Why do my ATV's play music sourced from a computer OK but when the same computer plays the same library through Airplay to the same ATV's the streaming breaks down?

Does anyone know why my ATV's (connected to AV & hifi systems) can play music from a computer OK but when I try to use the same computer and library and play them through the same ATV's using Airplay the streaming often breaks down? Although I could live with the current situation I am missing the opportunity for simultaneous multi-zone playing with single volume control via the Remote App on my iPhoneS. Just find it curious as all the elements of the system are the same, ATV's, computer, router etc and would have expected the quality and efficiency to be the same under both modes of operation.

Yes, the quality and efficiency of the audio should be the same for both methods. The fact that it isn't may suggest that you have a problem on your network. Have you checked for interference.

I have an apple certified refurbished iPod touch 3rd generatio. When playing the music with headphones, the music moves from song to song. When it is on a docking station, it repeats the song. Any ideas why or how to fix it?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Why can't I transfer my itunes kibrary from old computer to my new one?

I am trying to get my old library onto my new computer and the best way for me to do that is take them off of my I Phone 3gs and "transfer purchases" but when I try it the "authorize this computer " shows up and it is already authorized! So I still give my info, and it tells me this computer is already authorized and then does nothing. It keeps going on like that, it's a frustrating circle!

Why can't I transfer my itunes kibrary from old computer to my new one?
You can very easily.
Simply copy the entire /Music/iTUnes folder from old computer to new computer.

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

How do i transfer my music lib from one computer to another

hello,
Can someone suggest how I transfer my music lib from one computer?

anything you have PURCHASED with itunes you will be able to move simply by plugging your phone/ipad/ipod into the new computer, and selecting "transfer purchases" with itunes.
Everything else, you will need a thumb drive or SD card for.

I don't know - but I am having the same problem and have not had any useful help from Apple Support. Everything they told be to do has been done and it hasn't fixed the problem.

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

Thanks for the interest. Preferences are similar on both machines: screen sharing, file sharing, printer sharing & scanner sharing all ticked and radio button for Screen Sharing is ON.
My confusion is that I can get a network connection to the iMac by selecting "go to server" on the PowerMac running 10.5.8 but am unable to make the iMac connect to the PowerMac using similar selections. When ethernet cable is plugged in the PowerMac shows up on the finder bar on the iMac, but it does not allow either screen sharing or connection to occur - a dialog box tells me to check System Prefs and Network connection.
I'm hoping to export a large file of photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my wife's PowerMac and hoped to achieve this with an ethernet network connection.

Then you either have a network problem or a hardware problem or a corrupted hard drive. You might try:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
You can also try downloading from another computer on a different network connection.

It's no longer possible to add music from my computer to my iTunes library, It's no longer possible to add music from my computer to my iTunes library

Problem: I can't add any music from my computer to my itunes library anymore!
Hey there!
As I explained above, I can't add any music from my computer to my itunes mediacentre since one week. There is no error indication or any other message in which it is mentioned that the music I tried to add has not been added. It is just not in my library.
Even if I delete some music it is not possible to add music.
I just downloaded the new itunes in hope that the problem would be solved, but there is no change.
Perhaps you can help me!
That would be great!
Thanks..

Ok so you are saying that if I had photos stored there, I would have had an account. By the fact the site said it cannot create one, means I could not have photos there. That is how you can say with certainty that people in that position have no photos stored. It's that correct? If so, thank you for the clarification.
Also I originally sent this answer as a reply to your email above, but it came back as:
<[email protected]>:
Remote host said: 550 No such user - psmtp [RCPT_TO]
even tho it said in the email that I could reply or post a response. Just wanted you to know.
