No online stream on apple TV anymore: ready to play in "very long time!"

Here is the story:
Everything was fine until two days ago (even after latest update). I have a wired apple TV and I could watch almost everything in reasonable time (2 to 10 minutes). But at some point from two days ago, I couldn't watch anything. It says ready to watch in "for example: 4 hour 35 minutes".) So I tried to fix it:
1- restart
2- changes the Internet to wireless (it was helpful for two hour).
3-reset
4-downgrade to older version (5.0.2)
None of them fixes my problem. Still I cannot watch anything. There is no online streaming anymore. It's extremely frustrating. Youtube works just fine and network test on ATV3 is successful all the time!
I appreciate any help.

What is your actual connection speed (www.speedtest.net)
Ensure you are using your ISPs DNS
To verify interference try istumbler.net or netstumbler
If you are comparing an iTunes rental to Youtube that is not a good judge. Youtube material is highly compressed. The network test on the unit is not really an accurate indicator of any issues that may be on your setup.

  • Exchange Online, Outlook 2013 - Copying large emails to public folders takes a long time

    We are using Office 365 and when copying a large email (with attachment) to a public folder in exchange online, the copy takes a long time.  Outlook does not let you do anything until it's finished coping.  This is different to other folder
    behavior in outlook where the sync with EO would happen in the background.  Is there a way round this?  It's really frustrating to copy a load of emails to a public folder.
    Thanks.

  • When I try and play a tv show in itune on my computer through appletv it takes a very long time to stream how can I speed this up?

    I am having trouble watching American Horror Story which I downloaded on itunes.  It took hours to download, but once it did I went through my apple TV to play it and it has been streaming to for an hour and it is only half way done.  I can not play it while it is streaming either.  I can't believe this is the norm because if so no one would use it...
    I've looked through trouble shooting and it talks about checking open TCP ports, but I don't begin to understand how to do that.
    Can anyone offer any suggestion, tips or a source to fix the problem?

  • Apple Mail takes a very long time to send messages.

    A few weeks ago, Apple Mail started to act up.
    Even small email messages without images now take 30 seconds to send.
    They sit forever in the outbox.
    What can be the reason of this?

    Window menu -> Activity menuitem will give you all the background processes of Mail, and should give you an idea what is hanging its processes.  
    Mail can especially get tied up if Spotlight or Time Machine are trying to redo their indices.

  • Q. I have other apple account but that email is blocked from long time ago and im still used in my apple id. My Q can i get my bells from that account by other way

    Cant i get my bells in other ways ?

    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and log in with the ID you are asking about. You will see the address which forms the login on the page: click 'Edit' next to it and change it to a working email address (not an Apple on) - though if it is in fact an Apple address itself (i.e. @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com) you can't change it.

  • Unexpectedly ypdating for a very long time in the middle of the day while I am online in class. Can I time these events for the middle of the night instead?

    instead of coming onto the site and allowing me to navigate, the Firefox site automatically updated and did a lon (more than 30 minutes) check on whether plugins were compatible. I cannot use your site if this is going to happen, as I cannot afford to retake classes.Need to be able to time maintenance updates and have the program ask my permission first.

    To have Firefox notify you instead of updating automatically, change your setting here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the "Update" mini-tab, change to "Check for updates"

  • Home Sharing from Mac mini not working to Apple TV anymore

    Hi there,
    My Mac mini (2010 version) is being used as a home theatre. I have been able to connect to my Mac mini through the "Shared" tab in the Finder on my iMac and MacBook Pro along with my Apple TV through Home Sharing on iTunes, up until yesterday.
    When I try accessing my Mac mini shared folder in Finder, it just says "Connecting" for a very long time, before it tells me "Connection Failed."
    On my Apple TV, which is a big problem because my entire iTunes library feeds my Apple TV, it just doesn't show up anymore at all.
    Are there any solutions to any of these problems?
    Thank you so much,
    Marcus Cyganiak

    have you tried rebooting your mini ?
    you also might want to try booting into _*safe mode*_, repairing permissions using *disk utility* while in it, then rebooting normally.

  • Streaming Music, Apple TV stopps playing it

    While I'm streaming music, Apple TV often stopps to play it after a few minutes. iTunes is still going on with streaming it. The connection to the wireless network is excelent and apple tv is showing all the time in iTunes library. All updates have been done. Anybody knows about this problem?

    Thanks for your welcome greatings. I have a airport extreme basestation which is conected to the internet. The conection to the mac is on the best and also showen as well on the atv. I have no problems to download files from the internet. The download rate is stable. What kind uf interference could this be? Atv is shown permanently in the itunes. When I new startup Itunes and I just choose a songlist from my library it works usually for about one hour. If i replay one song or change to a other list, it usualy starts to make troubles after 5-10 minutes. the speaker of my living room are all the time showen in the right corner. When it stops playing the song, itunes is going on to play it - you see this i in the play status of the song - it is still moving and count the time that is left of the song. I can then change the speakers to "computer" and back to atv and it will work for an other 10 minutes. Synchronisation of all Playlists, movies and pictures etc works nice and proper. It is no question about the actually playing song. It's more like apple Tv starts to sleep after a while . I have all playlists which i use also on the atv, but on the reason I have the atv connected to my beamer, i don't like every time to start it and just choose my playlist. I usally don't stream video over the mac. Over the internet (youtube) works fine. I have some podcasts which it automaticly sync with the atv. this also works fine. A lot that works - but not all...

  • When Apple TV Starts it starts playing Itunes too

    I have a brand new Mac Mini running LIon.    I have a Apple TV 2 on a LG 32 inch LED TV .  When  I start Apple Tv and go to the menu and click on a menu my Itunes starts playing a song.   
    So when I am watching  a movie or a podcast on my Apple TV ..    Itunes plays at the same time with a different selection
    got any ideas?

    when pinging the appletv but I have a windows machine on the network and it always sees the appletv so I know it isn't a network problem but something specific to the MBP. I am running 10.5.1 and have set the firewall to allow all incoming connections and it doesn't make a difference. The strange thing is that I can share my iTunes from the MBP and see it on the windows machine and vice versa. This is driving me crazy!!! Any ideas on what the problem could be on the MBP?

  • Netflix, HBO Go, ABC Tv app on my apple tv take a long time to download my videos and they are choppy, how can I resolve this issue? My apple TV is running off of WiFi in my apartment.

    Netflix, HBO Go, ABC TV along with other apple TV apps, take a very long time to download the video and they are choppy when running. My apple TV runs off of WiFi in my apartment. When trying to download updates, it take a long time and then a video screen with "This Update was not Successful. Apple TV couldn't be downloaded at this time. Try again later." What can I do to resolve this issue? I purchased this apple TV in May 2013 new.

    That will be an issue with the network

  • Why is local video streaming to Apple TV jerky?

    Video streaming to Apple TV (v 3) has always been smooth. No matter what the online source -- from YouTube to Netflix -- the video is consistently good. Video streamed from Macs, though, is jerky to the point of unwatchable. Even when I stream it from a a Mac connected by ethernet with wi-fi off, the result is unwatchable.   I cannot think what the problem could be. My wi-fi signal is strong (from two bridged Apple Extreme units) so when I stream wirelessly network shouldn’t be the problem, and I’m just a few feet from both ATV and AE.

    Seems that if it's network related, this is going to be a hard nut to crack.  I assume you can bring your Airport Extreme in to be checked out, but if you are using another brand of wireless router, you won't get much help there.  I know wireless interference can play havoc with signals and one of the things I'd check out with some sniffer software is that possibility.  Just sitting here in my kitchen I can see signals from 15 different wireless routers in my neighborhood.  Using 2.4 GHz channel selection can make all the difference between good and poor performance.  Granted those 15 access points in many cases aren't close enough to interfere, a couple are and I've seen performance on my Macbook Pro suck sometime because a close by wireless router pops onto or close to the same channel I'm on.  That's a lot why I bought an Airport Extreme and use the 5 GHz side as much as possible.  In the case of my Apple TV and all my Apple devices, I run on the 5GHz side.  Signal strength is good and when I get the slow downs when using Airplay, the reboots of the streaming devices usually resolve the issues.

  • Online Streaming services

    There are numerous online streaming services which make it possible to watch selected TV programs on my Apple computer.
    How can I view/transmit these programs to a HD TV:
    1. Can Apple TV be used for this purpose?
    2. If not, how should the computer be connected to the TV set? Via airport express?

    No, unless you have an ios device (iphone, ipod touch, ipad) and they have an app/enable support with the next update.
    To connect a computer to the TV you would have to do so via cables. Alternatively there are other streaming devices but you would have to research as to what fits your needs.

  • HT1498 I've rented a movie but it seems to stick at the download screen. I get the message "ready to play in ...." but it doesn't get past this. I've left my broadband and apple TV on all night but this message is still there.

    I've rented a movie but it seems to stick at the download screen. I get the message "ready to play in......" (time stated varies) but it doesn't get past this screen. I've left my broadband and apple TV on all night but this message is still there. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

    The Apple TV streams the movie you rent and loads up enough in its memory to let you watch buffer free and then forgets the movie.  You get a rental for 30 days until you start to watch it then you have if for 48 hours.
    The only thing you can do is play it when you want to watch it, if there is a problem when you do that contact apple or post again.  The Apple TV does not download the movie so if you switch off and resume later it will need to reload but can start from where you left off.
