No longer able to stream content

Since Snow Leopard and/or iTunes 9 I seem to have lost the ability to stream TV through my Apple TV. Syncing still works, and synced content plays fine, but if I try and stream a TV show, then the scrubber briefly appears, fails to advance at all, and then just disappears, leaving the screen to go blank.
I've done all the stuff I'm meant to do I think - factory restored the Apple TV, reinstalled iTunes, etc etc. I cannot believe how much extra care and attention this product seems to require...

Yes, I know nothing's changed in your router's setup. But you've tried everything else, right?
The router's firewall must allow communication to the appropriate ports on the Apple TV. I had lots of problems with a new ATV; once I added UDP 5353 in the router for the Apple TV (for which I have assigned an IP rather than have it dynamically assigned), the problems have completely vanished.

No Longer Able to stream content to Xbox 360

I have just installed Lion and can no longer stream media to my Xbox 360 using Rivet. I had no problems streaming them before, and am still able to stream the media on my 2TB NAS drive but it says the format is not supported on my Xbox when I try to play media on my MBP (with Lion). All of the files are regular .avi files, and play fine on my machine. Anybody else having issues streaming to xbox 360 since upgrading to Lion?
Thanks

It happened the same to me using Rivet and streaming (from my iMac) to my TV directly (has Wifi).
In Rivet webpage says that Rivet is no longer supported by them (so I supose that there is no update for Lion). Nevertheless, I have tried with other media servers (like Serviio or Majestic) and doesn't work either...
Anybody know if there is going to be a patch or a solution?
Thanks a lot, greeting from Spain :-)

Since upgrading to 7.0.3 (iPhone 5 64gb, with iTunes Match enabled) all of my music wiped off my phone. Downloading it again, most of the artwork has been mixed up with other artists, and I'm no longer able to stream or download over 3G? Any ideas?

Since upgrading to 7.0.3 (iPhone 5, 64gb, with iTunes Match enabled) almost all of my music has vanished from my phone (weirdly some hasn't).
Downloading it again, most of the artwork has been mixed up with other artists, and I'm no longer able to stream or download over 3G (all tracks greyed out), though my network settings etc are all set correctly.
Lastly since upgrading to iOS 7.0.1 (and beyond) Genuis has become effectively useless: it continually asks me to connect to wi-fi, and if I do it creates playlists mostly composed of tracks by the same artists or those very obviously linked to them- previously it created brilliant, nuanced playlists.
Are these things connected, and how do I fix them?

I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
Just about time to dump apple I think!

Home Sharing - no longer able to stream videos to iPads

I have an iMac running latest update to Snow Leopard ( 10.6.7 ), latest version of iTunes ( 10.2.2 ), an iPad 2 running 4.3.3, an iPad 1 running 4.3.2, and an Apple TV 2. Home Sharing is enabled for all of the devices.
I have no issues whatsoever with the ATV2 - works like a champ when streaming anything from the iMac.
However, I can no longer stream movies to either of the iPads and unfortunately am not sure when it stopped working. I am able to stream music through the iPod app without a problem though.
I launch the videos app, select Shared, selected my imac library, and browse the movies. I have noticed that some of the titles don't match the movie and when I select a movie to play, I just get a never-ending spinning wheel. This behavior occurs on both ipads.
Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated as it is a bit annoying!
tia,
Bill

After more investigation, I found the issue.
I was able to stream ripped movies, but not movies that were purchased through iTunes. This led me to believe the issue was with DRM and authentication. So even though my Home Sharing credentials appeared to be okay on the iPads, re-entering the password on both fixed the problem!

Atv 1 no longer able to stream or copy over movies

Hi
I have the original atv which since installing lion seems to no longer be able to stream movies without them stopping about every minute, or be able to copy the movie over from itunes, for example it has been copying a movie over from itunes all day and its still not done.
Anyone having the same issue
Does anyone have an answer.
I have all system up to date with latest itunes
Funnily enough I can watch the movies stream to my iphone from my mac with no issues,
I have changed channels on the router and have a reasonable connection speed.
thanks
chris

I am having the same issue - ever since I went to Lion my Apple TV 1 doesn't stream without crashing. My Apple TV 2 works just fine...
We can't be the only ones...

Airport Utility 5.6 will no longer read Airport Express Configuration; no longer able to stream from MacBook Pro

I have an old airport express ( 1st one ever I think) up until today I was able to use it with iTunes and also Airfoil to stream music. Today I cannot stream music from my MacBook Pro 2008 ( OS X 10.8.3) Airfoil sees the Airport Express but cannot connect, iTunes see it, but will not connect. When I try to connect with Airfoil the error message is "Airfoil was unable to connect to the remote speaker "little fish". Please check the remote speaker and try again."
iTunes just tries to connect and then times out.
I have AU 5.6 in order to use the old AE. It sees the AE and give me a summary page. But if I try "manual set up" or the "continue" button - I get "reading the Airport Express configuration" and then eventually "An error occured while reading the configurarion. Make sure your Apple Wi-Fi base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753) "
I tried a soft reset, no help.
I tried a hard reset and I was able to see the new airport express and it allowed me to set it up again, then it restarted and everything was the same as before I reset.
I can stream to the Airport Express from my iPhone and my iPad
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong?

It appears that the printer is OK and is on the network. Eventually you may want to set a static IP address for it, but let's get things working first.
The first thing I would try would be to reset the printing system on all the problem Macs:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click the print queue area and select Reset Printing System.
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If this does not do it there may be something going on with the router. I have a few ideas if this is required. Let me know.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
I am employed by HP

I upgraded my PC to windows 8 and I am no longer able to stream music from itunes through my airport express.

I still can use the wifi capabilities of the airport express but not the Iplay capability.

Try this first - 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 works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

ITunes 11 no longer allowing to stream video audio to an Airport?

I just istalled iTunes 11 and discovered that when watching videos, I am no longer able to stream the audio to an AirportExpress connected to a DAC. Very annoyingly, the new iTunes 11 user interface killed the AirportExpress entries from the output menu when wathing videos (it only lets you stream to an Apple TV), but when listening to music, all AirportExpress options are still available. Why can't I select where I want to stream my video to and - separately - where I want to stream the audio to? This is very disappointing, Apple: you've eliminated a key feature of a well-functioning Apple ecosystem at home.

I am so beyond fed up with this and with Apple. THANK GOD I just switched to a Galaxy S3. The whole reason I did it is because iOS 6 crossed the line, especially with the removal of the native Google apps, only to replace Maps with the biggest joke of a maps app I have ever seen in my life. Within 5 minutes of turning on my new Android phone, literally every single feature, down to the most minor detail, was better than iPhone. Every iPhone user that has checked out my new phone says the same thing. I cannot find ONE thing that is better on the iPhone. Not ONE thing.
Before activating my new awesome phone, I wanted to sync my busted old piece of junk iPhone with Google contacts so I can seamlessly transfer them to the new phone, and lo & behold, I encounter even more of Apple's BS with regard to Google.
Apple, I can promise you this... by taking this stance against Google & making things SO much harder for your users, you are driving them away from Apple in DROVES, and straight into Googles open arms. Prepare to circle the drain. Switching to Android is the best decision I've made all year. I LOVE MY NEW PHONE!

Streaming Content and Adding/Syncing Content

Is it possible to add or sync movies/tv shows to apple tv but also have the option of streaming content?
I just finished setting up my apple tv. I had to enter a 5 digit passcode into my itunes and this allowed me to sync or manually add content to my apple tv. But, I also wanted to be able to stream content since I have about a TB's worth of music and movies/tv shows. So, I went back to the apple tv and had to enter another 5 digit passcode (this one allows me to stream). But now, I can't add files directly onto my apple tv. Can anyone help?

You can - the library set up to sync will automatically allow compatible content not synced and not deseleceted in main itunes media lists to stream - say you sync 20 movies, but have another 80 unsynced, then when itunes is running you'll see a combined list of 100 movies not 20. Turn itunes off and only 20 appear under My Movies as they can't stream unless it's running.

You basically sound as though you changed it to a streaming library whcih can't sync.
Your're allowed one sync/stream library (primary/main whatever you want to call it), but can also connect to separate stream only libraries (streaming/secondary).
Sync library stuff appears under My whatever, streaming only under My Shared whatever entries.

My iTunes is no longer able to broadcast radio streams

Until recently, I've been able to stream radio successfully through iTunes and my old G4 Notebook. The music plays through ceiling speakers in the house. Recently we installed a new modem from Time Warner and my iTunes is no longer able to broadcast the Internet stream. The radio stations are broadcasting successfully; so that’s definitely not a problem. The G4 is able to broadcast songs I’ve downloaded. It’s just dead when it comes to picking up the Internet frequency. Any suggestions? Thanks. Johnnymoon.

I am having the same problem after adding the last update.

I'm no longer able to copy photos from email to my iPad photo stream. The Save menu doesn't come up like it did before. When I press on the image, I only get the option to Copy, and I can't paste it into my photo stream.

Hi beerexpert,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPad. If you are having unusual menu or option behaviour, you may want to try restarting/resetting your device, as outlined below:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
You may also want to double-check that you have available space, as noted here:
See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

E4200 - Can't stream content from direct attched storage

I did not have any issues with the Linksys routers except for:
One major issue I had with Linksys E4200 and E3000 was with regards to content sharing/streaming.
Linksys allows you to attach an external storage to the router and share the content with other computers. However, this product nor the earlier, E3000, didn't allow streaming via TV, bluray or media with DNLA capability.
We could attach a storage to the router then map that in other computer and by providing a username/password you could access the content.
These TV's and blurays do not have the ability of providing a username/password to the router to be recognized. Which your tech support missed to understand and instead advised me to open up a port on TV! (WHY?). Unfortunately, your tech support couldn't get this part and suggested to install the Samsung AllShare software on the External drive! Which I explained over the phone, that NAS/external storage doesn't have an OS to host the software.
Therefore, TV/Bluray can't stream content from the attached storage, Although TV/bluray could see the Media attached to router.
That is deal breaker. There should be an option in the router to allow the devices in internal network to be able to stream media from an attached Storage.
I chatted with Linksys support twice with regards to E3000. Both stated as long as I could map the drive on another computer then there were no problem. So what about your statement about upnp "The built-in UPnP AV Media Server enables seamless streaming of video and media files on your attached storage to an Xbox 360, PS3, or other UPnP compatible device"? That is why I didn't bother chatting when I got the E4200.
Just a note that Linksys support test the streaming via Seagate 2TB External drive and a 2G Kingston Traveler USB flash drive (since USB flash was in the list of tested USB storage).
This is matter of some thinking, few hours of developers work, QA and a firmware update.

OK,
Got a new E3000, and I updated the firmware to the latest.
Now going to format a supported USB Key,/External drive and attached it to see what will happen.
I will do as follow;
1- Now, today I will reset the device as it was advised previously, meaning holding the reset botton at the end for 30 secound and then wait for it to comeup. Or just unplug it for 30 secound?
2- Will enable the Media Server
3- Specify which folders to be scanned for media, I will leave it as is cause I want the whole USB to be scanned
So When I insert and format the USB with the Router, it will create a directory call public and andother inside this one call public. I will place my file in that folder as follow
\public\public\mymovie.avi
will scan the USB key/flash drive, or should I specify anything? please let me know I am noob in that scanning part
specify the interval I will set it to every hours for today and then laterto 24 hours.

App-V 5 Full Infrastructure Apps take long time to stream to the client

Hi was wondering if anyone has the same issue as i am or knows a fix for this, below is my problem and the troubleshooting i have done.
Overview of problem
App-V 5 apps delivered via App-V 5 full infrastructure take a long time to stream to the client and this means the user has to wait if they try and run an application before it has streamed to the client. Users sometimes have to
wait 2 or 3 minutes for an application to stream and this is about 40 times slower than basic SMB and HTTP transfer tests show the system is capable of (see performance results below).
App-V 4.6 apps delivered via App-V 4.6 full infrastructure and HTTP streaming are fine.
Overview of environment
App-V 5.0 SP1 Full Infrastructure.
App-V servers are running Server 2012 on Hyper-V 3 or ESX 5.1 with 2 x vCPU and 4GB RAM.
SQL servers are a SQL 2012 cluster.
Separate servers for SQL, management, publishing, content and reporting.
Management, Publishing and Content servers have two servers per role and NLB to provide load balancing. So 7 servers (2 x Man, 2 x Pub, 2 x Content, 1 x Reporting)
Two further sites with 2 x Pub and 2 x Content each. All publishing servers pointed at the load balance address for management.
Content delivered via HTTP
Clients are physical desktops and laptops running Windows 7 SP1 x86 and Windows 8 x86
App-V client is 5.0SP1
Clients are pointed at their nearest publishing server NLB via a script which looks up the client IP address and uses PowerShell to configure the publishing server
Content is streamed from the nearest content server NLB by setting the PackageSourceRoot to the nearest content NLB (via the same PowerShell script above).
App-V apps delivered per-user via AD group. One AD group per application. Approximately 200 App-V apps published so far - will eventually reach 400 as we sequence more. About 9000 users.
Analysis performed so far
Servers not heavily loaded. CPU averages 5%. Lots of RAM free. Very low disk IO. Problem also occurs out-of-hours so we are 99.9% certain that server resources are not a cause.
Streaming performance is the same from all 6 content servers and all 3 NLB addresses (tested by changing the value of PackageSourceRoot). Wireshark used to confirm packages are really streaming from the correct location, enforcing
our belief that the problem isn't at the server end (unless all 6 servers are affected).
Streaming via both HTTP and SMB2.1 is approximately the same (tested by changing the value of PackageSourceRoot between http://xxxx and \\server\AppVContent).
Wireshark used to confirm we really are using the protocol we think we are using.
All clients exhibit the same behaviour. Issue reported by many users. 5 test PCs chosen at random at all 3 sites confirmed to have the slow streaming problem.
Slow streaming from both Hyper-V and VMware ESX servers.
Client not heavily loaded.
Affects all App-V apps although it obviously affects the larger ones more.
All App-V apps have a Feature Block 1 setup.
If we copy the ".appv" file from the server to the client via either HTTP or SMB then it's reasonably quick (up to 480Mb/s). So we don't believe the network or servers are at fault. For example:
We can copy a 149MB .appv file via SMB from the content server to the client in 5 seconds.
We copy HTTP download the .appv file from the content server using IE on the client in 5 seconds.
But if you ask the App-V 5 client to fully download the sequence then it takes 2 - 3 minutes.
The App-V 4.6 client takes about 8 - 10 seconds to fully download a similar sized application.
App-V 5 publishing works fine - when a new user logs on they get their list of application straight away, it's just the streaming which is slow.
Once the App-V app has streamed locally it runs fine and with a decent performance.
Looking at a Wireshark trace of the streaming you can see that the slow performance is due to the transfer stopping and starting a lot. You only notice this when you zoom into the performance graph a fair bit.
Each time the HTTP server stops sending traffic, it doesn't start again until the client sends a "TCP Window update". Each "stop" is of a different length, but just taking a few from the middle I get 0.06s, 0.11s,
0.13s wasted etc.
I can see that it's the client stopping the transfer by reducing its advertised TCP Window Size. I'll provide an example:
Server sends 9 x 1514 bytes. Client responds with an ACK and a Window size of 54016 bytes (256x211)
Server sends 11 x 1514 bytes. Client responds with an ACK and a Window size of 37888 bytes (256x148)
Server sends 10 x 1514 bytes. Client responds with an ACK and a Window size of 23296 bytes (256x91)
Server sends 15 x 1514 bytes. Client responds with an ACK and a Window size of 1280 bytes (5 x 256)
Server stops sending (I'm guessing because the client advertised Window size was less than a single packet's worth of bytes)
<0.1 seconds passes>
Client sends a "TCP Window Update" re-advertising a TCP window size of 65536 (256x256).
Server starts transmitting again
So the way I see this is that the App-V 5 client is controlling the transfer speed by utilising TCP Window flow control. The trace was taken at the client end so there's no room for anything on the network to be fiddling with flow
control (and we've confirmed there are no traffic shapers in the loop).
We've also tried streaming directly from the local client by copying some App-V 5 apps down to the client, creating a SMB share on the client and changing PackageSourceRoot to \\localhost\AppVContent (i.e. so we are streaming directly
from the client to the client - to remove the network from the equation) and there is only an improvement of 5 to 10 seconds. So we know it's nothing to do with the network or the servers.
We've tried turning off TCP auto-tuning on the client with:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
and turning off TCP chimney offloading (which is off anyway because the NIC doesn't support it and Netstat -t output shows "InHost" for offload state for all connections) with:
netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
and nothing has improved.
So we've now focussed on the extraction of the .appv (ZIP) file on the client.
Using Windows Explorer it takes 75 seconds to extract the ZIP file
Using 7ZIP it takes 9 seconds to extract the ZIP file
Yeah we've always known that the Explorer ZIP engine is terrible. That's why we use 7ZIP or WinRAR on our clients.
So we've started to wonder if the problem with the slow App-V 5 streaming is because the client is downloading the .appv file and extracting it as it goes along in a single thread. If the App-V 5 client is using the same terrible
ZIP engine that Explorer does then that would explain the slow performance. The "download" appears to take a long time because the client is using TCP flow control to slow the transfer since it's extracting the .appv file using a very slow ZIP engine
and it's all in a single thread.

Guys,
Just wanted to give you a brief update basically close this thread as Answered.
We had submitted 4 App-V 5 Bugs to Microsoft and these were reproducible and an explanation was given on work around to them. Microsoft
sent down a App-v developer to have a look at our problems. They said they will try and include the Bug fixes in SP2 which should be out in a few weeks or they will definitely be included in SP3.
In regards to the slow streaming it all came down to the Disk IO.
We found that you could simply enable "Turn off
Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device", then start streaming the app and then disable "Turn
off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device" immediately after
(we don't want to leave it on) and that basically fixed the issue.
But a normal user would not have permissions to do
this, so a code was written to enable and disable this option.
Apology for not going in detail, like my opening thread, its very late.
but if you would like a detailed analysis please message me.
I would like to Thank the Talented Consultant who designed and implemented are App-V infrastructure who found the bugs and created all
the work around and who also emailed the detailed analysis of the problems to Microsoft that got them interested.
Simon Bond from Ultima Business Solutions.
Thank you

Finder (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) taking long time to load contents of any directory. Please help?

In my macbook pro 5,2 snow leopard (10.6.8), Finder taking long time to load contents of any directory. Please help?
I have already tried to spotlight re-indexing but it did not help. I am hardly able to work on it, almost for each directory I browse its keeps on spinning for 1min.

Download iTunes from Apple's web site and install it. Don't use Software Update.

No matter where I go, as soon as I turn on the Internet on my new Mac Book Pro, everyone else is no longer able to use the Internet. How can I fix this?

No matter where I go, as soon as I turn on the Internet on my new Mac Book Pro, everyone else is no longer able to use the Internet. How can I fix this? I received it as a gift for college, but its hard to do research when everyone constantly yells at me to get off because they can no longer continue what they're doing.

" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.
