Streaming 1080p from iTunes

So, I recently bought all three seasons of Community on iTunes, and was trying to stream the show from my iMac to my iPad 2 via home sharring last night, and only got 2 episodes to pop up. After thinking it was something screwed up with the files, and redownloading all of them (man this took a while) the problem still persisted, so I looked into what was different about those two episodes that worked, and found that it is because they weren't available in 1080p, thus were 720p. So it's probably safe to assume that the iPad 2 can't stream iTunes 1080p videos at the moment, but is there a way around this/am I doing something wrong? Or is this going to be fixed? I mean, I know the 2's screen is far from 1080p, but I'd think it'd be able to size down the video, right?

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

  • Stream content from iTunes to AppleTV and Airport Express

    I have an Apple TV in family room which is wirelessly connected to my home network. I also have a PC connected via Ethernet to my network. All my music is stored on an external drive connected to my PC (I don’t store any media on the ATV, as my music is well over 400GB). This setup works great, and allows me to stream content from the external drive to my ATV which is connected to a stereo.
    Next, I purchased an Airport Express, connected it to a second stereo in my basement. After spending 3 hours trying to get it connected to my network, (I had to disable all wireless encryption, and use MAC filtering to keep network secure), I am now able to stream media from iTunes on the PC, to the stereo connected to the Airport Express.
    What I would like to do now, is be able to select a song from the Apple TV (using ATV remote, or iPhone Remote), and have it play in both places. Since the media itself is coming from iTunes running on the PC with the external drive, and it gets streamed from there to Apple TV, how can I also stream the same content to the Airport Express?
    The folks at the Apple store say this is a feature, but no one seems to know how to make it work. I have also read hundreds of posts online, and some say you can do this, others say you cannot. All of those who say it is not possible, state you cannot stream from ATV to AE, but in my case, the media is not on the ATV, it is on the PC, and I just want to use ATV to select the song. From there, it would be iTunes that would send the content to both the ATV and the AE.
    Can someone help myself and many others put this question to rest - can it be done, or not?

    Thanks for the reply. Just as you indicated, I figured out how to use iPhone remote to tell iTunes on PC to output to Express, Apple TV and PC, and that works great - I can even turn on/off any of the speakers from the iPhone - this is so COOL!
    While you answered the question, I am curious about the architecture of all this...If the media is actually on the PC and is controlled by iTunes, isn't the Apple TV doing the same thing as the iPhone Remote - just telling iTunes what to play, and iTunes sends the content to whatever speakers are defined? Keeping that thought, if you can control iTunes via iPhone Remote, and the content will play on any speakers you select, then it would make sense that you could do the same thing with the Apple TV menu - tell iTunes what to play, and let iTunes send to whatever speakers you have selected.

  • I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You said:
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. 
    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

  • I need to stream video from itunes to apple tv with out using my 40gb hd.

    i need to stream video from itunes to apple tv with out using my 40gb apple tv can it be done you see i have a 40gb apple tv and it's full and i still have lots more video (movies) in my itunes can i stream movies from itunes to apple tv with my memory full in apple tv??????????

    Select the iTunes library on your computer from the Sources menu in Apple TV and then you can stream. If streaming is not smooth and your router has a multicast setting, try increasing the multicast bit rate. To return to the synced content on your Apple TV, select the Apple TV logo at the top of the Sources menu.

  • TS2972 I am having problems streaming content from iTunes on my computer to the Apple TV.

    I cannot stream content from iTunes on my computer to my Apple TV (latest model).
    I have checked the following -
    iTunes Version 11.1.5.5
    No Windows updates outstanding for the computer
    Home Sharing is turned on in both iTunes and the Apple TV
    The wireless network appears to be OK
    iTunes connects to the Store so the computer is OK
    the Apple TV connects to external content - You Tube etc
    I have opened up TCP/IP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 in the McAfee Firewall
    When I turn on the Apple TV and check the Computer Icon, I get the following message -
    "To access your iTunes library on Apple TV, turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer using "..the Apple ID...".
    Where to next?

    Well, after 1 hour of phone support and 90 minutes of on-line support, McAfee finally resolved the problem.
    If anyone else has a similar problem, tell McAfee to look at Service Request 1443603280.

  • Streaming movies from iTunes is taking up space on my iPad.

    Hello.  I have couple iPad Air's and a iPad mini.  The issue I am having is happeing with all 3 devices.  We like to stream movies from iTunes.  What I have noticed is everytime I stream a movie it takes up anwhere between 2-5 GB splace under "other".  They are all 32GB iPad's.  I plugged in the iPad to the computer yesterday and it showed 19.2 GB under "other".  I have tryied everything.  Restore, reset, setting it up as new and can't get this issue to go away. This was happening before 7.1 came out.  I called Apple and they don't have a fix for it.  This is very frustrating, as after watching few movies I start getting a message that my memory is full.  My wife has used most of her space with apps and music, she has around 3 GB available.  After she watches 1 movie she gets a message that memory is full and can't stream any longer.  So looks like the temp files are not getting deleted.  Only way to get the space back is to restore the ipad and start over until it gets full again. 

    I wish that I had an answer for you, but I can't think of anything else to try. What I find so odd is that it happens to all 3 of your devices. That doesn't make sense at all unless it has something to do with how iTunes handles what is happening on the iPad when you sync your devices.
    I update my iPhone 5S and my iPad 3 last night and then synced both devices with iTunes. When I plugged them into my MBP - they both showed an overcapacity it's due to "other". "Other" includes app data caches and when it grows out of proportion like that it means that something got corrupted. I synced the devices anyway, and the "other" dropped dramatically back to where it was on each device before I updated and where it should be.
    What I'm trying to say is something may be getting corrupted when you sync with iTunes...what it is I have no clue.

  • Streaming Movies from iTunes

    Hi, is it possible to stream movies from iTunes straight to my TV without having to unplug my mac and connect it via wires?
    Can it be streamed over a wireless network perhaps?
    many thanks ;o)

    Hey thanks for the advice on apple TV, checked it out today but I don't think that it the way forward for me. Its just to costly, 40GB TV is £170 in the UK with no option of using an external USB hard drive for extra storage. I feel apple is ripping me off!!
    I'll look at other options at the moment.
    Many thanks for pointing in this direction though.

  • HT4437 Streaming music from iTune to Airport Express

    In order to stream music from iTunes (Windows Desktop) to AirPort Express, do both have to be connected via WiFi network? What if both are connected via same wired network.
    My iTunes cannot see AirPort Express connected to the same network.
    thanks,

    Airport utility installed on my PC (Win Vista) cannot detect AA. It communicates only when I enter the IP address of AA. After that I have configured the AA in Bridge mode. AA has wired connection with Linksys Router.PC is connected with the same router.
    iPod Touch can easily detect AA and can stream music to it too.

  • Can't stream Music from iTunes to my Apple TV

    I bought an ATV for the sole purpose of being able to stream music from my PC iTunes account to my Samsung smart TV.  As it turns out, that is the one thing my ATV will not do.  I have had my ATV for about three months and have never been able to stream music to it from my PC.  I do not see my ATV as a device in iTunes and I do not have the airplay icon visible in iTunes
    Gear
    3rd generation ATV
    PC running Windows 7
    Here are some things which work fine on the ATV:
    Netflix works perfectly e.g., it sees my wifi network
    Youtube works perfectly
    Under Music I can see the 2 songs my wife purchased from the iTunes store – I purchase all my music from Amazon.
    Things I have done
    Turned Home Sharing on and am using the same account in iTunes and on my ATV
    Reinstalled iTunes – 11.0.2.26
    Updated ATV to latest software
    Rebooted my computer – several times
    Rebooted my router – several times
    How do I resolve this issue?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I tried a new approach and unplugged my ATV brought it over to my computer and connected it to my router via ethernet.  This caused the airplay icon to show up on the transport bar in iTunes.  I could select the ATV as an output.  I disconnected the ethernet cable and reconnected the ATV to my TV.  The airplay icon remains in iTunes but the ATV is no longer there as an option - only my computer speakers.  Any ideas?

  • How can i stream music from itunes (ipad or MacBookPro) to Apple TV 2nd Gen?

    How can i stream (not sync) music from itunes (ipad or mac) to an AppleTV 2nd gen?? thanks..

    No, not directly.. but to get the movies onto your iPad you need to sync them on there from your computer running iTunes.. you can likewise sync those same movies from your computer running iTunes to the appleTV..
    i create a playlist of all the videos on my iPad (mostly for kids movies they are interested in right now).. so to put those same movies on my appleTV i would just define the sync to appleTV to include that playlist..
