Music plays slowly on Apple TV with Remote or Streaming from ATV

When using Apple's Remote application on my iPhone or when selecting streamed playlists from my Apple TV the music plays slowly. It plays with no interruptions, what I mean is that the tempo is off. I do not have this problem when selecting and streaming through AirTunes to the AppleTV from my Mac Pro.
This started to happen with iTunes8...
Anyone else notice this? It is truly irritating to listen to music when it just isn't up to speed.

I appreciate that in a pc environment with a full blown operating system you shouldn't really need to restart to diagnose faults, however I believe we are all going to need to get used to restarting consumer gadgets on a regular basis. I've been in the habit of restarting my phone every day for around five or six years now and I didn't stop when I got my iphone.

Trouble-shooting no sound through the right side of Apple earphones with remote...

Hope this story of trouble-shooting this problem helps someone in the future.
For some strange reason, when I listened to a podcast using the Music app through the Apple earphones with remote on my iPhone 4, the right side has no sound. However, when I pull the earphone plug out one notch, I get sound from both sides, but the remote controls no longer work. At that point, I was sure I had a hardware problem, but where it lay-- earphones or iPhone 4, I didn't know.
1. For my first step, I tried the earphones with another iPhone 4, and got the exact same results. That convinced me that it was a problem with the earphones, but then I tried them on our iPad and they worked fine!
2. That ruled out the earphones and got me wondering if both iPhone 4's earphone jacks were flakey or misbehaving. I had read about the old fuzz in the jack problem, so I used an air blower to clean it out, but it made no difference. I still figured that maybe both jacks were stressed in some way, although two of them?
3. Then I read that some people found different apps worked--and even specifically that running Skype could solve things. That didn't work. However, it led me to try various streaming apps (e.g., Portal to the Universe, NPR) and everything was fine-- sound from both sides and remote controls fully functional.
At that point, I was convinced there was something odd going on with the Music app.
4. Finally, it occurred to me to try other podcasts-- and even other episodes of the particular podcast. They all worked fine.
So, it ended up being one particular podcast-- and, while I still do not know why, it means that the earphones, the headphone jack, the iPhones are all in fine shape! Yay!
In any event, the bottom-line is that it's really smart to consider *all* the variables that could be affecting the situation--especially the most obvious ones that you wouldn't even think about it. As it turned out, in my case, I had tested the very same podcast on both iPhones, so no wonder I got the very same results!

I think you're right-- however, I always thought that mono recordings played through both ears--always worked that way on my old stereo system!
This podcast does that, too, but only if one pulls the plug out a bit! That's what's confusing to me. Why does it change from both ears to only one ear depending on far the plug is pushed in? (And especially as it behaves opposite what one would expect-- both ears when not plugged in all the way-- only 1 when fully embedded!)

Using Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic on my Macbook

Is it possible to use the remote to control volume on my macbook? I know the mic works but I can't get the remote to. Is it even possible to use the remote?

I have a unibody Macbook with OSX 10.6.1 and it works with my Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic. However, whenever I plug them in to the Macbook it takes up to 10 seconds for the volume and tracking controls to start working on the earphone remote. Also, if there is music playing in iTunes, the audio drops out for about the same amount of time. The hardware buttons on the Macbook also stop functioning during this time. The same behavior occurs when unplugging the earphones.
Basically, it seems like the Macbook is extremely slow when adding / removing the earphones as an audio control device.
Has anyone else noticed anything like this? Thanks!

How does the Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program non-return fee work?

I have a pair of Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic that I purchased a year ago. According to the "Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program", http://www.apple.com/support/headphones/replacementprogram/, these headphones are also covered in the program. Currently, there are some issues with my headphone's remote, as it is extremely unresponsive. I don't know how Apple determines the headphone's purchase date, but their online service request page accepts my iPhone's serial number. Is there any way that i could ensure that Apple's willing to replace the headphones for free (E.g. mailing my current ones in first) because the non-return fee is basically its retail price. I do not live in the US so I can't go and exchange at an Apple Retail Store. Thanks in advance.

I would just bring them into your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and ask.

Accidental damage is not covered under the warranty but if possible to reset the screen without causing additional damage, the Apple Store should do this without charging for it.

Apple Earbuds with remote mic/volume functions not working in Windows

So this is somewhat of a strange one. My new Macbook Pro early 2011 with a fresh copy of Windows 7 Pro with all latest updates (including the recent firmware and bootcamp releases) doesn't seem to see my Apple Earbuds with remote as a microphone and the volume commands from the earbuds do nothing. However this works fine under OSX and used to work with my mid 2009 MBP. Anyone else seeing this and does anyone know a way to solve this problem?

I'm having the same problem here. Did you find a solution?

Problem playing remote live stream from FMS

Hello all,
I'm having problems playing remote live streams from FMS (server-side) that I can play with any other player (client-side)
Example of server-side application which plays a remote live stream:
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://remoteserver/live");
stream = Stream.get("localStream");
stream.play("remoteStream.flv", -1, -1, true, nc);
This code works only sometimes.
Most of the times, FMS is able to connect to remote string and the localStream dispatches events:
   NetStream.Publish.Strart
   NetStream.Play.Reset
In this case, FMS is publishing the local stream but it is not playing the remoteStrem on it.
The rest of the times, localStream dispatches events:
   NetStream.Publish.Strart
   NetStream.Play.Reset
   NetStream.Play.Start
   NetStream.Data.Start
In this case FMS plays the remoteStream correctly.
Any hint to solve this issue?
Regards.

Thanks, I tried your code and it works when playing a remote live stream on another FMS.
But the remote live stream is not on a FMS but on a Wowza Server which re-streams an RTSP stream over RTMP.
With this code:
var nc;
var myStream;
application.onAppStart = function(){
     nc = new NetConnection();
     myStream = Stream.get("localstream");
     myStream.onStatus= function(info){
           trace(info.code);
     nc.onStatus = function(info){
           trace (info.code);
           if(info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success" ){
                myStream.play("remoteLive.sdp", -1, -1, true, nc);
     nc.connect("rtmp://remoteServer/live");
Every live stream player I tried was able to play the remote stream "remoteLive.sdp", but FMS play it only sometimes. This is the output log of the FMS application:
NetConnection.Connect.Success
NetStream.Publish.Start
NetStream.Play.Reset        <--------------------------------- Stuck there, stream won't play
Unloaded application instance wowza4/_definst_ <--- Reload app
NetConnection.Connect.Success
NetStream.Publish.Start
NetStream.Play.Reset        <--------------------------------- Stuck there, stream won't play
Unloaded application instance wowza4/_definst_ <--- Reload app
NetConnection.Connect.Success
NetStream.Publish.Start
NetStream.Play.Reset
NetStream.Play.Start       <--------------------------------- Stream is playing just fine
NetStream.Data.Start
Unloaded application instance wowza4/_definst_ <--- Reload app
NetConnection.Connect.Success
NetStream.Publish.Start
NetStream.Play.Reset       <--------------------------------- Stuck there, stream won't play
Any idea? Why FMS won't play it everytime?
Regards

Controlling Apple TV with Remote App on iPhone 5 Issues

Hello,
Been having this problem since I got my iPhone 5, for about a month.
When I am in the Remote app on my iPhone, and I have chosen my Apple TV as my device, choose my iMac to play content off of, once I find my content and select it, the following happens for anything, movies, tv shows, music, music videos:
Tap content to begin playing > Screen on iPhone goes to Now Playing screen with no artwork and title says "Lable" > the spinning wheel appears on the screen from the Apple TV and spins for about 10 seconds > Meanwhile, the Remote app loses its connect to the Apple TV and says "Connecting to Apple TV" > Once the spinning wheel is done it goes back to the main menu of the Apple TV > Remote app goes back to the available computers screen.
I am signed in to home sharing on all systems. I have restored the Apple TV from the latest software and also deleted and reinstalled the Remote app.
The reason i know the content is fine is I can play any of it directly from my iMac to the Apple TV using the normal menu system, this only happens when I try playing the content through the Remote app.
Naturally I can get away with using the Apple TV but I want to find out the problem cause it is much easier to navigate the Remote app than the ATV.
Running iTunes 10.7, latest and have the lastest iOS on my iPhone as well.
Any insight is very appreciated.
Thank you!

Same trouble here, iPad 2 with latest OS and remote app, iPod with latest OS and app.

How does Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic(MD827ZM/A) work with iPod 3rd Generation

I have recently bought EarPods With remote and mic (MD827ZM/A) for my old iPod shuffle (3rd generation) Software V 1.1, capacity 2GB
but these EarPods doesn't seems like working with my iPod, any possible solution ?

You can also get an "adapter," that has compatible remote control buttons. There are several such products, for example

You can then connect the any standard headphones to the adapter, including Apple EarPods.

TS2278 Error Occured when trying to play iTunes on Apple TV with PC

15000 when streaming to AirPort Express base stations using iTunes with a PC

Are you only having trouble streaming from this particular PC or any network client to the Apple TV? How is the PC connected to the network, specifically by wire or wireless? What is the make and model of your wireless router? I assume that the Apple TV is connected by wireless to this same router ... correct? What operating system is your PC running?

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.

Apple TV Cuts off when streaming from iTunes

Since a couple days ago, when I stream a TV show I have brought from iTunes directly to watch it works fine but every 8 - 9 minutes, without fail it will cut off and say the iTunes store is not avaliable. I then simple press play again and it starts again, but then 8 - 9 minutes later the same thing happens? Does anyone know a way to fix this?? It's very frustrating when you're watching an hour long TV show and it cuts off 6 or 7 times!!
Thanks.
P.S. It worked fine until a couple days ago.

its something on itunes part, like lantzn said we all been trying to get them to help us
if you stream from your library---- works fine
if you stream from netflix-----all is fine
if you stream from itunes store ----whatever you are watching will cut off after 8min 59 sec
you can resume but just 9 min later the same thing happens again.
I have spent 2 days trouble shooting the issue with Apple care, I even opened a new Apple tv I got for my family room which is doing the same thing, I reset my settings, I refreshed my network still the same problem
today on a return call I got from apple care they agree its on itunes end, so he made a call or chat whatever they did to the tech support at the itunes store dept and they gave him the same as I got from express lane, everything is fine on their end....its not!
they told him to tell me its my network ...its not! I have 2 xbox consoles and they both work fine when I stream videos, I have no issue with anything on my Apple tv such as youtube or netflix or my library
jus the store.
there are so many complaining on this exact issue and they need to understand
the coomon issues we all have
started on the 19th of this month
itune store cuts off after 8min and 59 sec
it can resume but will cut off after 8min and 59 sec
can watch netflix with no problems
can use my library to stream with no problems
it could be a server issue or update but the new apple tv I opened was 4.4.3 and it had the same issues as the one I been using which is 4.4.4
The only thing I can suggest is if you have the Apple care on your Apple TV is to call over and over and let them know this is happening because if they get the calls then hopefully someone will keep contacting the itune store support and fix it.
itunes support told apple care to go to a store and have them test it on their network
Honestly, I can not make it to the genuis bar at a apple store for a bit because I was in a car accident and can't walk on my leg, so trust me I was looking forward to watching a bunch of movies, I could but the resuming after every 9 min blows.
so frustrated but im calling apple care again in the morning.

My apple tv is slow when streaming from my computer

My apple TV works fie when I stream from the internet on Nexflix or when renting movies etc. However, it has a hard time displaying pictures or playing audio or video from my iTunes account.

The Mac is using wi-fi and wired? Why?
Isn't the Mac plugged into the router that supplies wi-fi?
