For all those with D-Link routers and problems with iTunes dropping AppleTV

My setup: Custom built WinXP PC with iTunes 7.6.2. Apple TV w/Take 2. D-link DI-624 wireless N router, wired to the PC, wireless to the aTV.
I have an intersting phenomenon occuring with my Apple TV. I can sync the aTV to my PC and it works fine, but the first time we receive a phone call on our VOIP phone, the router drops the ATV connection to the PC. aTV still has internet connectivity, but iTunes on the PC cannot see the aTV, and I cannot sync.
A search yielded gobs of folks with D-link routers and iTunes/AppleTV connection issues. I just won an Airport Extreme router off ebay...as soon as I have a chance to test it out I will post back in this thread as to the results.
I know folks don't like the solution to be "spend more money", but I think it would be worth it to a lot of people if they knew a different router would solve their issues (rather than continuing to guess or throw money at the problem randomly).

I have a WinXP PC and a Linksys G class router. I am on Comcast broadband cable. Both ATV and PC are on wireless link. And I have tried a borrowed Apple Airport router (G class). That didn't help resolve this problem so far. I don't think it is a router issue as you will see that many folks on this forum have the same problem with a wide mix of environments. Many of them are on pure Apple components and so one cannot blame Microsoft and non-Apple devices.
Having said this, I hope the new router resolves your issues. In my case, the only option left is to keep calling Apple Care.

  • For all those who want 2gb RAM and fast timings...

    We all know the current A64 memory limitation on using 4 DIMMS and I know many people want to get 2gb of RAM in their systems with good timings.  Well here is our answer:

    Well she is being dificult at the momen... hehe.
    3.70 ghz @ 370 mhz frequency with just 1.63 volts vcore is beyond all posibilities. Such speed would require a minimum of 1.65 volts, not less, to be stable. Temperatures, or how they are, indicate the CPU could run up to 1.7 volts with out any problems, its a shame the motherboard doesn't deliver that voltage.
    Could a BIOS update change this??? I am not going to run at this speed all the time... but I want to be able to; is volt mod the only posibility?
    Like Jack Nicholson has been quoted in some movie - "Women, ya can't live with 'em and ya can't kill 'em!"
    Anyways... I don't know man. I'd be wary of a volt mod myself these days, maybe I'll go for it right before next "upgrade cycle" - when it won't matter if I bungle the job with my rudimentary soldering skills.
    I wonder what Gary (aka - The Uber Clocker, TheSaucier) is running his rig at these days? He'd probably know. Come to think of it, I haven't "seen" him prowling around hereabouts lately... Hope he hasn't blown himself up or ran afoul of any landslides.
    Or maybe he's attained sufficent CPU frequencies to really "Go where no one has gone before"!    More likely he's "jumped ship" & is attaining OC Nirvana with the next "hot" brand of mobo - whatever that is.

  • Yoga 2 10inch with Win 8.1 and problem with CCleaner

    Hi guys!
    I bought my new Yoga 2 10inch with Win 8.1 few days ago and everything was all right, until i installed CCleaner. The CCleaner app window doesn't move smoothly when i'm using it by touch screen and touch pad, choosing the options works slowly and it doesn't display correcly...
    Do you have the same problems?
    Thanks a lot and sorry for my english

    I guy on Youtube made a rough tutorial.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI8AnNBIlLQ
    Englisch subtitles available
    In the comments he suggests, to download the Iso with anouther win-8.1-key - no matter which one - and to install the system clean. In his opinion the system will get the key from the hardware. He is writing, that there is just a universal iso. So it's no problem to download an iso with another key, even if your system is a Home-Edition and you download it with a Pro-Key.
    I will try this.

  • Need help with WRT54G - no software and problems with internent

    I'm sure I'm asking a common problem which has been answered already, but I couldn't find any solutions and I'm running out of time (re: getting frustrated as hell). I'm trying to set up a wireless network at my home. The internet/desktop/cable modem work fine. However, when I try to run the connection through the router, the connection fails. The appropriate lights on the router all light up, however. Is there something on the pc I need to do/change? Also, the disk drives on the pc don't work, so I can't load the setup software. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

    What is the Version no. of your Router ? You can see it when you flip the router..
    As your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link to configure your Router.

  • For all those out there with Iphone5 WIFI issues,Please READ THIS

    I pre-ordered my iphone 5 (Black) got that last week. Quickly backed up my Iphone 4 and Restored my iphone 5.The first thing i checked to see is connecting to my WIFI network at home. And i kept getting a message "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO THE NETWORK". I had the iphone 4 aside and i can see iphone 4 is connected just fine. So are my laptop, Ipad and other devices.
    So what is different in Iphone5?
    After couple of days of head banging, and phone calls with apple support. I finally gave up and went to a apple store , they said, They have not heard any WIFI issues and my case was the first , However to keep me happy they said they will replace my device, But if have the same issue ,they will NOT be able to replace it again. And they even showed me the new iphoen connects to their "Non-secured" apple WIFI network.
    So i take the new phone home, and the first thing i try is connecting to WIFI.And i still get "Unable to connect to the wifi network ".And i still can see Iphone 4 working fine and connecting to the same network just fine. With the second iphone5 also not working, I realized it is not hardware, but something surely changed with WIFI in iphone 5. I have a NETGEAR router with its latest firmware installed(2.0.26). I then downgraded my firmware to 2.0.21, then gave a shot.
    BINGO..Iphone 5 works fine connects to wifi.and so is my iphone4 too.
    So for all those users out there, the fact is something changed in iphone 5 WIFI algorithm. And if anyone really disagrees with me on this, I am going to post a video to demonstrate on YOUTUBE. I believe it is completely UNFAIR for apple to now ask you Upgrade/change your router or its firmware. And it is not fair for router companies to Fix anything to make their firmware compatible with iphone5.
    So iphone 5 Users, Please lets us all push for a fix on this issue. WE WANT FIX.

    I can't tell you how frustrated/disappointed I was when this exact situation happened to me. I upgraded my wife's iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 just to find out that it wouldn't connect to my home wifi but would connect everywhere else. Guess what...
    I found a fix!!
    On you iPhone go to Settings, General, About, scroll to "WiFi Address". Now stay there.
    Log-in to your modem thru your web browser via IP Address. (Keep in mind, I use a 2Wire modem, yours may be different) Clicked "Wireless" for wireless settings, scrolled down to "MAC Filtering" and clicked "Edit Allowed/Blocked Device List". At the bottom, there's a field to which you can manually enter a MAC address to you allow or block. If you're using a different modem with different menus/options, just browse around til you find a similar option of manually adding MAC addresses for access or blocking.
    MAC Address = Wifi Address. See where i'm going with this?
    Type the WiFi Address from you iPhone in the MAC address field, click "Add to List". If MAC filtering is enabled, it'll be added to the BLOCK list, simply click on the address, and click the double arrow pointing towards the ALLOW list so it'll transfer lists to where you want it, then click save.
    Now go back to your iPhone and attempt to re-connect to your wifi network as you normally would & voila!
    This worked for me, i hope it works for you as well.

  • I have duplicate pictures in "my catalog" that I believe come from two Adobe folders found under "my pictures/adobe/ one is Revel and the other is Photoshop express which preceded revel. Can I delete those two folder without causing a problem with my cata

    I have duplicate pictures in "my catalog" that I believe come from two Adobe folders found under "my pictures/adobe/ one is Revel and the other is Photoshop express which preceded revel. Can I delete those two folder without causing a problem with my catalog?

    Thanks for the links, Limnos.
    If you are willing to continue helping, here's what I found.
    Just to clarify the two iTunes folders I am refering to are:
    username-->Music-->iTunes
    HD-->iTunes
    I am presuming each location has a full set of files as outlined in the above links?
    Not all the files are in both locations. Most are.
    - The Itunes folder in my home folder does not have itunes library.xml.
    - The Itunes folder in my home folder has a subfolder called Mobile Applications (username-->Music-->iTunes--> Mobile application). The Itunes folder at the HD level also has a Mobile Application folder but it is a subfolder of Itunes Media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media-->Mobile applications) and has no files in it.
    - I do not have an iTunes Media in the iTunes folder in my home folder.
    - also the Itunes media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media) has subfolders by type (books, movies, itunes u, music etc...) but the iTunes Media-->Music also has some of the same subfolders ( iTunes Media-->Music-->books, iTunes Media-->Music-->Movies, iTunes Media-->Music-->iTunes U). Is this normal repetition?
    You say:
    /itunes/itunes media/ music
    but it is important to note what comes before all that.
    There is nothing as far as I can tell before that first forward slash. Since the only iTunes Media folder I have is in the iTunes folder that resides at the HD level (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media folder) not the iTunes folder in my home folder (username-->Music-->iTunes) , I assume that's the one that holds the music.
    Keep iTunes media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are both checked on
    Does that give more clarity into my problem?

    Hi Suzy Q,
    I can send and receive calls.
    I get "messaging stopped" when doing a lot of texts.
    Texts come up "ghosted" meaning they have the text on the bottom and a transparent one overlaid  on top. they then become one. But I get the ghosting most of the time when I go into a message from a contact to send a text.
    When I go to call logs or text logs, the numbers come up first, and then then the names pop up randomly, meaning not in order down the page, until they are all shown. lots of lag time.
    It runs slow.
    I have 5 apps on here. I should be able to have a  lot of apps on here, and play music, and have files, and...and....and.
    I can get online but doing a Google search, when the page with the choices comes up, it is blurred and I have to tap on the screen for it to become clear and readable.
    When online and scrolling, it hitches sometimes/lags/gets stuck then unstuck
    I get VZWAVS has stopped. (not sure if those are the right letters)
    The status bar that is supposed to be gray with the new update, goes back and forth between green--the old os--to gray. And I have found no continuity with when I get green or when I get gray.
    I get a black screen on occasion.
    sometimes the proximity sensor doesn't work.
    sometimes when I have my bluetooth on and have "hands free mode" on, I get the a text message read through the headset and also through the handset.
    I soft reboot often--turn it off wait a bit and

  • Okay. Question for all those IT wirzards (

    Okay. Question for all those IT wirzards (& iTunes) experts out there. Anyone know why a playlist (Purchased) keeps dropping off my playlists in iTunes??l This has happened at least 15-20 times to me in the past couipe of years. Fofrtunately for me, I saved these songs to an external hard drive, so retrieval won't be so painful. Guess I just want to know how to avoid this going forward.

    Just that one playlist goes missing and no other content? No idea. But it is clear you ought to have a backup so you can restore the database should it happen again.

    c) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
