Streaming music from itunes to apple tv wirelessly skips

I am dying. I have spent hours and hundreds of dollars trying to improve the streaming quality to my apple tv. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have a Dell XPS Laptop(1 year old) running the latest version of Itunes. It has windows Vista 32 bit and the firewall software is off. I originally tried to connect wireless but symptoms of skipping were present so I hard wired it to the airport extreme. All my music is stored on a two terabyte external sygate drive. I have an airport extreme, because I suspected my netgear router originally, and an airport express to extend the range.(Probably unnecessary). The skipping reduced a little bit when I made the switch to hardwiring the computer. I have an apple tv that is up to date with software and I use an ipod touch to control the whole thing using the apple tv as a multiple speaker choice. I consider myself to be proficient at troubleshooting but this one has me perplexed... There are no virus programs on the computer now because I thought maybe they were the cause. I am going to try to select the music from the apple tv menu tonight to see if it makes a difference but I simply refuse to believe I have to sync my music to make it work. Any ideas?

have you considered _*wireless interference*_ as the source for your issue ?
try changing the channel your router is broadcasting on.

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.

Moving music from iTunes to iPhone 4 wirelessly

I am wondering if it is possible to move music from itunes to iphone 4 wirelessly. I know that it is possible to move music purchased FROM ITUNES to different devices wirelessly. But what if I import a cd from my collection?
So I guess my real question is: Is it possible to move music NOT PURCHASED FROM ITUNES and already in my library, to my iPhone 4 wirelessly? If so, how?
Thank you.

My bad. i meant itunes from my computer, to my iphone 4! i cant get that to sync over. IM losin my mind here people!

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 you buy music from itunes in apple tv 3rd generation?

Can you buy music from itunes in apple tv 3rd generation?

We are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know if/when Apple might open an iTunes store in Uruguay until Apple announce something - presumably not enough record companies/rights-holders have yet granted Apple licenses for their music for Uruguay.

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..

Streaming music from iTunes 09 (Snow Leopard) to AirPort Express

Hi! I'm an elementary music teacher who travels to several schools. To make my life simpler, I set up airport express base express stations in my schools. This way, I don't have to worry about plugging and unplugging cables and running cables all over the room. Until my update to Snow Leopard and iTunes 9, this worked flawlessly! Now, I have major audio problems! I end up changing the channel and updating on my basestations, and that only solves the problem sometimes. On an "unofficial" Apple forum I found a post that mentions selecting "Multiple Speakers" to solve the problem, by streaming the music as well as playing it through the speakers on my MacBook Pro. Again, it only helps sometimes. Does anyone have a work around? I spoke with Apple Tech Support a few nights ago. They had me reset the PRAM and some other things, but that didn't help either. I don't suppose there's a way I could get iTunes 8 back on my machine either... Any help or suggestions anyone has would be greatly appreciated! Also, is there some way to let APple know directly this is a problem that they need to get an update to fix?
Thanks!
Paul

it doesn't work with mp3 either ...
i can't stream music from my iMac G5 (10.5.8, iTunes 10.2.1) and from my macbook pro (10.6.7., iTunes 10.2.1). I tryed two diffrent Airport Express Stations, both reseted just to be sure and non of them can't connect with iTunes. iTunes tries to connect and after several minutes it just gives up.
Airplay via iPhone works !

can you stream music from a cd over the airport express from itunes without ripping tracks into a playlist

Yes you can.

5.1 streamed music from iTunes

Ok, might be a stupid question, but I cant find a answer.
If I stream my music from iTunes, to my AppleTV, which will be hooked up to my amp via HDMI, will the music play through all 5 speakers?
I understand that the music will be recorded in stereo, so will therefore never be true 5.1, but i just want sound from all speakers?
My xbox 360 cannot do this, and i figure its gonna be easier to find my music on my iphone with the remote app then using a controller to scroll.
Thanks

no. music is stereo so will only come from the left and right speakers.

why would you want to distort the music to force it to come from all speakers when is stereo and designed to 2 channels.

Intermittent issue streaming music from iTunes to airport express

I'm experiencing an issue when streaming music from my iMac to two airport expresses (1st generation). Music will be playing fine but once in a great while, when a new song starts it's like a digital bomb has gone off. It's similar to an amber alert coming through the speakers instead of music. When I stop the song and start it again, back comes the music. This has happened to many different song files so I've discounted the possibility that it's a corrupted file. I've not been able to determine any other pattern that would give me some insight into the root of the problem. The problem has existed across two different routers so doubtful that’s a factor either. All my software (iTunes and OS) are up to date and generally the system works well. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions or advice? I’m at a loss on how to resolve.

Update: this problem exists when just listening to music on iMac with iTues; no airport express or network involved. Something, somewhere in the software is causing this.

Streaming Films and music from iTunes to apple tv stops after a while

I have two apple TVs second gen and when I have been streaming music or movies to one of them I find that the films or music play for about 10 minutes or so but then stop. After that nothing can connect to my wireless network including phones, laptop, iPad or apple tv.
I have tried streaming a movie from my iPad using file browser app but suffer the same problem. I have only been able to rectify this by resetting the apple tv. I have also had many conversations with my servic provider but the problem seems to be only when using apple tv as I can stream to my laptop or phone perfectly fine. Can anyone please help me as I have spent lots of time converting my DVD collection to mp4v only to not be able to watch a full film!!
I have been told there is an issue between apple tv and iTunes. Thanks in any advance.

As an update, I can confirm I watched a film last night on my apple tv2 and it played all the way through without a hick up. I changed a couple of things so can't be sure what worked but what I did was:
1 changed the channel by broadband comes in on to improve signal (that said I dont know if the one I'm using is right).
2 reset my external WD my book live to re-sync with the router
3 turned off the option allowing my mac book pro to go to sleep and turn the internal HDD to sleep when possible in the power saving menu.
4 shouted at it and made degrading remarks about the efficiency of apple products compared to the floor less performance (although less glamourous look) of my WD tv live box which works without hick up btw. Although cannot play iTunes downloaded files...who to blame.
And it seemed to work. For now I am happier than I was but still not convinced it will serve me as well as I would like but here's to the here and now...watch this space.

Cannot stream movies from itunes to apple tv 1st generation

Hi,
I have an apple tv 1st generation and whenever I'm renting movies I would like to play them via streaming on my TV. Unfortunately I have to wait until it's fully downloaded and then I have to transfer them to the Apple tv.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to be able to stream rented movies from Itunes to the apple TV without having to wait until it's fully downloaded?
I'm using a macbook pro with mac OS X 10.6.8.
Any help would be so much appreciated.
Thank you.

If you rent via your Mac then you have to wait until it's full loaded. If you would like to stream then rent directly on the Apple TV

Problem with streaming music from iTunes to iPhone

Hello all, I have a problem for which I have not been able to find a solution despite multiple Google searches. I can't seem to access ALL my music from the Macbook Pro (13", 2011, latest OSX) on my iPhone 5. I've turned on home sharing on iTunes. From the music app, I can access my library from my iPhone. The problem is, several songs are missing from the library! I just can't seem to make all of my iTunes music available for streaming (I have 30+ gigs worth of music on my Mac).
Strangely enough, all of my music is accessible from my AppleTV. In fact, using the Remote app on my iPhone, I can my iTunes library in its entirety. The problem is, the Remote app only lets you stream to the AppleTV or play the music on the computer speakers. Sometimes, I just want to stream the music to the iPhone so I can llisten to it through headphones.
Is there a solution to this problem? Is there a limit on how much music the iPhone can access over WiFi? That doesn't seem to be a problem for AppleTV.

My music has been accumulated over many years and is from multiple sources. Most of the missing songs were not purchased from iTunes and I've only ever had one AppleID. The thing is though....most of the available songs were also not purchased from iTunes.
