No streaming from itunes?

I have iTunes 10.7 on a new 64-bit HP Pavilion desktop running Windows 8 x64. I simply want to stream itunes music to my 3rd-gen Apple TV.
Apple TV sees the network, but the network doesn't see the Apple TV. On the Apple TV I can see and play the contents of my iTunes library, but it is independent of what tracks iTunes is playing on my desktop. I want to stream from the desktop, so that the same thing is playing everywhere, and so that I don't have to have the TV on in order to do so.
Prior to the new PC, I successfully did this from iTunes 10.7 on an older HP Pavilion running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The Apple TV and the wireless router are the same.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Now, if I pull up the TV Shows, Movies, Music list from my iPhone remote app everything is listed and WILL play when selected. I guess the question is why and how do I correct this?
Interesting observation - the AppleTV can't see th streamed content itself, but the streaming connection is clearly active if you can force it to play from the iPhone.
It would be good to know if other people can replicated this.
I noticed some weeks ago that even if the AppleTV disappears from Devices I can still use it in 'Airport' mode as a speaker selectable from iTunes.
There's more at work here than simple network interruptions.
I think the initial problem might be a timeout for some communication between the two, but for whatever reason the software at both ends is useless at realising the connection has re-established - so in essence they are connected, just the software at one or both ends has flagged connection down when a brief interruption or delay occurs, and doesn't reset this flag when it's available again.

No streaming from iTunes to my ATV

All was well until I "upgraded" to Lion AND the latest iTunes update, now there is no streaming from itunes to my ATV. Any ideas? Thanks FR

Capaho's right. You won't have to turn on TV at all, unless you want to put it in Standby. You are supposed to be able to put it in standby by holding plat button, i believe, for like 5 seconds. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you lose all your files, like what happened to me last week.
Things could be different with new firmware, haven't d'loaded it yet.

I am using an airport express to stream from iTunes to my stereo. My router is a net gear type G. Setting up is no problem for the first time. But, when I close iTunes then restart I have to reset (using the reset button)and reset up. Wanna do it one?

Using a. Airport express to stream from iTunes. My Router is a Netgear type G. The express sets up fine and works the first time. When I try to use it at a later date after closing then reopening iTunes I have to physically reset the express and then go through the process of finding it again. Is this normal?

I have a 3rd generation (802.11n capable, 2.4Ghz only) airport express, my problem is that I've tried using it to extend my network and that brick wall, no matter how close I get the express to the room, the signal and throughput in that room becomes abysmal.
As you might imagine, brick is a lot like cement, and it will not allow much of the wireless signal through.
Regarding your Express, there is no such thing as a 3rd Generation model....yet. You likely have a 1st Generation AirPort Express. Check and confirm the Model No on the side of the Express. A 1st Gen model is A1264.
Here's my problem, I don't think the express supports "extending" a network from a wired network jack.
The Express can "extend" wirelessly, or using an Ethernet connection. The configuration for this is very simple, but post back if you need it.
The jack just seems to be shut off
Have you temporarily turned off the wireless on a laptop and tried to connect it using an Ethernet cable to the wall jack as a "test"?
If you can get a good Internet connection this way, then you know the Ethernet cabling and jack are working correctly.
On the other hand, if you cannot get an Internet connection on the laptop during this "test", then this indicates that the Ethernet cable or jack is not functioning correctly and the wiring will need troubleshooting before you can proceed any further.
I need to create a whole new wireless network in this room for this configuration to work?
AirPort Setup will take care of this for you automatically during the configuration of the AirPort Express.
If I have an apple TV connecting to the express and an AppleTV connecting to the extreme, will they both be visible when connected wirelessly to either network?
Yes
Will I be able to connect to my network seemlessly?
Yes
Post back after you have confirmed that the Ethernet cable and Ethernet jack are functioning correctly in the temporary "test" mentioned above. Then, we will continue.

Can AirPort Extrem receive radio stream from iTunes?

Hi,
Can AirPort Express receive radio stream from iTunes? I know that files in iTunes can be played, but what about Internet radio?
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Rico

If you want to be able to stream any audio source on your Mac or PC, you need an application like Airfoil.

Simultaneous photo and music streaming from itunes

I was wondering if its Possible to have a slideshow streamed from itunes while simultaneously browsing and listening to music streamed to the ATV2?
I'd like to have the slideshow as a "screensaver" on the tv while picking songs to play from my iTunes library. Is even a playlist possible?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't browse and watch a slideshow at the same time, but you can choose your music prior to starting a slideshow.
Again you can't have the screensaver running and browse for music at the same time, but you can choose music to play and let the screensaver start.

After APTV and itunes upgrade on mac, streaming from itunes to Apple TV is very slow.

After APTV and itunes upgrade on mac to latest on 02/15, streaming from itunes to Apple TV is very slow. even 5 mins song takes 10-15 mins to start. Netflix/Youtube work fine on Apple TV. restarted Mac, router, modem, appletv. reset Appletv to factory setting and re-start.

Apple TV 2 does not appear in iTunes (exception being when connected via micro-usb for restore) as it has no sync capabilities.
See if this helps

Apple TV Cuts off when streaming from iTunes

Since a couple days ago, when I stream a TV show I have brought from iTunes directly to watch it works fine but every 8 - 9 minutes, without fail it will cut off and say the iTunes store is not avaliable. I then simple press play again and it starts again, but then 8 - 9 minutes later the same thing happens? Does anyone know a way to fix this?? It's very frustrating when you're watching an hour long TV show and it cuts off 6 or 7 times!!
Thanks.
P.S. It worked fine until a couple days ago.

its something on itunes part, like lantzn said we all been trying to get them to help us
if you stream from your library---- works fine
if you stream from netflix-----all is fine
if you stream from itunes store ----whatever you are watching will cut off after 8min 59 sec
you can resume but just 9 min later the same thing happens again.
I have spent 2 days trouble shooting the issue with Apple care, I even opened a new Apple tv I got for my family room which is doing the same thing, I reset my settings, I refreshed my network still the same problem
today on a return call I got from apple care they agree its on itunes end, so he made a call or chat whatever they did to the tech support at the itunes store dept and they gave him the same as I got from express lane, everything is fine on their end....its not!
they told him to tell me its my network ...its not! I have 2 xbox consoles and they both work fine when I stream videos, I have no issue with anything on my Apple tv such as youtube or netflix or my library
jus the store.
there are so many complaining on this exact issue and they need to understand
the coomon issues we all have
started on the 19th of this month
itune store cuts off after 8min and 59 sec
it can resume but will cut off after 8min and 59 sec
can watch netflix with no problems
can use my library to stream with no problems
it could be a server issue or update but the new apple tv I opened was 4.4.3 and it had the same issues as the one I been using which is 4.4.4
The only thing I can suggest is if you have the Apple care on your Apple TV is to call over and over and let them know this is happening because if they get the calls then hopefully someone will keep contacting the itune store support and fix it.
itunes support told apple care to go to a store and have them test it on their network
Honestly, I can not make it to the genuis bar at a apple store for a bit because I was in a car accident and can't walk on my leg, so trust me I was looking forward to watching a bunch of movies, I could but the resuming after every 9 min blows.
so frustrated but im calling apple care again in the morning.

Problem streaming FROM iTunes to Apple TV

I recently reinstalled windows on my computer, and copied the old iTunes settings to my new installation. Everything works fine, except for streaming from iTunes to my Apple TV 2. I have no problems when using my Apple TV to select podcasts or music in the Library on my computer, they play fine. However, when I use iTunes to play these podcasts or songs on my Apple TV (using Airplay) they have constant hiccups. Every 20-30 seconds, the sound stutters. My wifi connection is not the problem, the Apple TV, computer and router are all in the same room close to eachother (and I have the maximum number of bars on my wifi connection).
I have read somewhere that it may be related to old network preferences kept by iTunes, and have tried to delete the old com.apple.iTunes.plist file, but this did not help.
Does anybody have any idea to solve this annoying problem?

I am amazed as well. I have spent days and hours trying to figure this out! I believe it is a software glitch that allows sesitivity to vary! Signal strength stays @100%, there are no other houses for 50 yards in a wooded environment and no other electronic devices to possibly interfere with the signal. With only 20 feet seperating airport and apple tv you would think it would be stable. This is more then disappointing. With my system the same thing happens as with yours?? Apple says interference but I know that is not the case. I had the same problem at 3 in the morning and this place is dead at 3 in the morning. Not even a car!! Sometimes iTunes just drops off station and apple tv stays synced can't explain that either??

HT4352 slow streaming from itunes to apple tv 3

I am experiencing slow streaming from itunes to apple tv (latest gen). My itunes library is found but when the music begins it stops after 2 seconds then restarts etc etc. It seems like it is streaming slowly from itunes. At first it appeared the firewall was the problem but this has been eliminated. Any one have the same problems or know of a solution?

Hi,
I had this problem both between Mac itunes library and Apple TV and Windows 7 Itunes Library to Apple TV, I disabled IPv6 on both my mac and windows machine, fixed the ip on all my devices. I also disabled windows firewall on my windows machine (I have an external firewall so not needed) you may not want to do this. From my windows machine it would play a few songs, then start one at 7 seconds and not play audio. From my mac it would say connecting to itunes library with the wheel.
These are the things I believe to resolve the issue, I also disabled a tonne of windows services (iphelper, Windows media streaming)

Streaming from iTunes to ATV3 slow to nonexistent after 6.0 update

After updating to 6.0 my ATV3 and one of my ATV2's has encountered issues with streaming from iTunes (Computers) on my household iMac. I hadn't updated my second ATV2, which I used to test my theory that it was 6.0 specific. Streaming from it works fine.
My ATV3 and ATV2 are not bricked. Apps such as Netflix work well and all Apple purchased content play easily from the cloud.
Has anybody encountered the same issue? Have you found a resolution?
On a side note, my iTunes is 11.1 (from beta), my iMac is a 2.8 Intel Core 2 Duo and my OS is 10.8.5. Though I do not see this being any cuase. Again, my second ATV2 works fine.
Thanks in advance everybody.
_teunis

I have both an ATV3 and ATV2 after updating my ATVs are missing content and it is random what is missing. Some material I have ripped and stored in iTunes for ease of use. At first I thought it might be Tunespan but it seems to be working fine, and other ripped material apears and plays without issue. I spoke to tech support who said this was the first call the had, had about this issue after the 6.0 update. Interwstingly enough both ATVs are missing the same content which leads me to believe it is another glitch in the update. I am from Canada so I don't know if the issue is being resolved in the US. P.S. I have tried the second update for my ATV 3 and am still missing content. The only option ttech seemed to suggest was a full restore via your Mac and a micro usb cable.

Streaming from itunes

Since the upgrade to 10.6.3 I have been unable to stream from iTunes to my HiFi.
The HiFi sees my plalists, artists, albums, tracks etc. but will not play the stream. I use Eyeconnect as my uPnP streamer, this has been working with no problems since before Christmas until the iTunes upgrade.
Has this affected anyone else or any suggestions pleaase.

See if there is (or wait for) an update to Eyeconnect.

Streaming from iTunes to AirPort Express interrupted with good conectivity

I connect from my iMac to a radio in the kitchen via AirPort Express. The stream from iTunes is interrupted ever so often and the second speaker in AirPlay is dimmed. The connection to the AirPort Express remains excellent throughout. Restarting helps, but then it tends to happen again. Sometimes after an interruption it starts working again. I did not notice any specific timing or other activity on my iMac that could cause this.
Any ideas?
Detlef

besides changing the radio channel used, also try this:
open system preferences
open network pane
select airport in the left list
click the advanced button
go to the TCP/IP tab
set the configure IPv6 field to OFF.
click OK
click apply
now try again to connect to your remote speakers.

Can't Get ATV to Stream from iTunes

OK, I can't get my ATV to stream from my iTunes. when I initially set up the ATV, it synced to my iTunes. I actually don't recall any option to sync or stream, but makbe I missed it.
Anyway, the help says the following:
"Playing your iTunes library on your TV using Apple TV
If you have an Apple TV, you can stream items from your iTunes library to your TV. You can also sync your Apple TV with your iTunes library so that content is automatically loaded onto your Apple TV.
Syncing your Apple TV with iTunes
If your Apple TV is synced with an iTunes library, it is already set up for streaming. You can also stream items from an iTunes library that isn't synced with your Apple TV. You can stream from up to five iTunes libraries, plus the library the Apple TV is synced with.
To set up your Apple TV for streaming:
Make sure the computer you want to stream from is on, and iTunes is open.
On your Apple TV, choose Sources, choose "Connect to New iTunes," and make a note of the passcode displayed.
In iTunes, select the Apple TV with "Click to set up" next to it, and enter the passcode.
While content is being streamed, the computer must remain on and iTunes must remain open. If you stream content while Apple TV is syncing, the sync pauses until streaming stops.
You can stream from only one iTunes library at a time. To stream from a different library, choose Sources on your Apple TV and then choose another source."
Now, here is the problem:
1. It says "If your Apple TV is synced with an iTunes library, it is already set up for streaming." NOT. No where do I see any stream or share selection. Only sync.
2. It says "You can stream from up to five iTunes libraries, plus the library the Apple TV is synced with." Again, not that I can see.
3. It says "On your Apple TV, choose Sources, choose "Connect to New iTunes," and make a note of the passcode displayed." I don't have a "Sources" option anywhere in ATV. How am I supposed to select it?? All I have is a "Computers" selection, which shows me my current selected computer for synching, and another option to share a library, with a new passcode. But, only to a second computer, not my main one (where all the files are!).
I don't understand. It's like it's referring to some other device, with different menus. Now, I have ver 2.0 of ATV, and 7.6 of iTunes. WHAT IS GOING ON?
I purchased this thing to take advantage of streaming, for photos and video. I only bought the 32 GB unit, but even the 160 would not be bug enough to have all my photos and HD video. So, streaming is a must. But, it would be nice to also sync the music files so I can listen to them without having the computer on. If the thing functed like the manual says, I would be happy. But, it doesn't.
HELP!!

Good news- this is all so much simpler that you think. (I know because I too struggled with it for days.) It turns ou that you have to do NOTHING to set up streaming with 2.0. Once you have synced your computer, just leave your computer running and on your TV using ATV you will see whatever movies you have imported into iTunes in the movie menu even if you have not synced them. The only way that you can tell that they are not synced is that when you select them to play the streaming bar will appear briefly at the bottom of your TV screen to indicate that it is being synced. If you turn your computer off the movie that you have chosen would not even appear in the menu.
Hope this helps- it is too bad apple doesn't give more info about using ATV!

Apple TV no longer stream from iTunes Match

Since the last update Apple TV does not longer stream my music from iTunes Match. Also is the option for itunes match not longer selectable but on my ipad is it still working.

Did you ever get this figured out?
I am having this problem with my just-purchased Apple TV 3rd generation A1469, MD199LL/A, software 6.0.2.
iTunes on my mac is at the latest version 11.1.3.
iTunes Match has been, and continues to work for me on iPhone 5s. My Mac reports iTunes Match: iTunes library available in iCloud.
After enabling iTunes Match, I see "Setting up your Apple TV to stream music from iTunes Match. This may take a few minutes, depending on the size of your library and Internet connection speed." After this a thermometer bar slowly completes left to right, indicating some kind of sync info transfer is occurring. This takes a number of minutes. Some minutes are the thermometer bar completes, the following error message appears:
/_!_\ iTunes Match
There was a problem connecting to iCloud. Try again later.
( /_!_\ above symbolizes an exclamation point inside a yellow triangle. )
One thing which may be somewhat uncommon in my setup is that I have two Apple ID's. One is my iTunes Store Apple ID. This is used for all my iTunes purchases, iTunes in the cloud, and iTunes Match. The other is my iCloud ID. In Apple TV settings, iTunes Store is associated with my iTunes Store ID. I have tried with Apple TV iCloud associated with my iCloud ID, with my iTunes Store ID, and also signed out, with no difference in behavior.
Another thing which may be uncommon is I am using the Apple ID two-factor authentication (two-step verification) described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US. Perhaps Apple TV has no way to deal with this? I have not tried disabling that as an experiment: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5631.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide - I would really like to operate from iTunes Match and so as not to need to have mymacbook pro on and running iTunes and home sharing in order to enable content to apple tv.
Joe

How can I stream from iTunes (Win) to Apple TV (3. generation)?

Home Sharing is turned on, but I can't see my iTunes library on my Apple TV, also I've no idea, how to stream from my MacBook or PC to the Apple TV. Firewall is offline during testing. Streaming photos and from iOS-devices works.

What happens you you try? Are you looking under Music or Computers > Music. Have you entered in the home sharing ID you created in to ATV?

No streaming from itunes?
