Why do I have to quit itunes and restart when I want to watch movies on my Apple TV?

Every day I come home and put on a movie or TV show from my iTunes library but every day when I go into the Apple TV to the computers,  it says "loading Mac" but times out and goes back to themain screen.  Only after I quit itunes on my computer and restart it will it find the itunes and show the contents of my itunes library.
It is getting frustrating.  This began about 2 software updates ago.  I even bought the new Apple TV

Lion may have replaced files that partially made up your printer drivers. Either way, HP saw fit to make a new set of drivers specifically for 10.7 so you may want to use it simply to avoid any bugs tehy found.

  • TS3276 I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

    I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

    I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
    My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As".  So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail.  I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Here's what I know:
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
    The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
    I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update.  None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them.  This is maddening!  What can be done?  Apple?? Anyone???

  • I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
    All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
    Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
    If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
    On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
    Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

  • ITunes keeps crashing when I try to watch movies

    Since the latest iTunes & Quicktime update, I am unable to watch any of the movies I have downloaded on iTunes. I've completely deleted both iTunes and Quicktime and reinstalled the latest versions of both. When I click to play a video, the movie will not play and I get an error dialogue box that indicates iTunes has stopped working - windows isn't able to detect an error.
    I've contacted iTunes/Apple support and they tell me it's a system issue, but there aren't any other problems with my computer.  I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate.  Any ideas or suggestions would be really helpful!
    Thanks

  • Why must I have a serial number for support when I want to talk specifically about the PC itunes?

    Ok, so I have had many problems using iTunes since I started using iMatch, and it is getting on my nerves. All I want to do is ask if there is a way to fix my problem with some of my songs or not. I do not want  to talk about any of my apple devices. Just iTunes itself. That being said. How do I email iTunes support for iTunes alone, not the store. I can't find the email anywhere. I'm getting fed up, and tired of going in circles.

    call back and give the case #
    in my experience, the first person you talk with will be able to pull up the case history very quickly

  • Visual Studio quits responding and restarts when trying ot open any project

    Hi,
    According to your description, I recommend you can follow up these steps below to handle the issue:
    First, try to disable the windows process which is running.
    Second, you say you can run VS in the safeMode. It seems there is something wrong with VSCommands extension or other plugin. You can try to disable all extensions, restart visual studio and re-enable them; sometimes it resolves such issue.
    Third, you can try to reset your Vs by devenv.exe:

    Please update the result after you already try methods above.
    Best Wishes!

  • Serious Mac Problem : Why does my mac went really slow and then when I want to re-open it, it won't let me

    Yesterday I was working on my computer.
    I was about to start a new text on word.
    Suddently, the mac keeps on showing me the circle with all the colours for a lot of times.
    Then after what maybe 5 or 10 minutes, it got stuck there.
    I couldn't do anything except to shut it down or to wait.
    So I closed the computer and I came back the other day to see if it wasn't just a little problem.
    I open the mac and the Apple sign showed up and I had to wait for atleast 1h so here I am wondering if my computer is broken or just really old to work properly.
    If anyone of you knows what's going with my mac or if you ever had that type of problem with your computer and you know how to deal with it,
    please help me out.
    thank you in advance

  • I have m4v files that have subtitles and sound options they play fine on my computer in itunes and but  when i watch them on my apple tv there is video but no sound ... why ?

    I have m4v files that have subtitles and sound options they play fine on my computer in itunes and but  when i watch them on my apple tv there is video but no sound ... why ? all my other videos are fine and they in mp4 format.

    Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

  • HT204411 iTunes store - I live in the German speaking part of Switzerland (and have a credit card address here too) but want to watch films in English, Italian, or French. Why are films not available in these other languages ?

    Hello, I live in the German speaking part of Switzerland (and have a credit card address here too) but want to watch films in English, Italian, or French. Why are films not available in these other languages ? Unless I am mistaken, iTunes Switzerland is far from Swiss and does not encourage its people to watch films in the local languages of its country (at least French and Italian would be good too...). Can anyone help ? Do I have to move to Geneva to watch a non French film in French or Lugano to watch a non Italian film in Italian or simply buy a DVD to get round it?

    I have the same problem. I want to watch any movies in French (in the original, or subtitled and/or dubbed). But I cannot seem to find any on iTunes. Does iTunes offer any content in other countries (I live overseas) in the languages of those countries?

  • ITunes quits when I'm trying to open it. I have installed the latest version and another user on the same Mac can use their iTunes when they log in. I have tried deleting iTunes and re-installing but it still won't open. Any ideas?

    Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and make an new library.  Will it open then? If so, you have a bad library.  With the new library import the library.xml version of the file in your iTunes folder.  This will make it 90% like before (some metadata are not identical, but I don't know which ones).

  • HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer.  Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

    My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
    My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
    Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer.  Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro.  I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty.  Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
    I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks in anticipation

    I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
    For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
    It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

  • I upgraded itunes since a pop up stated that I would have to upgrade it so it can recognize my iphone5's new software. I upgraded the itunes and now when I plug in the iphone its asking "set up as new iphone" will this delete everything on my phone?

    I upgraded itunes since a pop up stated that I would have to upgrade it so it can recognize my iphone5's new software. I upgraded the itunes and now when I plug in the iphone its asking "set up as new iphone" will this delete everything on my phone? Also why is it forcing me to set up as a new iphone, why doesn't it recognize it like it did before I upgraded iTunes. I'm afaid I will lose all my apps, music, pictures etc. please help. thank you.

    You are correct. Corrupted files are in the backup. If you've already restored the iPhone it has been erased and starting over is the way to go in order to eliminate the corrupted files.
    Hope that helps

  • Why cant i download music in the Uk the same time as the USA why do we have to wait weeks and weeks to download music when other countries can download it straight away?

    #itunes store. Why cant i download music in the UK the same time as in the USA? Why do we have to wait weeks and weeks to downloand music when other fans can dowload music in other coutries when it is released in the US?

    Itunes can only provide what the owners of the distribution rights to the music provide.
    If the owner of the rights do not provide it, then itunes cannot sell it.
    You would have to ask the owners of the distribution rights in each country why they do not provide them at the same time.
