TS2972 the homesharing on my apple tv works for about 5 minutes then stops working

I had to have my the hard drive on my computer reformatted and then reload all the programs. Since then when I pull up pictures on my TV through Homesharing, it works for about 5 minutes and then disconnects. I have extended the time until the screen saver comes on and the time for the computer to go to sleep, but it does not seem to make any difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hello, Paul.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

Airport express works for 1 minute then stops

I came back from vacation. restarted my mac mini + airport express + ...
Internet worked for 1 minute then stopped. I unplugged cable modem + airport. Restarted them. Internet worked for 1 minute the stopped. After it stopped working the light on the airport express stayed green. Computer was still connected with a strong signal.
I plugged the ethernet cable into mac and internet worked fine without issue.
I did a hard reset of airport express and had same issue as above.
Is my airport express shot? Why does it only work for 1 minute or so and then stop?

After waiting a few days, plugged in airport to try one more time and it now works fine. Not sure what the problem was, but it has had no issues since letting it stay unplugged for a few days.

Airplay and iTunes, works for 1 minute then stops

I have
iTunes 11.0.5.5
Airport Express 802.11g version number 6.3
Airport Express 802.11n version number 7.6.4
I have used Windows 8 to install a previous version of Utility in order to set up the older airport express as it wont work on mountain lion (thanks Apple)
it's now recognised and I can play music via the iPad, but when i try to do multi room via the PC, it initially didn't work at all, but i read about changing to just WPA2 which i did and that actually gave me multi room, until i tested it and turned it off and on a few times, it then stopped finding it through iTunes and telling me it was in use.
I actually thought I'd fixed it and could answer loads of the other support questions on here, but it looks like i'm in the same position.
that split second i had multi room - pure bliss
Can any one get me past this hurdle, I thought i was doing so well

Hi benkeenan2005,
you could have a look at the "AirPlay Multiroom Player by WHAALE" iPad app which brings support for Multiroom audio on the iPad directly (without the need for a Mac or PC running).
Currently it supports playing iTunes music on up to 6 speakers simultaneously.
Please try the free App "AirPlay Speaker Tester" first to see if it is working with your current setup.

HT4199 Hi I have a iPad which works fine on my wireless router and a iPad mini which won't work all the time on my wireless router it's work for a minutes then stops, it won't work on my apps the loading icon just goes round, but the iPad works fine all t

I've even tried only having the iPad mini on the router but that's not even worked. Safari works but the apps are the worst and its what I use most.

Hi Friends,
I found the solution for this problem (because I faced it too): go to Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset Internet Settings (the third option in IOS 6).
Five minutes later my iPhone 4S works fine again.
If the issue persists, forget the wifi connection, then sign in again.
Hope it helps

I have had my apple tv 2 for about 3 months which work perfectly fine when I use it with my iPad 3 ー all of the sudden I get the HDCP Error! I read the forms and done everything! Apple I name a loyal customer, please come out with an update soon!

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

Hello King Cutway
If you are having issues with the functions keys, then check the settings in System Preferences > Keyboard and look to see if Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys is unchecked so you can use it properly.

CS4 won't start up on my new computer. The error message I get is "Licensing for this product has stopped working."

CS4 won't start up on my new computer. The error message I get is "Licensing for this product has stopped working." Both the old and new computer are MACs and the error code I get is 150:30. It says to restart the computer or open another application in the suite, but neither helps. It says if nothing helps to contact Adobe support, but this is the only way I'm given to contact adobe support. Can I really not use my purchased software on my new computer? What do I do to activate the license on the new computer?

Elements 7.0 worked perfectly for many years then stopped working about 1.5 months ago

Elements 7.0 worked perfectly for many years then stopped working about 1.5 months ago. I just finished at chat session with Adobe support, but we did not find a solution. At the very end, when I tried to run Elements in the sandbox, I got an error message saying that my licensing stopped working.

I have been trying to troubleshoot with Verizon support via twitter as well. So far I have gotten, to simply turn location off for 12 hours and afterwords see if it works again. This did not work. They said engineers are looking into it. Additionally this was a replacement phone via the HTC advantage program so I assume it is refurbished. I did not use GPS until the 5,0,1 android update coincidentally so I do not know for sure it worked when I got it.
The 2nd link shows the possibility of GPS breakage during the initial teardown of a return. Sadly the other issue is extreme battery drain. A 5 min phone call took 5% power and standby for 2 hours took 30%. No active background apps beyond stock, no auto sync, all devices but 4g data and WiFi turned off.
I think the software is not to blame. Seems HTC sent me an incrediby faulty phone.

Getting increasingly frequent system shutdown with appearance of the apple splash screen for several minutes then back to logon in the middle of using a variety of APPs or just walking on Safari.

Using an IPAD 2 running 5.0.1 is frequently shutting down in the middle of a variety of Apps and showing the Apple splash screen for several minutes. This happens occasionally at inopportune times. Once the splash screen clears it goes back to the logon screen and the App that was open is closed. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a resolution?

I don't think that there is ever a good time for this to occur.
What do you mean the Apple splash screen? You see the Apple logo on the screen?
It appears as though your apps are crashing. Have you tried quitting apps and restarting? Reset the iPad?
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Verizon iPhone 5 not sending or receiving texts. iMessage worked for a day then stopped or messages were severely delayed.

New iPhone 5 on Verizon will not send or receive texts. In the beginning iMessage worked for about a day and then messages started to be delayed by hours. Eventually even these messages were not being sent. Reset network settings followed by a soft re-boot land still no change. Any ideas?

For iMessage problems, try this:
- Sign out of iMessage
- Reset your network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Sign back in to iMessage
Best of luck.

AE works for a bit, then stops. I unplug it, and the cycle starts again...

I have an Airport Express connected to my main Apple Base Station via WDS. An older iMac is connected to the Airport Express via ethernet. I have an iBook which I connect wirelessly with. Everything (network, internet, etc.) has worked flawlessly forever until recent probelm with the Airport Express. It will work for a while and then it stops. The green light is still on but no internet connectiion and no network. If I check using the Airport Admin tool, the Base Station is still there but the Airport Express is no longer listed. If I unplug the Airport Express and replug it in, it powers up and everything is fine for a while, but then it drops off again. I have tried both a hard and soft reset.
Recently upgraded OS X 10.4.4. Could that be related?
Airport Express and Airport Base Station Mac OS X (10.4.4)

It sounds like interference or a weak signal. Try going into Airport Admin Utility and enabling Interference Robustness (under "Wireless Options...") on both the AEBS and AX.

Photostream works for a while, then stops and won't upload to iCloud anymore. Rebooting the phone resolves the issue. Anyone know why?

I have an iPhone 4S. Photo stream works for a while but then it will just stop and not upload any photos to iCloud. Rebooting the phone resolves the problem. This happens very often and is frustrating for something that should just work. Once they get uploaded, they are downloaded to other devices without a problem.
Any idea what could be going wrong with it? I hate taking pictures of stuff that I need on my other devices not knowing if they're going to make it there or not.
Thanks!

Photobooth works for one second, then stops.

It used to work. Like all the time.
I'm using a Logitech camera, which works fine in Skype and iChat. But when I open Photobooth, the camera turns on, works for a period of one second, then it stops. If Photobooth is open but behind another program, when I switch back to Photobooth I get a quick one second refresh of the image before it freezes up again.
When I Apple-T, I get the 3-2-1 countdown, then it takes a picture of the frozen image and adds it to the previous photos.
The camera is plugged into a USB 2.0 card I installed last year. Everything else on the card is working. I've even switched ports around, and everything is working (which makes sense, because the camera works in Skype and iChat.)
I was hoping to use the video function to record some voiceover stuff and then transfer the audio into iMovie.

I would try Repair Permissions.
This is done with Disk Utility found in Applications/Utilities using the First AID tab.
If that does not work I would Reset the PRAM
Hold down AppleALT+PR keys on restart until you have three start up bongs.
If that does not work I would download and install the Combo Installer of the OS level you are up to.
