Hello, I've just purchased apple tv, 3rd gen, and I'm streaming from my mac book pro to my tv, and it keeps skipping slightly, i have reasonably good internet speed, approx 7-8 Gb.

hi, my apple tv i have purchased which is 3rd gen, is skipping when i stream to my tv, I'm using the latest software on my mac book pro, which is approx 2 years old, my router is only a few months old, but i am using power line adapters, but i have no problem downloading or watching internet telly 4OD/YOUTUBE etc.
is their anything i can do as i have only bought the apple tv for mainly streaming from my mac.
thanks
gary

If you are streaming from your Mac then your internet speed would be irrelevant. This is done over the local network, and that is where the issue lies.
Reboot ATV and router
Make sure router is up to date
If Apple TV is connecting via wifi, connect with ethernet
Go to istumbler.net to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

HT4437 just bought apple tv 3rd gen and can't get it to airplay my 4th gen Ipod and my Iphone

hi all
I just bought an apple tv and was all excited about getting it paired up with my Iphone and Ipod
I brought up itunes on my toshiba satellite laptop running windows seven and I don't see any place to install the code that the remote app keeps telling me I have to install on my computer via itunes. can anyone help me get it up and running? maybe step by step since I probably am not very computer friendly. thanks everyone!

you have to plug your device into your computer. it will pop up on the left side (if running an older itunes), new itunes im not sure where it shows up. click on it, put in the code, unattach device, voila!

HT1551 Can I simultaneously stream from my mac book pro to more then one Apple TV receiver, i.e. same pander in both living room and den or will I have to have two sessions?

Is it possible to simultaneously streaming to multiple Apple TV devices, i.e. have the same music/movie projected to multiple devices, TV in Den and in Living room. Understand two Apple TV devices are required but will my MAC pair with both devices and stream the same material simultaneously? Let me know, Thanks, Eric

Hey ekrebs66,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It is possible to play music from iTunes on multiple speakers, which can include AirPlay to multiple Apple TVs. At this time, the multiple speakers option is compatible with music playback only. For more information, see this article:

Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.

Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone? I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

Ok ce n'est pas le problème alors.

Ok that's not the problem then.
Boot from your install disc and run Disk Utility. The startup disk may need repairing.

Using Apple TV (3rd gen) as a remote speaker from original Apple TV (1st gen)

Just got my new Apple TV (3rd gen) - discovered I can't AirPlay to multiple speakers from it like my old Apple TV (1st gen). As a workaround, can I use the old Apple TV just for music, using the new Apple TV as one of its airplay speakers? Can't seem to. The 3rd gen Apple TV doesn't appear on the original apple TVs list of airplay speakers. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks, and thanks for your reply.
Yes, that does work - from iTunes I can see both apple TVs fine as options in the multiple airplay speakers - I was just really hoping to leave the main computer off and play my music from either the original apple tv's hdd or my iphone.
Prior to buying the new 3rd gen Apple TV I had been doing that for a while, using the original Apple TV to airplay music to speakers connected to its own optical out and via airplay to an express in the dining room.
It's odd that I can see both apple TVs and the express from the multiple speakers option from iTunes, but I can only see the express (and itself) from the original apple TV's multiple speakers menu. (Original Apple TV has been updated to latest software.) Maybe it's just too old to know about the new Apple TV.
Has anyone managed to get an original Apple TV to airplay to multiple speakers where one of those speakers is another Apple TV?

HT201335 I have just bought Apple TV to be able to use from my Mac book pro I have upgraded to OSX Mavericks but cannot get airplay symbol ? Any suggestions?

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the MBP forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

Why doesn't my MacBook Air play videos smoothly even through Apple TV 3rd gen and 8MBPS connection?

Mine is a new MacBook Air and new Apple TV 3rd Gen, however whenever I try to play videos from my Mac Air, the videos are choppy. My internet connection is 8MBPS and both my devices connect on the Ethernet, not cabled. Please help as the Apple TV doesnt play Youtube videos either.

HT201317 Two iPhones-separate Apple IDs & Photo Stream to one Mac Book Pro

Hello everybody, I have a mac book pro 13" my question is, how do I get rid of cookies from my Mac book pro from Warne.

Hello Evetyubody...
My name is Warne how are you all doing...
My question is...
I was bought this great computer a Mac Book Pro 13" by my sister....
I know there are cookies from most if not all web sites, how do I go about getting rid of them if they get in to my Mac.
Any help is good.
Thanks Much.
Warne New Apple User.

It depends on which browser you're using to surf the web.
If you're using Safari then open up safari, select "Safari" from the menu bar (hint: Next to the apple logo on top left corner of the screen) and go to preferences.
Then go to the security tab - show cookies - remove all.
You can get rid of individual cookies as well if you want to specifically delete a particular one.
You can get rid of all the browsing history and all the temporary data by selecting safari from the menu bar, select reset safari, make sure all options are selected and hit OK.
You're good to go!
