I am problems with Apple TV and iTunes streaming

When streaming a movie via AirPlay to my Apple TV 2 from iTunes on my mac the Apple TV keeps either loosing the homesharing or just stops playing and goes back to the main menu. It does it weather sending from the mac to Apple TV or pulling from Apple TV and the same via Ethernet or wifi. Wifi begins streaming quickly but Ethernet can take ages befor streaming begins.
I can use airplay on my iPad fine to watch movies off of the mac and also to send to the Apple TV. Plex works great when using the mac as a server. i stream the movie from the plex server via the plex app on the iPad and then sending to Apple TV via AirPlay.
The problem only seems to be with the Apple TV/ iTunes combo.
Thanks in advance for any help. Been driving me crazy for days.

thanks but I have not upgraded to Yosemite. I have Lion 10.7.5
And like I said it a previous post took the machine to Apple Genuis and he said it was good to go!
Thank You

  • Problem with Apple TV1 and iTunes 11.x

    Since updating my computer to iTunes 11.x, my Apple TV1 no longer lets me transfer my computer iTunes content to the disk on my Apple TV1.  I can stream TV shows that I have recorded to the Apple TV1 for playing (I guess in the way later versions of the Apple TV work) but can't do this for iTunes rented movies - the rented movies don't show up as shared content on the Apple TV1 menu.
    Any suggestions?

    Well, I have updated (Restored) my Apple TV.
    I have turned sleep mode to "never"
    I am running iTunes 10.6.1.7
    The problem still exists.

  • Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

    Hi all,
    after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
    The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
    Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
    Regards
    Michael

    First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
    I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

  • Still problems with Apple id and emails after move to iCloud

    Hi,
    After move from MobileMe to iCloud, there are still problems with apple id's and emails.
    I'm trying to delete a mail (email1) from one apple id, but nothing happens?
    And when i'm trying to add a email (email2), that i Know isn't linked to another apple id, i get the message that it is already in use with another apple id?
    It's a problem when you use these emails with facetime, imessage etc ...

    My iPhone 5 and 4 both are having no trouble connecting to the Apple store, but my iPad (4th Gen) cannot either connect to Apple store, nor stream music using iTunes Radio.  Keeps asking for my Apple ID and password.  When I put it in, it says that I cannot connect.  If I put it in wrong, it tells me its wrong.  Tried changing my password on my desktop PC. The iPhones handled change and continued to connect, but iPad is unable to connect still.
    Any solutions would be appreciated.

    now the aqpple id still comes up as the log on id for itunes and icloud and i cant seem to rectify this even though i have changed all the details around to the new log on id`s ???and i still get her messages and her mine??? its driving me potty? i mean when you change the id surly apple should wipe the old log on? apparently not so if i try to log on with the old details it wont let me on? now i cant buy music or anything else?

  • Older Apple TV and iTunes streaming problem

    I've set up a Mac to act as an iTunes streaming host, mostly for standard-definition video.  Other computers and iOS devices on my home network can play back the content with no issues.  However, two older (hard disk based) Apple TVs we have are unable to play video from the iTunes streaming server.
    One of the Apple TVs is connected via ethernet, the other via wifi.  They can play audio just fine via iTunes streaming.  With video, however, they either lock up for extended periods of time or play the audio while showing a frozen video frame.
    Since audio plays back fine but video doesn't, I'm wondering if the video data rate is too high for these older Apple TV boxes.  The video is standard definition in h.264 format encoded by HandBrake.  The settings used for the video are:
    Video codec:  H.264 (x264)
    Framerate:  same as source
    Quality:  Constant quality (RF: 20)
    Can anyone think of something I might be able to do (other than re-encode all the video at lower bitrates) that might help?

    What bitrate are they, the Apple TV 1 is stated to play video up to 5 Mbps, but I've tested video at 11 Mbps without any problems. You might also try re-encoding a small part of the original source file using other conversion software at the same bitrate to see if it's a problem with handbrake.

  • Help with Apple IDs and iTunes please

    One family member has an iPad2 with one Apple ID that is authorized in iTunes on a Win7 laptop.  That laptop has one Windows user account.  Some apps, books, etc were purchased with that iPad2.
    We recently got a hold of an old iPhone to use as an iPod Touch / super-mini iPad-Mini.  Can I use a separate Apple ID for that iPhone on the same Win7 laptop in the same iTunes as above?  So can iTunes (the program) on one computer be authorized for multiple Apple IDs?  No apps, music, etc need to be shared.
    Thank you! 

    If she doesn't have an iCloud account on her iPhone or iPad now, you can just go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with a different Apple ID to set up the new account, then turn on the data that you want to sync with iCloud.  She can continue to use the same ID for the App and iTunes store; it doesn't need to be the same as the the ID she uses for iCloud.
    If she is already sharing your iCloud account on her devices, you should go to Settings>iCloud on her phone, tap Delete Account (which only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud), when prompted choose Keep on My iPhone, then set up a new account by signing back in with a different Apple ID.  Then turn on the data she wants to sync with iCloud, and when prompted, choose Merge to upload her data to the new account.  After doing this on her phone, go to Settings>iCloud on her iPad, tap Delete Account, when prompted choose Delete from my iPad, then sign into the new account just created on her phone using the new ID and turn on her data syncing to sync the iCloud data in the new account to her iPad.  Finally, if you have any merged data in your accounts from sharing the original account, you'll need to go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and delete the data you don't want from each account.

  • Problems with windows 7 and itunes

    I purchased a new computer which now has windows 7, I am having a problem with iTunes sync my iPod.  I have installed iTunes 3 different times and it still wont sync my iPod touch.  I have the first version of the iPod touch, I am out of solutions on what to do I don't want to have to lose all my music, pics and apps.. Any suggestions on what to do and how to fix this problem thank you!

    Have you tried transferring all of your purchases?
    To do this, plug in your iPod with iTunes open.  (if it starts to sync, let it).  Once it's done syncing, keep your iPod plugged in.  Go to "File" at the top of iTunes and find "Transfer Purchases from iPod".  Click that.  It should start transferring everything from your iPod into iTunes.  Once it's done transferring, sync your iPod again (just to be safe).  Once it's done syncing, unplus your iPod and check each tab on the navigation bar to see if your stuff has transferred and synced (For example, if you transferred music, click the "Music" tab on the left navigation bar, for apps, click "Apps", etc.)
    This worked for me when I couldn't figure out why my stuff wasn't transferring from my iPhone to iTunes by just syncing.  I have to transfer purchases every time I download a new app, song, book, etc.  Hope this helps!

  • Compatability Problem with Album Art and iTunes in Vista?

    Hi there,
    I have album art for all of my music which I have added myself. (I prefer to do so instead of iTunes doing it for me.) However, after purchasing a new computer using Vista, I've encountered a problem.
    When I drag and drop my music into iTunes, only about half of the album art shows up. The rest either isn't loaded or isn't identified by iTunes, even though I know it's there.
    In fact, you can see the album art icon associated with each file when it's organized in its folder on my C: drive. But again, for some reason, much of it isn't loading when I open the files into iTunes.
    I never had this problem using XP. Is it a compatability issue or is there a simple fix I'm unaware of? I'd really appreciate any help!!
    Thanks,
    Michael
    HP Pavillion dv6000   Windows Vista  

    Alright, my apologies, Chris. I don't think I explained myself clearly enough. The files are embedded with the music (these are the same music files that worked just fine in XP.)
    The artwork isn't separate from the actual music file. When you click on the actual music file, you see the ICON associated with the file, and it's the artwork. I suppose that's just a new Vista feature.
    However, I embedded all of the album covers myself, and again, they worked just fine in iTunes with XP. But for some reason, only about half of the album art is being recognized by iTunes even though it's embedded into the actual tag.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • Problems with Apple Mail and SSL SMTP

    All of a sudden I'm having trouble sending mail through SMTP when using SSL on port 465.
    No other mail clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, Entourage) have the problem.
    It was working then quit.
    I'm scratching my head. Any ideas?
    Regards,
    Rob

    Try using a different use account on your computer. If that works, then you know it is a problem with some config files. If so, then move /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist to your Desktop. Restart mail and put in settings. Ideally, it should then work. Good luck!

  • Problems with Apple Configurator and app lock.

    Hello Folks!
    I'm using a bunch of iPod Touch of the 4th generation (iOS 6). I locked them in an app with apple configurator 1.1.2. From time to time I get a message: The guided access is not available any more, contact administrator.
    Reconnecting to the maintance laptop solves the problem.
    How can I prevent this?
    Thanks

  • Problems with Apple Mail and Gmail

    Hiya
    I'm keen to integrate my Gmail Account with Apple Mail via POP3, however having followed the instructions given by Google - it doesn't seem to work correctly?
    I would appreciate if someone would kindly help me. I look forward to hearing from someone.

    Hi,
    I want to setup gmail as the default email.I've tried almost everything..google notifier, don't like to have gmail inbox in my mac apps inbox ( I could do that successfuly ).I hate it actually that I have to use entourage to send photos first to my gmail and then forward to friends.There is nothing wrong with mac mail or entourage but I just love my gmail...help please!
    Apple needs to fix two things to make their mail more popular ( infact the features are great especially with new iLife'08 ) : one , mac mail should be free like all major email services ( I'll be happy with 4GB free space rather than 10GB which they are offering now with subscription ) and second they should create userfriendly environment to use any email ids as default.
    Thx
