Lag in iTunes Playback via ATV

I recently noticed a serious lag in my iTunes playback over my ATV. I can see the library and the playlists, but when I select music, I get the spinning wheel for various lengths of time until it finally loads. Playback may or may not be consistent after loading. I may listen to part of one song, or it may go for three hours, no consistency there.
Nothing else is affected on the network. All other iOS devices connected to WiFi have strong connections. Computer and ATV are on the same network, no firewalls. I am running a 2008 MBP on 10.9.2 with iTunes and ATV both on most recent SW versions. Modem and router are both Netgear, and have been reset.
Any thoughts?

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

IPhone headset no more able to control iTunes playback on MacBook Pro

After I have updated to Mac OS X 10.6.5 and iTunes 10.1 on the latest 13" MacBook Pro, it's not possible to control the iTunes via iPhone headset anymore. Only the volume keys work but the middle key (which can be used for play, pause, next, previous, fast forward) stopped working. I've been looking for any possible settings to activate that in iTunes but I can't see any. Can anyone else confirm that? And could you suggest a solution? I was really used to controlling iTunes playback the same way I am controlling it on the iPhone and I thought it was really cool that Apple has allowed such consistency and interoperability between products. I hope that's a bug and not a decision.

There is another thread about this problem:

I just purchased Duet 2 and am using it with Garageband 11. I am getting iTunes playbacks through the headphone monitors with Duet 2 but can get no guitar or vocals recorded. I get no volume

I just purchased Apogee Duet 2 and am using it with Garageband 11. I am getting iTunes playbacks through the headphone monitors as per quick startup directions. When I open Garageband I get the same identical stack of guitar and on pedal displayed. I get no sound from the guitar. I believe I have the set up exactly as per diagram and cannot figure things out. I am relatively green at this - my best intentioned purchase now feels like a nightmare!! Help!!

Yes, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:

Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.

How do i play music on my ipad via ATV?

just set up the apple tv, found the remote app. but it all seems to require the computer that the ipad is sync'd to to be turned on. can't i just play from ipad via atv to my home theater sound systems?

The Remote app is for controlling iTunes on your computer. You can also control the Apple TV.
If the songs are in iTunes, you can simply use the Apple TV.
If you want to play songs on the iPad that are not in iTunes (they should be. Sync the iPad to iTunes), play the song in the iPod app on the iPad then tap the AirPlay icon at the lower right of the iPod app.

ITunes playback corrupted after FW 800 drive attached

I suspect this problem is more of a hardware issue than a software issue. But let me describe the problem.
I use iTunes to play mp3 recordings from my Mac Pro desktop with the output through a FW audio device (M-Audio Profire 610). Everything works fine until I attach an external My Passport hard drive connected via FW 800 cable to the computer. As soon as this drive is connected there is immediate static and disruption of the itune playback that gets progressively worse until there is nothing but noise. Disconnecting the external hard drive does not remedy the situation. Neither does restarting iTunes.
The only way to fix the problem is to restart the computer.
Does anyone have any ideas what is happening? The computer is offsite. But when I have time to do some troubleshooting I will try connecting the hard drive with a different FW 800 cable or try connecting with its usb connector. I will also try a different FW 800 device to see if the problem is repeated with a different drive.
John
Edit: Additional information. When I attach this firewire drive to my home computer running iTunes this problem does not occur. It is only with the offsite problematic computer. However, I am not using a FW audio output device on my home computer.

If Aperature is working okay, then there may be no need to reinstall it.
I doubt reinstalling it (or anything else) will delete any preferences. Maybe sone obscure 3rd party apps will write over prefs when reinstalling but I have never heard of any Apple applications deleting prefs when reinstalling.
Reinstalling iTunes will not affect anything. All preferences will be as they were.

How can a parent restrict a child's access to a PARENT'S PRE-EXSISTING iTunes account via iCloud's Family Sharing Program?

How can a parent restrict a child's access to a PARENT'S PRE-EXSISTING iTunes account via iCloud's Family Sharing Program? To explain further... I have a young son who is on my iCloud family sharing program... I am excited to be able to share SOME of my music in my iTunes library, but there are some songs and music videos that are not age appropriate for him and currently there is no way to restrict him from viewing and downloading anything off of my iTunes library. Yes, I suppose I can delete the songs he shouldn't have access to, but I don't think I should have to do that... I paid for them and still like them and listen to them while I work out or am without my kids. Is there a way for me to personally select which songs/videos I would like to "hide" from my children in an effort to shield them from inappropriate content?

Hello ggg39,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have some content in your iTunes library that you would like to restrict access for the child set up on Family Sharing with you. To do this, you can set restrictions on the child’s device as described in the attached article.
Family Sharing - Apple Support
Now kids under 13 can have their own Apple IDs. As a parent or legal guardian, the family organizer can create an Apple ID for a child and add the child to the family group automatically. Ask to Buy is turned on by default, and the organizer can also limit the content kids have access to on their devices through Restrictions on an iOS device or parental controls in OS X and iTunes.
For more information on restrictions and how to set them up, please reference the next attached article.
About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Have a great day,
Joe

No Mirroring in Ipad 2? I have IPAD2 and Apple Tv 4.3. I can airplay videos/music from Ipad2 to my HDTV via ATV, but I cant mirror it. When I select airplay to switch from Ipad2 to Apple TV, Mirroring does not show as an option. What am I missing?

Itunes playback has no sound

Hi, it seems that since I have moved onto itunes version 8 I can no longer use the playback for movies or music! I select a title and it appears in the itunes playback window but the diamond indicator does not move and nothing can be heard! I'm using Windows Vista and have checked my sound playback on things and all seems ok. Anyone got any idea?
Cheers.

Hi. I had the same problem, and after an afternoon of digging and changing configurations I figured it out for my own computer - hope it works for you. Go to control panel > programs > default programs > set program access and computer defaults. You can then choose between 3 configurations: windows, non-windows, and custom. Choose custom, and under default media player, disable access to windows media player and windows media center, and choose itunes as your default. Hope it works!!

ITunes Store via iPod Touch WiFi download for Digital Booklet

I purchased Drastic Fantastic/KT Tunsall's new music Deluxe Version. I note that the Digital Booklet extras did not download to the iPod touch via the WiFi download. Nor did they download on their own when I did the synch with my laptop. Finally I went into my iTunes account via my laptop and viewed my purchases. Sure enough they were purchased. I then use the check for purchases on iTunes and it still didn't catch the missing booklets. Finally I went into my account to report the trouble and they started to download.
Are the booklets too big to come directly to the iPodTouch via Wifi? Are they supposed to download later on your computer when you go to the iTunes Store?

All videos and digital booklets are downloaded separately after you have synced your ipod touch to the computer and your itunes library. Every album that has a digital booklet states this at the very bottom of the album list on wifi ITMS. When you try to sync a digital booklet to the ipod touch you get a error message stating that "Name of booklet cannot be synced to the ipod touch." Its not a size issue just simply that they are not compatible with the ipod touch.

Does the Iphone 3G support music playback via a bluetooth headset?

Hi All,
Does the Iphine 3g support music playback via a bluetooth headset at all, I suspect not...

It's been on many a user's requested feature list since the first iPhone, and people were disappointed when it didn't show up on the 3G. The adaptor he links to will get the job done.
I have to admit I've demoed a couple of bluetooth stereo headsets, and the music sounded awful. Perhaps it's improved, but for this reason it's not a feature I've personally wished was included.

Is iTunes endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store"? Or is something a bit different going on?

Need Itunes sync suggestions - ATV Day 2

Hello, I have tried to sync my itunes to my ATV. Not all the songs/albums are sync (it seems it is sync very slowly). It is taking forever to sync. Is this normal? How long should it take (about 500 albums - about 4000 songs). Any suggestions on making it sync faster? I am using a Wifi connection from my MacBook. Thanks

I think I can answer this one.
I take it your single first of all.
Ok Dave, when it's done loading, you'll be married and have 2 kids.
You might have come across my post 'Day 2 w/ATV'
I learned a few things in the past 30 hours. My ATV is 32Gb.
Your model must be 40Tb.
Just to fill 32Gb took all of today constantly re-selecting content to remove to make space.
You might try an ethernet connection between the 2 devices to see if data can process faster.
I haven''t tried to confirm, but in theory it's supposed to work.
Any suggestions on making it sync faster? I am using a Wifi connection from my MacBook. Thanks DAVE
