How to stream TV Shows/Videos from iTunes library to Apple TV 2nd gen

How? I can't do it! I click on it in my library and it just doesn't show... This is the whole reason I bought this product and it is so complicated!!

I have itunes 10.0.1, homesharing enabled both in itunes and atv2, firewalls off both in router and macbook, and atv2 only occasionally will see my library. Most of the time it just says "loading library" with the pinwheel. The atv2 shows connected to network with 100% signal strength. Netflix and youtube play just fine, but it just cannot seem to stream content from the itunes library with any consistency. Most of the time my library will not show under "computers" in the atv2 menu bar. Sometimes after multiple resets my library will come up and I can play a music video or two, but inevitably upon selection of another song it's back to "loading library" and pinwheel. It's just ridiculous.

  • How to stream the same VIDEO from iTunes to multiple Apple TVs simultaneously?

    I'm trying to stream the same video/movie from iTunes 10.5.2 under Mac OS X 10.7.2 to 2 Apple TVs simultaneously so that they are in sync. We have 2 TVs in our cafe and are trying to send the pre-service video announcements to both screen wirelessly.
    Audio is no problem as I just choose the Multiple Speakers option on the AirPlay icon at the bottom right of iTunes. However, when I choose a video, the Multiple option is not available. I know I can go into the Apple TV menu and choose the video from my Mac that has Home Sharing activated but it is virtually impossible to get the videos synced on both screens.
    Is there something I'm missing or is a 3rd party application available that will do this?
    Please read what I'm trying to do carefully before responding.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I'm also struggling with this.  I have a Mac Mini and 5 ATV2's that I want to stream video content to simultaneously.

  • Problems downloading music tracks from iTunes library to iPod Nano 2nd gen.

    Hi
    I am a new iPod user and have purchased tracks from iTunes and downloaded them to my iPod successfully. I also copied some tracks from a CD to the iTunes software and the next time I synched the iPod it copied all but three tracks onto the iPod on the CD OK. Although the three problem tracks display the title etc information on the iPod they won't play at all on the iPod even though they work fine on my PC using the iTunes library. The CD is a (relatively) new one - Hank Plays Cliff. Why do some tracks load to the iPod but not others?
    Thanks for any advice for a silver surfer!

    I recently had this problem with a Bowling for Soup CD purchased from iTunes Store. iTunes support referred me to this document for assistance http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n300766. When this did not work, they reposted the songs to my account so that I could download them again. When that still did not work, they determined there was a problem with the songs themselves and refunded my purchase price.

  • I am playing TV show from itunes library via Apple TV on my HDTV. However, It is trasnmitting only video signal

    I am playing TV show from itunes library via Apple TV on my HDTV. However, It is trasnmitting only video signal & no Audio. I have checked in my itunes, & have ensured "Apple TV" has been choosen in the bottom for streaming.
    I have connected APPLE TV to my HDTV via HDMI cable.
    Itunes is installed in my laptop.
    I access itunes library on APPLE TV Menu & Try to watch the TV show that is downloaded.
    But it is only streaming Video & no Audio in that.
    Can any one help me here.!!!

    3G is too slow.  wifi is faster.
    Or am I just being too impatient and eager to watch my show?
    This is how I do it.

    Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
    You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

  • Data usage when streaming from iTunes library to Apple TV?

    I'm trying to manage my GB data usage through my ISP and was curious if, while streaming between my iTunes library and Apple TV television shows I have previously downloaded, is that using any data whatsoever? I know I used data to actually download the show initially, but once its just sitting in my library, and I call it up from my Apple TV later and start playing it, is there data usage going on?  Thanks!

    Home sharing and AirPlay don't use any data, they are done over the local network. It will then depend on the source. If any content in your iTunes library has a cloud icon then it will be streamed, if it resides on your hard drive then there is no internet connection required apart from iTunes purchases (pinging server for verification)

  • IMovie: viewer isn't showing video from project library

    My viewer was working fine until I imported a project created on another MacBook. After it was imported, the viewer stopped showing video from the prject library. Audio works fine.

    ANSWER: I removed all the imported files completely from my computer. Viewer is working again. Not sure what was wrong with the files - some of them were from a digital camera (Sony Cybershot) and converted to MOV. I'm thinking iMovie no likey?

  • Is there a way to view private photos from Flickr on my Apple TV (2nd gen)?

    I've just started using Flickr as a central platform from which to view family photos, in part because of the number of ways there are to access them, e.g. iPhone, iPad, web, and Apple TV.
    Now, however, it appears the only way to get photos from Flickr to show up my Apple TV (2nd gen), is to make them public. I do not wish for all my photos to be public; is there any way around this restriction?

    I am not aware of any workarounds to this restriction.

  • I recently downloaded a tv show and my iPod said that i need wifi to watch it. How do i download a video from iTunes so I dont need wifi?

    I recently downloaded a tv show from itunes and my ipd said that i need wifi to watch it. How do i download it so i can watch it with out wifi?

    I think the issue may be that these TV shows are in HD. Would that keep them from playing?
    Yes.  Sounds like you are trying to sync the HD version of the TV Episode.  You should try to download the Standard Definition copy instead and sync that to your device as HD content is not compatible with the Nano.  See here for more information:
    iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available.  You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

  • How to delete video from iTunes library

    Hello, I've only had my ipod for a few weeks now. I've finaly figured out how to rip dvds/encode them, etc. During this trial and error period I was putting all kinds of junk in my itunes library.
    My question is how to remove videos from my itunes library.
    ..one more question.
    I've been using a dvd ripper and video converter made by Xilisoft. After I import the movie from my pc to itunes video library and ipod, I've noticed that the audio doesn't match up with the video. Its like watching a poorly dubbed kung fu movie. Has anybody used Xilisoft software and had the same problems? If so, what did you do to recify the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    OK, I finally figured it out. I still don't have the clear option available. I had to double click on video, highlight, then press delete.
    I'm curious why I don't have a clear option like I do in library.
    Oh well, at least I can delete old files from my itunes now.
    Thanks for the quick responses.

  • How do I permanently delete music from iTunes library and iPhone?

    I had some old music I didn't like anymore so I went to delete it but it still shows up in my iTunes library and my phone. I plug in my phone to my laptop and in iTunes, all of the apparently deleted songs are gray text instead of black and they all have a gray, dotted circle next to it and this is really bothering me because all I see is clutter. Same goes for my phone. When "Show All Music" is turned off, I don't see any of the deleted songs which is what I want but when it's turned on, they come back with the iCloud symbol next to it and I don't like that at all. I want ALL of my songs to be PERMANENTLY DELETED meaning that if "Show All Music" is turned on or off, I don't want to see the music in my phone or in my iTunes library.

    Hi Jessica,
    I found an article how you could do that on iTunes: iTunes Store: How to delete songs from iCloud - Apple Support and another blog post on this issue: http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/delete-phantom-icloud-songs-your-iphone-015457 5/
    Give it a try.
    With kind regards,
