No Picture on 'Resume Play' Option When Home Sharing on ATV Gen 3

Everything seems to work fine when you 'Start from Beginning' when home sharing, but as soon as I go to fast forward or 'Resume Play' if I have watched a little bit on my MBP, the screen freezes or is black.  There is sound and there will be no skipping of the sound; also, the movie loads fine, but there is no picture unless I restart from the beginning.   I can also fast forward on Netflix and Hulu Plus just fine with no picture/sound issues so I know that it isn't my internet connection.  I am on Version 5.3 (6105) with a wired connection to my router.

From iTunes Menu Advanced select -> Turn Off Homesharing
Repeat that an every computer
The Turn On Homesharing again - Use the same ID/PW that you use / have used for purchasing songs on every computer

  • Netflix/Apple TV should have a "resume play" option...let's make it happen!

    Netflix's Roku Box is cheaper and has a "resume playback" button which holds your place when you watch a movie and want to revisit at a later time. With apple tv, you have to start allllll the way from the beginning and fast forward to where you left off (if you even remember where you left off). I am beginning to regret buying apple tv and think the apple team should update the software to include a resume play option so that it holds your place where you left off.
    If anyone else agrees, let's tell the feedback peeps we want it added, otherwise why not just buy a cheaper roku box??!!!
    Here's a link, if enough of us write, they WILL listen:

    Netflix on Apple TV definitively has resume playback option. Actually the same "resume playing / start from beginning" than the renting from iTunes store on the Apple TV. Don't know why you haven't seen it.

  • ITunes locks up when Home Sharing is turned on between two macs

    Ok normally On these discussions people ask a question hoping for the answer to fix their problem. Well I'm going to post a question and give the answer all in one post since I figured out.
    When I would open up iTunes on my second mac hoping to share or import some music itunes would lock up that computer. When Home Sharing was turned off on both computers iTunes would work fine on either machine. This really baffled me until I remembered I recently change my Apple ID password. While I had changed it on one computer I hadn't changed it on the other. When I changed the password on both machines vola, Home Sharing worked without locking up the computer.

    the computers firewall needs to be set not to block it
    the wifi router needs to allow the ports required for the various apple services
    you can find out which ports here
    Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products

  • Adobe Connect: how to display a picture in the WebCam pod when not sharing video

    Adobe Connect: how to display a picture in the WebCam pod when not sharing video

    The WebCam pod can pause a live video showing a static image. However, I believe that you are looking to use a Share pod, where you can upload a JPG or PNG image. Just place the share pod with the image where you would have the Camera pod.

  • Play is interupted when home sharing or using air play.

    When I use my Apple TV I have issues with home sharing.  Movies will say they need many hours to download or when they start playing they will be interupted because they have not fully downloaded.
    When using Air Play with another device I will get a similar message.
    Any advice?

    What you describe is a network issue.
    Power cycle the router.
    Connect the ATV via ethernet.
    Move the router closer to the ATV.

  • HT4352 I cannot get any sound on my iPad when home sharing, yet do have sound when playing iTunes that I have loaded, please help?

    I cannot get any sound on my iPad when using the remote app for home sharing, yet do have sound when I play iTunes that I have loaded on my iPad, please help?

    You were on the right track. You got the connect to iTunes screen and you ended to use iTujes to restore your iPad. Try recovery mode again.
    Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • Can no longer play movies via home sharing on Apple TV 2

    I'm having trouble sharing movies via iTunes through home sharing.  Everything I have is Mac, a 2008 iMac, Airport Extreme, (2) Apple TV 2's, and a Macbook Pro.  Everything was fine with this entire setup with all of the movies I've ripped (using the Apple TV 2 settings in Handbrake) until Lion came out. Suddenly I got the 'Content cannot be displayed. Try again later' error message.  After much searching, I found that disabling IPv6 was a good solution, temporarily, that is until Apple released iOS 5.  I updated the ATV2's, iPhone, and iPad, and iMac with everything that came out during the update, and the issue came back.
    I've tried everything I can think of, changing router channels, disabling IPv6 everywhere I saw it, wireless, hardwired, reloading the library, disabling the firewall, countless restarts of all my equipement etc.  All of these movies worked perfectly before the updates, and suddenly I cant stream anything through my local MAC network. 
    Has anyone else seen this? Has anyone found any solutions for this problem? I could really use the help, Apple support is... limited. 

    Problem solved for me!  After trying every possible setting on my equipment, including changing firmware revs on my router, rebuilding my library, re-encoding certain movies, changing all my iTunes, Network, Security, Sharing, and WiFi settings, I finally figured it out. 
    It looks to be a bug with the new iOS release V4.4 - Assuming you have your movies encoded in 5.1AC3 surround, you have to go into the Audio & Video settings on your ATV2, go down to Dolby Digital, and change the setting from Auto to On.  For me at least, it was simple as that.  I've tried all the same movies I was trying to play before, only then I was getting 'An error occurred loading this content.'  After changing the setting from Auto to On, every single movie began working again, in full surround sound. To test it, I switched the setting back to Auto and the same problem came back.  I'm sure Apple will have a fix for this later, but for now, we can assume 'Auto' means 'You cant stream your movies.'
    I hope this helps!

  • HT201335 I have just bought apple TV but i cannot get my TV to find the signal from my Ipad 2. I can access my MAC files and play those through home sharing but no streaming from my ipad. It as though the Apple TV is not receiving the signal. What am i mi

    I have just bought Apple TV 2 and have followed all of the steps as directed. I have set up home sharing so I can watch the files from my MAC on the TV but I cannot get the airplay to stream my Ipad2 to the TV.
    I cannot even get my Apple TV to recognise that my Ipad is even on the same network as it as it gives me no options or recognition that it is trying to send the data.
    What have I missed to make my Ipad2 stream the screen image onto my TV...?
    Frustrated am i with it...!!

    I took a very quick look at the Owner's Manual for that Router.
    Much of this you will already know....but:
    1. Its a combination DSL modem/WiFi Router
    2. It does not have ariel antennas. My experience, the WiFi tends to perform poorly compared to standalone WiFi units and the WiFi range is also limited thus slower the farther away you get (or Apple TV gets)
    3. If you don't have a DSL filter infront of it I recommend using one, even if you don't use phones. DSL comes in the pair as a different frequency and its "probably" best to filter it out anyway.....even though it comes in on a dial tone and a dial tone often exists
    4. Let me know who you ISP is and I will find out what other Routers they offer.
    5. You can buy pretty much any DSL modem / Router online assuming it supports PPOe which most DSL ISPs use
    6. If you have not in fact tried running an Ethernet Cable.....try it.....you can get a 100 footer locally for just a few bucks. It could solve a heart ache

  • Can't play music via "Home Sharing"

    Hi,
    I have my Itunes Library on my 32-bit home desktop (Win XP SP3) and I just purchased a 64-bit laptop (Win 7 Home). I enabled 'Home Sharing' on both computers and I can see the desktop library on my laptop, but can't play the music. I first get a message saying that I need to 'Authorize' the machine and then after I 'Authorized' it, I still wouldn't play, but now it says that this machine is already 'Authorized', so why doesn't it play the music? Please help...
    Thanks,
    greenda4

    I just realized that the "Home Sharing" does work. The problem is the songs that I purchase a while back (2007) is where I am having the problem. However, newer purchases (2009, 2010) have no problems playing on my Win & Laptop. Does anyone know why these older purchases can not be played using "Home Sharing"??

  • HT4557 My MacBook Pro and iPad will not pick up the Air Play or the Home sharing on my AppleTV which was working yesterday

    I was previously able to use my AppleTV with airplay and iTunes home sharing to my 2 macbook pros and my iPad. However, it has suddenly stopped connecting to both airplay and home sharing, even though both are turned on and the correct itunes account has been logged into on all devices. We have reset AppleTV but that has not resolved the issue. There is no airplay icon on any of the macbooks or iPad. Has anyone else experienced this and found any solutions? Thanks.

    It has always been set up as WiFi and until this weekend it worked well - now won't connect.

  • Apps not shared when home sharing itunes library

    I have successfully transfered my itunes library from my old windows xp to my new windows 7 but only 4 newly purchased apps came across. How do I get the rest of my apps to share without having to redownload them from itunes?

    Hi Jim,
    If you are having an issue with Home Sharing between your two computers, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    Troubleshooting Home Sharing - Apple Support
    Several of the steps you have already done, but if you start with step 5 it will help you.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Home movies Info Vanishes when Home Sharing On, Just Thumbnails!

    i have various movies on my iMac and sometimes drop them on to iPad with no problems at all, but i recently added a few tutorial videos on to mac as I'm learning guitar. i thought id try turning on Home Sharing on my devices so i could see them on the iPad.. i managed this and there they are apart from no info beneath the thumbnails, the info is visible on iMac but nothing on iPad apart from thumbnail, is there a reason for this? i trawled the net for a solution and spoke to apple direct but no joy? this also happens to all regular moves too so its not just the guitar vids.

    Look in Home Video or change the tags in iTunes to Movies.

  • TS2972 Home Sharing with ATV stopped working after upgrade to iTunes 11

    After upgrading to iTunes 11, my two PCs are no longer visible to Apple TV or the iOS Remote App.  I went through all the steps in "Troubleshooting Home Sharing" http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972 without success.  In additions, I tried:
    Turning Home Sharing off, then on again on both PCs
    Re-created Firewall rules for iTunes
    Ran a factory reset on Apple TV
    Disabled iPV6 on the network adapter, based on a blogger's fix for an iTunes 10 problem
    Some other observations:
    Home Sharing was working with Apple TV an hour before I ran the updates for iTunes 11 and Apple TV. 
    The Apple TV and iOS Remote App are working together, so the network settings must be correct.
    The PCs in question are running Window 8 Pro 64-bit and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
    The two PCs can see eachother's iTunes.
    It seems likely this is an iTunes 11 issue, but upgrading ATV2 at the same time clouds the diagnostics.
    I was just about to order two more Apple TVs, but now have second thoughts now that my ATV2 is just a doorstop. 
    Any suggestions? 

    You are not alone with issues related to the e1000e (but all they concluded was that reloading the module makes it work again):
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=145564
    It seems like this is more your issue:
    http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux. … devel/8932
    But if none of those boot flags work for you, then there's not much you can do, and you'll have to write a script to reload the module each time after initial boot finishes I guess until the module gets fixed.
    Also, power management of the PCIe interface causes the e1000e to shut off after a while as well (lots of people on CentOS noticing this):
    http://serverfault.com/questions/226319 … ie-aspm-do
    So you can use that boot parameter to stop that from happening, if that becomes an issue for you as well.
