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.

  • HT1153 I've just put new batteries into my wireless mouse for my iMac and now it'll barely stay connected to my computer. It'll just keep disconnecting then reconnecting for a few minutes then disconnect again. Anyone have any ideas?

    I've just recently put in brand new batteries into my wireless Bluetooth mouse for iMac and it continuously disconnects itself and will then reconnect itself for only a few minutes, just to disconnect again. It's become impossible to use my computer as my mouse smoky won't connect itself for long enough to do anything. Anyone had this problem before and could help me out?

    HI:
    It does not sound like a battery problem.
    Try a couple of things:
    1.          Reset the SMC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    2.          Reset (if you can) the PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    If that does not help, delete the mouse in system preferences, turn it off, restart, and turn the mouse back on.

    P.S.  I only needed it once, but I have an old USB mouse in case my Bluetooth one decides to quit. 

  • Just bought a brand new Airport Extreme and having trouble with it being recognized. I have a Mac version 10.5.8. Is my computer compatible?  I have the Airport Express now and it works fine.

    Just bought a brand new airport extreme and having trouble with it being recognized.  My mac is version 10.5.8.  What should I do?

    The new AirPort Extreme needs the 6.x version of AirPort Utility, which comes packed in with Lion 10.7.5 or Mountain Lion 10.8.x......or......you can also configure the device using an iPhone or iPad running a recent iOS.
    From Apple's Specifications:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    A few options.....
    Borrow another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion for 10-15 minutes and set it up. The Mac running 10.5.8 will be able to connect to the wireless....but it will not be able to make any changes to the configuration of the Extreme.
    Update to Lion or Mountain Lion.....but check first to make sure that your Mac will support the operating system first.
    Use....or borrow an iPhone or iPad to set up the Extreme

  • I have a new Airport Extreme and an old airport express.  I am getting an amber light on the new Extreme and a green light on the Express.   I have internet no problem but the status light is blinking amber

    I have a new Airport Extreme and and old airport express.  I am getting an amber status light on the Extreme and a green light on the Express.  The Extreme is blinking amber all the time.
    I have internet and everything seems to be working.
    I have reset and pulled the power cord on both the extreme and the internet block
    How do I make it Green?

    If things seem to be working OK, but the amber light is flashing......the AirPort Extreme has a message for you. To see what that might be......
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme icon
    Click on the amber dot in the small window
    It might be a message that a firmware update is available for your AirPort Extreme.

  • How do I restrict wireless network access to specific devices/computers, using an Airport Extreme, when the WPA2 password is able to be found by other devices?

    I have set up a wireless network in my office using a couple of Airport Extremes, and, for some reason, our Windows computers are able to view the password of the network. Well, given that we employ teenagers, you can imagine what happens when they all find out the password. We want to restrict network access to only those devices we deem necessary. How do I accomplish this?

    We need 18-20 devices to access, all wirelessly.
    You can keep using your Apple routers as AP devices.. but get a router running a secure OS as the actual router that controls the network..
    If you have 18-20 teens on the network.. then setting quota and restrictions on bandwidth is far more important than time..
    Gargoyle on a cheap router can do it.. eg WNDR3800 or the newer W1024ND v2.
    Simply turn off the wireless in these devices.. and use the ethernet connection to the airport as WAP.
    Honestly you just will never get the security or control using apple domestic routers.

  • Calendar and reminders take forever to load with ios5

    Since I upgraded my iPhone 4 to ios 5, my calendar and reminders take forever to load. Sometimes they crash rather than load. Any suggestions? This is extremely frustrating. By the time they load, I forget what I was going to write. Even once they open and I start entering data, they usually stall or crash during the time I am entering information (e.g. setting alerts), so it takes a very long time to enter each appointment or reminder. Help please!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.      
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. You likely have a bad battery.

  • Trouble with Safari 6.0.5. Works for a few minutes then locks up in all tabs (wheel spinning). Chrome

    Trouble with Safari 6.0.5. Works for a few minutes then locks up in all tabs (wheel spinning). Chrome & Firefox work fine. Using OSX 10.8.4. Wonder if I downloaded plugin causing this? Please help.

    Yes, a plugin or an extension either one...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
    If it's not a plug-in issue, select the Extensions tab. If there are any extensions installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.  If that made a difference, uninstall one at a time, quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the culprit.  

  • I have downloaded The Final by Wham (Deluxe edition) and most of the Videos only Play for about 2 minutes then freeze

    Is there anywhere in itunes where you can re-download?
    Thanks in advance

    It's probably the new 'taste filter' trying to keep you from emberrasing yourself in public. Try playing them when you're alone. If it detects no one else is in the room, it may allow you to view them. 
    Seriously... Do they play in iTunes on your computer? If they're in your iTunes library, un-sync them from the phone, then sync them back.

  • Installed my new Airport extreme and try to link it to airport express  but the wifi still very slow

    I installed my new Airport extreme today and try to link it to my airport express to expend my wifi coverage to my second floor  but the wifi si very slow on second florr not better then without express? what can I do??

    Hi Francois
    Any wired connection or WiFi network extension (using your AirPort Express) with your second floor will make your network signal stronger but not necessarly faster.  If your WiFi signal is so poor that internet connection keeps dropping, it will make a speed difference.  Otherwise the only difference you'll notice is that the range of the wireless network has increased.
    You say "wifi is very slow on the second floor".  Do you mean that the internet is slow?  Is it very fast on the first floor?
    Try checking your internet connection speed on a laptop on each floor:
    speedtest.net
    and press "begin test recommended server".
    The download speed should approximate your ISP contracted speed.  Upload speed will be a fraction of this.  Wifi will be slower but unless you have a super-fast internet connection, you probably shouldn't notice it.

  • Setup Problems with New AirPort Extreme and Dell Desktop XP with ethernet

    I have a Dell desktop computer at home with a cisco cable modem connected to Comcast. I am trying to setup a new wireless network using new AirPort extreme so that new iPad can use wireless.
    Connections seem to work but when running the AirPort Utility, it doesn't find my base station. The Dell doesn't have wireless. Does the Airport Utility only work via wireless? Or can it work across the ethernet connection?
    I'd appreciate anyone's help.
    Thanks.

    Hello VL Crew. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Does the Airport Utility only work via wireless?
    No, the AirPort Utility will work whether your computer is connected to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by wire or wireless.

  • Can I add a WiFi printer through WPS with the new AirPort Extreme and AirPort Utility 6.3?

    It says here that AirPort Utility 6.2 supports WPS-capable WiFi printers, but on the new AirPort Extreme techs pecs Apple insists that the way printing is shared is by connecting the printer to the AirPort Extreme with a USB cable, which really defeats the whole purpose of WiFi printing doesn't it?
    Does the new Airport Extreme support WPS-capable printing? Does AirPort Utility 6.3 support it?

    Does the new Airport Extreme support WPS-capable printing?
    Yes
    Does AirPort Utility 6.3 support it?
    Yes

  • New Airport Extreme and iPhone Issues

    I've had the networking day from ****. I previously had a 3rd Gen Time Capsule at our restaurant, connected to a Cisco 26port gigabit POE switch and Comcast digital voice and internet. Over the past few days, employees have reported trouble accessing the the Wifi network. After several restarts and firmware upgrades (including the dreaded "firmware problem" to fine update), nothing worked. I changed channels, back to auto, back to specific channels, back to auto. Made open guest networks. Nothing worked consistently. My iPhone might connect and my friend's might not. Nor his laptop consistently. Our Axis network cameras might take a bit extra time to connect. All quite random and quite frustrating.
    So I swap out an older Airport Extreme (4th gen I believe) using the same configuration as the TC (Time Capsule). It works fine, except for the last port not working as expected. No matter, I plug the mac mini into the Cisco switch and off we go. Nevertheless, I'm still told we are suffering random Wifi issues. So I buy a brand new AE (5th gen) today to replace that one. Should work like a charm I thought. Right....    
    Several hours later, I finally have the new AE working, but only after doing several hard resets/factory restores, the works. For some reason, the mac mini could not successfully update any of the connected AEs - whether connected directly into the same AE, or if the Mini was connected to the switch. Nothing worked. Every time I tried to update the AE, it would hang and force me to unplug and plug it back in. It would also never save setting changes. I finally resorted to a friend's macbook to be able to restore it successfully. And once that worked, the mini was able to update the AE flawlessly. Our Point of Sales (POS) machines connect fine, our cameras connect fine, wifi printer connects, and the mini connects, and everything has internet.
    Except my iPhone 5. Of course. It gets a signal fine (full bars). It gets an IP address. But I can't surf the web. Or download email. Or iMessages. Anything. No internet access. I try hard restarts on my iphone. I try assigning IP addresses by MAC address. I try resetting the AE. I try renaming the WiFi name. Nothing. I can make a guest network that works (on a different IP table, btw - 172, not 192.) But other than that, no access. Grrrr.
    So I have a "working" AE router where some devices successfully connect (through wifi and ethernet) and some dont' (wifi iPhone). My iPhone connects fine to my home TC. So shouldn't be anything to do with that. But I'm at a loss. I'm going to go back and restore everything and power cycle everything tonight or tomorrow night. I don't know if that will help, but it's worth a try. Lord knows it feels like I've tried everything else.
    Anyone have any good ideas of where to start besides voodoo dolls and baseball bats?

    I took mine back, because I was having these very same issues. We use contivity too. I was able to connect only to one of three of the servers we manage (in Europe). I couldn't connect to the servers in Asia or here in the USA.
    Replaced the Airport Extreme with my trusty old d-link 624, and no issues connecting to any of the three hubs.
    Otherwise, I liked the Airport Extreme, and I'll consider buying it again when and if they address this VPN issue. I work at home so its obviously a "deal breaker" for me.

  • I bought a new airport extreme and on the first day, it worked well but the apple tv is lagging behind

    When I got this and hooked it up. it was so easy to connect it to the puter and all but apple tv is lagging behind, so slow and had to wait to catch up to be able to watch movie(s) What can I do about it? ( the previous airport extreme had no problem with the apple tv, never lags behind.
    H.E.L.P.

    Dear LaPastenague,
    many thanks for your ultra response...I have revisited my earlier  thoughtsi / question...I possibly may have not mentioned, the whole intention was to add another device which is in my kitchen and cabling to it could prove time consuming....
    Just came back from Maplins with a NetGear universal wireless adaptor for my Win XP machine which will be located in the kitchen.
    I was balancing future swap arounds with the AE if my TC [ 2nd Gen] decides to pack up on me.
    Good evening
    Regards
