My ATV plays music very slow (AirPlay)

My Apple TV 2 plays music very slow. I streamed my music from my iPad to my Apple TV using AirPlay. My music was deeper and slower than normal and some beats were missing.
I need help 8-/

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Possibly network issues, but I'd begin by restarting all your equipment including the router and trying again.

Playing music VERY slow after 3.0 upgrade

I have a 32GB ipod touch bought in Feb 2008 (does that make it 2G?). If I listen to my songs in 'shuffle' mode, or with a large playlist, the ipod is extremely slow and unresponsive. After pressing the 'shuffle' button I have to wait about 10-15 seconds before a song starts playing. The touch controls also become very sluggish when playing songs. If I press the 'next' button there's often a 15 second delay before the screen updates and the artwork changes. During this time the controls on the ipod are also frozen which makes it impossible to skip through songs on shuffle mode.
Any idea what's happening or what I can do to fix this?
I'd rather lose half of the new features and just have my ipod play songs properly!

i am also having this problem. if i synch my first generation ipod touch and then try to play music, it says "Updating Library ... this may take a few minutes". then, if i try to play playlists with lots of songs (1000+) the controls are very sluggish, taking 5 - 15 seconds before allowing me to skip to the next song. but, it seems to "fix" itself after a minute or two. i wonder if it is indexing something in the background that it making it run slow? maybe related to the new spotlight feature? i have restored alredy. any advice?

HT5517 Can my Apple TV 3 play music through an AirPlay speaker while I mirror my iPhone to the Apple TV?

Can my Apple TV 3 play music through an AirPlay speaker while I mirror my iPhone to the Apple TV?

bluetooth only support bluetooth keyboards on the appletv
Wireless
Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n)
Bluetooth support for Apple Wireless Keyboard (requires Apple TV software version 5.2 or later)
http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs/
if you can find a device which take in optical audio from the Apple TV and make it bluetooth to the bluetooth speaker then suppose it would work
but since it would need to be configured it would need controls or a webserver like a router has so very expensive

ITunes will not play music videos through airplay

This is a specific user account issue. If I create a new account I do not have this issue. That being said I really want to solve this for my existing user login.
Music Videos (and tagged as such) play in iTunes fine.
If I select my AppleTV (which is listed as an airplay device). It completely ignores the selection and continues to play on my Mac. I am unable to play Music Videos over airplay.
When playing music I am able to select any airplay device and it works fine.
When playing movies I am able to select any airplay video device and it works fine.
If I change the Music Video tag to Movies it plays fine
If I change it to Home Videos it plays fine.
If I try to launch iTunes in safe mode it fails to play at all because of the lack of Quicktime support.
Obviously it's something in my ~/Library that is messing it up somehow.
The only plugin I have is AudioScrobbler.bundle and removing launching iTunes does not solve it.
I've tried recreating all of my iTunes preference files and that doesn't solve the issue.
It's maddening!
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

I have narrowed it down to the ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iTunes.(incredibly long hash).
Removing this file causes a new one to be regenerated and that solved nothing.
Removing the ~/Library/iTunes directory and the ByHost preferences file and rebooting did work temporarily.
There was only one plugin (AudioScrobbler.bundle) in the iTunes directory.
I was able to play a music video and select the AppleTV and then broadcast to it. This lasted last then a few hours and now it's back to the way it was before. Select the AppleTV is silently ignored.
Highly frustrating. I have a broke and fixed version of the com.apple.iTunes ByHOST preference file but doing a diff of the two is useless as most of the xml entries are long strings of hash values. No human discernable difference between the working and not working files. At this point I defintely want to file a bug report.

Satellite 1800 plays DVDs very slow

My Satellite S1800 is very slow, when trying to watch dvd movies, picture and voice stucks and when watching videos from youtube, its same thing.
I just formatted my hard drive and re-installed winxp and thought that would help , but no , its still same thing.
What is the problem? My toshibas specs: 1Ghz , 256 ram , 8mb trident cyberblade ai1, 20gb, i think those should roll some dvd movie?

First, I wanted to answer with a detailed reasons of this, but this forum did NOT allowed me to post my "polite and helpful" message due to spelling mistakes even there wasn't any. Then it allowed me to post without spelling checking. (did not understand, weird)
The answer of your problem is because of excessive cpu usage which i had on my similar S1800-100 while watching any MPEG-2 video or youtube video.
I don't know why the DVD drive was insertings into this notebook, maybe for data transfer or other viewing, the fact that your CPU is not strong enough to render DVD movies, it should be the reason.
Please check your CPU usage while watching videos.

TS2509 play back very slow

Im using motion 4 and it's playing very slow

There are many reasons (too many to list) why Motion will run slow since it is not and never has been about *playing* video. It is about creating effects and titles FOR video. I've created projects where Motion will only get < 1 frame per second on playback (that usually means I have to *simplify* the project considerably...) The only way you can guarantee a smooth up-to-speed playback is to Export your project to video and play the video in a player like Quicktime Player. However, IF you have the RAM for it, Motion 4 will render as much of the timeline it can fit in the available RAM it has to playback with RAM Preview (command - R), usually, at full speed for as much as it can render. Motion 5 does not do as good a job at that.
Lights are notorious for slowing Motion down, especially if you have shadows turned on (Spot and Point lights.) If you have reflections turned on; if you have emitters with high birth rates; if you have a lot of layers in 3D space; if Motion Blur is enabled; and the list goes on and on... You can temporarily turn off Lighting, Reflections, Shadows, and Depth of Field from the Render menu, which should help speed things up a little bit. You can turn off extra layers (isolate the view to a few specific objects at a time) to speed things up a little bit. But mostly, you're just going to have to get used to Motion slowing down as you progress through a project.

Importing music very slow 0.5x and iTunes freezes during every backup

Everytime I plug my iPod into my computer it freezes and I need to end app also while importing new CDs they are taking about 2-3hrs and it's only transferring at 0.5x. My pc is a windows xp sp3 2.68GHz 760 RAM

I have had some help and have tried many things to resolve this. Bottom line, it was the CD reader. I tried to load the same "slow loading" CD into someone else's computer and it went in faster than I've ever seen (9.5X - 13X). I borrowed his CD reader and put in in my machine and it worked fine for the 5 CD of the 100 I had left to load because they loaded so slow. This time, there was one of these 5 that read in at 1.1X. Again, I borrowed a different CD reader, put it in my machine, and it read fine. This problem was NOT program/system related: I tried cleaning files, running Adware, Antivirus, defrag, etc.) I read/burn lots of CDs and must wear them out in my laptop.

Wav files play at very slow speeds.

Real newbie stuff here, and I'm away from my manual...and wouldn't know where to look anyway.
So: I dragged a file I made with my Zoom H4 into Logic express, go to play it, and the voices sound like they are at 1/4 speed. How do I changes this?
Thanks

Is the file recorded at the same sample rate at your Logic project? (Usually 44,1 Khz)

Rental play back very slow

I am having major delay on on my apple TV, netflix works perfect and the speed on my wireless router is up to speed. Movie rental are taking over an hour to play. Any advise

The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

Why do my ATV's play music sourced from a computer OK but when the same computer plays the same library through Airplay to the same ATV's the streaming breaks down?

Does anyone know why my ATV's (connected to AV & hifi systems) can play music from a computer OK but when I try to use the same computer and library and play them through the same ATV's using Airplay the streaming often breaks down? Although I could live with the current situation I am missing the opportunity for simultaneous multi-zone playing with single volume control via the Remote App on my iPhoneS. Just find it curious as all the elements of the system are the same, ATV's, computer, router etc and would have expected the quality and efficiency to be the same under both modes of operation.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes, the quality and efficiency of the audio should be the same for both methods. The fact that it isn't may suggest that you have a problem on your network. Have you checked for interference.

My Atv2 is very slow movies and shows take forever to load it plays for a few minutes then pauses again. I thought if was a problem with my wireless router but I replaced it with a new airport extreme and the problem persists. Air play is just as slow.

My Atv2 is very slow with both AirPlay and rented and purchased content I spoke to apple rep and tried the things he suggested but the problem persists. Now it requires more lead time then the lenght of material being viewed. I haves broadband internet connection and airport extreme router so I don't think this should be a problem. Lately every time the unit goes to the screen saver an error message come up saying there was an error while loading content please try again later and you have to all over again. It is extremely frustrating. Any suggestions? What speed of transfer should I expect using AirPlay ?

I'm having the same issue. Ay fixes? Bought ATV today, music streams but videos don't and mirroring doesn't work either. Start mirror and severe lag then just drops. Been trying for couple hours. About ready to return it.

When playing games on the ipad I have no sound and it it very slow.

when playing games downloaded from the app store I have no sound and the games arte very slow?

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

After iOS5 on 3 gs, lost all apps, music, phone became very slow

Installed last nigh iOS 5.0.1 on my 3 gs. Was always very happy with my phone, now only upsetting things - phone became unnormal slow, lost my music and all apps are gone (and I don't remember all names of them). The worst part - Pandora radio doesn't play music anymore when I'm using Safari like it used to and music plays through the headphones only, when I tried to play music through the speakers it says no volume available and I can't hear anything. What happened? Is it there way I can back my phone to a normal life? Its a very important gadget in my life (I don't know the city very well, so I'm using maps a lot) and I used Skype a lot so I can contact my family, now even Skype freeze and I can't use it normally. Also my computer can't 'see' a phone anymore and I can't download pictures and now worry that I can lost even them.
I greatly appreciate your help!
Have a great day!
