Monitor always on while streaming to apple tv

Hi,
I'm using home sharing from my mac pro to stream to the apple tv, and it works well. It wakes the mac when it's asleep, but the problem is that the monitor (30" acd) connected to the mac stays on as long as it's streaming to the apple tv.
I was hoping the new "low power wake" feature in lion would apply to streaming to apple tv, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Any ideas how I can get the monitor to sleep as it should while streaming?

Why don't you try it?

Itunes content cutting off while streaming to apple tv

After the 4.2.2 software update, my Apple TV suddently stops playing any type of media from my iTunes library (video or audio). It has not affected Netflix streaming or Youtube at all. The cutoff is seamingly random; sometimes it plays almost all the way through and then cuts off, sometimes it only plays for a few seconds and cuts off. When the media stops, the Apple TV goes to the main menu and does not show the album art across the top. I don't believe it is a networking issue because my Apple TV is using the ethernet cable. After this issue began, I started using my MBP and Airplay to play the media and have absolutely no issues. This never happened before i ran the update.

Same irritating issues with a couple new twists:
My system worked perfectly fine until the last update (4.2.2), here is a recap of my issues in case anyone has found similar challenges and a 'miracle cure'
Now when I launch Apple TV, it will only play one song, quit playing and tosses me to the movie tab. If I go back to the 'computer' tab, reload my library select a song - it will play randomly.
The random selection has also been affected.....over the last 4 days every time I try 'random selection' it has limited itself to only 15-20 CD's and it's been the same cd's that keep appearing each day. I have thousands in the system - this is also a new issue.
I tell it to play an entire downloaded I-Tunes cd, it tells me there is no content..so I have to manually start the cd but it will only play one song, I now need to manually move it to the next song. It won't even shuffle within a selected CD
The update messed up the shuffle command, now I can't turn it Off.
I called the Apple Help(less) desk and they would NOT admit there are issues...After all the enjoyment I've had with this product this is very frustrating

Airplay no volume while streaming to Apple TV2

Anyone have this issue. I just downloaded the new Moutain Lion OS and tried out the Airplay option. It works great except for no volume streaming to the TV. Anyone out there tell me what I may be doing wrong or is this a bug.

Yes that seemed to be my probelm. Airplay is now working with audio.
Thanks for the quick response.

Charge while streaming?

Good afternoon everyone,
Newbie here. Never had any kind of Smartphone before so forgive me if this seems like a silly question.
I would like to stream radio through my phone ( I have the AT&T unlimited BB data plan). I know it uses a lot of battery to do this. My question is can I use the USB data cord that came with the phone, plugged into the USB port on my monitor, to charge while streaming radio? I wasn't sure if it would work simultaneously like that.
Like I said probably a really silly and simple question for you all but, I'm about as new to this as you can get.
PS. Got any good ideas for a stand? Doesn't need to be the charging dock (I'll get that for home). I just want something for at work, to prop the phone up while listening.
Thanks for the help!

Yes, you can certainly charge the device while streaming audio.
No problems.
For a stand the charging pod will work. I don't know of a pure "stand" with no other function.

Apple TV Randomly Disconnects From iTunes While Streaming Videos

Hey All,
Anyone having an issue where your Apple TV randomly disconnects from your iTunes on another computer while streaming videos from it? Randomly, on different shows and movies, I have had it do it quite a few times.
In the beginning, after it would disconnect, within a few seconds, it would reconnect to iTunes and then I would have to navigate back to what I was watching and and resume it. Now, it will disconnect, and then I will have to quit iTunes on my iMac and then start it up again.
I am curious if it is an issue with the wireless adapter on the ATV because when it happens, it looks like it losses complete connection with the iTunes and then reconnects to the net only after. Then I would need to restart iTunes on my iMac to continue watching my show.
This was happening before the recent update and continues after the update as well.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

You're talking about those WIFI bridges they make for xbox 360s that connect the 360 ethernet to a wifi adapter, bridging it?
That is a possible solution, but I will definitely check with Apple first, hoping it will be a no money solution (I am a grad student, every dollar helps).
My apartment is two rooms, my iMac being in another room, so that wouldn't work. The Wifi extender will probably be my only hope if Apple is not cool with the helping a brother out.

IMac froze while surfing web last night (color pinwheel), I forced quit and now when rebooting the fan and chime come on, the monitor stays on grey and the apple sign is replaced by a stop sign and I can't get past this, is there self fix? Never backed up

iMac froze while surfing web last night (color pinwheel), I forced quit and now when rebooting the fan and chime come on, the monitor stays on grey and the apple sign is replaced by a stop sign and I can't get past this, is there self fix? Never backed up.
The computer (top / back of monitor) gets really hot within minutes.

How old is the iMac?
With no backup, you have probably lost all your data.
Sounds like serious hardware problem for which you are going to have to take it to Apple for an estimate of repairs.

Apple TV2 using bandwidth while streaming from iTunes

I am wondering if anyone has solved the elusive issue as to why my recently purchased Apple TV2 is using my ISP bandwidth when using home sharing from iTunes on my MB. I am using an Airport Extreme (less than 2 years old) with the latest firmware, and this issue is still occurring. I do not have iCloud, or iTunes Match enabled. I have never had this issue when using my Airport Express running to my home stereo, but suddenly i've used 1.46G of bandwidth on Saturday night while streaming 3 hours of music using Apple TV2.
While I am a self admitted Apple junkie, this issue causes me great concern and not what I would expect from an Apple product.
Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, try this simple test. Disconnect your modem/router from the internet (i.e. unplug the coax cable or phone line) and then see if you can access your music on the Apple TV (under the "Computers" menu). If the music and videos still work then that indicates that you aren't streaming that content using iCloud or iTunes Match.
However, if it doesn't work (can't access content) then that proves that you are indeed (somehow) streaming from the internet. In this case I'd check to make certain that ALL of the content you are trying to access is PHYSICALLY stored on you local Mac/PC and that the content is reachable via the iTunes app running on that same Mac/PC. If it is then next I'd do a factory restore on the Apple TV and then see what happens.

While streaming music from i-phone 4s to apple tv, it stoppes working after 2 minutes. Its worked fine for a year or so, no problem, never moved it or touched it! Can anyone help please?

While streaming music from my i-phone 4s, it stops working after 2 miutes and so does music from my i-tunes after about two songs, very frustrating! Have tried allsorts!!!

That indicates a network issue, what exactly have you tried?

New Airport Extreme network won't hold stream to Apple TV

(I thought about posting this in the Apple TV forum but I think this is more appropriate here.)
For months I had a network configured in my home that included two Airport Express base stations. My cable modem plugged directly into one of them (in my office) and then both computers (G4 desktop and new laptop) shared internet, etc. via wireless. The other base station was in my living room to extend the network.
Upon getting an Apple TV many months ago, I began streaming my iTunes library that is stored on the G4: tens of thousands of files. I used this means of employing my Apple TV and listening to my music just about *every day*, for months. Streaming was always smooth -- never a hiccup, never an interruption, and I was thrilled by this new way of accessing my collection.
Recently, however, I replaced the office Express station with a new Extreme station, thinking it would possibly make the network faster as I could now connect the station back to the G4 via an Ethernet connection, now at least having one computer on the internet via a lined connection rather than wireless. And the new network works well in that aspect.
However, I can no longer stream any music to my Apple TV. It sees and accesses the library as it always has, but now just about every song gets choked up and drops the stream, no matter how I reconfigure the network (channel, transmit power, multicast rate, etc.).
Does anyone have any advice regarding how to make my network stable again so that I can resume streaming? I'm very disappointed that a major purpose for my Apple TV has been eradicated despite the fact that I thought I was actually upgrading.
Other factors could include the fact that within this time both the Mac OS software (10.4.10) and iTunes (7.3) have been updated by Apple. (I also wonder if the new Extreme station is too sophisticated for my G4, which maybe can't keep up with it, thus the choking?)
MacBook Pro 15" 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Such as
1) A network config issue. The G4 is still trying to
use Airport.
I have Airport shut completely off on the G4.
2) A software issue. The G4 is running a process
which is slowing it.
I don't notice any odd processes in Activity Monitor.
3) A hardware fault. The G4 has a hard drive with
errors, causing retries.
There are no notable errors on the drive but the whole process of accessing my iTunes library seems plodding and inefficient. The beach ball comes up a lot when accessing new parts of the library in iTunes.
Do a disk check.
I ran a disk check and defragmented not very long ago, so it should be okay.
Make sure software update is up-to-date. Reboot it.
I really thought today's iTunes 7.3.1 update would nail the problem, but it didn't... After 30 seconds, streaming stopped, Apple TV went back to menu.
Check Activity monitor for network speed, and
unwanted processes.
Nothing seems out of the ordinary.

Music streaming via Apple TV

While using my Apple tv to stream music, it all the time jumps back to the internal speakers of my Mac book. Anyone knows how to solve this?

Hi Jouk,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps to try if you are seeing issues with AirPlay between your computer and Apple TV:
iTunes: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5209
Troubleshooting performance issues
Wi-Fi Connection
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your AirPlay-enabled device.
Ensure that other devices aren't trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
Cheers,
- Ari

Have to restart iTunes EVERY time I want to stream to Apple TV!

I have the 2012 Apple TV and while Netflix, Youtube, etc. normally work well, I have to restart iTunes EVERY time I want to stream to Apple TV! My iMac is always on and the newest version of iTunes is always running. It doesn't seem to matter if the iMac is in sleep mode or not, and I have a very strong wifi signal coming from my Airport Express. Every time - not sometimes - I want to access music, TV shows or movies in iTunes on Apple TV, it says my library is loading, or cannot connect. Every time. What can I do?

WC, When I use the term Home Sharing it is perhaps a little oversimplified, it is quiet impractical and often overkill to continually restate the complete sequence of events that led me to 'a fix', however, I did not suddenly one day find a problem, switch to wi-fi and find all was well. There was significant investigation done on my part to try to find a solution. if by me saying I moved to wifi and it worked, others can move to wifi and have a fix, great. I am not trying to reinvent the wheel here, others much cleverer than me are looking at that...
I had a functioning setup over wired until approx 2 months ago with an ATV2 connecting to Imac library, I was at the time occasionally running some software that restarted itunes once finished which may have masked the problem if it was there, unlikely though. I purchased an ATV3 with a new TV, this upon installation required an ios update much the same time as the itunes update.
I noticed the white light on the atv3 flashing when it was asleep, this was not something i had seen on the atv2, Investigation suggested this was normal behaviour, I remain unconvinced of this.
from that point on 'Home Sharing' did not work until a restart of itunes, it would then work all night (6+ hours)
My mac was set to sleep over night, I tried turning that off-no difference, turned ip6 off-no difference, once it hangs other devices on the network are unable to see the itunes lib, iphone, ipad,MBP etc
Once the thing hangs, Netstat shows a massive quantity of open ports 100/150+ to each on/sleeping atv, a restart of itunes clears this lot. with wired, these connections start to build again, with wireless not so much.
looking back on here shows folks have had this problem in various guises since early 2011, apple by their own admission state the last update 'fixes some issues with Home Sharing', it seems it introduced some for me...
I am quite sure some peoples problems are down to underlying network problems however this is supposed to be 'Home Sharing' it shouldnt need a degree in computer science to configure, it should just work.
I am not about to pull my network apart to troubleshoot any further, between mac & atv's there are 2 x Giga/switches(netgear) and an Airport Extreme(bridged), the atv cable was plugged into the A.Ex no dice and now connects w/less to the same box and works fine...

Macbook audio stuttering while streaming from Netflix, Hulu, etc...

As of late my wife's 2008 Black Macbook 2.16ghz C2D has been acting up while streaming video. It first started with kernel panics, but Iocated the problem and relieved the Macbook of it. Now though after a hard drive erase to zero, a re-install of the OS, and an uprgade to the ram it has an audio stutter present when watching Netflix. I've checked practically everything on it. Even opened it up to check the hardware. Can anyone help? I ran this diagnostic from some help here in the forums.Can anyone see anything I'm missing? The help would surely be appreciated. Thanks!

You may have tried these suggestions before, but since I do not know the history here goes:
Looks like you have many plugins in your safari.
Disable all plugins except silverlight and try Netflix.
Try Chrome.
Once you run HULU the flash plugin it eat up hundreds of megabites of ram and then KEEP them for hours. It is a FLASH problem.
If you run Netflix (silverlight) after you run Hulu, you will run out of memory pretty quickly. The solution is to quit (not just close) Safari and then go to netflix.
Look at your activity monitor while you are using Netflix. How is your RAM and CPU usage?
Also Comcast (and the like) sometimes throttles your internet connection. Make sure your internet connection speed is still just as fast as it used to be.
