Two computer set up ..... music and slideshow issue

I have my Apple TV set up to stream my music from my main computer and stream my Aperture photos that are on another computer. I can access both my swapping the source on the Apple TV.... but i want to be able to play my music while having a slideshow of my photos...... i cannot seem to get this to work as the sources are different on the Apple TV ..... is there a way to do this ?
Many Thanks

I don't think yoiu can stream from two different source computers at the same time. Move the music to the same computer as the photo slideshow.

Hi, I upgraded from iOS 5.1.1, to iOS 6, and it's ridiculously slow, I can't sync to my computer, (manually manage music), and all of my photos were gone. How can I get my photos back? It says restoring photos, but it's said that for two days now!

It just does't sync. I connect it to itunes, but nothing happens. Where it says how much space I have, it's just on ebig bar that says other. I can play my music on itunes, but not when i unplug it.
All of my photos were gone, i took and saved them with my ipod.
The photo app is saying restoring.
What should i do?

My Music and Slideshow

Hello,
Not sure if I am missing something but I want to be able to go to My Music, choose an album or song and start playing the music. Then navigate to Photos and start a slideshow. Every time I do this the music stops playing when I get to the Photo menu. Is there a way to have music I have chosen on my own play while watching a slideshow. I do not want to have to go into the Photo Settings and set a specific playlist to play while watching a slideshow. A lot of times we have people over and they may want to listen to something different other then playlists that I already have set up or a random song from my music library. I have over 7,000 songs in the library and there's a good chance they may not like ma lot of them.
Using Apple TV 2.1, all music and photos are synced to the A TV.

Hi,
I agree that what you describe would be a nice way for the ATV to work, but right now it doesn't work that way. You're either in Music mode or Photos mode, but not both. So, given the device's current way of working you have a couple of choices.
1. Photo mode
Why not make a playlist in iTunes on your computer specifically for photo slideshows, selecting a collection of songs that you feel would go well in most situations. Or you could have multiple photo playlists such as Holidays, Serious etc. Then simply sync the ATV and the playlist will be available under Photos, Settings.
2. Music mode
In General, Settings set the screensaver to show a slideshow of your photo album of choice, then go into Music and select whatever you want to play. The downside here is you have to wait for two minutes before the screensaver kicks in: it'd be nice if they provided a way for ATV users to invoke the screensaver on demand, like "Hot Corners" on the Mac.
Personally I prefer method one, because in Photo mode you can pause the slideshow wherever you want, move forward and back through photos with the remote, then resume when you're ready. With the screensaver touch any button on the remote and it cancels and your two minute wait begins again.

AE and Computer- Audio dropping out and stuttering issues

Hi all,
I recently bought an Airport Express 2 weeks ago. I hooked the unit up in my bedroom via ethernet(roaming) method. I use Airplay and turn on Computer and Airport Express to play both in my living room and my bedroom at the same time. Problem is I'm noticing my iTunes in my living room exhibits some stuttering during songs or the audio will start to drop out intermittently and sometimes shuts off completely but the Airport Express is still playing in my bedroom without issue. I've tried turing off the wireless but it doesn't do anything. When I turn off AE in Airplay and just play using the Computer it works fine. I'm not sure what can be causing the interference but it seems its between my computer and AE when they are both turned on. I would appreciate any suggestions forum members have to help me resolve this issue. I have the 2nd generation AE. Thanks a lot.

Hi Macthemini,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are experiencing issues with AirPlay between iTunes on a Mac mini and your AirPort Express. The following resource outlines troubleshooting issues for AirPlay performance:
iTunes: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203822
Troubleshooting performance issues
Wi-Fi Connection
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your AirPlay-enabled device.
Ensure that other devices aren't trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.

Iphone 6 and syncing music and movies issues

I have tried multiple time to syncing my music and movies to my new iPhone 6 with iOS 8.02. I have an iMac with iOS 10.9.5 and iTunes 11.4. I am unable to sync my music or movies. All either do not sync to the iPhone or if they do I playlists are dropped and when I select a song another is played. I have tried reseting the phone and different sync settings. Nothing I have done or forum suggestions I have followed have worked.
I have been using Macs and iPhones for years. This is the first time I have had this problem. The problem extends to my iPad 4 after updating to iOS 8.
Seems to me that there is something seriously wrong with this software either iOS 8.02 alone or in combination with iTunes 11.4.
I am beyond frustrated. This software update is a disaster.

I had this problem - was driving me crazy. I tried many things including restores etc. The following solved it:
Go into iTunes
Open up your new iPhone on the tab in the top right corner
In the Summary box - simply unclick "Sync only checked songs and videos"
Click apply
Then I was fixed!
Good luck

Double computer name on network and NAT issue with Back to My Mac

These are the problems I am having:
When my MacPro workstation (which on the network is named "The Beast") wakes from sleep - I get a message saying "there is already a computer on the network with the name "The Beast". Other computers on the network can now find you at "The Beast-2"" and it gives me a new name in the file sharing preferences - even though it is the only computer on the network with that name.
Why is this happening???
The other problem is with BackTo My Mac - When I try to enable it - I get an error message saying "Turn off NAT Addressing" - which I thought was turned off since the AEBS is in Bridge Mode. Why is this happening?
Here is my network setup which consists of the Modem / Router from my ISP - an Airport Extreme Base Station and one Airport Express - which is connected to my MacPro via ethernet. The MacPro does not have an airport card installed and is running OSX 10.6.8 - all other computers / devices are running 10.7.x and iOS6).
VDSL Modem / Router (from Internet provider) with wireless turned off - (so it is not broadcasting a competing wireless signal) - connected via ethernet to my Airport Extreme Base Station.
Here are all the settings on the AEBS and the Airport Express: - I am using Airport Utility 5.6.1 on my Mac Pro running OSX 10.6.8 - so the setup prefs are different than the newer version of Airport Utility found on 10.7.x systems - but both work fine. Although I did notice that the option to allow ethernet clients to connect to the Airport Express does not exist (or I just didn't find it) in the newer version of Airport Utility.
Airport Extreme Base Station is set up as follows:
Wireless Mode: Create a Wireless Network
Wireless Settings:
Allow this network to be extended IS CHECKED
Radio Mode: 802.11n (b and g compatible)
Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
Access Control:
MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled
Internet Settings:
Internet Connection:
Connect Using: Ethernet
Connection Sharing: OFF (Bridge Mode).
TCP/IP:
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
Advanced Settings:
Logging & Statistics:
Syslog Destination Address is blank (as in nothing appears in this field).
Syslog Level: 5 - Notice
Allow SNMP is CHECKED
MobileMe:
Back to my Mac is turned off - but if I try to turn it on I get an error message saying "Turn off NAT Addressing - which I thought was turned off since the AEBS is in Bridge Mode. Why is this happening?
IPv6:
IPv6 Mode: Link-local only
As stated - my MacPro with no wifi card - is connected via ethernet to an Airport Express which connects wirelessly to the AEBS for network and internet access.
Airport Express Settings:
Airport Settings:
Wireless Mode: Join a Wireless Network
Allow Ethernet Clients IS CHECKED
Wireless Security WPA/WPA2 Personal
Internet Settings: Are grayed out (as in I can't change these settings - I assume because they are being controlled by the AEBS) and read as follows:
Connect Using: Wireless Network
Connection Sharing: OFF (Bridge Mode)
TCP/IP:
Configure IPv4: using DHCP
All other settings are identical to the AEBS.
All other WiFi devices in the house (MacBook Pro, iPhones, iPad's, iMac, Apple TV, Nintendo Wii etc…all are able to connect to the network and connect to the internet - no problem.
Thanks for any insights into what might be causing the double name on the network and why it is asking me to turn off NAT addressing - when both my Airport devices are in Bridge Mode?

I am also having this issue... any updates on this??

Timing of music and slideshow

Most songs have dead space for a few seconds at the end of the song. I have used iTunes Info to set the ending point for a song that was used in iPhoto slideshow. But it does not seem to detect that end point.
Is there anyway to have a song end properly with the last photo?

Barry:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The iTunes "edit" is only recognized by iTunes. You can use Garageband as jdickey suggested (it's free) or a 3rd party audio editor like Amadeus II. With it you can combine two or more tracks, doing a overlap fade in/out type of transition, etc. and then save as a single new file. Then import that file and use it. Just remember to always save as a new file as you don't want to mess up any of the original tracks.
I tried GB but found it to complicated for this old amphibian and was using Amadeus before I got GB to try. If you're familar with GB then it will do the job. Good luck.

Re-Install music and permissions issues

I was having a problem with my imac and i was told that I had to make a clean install of the system on my computer. I was backing up regularly so I figured that this would not be a problem.
Because my new system name does not quite match up with my old one I can't just replace the files (they all come up with little do not enter signs on them.)
My quesion is once I retrive my Itunes library and all the music where do I put it so it will show up in my new one?
And how do I change permissions on them so I can open them?

The default location of your iTunes music should be HD>Users>Your Account>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music - If you have set your iTunes preferences to 'keep' and 'copy' then that is where your tunes would be - UNLESS you changed the location in iTunes prefs>Advanced>General.
If you are refused access to the iTunes folder(s) then you can do a 'Get Info' on the folder and change the access in the 'Sharing and Permissions' tab at the bottom of the window.
Whenever doing a reinstall it is usually easier to do an Archive and Install - that way all your old stuff is moved to another folder but you retain the same user name. I made the mistake with my new MBP and decided that it was better to do a another install from a backup disk so I retained my original user name.

Music and slideshow

How do you have iphoto via itunes, continue to play more than the one song you can choose from your collection, so that in lond slide shows the some song doesn't keep on playing??
Thanks,
GH

Two ways
click on the slide show and on the music tab in the dialogue box that comes up
There there are two ways -- click on itunes so you have a list of iTunes songs in the window and command (the apple key) click each song you want to play
Or scroll down past iTunes to your play lists and select a play list you want

Iphone: from old computer to new (music and playlist drama)

I bought a new laptop.. now how will I be able to edit songs, play lists on new computer?
I already authorized the new computer....

iluvfifi, Good luck with that!! I'm sure that noone at Apple reads these, and they could care less about us "little people". I just spent friggen' HOURS trying to do that!! I'm so irritated with Apple right now; as soon as I can, I'm ditching this stupid iPhone and getting something non-apple!! I finally got all my music transferred to my new computer, and most of it is now missing from my phone (singles, downloaded CDs, etc), so, against my better judgement, I purchased the stupid iMatch crap, since it's "supposed" to transfer EVERYTHING, but of course, it didn't, and now I'm out 30.00 A YEAR!!! I just want my music back, and my friggen' money!!! They make iTunes nonuser friendly on purpose, you know? They do it so we are forced to spend $30 on their stupid iMatch crap that doesn't even work!

HT201272 All of my music in iTunes has disappeared. Two years worth of music and work, GONE! How can I get it back?

All of my music has disappeared. It appears after a recent update, the files from the past 2 years are gone. They are not in any of the music folders or other download folders either.
How can this be fixed as it's not my error the songs are missing?
Thank you,
Shane

See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash or Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
If the media files really have been deleted, and there is no other source, then there are various undelete tools ranging from free, e.g. FreeRecover, to expensive which might help depending on how the files/folders were deleted and how much work is involved in recovering them. Either way, the more you do with the drive the less chance they have of being able to recover your data successfully. You should also extract the data to another drive to avoid corrupting what has yet to be rescued.
Note also that some "free" recovery tools are bait & switch. The free download will show what can be recovered, but you have to pay up before it actually pulls out any data.

How do I transfer music and playlists from an external hard drive to my new computer?

I just got a new pc and I need to transfer music and playlists that were saved to an external drive from 2 seperate computers. There are 2 different sets of music and playlists, one mine and the other my husbands.
Is it possible to put both onto my new pc, and if so...how. I am needing a step by step instruction as I am not real familiar with how to make these changes on iTunes.
Thanks in advance
