Weird problem with the apple tv (3rd gen) playing choppy iTunes Music

I have a weird problem with the apple tv(3rd gen) when i use my macbook pro to play itunes music via airplay the music is extremely choppy however that only happens if I have both my mac and apple tv connected to the same 5 ghz band on my dual band wifi network if i switch either one of my mac or apple tv to the 2.4 ghz band it works fine. I would like to find a solution instead of having to do this work around because i prefer my 5 ghz band for both my mac and apple tv and have my other things connected to my 2.4 ghz.

5 GHz, so far as I'm aware transfers no more data than 2.4 Ghz. There are other things involved that might help data through volume such as the wifi standard or dual width channels, but essentially if you compare like for like they are they same for the amount of data they can send. The main advantage of 5GHz is that it's less susceptible to interference and potentially more private.
It's possible that you have different issues on each band, I couldn't say at this time but have you checked for interference.

    Do a reset of everything on your ipod. Then reconnect it and it should work.

    You can't do what you want with iCloud.  You will need to setup remote access to your main computer with VPS or some similar remote access application.   With VPS you have an application running on your main computer turning it into a server and an client app on your laptop so you can access it remotely.  There are many such apps out there, some probably more feature filled than VPS.  You might post in the system forum that you're running and ask there.

    having problem with the apple tv, because it still setting date and time and dont finish w the activation

    That means it is having trouble connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly. Go to settings - general - network and ensure DNS is set to automatic. Check that your router is up to date. If on wifi try Ethernet.

  • Washed clothes with the ipod suffle 3rd gen in the pocket.

    Washed clothes with the ipod suffle 3rd gen in the pocket.
    Now when turn it ON, it showed green light for two-three seconds after charging it in computer for 20 minutes and then nothing. It does not play anything, nothing hears after pressing any button. Its been like this for last 5-6 days. However, it recognizes in the itunes and shows the songs. I tried syncing it in a different computer, it was recognized there also. Still it is not working.
    What to do?
    plz help

    1. If the device was wet you should not have turned it on or connected it to the computer, as you may have caused more damage.
    2. Let the iPod dry out fully. To help it do this, store it in a sealed container with some dry rice. The rice will absorb the water from the iPod, leave it at least 3-4 days before you try it again.

  • A VERY weird problem with the screen?!!!

    Ok, first of all, I apologize for the title of the question above, it was difficult to put my problem into words.
    I use the Instagram app a lot on my 3 month old retina iPad.  I have pressed the little thingy on the bottom right of the screen that reads ( x2 ) and always use the app in this bigger form.
    When I brows the internet or read a book I have no problem, but today when I opened a picture with a dark brown color I noticed that there are parallel vertical lines on the screen that are of a lighter shade. I naturally though it was a problem with the picture so I checked it on another one and they are still there. Very faint and hardly noticeable but THERE. 
    Now to the big surprise.
    I realized the vertical lines are a faint outline of the Instagram app!!!!!!! The lines match the lines on the popular page (or people's accounts) where the pictures are placed in columns, the parts that are black between the pictures? Those perfectly match the faint lines on my screen!!!
    Guess what.
    After a few minutes of shock I noticed that there is even a faint outline of the home button too.
    WHAT is this?
    What could have gone wrong?
    My iPad has never been dropped, never in contact with water, never over heated, never opened....
    WHAT?

    I don't know if that will help at all. I just didn't realize that you had it turned on, that may have nothing to do with it, but its worth a try. At least it will be something that you can eliminate.
    If rebooting the iPad helped at all, you can consider resetting all settings. When you do that though, you must re-enter all of the device settings again. It's sort of a pain to have to reset all of your customized settings and it will take some time, but it doesn't erase any data. It does mean that you have to re-enter WiFi passwords, turn Siri on agai, allow apps access to location services and photos .... All of that good stuff.
    I hope for your sake, thatit's just some weird anomaly going on with the screen right now and that it will correct itself. You could try closing all apps in the recents tray, restart the iPad and see if the ghosting goes away. That's harmless enough to try.

  • Safari & Firefox having problems with the Apple Store

    Hi there,
    I'm having issues using the Apple Store I'd really appreciate some help with. Whenever I go there, whether I'm using Firefox or Safari, I always get a pop-up menu come down, even when I haven't clicked on anything. And it won't go away, so I can't see alot of the stuff on the site, making it unusable. It's best described by a screen shot:
    [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/HeavenOnEarth/Picture21.png[/IMG]
    The box on the right comes up without me clicking on anything, the activity wheel at the top of it never changes into anything (just keeps spinning round) and there is no 'close' or 'cancel' button to make it go away. If you look at the bottom of the pop-up, you can see it doesn't even render properly.
    I called the Apple Store number about this and he said to clear all my private data. I have done that in Safari, as it's not my main browser so doesn't matter to me. In Firefox I have only partially done this; I cleared all cookies, the cache, browsing history, download history, saved form information and authenticated sessions. Neither worked to make the pop-up box go away. I could not face clearing saved passwords or saved sessions (with my Tab Mix Plus add-on) in Firefox, so I'm going to try anything else I can think of to solve this before resorting to that.
    I'm guessing this is some problem in the overall system, rather than in either of the browsers, given that they both do it. Would something like Onyx or Cocktail help?
    Also, both my browsers are quite old; Firefox is 1.5.0.6 and Safari is 2.0.4... I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I'm hoping not. With alot of plug-ins and an already overloaded computer, I'd rather not update to the more processor-intensive new versions. I want a new computer soon, so I'm hoping I can put-off updating til then.
    So if anyone can tell me what to do, I'd be most grateful. I really need to use the Apple Store to look into what Mac to get to upgrade, and right now I just can't shop properly.
    Thanks,
    Charity

    We are all just fellow users here and would have no way of knowing. You'll need to call the Apple Store and ask.
    Regards.

  • Slow streaming problem with New Apple TV (2nd Gen)

    All,
    I'm using an ADSL 4meg link to my house. Sustained download speeds from most decent websites comes in well over 300KB/sec I can preview movies from Itunes, using my IMAC wirelessly using Netgear DG834/g router within seconds...Using Apple TV the Preview takes well over a minute, and to download a Standard Def movie takes 3 hours, which is really annoying, why is this when the same kit/infrastructure can view YouTube content within seconds. Using Ethernet makes no difference to the download time, (for those that were gonna suggest a Wireless Router problem). I've read these threads and Apple themselves suggest a 2MB link or over is adequate. Has anyone come across this, can advise. I've just today downloaded the 4.1.1 update, makes no difference.....HELP...PLEASE....

    Easy...slow internet speed with slow wifi router = looong download times. Do the maths :
    Average SD movie size approx 1.5 GB (1500 MB)
    Average HD movie size approx 3.5GB (3500 MB)
    Your advertised internet speed is 4Mbps = 0.5 MB/s. Rarely you can get that advertised speed. Let say you can reach an optimistic average of 0.25 MB/s (250 KB/s)
    1500 MB / 0,25 MB/s = 6000s = 100 min so approx 2 hours. On top of that, if your router doesn't work at full speed because distance from the Apple TV, walls, interference, etc.....= long download times.
    For those who complain about long download times with HD movie, repeat the same exercise and you "will see the light". And by the way, hopefully you are kidding when you compare Youtube content with iTunes store content.
    Secret : Fast Internet connection + fast reliable n router = great Apple TV performance.

  • Problems with the Apple ProTraining Series Logix Exp book

    I'm trying to learn this stuff, but the lessons in the Training Series book give instructions to do things in menus that seem not to exist in Logic Express. Is this a function of the book serving both Pro and Express versions and not differentiating the possibilities? Or are the books out of date?
    Specifically, page 127 it tells me to choose Region>Split/Demix> etc, but that split/demix command is not offered.

    The docs that come with LE and the ones available from the Apple site, etc. are definitely screwed up. As I plod slowly through yet another PDF I am constantly finding things that do not work as described in LE and then stumble sideways through the secret undocumented menu trap door that allows the desired function. I refuse to spend money on third party docs. LE is an amazing deal for $300, tack on an additional $100-$200 for information that should come with the program and it becomes less of a deal. I can't speak about the Sitter programs being helpful or not because I haven't used them, a lot of people on this forum seem to dig them, but I'm sorry to hear that it's not helping you. Nonetheless, this is not rocket science and I have faith in everybody's ability to learn LE if they really want to. It's just a program. When you can't figure something out call Apple if you're still covered for free tech help. If not, search this forum and then post a question if you have to. Some posters will give you the RTFM treatment, some will take the time to answer your question. There's nothing wrong with using GB either if that's what works most efficiently for you. Or you can be ambidexterous and use both.

  • Problem with the Apple Discussions

    When I'm logged into the Apple Discussions, it says I have 2 unresolved questions. When I click, My Questions, it says I have no unresolved questions. When I DO have 1 question, it says I have 3 unresolved questions.

    We often see this problem when questions are asked in a pre-release forum and it does not receive an answer before we close that area. We have a member of our staff looking through older removed forums trying to clear out these unanswered questions that authors can no longer access.

  • Hello, I would just like to report the little problem with the apple store. When I try to download an app it loads for about 2 seconds and then it stops downloading! I don't know what's wrong

    Hi, when I try to download an application the app stores downloads it for about 2 seconds and then it stops downloading it! I don't know what's wrong?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
    Release the Buttons...
    If no joy...Reset all settings
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

  • Problem with the iPod memory status colour bar in iTunes 7

    Hello
    The iPod memory status bar in iTunes (the one with different colour bars that show the proportion of total memory filled by music, video, photos, other) says that 26gb of my 30gb iPod is filled, and 26gb is free. Clearly that cannot be the case as that's way over 100% of the iPod's memory. Resetting the iPod has not solved this problem as when I fill it back up with songs, videos etc this glitch returns. Can anyone help please?
