Trying to get home shaing working on apple tv using Cisco Access points and a Cisco WLC 5508 with 7.2.110 code.  I can get devices working individually but they never see each other.  I can ping the apple tv from my laptop and ipad.

Trying to get home sharing working on a corporate wireless network.  Cisco wireless.
WLC5508 controller
Cisco 3502 access points
All apple devices on same WLAN - security WPA2-PSK
ITunes account up to date
All devices laterst software.
Can ping apll tv from laptop
can ping apple tv from ipad
Can ping ipad from laptop
can ping laptop from ipad.
Apple tv never sees any other device.
Any ideas?

Fascinating just reading about your setup. I have a WRT350N and have noticed that it will drop its speed, sometimes down to 1Mbps. It seems to do so at about the same time every day, but usually comes back to speed in about 5 minutes. In my experience, the Apple TV will disconnect if the speed falls this low. Try monitoring the Linksys with Netstumbler, Vistumbler, or just in the Windows Network utility.
Check the "lease obtained" and "lease expired" times for your router to see if that is when the network fails. I've just finished reading an angry thread over at the Linksys forum about the WRT330N where someone mentioned that the router wasn't renewing its lease.
"I cannot set it run off automatic DHCP from the WRT330N, the router will not assign it an IP every time the lease expires, causing me to have to manually set an IP on the Print server. That's annoying. Having the router drop IP's to individual machines after 12-48 hours...very annoying."

If that is the problem, then I would consider setting up a Static IP address for your Apple TV. You can do that through the user interface -> Settings -> Network -> Configure ... (Quite intuitive as you only have change IP address and the subsequent details remain the same.)
My router assigns IP Addresses in the ranges of 192.168.1.100 ->149. The idea here is to choose an address outside of that range but is not greater than 192.168.1.253 (and should not end in the number 1). You shouldn't have to change the linksys router as long as 50 clients are assigned in that range. You'll have to figure that out by accessing your router webpage at browser address 192.168.1.1 -> the default password is "admin" (without the quotes).
Good luck.

  • HT4889 The migration using Thunderbolt doesn't seem to work. I have two Mac's here, both about 2 months new, one is an AIR and the other an iMac27", both have Thunderbolt ports. I'm using a Thundebolt cable between the two. They never see each other.

    I start the AIR in Target Disc mode, then start the iMac and run the Migration Assistant and follow the instructions as outlined here. The iMac just churns and never does come up with the AIR's hard drive.
    Both machines are running Mountain Lion and all software is up to date.
    Ideas?

    cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

    That is because they do not generally pair. What is it that you are trying to do by connecting them via Bluetooth? If you are referring to AirDrop or continuity, then all you need to do is have Bluetooth turned on, they do not pair.

  • How can i save my individual playlist on itunes on my external hard drive because i want to buy a laptop and install itunes and move all my music and playlist thats on my desktop to my laptop and almost all my music is from a bunch of cd's i own

    Hello ryane84
    The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

  • 2 Mac can not see each other via airdrop under the same airport/timecapsule.

    I have 2 iMac in my home with a TImeCapsule (gen4).
    The wifi is on both 2.4G and 5G with the same SSID.
    iMac A is working on 2.4GHz, iMac B is working on 5GHz.
    So they can not see each other via airdrop, meanwhile they can see each other  in the left panel of Finder.app
    Is it a known issue of AirDrop?

    Hi Kirby Zhou,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you would like to utilize file sharing between computers, not necessarily AirDrop. Please refer to the attached article for information on the file sharing process. If this is not what you are looking for, please let me know.

  • I have removed the hard drive from my laptop and connected it to my netbook as an external drive. Now, I can't find or acces my saved Firefox bookmarks on the external drive. How do I get it to display like it did on the original laptop?

    Now that I am using it as an external drive, how do I get the harddrive I removed from my laptop to display like it did when it was still in the laptop , when I connect it to a new computer?. I can't locate my Firefxox bookmarks that I originally saved to the HD when it was in the laptop. The laptop is dead but fortunately I was able to salvage the hard drive. I Need help urgently since I have tons of bookmarked pages and saved passwords that are critical to my work and life. The original laptop that the HD came from has a Windows Vista OS. The netbook I connect the HD to uses Windows XP.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

  • I have downloaded two albums and they have the same song on, but they keep overwriting each other?

    I have downloaded Now 84 and Bad Blood from iTunes, both these albums have the song Pompeii on it, and my iPhone will only allow me to have one version of this song on my phone, so whenever I try to re-download the song of the album it's gone missing from it just overwrites the other version.
    I have multiple versions of other songs on my iPhone with no trouble
    Thanks in advance

    It now does it with any song I have on more than one album...

  • Computers can't see each other after installing E3000

    I've found several previous posts regarding my issue, but none of them have led me to a solution to my problem. Here is my problem. I have a small home network that I was able to share file and printers on, now I puchased and install a Cisco E3000 and my computers can no longer see each other. My current configurations is as such: I use DSL and have a 2 wire DSL modem with wireless capabilities. This particular modem has a port for the phone line and a port for local ethernet. I've taken the local ethernet and plugged in the internet port of the E3000. All computers can reach the internet but they cannot see each other. I've verified that file and print sharing is enabled on all computers. In fact if I remove the E3000 from the configuration and place them back onto the 2wire wireless connection they see each other. So I'm pretty certain that the firewall software on each PC will allow file and printer sharing. So that leads me to believe that my problem is in the E3000. It is perhaps blocking the network discovery protocol or something. Does anyone have any ideas how I can resolve this problem? Any help is appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks Showguy82 that seems to have worked by allowing my computers on the network to appear under network tap in windows explorer.  However I'm still not able to access the computers. Something is being blocked by the E3000 because I completely disabled the fire wall on my PCs and still couldn't access them. Do you perhaps know what should be changed in the E3000 to allow access to the computers. Thanks for your help.

  • Need Help Connecting (2) 2950 switches together, cant see each other

    Can anyone please help me get my switches talking?  I am currently in training for entry level certs and can't continue until i get these talking. 
    I have two 2950 switches connected via port 0/1 on both switches.  (tried both crossover and regular cat5 connections)
    I have both ports active and both VLAN 1s active and both ports set to switchport mode trunk
    There is no port security enabled.  Both switches have IP's assigned in the respective default VLAN 1.   
    IP address 10.1.10.10 for switch 1
    IP address 10.1.10.11 for switch 2
    VTP is set to server on both, ( I tried transparent on both as well )
    I cant get these switches to ping each other and or access telnet from each other.  If i connect an outside connection i can telnet individually to each but they wont see each other through ping or CDP Neighbors. 
    Any ideas?? Please help as i am trying to get my CCENT in a few weeks!
    THANK YOU!

  • How do I set up LiveRig or TouchOSC with Mainstage 2.2.2? Both apps send signals but none are received by Mainstage and both the ipad 3 (6.1) and macbook pro (10.7.5) see each other via WIFI?

    As I said before both app's send signals but none are received by Mainstage and both the ipad 3 (6.1) and macbook pro (10.7.5) see each other via WIFI on the network set up, which I think I did right. I have tried MIDI Disigner and Mainstage shows MIDI activiti, what can I be doing wrong?
    Thanx in advance.

    I agree anti-relay can be using UBE feature. However, there is serious problem in reject the spam mail. My nms is using UBE feature to stop spam mail. According to the work flow of the UBE, the mail is received by nms completely and UBE is going to invesgate the mail address. Although UBE can stop the spam mail, the spam mail have a trouble in returning the mail to the sender. The reason is the sender address is usually not existed in the world. That will cause a lot of mail waiting in the mail queue.
    In my experience, do not use UBE for anti-relay.

  • HT4783 I have an early 2010 and a late 2011 MacBook Pro, they both have the latest upgrade of Lion. Neither of them can "see" each other in AirDrop. I have reset the apple ID on both. Is there any way I can make them "see" each other?

    As far as I know the older mac is compatible with AirDrop.
    Thanks

    So by dual-signal, are you referring to 2.5Ghz/5Ghz signal?
    I'm pretty sure my Mac mini 2011 has that but for whatever reason I cannot send via AirDrop to the mini. The mini can see other computers like my 2010 MacBook Pro and send files to it, but not in reverse. The MBP is unable to see or send to the mini unless the mini has engaged it to send a file to MBP. Even then it's temporary and the mini will disappear from the MBP's AirDrop radar upon completing the delivery of its file.
    So I'm a bit perplexed on how the Mac mini has AirDrop, can see other AirDrop computers and send files to them, but cannot be seen on other Macs to reciprocate.

  • My iPad screen has gone black.  I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again.  I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...

    My iPad screen has gone black.  I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again.  I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...I'd rather not reset it to the factory settings as I have a lot of things I worry about using.  Either way seems to me that the system itself is working since I can hear it working, but its the screen that isn't.  It has not been dropped and has been in a case for years!  Please help!

    When the power is on and I press the home button, I can slide my finger where the slider bar "would be" and it makes the noise as if its "opening" flashes a blue screen then returns black...
