Slow transfer of video from my mac to my Apple TV

Hi there!
I have a Time capsule (bought last year) as wifi source and an Apple tv 2nd generation. When I try to copy video on my tv from my macbook air 1.7 GHz core i7 using airplay, the video on the tv starts and stops all the time, while it continues on the screen of the mac. Watching videos from iTunes gives a similar result: it takes lots of time to start, and then it stops after a few minutes. My TC is 5 m away from Apple TV. I tried to connect my mac to the TC with an ethernet cable: no difference.
Using speedtest from my iPhone to test the speed of the wifi, I get 71Mbps download and 12Mbps upload: this should not be the problem....
Am I doing something wrong? what can I do to improve? The configuration of my appartment does not make it easy to connect the Apple TV to the TC with a wire.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you for the advise. This gave me an idea: I now connected the apple tv to the 5 ghz channel of the time capsule, and it works much much better. I still have problems with some mp4 videos recorded with a gopro. May be I should convert those to apple tv format? what would be the best way to do that (I normally use HandBrake or Imovie)

    the commercial is deceiving to me. i am not the most techy person and i thought that you could share full song playlist which to me meant the songs also. that is all, it wasnt anything you had said but i am really thankful you enlightened me because i would still be racking my brain trying to figure out how to do it.
    You can share songs, but if there is DRM protection on the song, it will not play on the other device unless you also transfer the rights to the other device. You are getting into the problem of music piracy.

  • Help! I can't transfer music videos from my mac to my iPad.

    Help! I cannot transfer music videos from my mac to my iPad. I simply want to transfer individual music videos from my Mac, but my iPad will not allow it. As soon as I check the box that says 'include music videos' my ipad says that I do not have enough space, which would be true if I wished to transfer all my videos. However, I only wish to transfer a few, something that I have done many times before. I then unchecked the 'include music videos' box, and of course, I could not transfer a single video, despite having plenty of free space. Please help!

    Wendy-
    All of my digital cameras seem to work OK with the iPad Camera Connection Kit, but I've read several similar reports here.  One thing to consider is whether your camera's battery is fully charged.  I doubt it matters, but might explain if it works sometimes and not others.
    I suggest you use a camera card-to-USB adapter to do the transfers.  I've tried several that worked.  The ones that drew too much current were the "universal" types that have several different card slots.  A camera store should carry an adapter, and may let you try it.  The ones I tried that draw too much current, were bad even without a card connected.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV 2 doesn't show up under devices like the Apple TV 1, to send video and music to the Apple TV you need to use the Airplay Option which appears in the lower right corner of iTunes.

  • How do you transfer rented movies from a mac book to apple tv?

    I have downloaded some movies onto my mac book pro, but want to watch them on my apple tv. How does one transfer from the computer to the ATV?

    I'm pretty sure you can't. I complained about this because I couldn't even airplay a rental movie from my ipad to my Apple TV. The support team game me a free rental for my troubles and said if I want to watch rentals on my Apple TV then I must rent it from my Apple TV. The rental prices and restrictions are bad enough, not being able to stream it to my Apple TV is just ludicrous.

  • How do I transfer data/videos from a Mac-OS formatted portable hard drive to a Windows-formatted portable hard drive?

    I was trying to drag-and-drop the contents (most of them are downloaded torrent movies) of my Mac-OS formatted portable hard drive to my Windows-formatted portable hard drive. It didn't work. How do I go about this?

    Hi FornPLAY,
    Your Mac will not be able to write to an NTSF formatted drive, as Mac OS X only supports reading from NTSF natively. You have a few options to be able to use that Windows formatted drive.  You could try reformatting the drive using Disk Utilty to a format like MS-DOS (FAT).  That would allow for both Mac and Windows cross-compatibility.

    How are you trying to transfer it?  Which applicaiton on the Mac are you using? How are you connecting the iPhone to the Mac? If you're using iPhoto what version of iPhoto is it and what system are you using?

  • How do I transfer a photo from my Mac to Ipad?

    How do I transfer a photo from my Mac to Ipad?

    You could email it to yourself or if you are talking about lots of photos:
    You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
    See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
    Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device.

  • I have photoshop7 and want to transfer pictures /video from i phone5.[was:pankaj]

    I have photoshop7 and want to transfer pictures /video from i phone5.

    What OS and platform in the comp with PS7 on it?
    That's FAR more important than PS7 is in this equation. Once you GET the pictures to transfer, you can do whatever you want with them, with whatever software you have.
    But... if your iPhone is iOS 7, you may have troubles unless it's OS 10.7 (Mac) or Windows 7 or 8.

  • Is it possible to transfer music/videos from one itunes account to a separate one?  I need to give my music and videos that I bought a grandchild to her for her ipad.

    Is it possible to transfer music/videos from my itunes account to a grandchild (she will need her own account)  I bought her music and videos and let her play with my ipod touch.  Now she has an ipad.

    No you cannot transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple does not allow it and never has allowed it.
    She can use you Apple ID on the device and switch between her ID and your ID, but that can cause problems at times and can become a bit of a pain.

  • Can I transfer my iMessages from my Mac to my iPhone?

    I got a new iPhone 5s recently and unfortunately my backup on my previous phone wasn't up to date. That phone has been wiped clean and is long gone now. I also have a Mac and have all my recent iMessages up to date on my Mac. (All archived) The iMessages that show on my new phone are old and I want to see if there is a way to transfer the iMessages from my Mac to my phone in order for it to be up to date. I understand that backing it up to the iCloud would have been the easiest way to go about it, but I believe that my last backup didn't complete because of a lack of space and I got a new phone before fixing that problem. Any help would be great! I would also like to do this for the Notes app as well.

    Sorry, no. There is no way to restore those iMessages or Notes without a backup.
