Network drop out with Apple TV2

OK, so let me describe the situation and symptoms that I am currently experiencing....
Recently I just purchased a MacBook PRO and so with that wanted all the accessories etc. etc. Just a couple of days ago purchased an ATV2. It sets up on the network fine, can see my computer and library all fine. I can stream from YouTube on the ATV2 and also watch trailers etc. However, when I goto my library and select something like a song or a movie, it loads... brings up the next screen, which is like the now playing screen, then goes back to the main menu page detailing that the ATV2 is not connected to any network... happens every time, I have not been able to listen to or watch one single thing. Really got me stumped.... would love some suggestions....
MacBook PRO - 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 - 4GB RAM, 1333 MHz DDR3 (MAC OS X - 10.6.7)
Apple TV V.2 - OS 4.0
Router is a D-Link - DI-524 - Air Plus G - 802.11G - 2.4GHz Wireless Router

I'm going to update the ATV 2's OS from 4.0 and go from there..... after reading a few different threads in the support forum, it seems not to be a router or network issue.... would still love to know and here any insight from people that have experienced this problem and what they did to get through... thanks

Re: Home Sharing drop out with Apple TV2

I, too, am having a similar problem, but it seems to be slightly different from what most people here are experiencing. When I go to watch purchased content, my computer shows up but my it registers nothing in my library. Then, on my mac, I turn +Home Sharing+ off and then on again and everything shows up again for a while. However about five to ten minutes into watching the show, it stops and everything seems to have disappeared from the library again. Stop+start +Home Sharing+ again and it comes back.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
I'm running iTunes 10.2.1, OS X 10.6.7 and the latest iOS on the ATV. My wireless network (which everything is on) is managed by an Airport Extreme.

Had the same issue this AM trying to stream tunes from iMac to TV2... dropped the connection about 3 songs in and kept skipping to the next song, would play it for about 45 seconds then skip to the next song. Very weird, but in searching the forum, I found a guy that said if you turn off the screen saver (set it to NEVER) and the sleep option (again, set it to NEVER) then all should be fine. So far so good... playing thru and has been for the past hour. Until an update comes out, this is the best fix for me...

IPhoto with Apple TV2 on HDTV?

IPHOTO is organized but can it be seen in the same organized way with Apple TV2-HDMI to HDTV?

Just open up iTunes on the mac with the photos you'd like to see on ATV2. Click on the "Advanced" menu, then on "Choose Photos to Share...". From there you will be taken to a menu where you can select which albums you'd like to appear on ATV2.

HT204406 When I activate iTunes Match it goes through the process of analysing my library, then it matches a few songs but always then stops stating that the network dropped out - any ideas?

Well, you don't have to write down anything. Just click on the message and copy it. Then paste it here, or in a text editor (eg, TextEdit). And you can enter a string like "Audio CD" (w/o the quote marks) in the filter and see only messages containing it.
mds[71]: (Error) Server: Failed to register path "/Volumes/Audio CD"
That's the metadata server, used by Spotlight. AFAIK, Spotlight does not index audio CDs, so what is this about? I don't know. Maybe it's the cause of what you observe; or maybe it's another symptom. Thinking again of the network issue… have you maybe installed some third-party software related to both Spotlight and the network (Searchlight perhaps)?

S20 Lan Network drops out after Windows 10 upgrade

Upgrade went ok and everything seems to work ok, but the network drops out after some downloads. Adapter gets disabled and cannot be enabled unless i perform a reboot. The network adapter is a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet. Installed the latest Lenovo System Update but that did not find any new drivers.

The network speed went down from approx 50 Mbps to 1.8 Mbps after the upgrade! So it is surely a network driver problem.

BT HomeHub wifi network dropping connection with my apple products

I have a BT Home Hub connected to the internet and use it to provide my home wi-fi network. To this I have connected iMac, Time capsule (by having it join existing network), airport express, apple Tv and cannon wireless printer)
Time machine backyps to timecapsule via wifi. However None of my devices seem to remain connected to the wifi for very long. If I open airport utility it states time capsule and airport express no longer connected to the network and only offer the option of forgetting device even though green light remains on time capsule and airport express. If I go into Home Hub settings via ip address on safari, it is showing that both are connected.
With regard to my apple TV that doesn't seem to be able to share the content on my iMac because of home sharing connectivity issues.
Finally my iMac seems unable to connect to my wifi printer over the network even thoough all seem to be connected to homeHub appropriately.
Can anyone help out with this?

This setup is the worst possible.
You will always have issues with the TC .. it will be slow and unreliable because that is the nature of double hop wireless.
You MUST plug the TC into the HH by ethernet or using something like EOP adapters so the TC can work properly in bridge mode and create a wireless network.

After Effects CS4 and NFS Network Drop-Outs

Hi all,
We're experiencing a high number of NFS drop-outs ever since we've upgraded our department to AE CS4. I'm not saying CS4 is the culprit, I'm just saying this is when we started noticing the issue.
13 Apple MacPro 8-core systems. 12 Leopard, 1 Snow Leopard.
Projects are located on an Apple XServe 2.26 Quad-Core Xeon with 12GB RAM running 10.5.8 Server
Projects are shared up via NFS protocol via gigabit network.
Basically throughout the day, a random number of peole will lose connection to the NFS share, to which it returns on its own in a few moments. Though it's not everyone each time, all users encounter the issue at least once-a-day, usually more. (We have to different servers with NFS shares, one does not drop, the other does) The server that drops the share is the newer XServe Leopard and is the primary server where all the footage and projects are located. The 2nd server is just secondary library media and stock footage...
Essentially, I'm curious if anyone else is having NFS issues since the update to CS4. I'm just trying to weed out all elements. It's hard to say if it's the server itself, as the logs only note a drop once-in-a-while... We also use Rush Rendering for our Maya renders, which we have just upgraded to the latest version and we get drops even when no one is using Rush or Maya...
Very strange but extremely frustrating issue. It's not fun when someone is working on a project and loses it because the share drops out.
Any input greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks!

Session timeouts.... I really do think it's the server. AE doesn't care for specific network stuff, it's all just volumes/ drives to the program. To avoid these issues, you would have to shorten the refresh cycles on your server availability broadcasts or the "keep alive" cycles on the connection/ session settings themselves. I'd know how to do it on Win Server, but I have no clue with regards to XServe configuration. Still, certainly some simple console commands and a restart of the server software should be able to take care of the matter.

What needs to be done to avoid WIFI drop-offs with Apple AirPort Extreme Base station with Extended Wifi

Hi there,
can anybody please advise me what needs to be done to avoid WIFI drop-offs every half an hour or 1 hours.
I use voip phoe calls a lot using my WIFI, However my AirPort WIFI connection drops-off while I am in the middle of WIFI VOIP calls. This is causing significant disturbance in my family.
Please assist.
In details, I have extended my WIFI range using 2 Apple Airport Extreme Base Station.
Main Base is - A1408 9 (5th Gen), and I have extended my WIFI in my L shape house by connecting another Apple AiPort A1354 ( 4th Gen) with AA1408.
Note1:
> when I am close to A1408 my iPhone4 connected with A1408 automatically
> When I am close ot A1354 , my iPhone4 connected with A1354 automatically.
Note2: these drop-offs never occurred when I had only 1 Apple AirPort Extreme Base station WIFI
I think, this Auto switching causing the slight drop outs in my Wifi when I am on the VOIP call.
Do you think that something is going wrong with my Apple AirPort Wifi extended?
Much appreciated

To help eliminate drop-offs you need to ensure that your extended network is operating at its peak bandwidth performance. Base station placement is critical in an extended network. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details.

Drop-outs with Airport streaming iTunes

hello all and merry Christmas
I am streaming music to two Airport Express from a hard drive mounted to an Airport Extreme base station. I have the latest versions of firmware and iTunes. iTunes will randomly drop-out and it's driving me batty.
I know it's not a network related issue (ie .... interference from other networks or phones) as I can stream the Expresses using Airfoil without drop outs. The problem only occurs with iTunes 8 as it didn't occur in version 7. I've searched for comments and read as many threads on these boards as I could find but haven't found the solution.
I have based my entire music system on the basis of streaming as described above.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
Warren

I have recently installed 2 airport expresses, and use them with a wire router from Thomson (SpeedTouch). I have had a number of these drop-out problems, and discovered that there is a lot that can cause network interference. After checking a number of things these problems have now been significantly reduced:
1. Make sure that multicasting is on on the wireless router. Since I don't have an Apple Airport base station, I needed to find the setting for this in my SpeedTouch setup, which was off by default.
2. Set the network to operate on a channel not used by any nearby networks. I live in an apartment building where nearly everyone has a wireless network. Using the iStumbler app I could determine which channels other networks were using, and pick one that wasn't in use.
Of course, interference can also be caused by nearby power transformers, phones, etc. In my case my microwave cuts out my Airport Express, but that I can live with.
To test the reliability of the streaming to Airport Expresses, try the following:
1. Find the Airport Express IP number in the Airport Utility
2. Open up Terminal
3. Type "ping <ip-address>"
4. Let it run for a nice long time, then type cntl-C
5. You will now see in the text in the terminal screen the % of data lost. If this is high then you need to continue troubleshooting your network.
Hope this helps somebody .. I have a frustrating time figuring it out for myself.

O2 network dropping out

Is anyone else having problems with the o2 network dropping off regularly from their i-phone? I have spoken to o2 and they say i have to send the phone back to apple!
Someone has just told me that you can download a repair??? Does anyone know anything about it? Help I'm due to leave the country next week and dont have time to send my phone away and get it back before I leave.

tb64,
You can try updating to iPhone firmware 1.1.4 to see if it helps resolve your issue if you haven't already.
Connect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes and click "Check for Update".
Hope this helps,

Itunes jams with Apple TV2

Hello, ever since I updated itunes to newest version it keeps jamming.
I would start my apple tv2 and click movie library, music, or whatever to join home sharing and apple tv2 would just sit there loading, I would have to come back to the computer and click on itunes and have to force quit it and restart itunes, this would go on for a few attempts and finally will work, but very frustrating.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Is there a way to fix this?
Or just wait for apple to come out with a fix?
I left windows because of problems like these, things just not working, hope apple isn't going in this direction.
Everything worked fine till I upgrade itunes about a month ago or so.
thanks
I put this in Apple Tv2 forum as well because not sure if it is itunes or Apple Tv2

It should remember the credentials.
Have you unpowered and restarted the device?
May also be worth resetting the AppleTV settings and configuring from scratch.

Performance issues home sharing with Apple TV2 from Mountain Lion Server

I have a Mac Mini which I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion Server from Snow Leopard Server.
I have noticed that the performance of Streaming a film using Home Sharing to an Apple TV2 has degraded compared to the Snow Leopard setup. In fact the film halts a number of times during play back which is not ideal.
I have tested the network between the 2 devices and cannot find a fault.
Has anyone come across this problem before.
Are there any diagnostic tools I can use to measure the home sharing streaming service to the AppleTV2 device.
Any help much appreciated

Well, I tried a few other things and one worked but again just the first time I tried connecting to the desktop PC with iTunes. I flashed my router with the latest update and the ATV2 could see the iTunes library and I was able to play media. Later in the day I was going to show off to my daughter that I had fixed it and, to my dismay, no go. I tried opening the suggested ports but no luck.
I then tried loading iTunes on a Win7 laptop and it works perfectly with the ATV2. Both the laptop and the ATV2 are connected to the router wirelessly while the Desktop is connected to the router by Ethernet. Not sure if this is part of the issue as it sounds like this didn't work for others. The only other difference between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has Win7 SP1 loaded while the laptop does not; now I'm scarred to load it though I don't think that's the issue. All in all, a very vexing situation. Hopefully Apple comes up with a solution soon.

Best Xtreme Config to avoid drop-outs with multiple gadgets?

Hello, I've purchased a brand new Xtreme to work with a Thomson SpeedTouch ADSL modem, 2 MacBooks (2yrs old), 2 iphones, ipod touch, 2xWiFi Radios and 4x Digital Phone handsets. The intention is to avoid IP lock-outs and signal drop-outs - does anyone have the best configuration to achieve this? I've set it up and it appears to be working as I'm not suffering lock-outs ("!" over the WiFi signal) but it still drops-out? Thanks in advance.
