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.

  • 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 apple tv keeps losing the connection to iTunes.

    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.

  • Atv2 keeps dropping the connection to i tunes. I get a message telling me to open home sharing even though i have done so and i tunes is open on my iMac. This is not a new problem but it has gotten worse progressively

    ooops.starting again. The connection to i tunes via apple tv keeps dropping after a very short period of time. T get a message telling me to turn on home sharing when its is turned and and i tunes is open on my mac. I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74) but as the problem was happening before this i feel thats not significant. Any help would be appreciated

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply and the analogy, one can overlook the fact that it could be something other than the device that is the cause of the problem and i realise that, however frustration can creep in and cause one to overlook obvious things. I have spoken to my ISP and we have examined a number things, firstly my download speed on wireless which is a healthy 16mbps. Next the channels being used around me, which were numbers one, six and eleven, and we changed my channel to three. It would appear that those using eleven are mobile users with no fixed landline. I do not have any electrical devices anywhere near the ATV except for the TV itself, a DVD recorder and a PC computer only rrecently set up there and after the problems started anyway. I have removed the PC entirely from the room and it has no effect on the situation with the ATV. In the same room but some distance from the ATV, a lamp and the telephone base station, which has to be close to the socket which is in the same room as the TV and the ATV of course. The problem continues. I have actually tried connecting ATV by ethernet to the router, and last night that worked, today however it refuses to do anything at all.
    At this moment in time i have the computer connected via ethernet cable, though it connects by wireless perfectly. I have the ATV connected vis ethernet, and it fails to connect to iTunes at all.
    Overall i have stripped the thing down to its basics and started from scratch again more than once. I am not particularly clever, nor am i stupid. For me all i really want is to be able to plug this stuff in and have it do what it says on the tin. So far i have spent a great deal of time trying to figure out what is wrong with ATV, a device that cost £99 plus a few months ago, purchased 17th March this year, and i, like everyone else i suspect, have better things to do with my time. If you have any advice, help or suggestions i would be most grateful. Please do not think that my tone is in any way a criticism of you personally, its just a very frustrating experience.
    Many thanks

  • Why does my ipad 2 keep dropping the connection to my BT Home Hub, whilst streaming video, since upgrading to IOS 6?

    Ever since i have upgraded to IOS6 My connection to my BT Hub 3 wifi router keeps dropping out whenever i am streaming video. I have an Apple TV connected as well which is fine as are other devices, its just the Ipad since the move to IOS6. It is really frustrating and i had hoped the 6.01 release would have resolved it, but it didnt. I have seen other similar comments, i just want to know if this is a common known fault which Apple are going to fix.
    The strength of Apple has always been 'it just works' , i can't help but feel that there are cracks appearing in this.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Airport Extreme keeps dropping the connection

    Hi,
    I have this model:
    http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/
    It is connected to the main router which is for TalkTalk, router is just a standard Broadband Wireless N ADSl2+ Router.
    My settings in my AE are:
    Internet
    Connect Using: DHCP
    IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.2
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router Address: 192.168.1.1
    (nothing else is filled in)
    Internet Options
    Configure IPv6: Link-local only
    Wireless
    Network Mode: Create a wireless network
    Wireless Security: WPA2 Personal
    Wireless Options
    5ghz network name - ticked
    Radio Mode: 802.11a/n - 802.11b/g
    2.4ghz Channel: 1
    5ghz Channel: 40
    Network
    Router Mode: Off (Bridge Mode)
    Is there anything else I can do? Can I give you some more information?

    Overall the settings look good, except for the 2.4 GHz wireless channel in use.
    When you say that the connection is being dropped, is this a wired connection to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme......or.......are you talking about wireless connections to the AirPort Extreme?
    If wireless, have you connected a laptop or desktop directly to one of the LAN ports on the AirPort as a test to see if drops occur with that type of connection?
    Regarding wireless channels......
    Channel 1 is the most crowded channel in the world, since most routers default to that setting. If you have other wireless networks around you, they are likely interfering with your wireless network, causing disruptions.
    Try a higher setting like Channel 11, or 13 if it is available in your area.  Then work down a channel at a time to see if you can find a good one to use.

  • Home Hub keep dropping the connection

    Hi, getting rather fed up with this now,  i have a HH2 and phoned BT and spoke to someone in India he tested what he could and decided to send me another Home Hub 2.0.
    In the mean time i changed all the filters on the sky tv and the land line socket, got new HH and fitted it, went to change setting and password and it dropped out, so i did this again and again and again and well you get the idea, same old problem different day, i do downloads and leave the computer on of a night and in the morning i have no connection, not just once but all the time, during the day at anytime i get drop outs frequently and its really gets on my nerves resetting the poxy hub
    Any ideas?.....thanks
    Daf

    Hi, i ran the test and its asking me this
    Go to the start menu, click Settings, Control Panel and the Network Connections folder.
    Select the Connection that you use to connect to your ISP.
    Change the Username to: speedtest@speedtest_domain and blank the Password.
    Set this connection as your default and click Ok.
    Double click the connection and wait for the message "Connected".
    Once this has successfully Connected, click the button below:
    I havent got a clue what its on about and i tried, since i posted i have had to reboot the hub 3 times today, not good at all, since i came from a ISP that was better than what im getting and cheaper!
    I am on a wireless Belkin N
    Im sorry i cant do what the computer is asking as i dont know how, if you can bare with me and list in laymens turns i might be able to do it?
    Thanks for your time, shame BT cant come round and sort the mess out ...pigs may fly

  • My iPad will connect to the Internet but my iMac keeps dropping the connection or connects very slow.

    My iPad is working fine and connecting to the internet no problem. My iMac computer, when I check the system preferences and I go into network it says my network is working fine and I appear to be connected to the Internet, yet when I going try to go on safari it won't let me connect to the Internet or if it does the connection is slow. When I do manage to connect to the internet, the connection drops quickly. What do I do?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
    Are all network applications slow, or only some? If only some, which ones?
    Is networking always slow, or only sometimes?
    Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
    If you can connect to more than one network, are they all slow?
    If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
    Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference?

  • SmartView 11.1.2 keeps dropping the connection

    I have an SR on this but figured I would try here as well. I believe this has been thrown over to development. We have installed SmartView 11.1.2 and we can connect and retrieve data. We are on 2008 OS, 64 bit. About every 3 or 4 drills in excel SmartView loses the connection. To get around this we just hit refresh all or sometimes just try it again and it seems to re-connect. Anyone else have this issue?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Hi,
    I checked. Patch solves the problem. But you must install:
    - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766A6AF7-EC73-40FF-B072-9112BAB119C2&displaylang=en
    - then -> patch
    Open IIS console and uncheck the Virtual Memory Usage and the Private Memory Usage (On the Application Pools page, select the application pool used by HFM).
    Restart all Oracle Hyperion and IIS services.
    In our case, these steps helped.
    Best regards,

  • My iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error-51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

    I was in the middle of the iOS 8 update and tried to turn my phone off (yes, I realize this was dumb) But what happened was it tried to reset. Now,  my iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error -51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

    Try a Hard Reset.....
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds.  Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

  • Many of the apps in my newstand won't let me get past the "connect to iTunes" notification.  When i touch "OK" the same notice keeps coming back.  What do i do.

    many of the apps in my newstand won't let me get past the "connect to iTunes" notification.  When i touch "OK" the same notice keeps coming back.  What do i do.

    Settings>Store>Your Apple ID - tap the ID and then sign out.
    I only have one app in the Newsstand folder - the Sports Illustrated app. I have never gotten this message about connecting to iTunes so I'm not sure what that is all about. I would quit the Newsstand app and the other apps and the restart the iPad and see of that helps.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesnt work, reset the iPad. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    Why do I keep getting the message that iTunes is quitting working?  I have reinstalled iTunes and I have checked the wifi twice.  I have even put the internet access cable directly into the laptop.  The message says that windows will look for a solution but never offers any solution.

    Try disconnect your internet, then launch iTunes.
    Connect your device, then reconnect your internet.
