TS2972 Apple TV Homesharing Connectivity Problem

After i restart apple TV 2 all is well and my home sharing works well, after a period of time probably overnight  apple TV asks me to turn on homesharing but its already on. the only way i can get it to homeshare again is to restart Apple TV, help?

#1 How is this type of computer connected (Wired or Wireless)?
a) And if by wired, is it directly to this Verizon-provided MI424WR-D router?
b) If by wireless, what else is connected at the LAN port (or ports) of this Verizon-provided MI424WR-D router?

  • TS2972 Apple TV cannot connect to my iTunes library

    my Apple TV cannot connect to my itunes library

    Thanks Rudegear - close but no cigar.
    I followed the instructions as per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2709
    Now: I can see my iTunes library via AppleTV, and access it via the remote control.
    Now: I can use the Remote App on my iPad to access my iTunes library, and control the library on my PC but not on AppleTV
    Still, when playing a song on iTunes - either directly on the PC or via the iPad, when I select the AppleTV speakers - nothing.  When I select 'multiple' speakers I don't get anything through the AppleTV speakers.
    The AppleTV is connected to a Denon AVR (if this matters).
    Thanks again - open to other pointers.

  • APEx '03 and Non-Apple Wireless Client Connection Problems

    Good morning. I have a 2003 vintage AirPort Extreme, running 5.5.1 firmware (due to the issues with the newer firmware discussed on this forum).
    --> Wired iMax
    My setup is DSL-->APEx--|
    --> Apple Wireless Clients
    --> Linksys w54 acting as a bridge
    In order to get the Linksys working in the first place, I had to remove the WEP, not a huge deal as we live in the boonies and no one within range of the APEx. I couldn't figure out how to get anything to work with Apple wireless security outside of the Family. I have it manually set to channel 1, and radio mode to G only.
    My problem basically is that non-Apple devices can see the SSID but cannot connect. The problem at hand are my kids' various PSPs & Ninendo DS's, and a little Windows CE netbook. Of course, none of these simple devices give anything helpful in terms of errors. Those three different devices all have their own version of the same error: See the SSID, try to connect, but fail.
    I'd like to figure out this problem, although the simpler solution might be to just buy another cheap Linksys on craiglist and use it for the non-Apple stuff.

    Bump?

  • My Apple tv has connection problems. I receive not connected to internet or home sharing not on even though it is

    Apple TV is allways asking me to turn on home sharing, home sharing is allready on so I have turn it off and then turn it back on. Also it is telling me that it is not connected to the internet even though I entered my network key correctly and all my other Apple wireless devices are working perfectly. Any ideas please ?

    Having reread your post, i note you say you connected the thernet cable to a wifi extender, are you by any chance using the wifi extender when trying wifi and by extender do you mean a WDS extended network. I have seen quite a few reports that networks extended using WDS have problems.
    Although it may be a weak signal, are you able to temporarily disable WDS to see if this resolves the connection issue.

  • Apple Mail internet connection problem

    i  am able to download pages, check on icloud my email, etc. but I am unable to download or send mail via apple mail.
    is there a specific reason for that?
    I am quite often using public libraries and it's mainly there the problem exists - in some it's impossible, in others (after a lot of trying) it is possible.
    Is there any solution?
    Mark

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • TS2972 Apple tv loses connection with home share

    Recently received an apple tv as a gift. I connect it to iTunes through home sharing but the connection is lost after only a few minutes.

  • Apple wireless keyboard connection problem

    My wireless keyboard has worked fine since I bought it 18 months ago. I haven't changed anything in my system but the PowerBook suddenly stopped responding to the keyboard although my wireless mouse works fine. I changed the batteries in the keyboard, restarted my computer and it still didn't work. I deleted the old keyboard and used the Bluetooth Set-Up assistant to reconfigure the keyboard. When that didn't work, I downloaded the latest software patch for the keyboard. The computer now recognizes the keyboard but still won't pair with it. I've tried several times with the same results. Keyboard is on and diode lights up. The only thing I've done differently is sync my new iphone with the computer. This doesn't seem like it could be related but after I synced the iphone the keyboard stopped working. Just a fluke? Is my keyboard dead? I don't want to waste a lot of time if the keyboard is dead but I'm not crazy about shelling out for a new one. Its been very dry here and I've been generating lots of static electricity. This doesn't seem to have effected any of my other hardware but could I have fried my keyboard with a static discharge and not noticed? Could it be a virus (I've never had one before so I didn't renew my Norton last month when it expired)? How would I even know if I had a virus? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I have gone through the exact same experience as dr jill. I was still using Panther when it happened to me. I upgraded to Leopard several weeks after my keyboard problems started, but that was just something I had wanted to do for a while. Tonight, I went to the Genius Bar at my local Apple store. My keyboard pairs with other laptops in the store. When the "genius" tried to pair one of the keyboards in the store with my mac it failed to pair. She even booted my mac up with her external hard disk and the pairing still did not work. At that point, she suggested I could either pay for a new bluetooth card or pay a flat rate fee that would cover anything in case the bluetooth card is not the problem. When I got home, I managed to pair my bluetooth cell phone with my mac. My apple wireless mouse also continues to work fine. So I don't think this is a Leopard only issue since it began when I still had Panther. It's not just a crappy keyboard problem since it works with other macs. If anyone has a solution for this, please post it. You would be the hero for many people.

    Try restarting your router as a first thing, this sometimes works for me.

  • We live in an old Victorian House and have virtually no connectivity on the second or third floor using a  Linksys System, will the Apple Aiorport solve thge problem ? do you need sattelite stations on each floor?

    Any advice on Airport solving our second and third floor WIFI connectivity problems welcomed, do we need sattelite stations, ?? do not mind buying the system if it works?

    ......will the Apple Airport solve the problem?
    The broadcast power of all wireless routers is controlled by law, so as you might imagine, devices from varying manufactureres tend to perform about the same. It is very unlikely that an Apple AirPort router would perform significantly better...or worse...than the Linksys device that you have now.
    do we need satttelite stations?
    Yes, probably at least one per floor and possibly more, depending on the thickness of the walls in the areas where a wireless signal will be needed. Since you already have a Linksys router, and it is always best to use products from the same manufacturer on a wireless network, it would probably make sense to check with Linksys to see what they suggest as additions to your current router.
    It would be a excellent idea to have an IT professional come out and survey the house and take some measurements with test equipment to propose a system that is right for your needs. That will likely save a lot of headaches (and money) down the road.
