AppleTV and ethernet

Here goes-
If you read this article on syncing advice from Apple:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305254
It seems to me that a permanent ethernet connection from my AEBS to my AppleTV (when it arrives) is the best solution.
My question is- what kind of ethernet cable do I need for this, I've looked on Amazon, will this one be ok:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cat5e-RJ45-Ethernet-Network-Cable/dp/B000IAHNKC/ref=pdsbs_ce4/203-2958914-6953559?ie=UTF8&qid=1174931801&sr=8-20
Any help would be appreciated

I can tell you that Airport Extreme "n" > Ethernet >
Express "g".
The speed of any 802.11 network depends greatly on the distances between wireless devices, the type & size of any interfering objects between them, & the presence & strength of interfering signals in the area. Additionally, the wireless bandwidth is shared by all devices using it, while in switched Ethernet networks each device with a direct connection to the switch has its own full bandwidth connection.
IOW, your ranking may not apply in other locations, or even your own, should other wireless networks or interfering sources appear in it.

Is an AppleTV and Wireless Router Needed for Mirroring Screen?

Is an AppleTV and a Wireless Router Needed for Mirroring from a desktop monitor to an HDTV?

It is one way.
You can also use a mini Display Port to HDMI adapter, and an HDMI cable. A Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter works too.
You might be able to get away with an Apple TV and no WiFi router, if you use an Ethernet cable from the Mac to the Apple TV (never tried it, but it should work in theory).
You may even be able to use an adhoc network with an Apple TV and no WiFi router, but I think the setup would be annoying each time you wanted to mirror and you would give up internt access while the adhoc network was active.

Constant need to reboot AppleTV *AND* restart iTunes for Home Sharing to work

Environment:
iTunes Host Computer:
AppleTV's: Three. All Model A1469, All currently running latest version of OS, [7.1 (7003)]
Network: Wired Ethernet (1000MB) using three D-Link Green DSG-1008G dumb routers, one Apple Airport Extreme (running 7.6.4), and one AT&T DSL Gateway directly connected to the Airport Extreme WAN port.
Situation: Since the latest updates to OS 7 on the AppleTV, and 10.10 - Yosemite on the iTunes Host Computer, I've had issues with Home Sharing NOT being able to hold a connection between the AppleTV and the iTunes Host computer. This disconnect shows on up as a "...turn on home sharing in iTunes..." screen on the AppleTVs. (I should also note that you can't access Home Sharing during this interruption via another computer either. I've tried this, thinking it was an issue with the AppleTV, however, the computer just will not see the Home Share. Once iTunes is restarted, the Home Share shows up in the iTunes shared list.)
I actually think there are TWO problems here; 1) the AppleTV loss of connection to the Home Share, 2) The need to refresh the iTunes Home Share.
Problem 1 is demonstrated by this example: IF I restart iTunes, then wake an AppleTV to view content, I get the "...turn on Home Sharing..." screen. If, however, I do nothing else BUT reset the AppleTV, the Home Share works perfectly.
Problem 2 is demonstrated by this example: IF I wake an AppleTV, then reset that same AppleTV without restarting iTunes on the host computer, I get the "...turn on Home Sharing..." screen.
The ONLY way I don't get the "...turn on Home Sharing..." screen is when I reset the AppleTV, AND restart iTunes. Somehow I don't think this is the way this should be working.
NOTE: In all of these scenarios, I've never had to re-login to Home Sharing on the iTune host. The credentials are working.
NOTE 2: I've completed ALL of the Apple recommended troubleshooting steps, and a good number of other ones suggested by this forum, including renaming the host computer, changing the Home Share Name, reissuing IP addresses, rewiring the network, opening or shutting off of all firewalls, etc.
Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

HT204400 The AppleTV icon does not appear on the menu on my iMac. I am running Yosemite and have purchased the latest AppleTv and upgraded the software.

Trying to get my TV to mirror my iMac Screen. Have Yosemite 10.10 , purchased the latest AppleTv and upgrade the software. Both are connected to my network through an Ethernet connection and Wi-Fi. Why cannot see the icon and connect to Apple TV?

Hi tallsweet,
The article linked below is a great resource for troubleshooting Airplay Mirroring issues, like the one that you’ve described where your iMac isn’t showing the Airplay icon.

AppleTV and Time Capsule

I am wondering if it is possible to use a Time Capsule with AppleTV, instead of streaming from an Apple Device(s) [iPhone, iPad, iPod (touch) and/or a Mac computer. AppleTV has Wi-Fi and Ethernet. It would seem that you could use a Time Capsule like a DVR. Am I mistaken in thinking that a thing is possible?
I would appreciate any suggestions/advice/opinions about my query. I would like NOT to use a non-Apple product(s) to achieve DVR function with an AppleTV. I know there other streaming devices that included mass storage for DVR-like function.
Thank You for your time, H &J

I have AppleTV and Ipad2 running VJay app to my TV over a private cisco router disabled firewall but I keep loosing the video on my TV after a few minutes what can I do?

I also get this problem on my iPad, so probably not related to the AppleTV. On the iPad I restarted Airport Extreme this time, and then the iPad saw my Home Sharing.
So to recap, restarting the router or Airport Express allowed the iPad and AppleTV to see Home Sharing. Restarting AppleTV also allows AppleTV to see Home Sharing.
So does anyone have any idea?
Thanks

Use airport for internet and ethernet for local?

Hi. Ive searched around and cant find an answer for this.
I have a 27" imac connected to my router and all works fine for accessing the internet.
I have several other devices close by that I want to connect via ethernet. If i connect the imac to another router via ethernet I can browse my local devices but loose internet connectivity. It is as if the imac will suspend the airport connection while the ethernet cable is connected. I don't want my second router to act as a bridge as it doesn't support N speeds.
Essentially, I want the imac to use airport for internet and the ethernet port for local files.... The only workaround I have is to unplug the ethernet cable from the back of the imac when i want to use the internet. I'm hoping it's just a DNS issue, but cant seem to resolve it.
I do not need internet connectivity for the other devices and don't see how i can do that without enabling the wireless side of my second router and then creating a bridge...
Any suggestions?

It is as if the imac will suspend the airport connection while the ethernet cable is connected.
The Connection Order on your iMac is set so that if both AirPort and Ethernet are "on", the iMac will give priority to the Ethernet connection.
If you want to configure your iMac so that it gives priority to an AirPort connection if both AirPort and Ethernet are "on", give this a try:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and open Network
Click on the small gear icon at the bottom of the connection list on the left
Click on Set Service Order and drag AirPort to the top of the connection order list
Click OK, then click Apply
Now, if both AirPort and Ethernet are active, your iMac will give priority to the AirPort connection. If you want to connect using Ethernet, you will have to turn AirPort off by clicking the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of your computer screen.

Home Sharing not working between wireless PC's / devices and ethernet wired PC's on the same router.

Home Sharing is not working between wireless PC's / devices and ethernet wired PC's on the same router. I installed a new Verizon FIOS ActionTec MI424WR GigE wireless / ethernet router, replacing the original FIOS router. With the old router Home Sharing worked fine across and among all iOS and Windows wired and wireless devices. With the new router Home Sharing works between and among the Wired PC's but not between the wired PC's and the Wireless connected PC's or iOS devices. Home Sharing also works between and among the wireless connected PC's and iOS decices but not between them and the wired PC's.
Only the router was changed. No changes were made to any of the devices except all were updated with the latest version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 and the iSO devices were updated to iOS vrsion 6.01. Three PC's are wired and all are running Windows 7. There also is a Windows Home Server connected to the router by ethernet port. It does not run iTunes but does provide WebDAV services to my iOS devices. This works fine. Two PC's are wireless, one running Windows 7 and one running Windows 8. All of the PC's are connected to the same (new) router via it's ethernet ports and it's wireless access point. Two of the wired PC's are connected via a high-speed ethernet hup that is connected to the router (Home Sharing works fine between the two PC's on the hub and the PC on the router). All wired and wireless devices on the router are visible and members of the router's Home/Office virtual network.
All of the PC's are visible in the Windows network and all shared files are accessable from all PC's, both wired and wireless.
Obviously the router seems to be the issue, something between the ethernet and the wireless access point components. I checked the settings and found nothing that would prevent Home Sharing between the wired and wireless devices. There is no setting that isolates the wireless network. I have done the following:
Read the router user manual and checked all the settings
Rebooted the router and tested.
Turned off the router's firewall and tested.
Home Sharing is turned on all the devices and all use the same Apple ID.
Restarted iTunes and tested.
Verified iTunes is "Allowed" in each PC's firewall.
Again, I can Home Share between the two wireless PC's but not between either of the wireless PC's and any of the wired PC's. I can Home Share between my iPads and iPhones and either of the two wireless PC's but not with any of the wired PC's. I can Home Share between any of the wired PC's but not between any wired PC and a wireless PC or iOS device.
I hope someone may have had a similar problem and has a fix suggestion. I'm stumped! I have a;so contacked ActionTec and awaiting an answer.

Solution from ActionTec is:
Log into your router.
Click the Advanced icon
Cclick Yes
Click on the IGMP Proxy
Select Disable
Click Apply

I have the latest AppleTV and Ipad, I cannot get home sharing.

I have the latest AppleTV and Ipad. I cannot get home sharing working, all settings are correct but nothing happens. I returned to the apple store who connected TV box directly to network with cable and home sharing worked between the 2 devices.
I went home and switched on, it worked (both on wifi). Next day tried again, thinking it was all there and nothing.
I tried the tips on the community pages without success. I called Apple helpline, they ran through all my settings which were correct, but still nothing, after 2/3 days they called me back to tell me to wait for Apple software update to solve this problem !!
is something happening on this issue, please can someone tell me. On my old Ipad I just used a Component cable, but this will not work with the new pad, I got the adaptor plug and nothing happens, no output.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I'd have to Agree, You checked on iTunes to make sure it was Turned on? Check your Router make sure it's working incase, cause sometimes it's the little Things that make it not work.

HT3819 Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. chI have checked all IDs, rebooted iTunes, AppleTV, and my router, eck port settings in my firewall. Nothing works. Is it me or did this update screw things up?

Hi,
I tried everythink, but same as before!
- droppings ot the main screen
- loosing Home Share
now even on iPads !
Frustrating!
I'm now more than convinced that this is caused by the latest iTunes version.
As some others stated in other threads .... it seems that Apple doesn't really take care of this problem. So what if, if we could make them feeling the same pain as we do. ... Just by dropping them a mail as soon as we have the problem again. Not more often, we don't want to be unfair, but everytime it happens.
I found this feedback site http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I will start now with this.... maybe this will help to rise a little bit of attention

This is the mailbody I always use
Hello all,
Since the last update to iTunes Version 10.6.1 (7) streaming content (Movies and TV shows) to Apple TVs and iPads has two major problems:
- Home Sharing is lost during streaming (streaming stops even if a large portion of the content is already preloaded)
- streaming stops and the main screen pops up (Home Sharing still available)
This happens sometime after some minutes, sometimes after several hours, but it surely happens.
I followed every advice I could found on this support website. There are now a lot of threads following this issue.
Sometimes it seems getting better, but hours later the same isues occured again. Watching content on this enviroment is a real pain and very frustrating.
As many others I'm now convinced that the latest update of iTunes caused this problem.
Our family enviroment contains the following Apple products:
- iTunes on a Win7 32 bit Noname PC (all content)
- second iTunes on a iMac with OS 10.6.8 (all content)
- third iTunes on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 (daughter, only selected content)
- fourth iTunes on a Win7 32 Samsung Notebook (son, only selected content)
- all iTunes sharing the same Home Sharing ID
- 2 Apple TV second generation
- 1 Apple TV first generation
- 2 iPod touch (bought last year)
- 2 iPads (second generation)
all firmware or software are on latest available patchlevel.
At this moment, I can not recomend to others to buy this products.
I will drop this feedback everytime my famiily and I facing this problem... just to help you to get a better feeling of the urgency of this issue.
Thanks for every effort in advanced.

Access to serial and ethernet port in FPGA for cRIO-9068

hi
i want to know if i can Access to serial and ethernet port in FPGA for cRIO-9068 like camera IP
thanks for help

The Ethernet hardware interface in the cRIO is not directly connected to the FPGA backplane in a way that you could directly access it. Even if you could it would be a pretty bad idea to try to do. A fully operational TCP/IP network stack implementation in the FPGA would not leave much resources for anything else even on the biggest FPGAs available. That doesn't include support for the typical image compression algorithmes which are even more complicated to implement on FPGA. Even if you would go to highly optimized VHDL code directly it would be a pretty difficult thing to do!
In fact implemenintg the MAC and PHY of an ethernet interface on the FPGA is totally trivial in comparison. The IP level could also be implemented fairly easily in the FPGA but anything above that is going to give you bad headaches and still will be very limited in number of connections and packet sizes it can support.

Just updated my AppleTV and now it won't Sign in to my iTunes Account

So, in Apple's infinite wisdom, they decided that I needed to upgrade my Apple TV (2) device.
Not only did it take bloody ages to do, it now won't let me sign into my iTunes Store account so I can't view any of my purchased items or buy new stuff!
The password is correct and the only error message that actually shows is "Could Not Sign In". That's it. The WiFi is connected and it appears to be working.
Anyone got any ideas as to how to solve this so I can actually give Apple more $$$?

There seems to have been a store glitch preventing you logging in or buying things - it seems to be fixed - restart AppleTv and try again.

I'm on a windows laptop using iTunes sharing through the family to connect with Apple TV.
After choosing the folder of photos to be shared and displayed on the appletv and when I choose to show on screen, they are not shown in the order they are in the original folder.
How to pair show in a certain order, for example, sorted by name.

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

Both thunderbolt display and ethernet stopped working at the same time

I use recent Macbook pro 13inch retina. I use both of thunderbolt ports on ethernet and display.
I was messing around with application, and I found chess game. I played it for while than my display and ethernet suddenly stopped working.
I do know ethernet and display is working fine because My roommate still have access to the ethernet, and My xbox still works on my display monitor.
So, I suspected its thunderbolt problem, and I reinstalled Mavericks twice and reseted SMC and NVRAM, which didn't solve anything.
Do you have any suggestion before I take this computer to Apple store?

So the ports still work, and the display still lights up when you use it with your xbox? Are you sure about the xbox part, I didn't think the thunderbolt display worked with an xbox.

Do you have the LED Cinema display? Look at the back, do you have 3 USB ports or 3 USB ports, firewire and ethernet?

How do I increase image of iPad when projecting through AppleTV and projector?

I have several AppleTVs hooked to either NEC or Mitshbishi projectors. From iPads I connect to the AppleTVs via AirPlay and mirror. The problem is that the iPad projected image is small and cannot be increased that much. I have messed with resolution on both the AppleTVs and the projectors but the image size doesn't increase that much, even when I hit the Magnify button on the projector's remote. It's especially small when holding the iPad in portrait, but increases somewhat while in landscape, but never completely fills the projector screen like the AppleTV homescreen or while projecting a laptop image. Is there a way to increase the size of the projected iPad image?

I have this same issue.
Is there an app that would work better for this?
I'd much rather use a text app in portrait mode, but if needed I can make snapshots of the screen and use images. But I also need the image or document scaled as large as possible on the projector screen.
Does anyone know of an app I should be using or solution?
I am a worship leader at a small church. I want to mirror my ipad from the platform so the other musicians can see the lyrics and chords. My ipad needs to be in portrait mode. Again, I'd much rather use a text app, but can work around using a image if I must.
Thank you for your time,
Dave
