TS5316 Airplay and dropped/freezed connections

I have had trouble with Airplay stopping or breaking up when playing movies over my Apple TV and Macbook Pro (2011). Network is 82.11n.
Airplay will then "catch up" briefly but contines to break up.

Intermittant issues are often a result of interference. Check istumbler.net to verify

ContinuousQueryCache and dropped extend connection

Hi Guys,
It seems that CQC won't automatically recover from a dropped extend connection. This is a problem as we have listeners attached to the CQC which don't get fired if the proxy to which it is connected fails.
CQC also doesn't resync if you access a different remote cache on the same proxy connection.
I've tried adding <heartbeat-interval> to <tcp-initiator> which does nothing.
The only thing that appears to work is to poll cqc.size() on a background thread. At which point it looks from the events received as though the CQC is repopulated form scratch - can you confirm?
Surely there's a better way? If we've added a heartbeat, could we at least have a connection listener so we know if we need to wake up CQCs?
Thanks, Paul

Steps to resolve:
1) Get a reference to your NamedCache using standard coherence API's
2) Create your CQC using the namedCache.
3) Register a member listener for that namedCache so you can detect when the tcp extend connection has gone away, and subsequently returned. When the connection has returned just call cqc.size() to force cqc to reconnect/repolulate.
namedCache.getCacheService().addMemberListener(new MemberListener() {
public void memberJoined(final MemberEvent memberEvent) {
if (memberEvent.isLocal()) {
try{ cqc.size() } catch(Ex....){}
public void memberLeft(MemberEvent memberEvent) {
//could take some action here if needed.
}

Apple TV and Drop Outs, Connection Issues

I use AppleTV to mirror my ipad 2. it's great. Love it Then I'll try it again and it may work but often the icon disappears. I then clear the password then re-enter it and that will bring it back or if that doesn't work I may have to shut down my ipad 2 at least once.
This happens almost every second or third time I try to use it.
I currently have an iphone 4s, ipad2, ipod touch and as someone has said before, this is the first time I've been deeply disappointed in an Apple product. I expect glitches every now and then but this continual drop out and connection issues I have is beyond the joke.
Does anyone have any solutions. Yes I have done all the updates, yes I am on the same network, yes airplay is turned on, yes home sharing is enabled.
As you can see I am peeved!

I too am having the same problem. I have a MB Pro running OS X 10.9.4 cannot see AirPlay option. Any solutions out there? Tried AirParrot but it is spotty at best.

Airplay and Pioneer Reciever Connectivity

Just bought a Pioneer reciever (VSX-2) with Airplay. I have exhausted myself trying to get the two to talk. My Pioneer needs to connect to Airport Xtreme base station. Pioneer requires DCHP, DNS, IP etc on a manual basis versus automatically recognizing like Apple TV, etc. Pioneer wisely incorporated Airplay into it's new recievers (VSX 50, 51 52, 53, etc) but made it difficult for the Apple network to recognize. I feel like they want to make you buy there adaptor which connects to the back of the receiver but that costs $149.
My quick fix is to spend $99 on Apple TV and not go throught the pain with Pioneer, then again, there must be a way to make the Airport Extreme and Pioneer VSX52 talk and I'm just one step away from seeing that happen.
Airport Express: I can use one but don't think I need one as a bridge between Pioneer reciever and Airport Extreme.
This is all recently new so the knowledge base in combining is also new with regard to recievers (Pioneer/Phillips).
Help please....

Not sure why your Pioneer receiver is unable to perform as a DHCP client, but adding the appropriate IP address information should be relatively straight-forward.
You can easily get the information using your iMac and going to: System Preferences > Network > Ethernet or AirPort depending on how your iMac connects to the network.
Here's an example from mine. Note: I'm using OS X Lion so it will look a bit different from yours.
For the Pioneer, the DHCP address = Router address; DNS = DNS Server, etc. However, DON'T use your iMac IP address for the IP address used by the Pioneer. The IP address you should use would be in the same subnet, BUT OUTSIDE of the DHCP server range of your router. By default, the AEBS, uses 10.0.1.2 thru 10.0.1.200 for these addresses. I would suggest using 10.0.1.210 for the Pioneer.

New macbook pro 2011 weak and dropping wireless connection

Just looked throught this part of the forum and found out there are a lot of people out there which seem to have the same problem as me.
I purchased a new modell 2011 MBP on the very first day from our apple store.
At home, sitting directly beside the wireless router I didn´t noticed anything wrong.
I have got beside of the Mac OS a bootcamp Prt. with Windows 7 on it and everythign works fine so far.
Five days after purchased I started traveling on business and at present we are for some weeks in Melbourne. Were having a wireless connection in our appartement and here I have got massiv problems with my connection.
We are having altogether four windows mashines with us, my IPad, my Iphone, another HTC smartphone, and my new Macbook.
All the other devices connecting to our room wireless without problems. The net strengh is not fantastic but the other devices bringing it up to four bars on the windows wireless symbol in the task bar. None of the other computers where ever loosing the connection.
Only my macbook can not make it over three bars and its going on and off. Donwloads fail freuquently because the conection is interrupted more than one times..
In my opinion this problem is even worse on the Windows OS and a bit better but far away from beeing good and acpetable on the Mac Os.
I hope its only a driver issue and there is no hardware problem with the new mashine. Other than this I love the new notebook and I am very satisfied with its performance.

Hi,
I've noticed similar behavior - specifically with the new 2011 MacBook Pro 13 and 17" models (tested) on Cisco infrastructure - using a 1252 and 3500i/e series APs running in dual-band mode, with 5GHz preferred. I've seen the transfer rates when in close proximity to the AP move between 72mbit and 243 - occasionally 300. My 2010 system in the same position is a solid, dependable 300.
They did modify the wireless chipset in the new 2011 MacBook Pros to replace it with a true 3x3 802.11n device. Cisco have long praised the Broadcom chipsets so I will see if their wireless team can advise me on what this new gear is capable of.
I currently look after a very large deployment of wireless LAN equipment so my wireless performance is absolutely critical to my work - the 2010 system was a godsend and a testament to how wireless devices should be built. It looks to me like this could be a software issue so I only hope Apple resolves this ASAP. I'll hang on to my 2010 system for now...

12.0.1 Upgrade - Sidebar not apparent in order to use the "drag" from iTunes and "drop" to connected device

I found a workaround but I am opening a new discussion for my specific issue as noted in my subject. Search "iTunes 12 sidebar missing".
Per denali_uk on Oct 21, 2014 12:29 AM:
"Actually this feature is still available but it's not very obvious. If you grab a bunch of tunes from one of the Music lists and drag them to the left, a temporary sidebar appears with your attached devices and playlists. You can drag the songs into an existing playlist, or to an empty space where it will create a new one. The sidebar will then disappear, and you'll have to click on one of the Playlist tabs if you want to edit anything. Awful design".
I apologize to those readers who use this site "correctly" but I did not know how else to accomplish this.

Argh... Found that I cannot drag new playlists to the device icon that appears on the taskbar of itunes. If I display the playlists in itunes I can select 1 then scroll up to the my ipod where it appears further up the list and then drop the item into the ipod. This appears to be a great step forward for Itunes but you must drag and scroll the list to find your device one at a time as selecting items with the shift or ctrl buttons pressed has no effect.
Itunes at version 12+ you would think it would be easier not harder to load content.

RV 120W corrupting email attachements and dropping RDP connections

Hi,
We've put in an RV120W for a client, and since they have had problems with emal attachements (notably PDFs) getting corrupted, ad RDP conenctions to their network being dropped.
I found an article that suggested turning on the Content Filtering, which I have (althought the individual fileters are off as I don't want to block those things), and it may have improved, but still has a problem.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Adam

WRVS4400N Drops Internet Connectivity with PORT SCAN

I just installed a WRVS440N router and it appears that every time a PORT SCAN happens, the router just shuts down and drops Internet Connectivity for about a minute or two, then once the PORT SCAN is done everything seems back to nomal?
I have heard many complaints about this router and wonder does anyone else have this issue?
I also have very erratic Internet connections speeds and I turened off the IPS feature and that seems to help. I am running version 2.0.8 Firmware.
If anybody has any tips or tricks to improve this router would like to hear. I can only say I regret buying this thing.

I suggest you to play around with the wireless settings on the router, Like changing the wireless name , channel and the type of wireless security.
This link will guide you;http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3698
Also, you check the firmware of the router by going to the status tab on the interface.
Website you can check to download it.

Audio continues to freeze, and drop over AirPlay

I have two recurring problems with iTunes, and I'm at a loss at how to solve them. Every bit of research and forum-scouring I've done has turned up nothing but the obvious trouble-shooting steps, all of which I've taken. I'm hoping perhaps there might be some others out there who have figured out some sort of a solution so this doesn't just end up as "Apple Needs to Fix It" (which seems to be the case more often these days )
Two Recurring Issues with iTunes
Problem 1 - AirPlay “drops” and completely stops working
Open iTunes
Play a song – already “connected” to 2 Speakers;my computer, and my AppleTV
On initial play, AppleTV NEVER plays. It just doesn’t “realize”, for lack of a better word, that it’s being expected to play.
Through iTunes or the Remote app on iPhone I have to un-select AppleTV as a Speaker, and then re-select it. Once I do this AirPlay starts working on AppleTV and audio is heard.
AirPlay will continue to intermittently “drop”and AppleTV will just randomly stop working. I have to do the same thing – open speakers, un-select and re-select AppleTV – to get it working again. Over, and over, and over again.
Problem 2 - iTunes Playback “freezes”
This happens just as frequently as problem 1.
This seems to be more of an iTunes issue, as it happens even when I am NOT using AirPlay, and only My Computer has beenselected as a Speaker.
iTunes will simply “freeze”. Playback stops. I can’t interact with iTunes at all – no stop, FF, Skip, new song, etc. Nothing.
It remains frozen for very random lengths of time. Maybe 5 seconds, maybe 60.
Eventually it “catches” up to itself and un-freezes, and playback resumes.
It seems that once it happens once, it continues to happen in regular succession so much so that iTunes becomes essentially worthless and I have to shut it down as I can’t listen to anything.
I get no problems with CPU being hosed when these issues crop up. My computer specs are more than sufficient to avoid such problems for appropriately coded programs.
iTunes 10.5.2.11
Core 2 2.4 GHz quadcore
8 GB Ram
7200rpm HDrive, nicelydefragged.
Linsys E3000, firmwareup to date.
Win 7 64bit
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

Airplay signal dropping on third party apps on Yosemite and iOS 8

I play music via a streaming service (Spotify) from an iPad Retina, iPhone 5, iPhone 6, iMac and MacBook Pro. All running the latest software, Yosemite and iOS8
From both my iPad and iPhone the connection drops, then I thought I would try and connect via my MacBook. The same happened there, but I read elsewhere if you connect to Airplay via iTunes, then change your Sound Output to your chosen AirPlay device this would make it more stable. I did this, however the problem persisted.
I utilise, 1 x Airport Extreme, 3 x Airport Express', 1 x Apple TV(3rd Gen).
No trouble streaming from the iTunes Library, to Apple TV, and it seems that there is no issue streaming from iTunes, just from Spotify, YouTube etc...
Can anyone help me?

I have a similar issue since the Yosemite upgrade; to connect to an airport express with external speakers I have to first connect iTunes, play something to make sure its connected then connect to the express using sound prefs. If I try to connect directly via sound prefs I either get an unable to connect message or the track appears to play in spotify, but there is no sound though the speakers. Sometimes the two step approach doesn't work either and I have also ended up with iTunes appearing to play but there is no sound through the external speakers.
I don't experience the same problem with apple TV (though I have had stuttering with that). I can also play spotify to the airport express with not trouble from my iPhone. All was working fine pre Yosemite with exactly the same setup.

I want to Sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes however I get an error message from iTunes each time I connect the phone to the PC saying that I should restore to factory settings. Frustrating because it's already annoying enough that I can't drag and drop mp3's!!!

I have never been so frustrated before in my life with any phone. I find it obnoxious as it is that I cannot simply drag and drop files (especially MP3's) straight from my PC directly into my phone, which I have been used to doing up until now. Everyone who convinced me to get the iPhone has instructed me that my frustration can be fixed by downloading iTunes and syncing it all up via that program (which I have never used before). So, I downloaded the program successfully, however when I connect the iPhone 4 to the PC and iTunes is open, I get an error message that 'iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone "iPhone" and that I should go to the Preferences tab of the iPhone and select 'restore' to restore this phone to factory settings. First of all, I don't understand why I need to do that. I have already downloaded apps and other important things in the 2 days that I have the phone. I am also scared that it will erase my contacts. This is such a headache. Music is very imporatant to me, but I am getting so frustrated that I don't have freedom over the phone which I thought was supposed to be one of the best out there. I would really appreciate help in this matter. I am sure the phone is great but I am on the verge of taking it back and getting something else.

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

Lenovo G505 Wifi Problems - Limited Connection, No Connection, and Dropped Connections

Some forum members have reported a variety of Wifi issues with their G505 laptops. Their reports range from showing "Connection is limited", to Wifi connections dropping repeatedly, to being unable to make a Wifi connection at all. I combined multiple threads in order to assist forum members with troubleshooting solutions.
If your G505 was upgraded to Windows 8.0 or 8.1 and then lost connectivity, or you recently purchased a G505 running Windows 8.0 or 8.1 and are unable to connect, try following the instructions posted by Vikramsbox to restore the connection through the Lenovo Communications Utility.
For non-Windows 8.0 or 8.1 users, start troubleshooting with the basics:
The most recent WLAN, BIOS, and Power Management drivers from Lenovo can be downloaded here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/lenovo-g505-no...
It is also good practice to verify your Wifi is activated by following the instructions from Neokenchi.
Check Power Management settings to ensure your laptop isn't turning off the Wifi as noted by Dannyk1.
Check to see that Airplane Mode is set to OFF by following the instructions provided by Shiv_K.
After trying those steps, if you still experience a Wifi issue with your G505, other troubleshooting steps have been noted in this thread. This includes a whitelist of accepted replacement WLAN cards posted by Topmahof and a 3rd party driver which resolved wifi issues for Miila and Jessemck125. Please note that while Lenovo does not support 3rd part drivers, it may be an option to consider if your laptop is out of warranty and none of the suggestions in the thread resolve the issue.

First computer was a 1980 Commodore 64 from Radio Shack/ GEnie SFRT member from 1993-1996

First is to update your Atheros/Broadcom driver for your G505 here:http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/wlan117w8.exe
From what I understand, the situation is that you get limited connectivity while your other devices that are connected to the router gets uninterrupted internet access.
After updating your drivers, you can try to flush your DNS cache by copy and pasting this code to your notepad and saving it as FlushDNS.bat
@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0
Note that this will restart your computer so make sure to save your session first.
Here's the link that explains the benefit of flushing DNS: http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/144365-network-posting-tips.html

Is there a problem with FaceTime, can not connect. When dial it connects and drops. When friends are calling me they have calling message and I have connecting but it does not connect. Need help, face time is my life line.

Face time not working. When dialled it says connecting and drops immediately. When my friends calling it show connecting but it does not.
Is there a problem with face time. I am in south Africa, it was working perfectly up to Easter. Please help this is my life line.

There is a barely acknowledged issue. For Mac users Apple has released an update to the app, but for iOS users the recommendation is for users to update their ipad to the most recent operating system.
There may be a fix coming for iOS6 users (which seem to be many of those having problems) or there may not be. If your ipad isn't up to date then you can update it and see if that helps, or if you don't want to update then you may want to wait and see if there is either a fix or if it fixes itself.

My i Phone drops WiFi connection after just a few minutes and wont reconnect unless I reset the network settings and reboot the phone?

My i Phone 4s has suddenly started to drop wifi connection after nealy months of near perfect connections?
To restore a wifi connection I have to reset the network settings and restart the phone, this only fixes the issues for around 2-3 mins?
Other quick fixes like switching wifi on and off/ switching to airoplane mode for a few secconds have no impact.
This is really annoying as I am using my data allowence very quickly, and as the phone is continually searching for a wifi connection the battery time has reduced dramatically.
I just wondered if any one else has the same issue, and any suggestions as to how I can fix this.
Thanks in Advance

Reboot.
Restore (from backup)
Restore (as new)
Test after each step. If one of them doesn't fix the problem, make an appointment at the genius bar.
