere else, and all other toys connect to my WIFI just fine. the list is as follow:
airport extreme
Zeppelin air
2x apple tv
2 ipads
iphone 4s
2 mac
1 pc
I have litterally just hard reset the router with a pin just now as a last resort... same...
I will leave the router as DHCP & NAT until a potential firmware or OS update... -
I want IOS 7 until Apple figures out wifi in IOS 8
Why can't I revert to IOS 7 until Apple figures out how to make wifi work in IOS 8? All of my devices have created wifi nightmares, both at home and at work, since IOS 8. At home, the router started freaking out the moment IOS 8 was installed. At work, wifi is useless since IOS 8. Apple has had numerous software revs to get this ironed out, and it continues to be a failure. I want to be able to roll back, why should this be prohibited?
Side note: I find it hilarious that I can't submit to this forum from an IOS device using Safari, I had to use my windows laptop. Awesome.No, I haven't contacted apple support, you got me there.
Since it occurred on both my iPad and iPhone when I updated to ios 8 (at roughly the same time), I think any reasonable person could assume that it's not faulty hardware.
My problem is that by the time I figured out it was IOS causing all my headaches and not my network hardware, Apple decided to stop signing IOS 7, so I couldn't revert. -
How do I set up an Airport Express as a hard wired wifi accesspoint?
How do I set up an Airport Express as a hard wired wifi accesspoint?
Please check out the following Apple Support article for configuring your routers for a "Roaming" network. In this case the AirPort Express would be connected back to your other wireless router by Ethernet and configured as a bridge. This would effectively make the Express perform as a Wireless Access Point.

HT4628 how to reinstall Mountain Lion if ethernet and wifi are both dead
For unknown reason my MBP network connection keep dropping on both Ethernet and WIFI after i came back from overseas. Been trying to recreate the network setting and retry, it works for a few seconds then went dead. Thinking of reinstalling OSX but, not sure how to perform it since both ethernet and wifi are both sort of dead.
Any advise will be appreciated.Head to your System Preferences > Network > Advanced and delete all the network connections.
Next head to your System Preferences > Data and Time and make sure it's correct and being updated with Apple's time server for your location.
Reboot and check the data and time is correct (PRAM reset is in order if it's not)
Connect via wifi and save the password in your Keychain when it asks.

Step by Step to fix your Mac -
I recently purchase an ipad2. I also have a mac laptop. Now, when I facetime call using my iphone to my ipad2 or mac, it states busy. how can i fix this problem? I have the same apple id e mail for both ipad2 and mac. it might be getting confuse now. I want to be able to face time also using my ipad2 to my laptop especially if one of the members of the family is traveling. Thanks.
thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

Hi I'm using a Mac Book Pro with a separate apple keyboard (wired). Randomly the keyboard will make a thudding noise like a key is depressed and stuck (which it isn't) which then stops when the keyboard is unplugged. I've tried rebooting, plugging it into another port and unplugging my mouse from it and it hasn't solved the issue. I also can't pin point when it does it, it seems to be random so sometimes, like now it's fine and then others it does it every few minutes. I'm reluctant to throw the keyboard out if there is a chance it can be fixed. Any ideas?
You cannot use any additional devices on the keyboard's USB ports when used in this fashion (except perhaps ONE low power Apple mouse). Anything more draws too much power and may make the keyboard malfunction. In general, keyboards do not tend to complain about low power, they just stop working properly.

Apple should create wifi calling capability
Apple should have wifi calling.
They do with a FaceTime audio call, which can be with other iOS devices that support it and Macs.
