Why won't my Apple TV connect to my iTunes, even though it sees it through my wireless connection?, Why won't my Apple TV connect to my iTunes, even though it sees it through my wireless connection?

Apple TV and my MacBook Pro are connected to the same network. I have forwarded the appropriate ports on my router for the Apple TV to read my iTunes. It can see my iTunes library, but won't connect to it. Do anybody have any thoughts as to what's going on here?

AppleTV requires internet access to work properly.
This seems to extend beyond simply not allowing the internet based functions to work.
The problem you have I think is related to the DRM on the TV Shows - an internet connection is required for 'authorisation purposes', and I think this is for AppleTV2 to stream content not just for iTunes itself.
I took an AppleTV2, iPad, and a new Mac Mini on holiday a few months ago - I had no usable internet connection but set up a LAN using a mi-fi device.
I could play unprotected content on AppleTV 2 from the Mini having previously configured Home Sharing, but any DRM protected movies/TV Shows would not play as AppleTV 2 flagged 'authorisation issues'.
This really is stupid as iPods/iPhones/iPads do not need authorisation on the go and all AppleTV2 does is stream from an authorised library.
Add to that the fact that I just plugged the Mini in to the TVs HDMI port and could play the DRM protecetd content without any issues without an internet connection.
Trying to Airplay from ipad pre-configured for Home Sharing to AppleTV2 just brought up authorsiation issue errors again. Airplay is over-rated.

Why won't Apple fix the wifi connectivity problem with the iMac and new OS instead of just havin us go through hours of useless mock fixes!

I have spent hours with apple care about this problem with wifi connectivity. According to all the posts I'm not alone. I love my new IMAC
but i'll be glad to go back to my PC just so I can get my email without all the headaches. It seems that Apple has lost interest in
the IMAC and all of the problems associated with the new OS.

Keep in mind that ASC is where people go to get help, so yes, you are seeing reports of people who are having WiFi connection issues. But while it might seem like there are lots of people having trouble, given the sheer number of iMacs in use, it is a very small number. Also keep in mind that WiFi isn't totally under Apple's control. There are dozens of WiFi routers. Even worse, the manufacturers of WiFi routers often release firmware upgrades to fix flaws without ever informing the consumer. And just to add to the confusion, while WiFi 801.2 n routers have been sold for several years, for most of that time there was no agreed upon standard!
So if you'd like help, first, what router do you have and have you checked the vendor site to see that it has the latest firmware?

Why wont my netflix connect to HD TV through chromecast. No problem connecting youtube from apple mini ipad

My apple mini ipad will connect you tube to my HD TV through chromecast. Why won't my netflix on my mini ipad connect to my HD TV through chromecast?

Could you specify what brand, model, and ports the TV has?
Perhaps the maker of the digital TV has customer support.
Unless that's part of the issue, a general lack of it there, too.
However remote that may be, a few have a web page with
pictures of the back or end of their product with ports in view.
And/or a schematic of the kinds of gremlins they have inside.
Was your MB/Pro a certified Apple Store refurbished 'special deal' or bought at a retail store from existing stock that may have been an older model?
In either case, the ability to return the item has a limited duration from the date of purchase; unless there is a technical issue whereby they may choose to repair or replace a failed component or device. Perhaps someone with more experience with the device and adapters will offer their take on what to attempt next.
Sorry you've had so much trouble...
Good luck in any event.

You must have had find my iPhone on, or it was locked by your phone carrier.
Call your our cell carrier first.
then log on to a computer to iCloud to erase your iPhone.
NOW... You will be able to setup with a backup.

Why Lion won't connect to Non Apple Timemachine servers via AFP...

so far. Take a look at this. It may go a long way to help folk understand why it's broken.
I wholeheartedly atribute this to a chap on trick77.com but I can confirm that my set up...
HP Proliant 4 x 1 TB drives runing Ubuntu 8.04.2 with 4 shares for my Mac stuff under 'afp' and 1 share under 'smb' ,so my wifes Windows work laptop can be backed up. Since update to Lion on main Mini no Time Machine.
I tried adding the line......uams_dhx_2_passwd.so......in Webmin but it did't work. I am sure a fix will be out soon so for time being I just back up important stuff either to good old cheap DVD discs and a USB drive.
==
AFP network connections to many Linux-based NAS units aren’t working in Mac OS X Lion 10.7 developer preview. After hitting the connect button a message pops up saying:
The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem.
The Time Machine backup feature present in many NAS obviously isn’t working as well because it’s based on AFP too.
You may say that this is a developer preview, things will change for the final release. That’s obviously true. Source say that this connection problem most likely has to do with Apple discontinuing support for DHCAST128 (or DHX) authentication in Lion because it was considered insecure. Instead, the successor of DHCAST128 should be used: the more secure DHX2 user authentication module. DHX2 is supported since Mac OS X 10.2 and supports up to 256 characters for passwords (**** yeah, that should be enough). It relies on CAST-128 in cipher block chaining mode for encryption.
I checked my QNAP NAS for available afpd/netatalk UAMs and DHX2 isn’t present, so it most likely wouldn’t work with Lion.
Well, if it weren’t for Time Machine, I could always resort to SMB.
[/usr/local/etc/netatalk/uams] # ls -ladrwxr-xr-x
1024 Jan 31 23:08 ./drwxr-xr-x
1024 Feb 25 20:14 ../lrwxrwxrwx
14 Feb 25 2011 uams_clrtxt.so -> uams_passwd.so*lrwxrwxrwx
18 Feb 25 2011 uams_dhx.so -> uams_dhx_passwd.so*-rwxr-xr-x
10959 Jan 31 23:08 uams_dhx_passwd.so*-rwxr-xr-x
5304 Jan 31 23:08 uams_guest.so*-rwxr-xr-x
6996 Jan 31 23:08 uams_passwd.so*
AFP authentication might work if a uams_dhx_2_passwd.so authentication module was present and configured. It may not be a bad idea to raise this issue with your NAS vendor if you plan to use Lion in the near future.
Rumor has it that some NAS vendors intentionally disable DHX2 in netatalk because it’s a lot more CPU intensive. This could lead to longer login times when accessing AFP shares on NAS’ units with slow CPUs.
Update 2-26-2011: It has been verified that Lion is able to connect to a Linux host running netatalk 2.1.2 supporting the DHX2 UAM in afpd.
Update 7-15-2011: See Time Machine support in OS X Lion 10.7.

Now we also have to wait for 'Netatalk' stable release to be outed as that should resolve the Ubuntu via Webmin picture..(we hope).
I tried different work arounds and have reset them all back to what they were and will just have to wait for Apple to address this. Hope this snippet
gives a little clarity
Cheers,
Michael

Hi Slammer,
I don't have a Qnap. The info between both == signs is to give an understanding of what’s going on.
Myself I have a HP Proliant 4 x 1 TB drives running Ubuntu 8.04.2 with 4shares for my Mac stuff under 'afp' and 1 share under 'smb', so my wife’s Windows work laptop can be backed up.
Now I have got all my connectivity back by using the terminal commands whichis now well documented but here is a good place if doing it on Lion as shown byMember 'ctendell'...
http://charlestendell.com/os-x-lion-afp-nas-connection-error-fix/
I can now see my server and everything on it but still no Time Machine backups because you need Netatalk 2.2 to be loaded on the server in my case and millions of others into Ubuntu.
(The version I am sporting at present is Netatalk 2.03). This I can do by using Webmin and will do it after the update to Lion due shortly. I could do it now, but I won't.
I should never have updated to Lion, and do what I have always done, and that was wait until at least 3-4 updates have taken place and review all the discussions on this forum to see if issues have been resolved.
With regards to DH....Things may have been fixed in the next update which has been seeded and a selectable choice option to use the prior DH....over the new version may be on the cards. The Netatalk latest version is still in beta format though it can be used and has been implemented by NAS manufacturers, but as I understand its due to become 'stable' and no longer in 'beta mode'.
I dare say that S.Jobs will not want to alienate a huge group so a fix will be the right thing to do but given the mountain of cash they have and most of the revenue coming from iPhones, iPads etc, they may decide not to and of course that means 3rd party fixes.
Patience is a virtue but Apple sometimes sorely tests it.
Cheers

I'm unable to send and receive email through Apple Mail 4. I've checked my settings on Preferences, and my password to Gmail is up to date for syncing with IMAP, but it still won't connect. Suggestions?

I'm unable to send and receive email through Apple Mail 4. I've checked my settings on Preferences, and my password to Gmail is up to date for syncing with IMAP, but it still won't connect. Suggestions?

I think it's trying to open it in a gMail eMail & is losing your gMail password that it needs log into gMail, but not 100% positive.
Have you tried Right clicking or Control+click on the eMail link & choose Copy? Works on some, not others.

Trying to connect our exercise bike to our wireless network. It sees the network, but once pass phrase is put in, it won't connect. Any suggestions? We have an Airport Extreme.

I am trying to connect our exercise bike to our wireless network. It sees the network, but once pass phrase is put in, it won't connect. Their tech support said the problem is with the router and we may need to open ports 80, 443 and 4348. We have an AirPort Extreme and I scanned for open ports and found 80 already open but the others are not. Tried using Port Mapping, putting the port number 443 in both the Public UDP and TCP fields and the Private UDP and TCP fields also. The Private IP address defaulted to 10.0.1.201 which is right outside of the DHCP range. Will this be the IP of the bike or should I change it to something else? Are the values I put in the fields totally wrong? Bike is still not connecting. Thanks for any help!

Here's an update:
Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.

Macbook sees bellsouth wireless dsl but won't connect

My macbook sees the wireless signal from my bellsouth modem and it says it is connected but when I try to get online it says I am not connected? any ideas? I have searched the forums but can't find the answer..

No definite solution, but a few ideas:
You may want to try connecting through ethernet; if this works, you've narrowed down the issue. A router reset is a basic step. You can also try changing your security settings. My router will only work with my macbook with WEP encryption, for instance, not WPA.
Hope this helps a little,

Won't connect to a wireless network that it sees

My iPad (iOS 6.1.3) sees my wireless network extender but won't connect to it. Just started today. Any ideas or remedies? I've tried unlearning the network and relearning. I've also done a reset, etc. nothing works. As I said, it sees the network but when it tries to connect, the little wheels just spin. BTW, it DOES see and connect to the main wireless router network fine.
Thanks for any ideas.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Why won't Apple let Leica Disto connect to iPad & iPhone?

I am a surveyor/designer, I take all site measurements using a Lieca Disto and write them on paper. There is software available to link Distos to Anroid tablets but according to Leica apple won't license them to connect via bluetooth to their products. Does anyone know why, or can Apple comment please as it would be so useful, the only alternative otherwise is to go out and buy Android equipment!
AJ

Apple doesn't respond in these discussion groups - they're user-to-user only.
You can feed back directly at
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
I'm not an expert on this, but Apple limits the kinds of data connection available via Bluetooth, and I guess this is the issue for Leica

Why won't my Apple Wireless keyboard connect or turn off even after holding the button down?

I have installed windows 8 release preview on my mac mini through boot camp. When pressing alt to choose to boot into mac, I pressed alt too soon and so windows started to load. When it loaded I realised my keyboard was no longer working. The light just flashed. I tried holding the power button to turn it off and normally this would work fine but this time it wouldn't turn off. I took out the batteries and replaced them and it still won't turn off. And even now, it won't connect to my mac mini or my iPad either. I've read on a forum that it might reset if I take the batteries out for 30 mins so I'll try again tomorrow and then report back, but I'm quite annoyed about this!

It turns out it was faulty batteries!! Just bought an Apple battery charger so will use that from now on!

I am connected to a time capsule both wirelessly and through ethernet...and state of the time capsule is solid green...the internet however doesn't work...The internet works fine when directly connected to my macbook pro but it won't work through the tc

I have deleted time machine preferences...restarted the modem a bunch of times, restored time capsule to it's original settings...after I first set it up in Airport Ulitity its shows a page quickly that states there is a internet problem, but the page quickly goes away before I can read what it says exaclty and states the internet connection problem is resolved...
However it's not resolved, I'm also having trouble doing a back up to my time capsule...I recently purchased a new macbook and retrieved/restore what was on the time capsule to the new computer...that worked fine...wireless worked fine...however when I tried to back up the new macbook...it would faii stating that there isn't enough room on the TC to do a back up...
I didn't end up keeping the new macbook, I was just using it/trying it out while my current macbook pro was being repaired (logic board)
Ever since I got my current macbook back from repair...my backups have failed due to their not being enough space to perform the back up...in the past the back ups would happen and old back ups would be replaced...
I think this has to do with my current computer having a new name after the repair..."Adam's macbook pro 2" vs "Adam's macbook pro"
The internet was working fine wirelessly through the TC a day ago, but it wasn't allowing my other laptop that was connected via ethernet access to the internet...I had a self assigned IP address error then...I don't have that problem now, but it's not transmitting internet at all...even though it's in a solid green state.
I have no problem completely wiping out my TC including the previous back ups on it...just don't know how to go about it...I have restored it to factory settings a bunch of times and created the network from scratch...just hasn't fixed the issue
Is there more prefences files I should delete

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

TS1538 Why won't my iPhone 5 apple device connect to apple itunes store? I updated iOS7 and now it won't work. All my music does appear on the phone, but a playlist I created won't update. . Help!?!?!

Before I upgraded to IOS7 I could connect my iPhone5 with my computer but it won't let me do it now

Without the Apple ID and passcode that was used to originally activate the device you will not be able to use it ever. This is Activation Lock, a feature of iOS 7. See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
Without that information, that device is nothing more than a fancy paperweight and no one, including Apple will be able to activate it.

Apple only guarantees the operation of it's products. It's not the iOS. Return it to the seller.
