IPad2 slideshow on Apple TV2

I am trying to use the slideshow on my iPad2 and show it on the Apple TV2. The slideshow starts but stops abruptly after the second slide and brings me back to a blank screen on the TV and a single image on my iPad2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm....don't think so. It came with my Apple TV2. Found it with the remote on the screen in the far right. Works just fine for music and individual images but can't get it to work with the slideshow for some reason.
good luck,

I am trying to sync my Ipad2 and my apple tv2

I am trying to sync my ipad2 and my apple tv2 so that I can see my IPad aps on my tv and play the games on my tv? I think it is done through AirPlay but I don't know how?

Slideshow bug in 4.2.1 when pushed using AirPlay to Apple TV2

Anyone else found this bug?
(after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1 and Apple TV 4.1)
If you enable a Photos slideshow on the iPhone and change the custom transitions/photo lengths, everything plays fine on the iPhone 4 as expected. However, now that you can stream to the Apple TV2 using AirPlay, there is a bug in the 4.2.1 software. If you start your Photos slideshow on your iPhone, then press the airplay icon (top right of the screen), it streams your slideshow to Apple TV2. Great news! However, the issue is that the pushed slideshow only shows photos using the dissolve transition with 2 second intervals between photos, regardless of your user defined slideshow options. As soon as you disable the AirPlay and go back to the slideshow on your iPhone, it plays fine using your custom settings.
Am I crazy, or is anyone else finding this using the iOS and Apple TV2 updates today???

I have an ipad running ios 4.2 and my slideshow only does the shuffle with repeat and either 2 or 3 second (not sure which one it is) show time. Rebooted, changed the settings, etc. But still stuck with those settings when running the slideshow.

AirPlay from ipad2 to apple tv2

When I am watching a movie on my ipad2 via homesharing I'm unable to AirPlay it to my apple tv2. The apple tv2 AirPlay icon shows a speaker next to it rather than the tv icon. Are there any particular settings I should look for?

You are streaming a video from a pc to your iPad.
You want to stream it from the pc to the iPad then stream from the iPad to an appletv?
Why?
Why not just stream from the pc to the appletv?

Ipad 1 and Apple TV2

My brother, who lives in a nursing home with Wi-Fi, wants to "show" the photos on his ipad (1st generation) on a large HDMI compatable television screen (to teach a class).an He does NOT have a computer. Can he use Apple TV2 to "project" the pictures one at a time (not a slideshow)?
Thanks, Patricia

I have the original iPad,too! Until iPad3 comes out and I can see what significant advances/advantages it will have over my iPad1, I have stayed with my iPad1 and it gets a lot of use everyday. I would love to see video mirroring implemented, as well. That said, the reason it, probably, hasn't happened is that the iPad1 may not have enough bulit-in RAM to support both video on the iPad and outputting of video to another device simultaneously.

Apple TV2 Sound problem with LG PLasma TV model42PG60UD

Hi
I Purchased an Apple TV2 last week and have been unable to get sound on my LG PLasma TV Model # 42PG60UD and need help. There is sometimes a little static noise. The actions I have taken so far to resolve are
Tried Apple TV in 4 different HDMI slots on TV
Confirmed cable I was using was OK by testing with DVD Player, DVD recorder, X Box, WII. Sound and picture OK on all
Tried 2 other HDMI cables with same results as above
Unplugged everything so only Apple TV was plugged in to television.
Altered audio settings in Apple TV and television as per other discussions on this subject. Dolby on/off/auto. 16 Bit. Dolby or PCM on television.
Confirmed Apple TV2 OK by testing on another television.
Tried using optical digital cable from Apple TV to television.
Apple tech called me to run through and could not solve and suggested i return the unit.
The unit works well. Can play video, view youtube, watch trailers, watch photo slideshows from Itunes etc just cannot hear anything.
Any comments appreciated on settings, configuration etc
Regards

It may be an incompatibility with the TV - as the tech suggested if it's only 2 weeks old try another.

Apple TV2 slow to play

I hate to add to this chorus of compaints regarding the Apple TV2, but I too just purchased an Apple TV2 for Christmas. All my movies are already loaded on my Mac Pro and exist in iTunes. It is not a problem with downloading or streaming from Apple. They play fine on the MacPro. The regular definition movies play almost instantly on my Apple TV2.
The Problem is that I cannot get it to play an HD movie. I purchased my first HD movie from the iTunes store last night. It downloaded from the iTunes store to my Mac Pro in approximately 20 minutes along with what appears as a regular definition version of the movie and "extras". I have been watching over 20 minutes of spinning beachballs waiting for it to begin playing on the Apple TV2. The Airport Utility says that Apple TV2 connection to my Airport Extreme is "Excellent" with a data rate of 65 MB/s, an RSSI (whatever that is) of -49, and a Mode of 802.11 b/g/n
Can anyone help? Otherwise this device is useless for me to watch HD video. My Mac Pro is running the latest version of Snow Leapord (10.6.8) and all other software is up to date with the latest version.
Is there a reset that I need to push? Anything?

Just got off the phone with Apple Support. There procedure was the following:
1. Go to the Apple TV, select settings, general and scroll down to reset.
2. Select reset and then select reset all
Apple TV will go through a restart after the reset and you will have to select your network then log in with your network or Airport Express password. You will then have to turn on home sharing and It will then ask you for your Apple ID for the iTunes store and then the password. At this point you may not see your library, because the Apple TV wants you to turn on home sharing on your home computer that is hosting the movie library. Turn off home sharing on that computer, restart iTunes and turn on home sharing again. After this is done you should be able to see you library listed under the computer.
After going through these steps, when I select an HD movie from my iTunes library the movie comes up after about a 5 second delay.
Hope this helps! I am back up for business.

How do I connect Apple TV2 to an older TV?

Hi Apple Community
I just bought 2 Apple TV2s, one for my family room and one for my bedroom. My family room TV is a late generation Sony WEGA (Trinitron/CRT) with a YPbPr (RGB RCA) port in the back of it. I knew that AppleTV2 did not have a component video connection, so I bought a cheap HDMI to component signal converter to connect to the YPbPr port.
Well, when i connected everything up all I get are crazy lines on the screen (clearly there is a signal translation issue). In theory everything should have worked. I am sure this issue has come up for others in the community - is there an HDMI converter box that you would recommend that will work in this situation? I looked online and there seem to be half a dozen candidates, but I'd like to get an opinion from this forum. Any thoughts?
Dude

I'm not really willing to recommend any converters since most of them will run into an issue with HDCP which is included in iTunes content purchased and rented from the iTMS since component doesn't support HDCP. Any conversion device that circumvents such copy protection cannot be discussed in these forums under it's terms of Use.
I have one thought about the converter you have purchased, check that your TV is YPbPr and not YCbCr.

Multiple iCloud accounts on one Apple TV2

Hi together
I activated iCloud on my Apple TV2. Now i have access to all my songs without having to run my mac. My girlfriend has her own iTunes/iCloud Account. How can I switch to her account on the Apple TV2? Is it really necessary to go into settings and so on? Same for switching back to my account? This is not very elegant.
Isn't it possible to activate both accounts simultaneously?
Thanks for your help!

No it's not possible to run two accounts at once.

Apple TV2 missing analog audio output for multi-zone system

Found out the hard way that most receivers can't support digital audio in multiple zones (i.e., Zone 2). Since Apple TV2 (ATV2) dispensed with any analog output, if you have a whole-house system that depends on mult-zone to distribute audio to various speakers, you won't be able to use ATV2 to stream music to anything other than Zone 1. The only outputs are HDMI and optical (both digital audio). I think I found a work around (which, of course costs more money) which is a "de-embedding" device from Atlona that takes HDMI in and splits out the audio to analog and passes the HDMI through to the receiver. The analog audio output then lets me connect to the analog in on the receiver so it can stream to all zones. I figure Apple just didn't have enough real estate on the new product to make room for analog, but it's a pain. Hope this helps someone. If anyone knows a better work-around, I'd love to hear it.

I have the same issue with a MacMini I use for music. My solution was to use an inexpensive optical splitter - one feed to the optical input of my receiver and the second to a DAC. Then run standard RCA audio cables from the DAC to the analog Zone 2 inputs.
Here is a link for a DAC
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10423&cs_id=1042302&pid=6884&seq=1&format=2
They should have the splitter as well.

Volume control for video playback through Apple TV2

I am trying to configure the volume settings used on airplay through apple TV2 and a macbook pro and Iphone4 all with most recent updates.
I am using the apple remote app on my iphone to control the apple tv.
Whats working:
Using the pandora app on my iphone through aiplay to the apple tv, I can control the volume using the plus and minus buttons on the side of the iphone for volume control. Very cool and easy.
Using the apple remote app on my iphone I can control the itunes volume of different speakers by clicking on the airplay icon and using a slider. Not as cool as using the hard +/- buttons but still works.
Whats not working:
Controling volume on appleTV2 through the iphone remote app for video playbacks like netflix, and youtube.
Why I want this: RIght now I can control most of the multimedia right from my iphone including cranking the music up:) But when I switch over to video(Netlfix, Youtube) I have to get out another remote (stereo reciever) to control the volume. It seems we are so close to being able to control everything off the iphone, the only thing missing is volume control for video playback.
Is there a setting that can be changed or a solution I havent found?
Thanks

Same problem with TV3. HDMI volume output is not adjustable, neither with the original Apple remote nor with any universal. Why ? Every simple settop-box is able to be volume adjusted. And a Mac Mini too ?!!!
I use a flatscreen TV. it has 3 HDMI inputs and one optical out for the audio going to an amp standing behind it. The sound of the TV is switched to go to the optical out.
HDMI 1 is connected to the satellite settop box with its own remote control ( channel +/-, volume +/- etc. ) it work s fine.
HDMI 2 is connected to the MacMini HDMI out with its own remote control ( channel/music +/-, volume +/- ) it works fine too.
HDMI 3 was connected to Apple TV3 with its own remote control ( channel/music +/- but no volume ). I sent the TV3 back to Apple.
What's going wrong in the mind of Apple ? Why is the HDMI volume output of the MacMini adjustable with the Apple remote, and the TV3 not ?
I want not to discuss, wether a 4th remote control is useful or not. I don't want it. I want to adjust the volume with the originl remote control of the specific unit I use, because I need it anyway. It worked since years, but not with Apple TV3.
How can we help Apple to open the volume +/- function on their own remote control ?

Windows Vista iTunes Home Share Not showing up on Apple tv2 through LAN

I have 2 new Apple TV's and I'm having the same problem on both, so I think it is an issue with my network or the Vista Laptop. I'm hoping for helpful suggestions here.
My setup:
2 Apple TV2's connected with wifi
D-Link DIR655 Router
MacbookPro, iPad, And iPhones all connected with wifi.
iTunes Home Sharing and Airplay all work fine with all of the above.
The Problem:
I have an old Vista Laptop I want to use as an iTunes Server to store movies on and such, for use on the Apple TV's.
If I connect the laptop to the network with wifi the Apple tv's find the Vista iTunes Homeshare just fine. But when I connect the laptop via Lan Wire to the router the Apple tv's don't seem to find the laptop. This is a problem because i want to just connect it wired and tuck the laptop away in a closet, so it is not a waste of wifi spectrum, but no joy so far. I have checked firewalls and things like that but no luck. Any ideas out there?

I was also having this problem but in my case it was not caused by the D Link router. My problem was caused by mcafee firewall. To get itunes sharing to work I needed to add an itunes firewall/port rule to enable TCP=3689 UDP=5353 and enable this for ALL PCs. Setting this for PCs in Home/Work networks did not work.

Ipad makes network/home sharing available for Apple TV2 and iphone

I've always had issues using home sharing on my Apple TV2; it would often tell me i needed to turn on home sharing on my desktop even though it was on. Ususally restting the router and restarting iTunes would resolve the issue. I would have to do this everytime i tried to play something on my Apple TV2 from my desktop. THen i got an iPad 1 and it could find the shared folder instantly, when it would find it, it would all of a sudden make the Apple TV2 find my desktop (sometimes the Appl TV2 would hang there for 15 minutes searching for the desktop, i would go to videos on the iPad, and then "bang" the Apple TV would work). I just got an iphone 3gs and upgraded to iOS 6 (had the following issue with iOS 5, too) and when i go to the video app it is blank and says there are no videos on my iphone with a button for the store at the bottom. One time i hit the header reading "Videos" at the top and all of a sudden it listed which libraries i wanted to access, iPhone or Shared. Couldn't get that to happen again until just now i started the trusty old iPad and pointed it to the shared folder and all of a sudden my iPhone showed me the shared location again. Is there a way to access the home sharing network consistently without having to bot up the iPad everytime, especially on tyhe iPhone where there isnt a real location for doing this as far a I can tell. Everyone always refers to the old "iPod" app before they switched it to "Music" and would say you go to "More" and selected "Shared" but those options arent avaiable anymore. Thanks.

Follow up: It appears to have been caused by the Bose system. We have multiple areas that can be controlled by the Bose console. Playing another area (outdoor speakers) via one source (satellite) was interfering with playing the Apple TV in the den on the television. Apparently.

How do I get Apple TV2's "Computers" to display my computer ??

How do I get my computer to display on the Apple TV2 menu in the Computers category ?? I have homesharing turned on in iTunes and Apple TV2 using the same login name and password. Is it a firewall problem ? The other areas of Apple TV2 are working. Strange, any thoughts ??

Unfortunately I don't know much about PCs.
The ports needed by the Apple TV are 53, 80, 123, 443 and 3689 (TCP) and 5353 (UDP)

i don't have any experience with DLNA TV's but i recently moved my iTunes library to a NAS. streaming content to airport express remote speakers and TV2 works great. however, i have all my gear hardwired to my time capsule (except the airport express) so i'm not sure how well streaming e.g. HD movies to TV over wifi works.
i have a Synology DiskStation 411j and am very happy with it.
