TS3623 Apple TV3 will not stream movies

My Apple TV3 will not stream movies and it takes a very long time for music to stream from my MacBook. I readjusted the resolution settings and it was the same thing. It gives me an "error occurred loading this content; try again later" message after spending several minutes of buffering after I try to play movies. 
I have high speed 15 mbps Mediacom internet, which has never had any issues. I called Mediacom and they said my connectivity was excellent. I have reset my router/modem/AppleTV to no avail.  My homesharing is on and I have followed all other recommendations I could find on Apple forums concerning this same issue.
I am going to return this product for a Roku if I am not offerred a solution on the matter.
Apple, I hope you realize this is not an isolated incident.

From where? Internet or local iTunes library?

I appreciate your frustration, but remember we are fellow users here, and you are not talkingto Apple support directly.
If you are connected via wifi try using ethernet if you can to rule out a wifi issue.
My AppleTVs are very stable with internet or LAN streaming 99% of the time, but since yesterday they have all behaved oddly - weird!

  • Apple TV3 will not switch on

    Hi,
    My Apple TV3 will not switch on.  I've tried a restore (twice) with apparent success but when connected back to the TV, absolutely nothing, no lights, no response to the remote or anything.
    Any pointers as it's no longer under warranty!
    Thanks

    That may point to something hardware related, doesn't hurt to take it to Apple for diagnostics (which is free)

  • TS3623 Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.

    I've tried restoring the TV, updating my iTunes - nothing is working. It is definitely not playing on my computer.

    Sign in to your iTunes account settings on the computer (click on the AppleID top right if you're actually signed in).
    In your purchase list find the purchase and use the 'Report a problem' link to tell the store.
    Assume you've not moved the rental to another device where it resides but is not being played.

  • Apple Tv will not stream all photos in a file

    Apple TV has stoped showing all photos in files/albums. Also having issues with streaming movies from Netflixs. This has not a problem during first two months. After an update these problems showed up. Did not correct with lastest update a few days ago

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Apple tv will not stream more than one song maybe two

    iTunes is turned on, matched and works on my iPad, but not on the Apple TV.  When I go to the music part of the menu, There is a message that Apple TV is setting up iTunes match.  It has been this was for many days.  It did take hours for Match to wrok on my Mac.  I've let this run overnight several times.  I play music from my computer when I want music, but shouldn't Match work?

    Well, I restarted my Apple TV and it set up matching just fine...don't know what the problem was, but it working now.

  • TS2972 Itunes Library will not stream to apple TV

    I can find my itunes library on my apple TV, but it will not stream. it just continues to buffer, and does not load the movie. Is there a way to fix this? Everything used to work just fine before today.

    Solution:
    I had the same problem.  Apple TV worked, because I could stream the BBC iplayer from my iPad, it was just iTunes that was the problem.  However, I just downloaded the latest Apple TV update and bingo!

  • ITunes will not stream vidoe audio to Apple Hi-Fi speakers

    Hi - Using iTunes, I am able to stream music and podcast audio to my Apple Hi-Fi speakers via Airport Express. However, VidoeCast, TV Shows and purchased movies will not stream... am I doing something wrong? Is there a workaround?

    Try turning IPv6 ON in your network preferences - this is helping SOME people with this problem. It won't help you at all if your network router doesn't do IPv6.
    To turn on: go to Network Preferences, select the interface you use, under teh TCP/IP tab click 'Configure IPv6', and choose 'Automatic'. Save changes.

  • HT2731 My Apple TV will not upload a movie

    My Apple TV will not upload a movie   What is wrong

    1st of all ripping DVDs is illegal in the US (where this forum is hosted) so i would suggest you not talk directly about ripping DVDs and speak in just general terms of you files if you don't want to get your post deleted..
    there might be few reasons why you get that message
    1) there is more to the file than just it's format.. it must also be within certain parameters to be played on appleTV... to facilitate streaming appleTV limits the size of the file and it data rate, frame rate, resolution, codec, codec profiles etc(see below). software usually have an appleTV setting.. it is usually best just to use that setting and not futz around with your own custom settings unless you know what you're doing
    *Video formats supported*
    *H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store):* Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    *iTunes Store purchased video:* 320 by 240 pixels, 640 by 480 pixels, 720 by 480 pixels (anamorphic), or high-definition 720p
    MPEG-4: Up to 3 Mbps, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 720 by 432 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    2) that message also appears if you are streaming for some reason you have lost connectivity to your computer.. network interference, computer goes to sleep or turned off, iTunes is closed etc.
    3) could be caused by the file becoming corrupted, HDD corruption etc..

    Can anyone help  I have just bought alot of movies and tv shows and want to watch them with my family not just on my ipad!!!
    Not sure why this has just started happening.  have been using apple tv with my ipad for months and now it comes up with this error... 
    THanks

    Firstly restart the AppleTV, secondly check the HDMI lead and if possible swap for another or another HDMI input - sounds as though AppleTV thinks the TV is not HDCP capable.

    Unplug the power and disconnect the ethernet cable (if wired) wait about a minute and plug everything back in. Doing this has worked for me in the past. Hopefully that'll help, if not let me know.
