Streaming from iTunes on laptop overheats the laptop

Hello,
I am streaming video podcasts from my macbook pro to my apple tv. Macbook pro is connected wirelessly.
Not doing anything else on the macbook pro and it heats up to about 65 degrees in no time. Is this expected?
Any way to reduce this overheating? Many thanks.

Sorry my friend, by the firewall is the problem. When it is switched on AirTunes does not stream and when it is switched off it works fine. I, and it seems others on this forum, have checked this a number of times - I did at least a dozen of times or so. Firewalls are not just on the border of the network as you seem suggesting, but they can also protect an individual machine and each comes with its own application and/or ipfw firewall.
There is no question about the fact that the *OS X Server* Firewall/AirTunes have an incompatibility, the question is how to resolve it...
Thanks for trying anyway.

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.

I can't read my eBooks I purchase from iTunes on my desktop or laptop. Do I need to go Amazon? Kindle?

Is there a future upgrade or availability to read eBooks purchased from iTunes on my desktop or laptop Mac?
If not, I am just going to get the free Kindle application and buy all of my ebooks from Amazon as I can read them on any Mac.
I purchased a book from Apple yesterday so that I could read it as a break during my work day at my office and it would not open. I checked and sure enough, you can't read books on your desktop Mac using Apple software. I tried the Adobe Digital software and a couple of others but the protection on the ebook prevented anything but my iPad or, if I had one, iPhone from reading it.
Considering that I spent many thousands on getting the best Macs for work and only hundreds on the pad, it is just a little irritating that I can't read a book on the pro machinery but can on the consumer toy.

We don't know what Apple plans on doing to change this (and it may not be just Apple but more likely the publishers, since Apple would, of course, do whatever it could to maximize sales/profits). Right now you can only read Apple books on mobile devices. Sure, buy them from Amazon if you want to read them on the computer. We don't work for Apple so we're pretty impartial on this kind of advice.
You might also see what your library can offer. My wife can browse the county library from her iPhone, borrow e-versions, and read books on it too. Free!

My laptop computer was stolen six months ago. I had over 100 purchases from itunes on that laptop. I recently got a new laptop. Is there any way I can recover my purchases from itunes on to my new laptop?

I would ask here

when you buy stuff it's connected to the appleID not the computer
nor the appletv which have no storage so there is no option to get it from the atv

I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers

Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated permit_mynetworks check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access reject_non_fqdn_hostname reject_invalid_hostname permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
However, that's not the problem.
I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions. You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up. Private/policy I think relates to grey listing. Maybe gives you a hint.

When Lion officially comes out from the Mac App Store, I understand that I can just buy it from there. However, will the laptops have Lion automatically? Or does it come with Snow leopard still.

The ones sold that day will come with Snow Leopard most likely but they will be able to get a free upgrade to LIon if they apply within 30 days. Hardware coming through the supply chain from the day of the announcement will have Lion installed so it depends what stock people have to move before buyers see those.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

IPad 3 movie streaming from iTunes on fast internet stutters

When playing movies that I bought streamed from iTunes Store on my ipad 3 the audio is smooth but the video stutters badly. I have a very fast internet connection

Me too. Maddening!

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.

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.

HT4914 Why when my play lists from itunes go into icloud, the song list are backwards?

Why, when my playlists from itunes go to icloud, the songs in the playlists are backwards? any idea...both my iphone 5 and ipad 4 retna

Sounds like you are trying to stream the songs vice having them downloaded to th iPod.
First go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and turn OFF SHOW ALL
If still 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.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

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.

Prevent sleeping when streaming from iTunes to Apple TV ...

Hi,
Streaming to the Apple TV from iTunes does not reset the system's idle time, so it does not prevent the computer from falling asleep in the middle of a movie presentation. Monitoring iTunes CPU usage with an AppleScript handler does not work either ... the CPU usage is not amplified when iTunes is streaming to the Apple TV ... gosh !!
I created a not so perfect work around. I use Caffeine that resets the computer's idle time. Being a manual intervention, it is not a perfect. I am still looking for a better one, in order to prevent these 2 problems:
(1) I would like to find a way (shell script ???) to detect iTunes/Apple TV's streaming activity automaticaly: this way I could monitor the computer's idle time; not requiring the manual intervention of activating Caffeine is basic ... you realize the importance of this when the streaming stops in the middle of a projection and when you have to go in the den to awake your computer because you forgot to activate Caffeine; it is more frustrating, if you forget that repeatedly;
(2) while streaming to the Apple TV, the screen saver should be activated without allowing the sleep process.
These 2 could easely be done by reseting the system's idle time when streaming. It should be a standard iTunes/Apple TV features, nor requiring any work around.
Well ... hoping this will help to bring a more perfect solution.
Regards.

Make sure DNS is set to auto (setting - general - network)
Try ethernet

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)
