Streaming to iTunes, makes Wireless intermittant?

Hi,
I stream music from iTunes to my Express (but I also have tried to my Apple TV - which I thought was causing the problem initially), however, sometimes, not for a few hours, the wireless will simply stop working.
It's still connected with full signal bars and link speed of around 130Mbit/s but no data. I am not able to ping any other devices on the network including the router or Airport Extreme.
All other computers can still access the internet and each other just fine.
To get connectivity back, I have to either disable/re enable airport or renew my DHCP lease (our leases are set for years, so it has not expired either).
This also happens on another MacBook Pro (Uni). I have tried multiple wireless APs (Apple Extreme and Draytek 2080n) without any joy.
I can only really say this started happening after I got these new MBPs.. along with the "trasmitting alot of data over wireless, bluetooth (for mice) becomes very laggy" problem.
Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated.
Matt

You could try syncing your music from your itunes onto your phone, then playing it to the bose sound touch through your iphone, there is an app for the bose sound touch systems in the app store.
You cant actually stream music through the iCloud, downloading it from the cloud would be the same as syncing it from your itunes library.
Altough you could stream from iTunes Radio, (if it is avaialble in your country)

Streaming through Netgear router wirelessly into AE

Here is what I want to do: Use iTunes on Apple (and iTunes on my Dell) to stream music through my wireless network (consistent of a Netgear router connected to the Internet through DSL) into the AirportExtreme.
Went through Airport Setup, could then see the Airport Express in iTunes but that overwrote the Netgear configuration and I could not go on the Internet anymore.
How do I get the Airport Express to hook up wirelessly through my existing wireless network?
Help needed

While connected to the ethernet network (both the computer and the AX), reset the AX and reconfigure it to connect to your network using the AirPort Admin Utility. Deselect the option that says to Share a Single IP Address Using NAT and DHCP. The AX should RECEIVE its IP address using DHCP. Make sure Enable AirTunes and Enable of Ethernet are checked.

HT4363 I can no longer stream my iTunes into my Apple TV. Help!

I can no longer stream my iTunes into my Apple TV. It has worked before, but Apple TV is not recognizing my iTunes library any longer. It keeps telling me to make sure it's turned on on my computer. It is. And yes, the accounts match, etc. But it no longer recognizes my iTunes library. I can play all the stuff purchased through iTunes fine. I just can stream my main library any longer. Very very frustrated.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried restarting the router, the Apple TV and iTunes.

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.

Purchased iTunes alert tones intermittently working.Please help. I'm on iOS 8 with 6 plus phone.

Purchased iTunes alert tones intermittently working. Initially they worked and now occasionally work. They are there and alert tone can be seen/heard and is set to it but keep hearing the standard message alert tone. Please help. I'm on iOS 8 with 6 plus phone. Thanks.

It is working through your iPhone 6 through the Continuity feature. This allows any device that is logged in to your Apple ID and connected to the same WiFi network to make and receive calls through your iPhone. If this is not useful to you go to the settings for Facetime and turn off iPhone cellular calls.

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.

Streaming rented iTunes movie to ATV2 from Mac

I rented a movie from iTunes and downloaded it to my Mac — with the idea that I could elect to view it on either my iPod or stream it to my ATV2. I chose to do the latter, but no go. Apple says (or seems to say) that you must own the iTunes movie to be able to stream it to the ATV2. When I bought the ATV2 at my Apple store, I was emphatically told that "If it's in your iTunes library, you can stream it to your ATV2." Since the direct streaming from iTunes to ATV2 has significant issues (stalling part way through even on a fast line), I thought a direct download to my Mac was the answer — to be streamed from there via my network. What the #*^^ is the truth about this. In another post in this forum, a person says he is regularly doing such streaming of a rented iTunes item that he has downloaded to his Mac!

OK — I've gotten things resolved. Unplugged and replugged the ATV2 for a reset. Now everything streams just fine — even a rented iTunes movie from my Mac. Too, I have now gone into the ATV2 settings and instructed it to select standard (non-HD) movies for rentals. This is many times faster and on our large flat screen Sony, I see no difference. In any case, HD or not, the wise thing to do is to do your download well in advance of viewing — i.e. hours. The flash memory in the ATV2 should hold it for at least 48 hours (or so Apple Support tells me). As it turns out, "streaming", even with a 10 mb line and an "N" wireless system, streaming is not exactly streaming. But it comes closer to it if you select non-HD movies.

I have enabled homesharing in iTunes (from the advanced menu) and then used the same details when enabling homesharing on the Apple TV (settings computers), but I still can't stream my itunes to ATV. Does anyone have suggestions to resolve?

I Am having the same issue. Ie on the password issue.
I Am using a Macpro though.
i Have had no issues with the setup until recently.
However I think the hard drive is starting to fail as it keeps on losing the wireless connection and gas been stuttering a lot on playback.

ITunes Makes Me Log in Every Time I Open It

iTunes v. 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite updates recently installed. 2012 27" iMac
iTunes makes me log in every time I open it. I thought the problem was fixed in THIS THREAD and it was a very helpful set of instructions by Linc but the problem keeps recurring.
I reposted the question in that thread, but since the thread is marked as solved I'm afraid no one will see it. So I'm reposting here.
Situation:
Upon opening iTunes I get messages popping up telling me to
Sign in to iTunes to use this computer for automatic downloads
Sign in to iTunes for iTunes Radio to use autodowload
Sign in to iTunes to check for downloads
(repeat of) Sign in to iTunes to use this computer for automatic downloads
Sign in to use iTunes Store
These happen one after another, rapidly. Every time. I called Apple help as well and they didn't have any further help.
I've repaired permissions, trashed my plist for iTunes from my Library, done all of Linc's instruction in the other thread.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
          Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

How can I stream my iTunes library to my iPhone or iPad?

How can I stream my iTunes library to my iPhone or iPad?

Thank you so much for the replies.
Thanks all it took for me to discover that my Sign In was wrong.
I was using my regular email of ******@Gmail.com instead of correctly using ******@me.com!
It then went through without a hitch.
All is well.

Is it possible to create a link that I can place on a website to an internet radio stream on iTunes?

Is it possible to create a link that I can place on a website to an internet radio stream on iTunes?

Yes, but it WON'T play through the browser. It'll require any visitor who clicks it to have iTunes installed, and it'll open iTunes as soon as they do.

Itunes and wireless devices no longer show up in upper right corner of itunes window

Help! My Internet service was interupted last week and when it returned my iTunes and wireless devices no longer show up in upper right corner of the iTunes window. I finally figured out how to get both of my wireless devices to show up on the left hand column under devices, but nothing else shows up now in the upper right corner! I cannot for the life of me figure this one out and the tech manual is not helping at all. Help!

If you have the left-hand sidebar showing then that is where the store and your devices will show can be selected - if you press option-command-S if you are using a Mac, control-S on a PC, then the sidebar should be hidden and the store and device should go back to the top right. Is that what you mean ?

I have an older od that streams my iTunes and my iPhone 4s used to, but now my iPhone will not stream. What can I do to get streaming back on my iPhone?

I have an older iPod touch that streams my iTunes with iTunes match. My iPhone 4s used to stream as well. Since updating my iPhone I can no longer stream to my phone. Is there a way to back date my operating system on my iPhone so I can stream again or is there an update coming to enable streaming in the near future?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?
