If I can stream HD on my 1st gen Apple TV can I expect same from 2nd gen?

I just rented Legend of the Guardians in HD on my 1st gen Apple TV and it played instantly at 12pm on Sunday. My connection is 15 mbits according to DSLreports. Can I expect the same performance from Apple TV version 2? When I got the 1st generation Apple TV it sucked for streaming HD and now I never use it for that because the experience was so frustrating. I got an Apple TV 2 for Christmas and I'm trying to decide if I should return it before opening it. Netflix is the main appeal but I can get a bluray player that streams netflix, vudu and more for about the same price. More reliable HD streaming from Apple might be enough for me to keep it.

I have 3 Apple tv's one that is the 1st gen I think 40 gb one that is 160 gb and finally the streaming one. I think that the newer one for me seems to suffer maybe a little more interference than the 1st gen models. My fix with suggestion was to have it run on the 5GHZ side maybe it was interference I don't really know all I know that I can stream movies no problem. I do have cable service at 20 mbps it should have no problems but running at 2.4 I did have problems saying it would take hours before I could watch the movie.I download on Itunes HD movies.

  • I updated my 3gs to 6.1.3 now I can't get mail the phone constantly restarts itself and I can't get it to Restore thanks Apple what can I do?

    I updated my 3gs to 6.1.3 now I can't get mail the phone constantly restarts itself and I can't get it to Restore thanks Apple what can I do?

    Im having the same problem, I updated my Iphone 4S to 6.1.3, shortly after that my phone had no audio. It was working fine one minute and then stopped. Was listening to music when sound gave out on me. It wont ring, phone just vibrates even after turning off vibration option. I've tried all the options listed and nothing. My phone has never been jailbroken either. If I connect the earphones is works perfectly. On one of my last calls received, phone's ringtone was heard for about 2 seconds before muting and just vibrating. Ringtone sounded perfect, speakers did not sound damaged. 
    What else could be done? I've read several post regarding this and it seems like Apple has no solution to this yet. Very dissappointed.

  • Operating Windows 7 Home Premium, 2 user accounts. Running Firefox one user can stream audio and video, the other cannot. Can anyone help?

    Two accounts set up. One can stream audio and video using Firefox, the other account cannot. The account with cannot stream a/v is able to steam a/v using (gasp) MS Internet Explorer. Is there some setting I have screwed up?

    There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

  • HT4437 How do I stream airplay content from 2nd Gen Apple tv 5.1?

    Can't find setting to stream music from Apple tv to AirPlay speaker and AirPort Express..

    It depends on the app you are using to do the streaming. The app will have to support AirPlay. Look for the AirPlay button in the app (see screenshot below.) Home Sharing does not need to be enabled so if you go to a friends house that also has an Apple TV you can stream to it as well.
    Another way to get the content of your iPod Touch to your TV screen is to use the Apple Digital AV Adapter. This will mirror the screen, and play the sound, of your iPod Touch, and other iOS devices, on a TV over an HDMI cable. Only 4th generation iPod Touchs are supported though.

  • Can't play songs due to old Apple ID / Can't authorize music

    I have this really ANNOYING problem where, since I went and got a .mac account and have a new Apple ID, I can't access some songs I bought a couple years ago with my former Apple ID. ITunes keeps asking me to authorize the content, brings up a window with my old ID, I enter the password and it seems to work -- but it doesn't. Every time I try to play the song, it brings the window back up... it's an endless loops and I can't access the songs!
    What is the answer, Apple? Can you not correlate older and newer Apple IDs? Why can't I authorize the music with the old ID if I remember the password? Because the account no longer exists? If that's the case, my music is literally being held hostage without any known recourse. Please advise

    kidsbesides74 I am with you there man, I know I sound like the usual Mac poster, but yes I have been a Mac head forever and have had every iPod/iTunes since the first, but I am STUCK, I have tried all these suggestions, but I can not get the bulk of my iTunes collection, ( 2000 of over 4000) songs to play because of the same problem, It just says that this Apple ID does not exist even though I can see it right there in the >Get Info for each of these songs. I will have to call Apple directly in the morning, I just hope they don't do that thing where they say that I must be doing something wrong. Is there a limit of two Apple ID's , I now have two Apple ID's here at the house and a third at the office could that be the problem ? if so, how do I get the songs I paid for folded into my other account?

  • Can I connect an airCARD 782S to apple wifi, Can I connect an airCARD 782S to apple wifi

    can I connect and aircard 782s to  apple wifi

    Hi,
    According to the http://www.netgear.com.au/service-providers/products/mobile/mobile-hotspots/782s .aspx#tab-techspecs web page, the AirCard 782S is a mobile hotspot. This means that it is a mobile broadband modem and a Wi-Fi base station in one device.
    If you for some reason wish to connect to the WAN port of an AirPort Extreme base station, a mobile broadband modem or hotspot would have to be equipped with an Ethernet port. Special configuration may be required.
    The AirCard 782S does not have an Ethernet port (it may or may not be possible to get one externally: http://www.netgear.com.au/service-providers/products/mobile/mobile-hotspots/782s .aspx#tab-accessories).
    An AirPort Express (http://www.apple.com/airport-express/specs/) could possibly be used to convert Wi-Fi from the hotspot into Ethernet.

  • IPad 2 can stream music but not movie to Apple TV

    Just purchased my iPad 2 recently (love it) and have now installed a new Apple TV unit. Am able to stream music from iPad iTunes to the tv but cannot find the AirPlay pointer for the movie I purchased.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have iPhone 4 with latest software update and an Apple TV (the one with the HDD) and when I have iTunes open on my iPhone and I chose the icon on the bottom right side of the screen (AirPlay) Apple TV does not show up as one of the choices.
    I just did a 'reset' on the Apple TV and it didn't help.
    On my iTunes here on my iMac I can see the choice to stream to the Apple TV.
    Is anyone else having this problem?

  • HT204291 Apple TV mirroring works fine for iPad but not for MacAir (with MtnLion).  The MacAir can stream music and photos to the Apple TV but no mirroring??

    IT will stream photos and music and photostream (screensaver), but no mirroring, not even the icon??

    Is the MackBook Air mid 2011 or newer? Only mid 2011 or newer Macs support AirPlay Mirroring. Read here for system requirements > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I transfer all my music from 2nd gen iPod Touch to iPhone 5?

    When I connect my iPhone 5 to my MacBook Pro (Model MacBookPro2,2) running OS X 10.7.5 and iTunes 10.7 and try to sync, only my recently purchased music is copied to the iPhone.  Is there a way to directly transfer  ALL my music, currently contained on my 2nd ge neration iPod Touch (running iOS 4.2.1) or my first generation iPad to the iPhone 5?

    It needs to be stored on your Mac and in iTunes firs before it can be synced over to your iPhone 5.
    If all the content you want to sync to the iPhone 5 are purchases from the iTunes Store, you can redownload them all via iCloud directly from the iPhone assuming you live in a country where iCloud has gone live.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If it's non iTunes store purchased content that is no longer stored in iTunes on your Mac, you'll need to the help of third party software to help you get the job done. See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • HT201933 How can I use my trackpad and my Apple Magic Mouse at the same time? If I don't have my mouse with me I can't use my laptop. The trackpad only moves an arrow around but doesn't let me click on anything?

    Hi, thanks for your answer,
    No, I connected the midi-in from the blofeld to midi-out from the virus. I was told to do so by the guy who sold me the ultralite mk3.
    I made some tests before getting the ultralite... I used the Virus soundcard as audio device and I could control the blofeld. But I had to link my monitor to the Blofed Out... then I wasn't able to listent to the Virus. But this way I could play the Blofeld in Logic (but couldn't see any midi data and when I bounced I had no sound)
    That's the main reason I decided to buy an external audio device (to be able to play both the Virus and the Blofeld)
    But I think the way I connected Blofeld to Virus is right because I can see the light which means it receives midi data.
    I think it's more about how to set it within logic...
    And the Blofeld only gets one Midi connection: Midi In
    Both my Virus and Blofeld are also connected to my MacPro via USB, that's the reason I didn't connect the synths to the ultralite via midi...
    thanks for you help! I'm getting crazy lol
