"This Library Contains No Content"- connected but content lost after sleep.

Hi,
I am using the second generation Apple TV (with the current updates) and streaming my iTunes library from a fairly new iMac with all current updates (10.6.7). After a period of iMac sleep and not using the Apple TV for a few hours all of my library's content goes missing from my Apple TV. I see the connection to my computer's iTunes library and when I click to it there is a list (music, movies, tv shows etc.) but no graphics and when I choose music, movies, or tv shows etc. I get a message that "the library has no content".
I can use screen sharing from my Macbook or iPhone or iPad and see iTunes on my iMac looking and behaving correctly, but if I want to get content to stream back to the Apple TV I need to close iTunes on the iMac and re-open it. This puzzles me because it wont restore content when the iMac has woken from sleep even if I wait a few minutes or so. As soon as I close iTunes on the iMac (usually through screen sharing) the connection on Apple TV disappears so I know it was connected and once I restart iTunes the connection immediately reappears and then all works fine I have this issue every day now and it's puzzling to me.

Yep, same issue here guys. I am running a 21.5 iMac connected via Ethernet to a Time Capsule which wirelessly talks to 2 x Apple TV MK 2's. All is new kit and running the latest operating system / firmware updates.
Same issue as above which is VERY annoying as I'm using it every day - I keep having to turn home sharing off & back on to 're-awaken' my library. C'MON APPLE, SORT THIS OUT! This is an elementary feature of this system (did they not do a basic field test before launching the software updates?).
I am going to call Apple Support to tell them to look at this thread - needs sorting ASAP. Suggest anyone who also has this issue does likewise then they are more likely to do it as a priority. Not good when I'm trying to convert the missus to everything Apple...

  • Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly   Thanks anyway!

  • TS3276 iCloud email on OSX 10.8 does not connect to the server after sleep

    iCloud email on OSX 10.8 does not connect to the server after sleep.  The only way I can reconnect the iCloud email is to restart the computer. Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this issue?

    I would suggest you try opening "Mail">click on "Mailboxes" in the Menu Bar> and select "Rebuild" from the list.  That may solve it.

  • IPhoto library contains lots of gb but will not open pictures after upgrade to iPhoto ´11

    Upgraded from iPhoto ´08 to iPhoto ´11 (9.5.1) and to OS Maverick (10.9.1).
    In "Finder" the library still seem to contain lots of gigabytes of data, but when iPhoto open the library it reads 0 photos. I have tried rebuilt (option+cmd key when opening iPhoto), iPhoto library manager, I have purchased aperture which acts just like iPhoto. Quite a few pictures missing, starting to become desperate - anyone with other ideas? Any help appreciated!
    Thomas

    Give this a try:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

    We had a power outage.  Wireless connection disrupted and did not correct itself as in the past.
    A MAC and an android os phone will connect but not PC's with different operating systems.
    Hardwired computers will connect and go on the internet but not when try wirelessly on windows PC's.
    I have a comcast modem and a e4200 wireless router.
    Tried repowering modem and router.
    Tried disconnecting Cisco on computers and then reconnecting to wireless connection.
    Sometimes laptops will discover the Cisco and show excellent strength of signal but will not connect.
    Wireless is active on the laptops.
    Not sure what has changed to cause this for the win PC's only.  (IP?etc?)
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    I read thru some article about the E4200
    Reset
    This button allows you to reset the router to its factory defaults.  Press and hold the Reset button for approximately 10 seconds.  This button is located between the USB and Power ports.  As an alternative, you can restore the defaults from the Administration tab > Factory Defaults sub-tab in the router’s web-based setup page.

  • G580(2189) Wi-Fi doesn't want to connect to a network after sleep.

    Hi.
    My G580(2189) don't want to connect to a Wi-Fi network after sleep. It's not just my network at home, but at work and other points of interest as well. It usually after a reboot it works again. And sometimes, al tho rarely after just going back to sleep and waking it up again.
    I've tried updating drivers, but always been confused to what hardware is being used in this laptop since it just says "broadcom" or something.
    I did update my device to Win 8.1. But I'm pretty sure I had this problem before that tho.
    And I tried to contact Lenovo support, since I'm not really a forum-kind-of-guy. But their support site it so confusing for simple person to person contact.
    Tanks in advance for any advice.

    hi Paverx,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Can you try enabling Hybrid Sleep and see if that works,
    Let me know your findings.

  • Airport connection lost after sleep mode

    Hello everbody,
    Each time I send my PowerMac G4 MDD Dual 867 to sleep it won't to connect to my (or rather to any) Airport network anymore after waking up, it just seems as if Airport is completely defunct after waking up.
    My iBook G4 works without any problems on the same network, by the way.
    I know the workaround with restarting IPv4 networking (described here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1122310&#1122310) and I have also created an AppleScript for automatising this process, however I am still wondering, if this issue will ever be addressed by Apple, since it is still present for me in 10.4.6.
    Best regards,
    Björn Wilmsmann
    PowerMac G4 MDD Dual 867 with standard Airport card   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Okay, this might not solve your problem, but I had a similar problem when I switched from WPA2 to WEP on my Airport, therefore also changing the password which again somehow got my Powerbook confused.
    I went into System Preferences > Network > Airport and looked at my "Preferred Networks" list (Not "By default, join..." > "Automatic"). Then I edited my airport network in that list (the small "Edit" button) and I saw that the password somehow was corrupted. When I corrected this error my Powerbook began joining automatically after sleeping again. Strangely, this setting has nothing to do with the Keychain Access, even though you can find your base station's password there too...
    Oh, and I might add: My airport is on a closed network and is therefore not "visible"...

  • Cannot auto-connect to wi-fi after sleep

    I'm having troubles to reconnect to wi-fi once iPhone 3G goes to sleep mode (once auto-lock is activated when not being used for 1 minute).
    This started to happen after 2.1 update.
    My son's iPhone 3G which is still running version 2 firmware does not suffer from this.
    We have a Belkin wi-fi router in house and when connected the signal strength is full all around the house, but whenever I "wake-up" my iPhone from Sleep mode, it instantly connects to 3G and never auto-connects to wi-fi (even when I'm standing next to the router). It can see and finds the router (under wi-fi settings) but is refusing to connect to it even when I select it.
    I have to force this by switching on and off the airplane mode, then it reconnects to wi-fi instantly with full strength.
    This useless excercise is so frustrating, especially considering that local provider Telstra is charging $2 per MB for casual use
    of data on their 3G network and my iPhone is just happily eating up costly 3G bandwidth when I have a 4 mbits/sec internet connection over home wi-fi network.
    Anybody else noticed this after 2.1 upgrade ?
    Router is configured for WEP encryption, I've already rebooted my iPhone and the router.
    Cheers

    I noticed that it takes a few seconds longer to reconnect to wi-fi after sleep, but it has consistently connected.

  • Why is wifi connection lost after sleep/wake mode?

    I've had this iMac a little over a year and had not experienced this until a few days ago.  Every time my computer comes out of sleep mode the wifi is no longer connected.  I must turn it off wifi and turn it back on again to re-establish a connection.  Any suggestions? Thx!

    Hello tim290,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like after the computer wakes from sleep it does not connect to the internet. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support
    Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
    After waking from sleep or starting up, your computer may not show that it is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    After start or wake, your computer may indicate that it is connected to a network, but does not connect to the Internet.
    Solution
    Use these steps if your computer does not automatically connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    Choose Network from the View menu.
    Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
    Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
    Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.
    Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
    Select each network and click the minus (-) sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
    Click OK and close the Network preferences.
    Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility.
    Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
    Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
    Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
    Restart your computer.
    Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • Connection lost after sleep mode

    When my computer comes out of sleep mode, it's not connecting to the Airport wireless connection.  Waiting doesn't seeme to matter...the icon on my iMac (upper right on screen) shows no connection.  I have to manually turn off Airport and turn it back on to get it to connect (turning it off and on using the icon).
    I have made zero changes to my system, other than that we moved to a new home.  No equipment changes...no settings changes.  What the heck is going on to cause it to no longer connect when coming out of sleep mode?  And more importantly, how do I fix that?  Thanks very much!

    Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

  • Wireless connection not restored immediately after sleep

    Hi,
    Since I have updated to Mavericks (OS X 10.9.1), my wireless connection doesn't restore automatically anymore after sleep.
    This recently also started to happen when I boot my computer. I always have to click the wifi icon, select my network and then it still says "can't connect to network".
    When I click the wifi icon and select my network a second time, it works.
    I have tried setting the order of network services (WiFi first, then Bluetooth and finally Thunderbolt bridge), deleting my saved home network and adding it again, deleting all other saved wireless networks.
    What can I do to fix this?
    Thank you.

    Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
    Remember networks this computer has joined
    is checked.
    2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
    3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
    5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    6. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
    7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
    8. Reset the System Management Controller.
    9. Reset the PRAM.
    10. Reinstall OS X.

  • HT1750 network connection is randomly disconnected after sleep.

    I have a iMac OS X (10.5.8) I purchased in 2009 brand new.  For the last 6 months, I have to go thru network diagnostics to verify my network name and re-enter my password for the network.  I have an Ipad, Ipod, and laptop PC that have no issues connecting to the network after I have contacted my network to troubleshoot problem, it is not the network.  My system software is currently up to date, I did notice that 10.7 Lion had a software update for this problem that I am experiencing.  Can anyone give me a solution to troubleshoot this problem?

    Possible fixes...

  • Server connections are lost after sleep mode with Mavericks.

    Ever since I "upgraded" to Mavericks, when I "wake" my iMac after putting it in Sleep mode, the network connections have disconnected and I have to re-connect all of them (6) every day. This never happened with Mountain Lion or any other previous version of OS X. Is there a fix for this?

    I've also noticed this problem. Brand new MBP with Mavericks, goes to sleep, on wakeup all my network drives are disconnected, as is Outlook 2011. None of them recover gracefully - I have to manually reconnect. Aggravating..
