Cannot stream video from osx iTunes to XP itunes

This is a frequently discussed topic, but non of the suggested solutions work for me.
Problem: iTunes running on iMac OS X 10.4.9, latest version 7.1.1. Authorized. Has purchased TV show locally. Cannot stream this show to iTunes, latest version, running on XP, on local network.
The reverse works. i.e. a different show on the XP iTunes can be streamed and watched on the OSX iTunes.
I initially had problem with self ripped movies, tried Lostify etc. Same problem. Now I have isolated to "normal" iTunes content, going from OSX to XP, still does not work.
Any ideas?!
Thanks,
P.K.

Anyone has this problem or solution ?!!?

Why can't I stream videos from my iTunes to my appletv/ipad anymore?

I have updated all the software to the latest versions on all the devices, but recently I am unable to stream any of my videos from my iTunes library under the "computers" app. I have a MacBook Pro, appletv hd, and ipad 3, and I could only play videos on iTunes on my MacBook. Songs are also unable to play, it will play a snippet, stop then play another tiny bit, sort of like its streaming extremely slow. It won't stream hd or sd videos. I've tried resetting the modem/router, restoring the appletv, and nothing seems to work. Also, the weird thing is that i am able to stream to my xbox videos and music without any trouble, i only get the problem trying to stream to other apple products. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Dont know if i made it clear in the previous post, but it used to work with no problem, it's just recently that this has begun to be a problem. could it be the latest updates that are causing the problem? the only thing ive been doing differently is i've begun transfering my dvd collection to digital copies to stream through itunes. the digital files are ones that itunes recognizes and worked before. is it possible to have a library that is too large and slows down the streaming? i tried using airplay last night, with the same results, the loading wheel just spins forever. the AppleTV can find the itunes library, and all the files on it, but they just dont play.

I cannot stream video from my local public library on my iPad Air 2 using Overdrive Media Console

I am unable to stream videos from my local public library on my iPad Air 2 using the Overdrive
Media Console App. I can stream videos on my older iPad 1st generation. Anyone else
having his problem?

The app gives you instructions to browse to the Overdrive site and put in your Zip Code. You can do this from Safari on the iPad. When you find your local library, you will be asked to log in with your Library Card and PIN. When you select compatible content, the Overdrive app will automatically launch, where it will give you the ability to download content segments, or even all segments. It will also help you keep track of when the book will expire etc. The books are broken up into many segments so that you can manage how much content is stored on your iPad. I did this just this morning, and downloaded 8 of 38 segments of the book 2666.

Cannot Stream Video from iPad on AppleTV - Media Server Apps via Airplay

Hi,
Need help on this one. Am using iPad 4th gen - Apple TV 3rd Gen and iPhone 4S. (all latest firmware)
Last week was streaming video via Airplay using GoodPlayer and ArkMC apps on iPad to stream from my NAS (WD MyBookLive) via DNLA media server to Apple TV - Worked Amazing
Upgraded firmware on appleTV.
I can no longer stream via Airplay from these apps - Airplay Icon appears - I can Select the Apple TV device for airplay (Checked - icon is blue). But no image on apple TV - video image stays on device.
Full reboot of both AppleTV and iPad.
Other software using server type setup (ex.:EMIT app) work perfectly and streaming directly from video on iPad works perfectly. (need to turn on the server on the computer though) or airplay enabled web sites and/or apps seem to work well also.
Mirroring works but the video is not full screen and wrong ratio.
Any clues ? I've lost this one.
Thanks

Apparently what is happening, and this was brought up in another thread, and what I suspected was happening as well, is that the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch is not streaming the video itself directly to the AppleTV (it might be streaming it if it's audio only, haven't confirmed). What it's apparently doing is, is telling the AppleTV2 to download the video and play it on its own, starting with xx:xx timestamp directly from youtube or your iTunes library. This is why it's only working with your iTunes library or the built-in YouTube app. And also why it wouldn't work with the camera roll, because it isn't streaming directly from the iPhone. So it's not exactly what we were originally thinking or expecting.

Can't stream video from the web

My iPad cannot stream videos from Safari web sites except when I am in the same room as the modem and router. I am not talking about flash, I mean videos it should be able to stream.
I use an Arris modem from Comcast with a Time Machine in the same room. I have an Airport Express in another room to extend wireless coverage.
If I start a video in the "time machine room" it will load and I can then leave and the video will play. If I try to start it in another room it will not load properly.
I tried a test, streaming the same video to my iBook, my iPhone and my iPad - from a non "time machine room" in my house. No problem with the iBook or iPhone. The video played with no problems. No go with the iPad.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I am getting a strong Wi Fi signal.

HI Deanna,
Try resetting the network settings on your iPad.
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
That will restore to factory default.
Restart your iPad, restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, try changing the Airport channel.
Select the device you’re setting up on the left and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.
If that doesn't help, go to /Library/Preferences. Move all the files in the System Configuration folder to the Trash, and restart your Mac.
Try streaming again.
If I try to start it in another room it will not load properly.
Also, check out the Airport Express online manual *page 41* for: *Items that can cause interference*

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen., but when I tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen, but when i tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Soem of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to yor iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. What should I do?

I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

I need to stream video from itunes to apple tv with out using my 40gb hd.

i need to stream video from itunes to apple tv with out using my 40gb apple tv can it be done you see i have a 40gb apple tv and it's full and i still have lots more video (movies) in my itunes can i stream movies from itunes to apple tv with my memory full in apple tv??????????

Select the iTunes library on your computer from the Sources menu in Apple TV and then you can stream. If streaming is not smooth and your router has a multicast setting, try increasing the multicast bit rate. To return to the synced content on your Apple TV, select the Apple TV logo at the top of the Sources menu.

I am trying to stream video from iTunes store for the last 2 days and all I get is the message "iTunes store is unavailable. Try again later." I have tried turning it off, restoring it, signing in and out again. Netflix works though.

If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Streaming video from Macbook Pro to 46 inch LCD

I am trying to stream video from my 13 inch Macbook Pro to my 46 inch Samsung LCD TV. I am using a HDMI cable to a DVI cable to attach the computer. When I play videos from iTunes, the picture looks great, however when I am streaming video from an internet site such as Netflix, the picture is not great (it almost looks pixilated). I am wondering, is this an issue with my computer (video card, etc) or does it have to do with my internet connection (I currently have the lower DSL connection)? Is there any other way to make the picture look better? Thanks for your help.

Yes, forget streaming that way, .....the ANSWER youre looking for is the APP BEAMER
you cannot stream youtube, rather ON COMPUTER video and movie files.

Cannot stream photos from iPad, cannot stream audio from Pandora

Updated to iOS 4.2.1 and I can stream audio from the iPod app on the iPad to the ATV2, so I know AirPlay is working. But, I cannot stream photos (there is no AirPlay icon showing on top of the screen, unlike the video demo from Apple.com web site). Also, cannot stream audio from Pandora (again, no AirPlay icon).
The odd thing is that I can stream Pandora audio from the iPhone 4. But, not photos (same problem as with the iPad).
Is anybody able to stream photos from either iPad or iPhone? How about Pandora audio from the iPad?

Apparently what is happening, and this was brought up in another thread, and what I suspected was happening as well, is that the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch is not streaming the video itself directly to the AppleTV (it might be streaming it if it's audio only, haven't confirmed).

Streaming video from mac to mac and from mac to Apple tv

I just purchased a iMac i7 with Snow Leaopard. Until now I were able to stream video from my MAC to Apple TV and to my other MAC wirelessly.
From my new iMac I cannot stream. Not to Apple TV (via iTunes) or from MAC to MAC.
A bit annoying when it worked fine before I got new hardware and soft ware.
Network is through a Timecapsule. I can still stream video (720p) from my Powerbook to my Macbook Pro (Leopard).
This be a iTunes 9.1 issue also.
Anyone else had this kind of problems.

Offcourse. I have done all the obvious. I am not stupid.
Some people forget that AppleTVs do not appear automatically in new iTunes libraries, especially if they originally configured it once a long time ago for another library.

Is it possible to transfer music/videos from one itunes account to a separate one? I need to give my music and videos that I bought a grandchild to her for her ipad.

Is it possible to transfer music/videos from my itunes account to a grandchild (she will need her own account) I bought her music and videos and let her play with my ipod touch. Now she has an ipad.

No you cannot transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple does not allow it and never has allowed it.
She can use you Apple ID on the device and switch between her ID and your ID, but that can cause problems at times and can become a bit of a pain.

How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop?

How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop? I want to be able to stream a video to my tv while browsing the internet or working on writing on my laptop. Thanks

You would have to use airplay within iTunes then, unless you want to use 3rd party software (ie Beamer)

Streaming video from macbook pro to apple tv

Hello, I understand that you can use airdisplay to stream the whole desktop view to the apple tv. However, I've found that its extremely laggy when I play videos that way. When I do, the video and sound is always off by a second. When I stream using my ipad or iphone to play videos that never happens and runs perfectly. Is there a way to just stream videos from sites like youtube for the mac like the iphone and ipad?
