Wired Apple TV3 not seeing 2.4GHz on dual band router

I have an iPhone 4 that will not airplay to my apple TV. The iPhone 4 operates on my 2.4GHz band of my dual band router (netgear WNDR3700) The SSID for 2.4 is network and the 5ghz is network-5GHz. Am I to believe that these both must be the same name for the Apple TV to see it? I don't understand why it has issues since my ATV is wired and not using wireless and my 2 iPhone 5, and iPad 2 have no issues AirPlaying. (all on 5GHz) Shouldn't the fact that it is wired mean that it should see any device on my network? I have searched the forums and have not really found and issue like this, so I do apologize if there is one out there that I did not see.
Thanks for any help, this is really bugging me.

Alos I just switched my iPhone 5 to 2.4GHz and it worked. Looks like it might be just an issue with my iPhone 4. Weird....

Computer doesn't see second channel in Dual Band router

I have just purchased a Cisco Linksys simultaneous dual band wireless N gigabit router (model WRT610N-EU).
The router has two channels, 1) linksys and 2) linksys_media. Both my computer and my TV see and connect without problem to linksys. However, my intention with the dual band router what to have one channel for my laptop and one for the TV. Unfortunately, neither see the linksys_media channel. What is strange is that a visiting friend was able to see both channels on his laptop. So why don't I?
Is there a compatibility issue here or am I doing something wrong?
BTW, my laptop is less than six months old and is running Windows 7 (newer than my friend's laptop). The TV is a top of the line model and two months old.

Most likely your devices don't support the 5 GHz band. Check the specifications of the wireless adapters in your wireless devices.

Apple tv3 not seeing homeshared PC since itunes update

My 2 Apple tv 3 devices worked perfectly with homeshare until I updated itunes on my W7 laptop.
Now they do not recognise the PC. I've checked identities, restarted all hardware including my router, shut down firewalls etc. etc. nothing works.
Netflix, mirroring etc. all work perfectly.
When will this be resolved?

Steve Join the club. Read to the right of this page under more like this. Its not just you. Tons of people are complaining the same thing and having the same problems. Some have to uncheck the box(homeshare) and check it again to see it. Me, its when itunes is closed or computer asleep. I have to restart itunes to see it everytime i load up the apple tv(pc). Macbook i have to close itunes and restart it to see it. Its an apple thing to fix(has to be). No Deff Solution Yet!

Connecting Harmony Hub to Apple Dual Band Router

It appears that the Harmony Hub only connects to 2.4 ghz and my dual Airport Extreme, although it sends out both 5 and 2.4 doesn't work with it. If we can't find a work around one thing we are considering is whether we can add a second (2.4ghz only) router to the network either directly to the modem or as an extension of the network. I'm a little (a lot) over my head on this stuff so would appreciate any suggestions or approaches. thanks

Hi @SP-Michigan ,
I see that you are experiencing issues with setting up the printer over the network on the Comcast Dual Band Router.
I will do my best to help you.
Restore the factory settings on the printer.
Press the OK button on the printer, go to service, then select restore defaults.
Print a configuration page from the printer to make sure the IP and SSID are cleared.
Most likely it is the settings on the router that might need to be changed.
If it is set to 5 GHZ network you may need to change to 2.4 GHZ. (rename the 5ghz or shut it off)
You might also have to set it to WPA personal.
The WPA key setting needs to be on AES to work correctly not TKIP.
Multi casting needs to be turned on.
Firewall on router has to have open ports for printer.
If you have Mac Filtering you need to give printer hardware address from configuration page.
You might need to contact Comcast for further assistance to check those settings.
I have provided a document for setting up the wireless connection or you can follow my different methods provided.
Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

I have a dual band router. How can I tell if my iPad is using 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz.

I have a dual band router. How can I tell if my iPad is using 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz. I want to try and manage all the devices in the house over our WLAN. Thanks. Nik

I'm not really sure there is a way to tell, it certainly doesn't seem to be something you can set within the iPad so I'd assume that if a 5Ghz frequency is available it would use that, otherwise it would default to using a 2.4Ghz frequency instead. I'd also assume from having a 5Ghz router myself that there would be some sort of light on your router which will flash on/off when data is recieved so if iPad is your only 5Ghz device and it's sending/receiving data then this light should flash on your router.

Itunes not syncing with iphone & apple tv not seeing itunes

Recently installed itunes 10.4, now itunes wont sync with iphone and apple TV 2 cannot see itunes on a wired network. The error message says Apple Mobile Device has not started - confirmed that apple mobile device did start. With upgraded itunes apple tv cannot see the itunes library on a wired or wireless network.
Reinstalled itunes several times now, and nothing changes. Using pc, windows vista, outlook 2007.
Any suggestions on how to fix these problems?

Sure it's selcted, it's just not being stored in my iPhone's iTunes library as its stored on my macbook's iTunes library. I've dragged it to where I want it and it still won't store. I havne't needed to connect them with a cable since late last year I think with the new iTunes and updates, and you shouldn't have to. But this is frustrating, I finally found a way to get Tool on iTunes and I can't get it stored on my iPhone.

Apple TV not seeing all my iPhotos

My iPhoto library is organised into events and I have also created some albums of Favourites and Latest.
Apple TV does see all these events and albums but NOT all the photos inside them.
For example my Favourites album has over 1000 photos in. Apple TV only sees 76 of them.
Same problem on all my folders.
Also Apple TV WILL NOT display any of my images as a screen saver.
I have made sure that all events and albums are selected via the iTunes Home Sharing menu.
Viewing family photos is one of the main reasons for purchasing the Apple TV.
Any advice or help is most welcome.
Thanks

Have you examined the photos for any obvious differences. Have you tried anything yourself such as repairing permissions on the photos.

2nd gen apple tv not seeing entire iphoto library

Here's something weird - anyone know why I can't see my entire iPhoto library on my 2nd gen. Apple TV?
I have my entire library shared in iPhoto
I have home sharing turned on in iTunes and am signed in using my Apple ID on the apple TV
I see my whole iTunes library and am able to stream movies etc to Apple TV
What's weird is only certain (two) events show up in the Photos section under "Computers" but when I select computers/photos it says "my iTunes." ALSO, when I go to iTunes/devices on my computer, I don't see my 2nd gen Apple TV listed - only my 1st gen Apple TV...
Any ideas out there, Apple Gurus???
Thanks!!!

You select the photos that are shared to your Apple TV from the advanced menu in iTunes.
Apple TV 2 is not intended to show up under the devices list in iTunes.

MBP will not access n on TC Dual Band. Firmware 7.4.1 doesn't work either.

So maybe I'm missing something.
I have the Time Capsule dual band. Brand new. An Apple Care replacement of my original Time Capsule (non dual band). 1 TB versions.
Replaced because I can't access the 5ghz band from my MacBook Pro.
MacBook Pro 15"
Model Identifier: MacBookPro2,2
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x87)
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.4.8.3
Current Wireless Network: xxxx
Wireless Channel: 11
I currently have the TC set with Radio Mode 802.11a/n-802.11g only. My MBP will only join the g side. I know this because holding down the Option key and looking at the Airport Menu icon shows I'm on channel 11 at Transmit Rate of 54.
In Airport Utility under Airport/Wireless/Wireless Options I have also allow the 5ghz network name to be shown.
I my Airport Menu if I select this 5ghz network I'm asked for the password. I type in the password and get connection timed out. All the time.
Now the interesting part:
The TC has firmware 7.4. If I upgrade it to 7.4.1 my computer will not even see the Time Capsule at all. I have to do a hard restart of the TC and immediately downgrade the Firmware back to 7.4.
Interesting part number two is:
I have an original Airport Extreme. The first release of the n Airport. If I try and use this unit at 5ghz also, my MBP will get the same Connection Timeout. But the MBP will work on n band at 2.4ghz. BThis running firmware 7.3.6 ( I think that is it). IF I upgrade this unit to 7.4.1? Again I will not even be able to see the Airport on my MBP. Again I have to down grade the unit to 7.3.6 after a hard restart.
So for me the 7.4.1 update is not workable. And Apple replaced my original TC twice with the same results. I returned them and they sent me the newest TC. And as stated above, the same results.
So 7.4.1 doesn't work at all for me.
5ghz n band doesn't work for me.
Any ideas? I'm assuming my Airport Card in the MBP is defective at this stage. It can't access 5ghz, And working on sending out the computer for check up to Apple. Or a Genius Bar visit.
Anyone else having n access on their computers? And the 7.4.1 Firmware?

Update to my post above- this is SO weird
If I manually select channel 40 on the 5ghz band, I can access 5ghz. I do not get the Connection Timeout. I on it right now.
Before I manually selected channel 40 the TC was in channel 149.
Does this mean anything? Now I'm not sure if the Airport Card in my MBP is defective or not.

Apple TV3 Not Showing The Main Screen Icons except Computer

I tried to do everything that i've read in here..
I tried to unplug the power cable for 30 seconds and replug it, same problem occurs.
The Main Screen icons don't appear such as Youtube, Radio, the internet, etc..
I get the computer and settings icon only...(See picture)
/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/186/18672415-1.jpg
The internet is working just fine.. The system is up to date,
I tried resetting, restarting the system.. nothing worked..
I bought 2 Apple TV 3's and they both have the same issue..
Also, when I bought it in the U.S, the sales person in NY-5th Avenue store showed me the languages available, and one of them was the Arabic language..
Now that I bought it, this language doesn't exist.. Is there a way to add more languages?
Thanks for your time.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.

Apple TV3 not working - Can not connect to iTunes, Very, very slow streaming. Help please?

For just over a week I have been unable to stream film/TV shows from Netflix via my Apple TV. When I have been able to, the streaming is painfully slow... for example, to watch a half hour program I have had to pause it at the beginning and leave it for 30-40mins before I can watch it and even then i'm not guaranteed to be able to watch it all! On top of the streaming issues, I tried to purchase a film from iTunes via the Apple TV - this took 3days to download!! Then finally, last night, it all seemed to stop working - will not connect to iTunes account at all (can not connect to server). I have checked again this morning and the error message says the same thing. My internet connection is fine (perfect on both mac, dell laptop and iPhone. I have tried the obvious troubleshooting methods - nothing has helped.
Can anyone please tell me whether this is an internal Apple issue and if we know how and when this will be resolved? Or has anyone else had the same problems and been able to resolve them?
I'm pulling my hair out...

This would be an issue with your network. Netflix will constantly adapt to your connection. iTunes content is fixed, will cache as you watch, and will need to load a portion before playback begins. As you have not provided information on what you have tried, I will list common things to check.
What is your current connection, via speedtest.net
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
Make sure router is up to date, if on wifi try ethernet
Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

Wired Apple Keyboard not recognized in Win 7 64x bootcamp partition

I installed a bootcamp partition on an iMac late 2012 i5 running 10.8.3 following the Bootcamp instructions. Windows 7 64x installed fine. My wireless Apple keyboard and magic mouse work fine. However, when I plug in my previous Apple wired keyboard from my 2008 iMac, Windows doesn't recognize it, keyboard doesn't work, and the USB ports on the keyboard don't work. Called Apple support and they said to call Microsoft. MS said they didn't have an answer. Anyone else have this issue and any success resolving it? Would really prefer to use the wired keyboard for gaming and the numeric keypad.

Sorry - also meant to say that I had Win 7 x32 installed in a bootcamp partition on my previous 2008 C2D iMac and the wired keyboard worked fine.
