I've just updated my Apple TV now streaming from my iTunes Library is very slow

I've had Apple TV since november and ever since i've installed it, it has worked like a treat and is a great way to watch content on my iMac. unfortunately since i have done a recent update on Apple TV it is having real issues with the content on my itunes library, streaming on netflix is fine, i am having no issues with my internet, it is just stuck loading when it comes to content on from my iMac. Has anyone else had this problem? is it the update? and is there a way of correcting the error. I have tried:
restarting Apple TV
restarting itunes
rebooting iMac
resetting Apple TV
Restoring Apple TV
signing in and out of itunes
nothing works.....Help!

its not apple going "down the tubes" its that you have windows junk.  These opinion best left at apple.com/feedback
you need to completely uninstall itunes and all components
see these for help

  • Updating iTunes library is very slow

    My iTunes library lives on an external drive, so when I'm away from my desk at home, my MacBook Pro defaults back to the internal drive if I use iTunes while disconnected from the main library. Before the 7.2 upgrade this workflow worked fine: I would mount my external drive with my library, reset the library location in iTunes prefs, and iTunes would go about "Updating iTunes library" after which I could consolidate to copy over anything I added while not connected to the external drive.
    Since the 7.2 upgrade, updating the library is EXTREMELY slow. Granted my library is large (300GB), but the procedure used to take at most a few minutes, and now after 7.2 it is more like 15 minutes. Any ideas why? I'm also open to suggestions for a better workflow for handling an external library, and reconciling it with my MacBook.
    I appreciate your help!

    Hi
    I am having the same issue - what's interesting is I thought it was how I connect to the external drive with all my music on it - currently I connect to a newer model airport extreme with a lacie 1T drive attached. joined to that network is an airport express through which i play music (connected to a stereo).
    like you, updating my itunes library took a minute or 2, now it takes over 15 minutes. not cool. also my library is only 180GB.
    you asked how to manage music on multiple drives, one program i use is called "folder sync" and with it i can make sure anything i've added gets put into the larger library on the external drive...i do this to the album artwork folder too BTW.

  • AppleTV: How can I see what song is playing if I am viewing my photos in slide show mode on Apple TV and streaming from my iTunes?

    How can I see what song is playing if I am viewing my photos in slide show mode on Apple TV and streaming music from my iTunes?
    Thanks.

    Thank you Winston. I guess we need to ask that this feature gets added at least as an option in an upcoming release. When someone is using shuffle, it helps to know what is playing while viewing pictures.
    Where is my Apple request button when one needs it ? :-) Cheers, C

  • Apple TV is "Loading" from my iTunes library forever

    The first day I used my new Apple TV, everything worked fairly well. Today, however, when I select my iTunes Home Sharing library under the "Computers" menu, I get UI that says 'Loading "MyComputerName"' accompanied by a spinning icon-- which sits there and spins forever.
    It never finishes loading my movies and music. I do have over 1,000 videos in iTunes but it shouldn't take that long to load the playlists.
    What's going on and is anyone else seeing this problem? Why is Apple TV too stupid to handle this error?

    I have spent the last hour trying to simply watch a movie in my bedroom. Something that use to take 1 minute by popping a DVD in. This is probably the 20th time this has happened. I WANT MY TIME BACK APPLE!!!! You're not part of the solution any more. You're creating more problems. I've been a fan of Apple for 30 yrs and everything I have is Apple including MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, MacMini, IMac, Mac Pro, Airport, iPhone, & ipad. The reason you are proprietary is so things work together. WELL, FIX IT! Can you at least tell me while I'm waiting what AppleTV is doing when it says "Loading Library" for up to an hour. Is it trying to make connection? Is it downloading data? Instead I sit there wondering what could be causing the problem. You are obviously waisting thousands of combined human hours that should have been worked out in your R&D. I WANT MY TIME BACK!
    I would think it is my configuration or the amount of movies I have in my library but it work fine with the old AppleTV. I could always count on clicking the remote for instant access. Now it's a crap shoot. Please someone from Apple tell me there is a solution that will not waste any more of my time. Is it the new Home Sharing that is causing it? Can I go back to connecting without home sharing?

  • Prevent computer sleep when Apple TV is streaming from iTunes ...

    Hi,
    Is it possible to prevent my computer from going to sleep when my Apple TV is streaming from my iTunes library ?  I was told that I can watch a port to see if there is data  streaming through it. 
    What is the port used for this ?
    Regards.

    Hi Chris,
    My computer does not go to sleep in response to the system preferences's setup.  It has always been like that since I bought my iMac.  I have submitted this problem to this forum many times and was never able to find a clue.
    I don't have any other problem with my iMac and it works great.  I also didn't want to go through a full reinstall.  In order to get it to sleep, I wrote a little handler script that monitors my computer's activity.  It looks at specific apps or processes and monitors their activity.  If none of these apps or processes have been active for a specified amount of time, the script forces my computer to sleep.
    When streaming is pushed from iTunes to my Apple TV, iTunes is then acting as a server.  I can see if it is using CPU.  I monitor it's activity and put it to sleep when the delay is expired.  When streaming is pulled from my Apple TV, iTunes does not use my CPU and I don't know how to monitor this specific «pulled streaming».  I hope that this better explains what I am trying to do.
    Thanks in advance.

  • I just updated my apple tv 2nd gen, now it doesn't work right.

    I just updated my apple tv now I can't get it to verify my iTunes account. All it says is can not verify account until network date & time set. I can log into my mobile me, preview movies in iTunes, but can't watch Netflix. Any one else have a similar problem? It was working fine until I updated it. I've also reset it twice.

    You need a microUSB cable to connect to computer running iTunes (no other leads).  See:

    I just had this issue. Go into settings and reset the Apple TV after the firmware update. (note just "reset settings" and NOT back to factory settings)

  • Just updated my Apple TV and all it shows now Is a picture of it needing to be plugged into iTunes, do I really need to buy a micro USB cord? This seems absurd!

    This indicates the device is in recovery mode.
    Connect it to a computer running iTunes and restore it.

  • HT3180 I just updated my Apple TV 2 and now it is flashing and not working at all.  Help

    I just updated my Apple TV 2 and now it is flashing and not working at all.  Help

    I just did the update to version 5.2 on our ATV2 and now I'm having the exact same problem as the OP- all attempts to access any iTunes services i.e. Movies or TV result in dropping back to the ATV Main menu.   Per Winston's suggestion, I logged out of iTunes and then tried to log back in.  I am getting a message "the server is not responding- please try again later".
    FWIW- all my non-iTunes services on the ATV are working fine- i.e. Netflix and YouTube.
    Sounds like the update has overwhelmed the Apple servers.

  • I just updated my IPOD and now the only apps that open are the ones that came on it! what do i need to do?

    i just updated my IPOD and now every app except the apps that come on it wont open.

    - Reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - If not successful try downloading/installing a new app. Pick a small free app.

  • I just updated to ios5 but now can't sync because it's telling me my "other" section in the overview has grown to 10.2gig?!  What does that "other" section in the overview include and how can I reduce it to get my phone to sync??

    Thanks for the help.  The restore seems to have solved the problem.  I had a bit of a panic attack when things started going haywire and the Apple 'Support' told me to call back during business hours! 

  • I just updated my iPad an now it I s super slow...

    I just updated my iPad an now it is super slow, I lost all my music, and it keeps stopping whatever I was currently doing an goes back the the home screen. what is u, and how do I fix it?

    There are a few things that you could try for the apps abending. First try closing all apps via the taskbar and then see if they work ok when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A second option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If you have iCloud enabled on the iPad in Settings > iCloud then turning it off might also help (but see if the above two things help first).
    In terms of your music, is it not on your computer's iTunes ? Music isn't included in a backup so for the update/restore process to be able to copy it back to your iPad it needs it be on the computer's iTunes that you used to update via. If they are iTunes purchased music and you don't have them on your computer or on a backup, then depending upon which country that you are in you might be able to re-download them from the store : re-downloading.
