Cannot stream music while displaying photos

I noticed that when I'm on the main menu screen on my Apple TV, I can start streaming music to it through AirTunes from my MacBook. However, as soon as I open Photos / My Photos, and select an album to start browsing through my photo collection, the music streaming stops. When I try to re-connect from my MacBook, I get an error saying that "The remote speaker Apple TV is currently being used by someone else. Please select another speaker from the menu at the bottom of the iTunes window." When I exit photos, I can start streaming again.
This is rather annoying, as I would like to listen to AirTunes at the same time as I'm viewing my photos. I have not set up my Apple TV to play any music while doing so, so there should be no conflict. Is there a workaround for this?

I don't believe you can use the tv for anything else while using it as remote speakers for airtunes (including watching photos)
Your options would be to have the tv play music itself while watching photos (seems much more straight forward to play music and photos from one place than one from the tv and one from your mac)
or
Set the screensaver to slideshow and allow it to engage while streaming music from your mac via airtunes.

  • Cannot stream music from MacBook Pro to Airport Express

    Hi, I have an Airport Express. But with both my computer (imac and MacBook Pro) if I try playing music from itunes, it cannot connect. An Airplay pop up window opens and trying connection to airport for ever...
    On the other hand, it works when streaming music from iphones or ipads.
    I have tried changing settings...but it never works....
    Can anyone help please
    thanks

    Hi thanks for your answer.
    I am afraid it still does not work.
    Now, when I select the Airport, it tries connecting for a long time "connecting to "Airport Name"...but never connects.

  • Does iOS5 allow streaming music while surfing web?

    With iOS4 I could stream music from a website and surf the web (although it was a pain because I had to find a hyperlink in an email to click and open a different page) but with iOS5 as soon as I open a different page the music stops playing. Any ideas? Apple, please fix this!

    Anyone? Help please...!
    Is Apple monitoring these discussion boards, as they're on the Apple website?

  • Cannot stream iPhone music to Apple TV2

    I have an Apple TV2 and I cannot stream music to it from my iPhone 3GS via the iPod app. The ATV icon appears in the iPod app but nothing streams. The music plays again when reselecting the iPhone audio output. Movies from the iPod app work fine however with good video and audio streaming when streamed to ATV.
    The ATV works fine with all other functions from my laptop and MacMini.

    Fixed it!!
    Just unplugged the ATV2 and rebooted it.

  • Hello,  can't stream music to my car with BT? But I can stream phone calls and the microphone

    Hello,
    I just bought my first car. A BMW 1 Series Convertible 2010 120i (sports pack). It has bluetooth, but not an iDrive screen.
    I have paired my iPhone with the car's bluetooth, and it works flawlessly to talk. And even Google Maps automatically pair with the speakers.
    But, oddly enough, I cannot stream music (Spotify) through bluetooth! It doesn't explain this in the instructions either. However, I can play music through the wired AUX input.
    Can you help me to solve this problem?
    Appreciate all the help I can get!
    Thank you,
    JL

    Hello JLJLJLJLJLJL!

  • Stream music issue since Safari 5.1

    Hi, I had all sort of trouble with Safari 5 including it constantly freezing my router. Upgrading to 5.1 has fixed these problems but since then my media streaming device cannot stream music from the Mac (it cannot find the Mac or any of its attached external hard drives). I have tried a few things but cannot find a solution. Any ideas?

    HI,
    but since then my media streaming device cannot stream music from the Mac
    Check the developer site for Safari 5.0.1 compatible updates.
    I have tried a few things
    Good idea to tell us what you've tried so we don't repeat.
    If you haven't repaired permissions since updating Safari, that could help.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Cannot stream ipod music on iphone 3g

    I can successfully connect my iphone to my VW RNS510 phone system to receive/make calls. The system also has the ability to accept A2DP connections, to play audio through the stereo. In online demos, I have seen a bluetooth icon on the ipod play screen, allowing the audio to be sent via bluetooth. On my unit, I cannot get the icon to display, and therefore cannot stream my music. Although my phone connects without issue and I can listen to voice messages through the car stereo I cannot direct my music to the bluetooth connection.
    I have the latest OS. Any thoughts/suggestions.
    Thanks

    Seems like the iPhone is not aware that your system is A2DP capable. Maybe a re-pairing will help. Try erasing the device from the iPhone bluetooth list and pairing again.

    I have a G5 which I intend to keep.
    Now that I have updated my iphone 4s to iOS 7.0.
    I cannot add music to my iphone or upload photos to iphoto.
    I have the last itunes 10.6.3. which was supported by apple.
    itunes will not interact with my iphone on any level.
    Apple made all the equipment I use.
    Bentley and Ferrari etc do not stop making parts for their cars?
    The least Apple could is.
    A. Update itunes to run on a G5
    Regarding iOS 7.0 you have totally lost the plot.
    We buy apple why?
    Quality.
    Intuitive interface.
    Stable software.
    Design.
    All that Steve Jobs consider sacrosanct.
    Quality is about ongoing support longevity of product.
    Its not about trying to sell to every person on the planet, others are way ahead of you.
    So try respective the customers you have, it wont be long before theirs a better operating system and your lead in hardware is marginal.

    My post on facebook this morning.
    If you have an iPhone or iPad do not update to ISO 7 unless you want an operating system that looks like windows 8. The graphics looks like it was designed by a artistically challenged mongoose and the operating system is not intuitive something apple users expect. Overly complicated ugly and generally change for the sake of apples paranoia since the death of Steve Jobs.

  • Error while displaying file " C:Temp Filename.Ext cannot be created"

    Dear Friends
    Some users face problem while display the file. They get message " C:\Temp\ Filename.Ext cannot be created ". I checked Details. I got explaination as follows.
    Caution! You are not authorized to work with temporary storage
    Message no. ED204
    Diagnosis
    You do not have authorization to read or write from or to the temporary storage.
    The system uses the temporary storage when you display or change programs using the ABAP Editor.
    The system checks to see whether there is a temporary version of the program.
    If there is, a dialog box appears in which you must choose whether to use the temporary version or the database version.
    The system fills the temporary storage when the editor crashes or you save a temporary version of the program.
    System Response
    You probably do not have the authorization object S_DATASET.
    Procedure
    Ask your system administrator to assign you the relevant authorization.*
    Actually this  problem never occurs frequently. User access the files very frequently creating around 200 Mb to 400 Mb in C:\Temp Folder per day per user. I observerd as per message that User is not have Access right to C drive. Once I get access from IT for that user he is able to display file. But before giving right he is able to display file. But suddenly he is not able to display. I am not getting exact reason why this problem occurs. Some users temp folder size is upto 700 Mb with no acces right to C Drive still he is able to see the image.
    In DC20 I have kept C:\Temp as path for temp folder.
    I have checked the links  also
    Request you to provide me
    What is exact reason of the error?
    Is the solution to problem is giving access rights to the user?
    Do I have to give authorization object S_DATASET to a user?
    With Regards
    Mangesh Pande

    Dear Amaresh
    Thanks for your reply and solution.
    So you mean to say thats this Authorization object  has to be provided to user?
    But my question is how the user was able to see the file even when this Authorization Object was not assigned.
    He was able to display all file. But for particular DIR he is not able to display.
    I have checked this thread
