Can't Connect to Apple TV using Wireless

I am having a problem connecting to my Apple TV from my Macbook while my mac is wireless. I see the Apple TV just fine in iTunes but it syncs really slow while using wireless. It connects just fine when my mac is using an ethernet cable. It does not matter if the Apple TV is using ethernet or wireless. If my Mac is using wireless the connection is really slow.
I see the Apple TV just fine in iTunes all the time but when I try to sync or stream it's slow going. I have a Linksys 802.11n router. Could it be interference? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a sim. problem. My Mac Book Pro works perfectly with the Apple TV when I turn off Air Port and plug in a Cat5. But It will not do anything not even show it in iTunes when using the Air Port. I have a older Power mac Dual G4 using a belkin wireless USB adapter and it syncs perfectly I have it set up as the main source so I don't tie up my laptop but I do have music on my Mac Book Pro that I like to stream, and it's a pain to plug in the ethernet cable every time.

  • Can't connect to apple tv using itunes id

    I have added a second apple TV to my network and can not get it to connect.  My older second generation apple tv works as does my desktop and mac pro but the newer second unit does not accept my apple login.  I have used 5 computers authorized to use my apple/itunes login.  Why cant i connect?

    we also have the same problem.  2 apple tv's but both are 1st generation.  One will connect and one wont as it wont accept the apple login password.  Support is looking into it.  Seems we might have more then one itunes account and this could be causing our trouble.  Will keep you posted

  • My Blu-Ray player has a USB input but it doesn't have an HDMI input. Can I connect my Apple TV to the Blu-Ray using an HDMI/ USB adapter? It would allow me to run the audio through my stereo. Thanks to all for your help.

    Can I connect my Apple TV to the Blu-Ray using an HDMI/ USB adapter?
    If you can find such a thing.  I really doubt that exists since USB is a data connector not a video connector.
    would allow me to run the audio through my stereo.     
    That would depend on this adapter.

    Hey there arunvdi,
    It sounds like you are unable to connect to the Wi-Fi created by your Personal Hotspot. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2756
    Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Wi-Fi troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using Personal Hotspot with other Wi-Fi devices, try the following:
    Turn Personal Hotspot off.
    Verify Wi-Fi is on in Settings > Wi-Fi.
    Turn Personal Hotspot back on.
    If another device is unable to join your Wi-Fi network, ensure that the user enters the Wi-Fi password correctly. If the device cannot see your Wi-Fi network, verify your device name.
    Note: Windows may not properly display a device name that uses non-ASCII characters.
    Verify how many devices are currently using your Personal Hotspot. Depending on your wireless carrier and, the maximum number of Wi-Fi connections may be limited to three at one time.
    If the other device still cannot connect, try turning Wi-Fi off and on again on the device. Verify that your device can see other Wi-Fi networks.
    Note: If you see an "Unable to Join" or timeout error when trying to connect a device using Wi-Fi, ensure that you remain on the Personal Hotspot screen until the first device connects. After a device has connected, you can leave the Personal Hotspot screen and use your phone normally. Your device will automatically stop broadcasting using Wi-Fi if you put your device to sleep or after 90 seconds elapse with no devices connected using Wi-Fi. You can start broadcasting your Wi-Fi network again by tapping Settings > Personal Hotspot.
    If none of the previous steps resolves your issue, restore the iPhone.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Very slow downloads Network test says "can't connect to Apple"

    Have a 1st generation ATV and it has been working great for years until now. When I have slow downloads so I go to "Test Network" and it fixes the problem, but not any more. Now it says "can't connect to Apple"
    Funny thing is it can connect but it is very very slow!
    I have tried most everything I can think of this has got me stumped!
    -- Speed test on my network shows I am getting 12 Mb/s download speeds with Comcast cable
    -- using an Apple Airport extreme
    -- I have NOT done any changes to my network
    -- Have done a factory reset on ATV
    -- rebooted my Airport
    -- Made sure all my updates have been done
    -- Hooked ATV up with ethernet cable to network that just seemed to make to worse! strange?
    -- look all very the boards
    Does any one have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I have the same experience, i.e., "Test Network" used to improve slow downloads, but now when I attempt it, the test download progress bar moves, but then I get the "can't connect to Apple" error message. I have not yet found a solution to this, however it may be related to the following problem:
    ATV does not remember wireless network password.
    ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
    I am having to re-enter the wireless network password every time the ATV starts up, and sometimes during startup it appears to be in a Catch-22 situation where it is trying to access the network but cannot because it has not yet let me manually enter the password, so it spends a long time with amber or amber plus white light blinking, and then more time with solid white light before finally showing the startup sequence, about half an hour after being switched on.
    See post about password problem at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13182180#13182180, which also lists my equipment.

  • Can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

    can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

    No, you can only connect to one Home Sharing account at a time. If you want to see the content of the other Mac's library you will have to turn off Home Sharing on the Apple TV and log back in with the other iTunes account.

  • My TV is mounted on a wall so I can't connect the Apple TV device. Is it possible to connect to an HD Cable Box and send signal to TV that way? Other problem is that Box only has one HDMI socket .. Help!

    My TV is mounted on a wall so I can't connect the Apple TV device. Is it possible to connect to an HD Cable Box and send signal to TV that way? Other problem is that Box only has one HDMI socket so would also have to use a splitter. Tried Apple Support but couldn't offer a solution. I can't be the only person with this issue surely?
    Help!

    No, unless you are using a home theatre system already, your only option is to connect to the TV.

    Thanks for replying. The plan you have it would be an additional charge to add the hotspot feature. It's not free with the Nationwide plan. You would need to add the feature online at www.verizonwireless.com/myverizon

  • I have an ipod 4 can i connect to pc and, using itunes match, store all music off ipod and then transfer to a new ipod 5?

    i have an ipod 4 can i connect to pc and, using itunes match, store all music off ipod and then transfer to a new ipod 5?

    hI, bella
    I also met this issue a few days ago and I finally find out how to transfer music from iPod to computer:
    1. Plug your iPod in and wait for the computer to recognize it.
    2. Open up 'My Computer' and under 'Devices With Removable Storage', double click and open apple iPod.
    3. Click on 'Tools' at the top of the window and drag down to 'Folder Options'.
    4. Under the 'View' tab, find the subfolder called 'Hidden files and folders'.
    5. Select the option 'Show hidden files and folders'.
    6. Click 'OK'.

  • I just downloaded the latest OS upgrade and since I can not connect to the internet using my cellular data plan.

    I just downloaded the latest iOS.7 upgrade on my ipad2, and since I can not connect to the internet using my cellular data plan.  I have checked my data plan and it's both current and over 2GB remaining.  However the indicator shows no service, thus would be the best steps to recover.  Thanks much for any support that can be provided.
