1 of my 2 Apple TVs not showing up in devices.....after 30 seconds its gone

I'm going crazy trying to figure out why ATV#1 is not consistently showing up in devices. It will show up briefly when I launch iTunes then after 30 seconds, while trying to sync, will dissappear. I've tried everything to no avail. And I'm sure it's not my network b/c ATV#2 is always listed under devices and immediately syncs after adding new material to iTunes. ATV#1 worked perfect prior to adding ATV#2, then #2 seemed to "take over" priority within iTunes.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

RECAP: ATV#2 syncs and is always listed in iTunes devices, ATV#1 only shows up when I initially launch iTunes then dissappears within 30 to 60 seconds. ATV#1 prior to ATV#2 being installed, worked flawlessly- just like ATV#2 does currently.
Each ATV has a different IP address- just checked them.
Each ATV has been registered and both are listed under iTunes > Pref > Apple TV > and "look for ATVs" is checked with "syncing" next to them
I just changed locations i.e. took ATV#1 and swapped it with ATV#2 location. BOTH are now listed under devices and ATV#1 is STAYING listed under devices unlike before. I haven't tried to sync #1 yet. That will be the test to see if it syncs and stays syncing until it's finished.
Any thoughts why changing locations would "fix" the problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Re-pair your library with iTunes.
    Settings/computers, disconnect your library, then remove the Apple TV from iTunes prefs if necessary.
    Then settings/computers/connect to iTunes.

  • Two Apple TVs not showing photos in Fotostream

    Hello
    I had to reset both my Apple TVs (newest gen) due to Wifi issues and reconfigured everything. FW is the newest 5.3..
    Since then, Fotostream does not show the pictures I have in my fotostream. Instead the error reading is "0 fotos, no fotos in album".
    My account is configured correctly, everything else, including the iTunes store, works.
    I have restarted the ATVs, disconnected and reconnected my Fotostream account. To no avail. It still reads "no fotos in album".
    Does anyone know what could be causing this issue?
    Thanks

    Sorry, found out my error by myself: Since I still have the old me.com address, I have a separate Fotostream-Account that I needed to access.

  • Apple TV not showing up in device list in iTunes

    Apple TV stopped showing up in the devices list in iTunes when I tried to sync my movies, and iTunes froze in mid-sync. Since there is no "eject" button for Apple TV in iTunes, the only thing to do was to close iTunes. When I opened it up again...no more Apple TV under devices. Apple TV works as a stand-alone and I can purchase and view using controls in Apple TV, but I can't sync iTunes with Apple TV, so all my previous purchases are stuck in iTunes until I can sync again. I have tried all the work-arounds suggested by Apple. This is my second Apple TV. The first one did the same thing before the returns deadline kicked in. Hey Apple!! Wake up and fix this!!! If I can't sync with iTunes then I am not putting any money into movie rentals or purchases!! This is costing YOU $$$$$$$$!!

    I had this problem and tried most of the suggested solutions. I could ping the ATV, so I had not network problems. Finally, this is the suggestion that worked for me (Windows 7 user running iTunes 9.1.0.79):
    - power off the ATV
    - open iTunes on the computer;
    - ensure "Share my library on local network is enabled in iTunes (Edit--Preferences--Sharing);
    - power on the ATV;
    - go to "Add Shared iTunes Library" on the ATV (Setting-->Computer menu, second line of the menu) which puts up a new passcode on the screen;
    - DON'T proceed with inputting the passcode number to add the shared iTunes Library, but instead press "menu" button on ATV remote to exit the "Add Library" function and return to the ATV setting menu;
    - this step seems to wake up the ATV<-->iTunes connection and at this point the ATV device reappeared on iTunes!;
    - on the ATV (Setting--Computer menu) I was then able to connect to the nominated iTunes library (top line of the menu) and enter the passcode required by that screen.

  • HELP (Apple TV not showing up in Devices list)

    Has anyone resolved this issues. Like many others, i have things set up perfectly. My itunes stream, but when I go back to sync photos,etc. there is no Apple TV in the "Devices" list (as there is no devices list).
    HEEEEEEELP

    AppleTV does not show up in my Devices list unless there is a code on the screen of the AppleTV. It's not the way I understand it's supposed to work, and apparently not the way everyone's works, but it's a reasonable workaround for me. I think this is a bug in the software that's interacting with something else on my network or a QC problem with some hardware component, because it doesn't happen to every AppleTV.

  • Apple mail not showing all the messages?

    In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
    As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
    I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

    Solved!
    This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
    I found a solution thanks to this topic:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
    defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
    does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
    defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
    Does work brilliantly though!

  • 1st gen apple tv not showing all movies synced from iTunes.

    I have 30 movies in iTunes library that I synced to my 1st gen Apple TV.  I have viewed several of these movies in the past on the Apple TV but some are not coming up in the listings anymore.  I go back to iTunes and still see that they are still stored/synced to the Apple TV.  Why can't I see them listed anymore? (Can't see them under 'Watched' or 'Unwatched')

  • My iPod is not showing any of my music in its library.

    My iPod is not showing any of my music in its library. I can only listen to and see my music when the iPod is plugged into the computer. Even when its plugged in my Ipod says there is no music in the library but iTunes says its all on there. Any suggestions on what the problem may be?

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try unsyncing all the music and resyncing.
