Streaming Audio Works Fine...But Won't Stream Video

Just bought an ATV2 earlier today, and I'm experiencing an odd problem: I can stream audio but not video.
My Mac desktop computer is in a different room from my ATV2 and TV setup. I downloaded the Remote App onto my iPhone, turned on Home Sharing, and things work fine for the most part. When I use the Remote App to stream music and audio podcasts to my TV, I have no problem. But when I try to stream video from iTunes (including movies, music videos, and TV shows I purchased in iTunes on the computer) the videos start playing on the computer instead of the TV.
In other words, the Remote App on my iPhone seems to be controlling the ATV2 for audio content, but it's controlling the computer for video content.
All my video content in iTunes is in the .MP4 format. Can't figure out what step or setting I might be missing.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
Eric

Solved the issue by upgrading to iTunes 10.

TWRING,
Help has arrived! Since the device is currently on pre-order when processing the order online it will only recognize the line eligible. Once you receive the device you may activate it on another line if needed.

Movies in iTunes works fine but won't play on Apple Tv

So I have a couple of movies that works fine in my iTunes and won't work when streamed in my Apple Tv (2gen)
The first just doesn't start and the second one have audio problems.
iTunes is on a Macbook Pro 15'' Late 2011 high end via my Time Capsule in my Apple Tv second generation
And again, the movies are playing just fine on my computer ... it's when they are streamed that the problem happen. By the way it's not my connection, everything has been checked up on this side... And everything is up to date
Anyone ? ... thanks

OOur internet service is not always fast enough to stream directly on Apple TV which is why we want to use AirPlay from the iPad to Apple TV. When we try to play a movie it starts for one second and then crashes out. This does not happen with every TV show - we watched 8 episodes of Season 4 with no problem, but it would not play episode 9 or episode 1 of season 5.

Airport used to work fine, but won't connect to internet now

Hello. I bought my Macbook pro about two weeks ago and never had problems with my internet connection. I moved last week to another city, and had my wi-fi installed today. My brother has a Powerbook G4 and it worked fine with the new connection, but my Mac won't; it won't connect automatically when I turn the computer on and when I click on "open network preferences", nothing happens. I already got connected by clicking on Network Diagnostic in Safari, but i'd like to do so without going through all that everytime I need to get on the internet.
Can anybody help me to fix this problem? I'd really appreciate that. Thanks in advance.

Tell us about your network. How are you connected to the internet? Cable modem, DSL?... Is there a router involved? Which one is it? System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP are you getting an IP address?

Podcast feed works fine, but won't submit. Why?!

Hi,
I have been trying to submit my podcast to iTunes, but for some reason it won't accept it.
www.firestationartscentre.com/podcasts/strange_and_beautiful/feed.xml
The feed works fine with a manual subscribe, all episodes show up fine, but I get a 500 error everytime I try to submit it.
Any ideas please!?!
Very frustrated,
Dan

Of course it's not something I can test; possibly there is a glitch going on at the server, in which case it will probably sort itself if you wait a bit. I should give it until tomorrow: if it doesn't sort itself out I can only suggest emailing them at podcasts 'at' apple.com (though you may just get a form email telling you how to submit a podcast, which you already know).

My ipod works fine, but won't connect to my car anymore. It did for two years, I have had the car checked out, and the car works with others' ipods and iphones.

My Audi is set up to be iPod compatible. For the first two years of the cars' life, my ipod worked fine. When it went out, I had the dealer replace the connection wire and check the system. My car now works fine with iphones and others' ipods, but not mine. I tried rebooting it and powering down, but nothing has worked to get the car to recognize the ipod. Would really appreciate anyone's thoughts on the matter. Many thanks.

So you tried everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Try connecting to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

Airport Express wireless network works fine, but won't connect to Internet

I had a power outage and since then my Airport Express doesn't connect to the Internet although everything else seems to work. I can see the AE just fine in the Airport Utility. My computer connects to the wireless network provided via the AE, so does my iPhone, so does my wireless printer, and I can print wirelessly from the computer to the printer, so the AE's wireless networking is working. If I directly connect my computer to the ethernet connection that I use for the AE, it connects to the Internet, so I have wired connectivity to the Internet. But somehow, I can't get to the Internet using the wireless network of the AE. Any suggestions on what I should try next?

Hi there,
Try to reset your Airport Express (AX), y pressing the little dot on the back of device. Keep pressed for some seconds until it flashes. Start then your Airport Utility and go through the setup process again. This will reset your whole wireless network. This may work for you. Good luck.

I created a slideshow on Smilebox, when sent to IDVD the audio was fine but there was no video, help.

I created a slideshow on Smilebox and sent it to IDVD, it only recorded the audio not the pictures, any suggestions? I really need this done in the next couple of days so I can mail it for Mother's Day

Smilebox probably doesn't create a movie file in the proper format. I note that Smilebox has their own DVD creation software for both PCs and Macs; why not use it?

HT1338 my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore.

my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore. I've re-installed iTunes, the latest version for Tiger, I've reset and restored my iPod. The ipod shows up fine in the source banner and I can transfer files to it, however when I unplug the iPod the files are not there.

Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder. If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application. Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

FM Transmitter used to work fine but stopped working, bought 2 new ones and neither work, they work with other Ipods in the house, IPOD Usb syncs fine with Computer, why won't it work with the FM transmitters anymore?

Are the other iPods models, same version as yours. The 2 New FM Tx may need a new iPod software, which you can update via iTunes.
Good Luck!

I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1. Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

My purpose for copying to a CD or DVD is so that I can make copies and send to friends and relatives. What is the best way to get these files on a CD/DVD with the right codecs?
The easiest thing to do is to simply tell your friends and relatives to copy the files to their local hard drive before playing them. Your basic problem is that data discs have a limited real time transfer rate. Since you say VLC plays the files fine, I might suspect its player is likely buffering the data while the QT 7 Player is not.
Data discs made for playback directly from the CD or DVD are normally encoded using MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video with AAC audio. This is a modern codec which has specific settings to re-package the data (i.e., must be encoded using the multipass option and then select the "optimize for CD/DVD" option).

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and help. Ended up logging out of my apple ID account. Of note, when I did I did a quick test and checked out both the movies and tv show options, and it all worked perfectly. I then logged back in, and now all my purchased and rentals are available which makes sense. I guess with the update there was some weird bit of trons that required one to log out then back in. Probably doing a rest in between may not hurt for some. Thanks again for all the assistance. Cheers.
It looks like there is a Apple doc for this problem here -> Apple TV: Unable to access Movies, TV Shows, or other iTunes features after updating

HT204291 I cannot get video to play from my iPad. I don't use this function often but it do work several upgrades ago. The audio plays fine but no video....... Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

I do not use the function very often but AirPlay has worked fine in the past (several OS updates ago on both iPad and apple tv). The audio plays fine but no video???? Any suggestions.

interesting...... you know i tried other media and it worked fine. i was trying to play 'amazon instant video'. when you say 'blocked ... by the providor' it seems to me that Amazon would have no interest in restricting the play. is it the producer of the content that resticts the play through some form of licensing or is it apple that restricts amazon play by limiting access to technology? either way its anti-competitive.

Hi Forum, can u please help? iRecently bought a mac pro & my garageband 11 was working fine but now it's showing a question mark in the dock but it won't open. I think it may have been accidentally trashed. I've searched the trash & spotlighted. What now?

How did you install GarageBand on your Mac? Did it come preinstalled with the other iLife applications?
If your MacOS supports the AppStore, you should be able to redownload GarageBand from the AppStore, see this support Article: OS X: About OS X Recovery on how to download again:
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.
Regards
Léonie
