Audio stutters on Apple TV when new device connects to wifi

Apple TV is merrily playing music (all of which is actually synched onto the Apple TV) - if I then open up my MacBook and it connects to the web using the same wifi connection as the Apple TV, the music stops for about a second. Not a major issue, but not great if at a party the music suddenly just stops... Anybody got any ideas?

Could be network bandwidth issue transiently if Macbook makes loads of wi-fi accesses when starting.
Could be wireless router transiently becoming unresponsive to AppleTv while it negotiates with the new device.
Could be the MacBook finding AppleTV and some communication between them taking priority on the AppleTV such that AppleTV can't handle the music playback too - it should be designed to be resilient to this sort of thing, but it isn't a very powerful device and some hiccups i think are due to it's hardware not coping, just like a computer becoming transiently unresponsive if CPU hogged by some process.
If you are opening iTunes on Macbook, try unchecking 'Look for AppleTVs' in Preferences - I seem to recall a few people saying this helped a similar issue, and it would imply that this prevented some interaction between itunes and AppleTV that stopped other functions transiently.

Why are my podcasts not syncing with Apple TV when all devices connect to the same Apple iD?

Does anybody have an idea as to why my recently updated Apple TV does not sync my podcasts from my Apple iD. It's supposed to, it's not doing it, and it's very annoying.
This is only half the aggravation; the other half is that all my podcasts have been deleted automatically twice(no apparent reason other than perhaps a bug in iOS 7.0.2 / 11A501).
This one I have managed to comeup with sort of a temporary fix while Apple fixes this: I made a copy/backup of the "Podcasts" folder inside the "iTunes Media" which in turn is in the "iTunes" folder Within the "Music" folder in my Mac. When my Podcasts are deleted, I just drag the backup "Podcasts" folder I created into the My Pocasts in iTunes.
Apple please fix it.

It's really hard to using like this. I always add new things at iTunes when my device doesn't connected. Please help me

You reinstalled an old version of iPhoto after you updated your library to the newer version.
Update ALL your software and try again.
Click the Apple Menu at the upper left-hand corner of your screen and select "Software Update..."
Repeat until it tells you there are no more updates.
AND, launch the App Store application located in your Applications folder to see if there are any updates there as well.

WRT54GS v5.1 auto reboot when wireless device connects

Hi,
I'm using the linksys WRT54GS wireless router v5.1
Current Firmware version v1.50.9, Sep. 14, 2006
The problem that I have is that everytime a new device connects to the Router wirelessly, the router reboots itself.
After the reboot, everything seems to be working fine. This becomes quite annoying when it comes to gaming and another family member turns on their laptop and then I get disconnected by the router because they are connecting.
What I have done upto now is reset the router after doing the FirmWare Version update and the problem still occurs. (The problem was still there even before I had done a FirmWare Update.)
Is there a way to solve this problem? because I have read about a few other problems just like mine on the forums and they don't seem to have been resolved.
Or will I have to go back to PCWORLD to see if I can get a refund / replacement?

I do not see a "keep alive" option. I use the Automatic Configuration - DHCP because I have connected, a CABLE MODEM provided by my cable provider Telewest Blueyonder
The router just reboots when the wireless laptops connect. The wired desktop (this PC) loses connection as it is rebooting and regains connection after the reboot. Then both PC and Laptop work fine.

How can i fix my iphone 3g if and only it displays the apple logo when it is connected to its charger but it displays nothing when the charger is removed?

Plug it into a wall outlet and leave it plugged in for approximately 20 minutes.
Then try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds.
Does the device power on at this point? If not, the battery or logic board is gone.
Take it to Apple for evaluation.
It may be worth replacing the battery, but I personally wouldn't spend the $149US for an Out of Warranty replacement on a 3+yr old device.

I updated my LG G3 this week and now it SUCKS! When I'm connected to WIFI, nothing on Facebook works. The photos and videos won't populate. I have to turn off the WIFI and only use the mobile data. Not to mention, I really hate the way it looks now.

I'm thinking of changing providers now.

Apple tv won't stay connected to wifi

my apple tv won't stay connected to wifi. what's the issue?

Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided. And in this case none were give. What is happening? Error message? Other WiFi devices have issues? It is actually losing the connection or is your streaming content just freezing?
Trying to do streaming video over WiFi is not a great idea. Even if you are using the really high end WiFi hardware it will never be completely solid. You really want to use a wired connection for that.

Hi. I have an iPhone 4 and no data plan. When I'm not connected to wifi I don't receive iMessages, but later when I do connect to wifi, I get them telling me they were sent earlier. I don't remember how long this has been happening. Any Help?

Hi. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS7 and no data plan. When I am not connect to wifi I don't receive iMessages, but then when I do connect to wifi I get the messages telling me they were sent earlier. Is there any thing I can do to fix it? I don't remember how long this has been happening but it is very frustrating. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!!!

If you don't have a cellular data plan, then why are you expecting that you will have an active internet connection unless you are connected to wi-fi?
iMessages require either wi-fi or a cellular data connection.

IMessage on my iPhone 4S only works when I am connected to WIFI

I can only use iMessage on my AT&T iPhone 4S when I am connected to WIFI. If I attempt to send when connected over cell (HSPA+/"4G") I get a long pause while the phone tries to send the message and eventually an error message saying that the message could not be sent. At that point I can send as SMS. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks.

Note: On iPhone, if iMessage is unavailable, the message may be sent as SMS or MMS, depending on content. Carrier messaging rates may apply. You can turn this on or off in iPhone at Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Messages sent using iMessage will appear in a light blue bubble, while messages sent using SMS or MMS will appear in a green bubble. imessage is working like it's suppose too, when it's unvailable it sends it as a text. if your having problem with your network connection I suggest contacting AT&T.
