apple tv keeps losing the connection to itunes

Hi I have all my appletvs set to NEVER SLEEP - go to your appletv settings/general/sleep after and choose never sleep. Since doing that I have had no problem with them. Also I leave my 2010 macbook pro running itunes and permanently on and open - it is my main homesharing disk. I give it a sleep every now and then when not using appletv.
Try that first anyway.

I keep losing the connection on my apple mouse

I keep losing the connection to my apple mouse. The batteries are ok, but the connection still drifts in and out. Any suggestions?

You say the batteries are okay.    Here are a few notes I've put together.
Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are more likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems.   Apple’s own brand, Eneloop and Energiser appear to be the best.
Rechargeable batteries for the standard Magic mouse are unlikely to exceed eighteen days before needing a recharge although the mouse itself can be a limiting factor.   I have seen reports that some Logitech mice vastly exceed this.    Apple may suggest more in their sales blurb but this is a realistic expectation.   The benefit (if you are organised) is that you can always have charged batteries available.   Regular batteries will give you between 25 and 35 days before they need to be replaced.
Note. Never mix old and new batteries or rechargeable and regular.   The notes above are based on my personal experience, not shutting down my machine and using it for around four hours per day.
Note.   Monitors do not always faithfully report battery strength, particularly the rechargeable ones.
When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries ... Turn off the device. Remove the batteries, Clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and the batteries themselves. Replace or renew both batteries. Turn on the device.   You should get a blinking green light if the device is paired. Click the mouse to activate it. The green light becomes steady.

I upgraded Lion recently to 10.7.3. Since that time I am having trouble with my wireless connection. All other devices are fine, but I keep losing the connection since the upgrade.

Recently I upgraded Lion to 10.7.3. Since that time I have been having a lot of trouble with my internet connection. I keep losing the connect and have to go to diagnostics and turn it back on. Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks, Pat

I'm afraid there are numerous threads on here discussing this problem. I posted in this one earlier that has a couple of suggestions, but the real solution will hopefully be provided in an update from Apple:

My iMac keeps losing the connection to my chosen Airport Wi-Fi network. Anyone know why this happens?

My iMac keeps losing the connection to my chosen Airport Wi-Fi network. Anyone know why this happens?

Close all Apps and see if Activity Monitor shows any processes runnung.
Not that I think this is the cure but have you tried these resets:
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
PRAM RESET
Zap the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

I have a Airport Extreme 802.11n and my T.V. is a panisonic,I keep losing the connection. Anybody have any answers?

I have a Airport Extreme 802.11n and my T.V. is a panisonic,I keep losing the connection. Anybody have any answers?

Plenty of suggestions.. only you can find out which one is correct.
What model AE? What firmware?
Since Panasonic TV is not apple it will use SMB windows type networking.. everything but Apple does.
Are the names in the AE all SMB compatible.. ie short.. max about 20 characters.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Is the security set to WPA2 Personal with a pure alphanumeric password of 10-20 characters.. more is fine if you suffer paranoia but isn't needed.
Fix the wireless channels.. so it doesn't flip flop like a dying fish.
There are only 3 channels for 2.4ghz that do not overlap, 11, 6, 1 although someone suggested 8 works well if you have heaps of interference. If you live in flat/apartment building you have heaps of interference.
Lastly is it stable if the distance is 3M direct line of sight?
If not then get a high power wireless AP and use that instead.

TS1398 My ipad3 seems to have connection issues. It is wifi only but keeps losing the connection and is really slow in loading pages - a bit like dial-up speed! My iPhone 4s and daughters' ipad2 have no problems at all. Any ideas anyone?

My ipad3 seems to have connection issues. It is wifi only but keeps losing the connection and is really slow in loading pages - a bit like dial-up speed! My iPhone 4s and daughters' ipad2 have no problems at all. Any ideas anyone?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Can't re-order my queue on Netflix and keep losing the connection

I'm having so much trouble with Netflix! I can't re-order my queue, I keep losing the connection, and it's painfully slow. Is Netflix known to be unstable on iPad? Other internet connecitons seem to be fine.

I rarely have problems on it - I do occasionally have drops in video quality, but nothing consistent. It does require a very strong and stable network connection, and I also wonder if they have periodic "crush time" incidents on their end, considering the rapid growth of Netflix streaming.
Updating the queue is a pain on it - you can't do it on the app, and have to go to their website. I generally find it easier to do on a computer.

I keep getting the "connect to itunes" screen and have to restore my ipad. it will also drop the wifi connection every few mintues. what can be causing this?

I keep getting the "connect to itunes" screen and have to connect to itunes and do a restore on it. It will not pick up my ipad so I either have to do a restore or restore to new and it will work fine for a day or so except for dropping the wifi connection. What can be causing this? I have had this pad since January of this year and have not had any problems until recently.

If you have to keep restoring your iPad with iTunes repeatedly and there is no change after restoring as a new iPad or not from the iPad's backup, your iPad has a major problem - likely a hardware problem. The iPad includes a one year warranty. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

My AppleTV2 keeps dropping the connection to itunes on my PC.

My AppleTV2 keeps dropping the connection to itunes on my PC
If i retstart iTunes or homesharing it starts up again but only for a few minutes.
This is hopeless and has been happening to many others- please can you give me a fix for this?

I have the same problem with my apple tv and itunes. Home sharing is on but it keeps dropping out every couple of minutes - really annoying! I noticed tonight that it drops out when i select the shows and music in my library on the TV with the remote that comes with apple tv, but when i play tv shows or my music by selecting clicking play from itunes on my laptop it works. There's definitely a bug but try this work around and see if you have any luck.

Apple tv keeps loosing the connection with the mac

Purchased a new desktop mac, time machine and an apple tv. everything is working splendid however the the apple tv seems to keep loosing the connection with the computer. As I sit here i see its no longer listed on the i tunes as a device, I seem to have to reset to the factory defaults again and re install it. I hope I am wrong and I am missing a step and its there and maybe I just don't know how to access it, So here I am posting this to all, Help.... I will be the first to admit I really am a little lost with this apple tv
thanks you everyone

I have the same problem as you do. i have had my apple tv for about 2 years now. I connect my apple tv to my iMac, via wifi by airport extreme. i used to before connect via ethernet cable to my airport extreme, i still had the same problem as you do. that itunes losses the apple tv. yet, from apple tv i can still access the internet. i have gone through all my settings on my airport, they are all correct. the connection only seems to last a few days then, it just losses connection. i have asked this question before, but now one was able to help. Apple is not interested because apple tv is just a pet project to them. you do not have to rest the apple tv every time, you just need to go to the options menu and select the connected computers and tell it to delete connection to your computer. once it has done that, make a new connection to your computer on itunes put in the new passcode and set up which films etc you want to be sync. We should not have to do this every few days. Apple needs to sort this out or at least lets us know how to stop this.

Help needed!! Why do I keep losing the connection to my cRIO?

Hi All,
I've got a real time system with the following setup.
I have got a cRIO out in the field running a real time application that accquires data from various thermocouples and sends the data to the my host computer over a wireless radio link. I am using a wireless ethernet modem with a data transfer rate of 100 kb/sec. The modem is being shared by 12 other radios also transmitting data to the host PC.
So, basically, I've got the host PC on one end and 13 field computers (one of which is my cRIO running a real-time application) on the other end. The 13 field computers are sending data to the host PC over wireless radio links utilizing a single wireless ethernet modem. The data from the 13 radios is placed on a que and the modem cycles through the que enabling the data from each radio to pass through one at a time.
My real time application is sampling the thermocouple data every 1 sec and sending it across to the host application via a shared variable
The host PC is also running an application that acts as the user interface.
My problem is this:
My system runs OK for a couple of minutes and then suddenly I lose the conection to the cRIO. Once this happens, I have to manually reset the cRIO (i.e. cycle the power back on) to re-establish the connection. This is both tiresome and inconvenient as the system needs to be able to run continuously for several hrs.
What could be the possible causes for this loss in connection? Is it possible that a clash between signals causes the modem to drop the connection to the cRIO? If so, is there a way to monitor the connection between the host and cRIO and automatically reset the cRIO in the event of a lost connection?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Taizoon

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I was overflowing my FIFO so it may be a memory issue. However, it dies hard when I place a probe on my FIFO read data. Since this seems to be repeatable, NI may be able to look into it.
Anyways, I'll try some of my own troubleshooting and your suggestions then if I'm still having problems I'll be sure to check back.

My apple tv keeps losing internet connection. I'm going from modem to airport and from airport to apple tv. I've replaced the modem and the apple tv and it still does it. Internet to my laptop via the airport wifi is fine and never drops out.

I keep having to restart it every time I want to use it. Sometimes I have to restart it multiple times. The cord goes from the cable modem to the airport and then from the airport to the apple tv. I've replaced the apple TV and I've replaced the modem and the problem persists. I assume it has to be the aiport? But the wifi from the airport works fine.
I tried bypassing the airport and going straight from the modem to the apple tv and it wouldn't work. That makes no sense to me.
I had a friend over to try and figure it out and he couldn't. Any idea what could be the problem??

The Ethernet cable from the modem should be connected to the AirPort's WAN (circle of dots) port and a second Ethernet cable should be connected between the AirPort's LAN (opposing arrows) port and the Ethernet port on the Apple TV. Is this the case?
If so, what is the make & model of the modem that the AirPort is connected to. Also what is the exact model of both the AirPort and the Apple TV?

My printer keeps losing the connection to my wifi network

I have tried deleting and adding again. Sometimes it works but then it goes down again. I have tried two different printers. I recently changed our wifi to password protected, but I have set it up on the printers and they recognize and connect. It is my computer that cannot find the printer.

Anything is possible but I don't know how I would know that. We have a wirless network that serves my imac, a pc desktop, a laptop, and various mobile devices, as well as the printer. It just seemed to stop working on the network. I downloaded all updates. I am going to remove the wireless printer form the mac for now so that the others can use it. I will hook up a usb printer to the mac. Though that seems so ridiculous. I have tried everything else I can think of.
Is it possible that my modem or router are causing the problem? I just commuication error every time even though the signals and network seem to be performing just fine.

FireFox keeps losing the connection to the server at my local cable company

frequently over past week I get a message that says Firefox cannot find the server at Armstrong cable. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox and restarting my computer. I have Trend Micro Titanium anti-virus software on my laptop and a full scan did not detect any issues or problems.

I have exactly the same problem. Internet provider (Time Warner) repaired a cable, installed a new splitter and a new modem. It worked for a day, then same problem. TWC tech verified cable, modem and router OK, problem in the computer. My work around is to disconnect the ethernet from the computer and operate it soley on WiFi. I hope to find out what is wrong with the iMac (running Lion), but for now it works fine this way.
I had even restoree the OS, did not help.
Go to the network preferences and make sure your network is selected, and it should work.
