ITunes recognizes apple TV over wired connection but not wireless - Help

I was able to get my Apple TV to sync from iTunes after I connected a networkcable from my apple TV to my Airport wireless router.
When I'm using wireless connection and I go to network settings in Apple TV it shows that I am have connectivity to my network and a strong signal. I am able to connect to uTube, see theatrical trailers, etc, but I cannot get my iTunes to see the Apple TV wirelessly! I have been able to get iTunes to see it on a couple of occasions, but then the Apple TV disappears after about 15-30 seconds.
Any ideas on what might be causing this. I would much rather be connecting wirelessly, as I dont want a network cable strewn across my living room.
Thanks

Two things come to mind. One is that you have two subnets in your home network. Your AppleTV and Macintosh have IP addresses that are something like 192.168.1.15, are the first three numbers, the 192.168.1.x the same on both AppleTV and your Macintosh? Second thing is can you confirm you have only one DHCP server turned on in your network. DHCP Servers on your Airport Base Stations or Macintosh's show up as "Share your Internet Connection" settings, having two DHCP's would also create this problem.

  • ITunes recognizes other mass storage devices/network but not iPod

    When I plug my iPod into the computer, Windows and iTunes recognize that the iPod is connected. A windows bubble from the sys tray tells me that a mass storage device was detected, and a iPod icon appears in iTunes. However, iTunes does not connect to the iPod; for some reason it connects itself to the network (ethernet connection) or to my external hard drive (USB connection), in that order. It will recognize the network as the iPod, unless it is disconnected, and then it will recognize the hard drive as the iPod. If neither of these devices are connected, then the computer doesn't recognize the iPod at all unless I restart it. Thus, to get the computer to recognize my iPod, I have to disconnect my network, and my external hard drive, restart the computer and plug in the iPod. After this point, I can reconnect both devices and everything works. What's going on?

    hi ephmike!
    that sounds like classic symptoms of a Windows drive letter confusion problem. let's see if this document will help:

  • Time Machine works on Ethernet connection but not wireless

    Hi,
    This weekend I setup time machine to work with a NAS drive connected to my wireless router. If I connect my macbook to the router directly via an ethernet cable, and start a backup, it works fine. If I however try to start a backup when only on wireless it always fails. Here's what messages I'm getting:

    Time Machine doesn't work well, if at all, with many NASs. See the pink box in #2 of [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    There are several threads in the Snow Leopard > Time Machine forum with what appear to be similar problems with Iomega NASs.
    If I connect my macbook to the router directly via an ethernet cable, and start a backup, it works fine. If I however try to start a backup when only on wireless it always fails.
    An indication of a bad wireless connection or interference, but could also be the setup of the NAS or compatibility with the way the router works in wireless mode.

    After an initial failure, it did connect.

    You've posted in the Leopard forum, and didn't specify what version of OSX you're on. But those messages usually indicate that your NAS is not fully compatible with the Time Machine requirements on Snow Leopard.

    Those are errors reading from the backups; specifically, getting extended attributes from the backups on your NAS (a "snapshot" is Time Machine's name for a backup folder).
    First, contact the maker of the NAS for updated software/firmware compatible with Snow Leopard.
    That might fix the problem. If not, all we can tell you is, it may be some problem with the setup of the NAS, and/or compatibility with the wireless function of your router. See the maker's instructions/Help/support.

  • I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my Mac computer and still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help?

    I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my iMac computer and it still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help? There are 12,733 songs, a few dozen of which are not going to be in the Apple music library because they are unique to my collection. Also, some titled "Track XX" and no artist. I assume these would either not upload or else just be uploaded. But, after an overnight of step 2, the iTunes match program was still on song number 7384 or 12733 (it was on that number for over 12 hours). Looking in the music library, activating the iCloud icon and status fields, there were hundreds of songs with the status "waiting."

    After taking my late 2009 15 inch macbook pro to the apple store, the genius completely erased my computer and reinstalled the Mac OS X software, but the problem still persists.

    I am able to use my computer in Safeboot mode (only)
    Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
    If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
    If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.
    Run through this list of fixes, it's systematic in nature, also has a Hardware Test to see what's going on

    Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about.

    It reboots it but unplugging can also rectify communication issues like this. A restore would be the next step.

  • ITunes crashes on exit when iPod is connected, but not otherwise?

    I had this problem ever since I installed iTunes 7...
    It occoured as soon as I installed the new verison while still using my old 4gb first gen. iPod nano.
    Now I just recently bought a new second generation nano, and still have the same problem.
    And the issue is, Whenever I close iTunes while my iPod is connected (but not being updated), i get the message that "iTunes.exe has preformed an illegal operation and will be closed".
    Though I just noticed that if I disconnect the iPod before closing itunes, it closes fine and normally.
    I Have tried to solve it by following toturials for uninstalling both just iTunes, and iTunes + QuickTime at the same time, and preform separate installations after cleaning the temp. folder and restarting. None of it has helped me solve the problem
    -And I have lived with ifor a while, but it is getting really annoying if I am sititng on my computer and jsut close iTunes, without disonnecting my iPod, to run another program using sound or a lot of system resources. And thne each time get the error-message that "iTunes preformed an illegal operation and..."
    Anytihng that can be done? -I run NO plugins for the record, and the iPod is connected by USB cable (seeing it is a Nano)
    Anything anyne can suggest that I'd do, then please tell.
    -Or if anyone need to know more then please ask.

    Hi, Im sorry just to add on to this discussion but I couldnt figure out how to start a new discussion and I am going mad! I have a new ipod because my last one was stolen and I have plugged it in and my PC wont recognise it. I think that is because my old ipod is the only one my computer will accept. Can that be right? It said the hardware device had been detected and then it said that it was troubled and it simply did not work. Now it is plugged in and not at all recognised in my computer anywhere. Can any one help this clueless girl who simply wants to listen to music again?
    Thank you.

    Check carefully. Perhaps you are trying to copy 9 GB plus 1.3 GB for a total of 10.3 GB. That would give you the message you see.

    By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto.

  • I keep getting the follow error messages when I try to sign into iTunes store or redeem a song code: We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again

    I keep getting the following error messages on my Mac when I try to redeem a song code: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again later."  and then, "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

    Hello, constance132. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I could recommend when receiving error -50. 
    "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
    Windows Vista:
  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows 7:
  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows XP:
  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
    Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
    If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
    You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
    If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

  • "We could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later."

    When I try to open the home page in my Itunes I get the message "we could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection is not be established. There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later." It had been working just fine, in fact I had just purchased a song & edited my itunes account. Could changing the name on my account have cause the error message or is something else going on? This is a brand new computer.

    I've got an Apple ID problem, too. All of the sudden in the midnight between August 31st and September 1st, the new apps I picked up on the App Store hung forever 'Waiting..' in my iPhone and never turned 'Loading'. When a substantial amont of time had passed, they reported, they 'could not connect to the App Store' and .. disappeared! Well what they told was not perfectly true because I could however connect to the store as I could browse and pick the apps, but the apps just didn't load. I tried to log into my account in iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop, too, and there got exactly the message in the topic title.
    It appeared later my Apple ID did not completely fail because when I switched from my home WiFi to the phone 3G, everything worked just as nothing happened. Logically, this intimated my WiFi had flaws. Or, some place between my WiFi router and Apple servers did, to be precise. My router was not to blame because I did no changes to it whatsoever.
    All right, it is Saturday today and my ISP is running in unmanned mode meaning no hotline, but I call them on Monday unless the problem disappears by itself. I just wonder what I say, because from non-i-world point of view everything works well, and I know for sure guys in the ISP support don't own any i-stuff, (because they are all android fanatics) . I'm not telling them my Apple ID to let them reproduce the problem on their home equipment, which means I come almost totally proofless.

    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.
