My ATV will no longer stream music

ATV will not stream from iTunes Radio or iTunes Match. It will stream other things like the History Channel, though. The display shows all of my music in Match, and all of my stations in iTunes Radio. It allows me to select artists and songs, but will only show the "wait" icon afterward. This icon will stay on indefinitely and I do not get an error message. I should note the when I select music and get the "wait" icon, the screen soon becomes much darker, but I'm still able to see the icon. Wifi is working because I can stream TV, and I'm signed in to my Apple account. I'm stumped.

Reboot ATV and router. Try signing out of your account and back in again.

My ATV will no longer stay connected to WiFi. Every time I want to use it I have to setup the WiFi from scratch!!!

My ATV will no longer stay connected to my home WiFi network. Every single time I want to use it I need to set up WiFi from scratch all over again. I'm considering dumping it as my Roku box has no issues. I'm an Apple loyalist though and want the ATV for playing my large music collection.
Any suggestions?

It's a 1G ATV, 160Gig.
The wireless is an Access Point w/WPA encryption and all DHCP is done by a remote wired router in a closet. Resetting each has had no effect on it. I don't see a setting anywhere on my ATV that I can change to turn off periodic standby mode.
I actually replaced an Airport Extreme w/ this D Link AP & it's worked great for every other device. I had the exact same issue with the Airport Extreme although it seems like after the latest ATV SW upgrade, it does it every day. Previously it would only do it occasionally.

HT4972 Has anyone had issues with failure of the music player to launch after updating to OS5? My Gen 3 will no longer play music!

Has anyone had issues with failure of the music player to launch after updating to OS5? My Gen 3 will no longer play music!

I think a few have.
Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Why can I no longer stream music on my ipad/iphone?

I own an IPhone 4s with 16GB of storage capacity and a recently purchased IPad mini 2 with 32gb of storage capacity. I am operating off of ITunes IOS 8.1.2 for my iPhone and 8.1.1 on my iPad,
As of last year I was able to import music into itunes, upload it to icloud, and then stream the song on the device without it physically (or at least permanently downloading to my phone). It would work when I was connected to the internet via wi-fi or using the data plan I have with my family plan. The first time I realized there was a problem was when I attempted to stream music after downloading IOS 8.0. As I was having other issues with my phone at the time (it not installing the IOS correctly, not recognizing songs being uploaded to the cloud, text messages not being sent to other apple users, it was low on my bucket list.) Eventually I did look into it and found that people often suggested that I ensure that I enable icloud on my phone, and in music settings I turn on 'Show all Music' and 'ITunes Match'. All of these were already selected and I saw no other solutions presented.
This problem has now extended over to my IPad and even though both are connected to a data plan and they can connect other programs that require the internet when not connected via wi-fi the songs are greyed out on the phone and simply do not play on the iPad. The symbol that allows me to download the music instead of stream it that shows up on the phone does not appear on my iPad which leaves me stuck with no way of listening to my music on my ipad if I am not connected via wi-fi.
Can someone please tell me if the streaming ability was changed to only work if the connection was through wi-fi and not through data usage? If not and there is something I have overlooked/been unable to find within other threads can someone please specify what I can do to get it to play the music?

Spelling and grammar corrections

Thanks guys, and yes, seems really weird. I hadnt merged contacts with iCloud (which is appearing to be far more trouble than its worth!) and I couldn't edit, add or delete contacts from my ipad, but as soon as I switched on this option in iCloud, they magically reappeared. I then turned it off again from mergeing with iCloud, and, for now at least, the option to edit remains!
Honestly, it really shouldn't be this difficult!
Thanks again.

I have a 2nd gen ipod touch. Recently I updated the OS from original second gen to the latest available which is software 4.2.1. Since doing this the ipod will no longer play music, videos, or stream online content. Any ideas how to fix it please?

I have tried restoring factory settings and loading the preferences I saved before updating the OS.
Neither of these methods have any effect.
The ipod also seemingly prevents you from restarting the ipod using the earlier OS software when resorting from recovery mode.
Any other ideas?
Cheers

- Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
- When restoring to factory defaults/new iPod fails to resolve a problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

BB will no longer play music through external headset or external speakers

Suddenly I found I was no longer able to play music through any external speaker or headset on my BB Torch. No one seems to be able to solve problem. BB Replaced but same problem. Complete factory reset solves problem but as soon as anything is restored, problem returns. Interestingly, if I make a call the headset works fine. If I play music, go to menu and try to 'activate headset' I get new window with headset and red dot on it. Coupled with this problem I notice if I go to 'set-up' and select 'email accounts' it will not open. I have had to activate all my accounts via my laptop. Anyone any ideas!

I have the same problem. Just started yesterday. I have owned two blackberry's and i'm beginning to think that they are a bet overrated.

After upgrading to iOS 7, my phone will no longer play music through my uconnect car audio, even after re-pairing... any ideas?

I have a 2012 jeep and my 4s was perfect for playing music from my phone. After upgrading to iOS 7, the uconnect no longer will play music thru the bluetooth... The phone works fine and I have re-paired the device to the uconnect, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas or settings that I can change on the phone? Uconnect basically says that it is, what it is.. they cant change the settings on the stereo.... HELP!

In my Sync vehicle, I had to "forget" the SYnc connection in the iPhone Bluetooth settings, then go into the car menu and delete the bluetooth device from the vehicle's system. Once I re-paired from scratch, it has been working fine. Give that a try. If not, try removing the connection from both sides again, then Reset Network Settings from the General Settings before re-pairing.

Hulu will no longer stream video although ads do stream.

as of 9/3 huluplus videos will play through the advertisements, but the actual video never plays, and eventually a message displays saying "we are unable to stream this video, please check your internet connection". The same thing happens when running firefox in safe mode. IE does NOT have this problem with the same PC/account.

My iPod touch will no longer play music or videos

I recently upgraded to ios 4. While a little slower, it was working OK.
Last night I bought a song from iTunes, normally I buy through my Mac, but I am not at home.
It stopped playing music. It is now slow, very very slow.
When I select the music icon, it takes a very long time to display the song list, it then becomes totally unresponsive, and finally goes back to the home screen.
Same behavior for video.
Any suggestions?

Managed to finally factory reset the unit (see my other post).
Should be OK now.

ITunes will no longer copy music to my iPod 80GB classic.

When I select a song and drag it from the library to the iPod, I no longer get the green cross in a circle. The only way to get music on to the iPod is to autofill it. Any ideas? I've done the normal restore, delete etc.

In sounds like you are trying to manually manage your iPod's contents. Have you double checked to make sure the Manually manage music and videos option is still ticked from under your iPod's Summary configuration tab in iTunes?

IPhone 4 will no longer sync music.

After I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6, none of my music will fully sync to the phone. The songs show up in my music folder and dropdown menu on the iPhone, but are all greyed out and I am unable to play them. I have tried syncing from both a windows computer and a mac, and have attempted everything I can think of in regards to permissions and such (which granted isn't much, but still). Any help?

You may need to do a Restart or Reset

IPod will no longer play music!!!

I have the 30 gigabyte black iPod color. Yesterday, it stopped playing music out of the earphone jack and through the hookup on the bottom. No music comes out at all! I really don't have any other information, I restored it today because I thought maybe I accidentally messed with the settings, but that did not solve the problem. Please help me, thanks in advance

I have the exact same iPod and the same exact problem. I bought mine in the summer of 2006 and it died about 2 weeks ago. I have never dropped it but I do play it in the car all the time. I leave it in the car in the summer so I wonder if the heat go to it.
The screen still works, it will still sync with my pc (itunes) and it still "clicks" when I scroll through menu options. I paid something like $350 for it 2 years ago and I am really upset that it looks like I have to go and spend another $250 for a new one. I reset it as well with no luck.
I wish it had a diagnostic utility of some sort.

My iPhone 4 will no longer play music in my car. I need help.

For over two years, my iphone has played music when hooked up to the ipod connector in hmy car. When I plug it in, the "charging not supported..." box still pops up but no music plays. My sister's phone will play in my car, so it is not a problem with anything in my car. And when I tried to play my phone in her car, it would charge, but again, no music would play. The problem has to be with my phone, but I haven't done anything different with it. Any ideas or suggestions to fix this?

Standard steps from the manual are to restart, reset, restore. which of those have you done?

Third Generation iPod will no longer update music

After updating to iTunes 7 and finding that this meant i could no longer connect my ipod i found instructions on how to downgrade back to iTunes 6. many people who were experiencing the same problems found that this worked however it has not done so for me. although iTunes recognises my iPod, when i try to put my music onto it, it regularly freezes and wipes my ipod. i have even tried downloading my music album by album and it doesnt seem to matter how few songs i attempt to put on at any one time it still freezes. any suggestions as to how to fix this?

The Computer did recognise it and said it had malfunctioned, it is still saying that now. iTunes 7 did recognise that an ipod was connected but said to restore it to factory settings, however when i clicked ok it wood disconnect my ipod from iTunes.
