AppleTV constantly requires me to re-input network and iTunes passwords

Why does my Apple TV constantly require me to renter my wi-fi network and iTunes account passwords? This mostly happens after it has been shutdown; however last night it asked me to renter my iTunes password during the MIDDLE of watching a movie I rented. Any suggestions?
I I tried to update my software (currently 4.3) and it as says it's up to date...

i would change the wifi channel as interference would explain your issue

Is there a way to see content purchased on an ATV 2 on my ATV1 on the same network and iTunes account?

Can I view a TV show Impurchased on the ATV2 on my ATV1? They are on different floors in my house, same wifi network, same iTunes account. This seems crazy I can't see the TV shows I purchased on one ATV on the other. also, I can't download or see them on my MacBook pro in my iTunes library. any help would be appreciated.

Shouldn't be a problem, but you'd need to d/l them to iTunes on your MacBook first.

Weird Behavior on my Airport Network and iTunes

This will be a bit long. Set up a wifi network with a AP Extreme downstairs wired to my desktop, and an Express upstairs for my laptop and Airtunes. Worked great for awhilw but then kept getting kicked off. After searching the forum I tried to disable my firewall and everything was great- for awhile. Then I could not connect and needed to hard reset it all. Worked well again. Now a new problem.
With the AP Extreme and the desktop downstairs I get great internet access but iTunes does not show the speakers connected to the Express.
At the same time, Upstairs with the Express (solid green light) and the laptop I get great internet access and this iTunes sees the speakers connected to Express Airtunes. But it does not see the iTunes (and music)from the desktop PC. My wireless says I have an excellent signal to my network.
So: The computer with all the music does not see Airtunes. The computer with no music sees Airtunes but not the other computer with the music.
I checked and both are configured to see and display shared music.
I am sure that if I reboot it all it will work. But this constant rebooting is becoming a pain. Anyone have an idea? Thanks in advance.

Next time you want to change the network password.......change it on the Express first....and then on your main router. Then, as soon as you restart the main router, the Express already has the settings that it needs to join the network and it will join with no problems.
Now, you must reset the Express back to factory default settings and then set it up again. To do that......
Power off the Express for a minute
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after the 10 second hold, and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light status
The Express has now been reset and you can reconfigure it to join your "new" network now.

Guest Network and iTunes DJ

Is it possible for users connected to the guest network to use iTunes DJ for an iTunes library which is on a Mac connected to the main network?

The MAC address filtering is for the main wireless network and not for the guest network.
The guest network is different from your private wireless network. This is very convenient especially if you always have guests in your home who would like to access the Internet.
When guests connect to the Guest network, they can connect to the Internet but will not have access to computers and devices which are connected to your Valet or Linksys Wireless-N Router. The Guest network is a virtual network within your private network.
The Guest network operates on a different IP address range (192.168.33.x). This allows your guests to connect to the Internet without becoming a part of your private network.
The guest will need the password to the network if they want to access the Internet.

Is there any way to set up an Airport Extreme that had been previously used in a password protected network and the password was not provided by the seller ?

Background -
My original Airport Extreme Base Station failed (would not connect to the modem). I purchased a similar, if not identical base station on eBay. Unfortunately, the purchased base station apparently was used in a password protected network. For what it is worth, my son gave me a Netgear wireless router, but it leaves a lot to be desired. For one thing, I use to keep the cable modem in the basement along with the Airport base station, with a printer connected to the USB port. The Netgear device does not have a USB port and also requires that the computer (in this case, the eMac) used to set up the network be connected to one of the ethernet ports. This meant I had to move the cable modem and router into my bedroom, a very undesirable situation. It then occurred to me that the original Airport base station Wi-Fi function might still work, and tested this hypothesis and sure enough, the Wi-Fi function does indeed work I currently have both base stations powered on, with my printer connected to the original. Both base stations appear under my Network icon, but neither Airport Utility 5.4.2 or Airport Administrator Utility 4.2 see either base station. I can select the original base station as my network, connect to the printer or even my other computers, but as soon as I try to select the new one, it asks for the password. I would like to somehow reset this base station and then redefine the network name and encryption.

I would suggest that you perform a "soft" reset on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) that you just got from eBay. This type of reset will temporarily (5 minutes) disable both the base station and wireless security passwords so that you can access it with the AIrPort Utility to make the necessary changes.

How do i shut down an old network and create a new one

I have a network that requires a password. I changed the password, but people who were previously signed in can still access the network. How can I shut down the network and start a new one with a new password?

Change both the name of the wireless network and the password
Make sure that you are using WPA2 Security
If you give the password to anyone, you should assume that they will give it to someone else.

HT3819 Home Share issue: I have a Mac and Apple TV. Both are log into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view purchased movies on AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers. Itunes sidebar-no

Has anyone else found solution to Apple devices not 'seeing' each other on Home Share? I have a Macbook Air (new Nov'12) and Apple TV (new Dec'12). Software updated on both. Both are logged into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view movies purchased from iTunes on my AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers... and ... Itunes sidebar does not have a 'Shared' area at all. Help please as without this functionality, my Apple TV only provides portal to purchased (i.e. Netflix,...) content which I can get from Wii or Xbox.
I have already tried the following without success:
1. Homeshare DID work the first day after I setup Apple TV... but the next day it has not worked since then.
2. Powered off 30 sec then re-started (Apple TV & Macbook & iTunes login)
3. Checked Firewall settings per Home Sharing troubleshooting guide (correct settings)
4. Turning on Photostream in iPhoto and selecting iPhoto within iTunes and then checking to see if Photostream shows anything on AppleTV (it shows 'on' for my iTunes account but 'Zero' pictures found ... despite the >3,000 pictures showing avail in iTunes).
I also have 'Remote" app on my iPhone 4, with Home Sharing turned on (same Wifi network)... it has a very similar message as the Apple TV and same result that despite all devices having HomeShare 'on' they cannot see each other: "Remote will automatically find the iTunes libraries and Apple TVs that have Home Sharing turned on using the account xxxx (it lists my correct itunes account name)."

I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

Homeshare worked on my PC until recent iTunes update. Cannot get homeshare to work on PC as previous. When I use my MacBook Pro on the same network, iTunes/AppleTV works just fine, so it has to be iTunes?

An interesting observation...when I have a MacBook Pro connected and select Computers on my AppleTV2, the name of the MacBook computer comes up on the screen and allows me to select it and view photos from my iTunes library. Orks perfectly. When my Windows 8 PC is connected, and I select Computers on my AppleTV, the name of the PC does NOT come up on the computer list, but instead the AppleTV immediately tries to download pictures from the PC itunes library. It runs for ~2 minutes then generates an error message saying it could not connect to the iTunes library and to make sure it is tunrned on, connect to the same network, and use the same blah, blah, blah. I know all the settigns on the network are correct because my MacBook works perfecty. So frustrating that my PC worked previously before the recent iTunes software update. What to do to fix it?

Hi Rickgal,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Based on the information, it does sound like this behavior is isolated to your PC. I recommend trying the troubleshooting steps in this article on your PC:
Troubleshooting Home Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
Start with turning Home Sharing off and on again, as explained in step 3:
Go to File > Home Sharing and choose Turn Off Home Sharing.
Choose File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing.
When prompted, enter the Apple ID you'd like to use.
Click Turn On Home Sharing, then Done.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

HT1338 my mac book pro is constantly "looking for networks" while connected using my home network and other wifi systems. how can i stop it?

Why is my Mac Book constantly "looking for networks" while i am using wifi?

If it is constantly searching for networks every five seconds or so, then it is the bluetooth - wifi problem discussed on other threads. I find that system preferences > network and clicking at the bottom on the 'Show wi-fi status in menu bar' button to switch it off, and then back onto the menu bar, solves the problem. Sometimes on waking I lose wi-fi completely and have to reload, but that's infrequent.
Hopefully Apple will come up with a solution soon.

Macbook Pro 10.6.8 constantly drops my wi-fi network and joins Linksys which works but very slow

My Macbook Pro constantly drops my network and joins Linksys. It connects to the Internet but is painfully slow. Choosing my network again works for a while than goes back to Linksys. Any sugestions?

Try going to system preferences/network/advanced, airport tab, in the prefered networks pane highlight and drag your net work to the top of the list. See if it then chooses your network as prefered, hope this helps.

Connecting to an unknown network when a password is required.

I struggle to connect to an unknown network when a password is required. In settings, there's a tick as if it's connected but it isn't. What am I doing wrong?

- Googling shows that you have to join the network and then open Safari and agree to the terms and conditions and then the connect will be completed.
- Try:
Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Go to Settings>Safari and clearing history, cookies and data

"I am constantly getting a message which says Itunes cannot run because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled a number of times and re-booted but it only seems to last a short time. How do I fix it?

HI daddio,
Ok some things first I need to know...Did you use Microsoft cleanup utility to clean up all those uninstalls you have done?
I hate Norton and anyone who reads my posts will know that. I have seen way too many infected PC's by Norton users. Did you try the EWIDO and AdAware scan? I see you said you read lots of posts. That is helping folks remove the malware in order to get iTunes and quicktime back to health.

Help required with Gnome 3 Input Sources

I used CapsLock before gnome 3.6 upgrade all working fine, however new Input Sources broke my system a little bit
I fixed my CapsLock by dconf-editor org\gnome\desktop\input-sources\xkb-options ['grp:caps_toggle', 'grp_switch', 'grp_led:caps'], but I can't get work
- language switch indicator not working
- show-flags does nothing anymore
Any help fit is required because of usability issues

Also, with Gnome 3.6 it's no longer possible to switch layouts with the Caps key. That setting is not available even in gnome-tweak-tool.
I figured out how to do make the settings a lot more flexible, and fix all the layout bugs introduced by 3.6. This is done by configuring everything through setxkbmap and not letting gnome interfere with the settings.
Remove all input sources, and the typing shortcuts from gnome keyboard settings window.
Open dconf-editor and remove everything from "org\gnome\desktop\input-sources\xkb-options". I was not able to set it to nothing, but setting it to ['grp_led:caps'] worked. These 2 steps were needed not to interfere with the config described below.
Install kbdd-git from aur, if you want separate layout for each window.
Create a script with preferred setxkbmap settings. Here is mine, setting Caps to switch languages, and swapping alt and win keys on MacBook.
#!/bin/sh
setxkbmap -layout us,ru
setxkbmap -option 'grp:caps_toggle'
setxkbmap -option 'altwin:swap_lalt_lwin'
# kbdd is needed to keep separate layout for each window.
`which kbdd` && kbdd
Launch gnome-session-properties and add this script to the list.

Requires a user to input a date (condition [%0])

Hi,
I'm trying to write a query that requires a user to input a date (condition [%0]). The data brought back would show invoices with activity but I need to get only the invoices that are 60 days past due from the date the user inputs.
--SELECT T0.[DocNum]'Invoice No.',
--T0.[CardCode],
--T0.[CardName],
--T1.PYMNTGROUP,
--T0.[DocDate],
--T0.[DocDueDate],
--DATEDIFF(DAY,T0.DOCDUEDATE,GETDATE())'Past Due',
--T0.[DocTotal] 'Balance Due',
--MAX(T2.RECONTACT)'Last Activity',
--max(t2.details)'Activity Details'
--FROM OINV T0 LEFT JOIN OCTG T1 ON T0.GROUPNUM=T1.GROUPNUM LEFT JOIN OCLG T2 ON T0.CARDCODE=T2.CARDCODE
--WHERE T0.[Docstatus] ='o' and
--T0.docduedate<getdate() -60
--GROUP BY T0.[DocNum], T0.[CardCode], T0.[CardName],T1.PYMNTGROUP, T0.[DocDate], T0.[DocDueDate] ,
--DATEDIFF(DAY,T0.DOCDUEDATE,GETDATE()),T0.[DocTotal]

Hi,
Welcome you post on the forum.
Try this:
Declare @ToDate DateTime
SET @ToDate = /(SELECT T0.DocDate FROM OINV T0 where T0.DocDate =/ '[%0\]'
SELECT T0.DocNum'Invoice No.',
T0.CardCode,
T0.CardName,
T1.PYMNTGROUP,
T0.DocDate,
T0.DocDueDate,
DATEDIFF(DAY,T0.DOCDUEDATE,@ToDate)'Past Due',
T0.DocTotal 'Balance Due',
MAX(T2.RECONTACT)'Last Activity',
max(t2.details)'Activity Details'
FROM OINV T0 LEFT JOIN OCTG T1 ON T0.GROUPNUM=T1.GROUPNUM LEFT JOIN OCLG T2 ON T0.CARDCODE=T2.CARDCODE
WHERE T0.Docstatus ='o'
GROUP BY T0.DocNum, T0.CardCode, T0.CardName,T1.PYMNTGROUP, T0.DocDate, T0.DocDueDate ,
DATEDIFF(DAY,T0.DOCDUEDATE,@ToDate),T0.DocTotal
Having DATEDIFF(DAY,T0.DOCDUEDATE,@ToDate)>60
