When screensaver is on, music stutters. In combination with airplay?

When my Apple TV G2 is playing (airplayed from macbook) music, and the screensaver (Reflections) kicks in, the music stutters often. Audio is digital out, photo's just from ATV (flowers). Seems like CPU has trouble.
have not tested it yet with digital off...

Yeah... MacMini seems to be a good choice until G6 hit the market...
But you have to be careful...Intel Macs are not as popular between developers as we would like them to, so if you have many other apps, you´re not going to be able to run them....by now
Any way, I agree with the rest of the guys above....MacMini 2.0 Dual, 2GbRam
sounds good to me too...May be I can also get out of the cavern of up-grading **** I´m living in..
Keep your eyes open...

I can longer find the airplay icon on my iPad when I double click the home icon. It worked fine and i used it for a couple of weeks to mirror with the Apple TV and then it mysteriously disappeared. Now when I double click and slide the icons at the bottom to far left, instead of finding airplay there is an extra music icon and a music control panel. If I open up the music app, there is an airplay icon top right next to volume control which works fine with mirroring the Apple TV, which suggests to me wi-if and networks are fine. I can only mirror music however. Any ideas anyone?

New iPad Music audio breaks up with Airplay

I have an Apple TV (HD 720), two New iPads (they both exhibit the same issue), and iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. Airplay works fine with most videos (eg youtube, vimeo, quicktime, etc.) BUT when I try to stream audio music through the Apple TV, the music badly breads up, just quick audio blips with a second in between. I found a Bible app that uses audio do the same thing. My iPhone 4 works just fine.
Next thing I'd note is that when I selected "Mirroring" the audio worked fine, but after 30 seconds or so the sound reverted from airplay back to my iPad on a recurring basis.
Lastly I would tell you that I restored my iPad to factory settings with no effect. Obviously I haven't had the New iPad for long and I recently updated my Apple TV to the latest software. I can't tell you if the problem existed before the update.
Any ideas? Sounds like a software problem to me?

I've got a Thomson Tg782t WiFi modem that I have used for years with no problems.
We recently turned the WiFi off on the Thomson and installed a Cisco Linksys E3200 to improve the bitrate for my son's games, and, you guessed it, Music from my iPad 2 started breaking up on the Apple TV 2. Video is fine and my iPhone 4 didn't have a problem.
On another forum someone else said they solved the problem by using the 3.4 GHz range from the Cisco router for the Apple TV and the 5 GHz range for the iPad. Apparently it works the other way round, too, just as long as the devices are using different frequencies.
I solved the problem by turning the WiFi back on on the Thomson, and running all my iGadgets through that.
Looks like there's something going on between iOS Music and Cisco E3200s. No idea what.

No Music On Apple TV's AirPlay

My music will not play with AirPlay from my Apple TV when using my iPhone but my videos will, to get the music to play I have to reset the Apple TV and then it will play for a day or two... All my software is up to date on all devices.

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.

Apple tv stop streaming when screensaver starts

When I am listening to Spotify from My iPad through appletv the appletv stop streaming the music when screensaver turn in. It worked before the last update of appletv.

Try to restart your wireless router.... Do you have issues with connectivity when using netflix or crackle apps on the ATV?

When I'm playing music from my laptop on my Apple TV, I'd like to shrink the album on the screen so it's in the bottom corner, not filling the screen.

When I'm playing music from my laptop on my Apple TV2, I'd like to shrink the album on the screen so it's in the bottom corner, not filling the screen.

I don't believe that's possible. It will either fill the screen, or will show a thumbnail when the screensaver is on (disappearing after a few seconds)

When I listen to music on my iPhone and pause it, if I come back to it later, the playlist has started over. I have a 4S running on iOS 7.0.4. Is there any way to keep this from happening so that my playlist will start off where I last was?

No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
That would depend on what you are trying to do.

I got a new laptop and downloaded iTunes, when I put new music on it for the first time, my entire music library disappeared, leaving me with only newly downloaded music in my library. My iPod still has all my old music.

Recently, I bought a new laptop (a Lenovo), so I downloaded iTunes to it. When I bought new music from iTunes for the first time on the new computer, I went to my music library and there was no music, except for the new songs I had just bought. I have no idea what happened, I've had hundreds of songs I've bought from iTunes or downloaded from bought CDs over the years, which are all still on my iPod (nano, from 2008), and suddenly they just didn't seem to exist. I have yet to access the iTunes account on my previous laptop to see if my music is still there, but I would assume yes. When I went to sync my iPod to my iTunes to at least get the new songs to the iPod (so that my complete library can be on at least one device), I realized that in order to sync my iPod to my iTunes, I would be deleting all my old music and replacing it with the new. So now, I only have a few new songs on my laptop's iTunes, and only my old songs on my iPod. In both cases I paid for all the music, so I don't want to just delete any of it. Is there any way to fix this?

Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer. I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos. I can't see videos, music, or anything else. What's going on?

When I add new music to iTunes, it doesn't appear under artists or anywhere else in library.

The other night, I tried adding a bunch of music that I had sitting on my Seagate external hard drive to my iTunes library, which is also located on my external. I attempted to add around 1,500 songs at once. It was giving me problems at first and only added some of the music so I tried again. Now I have a problem.
When I add new music, iTunes only recognizes that I added it after I close iTunes are restart it. But then, the music doesn't show up under artists or anything. The new music shows up under the Recently Added smart playlist, the folder is located in the iTunes library, and when you search for the music it says its there, but it's not under artists or in the song list or anything.
Example:
1. Added music from Abandon All Ships! (who I didn't have before), but they don't show up under artists despite the fact that iTunes says the music is there.
2. Added music from Whitechapel (who I had before), but the album doesn't show up with the rest.
Hopefully this makes sense the way I explained it. It's all rather frustrating.

I want to use an old 3 GS iPhone that is no longer in service as a phone now as just an iPod to play music. When I connect the phone to the computer with iTunes running, iTunes says it can't connect to the device because it didn't get a valid response from the device. How can I get the system to recognize the phone, and let me rename it as my iPod, instead of my phone?
As an aside, the current installed operating system on this old iPhone is 4.2.1, but that wasn't one of the selectable options in the operating system list dropdown below. Don't know if that makes any difference.

ITunes plays videos and podcasts when I click on music.

Hi all I have a problem.
when i click on music in the left menu. I notice when playign through my music set to randome that i get all media including podcasts, mpe books and other things that i woul dnot expect to be showing. I just want to randomly cycle through my music not listen to the books and podcasts etc.
is there a way to resove this issue.
OS: OSX 10.9.2, Mavericks
Itunes: 11.1.5 (s) 64-bit
Thanks for any ideas, tips, tricks and all you wish to share to help resolve this.
Edit: A good way to fix this would be able to select the type of media so it shows up in the right place. eg when importing or editing the album, file, cd podcast etc be able to select what type of media it is eg music, video, podcast, books and have the catogries show. only in what is selected. I have not come accross this feature.

See:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
You may need a computer app like the free HandBrake to convert the format to one compatible with the iPod.

When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in, but always the same album (which I nevr asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I control what is going on and choose the album myself.

When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in aafter about ten minutes, but always the same album (which I never asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I choose a different album myself and control the order and format?

Thank you Winston for a helpful response and for reminding me of something which I found nearly a year ago and then lost (in my mind) because I did not use it. I am grateful for a correct answer but it still only achieves part of what I wanted.
I can now choose my photos, decide how long they stay on screen and choose one of a variety of presentations. Two things I still can't do.
One is to get it to play the photos in the chronological order in which I have carefully set them in an album; it still tends to be random and repetitive. The other is that I cannot get any of them them to saty on screen for more than about 20 seconds. I guess this is all due to the way Apple TV is constructed.
But still thanks, nevertheless.

When I search a music artist in the itunes store and then click to view all albums the screen is blank.

When I search a music artist in the itunes store and then click to view all albums the screen is blank. Why is itunes store not showing me all of the Albums?

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
