ITunes can't connect to Apple TV sometimes after sleep and wake up

Hi!
There are any issues to find in the discussions depending on problems between the ATV and iTunes but no solution helps me to solve the following problem till now.
I am using a Mac mini (middle 2011) as a central storage for multimedia data. The exact description of the network can you find further down.
The problem is that iTunes sometimes can't connect to the Apple Tv via Airplay. There is a window open what tells me that iTunes try to connect to ATV. But it doesn't work.
After determine iTunes completely (normal closing doesn't work because of that open window) and restart it, it will work probably.
Itunes is connecting to ATV via Airplay immediately.
Sometimes it works for any days with a view sleep and wake up procedures. Sometimes the problem appears while I'm listen to music after any minutes of starting.
I send the mini and the ATV to sleep with the remote of the ATV or let it go to sleep alone. To wake up ATV and mini I push a button on the remote.
Following components are working in my network:
- router FritzBox 7390 from AVM (2,4 and 5 GhZ at the same time)
- Mac mini (middle 2011) connected via Wlan
- two Airport Express with connected loudspeakers in various rooms (Wlan)
- Apple TV (third generation) connected with home cinema via HDMI and with the network via Wlan
- Telekom entertain setbox for TV connected via LAN over Wlan bridge
I have tried to use the whole system with an Airport Extrem as router for wlan but the problem was the same.
I suppose it could be a problem with DHCP Lease or the Bonjour? What can I do?
Last but not least...the devices have installed the newest firmware or software versions.
Thanks a lot for support!

i bit the bullet and re-associated library on ATV. On atv, setting/computers; current library was grayed out, clicking creates a warning that all media on ATV will be lost, it takes its time to earase the disk, then an option to connect to itunes becomes available just like fresh setup. ATV produced a code to enter into itunes. itunes complained that it cannot communicate on port 3689; googleupdate.exe was using this port; disabled googleupdate; rebooted everything for good measure. so now i'm waiting for 100GB of home movies and music to sync to ATV (thanks apple!). one thing that got me stumbled - when ATV showed up, there were not tabs for music, movies, podcast, etc, only settings and photos; solution: deselect 'automatic sync' by selecting 'custom sync' in the settings tab.

Can I connect two apple tv on same network and same apple ID at a time ?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Yes you can do all that without needing to keep plugging things in and out. You will still need to manually turn on the receiver and turn down the volume from the tv though.

My IOS 6 upgrade appear to crash alot pages don't load completely and ITunes can not connect for updates takes multi able tries and sometimes a re boot to get it to completed. I have a Ipad2

I'm having issues with this update will not alway allow me to connect to ITunes for update, does not always excess app stor or do searches. Safari locks up and pages load slow or freeze

Yea I would connect it to iTunes on computer and under summary tab select restore. If that can't be done save a backup on icloud from settings,icloud,storage and backup. Then go to settings, general, reset, all content and data.
Sometimes when you upgrade you can catch a bug. When I upgraded all my album artwork disappeared and even a sync didn't help. I saved a backup and restored the device(this time not wireless) and installed ios6 again. No problems since.

Itunes can't connect to store - error 11333 after update to 7.4.2.4 for win

I downloaded 7.4.2.4 for windows today and afterwards couldn't access the store at all, or my account, or check for tv shows to download for my multi-pass i purchased. what's up? i did all the troubleshooting and everything appeared fine - my connection was fine, it wasn't my firewall, computer date/time fine, the itunes network diagnostic said everything was fine. i wound up deleting all the itunes stuff (as described on the itunes for windows trouble installing page) and downloading an old version, 7.3.2.6, from oldapps.com/itunes.htm and now i can access the store like before, although i lost my library file and playlists and had to add everything back in.
So I've spent about 2 hours trying to fix this - are others having this problem? It seems like there are soo many problems popping up on this discussion board. I'm definitely not going to update itunes in the future without checking here first.

toonz,
this is the file from the network diagnostic I did while still running 7.4.2.4 - I also sent it with an email to the tech support for itunes store; so far all I've heard back is that they are working on it and will send me an email when it's fixed. (by the way, I deleted the ip addresses etc. but everything else is the same as it was then.)
Running itunes 7.3.2.6 is working fine, by the way, I was immediately able to connect to the store and download. If anyone else is thinking about downgrading, try saving your playlists first (search for 'saving playlists' in itunes help) because you won't be able to use your old itunes library file. I don't know if saving the playlists separately will help, since I didn't know that would happen when I started. meeshala

Itunes can't connect to my ipod touch after being upgraded to 3.1.1

I have just upgraded my ipod touch gen2 and it can't be recharged nor synced with itunes due to some unknown errors (that's what the message box says).

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until it works again, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
They may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

Macbook Pro can't reconnect after sleep and wake-up

I didn't experience any kind of problem until now, but a few days ago when opening the lid on the Macbook it would fail to reconnect to the network.
I am getting the "auto-assigned IP" message and I need to turn the Airport OFF and then back ON again for it to connect properly.

I tried restarting the machine a couple of times but it did not work. Otherwise I didn't seem to lose connectivity while connected/streaming/downloading and I hope this won't start happening.
I'd like to know if this is a hardware problem. My Mac is still under warranty, so in theory Apple should replace a faulty Airport.
I also got an iMac with 10.5 on it and a crappy Windows laptop that seem not to experience any issues. I could also connect to the network without trouble with my Android smartphone and some friends' laptops. It's just the Macbook that has problems.
Thank you.

You need to charge the computer, perhaps the battery went dead.
Do a SMC and PRAM reset, see if that assists.
Also hold the shift key after that upon boot, that will fix things
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3046
If you get into your account, see if system preferences opens and try to set the time and date, align with Apple's servers, reset the screen saver and desktop picture see if it holds upon a reboot
If not your going to have to delete your
com.systempreferences.plist
file in your
"User"/Library/Preference folder
Reboot the machine and then open System Preferences and reset your preferences.
Now in 10.6, the "User"/Library/Preference folder is not hidden
In 10.7 the "Users"/Library/Preferences folder IS hidden
so in 10.7 you need to use the Finder > Go To Folder and type
/Library/Preferences
and click OK
Then scoll down to the file above, there will be two of them perhaps, one is a lock file the other one you can Trash, so do that and reboot.

ITunes can't connect to iTunes from PC Windows 7

I haven't been active on iTunes for at least a year. In the mean time it has continued to update. I purchased a new iPod shuffle this past week. Finally opened iTunes to get my new Shuffle registered and load some music. Tried to register and got what seems like no connection to Apple. Low and behold iTunes can not connect to the iTunes store, nor anything else from Apple. iTunes program appears to be working fine other than no connection to Apple.com, and I have performed a sync to my new Shuffle w/o problems. I simply get the "accessing iTunes store..." displaying forever.
I have Windows 7, 64bit operating system. Trend Micro Intert Security/antiviral software. I have tried disabling both my Windows firewall and my Trend Micro; however, iTunes still can make no connection. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

I need to restore my iphone but itunes can't connect because it locked with password. I can't input the password becasue it showing no service and needs to be restored.

I need to restore my iphone but itunes can't connect to it because of my password which I can't input becasue it has no service and needs to be restored. what can I do to restore it? Is there a way to input the password?

You will need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode to be able to restore it in iTunes.
To put your iPod/iPhone into recovery mode:
1. Make sure the iPod/iPhone is connected to a computer with iTunes installed on it.
2. Hold down the sleep/wake button(top button) and the home button at the same time until the iPod/iPhone screen goes black then shows the apple logo( usually 10-15 seconds).
3. Once the apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding the home button.
4. The ipod/iphone screen should show an itunes logo and usb cable if you were successful. A dialog box will appear in iTunes that states an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode has been detected if you are successful.
5. Click ok, then click the Restore button
After that you should be up and running in no time!
I hope that this is helpful.

Can't Connect to Apple TV???

So, I have an Apple TV and a Macbook Pro (Late-2011) and I used to be able to connect my iTunes Library to my Apple TV and stream it through but I haven't been able to for a few weeks and cannot figure it out! Everything is up-to-date and I have reinstalled iTunes after completely removing all iTunes media I could find, downloading a new iTunes 10.6 from Apple and reinstalling it again.
It gives me an error saying "An error occurred while connecting to the airplay device "Apple TV". An Unknown error occurred (-15000)."
Anybody getting this too?? Or does anybody know of a solution?? please??????
(No problems with any other computer just this one).
HELP! :[

Hi Bgean!
The first thing you may want to try is to update the software on your Apple TV. This article lists the steps for updating the Apple TV:
How to update Apple TV software
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1600
If you have checked in iTunes to see if the Apple TV shows up there and can't see it in the device list, then you may want to try the steps listed in this article:

Very slow downloads Network test says "can't connect to Apple"

Have a 1st generation ATV and it has been working great for years until now. When I have slow downloads so I go to "Test Network" and it fixes the problem, but not any more. Now it says "can't connect to Apple"
Funny thing is it can connect but it is very very slow!
I have tried most everything I can think of this has got me stumped!
-- Speed test on my network shows I am getting 12 Mb/s download speeds with Comcast cable
-- using an Apple Airport extreme
-- I have NOT done any changes to my network
-- Have done a factory reset on ATV
-- rebooted my Airport
-- Made sure all my updates have been done
-- Hooked ATV up with ethernet cable to network that just seemed to make to worse! strange?
-- look all very the boards
Does any one have any ideas?
Thanks!

I have the same experience, i.e., "Test Network" used to improve slow downloads, but now when I attempt it, the test download progress bar moves, but then I get the "can't connect to Apple" error message. I have not yet found a solution to this, however it may be related to the following problem:
ATV does not remember wireless network password.
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
I am having to re-enter the wireless network password every time the ATV starts up, and sometimes during startup it appears to be in a Catch-22 situation where it is trying to access the network but cannot because it has not yet let me manually enter the password, so it spends a long time with amber or amber plus white light blinking, and then more time with solid white light before finally showing the startup sequence, about half an hour after being switched on.
See post about password problem at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13182180#13182180, which also lists my equipment.

Hi ..
Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
Make sure your Mac OS X software is up to date.
Disconnect the iPad from your Mac.
Open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
If any updates are required, make sure to restart your Mac after the updates are installed then connect your iPad and see if iTunes recognizes it under Devices.

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can download it from here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that doesn't work, check out this Apple article -> iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC
