Trouble Streaming shows from Macbook Air to AppleTV

Every time I try to stream a television show, movie, etc. to my AppleTV that was purchased from iTunes on my MacBook Air, the content is so choppy as to be unwatchable. Oddly, the blue bar at the bottom of the display on AppleTV indicates that the show is fully "spooled up." Still, the shows pause randomly and very frequently. The pauses sometime last as long as a minute or more.
This has only started recently and I have not made any significant changes to my Air or network. My home wireless network is comprised of a Time Machine and Airport Express.
Is this is problem with my Air, AppleTV, Time Machine, Airport Express, or a combination of the above? It seems like there should be a simple fix for this.
Any ideas?

If this only started recently, try restarting all your equipment, if the problem persists you may be encountering interference from another device, try changing the wifi channel that your network operates over.

  • Streaming pics from Macbook Air onto iPad

    Hi all
    I recently delved into the world of the iPad. Now I've had a play around and got myself set up but I have one question.
    On my Macbook Air (iPhoto) and on my NAS I have lots of photos. Ideally when I'm on my home network I'd like to be able to stream them onto my iPad without having to physically add them onto my iPad.
    Is this possible? I was thinking this is how my iCloud account could help but apparently not.
    Cheers, Sam.

    OK, so now the video is no longer streaming (even from my iTunes library). I'm getting a msg on the my Sony HDTV that says "This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection. This content requires HDCP for playback". If my connection doesn't support HDCP (whatever that is), shouldn't I never have been able to stream video (instead of having the ability only 15 minutes ago)? I haven't changed any setup/configuration since having the ability to stream video.

  • How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
    Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
    Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

  • HT204289 Can I use AirPlay to stream shows from websites like TVO and then watch them on my AppleTV?

    I would like to know if I can stream shows from websites like TVO or Treehouse using my iPad and then watch them on my Appletv using AirPlay.

    Hello zvolkert,
    It sounds like you would like to be able to play audio to a set of wired speakers connected to your computer and a set of AirPlay speakers.  Currently, this feature is available through iTunes 10 or later on a computer.
    If you click the AirPlay icon in iTunes 10 or later, you will get a window like this:
    You can find more information in the following article:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How to transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (late 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ?

    Hi guys and galls,
    How can I transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (mid 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ? The mentioned file currently will not let me transfer it to my ext HD. I want to upload it afterwards to a Dell laptop with Windows software installed.
    Reformatting the drive doesn't seem to be the sollution, since this will erase all the data stored on the ext HD, and it will only allow me to use the drive with either Apple or Microsoft equipment.
    Please HELP, running out of options here... Thnx, "Apple-Dummy"

    Attach the HDD to your MBP.  Click on the icon on the desktop COMMAND+I. It will produce a display such as this and look what it says by FORMAT.
    How do I format my External HD: FAT or ExFAT?
    Do this on a PC.  You will have to use the Windows equivalent of Disk Utility.  I am not a Windows user so I cannot give you detailed information regarding this.  I have seen on these forums that there are at times compatibility problems if formatted on a Mac.
    Which one is preferred, FAT or ExFAT? And why?
    Use ExFAT.  FAT has a file size limitation of 4 GB.
    Ciao.

  • Cannot print from Macbook Air to Lexmark x2650 on Windows XP via wireless network (Linksys e1550)

    Unable to print from recently purchased Macbook Air via wireless router (Linksys e1550) that is connected Windows XP which is connected to Lexmark x2650 printer.  Macbook Air is connected to wireless router and able to access internet.  Windows XP printer is set-up for sharing and I am able to see and add printer from Macbook Air.  I have installed Lexmark 2600 series driver on Macbook Air.  Macbook Air sends print job to print queue and print job is released from queue but does not print on Lexmark printer connected to XP.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Wade, and Welcome to the dicussions.
    I think it's how the PC is setup and interpreting the Mac's drivers, should just pass them on I think, but here's a way to get most any Mac to print to most any printer on an XP machine...

  • How to unistall windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp?

    Dear all,
    I'm from new macbook user. how can i remove windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp? After removing windows 7, can i use free partition (windows 7 bootcamp) from Mac OS?

    In OSX use the BootCamp Assistant again to revert the partitioning back to one single OSX-volume.
    That deletes the Windows partition and reassigns the used diskspace back to OSX.
