ITunes & iRadio streaming issues, why?

Hello from Miami,
All this week I have been experianceing issues with either my iTunes Store giving me iTunes store errors windows along with the iRadio player acting up also. I have contacted apple support to clear caches along with anything else that needs clearing out. Well tonight the issues returned, I have to make an educated guess and say it's not at my end.
Has anyone else experianced similar issues, update me.
Thank you

I was the originator of my post the other night.. "iTunes & iRadio Streaming issues, Why?" posted on October 19th. It is that another person chimed in on my topic, paulie74".
I do not feel I was lectured, I was simply stating how you treated this other apple user, "paulie74" by stating the following. You said,
"Also ranting about quality control will not help your cause, I use both and have absolutely no issues as do millions of others."
Being positive and not being unhelpful is not what these forums are about, then you also mentioned,
"perhaps you should read the Terms of Use you agreed to", I know the terms of these forums and those of the Apple company, I am not new to Apple, and would respectfully suggest that you be more constructive regarding your comments and not expresses yourself in a way that upsets others.
And yes, I will forward all this onto Apple, for I trust they will do what's right as always.
Thank you,
Mohegan

New AirPort Express Mac iTunes Music Streaming Issues

Hello All,
I purchased the "new" AirPort Express today from the Apple store and set it up as a client to my existing wireless network to stream music to some speakers via the phono cable. I am running a Linksys E3200 Dual-Band Wireless N Router connected to Comcast via a Motorola SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 modem. I can stream music just fine from two iPhones and a Windows 7 64 bit PC (with iTunes), but can't via my Late 2011 MacBook Pro running Lion and iTunes 10.6.3. I also tried another Late 2008 Uni-Body MacBook running Lion and iTunes 10.6.1, which also doesn't work correctly. The MacBooks will connect successfully via iTunes to AirPlay, but the music skips about every 1-2 seconds.
I've rebooted all pieces of the network (including the MacBooks) and still no sucess. Called into Apple Support and the tech requested I split off my WiFi networks to a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz networks via different SSIDs. We connected both the MacBooks and factory reset then reconnected the AirPort to the "new" 5 GHz network. Same issues as we saw before. Moved the AirPort into the same room as the wireless router (maybe 5-10 feet away) and still same issues. Apple tier two wasn't real sure, but I don't blame her since she said she didn't get to order her new AirPort until last night. They're bumping the ticket to engineering to see what they say... but wanted to see if anyone has found a fix for it.
Thanks!
Jeff

It went all the way up the chain with Apple to engineering and they had to setup the AirPort as a standalone router. The music played without issue from my PC, iPhone and Mac. Upon resetting it backup as an AirPlay client it does the same skipping problem on just the Mac (however AirFoil works just fine on the same Mac). The response I got from engineering this afternoon was-
"Jeff,
I heard back from Engineering today. Their advice is: Since this issue only occurs when the Airport Express is connected to your Linksys router, our best advice is to update the Linksys router firmware (contact Linksys) or use a different wireless router.
I apologize for all this inconvenience.
Thank you for calling AppleCare and have a great day!"

Large iTunes Library Streaming Issues

I left sync on and it filled up the 40GB drive with about 7,000 of my songs.
I then went to the sources in Apple TV and selected my iTunes library for streaming. The screen displays:
Loading "iTunes Library" and the spinning icon shows for about five minutes. My screen then goes blank, and the AppleTV resets itself. When it comes back on it asks me for my language choice, and then asks if I want to recover my AppleTV, continue, or reset to Factory settings.
I have tried this a few times with the same results each time. Any help is very much appreciated.
Hardware - Apple TV, Mac Mini, 500gb external drive with music and movies
Network - Linksys cable modem and switch with a wired connection to the Apple TV.

Well the journey continues. I "factory reset" my Apple TV last night after another unsuccessful attempt to stream my music through Apple TV. It can see my iTunes Library under "sources." It says that it is loading and then after six minutes or so (I timed it) it restarts the box and presents me to select my language preference as it did when I initially installed the AppleTV. Once I do this it gives me three choices. I can "Restart" or "Restore Factory Defaults" or "Recover". If you chose "Restart" the machine reboots again. If I try and stream again, six minutes later I am asked what Language I want. If I try recover, it tests the system and says everything is good. I decided to perform a Factory Reset, and this did not work either.
I have a large iTunes Music Library, and have been using it successfully streaming through Elgato's EyeHome product for a couple years. We have had issues with new software updates, but they were very quick to provide solutions.
HERE IS WHERE I AM CURRENTLY AT:
I went to my computer, turned off iTunes, went to my iTunes folder and copied all of the files from the iTunes directory (remember my music is on an external drive) to a folder in another location. I was surpried to see my iTunes.xml file was over 150mb in size. I then restarted iTunes and of course had no music in it. I am now importing my file library in again to see if it helps. Maybe I has a corrupt iTunes file.
Anybody else with any ideas? Apple?

ITunes Library streaming issue

I just picked up the extreme so that I could use my external hd to store all of my music library. Unfortunately when playing, it is incredibly choppy, to the point to where I do not want to listen to the music. Now, let me note that when streaming internet stations, they play just fine. They actually sound better than my library. Is there anything I could do to get that great audio quality that used to come from my library when it was saved on my internal hd? Thanks.

Geoff,
If you could answer a couple of simple questions maybe either I or someone else could help you.
I am no genius here but how do you get from your computer and Extreme to either your stereo or powered speakers. As I said, I am no genius, but I don't think you can do that without using an Airport Express. I believe the Expresses are necessary to receive the signal from your Extreme and and transfer to the stereo or powered speakers. Apple TV is the only device that I know of here that can stream or sync music from your desktop or laptop without using an Airport Express.
I also have several external FireWire drives one of which houses my iTunes music and video library. I have synced this library with my Apple TV as I say below.
I have a system that consists of two desktops and two laptops. I have an Airport Extreme 802.11n base station, although I have no 802.11n capable equipment in my system and I have three Airport Expresses throughout my house that have JBL Creature powered speakers attached. I also have an Apple TV which has had my iTunes music library downloaded to it and I play it through my widescreen television.
The sound is incredible on all of my powered speakers as well as my widescreen. I've have never had a problem with sound quality. I am not a techno ace and use my system as simply as possible and only go forward with other capabilities once I have mastered the basics.
You did not say whether your external hard drive was wireless through the AEBS or hard wired to your computer. Because I keep things simple, I would not attempt to stream music from an Air Disk to any receiver in the system (Airport Express). There have been too many growing pains with Air Disk to start out with and then trying to stream music I believe will only complicate matters.
As I said, I have great sound quality in my system.

I am in contact with Itunes now and they wanted screenshots of the problem, I can get these current tv episodes with a vpn and my isp says they are not blocking them, but i was surprised that prior to the election they were blocked, ?
I also can get them on my Android Samsung Galaxy note 2 with no problem but on the Macmini cannot>/? I Unsubscribed and subscribed many times but still no luck, any ideas? I am waiting for the senior advisor to get back to me on this issue. I am in THailand now where the problem is happening and as I said the ISP says they do not block any podcasts.I also do not want it on my iphone 5, so I have to wait and see why the mac mini is not getting it.

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Power cycle the router.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Major streaming issue!

Hey Guys,
I am having major streaming issues with my Macbook and Apple TV. Here is a detailed overview of my setup.
Netgear 802.11G Router
SSID off
WEP 128 Bit hex key
DHCP
Wireless devices
Powerbook G4
Macbook
Apple TV
iPod Touch
XP laptop
Wired device
XP desktop
All these devices are able to access the wireless network fine - and have no problem connecting to the internet.
Apple TV is running SW 2.0 - I don't know if the same issue would have occurred in SW 1.0 as I did the SW upgrade on it straight away (getting close to a system reset though)
I am able to see the Apple TV in iTunes 7.6 and have all the details of my Apple TV.
When I try to play any of "my movies" I sometimes get an error saying can't recognize file type or something along those lines - or it just gets stuck on a black screen with the buffering "spinning gear" winding till the Apple TV goes in to the screen saver.
I tried on many different resolutions but it did not fix the issue.
The same thing happens with TV Shows and Podcasts - haven't tried YouTube just yet.
I am able to play movie trailers though both standard definition and high definition.
Another thing to mention is the load up of the Apple TV is very jittering and stutters.
The thing that makes me wonder is I ran it on another Netgear G router network earlier today and everything went fine - and I was able to playback videos that I am not able to do now - which kind of makes me look at the network - but the fact that HD trailers load almost instantly and play fine makes me think perhaps Apple TV? The fact it doesn't load smoothly concerns me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just removed Apple TV from iTunes and cleared an connections in "Computer" tab of Apple TV and reset everything - still the same issue.
Apple TV loads very jittery and it doesn't load video files to playback - but it does playback music and movie trailers. I am guessing it has no problems with the trailers as that is not something that gets accessed via the Macbook. Really starting to think this could be a bandwidth issue know, just weird that it was all hunky dory on another G network! Besides all my laptops get full reception where the Apple TV is situated and I can't think of any interference in the position that it is in.
Any other ideas people - don't want to have to shell out for a base station just right now.

AirPort express work as a wi-fi router, but can't select external speakers in ITunes to stream music

I set up my AirPort Express as a wireless router and it works great. It is plugged in to an external set of speakers, but I cannot select them in ITunes and stream music. The speaker selection box that is supposed to be in the bottom right corner is not there.

Having the same issue. Updated iTunes software yesterday and now the speaker selction box has dissappeared. I've been streaming music to my stereo for years using this method. Have tried accessing it from the remote app and the speaker selection option is gone from there too.

I have purchased an IPAD 2 - everytime I try and update or download a new app i get e.g. 'BBC iplayer available to download when you go in to the itunes store on computer" Why cant I download direct?

I have an ipod touch and have no similar issues - is this an itunes account setup issue?

Have you tried logging out of your account via Settings > Store and tapping on your account id on the right-hand side, and the logging back in to see if that makes any difference ?
You could also try a reset and see if you can then download them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
A third option is to download one of the updates to your computer's iTunes and connect your iPad to it and sync it across, and then see if you can download the other apps/updates directly on the iPad.

After installing Mountain Lion, my iTunes app wont start, why ???

After installing Mountain Lion, my iTunes app wont start, why ??? It bounces in the dock, then "Unexpectedly Quirs"

Let's keep it simple...
1) Make a new user - the steps are in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199
2) Log into that user, open iTunes, agree, etc. - it will probably work
3) If it does, it tells us that iTunes (the program) is fine but it's encountering something unexpected
4) Go back to your user, and try to open iTunes while holding option and making a new library - like suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
5) Your iTunes will be empty. This is ok. Your files are not touched by this process.
6) If iTunes doesn't quit when loading an empty library, you could try rebuilding the iTunes Library as Apple documents in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
7) If iTunes does quit, it could be trying to grab something - like photo information to sync to your iPad - and that's where it finds the unexpected data. Maybe try moving the iPod Photo Cache? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1324 should guide you for how to do that.
If you tell us whether it is library-specific, user-specific, or system-wide (happens in both users), we could maybe give you better advice on what's going on.'
If the new user has the same behavior, maybe remove the SC Info folder - there are not many system-wide files iTunes touches. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 covers how to remove that invisible folder.
iTunes uses /Applications/iTunes.app, /Users/Shared/SC Info, ~/Music/iTunes/ and ~/Library/Preferences/ and a bunch of other files. I don't think focusing on /Applications/iTunes/app or other system-wide files is going to be as effective as knowing whether the issue is system-wide or user-specific.
I hope this helps and feel free to reply if this is all confusing.

Apple TV Buffering/Streaming Issues

First off, I have multiple Apple TV devices in my home. Over the past week, I have been having buffering issues on movies and TV shows purchased. Everything is hard wired ethernet. In addition, I have download speeds of 42MBS. It's only on Apple TV that I have the issues. I have tried the same movies on all devices. Anyone else having this issue?

I too am having issues with ATV after moving to MacOS 10.10
Here are some things I have noticed.
When ATV is sharing from an iTunes computer, streaming buffer will end shortly after
screen saver activates
or the screen goes to sleep
or if the iTunes window is not the front window
or the iTunes window is collapsed
The work around is to disable screen saver and any sleep modes, have the iTunes window active, and don't use the mac for anything else.
When streaming from the Mac to the ATV, music and movies will also have many start and stops too them.
My conclusion is that using a ATV may not be the best choice for music or movie playback. Good thing I have my DVD player

TS3623 ATV3 massive streaming issues?

Hello,
For 4 days, we have been experiencing massive streaming issues with downloading content from itunes to ATV but also to other devices such as iphone, ipad and PC. Not only media content downloads present issues but also app updates. My full home set up has been checked and tested. Downlod speeds are in excess of 15mbps.
We are located in Bavaria, south Germany.
Is apple facing serious server problems as in the summer 2012? Or is it a software update problem? Is there an ETA for a fix?
Thanks & Kind regards,
Tim

Mac sleeping while iTunes is streaming videos

I recently noticed my mac goes to sleep while iTunes is streaming video to my AppleTV or my other Mac (using Home Sharing). Extremely annoying. It never did this before. What could cause this issue?
I have recently moved my entire library to an external disk. Can this be the issue? Maybe the disk spins down after a period of inactivity, and then MacOSX thinks the mac is inactive and goes to sleep.
Or might there be other causes?

Hi
Hopefully, this article http://www.macworld.com/article/49080/2006/01/lockscreen.html can provide some assistance.
Cheers

Since subscribing to iTunes match my ipad2 no longer offers the AirPlay option on the volume bar within Music, rendering my bowers Wilkins speakers useless for both iTunes and spotify. Why is this and how can I fix it?

Since subscribing to iTunes match my ipad2 no longer offers the AirPlay option on the volume bar within Music, rendering my bowers Wilkins speakers useless for both iTunes and spotify. Why is this and how can I fix it?
Apple made no mention of this being an expected issue, so I can only assume it's unintentional. Otherwise I wouldn't have subscribed to Match in the first place!

How big is your library? I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
- Backup your library. Always a good idea before messing with things.
- Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589. This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one. Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
- Add a few albums into this new library. Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
- Activate Match on this new library. You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
- At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.
