IPhone 4s streaming video to AppleTV2

"An error occurred loading this content. Try again Later"
I'm getting this message as I try to play content on an Apple TV2 (running current 5.3 software). From the same app (America's Cup app), I can play some videos but not others. File videos are fine. Current day videos are not. I have to think, after seeing so many complaints about this error message, that some sort of configuration or coding on the videos is tripping up the AppleTV unit. I've tried all the fixes mentioned (from HDMI, reboots, DNS settings, resets, etc.), but am still frustrated with the inconsistency of the problem. This isn't related to Apple Store or Netflix movie purchases. YouTube streaming from the iPhone to Apple TV is also inconsistent. Some videos will play, others will not. Is this not a copyright/permission issue rather than a hardware/software issue?

thank you, i was guessing its not possible but i saw someone here saying that his videos working even better from his iphone to atv then his imac to atv....just wanted to see im not crazy.
if i may ask u another thing, in order to see a video from my mac does it have to be .mov format (quick time player)? and if so- i need to convert all files to this .mov kind? how do u do it?

IPhone viewing Streaming Video in other formats

I am considering an iPhone, however, I am curious if the iPhone can view streaming video in other formats such as wmv. I have tried on a friends phone and it didn't work. Is there a plug-in for the iPhone that can be installed to do this?

My suggestion is to go to the feedback site (which I will list below) and tell Apple your suggestions directly. Not a promise that they will be included but at least you are getting to the right set of ears.

IPhone and streaming video

Does anyone know why the iPhone doesn't handle live streaming video? I mean I waited for the 3G iPhone mostly just for that reason, maybe I assumed to much right now. I was hoping that it was compatible with the Slingbox for live TV anywhere. Will flashplayer and streaming video be just a downloadable update or what?

Adobe will need to make a flash player for iphone and Apple will have to approve it.
When and if this happens, then we will have flash.
There has been a lot of articles about it, but nothing for sure yet.

How do I use my iphone to stream videos,games, and music via airplay in itunes?

Hi.
I was looking for an option to use airplay from my iphone to itunes(not apple tv) After searching for a while, i understood that I cannot do that unless I have a apple tv. But when I bought my 5s when it released, I remember playing my videos from my phone to itunes via airplay. But i forgot how I did that. Can anyone please tell me how to do that? Or if any of the recent updates took those features off, is there anyother way I can do that?
Thank you

Normally backups are incremental, and you can only restore the latest. EXCEPT that a backup of an earlier version is archived, and the first backup of the new version is thus complete. You should be able to restore a 6.1.4 backup to iOS 7. Click the Restore Backup button. The dialog that comes up should have a dropdown where you can select a backup to restore. If the old one does not show up it cannot be restored.
However, since you appear to have a Mac, if you use Time Machine you can restore an earlier backup over the current one from your Time Machine history.
You can also back up to iCloud, even if you don't sync to it. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262
One well hidden feature (for future use) is archiving backups. If you go to iTunes Preferences/Devices, right click on the current backup and choose "Archive". The next backup you make will be a competely new one, and the old one will be preserved and can be restored at any time.

Iphone 3G streaming video problem

After upgrading to OS 3.1, video streaming from youtube, msnbc.com app, etc., will play normally for 2-3 minutes, then the video will become choppy and eventually freeze completely even though the download bar indicates that all video data has transferred. I have tried doing a full restore a few times but this has not helped. Everything else seems to be working fine. Has anyone else come across a similar problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Had the same problem tried everthing. Took it to apple and they wernt very helpful!
Tried my carrier they couldn't see any problems with my account!
This went on for a few weeks, so I took it back to apple. After I had a chat with them
again, we finally found out it was my sim card! Got a new sim card and that was it back to normal.
Download check my tubes from the app store this will tell you how fast your phone is at down loading data.
I was getting 56 kbs and all my friends were getting 350+. It's a good app to keep an eye on your phone

My iPhone keeps freezing when I am streaming videos. It never used to do that. How do I fix this.

Hello Jennings Castle,
It seems your iPhone is slowing down and not responding frequently. To rectify this issue you may want to consider performing a restore on the device, and then restoring your data from a backup via iCloud or iTunes.
If the issue persists after restoring your backup, you would then want to consider restoring the device and setting it up as new. Below I have linked to article which offers guidance on both of these restore methods:

Can't stream videos from Iphone 4 or Ipad 3 to apptv 3

Folks need some help- I love Mac and all the products but I am having a bit of an unpleasant experience with my apple tv 3. I have Iphone-4, Ipad 3rd gen, and Apple Tv 3rd gen. I want to use airplay to stream videos from safari or netflix- but! I get a message on my TV that states "Error occured while trying to play this video" And that is all I get. All three are on the same Wi-Fi network. Of note- my Ipad was able to stream for 30 seconds before the error message came up. After that nada.
Thank you in advance for your help

No,you need to buy a new charger.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Streaming videos via iPhone 4S since downloading iOS7.1

Since I've downloaded the latest iOS version to my iPhone 4s streaming any video and/or using airplay through my wireless connection is extremely slow and/or does not work at all (I get a request timed out notification). Looking for any advice as to how to resolve this.

This isn't too hard to fix. Go into settings -> general -> reset -> reset network settings.

I stream video/audio from my iPhone to AppleTV and it works fine. I want to use headphones on the iPhone so I can stream the video and listen on the headphones, but Airplay will not allow me to select both AppleTV and headphones, I can only select one.

I stream video/audio from my iPhone to AppleTV (like YouTube) and it works fine. I want to use headphones on the iPhone so I can stream the video to AppleTV and listen on the headphones, but Airplay will not allow me to select both AppleTV and headphones, I can only select one. How can I watch AppleTV and listen on the headphones?
Thank you.

have the same problem. Im using iPad 3 and Apple TV. id like to use the ipad as wireless earphones while i watch the video on the tv. is that even possible?

Baby Monitor - view live streaming video on iPhone

I am in search of a webcam (to use as a baby monitor) that I can use with my iPhone to view live streaming video from...
Can someone please recommend a webcam (ideally with a low-light setting, because babies like to sleep in the dark;) and a capable app from the app store that would help me achieve this?
Thanks!

That is going to be a very custom app. I really doubt it will be in the app store. I understand the idea. I have a monitor myself that has video. I would have to hook up that video monitor to an input device on a computer networked in the home. For me this would entail video monitor output to a camcorder to firewire to imac. could get quite complicated. Even doing this much could encounter problems like each interface having to be set up correctly. once that is done, you might be able to use the bonjour networking to get from iphone to imac. all of this is hypothetical though. interesting scenario though

Is anyone with an iPhone 6plus experiencing slow downloads and problems streaming videos online?

is anyone with an iPhone 6+ experiencing slow download and slow video streaming online? I have had the iPhone 6 Plus and I've been experiencing my app is downloading a lot slower and being unable to stream videos online

I hope someone from Apple is monitoring this site. Three days apps will not update, iOS8.0. Support told me to update to iOS8.02. Can't do that over WIFI or Cell network. Supports tells me have to link to iTUNES and do this. That takes three trys. Did that. Apps still not updating. Read online that resetting network settings will help. Did that App's hanging and not updating.
Apple how does this happen. Night before iOS8.0 release you pull things because of some security issue. Then you have iOS8.01 fiasco and now this. Can someone get this right. We use these things for more than just phones now. FIX IT

HT4437 Can I stream video from my Iphone 4 to a regular flat screen tv?

Can I stream video from my Iphone 4 to a regular flat screen tv?

The mini-Displayport is for output only — you can't feed a signal into it. I suppose there's a chance that this ability may become available through the Thunderbolt port in the 2011 and later models, but we'll have to wait and see.

Streaming videos from iPhone 4s via AirPlay is very slow

. I took a few videos with my iPhone 4S when I was on vacation. When I try to stream them from my iPhone to my Apple TV, it buffers extremely slowly. However, when I stream videos from my MacBook Pro to my Apple TV, it buffers very quickly and plays very quickly. Based on that, I'm assuming that there's nothing wrong with my wireless network. So my question is, what could be wrong with my iPhone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ok so I've been doing more testing. It's all videos on the iTunes store. Anytime I try to download a podcast or stream it or anything it's super slow. To download an episode of Diggnation it tells me over 2 hours to download but the time keeps climbing and I just stop the transfer.
Some people said it's an Open DNS thing? Maybe it is but it's not computer specific and I couldn't find a way to change the DNS settings in my Airport, only on each computer. I tried deleting PLists and restoring my Apple TV and restoring my Airport and nothing is working.
I don't know if it an issue with me, my ISP or Apple. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Ipad Air drops wifi when streaming videos, browsing. iPhone 4S fine

I recently bought an ipad air.
I have been experiencing numerous problems regarding the wifi connection and I have contacted apple support twice about it but I thought I'd ask here before returning my device for a refund.
Basically, ipad air is behaving inferior to all my other apple devices.
Problems:
Wifi drops randomly and sometimes it comes back by relaunching the application (e.g. Safari) or sometimes I have to turn of wifi off and on again to restore connection. This especially happens when I watch streaming videos either on YouTube app or safari.
At the same time when I perform speedtests ipad air gives always mixed results most of the time being slower than my other devices (iPhone 4S , iPhone 3GS, MacBook Pro 2011).
What I have tried Already:
Resetting the network settings
Restarting the ipad and the router (bt hub5)
Switching between 2.4 and 5 ghz networks
The most important thing is that all my other devices , my iPhone 4S , my iPhone 3GS and my MacBook Pro work great in every network where the ipad air seems to either give poor performance or drop the connection randomly.
I would be happy to know if there is an issue with ipad airs that is going to be resolved with an upcoming OS update, I am patient. It would save me the hassle of returning the ipad for a refund.
Thank you so much in advance for any help.

Hi Finalizer,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have not yet done so, I recommend backing up your iPad Air and restoring the device as new:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
After the device is restored and updated to the latest version of iOS 7, test the Wi-Fi connection with Safari or another app before restoring a backup of your data.
All the best,
Jeremy
