If I pause music through apple tv using my iPad 3 as remote it kicks me out of home sharing

I use my iPad 3 as a remote for apple tv to play my iTunes content from my iMac.
To start with, why does every now and then the iTunes library drops off apple tv whilst in use? I have to lose the screen saver on my mac and then it comes back to life on apple tv,
More annoyingly, if I pause iTunes track on my iPad remote to the apple tv it kicks the iTunes library off almostly instantly! Meaning I have to go in the other room, wake my iMac then go back to my iPad remote app for it come be there again. Plus I have then go back to my playlists and start over again finding the music I was listening too!!
This is very frustrating,,
Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks Ferretbite, but that's not the issue in my case, the songs are not part of a compilation. I just checked several of them and the "Part of a compilation" box is unchecked.....it seems as if the song does not have an album associated with it, it will not display under the artist when I search by artist on the iPad remote which REALLY stinks.
Hope someone else might have a solution.

  • HT1947 Why can't I see all songs for an artist when using iPad remote for home sharing music through apple tv.

    Why can't I see all my songs for an artist when I search by artist using iPad remote? I'm listening to music via home sharing through apple tv using iPad 2 as my remote. All my songs seem to be listed fine under "songs", but when I select "artist" many of the songs I have for that artist are not there, any idea why that is or how I can fix this.....I suspect it's because many songs may not be associated with an album and it seems only songs in albums are displayed when I search by artist.

  • Using ipad with remote app, I cannot change to watching a movie from listening to music through Apple TV without resetting the procedure. It only changes the song

    it might be worth checking your TV settings to see if it has an option for different settings based on whether using the tv speakers or headphones.
    Normally you should be able to control the sound via the tv.
    Have you tried it without the headphones?

  • I would like to know if it is possible to connect my iPad to my Mac which will then be connected to apple tv. In a sense, I would like to see if I can use my iPad as a remote for apple tv.

    merp

    You can download the remote App from the itunes store and this will control you Apple TV remotely.  Make sure you have Home Sharing switched on.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • Why does my apple tv keep dropping out of home sharing.

    why does my apple tv keep dropping out of home sharing.

    I use homeplug powerline adapters to create my home Lan. I've never had any problem with my ATV 2.
    This isn't ideal either, I would rather have shielded CAT7 cables reach all the way to my modem.
    Either way, wired solutions are more reliable and have a higher potential speed as wireless uses pulsed electromagnetic radiation as a means for transportation in stead of copper or fiber optic cables
    The World Health Organization's IARC has recently classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly level 2 carcinogenic to humans, concluding:
    "the evidence, while still accumulating, is strong enough to support a conclusion and the 2B classification. The conclusion means that there could be some risk, and therefore we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk."

  • I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or atleast maintain the charg over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

    You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
    The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.

  • How to stream music through Apple TV?

    Just learning the uses of Apple TV. So I know it mirrors devices & can turn tv into a huge monitor, but what else can it do? How to play music through it, since it's not connected to home stereo?

    The Apple TV will not act as a computer in any way.
    It connects via wifi to your home network.
    Home sharing allows it to show your iPhoto pictures, iTunes content, Apple radio and more through the TV
    You can play your Netflix or Hulu membership with Apple TV Apps.
    Movies or TV shows purchased or rented can be shown with Apple TV
    Many people use a sound bar or are connected to a home theater which improves music quality.
    I prefer my Roku to the Apple TV because it has more Apps (Amazon among others) 
    If you have a Windows PC, rather than a Mac, you should consider Roku not Apple TV

  • Streaming netflix through apple tv using airpot extreme.

    I am having trouble streaming netflix through my apple tv using airport extreme router.  How can I fix this problem?

    What kind of problems?
    Accessing Netflix from AppleTV or Airplaying Mirroring via iPad (which would be pointless as it's available on AppleTV direct even if it worked)?
    Does other stuff like movie rentals, iTunes previews work ok?

  • I have multiple itunes accounts... can i sign into all of them and drag music... without having to sync them all?... is that what home sharing is? please help.. i use to be able to get music from any account but now it says im already attached to one!

    i use to just get music from any computer i plugged my ipod it... including whatever account... but lately im not allowed ... it says im already synced to another account... diid they change their policy? ... how do i fix this... i want to be connected to three accounts.... is that what home sharing is? will it enable me to get from all three?

    When you delete items (movies, music, whatever) from your iTunes library the sync software automatically deletes those items from your iPod. The sync's goal is to make your iPod mirror your iTunes library.
    When you use the "only sync checked items" it tells the software that <only> those items are to be on your iPod -it will delete other items from that category.
    I don't have a video iPod to test with, but I think your only option is to sync everything you want onto your iPod, and then turn off sync completely, in favor of manual updates.

  • My Apple TV won't connect to my iTunes library on my windows pc home sharing is on and iTunes is open

    I can't get my Apple TV to connect to my windows pc to play music through my iTunes apple remote has a similar problem

    Thanks for the advice. Just had time to retest everything with the latest software and firmware versions. Even with Windows Firewall completely switched off my Apple TV can not connect to my iTunes library. The ironic thing is that my PC can no longer Airplay to my Apple TV after the latest updates, so things are actually getting worse ;-)
    I even restarted my router as some posts seemed to indicate this fixed similar issues for others but sadly not for me.
    I can at least still AirPlay from my iPad to my Apple TV, which is the main reason I bought the Apple TV, and the NetFlix client on the Apple TV is still one of the best as it supports captions.
    I have seen another post from another Win7 64bit user with similar problems so not sure if there is a solution out there yet.
    I also have some Samsung products and they can not interwork either so the grass is not greener on the other side ;-)

  • HT4557 Hi, we have just purchased Apple TV and having some problems connecting to the iPad. It is asking us to 'connect to Home Sharing in iTunes' however I can't find the link/ button to press. iPad has been updated. Any help please

    Hi,
    We have just purchased Apple TV and can't connect to Home Sharing. We have wifi, the iPad is updated. I can't find the link on ITunes on the iPad that the tv is telling me to click. I've also tried turning it on via settings then music which seems to be connected. I can view YouTube clicks on the tv, but not an app so I can watch the footy. What am I doing wrong.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks

    Make sure your Apple TV is on the same network as your iPad. The SSID and password of router must be set in your Apple TV.

  • My Apple tv has connection problems. I receive not connected to internet or home sharing not on even though it is

    Apple TV is allways asking me to turn on home sharing, home sharing is allready on so I have turn it off and then turn it back on. Also it is telling me that it is not connected to the internet even though I entered my network key correctly and all my other Apple wireless devices are working perfectly. Any ideas please ?

    Having reread your post, i note you say you connected the thernet cable to a wifi extender, are you by any chance using the wifi extender when trying wifi and by extender do you mean a WDS extended network. I have seen quite a few reports that networks extended using WDS have problems.
    Although it may be a weak signal, are you able to temporarily disable WDS to see if this resolves the connection issue.

  • How can I listen to music through Apple TV

    receiver but still be watching TV?
    Whenever I switch over to "Game" which is the HDMI port for the Apple TV - I can no longer see TV - I get the Apple TV screensaver.
    Football! Music! What to do?
    thx

    Have tried to switch off ATV while using airplay from my ipad. I started with the TV on, started streaming from the iPad to the ATV. Worked well. Then I switched off the TV. The music stopped for about 5 seconds, then my Receiver switched something and the music continued. When I switch the TV on again, the music stops again for about 5 seconds, the receiver switches again and the music continues. Guess my receiver is intelligent enough to figure out when the picture signal through HDMI is no more required, to use only the audio signal. I have a high end Sony receiver that is about 4 years old. Everything is connected through HDMI.
