AppleTV Music stops playing

Yesterday I bought my Apple TV 3rd generation. What a fantastic device! Only one thing that does not work properly. When I stream music from my pc to Apple TV, only 1 or maximum 2 songs are played, but then the music stops. The circle that shows that you'll have to wait keeps turning and turning. When I quit playing the music, everything else works perfect (radio, youtube, et cetera, even browsing photos via the same iTunes!).

When I restart iTunes on my pc, I can play 1 or two songs before the playing stops.

Has anyone a idea what goes wrong?

I checked that everything has the latest softwareversion.

Apple TV, Windows Vista

I'm pretty confident that the latest version of sotware is the problem. I've been using mine fore a long time with no problems. Yesterday I updated both itunes on my imac and the apple tv device. I've had the same problem since. You'd think Apple would know that they pushed a bug and would fix it very quickly?

I agree with Tom...


I never had this problem until a few days ago.


iTunes 11 and the ATV update have screwed my listening pleasure.


I expect it will be the new year before its fixed.

I have the same issue. I have a mac based network (Mac Mini and ATV2) and ever since the latest iTunes and Apple TV update, it takes longer for homesharing to upload and I get frequent streaming interruptions during music play. Everything else (YouTube, Internet Radio, etc) works fine.

I have had this problem - music stops streaming on 1st or 2nd song then ATV says "not connected to network" when it is. I had installed a new router so I went back to the old router and did not have the problem so focussed on the new router. It is a Telstra Netgear CG3100D.

I went into the WiFi Multimedia section and did the following:

VMM set to OFF

No Acknowledgement - set to OFF

Power Save Support - Set to OFF

Rebooted the router and the ATV and Voila - it worked!!!


Seems may have been an incompatibility between Apple and non Apple Multi Media

Let me know if you want to check any other settings - Ive tried them all
