Bose AL8 wireless conflict with Apple TV

I have a Bose Lifestyle 38 connected to the Bose AL8 for multi-room connectivity.
When I installed the Apple TV via wireless, the Apple TV would not connect to the wireless network. I unplugged the power from the AL8, and all was fine. I conclude that the AL8 is creating network noise that is conflicting with the Apple TV.
I extended the Apple TV as far as possible from the AL8 with my setup, ~4 feet. I also configured the AL8 to exclude wireless channel 6.
Anyone have a similar setup or knowledge of a solution to allow the two devices to work in harmony?

Yes it is wireless and it is right next to my Playstation 3 that has netflix along with several internet games and is also wireless but has no problems.
NEW INFO
Upon further inspection. It appears that my wireless is connected and I am logged into my itunes account but I only see 3 main categories at the top (Internet, Compouters, Settings) instead of (Movies, Tv Shows, Music, Computers, Internet, and settings).
I have confirmed that my photo Stream from my phone is working and updated. However, No YouTube access so no internet. However, I know I am getting to apple because if I enter an incorrect password it tells me and also it stores the username/password.
Not sure what to do. I thought it was the wireless and still might hardwire the connection if I can but this is strange. I have setup many ATV2 and have and ATV1 with no issues.
Thanks for your help!

HT5633 Wireless keyboard with Apple TV Box

I had connect wireless keyboard with Apple TV Box it is work perfectly with English language but Thai language I need to hold the key until it appear then press Enter to type a letter it is look really trouble at all. Please give me any suggestions, Thank you.

the problem will be apple tv box firmware not fully support wireless keyboard. Will need update.
I think it does fully support wireless keyboard, but only for English. As Apple tells you in the link I gave you earlier: "Apple TV uses the U.S. English keyboard layout regardless of the keyboard's hardware layout"
Hopefully they will fix it in the future.

Can i use my smartphone as wireless headphones with apple tv so I don't disturb my wife when I'm up working late

I've seen that there are a few apps like LocalCast on Android that allow you to use the phone as wireless headphones - is there a way of doing so with Apple TV??

no but you can get tons of solutions where you connect something to your tv's minijack headset connector and then it wireless transfer the audio signal to a headset
there are both bluetooth solutions belkin have one I use and there are also solutions where the headset is included and they use their own custom protocol
but mind you there is no way to keep such setups in sync in terms of video and audio so if the system is poor in quality or pre-process the audio signal too much it cause audio and visuals to get out of sync

Wireless Issues with Apple TV 2nd generation

I have a linksys wireless router using WPA2 wireless security. I have 5 laptops, 2 printers, 3 iPhones, and 2 iTouch's connected to the wireless with no problem. My apple TV (second generation) has wireless issues, it will sit and connect and disconnect then reconnect then disconnect back and forwarth over and over. It is the only device on my network that has issues.
BTW, I have an AppleTV 1st Generation that also has no issues.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Using multiple wireless speakers with apple TV

Dear All
I am loving airplay from my iphone to my apple tv - pandora mainly - is there any way I can have wireless speakers set up to my apple TV so I can get sound throughout my apartment?
many thanks for any help you can give me
best
Huxman

We used to be able to do this, by the way; the original (white) Apple TV did this, and it was very useful. This is just one of many things, e.g. local storage, that Apple discarded in the "upgrade" to the black model. It's also much less reliable; I have constant problems with the remote app losing contact with the ATV, or taking forever to find it; the ATV claiming that it can't contact the iTunes Store, which is fixed by a reboot; iTunes mysteriously refusing to use certain ATVs via AirPlay while using others which are configured identically (with no error message or indication of what's wrong); etc.
Apple really screwed up this product, both in terms of features and software quality.

Using wireless keyboard with Apple TV

So why don't they make things easy and somehow add a firmware upgrade that allows you to use your wireless keyboard when making searches on the Apple TV. Every new owner of an iMac has one! This would be a great improvement over the hunt and pick that the remote gives you. Even Sony's playstation 3 has a remote keypad available as an option.

as others have said.. if you have an iPod Touch, iPad, iPhone you can use the remote app to type text fort the appleTV in a tiny package... and navigate your appleTV (don't have to use the remote at all) and surf the net and check email, twitter etc, etc without annoying everyone else in the house that just wants to watch the movie or TV show... and if you want to share something with someone on the big screen you can use airplay to transfer the video to the big screen.. next iOS update adds API for developers of 3rd party apps to add the ability to show video or audio on the big screen.. this direction seems to make WAY more sense to me than the google direction that seems to serve to mainly annoy your family..

UNABLE TO CONNECT TO WIRELESS NETWORK WITH APPLE WINDOWS COMPUTERS CAN

I am new to Apple and am trying to connect to our at home wireless network.Have a Linksys wireless router that is functioning as far as I know correctly.We are able to connect with windows based laptops.My Apple sees our network which is identified correctly and asks for a password.When we enter the password that functions for the other computers it does not work.I s there a configuration change I need to make.Maybe a password variant? I really want to get this up and running and am out of ideas.

Are you using WEP, if you can try and use WPA.
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

WPA
"WPA Personal" on the Mac corresponds to plain WPA, with a pre-shared key (PSK) and TKIP encryption, on non-Apple wireless routers. The same alphanumeric password should work on both.

Extending a non-Apple wireless network with Apple Express?

Is it still impossible to use Airport Express to extend a network based on non-Apple router - e.g. Verizon? If not, then can someone explain the source of theis incompatibilty to me?

Is it still impossible to use Airport Express to extend a network based on non-Apple router - e.g. Verizon?
Apple designed their "extend" feature to work with other Apple routers....maybe to get you to buy more Apple routers. Other manufacturers pretty much do the same thing.
There is actually very little compatibility between manufacturers as far as extending a signal wirelessly......for example, Cisco will not extend Netgear. Actiontec will not extend 2-Wire and the list goes on.
A few manufacturers....Netgear is one.....offer what they call a "universal" extender or repeater. How "universal" the product might be is open to question, so if you decide to try a "universal" extender, it might be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy.

PAP2T Wireless Conflict with WRT610 Router

I have a WRT610 Router with a PAP2T for my VOIP. I have 5 PCs on the network. Three wired and 2 wireless. One of the wireless PCs looses connection when I dial out on the VOIP The ips are not the same and the MAC addresses are diferent.
Any thoughts?

Basically PAP2T is a phone adapter and run on DHCP...And there might be an IP Address conflict between your one computer and PAP2T...So, you may try giving the static ip to the computer....Go to start...control pannel...network connection and then right click on wireless network connection and click on properties...highlight "internet protocol tcp/ip" and click on properties.Choose use the following IP Address and put the ip address 192.168.1.10 and the default gateway 192.168.1.1(assuming your router is 192.168.1.1) and click on OK...It should work.

Dropping wireless connection with Apple Wireless Keyboard

I've got a new bluetooth chip in my iMac from support at my location, a new wireless keyboard and I'm still having issues. Wireless connection dropped 6 times typing this one sentence. Aaargh. I've been busy with this ever since I bought the computer. On irregular intervals (absolutely no regularity whatsoever) the computer loses connection with my Apple Wireless Keyboard. So if I have a new iMac, with a new bluetooth chip and a new keyboard how come this issue is still an issue? It's driving me mad. And possibly the guys at the centre as well.

Hi mvoltage
Do you have any appliances with motors or other mobil telephone devices setup near the iMac?
Both motor flux fields and Cordless Phone Base Stations can and will interfere with the operation of the iMac's wifi and airport signals.

Can't connect to wireless network with Apple Computers (WRT54G)

Hi.
I have had a password protected router (WRT54G) for over two years that any pc will connect to if I give them the password. However, my roommate has an apple laptop and he can't connect, no matter how many times we try. I just got an ipod touch, and it can't connect to the network either. We are inputting our password correctly - why can't apple computers connect to my wireless network??
Again, my router is a WRT54G.
Thanks !!!

Make sure you enter the correct password...To check your Wireless Settings follow this link
If your Wireless Security is WEP then use WEP Key1 and not the Passphrase, make sure to enter a dollar sign on your Apple Computer when you attempt to connect...If your Wireless Security is WPA/WPA2 then use the WPA Shared key and no dollar sign is required...

Keyboard options with Apple TV?

Is there a way to either
A) Pair a wireless keyboard with Apple TV or
B) Add a keyboard controller to the remote app?
I throughly enjoy the remote app and gestures but having to slide along to select letters and numbers sets me back a bit.
Apologies in advance, If this functionality does exist and I have just missed it.

Thanks, Rudegar. Once I accessed Netflix at the login prompt and while paired with remote, the keyboard function popped right up.

Activating Mail account on iPhone causes conflict with Mail on iMac

I've been using my iPhone 4 to send/receive work e-mail via our Exchange server with no issue. However, when I tried to set up my phone to send/receive my home e-mail (provided by Cox Communications), it immediately caused a conflict with Apple Mail on my iMac. When I launch Mail on the iMac, I'm informed that the account is in use on another device and I need to work offline. I'm leaving for a 2-3 week trip and would really prefer not to have to log into the Cox webmail app all the time.
Is there a way to avoid this conflict and still enable me to get home e-mail on my iPhone?
BTW - I've contacted Cox and they've informed me that they provide no advanced e-mail support for any e-mail applications used by Macs.

As already provided, this is a POP account limitation that doesn't apply to an Exchange or IMAP account.
Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. Only one email client at a time can communicate with the incoming mail server for a POP account - to check the account for new messages and/or download new messages available at the incoming mail server. When a 2nd email client attempts to check the account for new messages while another email client is doing the same or while another email client is downloading new messages available at the incoming mail server, the incoming mail server will temporarily lock out the 2nd email client from communicating with the incoming mail server.
Not a problem with an Exchange or IMAP account which are designed to be accessed by more than one email client with the ability for more than one email client to be accessing the server for the account at the same time.

Wireless Printing with PowerBook G4 17"

We have two PowerBook 17" G4s. We bought an HP 1320 LaserJet which works fine when cable-connected, but we want to set up for wireless printing to maximize our flexibility in computing and minimize wear-and-tear on the cable connections on our computers.
We have recently learned from HP that they don't support Macs for wireless printing with this printer (although they do support Windows with it for wireless printing)
Can anyone recommend a reliable, good-quality B&W laser jet type printer which is capable of wireless connections with Apple PowerBooks? We are set up for DSL using LinkSys modem, and LinkSys has been no help in this matter. Thanks for any help or advice ...

If it's an ethernet printer then you should be able to plug it into a wireless router and print from the mac over the network. All you should need to do is to enter the printer's ip address when setting it up on the mac and it should just work - OSX has the ppd files built in for most laserjets.
If not ethernet, then you have to find a usb to wireless adapter - they do exist, and then the printer will act much like any other network device. Linksys make a wireless usb print server. Try a google search for "54g usb adapter" but make sure anything you buy will work on a printer - ie pick up an ip address from the router.
Bear in mind, that if it starts to get pricey to do this, it might be more cost effective to switch to an ethernet enabled laser printer which will work seamlessly. I recently picked up a Dell 3100cn which is really very good - if big, but the output is excellent quality and it was better value to get a new printer than get the bits to make my current printer wireless and replace the toner. Just a thought. Apparently the Dell refurb shop is very good and quite cheap.
Good luck.
PS - Wireless routers are really quite cheap, Belkin, Netgear and Linksys are fairly inexpensive - I found circuit city to be quite good.
