Apple TV not working well with time capsule

So, I have an apple time capsule which serves two functions: wifi base station and the repository for my massive iTunes library. I connect this via wifi to my Apple TV (not sure which generation it is). The media seems to play well when I play it on my computer, but the Apple TV has a very hard time playing it, sometimes not even showing pieces of media I know are there. Also, doing airplay from my computer or iPad to the Apple TV is very inconsistent. Also experience the same playing issue with netflix. I have recently resorted to watching most things on my iPad and experience no problems.
Suggestions? One thing that comes to my mind is to do a factory settings reset on the Apple TV. Would that do anything?

Hi zachfromind,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand you are having issues with content on your Apple TV. It sounds like you have everything set up correctly and you are very aware of how the content should be displayed and played. At this point yes, I would suggest restoring the Apple TV back to factory settings and then joining it back to your network and testing. It sounds like you are familiar with the process but you can use the following article for reference if needed.

Using a second external HD along with Time Capsule

I've been using an external HD as a floating hardrive on my network for quite some time now (a little less than a year). It's been working fine until just recently when I updated the Time Capsule's firmware. Now the external is not available via Finder. I've made sure all the physical connections are secure. The external HD has it's own power source and I have been using a powered USB hub to connect it to the Time Capsule since I have a floating printer on my network, as well. I just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions or if anyone else has experienced any issues with the latest Time Capsule firmware.
Thanks for any help or assistance you can give.

The external drive must be formatted HFS+ .. in long hand that is Mac OS extended Journaled.
TM cannot use any other format.
The drive should also be GUID partitioned but that is not so vital... or AFP but that is very old.. stick with GUID.
Also called GPT.

I cannot get my seagate HDD to work correctly with Time Capsule USB

I have been using my seagate expansion 2tb powered HDD happily with itunes connected directly to my imac. i would like to move it to my TC via usb. it is having none of it. it is formatted using mac os extended (journaled) and it will only show up in airport utility. not in finder or anywhere. i have reformatted it to no avail. i have change the preferences to show everything in finder( i think) finder only comes up with 'data' on the TC which is the TCs internal HD. please help

Your 1.8 TB Seagate is not formatted as it contains NO partition.
Compare to the entry above: Drive is "Time Capsule Disk" Partition is "TC Data"
In Disk Utility it should look similar to this:
where 1TB STxxxxx is the Disk (Media) and "time machine" is the name of the usable partition.
Plug the disk to your computer
Open Disk Utility
Choose the disk (click on it)
Click on the Partition section
Under "Current Scheme" select the wanted partition scheme
Under "Name" give a name.
(If you choose to create more than one partition on the disk , give every partition a name)
Under "Format" choose "Mac OS Extended (journaled)
Click "Apply"
When the run is finished, eject the disk from Finder and plug again to the Time Machine.
After that you will find the drive (partition) also on Finder / Shares

Can I use apple TV on home network with time capsule or Airport Xtreme without being connected to the internet?

I'm wondering if I can use Apple TV to play movies and slide shows on my TV, play music over my sound system and print from my devices (Iphone 4S, iPad and MacBook pro 2011) by using an Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule (to back up the devices) if those devices are not connected to the internet. Can anyone advise pls? Reason for this is that I work on a moving ship and don't have an internet connection to speak of for much of the time (and if I do it's a wireless system that I need to pay by the minute and that is too slow to support the Apple TV), but would all the same like to create a wireless environment where my devices can interact with each other. I seem to get conficting info and a rep at the apple store in Honolulu told me that you cannot use Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule without an internet connection (it was busy, he may have misunderstood my question).
Looking forward to your input.

Don't try to home share it.. as that is dependent on using Apple ID.
Just airplay to the ATV.. iTunes: Using AirPlay
The movie should play exactly as your doing music.. but get rid of the whole home share if that is causing issues.. there is no mention of needing home share in the above..
If you still have issues you might need to do it other ways.. like export the movie from itunes.. and play it using vlc which should allow you to stream it to the apple TV using airplay.
That is a bit tricky and I have not used that setup but it should work.
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/23412/can-i-stream-any-video-played-wit h-vlc-player-to-apple-tv
If you have a hunt around you should find it fairly easy to do.. but straight airplay should work.. there is a very recent update to ATV which might help it with airplay.

HT4260 Can an Airport Extreme be used to form a roaming network with Time Capsule?

I tried the on-line instructions above to extend my Wi-Fi network with a roaming network but the graphics in the instrucions apparently show an earlier version of Airport Utility. Following the intent of the instructions, e.g., ethernet cable connection ports, etc., all I have achieved is a yellow flashing light on Airport Extreme. Airport Extreme has been reset to factory settings but it is not seen by the network.
Do I have it backward, for example, should the Airport Extreme be the base station and the TIme Capsule be the extended station?
What do you think I am doing wrong? Or, is this an impossible extension?
Thanks, Chad

Suggest that you use the much more functional and useful AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion which was released at the same time as AirPort Utility 6.0.
Keep both 5.6 and 6.0 on your Mac and use the one that you want.
Post back if you need more assistance.

Using the Network Three Wifi Dongle with Time-capsule

Hi folks, i have just joined the forum today but have been an apple user for 2 years now. I do not use a router to get on the inter as I have recently purchased the 3 WiFi Dongle (mifi) and just wirelessly connect my ipad, iphone and macbook pro to it. My question is can I connect my macbook pro to my dongle and also to time-capsule wirelessly at the same time or is it only 1 device at a time?
Also is there a way I can connect my USB wifi Dongle to my time-capsule and just have everything connecting to my Time-capsule?
Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Welcome to the discussion area, harperdg33!
You might want to take a look a device this this USB Broadband Adapter to provide an ethernet signal to your Time Capsule, which in turn could act as the wireless router for your network.
The key element with any adapter like this is to verify that it supports your particular service, so you may need to do some checking about this.

What external hard drives work well with time machine?

I'm a new mac user - trying to decide what to buy for an external hard drive. Thoughts on features to look for?

yes, there are compatibility issues. TM drive has to be formatted Mac os extended journaled with GUID partition scheme for use with intel macs. you'll need to reformat the drive for that as most new drives are formatted FAT with MBR partition scheme. also, Mac os extended format is not readable by windows without special software. so what you need to do is reformat the drive on your mac for TM and make a partition on it which you can format FAT. you can use that partition to get stuff from windows and the other partition for TM.

Will the mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device? Which device works well with the Mac? Do I need anything else to get the dvd material onto my mac? Thanks!!

No DV port in camcorder. Just a yellow AV port/hole. I did find a Canopus ADVC110 device in a box that was bought several years ago to convert VHS tapes onto DVD's. Can I use this with a Mac? Could I connect a dvd player to the Canopus and transfer the disks onto my Mac? Or, connect the camcorder via AV port to the Canopus and that to the Mac and transfer that way? Thanks again!

Photo Booth will not open. My camera works well with other apps.

try running it in either 32 or 64bit mode and see if this changes the experience. Locate the icon in Finder, right click "get-info" on it and see the checkmarks "run in 32bit mode" ..
on Lion some users had trouble opeining pb when "iglasses" was installed, also a thing to check.
Else repair permissions of the disk, using Apples disk utility app.

HT1602 Hi, does my iPhone need to be on the left side of my body to work well with the Nike+ sensor in my shoes? I used it on my right side and the calibration was so off point.

Hi, does my iPhone need to be on the left side of my body to work well with the Nike+ sensor in my shoes? I used it on my right side and the calibration was so off point. I recently got a Bluetooth headphone and the antennae is on the right ear piece. For seamless connection am required to have my iPhone on my right arm if am using the headphone outdoors.

I was wondering this too. Did you ever get an answer? I just bought a non-nike pair of sneakers and have a pod pouch now on my laces. I have it tight, at the lower part of the laces so its flat. When its on the left side my time is very similar to what it was when I used the nike shoes. When it is on the right side, my time is about 35sec/mile higher. I wonder which is more accurate and if you are supposed to have them on the same side. If so, then that is as accurate as with my nike shoes. Hope we get an answer soon. Im about to return everything its so frustrating.

This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.
